The Anime Recommendation Thread started by AFRO THUNDAH aka SRUUTON YOU GOT ME

[AfroQT]

So yo, i remember when everyone was talking about higurashi.
Just to make a point, i very rarely watch anime. Ive seen death note...chrono crusade and higurashi (seasons 1 and 2 or w/e you want to call them).

Any recommendations.

 

[CrypTik]

I'm currently watching Yu Yu Hakusho.

 

[Vts]

depends on what you like.

right now i'm finishing up Nodame Cantabile (its a show about classic music and learning piano comedy/romance) i'm enjoying.

its makes me want to play my piano so much more.

but i'll post a list of good anime for different types later.

 

[Exdeath]

Code Geass is very good.

 

[CRASHiC]

...Will probably think of more at a later date.

 

[NickRiddle]

Angel Beats.
Hellsing Ultimate
ToraDora (If you like cute ****.)
Bakemonogatari

Also, if you liked Higurashi, Umineko no Naku Koro Ni.
I'm not sure if it ever finished...

 

[Master Raven]

Big O
FLCL
Monster
Full Metal Panic (all three series)
G Gundam (manly as ****)

I would recommend Evangelion but that's pretty much an acquired taste at this point if the divisive fanbase is of any indication >_>

There's more I could recommend, but honestly, when I look at it, I haven't watched a whole lot of anime (only around 40 titles... if you consider that a small number >_>) but I've been recently getting into the mood for it again. I'm planning on watching Record of Lodoss War and Boogiepop Phantom

 

[GodMeowMix]

FLCL is good

 

[DFEAR]

vocaloid, fresh pretty cure!, neon genesis evangelion, mermaid melody

are the animes im watching atm

 

[DC]

I can recommend you some loli stuff if you'd like.

 

[NickRiddle]

I can recommend you some loli stuff if you'd like.

[DFEAR]

3. Ichigo Mashimaro OVA
4. Lucky Star
5. Manabi Straight!
6. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai
7. Minami-ke
8. Moetan
9. Sky Girls TV
10. Sumomomo Momomo

iv seen lucky star and manabi straight! ._."

 

[AfroQT]

Im not going to watch anything with like... 100+ episodes.
Im also not going to watch any romance animes because yeah i dont roll that way.

Alot of people tell me to watch Code Geass but...i dont like watching robots man.
Ive seen FLCL before.

 

[CRASHiC]

Paranoia Agent has 6 episodes
Tatami Galaxy has 11 episodes

Neither have Robots
Neither are about romance
There ya go

 

[LoliLovesRain]

Not strictly romance and not a ton of episodes would be
-Ga-rei zero
- Elfen Lied
- Angel Beats!
-Bakemonogatari
-Gurren Lagann
- Dance in the Vampire Bund ( dunno if you'll like it but i thought it was good )
- gakuen mokushiroku high school of the dead
- Umineko no naku koro ni

The first 5 are the best out of those i listed

Thats all i can think of atm =/

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

If you want a small series, check out Gantz, or Ninja Scroll.

I don't even really like anime, but those two did it for me. They're short, and good.

And very gore packed, lol.

 

[Beanman]

****! Iknew a lot of you mother ****ers had **** taste but....Elfen lied?1....ANGEL BEATS?!?!?
Holy ****!

Don't listen to these people.
Check out these:
Baccano!
Durarara!!
Gurren Laggann
Monster
Outlaw Star
Black Jack
Mushishi
Fist of the North Star
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

After you finish all those...prepare yourself for Legend of the Galactic Heroes

 

[Vts]

Boku no pico watch it enjoy it.

its a must see anime.

it changes your veiw of anime

 

[yummynbeefy]

trigun
bebop
hokuto no ken (its old but its pretty awesome)
gurren laggann
melencholy of haruhi suzumiya


thats my top 5 right there

 

[Master Raven]

Outlaw Star is great.

And I third Cowboy Bebop.

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is also really good. It's a movie, and the plot is pretty basic and straightforward, but the presentation, characters, and ESPECIALLY the art are great. The voice acting is very good too (it was originally dubbed in English, then they dubbed it in Japanese sometime later, but I would recommend watching it in English since it's very well-done). D is pretty ******.

 

[GodMeowMix]

Give Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex a try, its only 26 episodes long. The show has a postcyberpunk world setting where the people are composed of cybernetic parts including their brains. Probably one of the more rewarding anime shows out there besides FLCL in my opinion.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

If you don't like romance anime then you haven't seen the right ones at all:

Koi Kaze
Honey and Clover
Rumbling Hearts
Saikano
uhhh... can't think of anymore.

Also, Beanman has great taste.

 

[GodMeowMix]

If you want to watch romance go watch Time Warner Classics.

 

[Exdeath]

Code Geass is much closer to Death Note than it is to robots.

 

[Beanman]

Code Geass is much closer to Death Note than it is to robots.

Robots are cooler than both.

If I had to choose one, I would say that watch geass, but honestly, there are so many better anime that these two shows shouldn't show up on your list for quite some time.

If you're looking for romance, I agree with honey and clover. Rumbling hearts is....interesting. I dislike the character designs, they are pretty bland when compared to the plot.

 

[Exdeath]

Berserk is very good, although the animation is outdated.

rofl what?
Or maybe i just dont want to watch cartoons romance each other.

Im thinking of watching Code Geass because so many people have recommended it to me, which is kinda the reason i ended up watching Death Note (which was probably my first anime ever)

 

[DFEAR]

tommy and i enjoy trigun...vash da stampede is too good.

Really???
Have you seen Cowboy Bebop? That tends to be the bridge that leads people to try anime. Watch that...right now. Seriously, stop reading this and find it.

Funimation has a lot of it's shows available for streaming.

Ive seen them here and there, Death Note was the first one i ever set down and watched fully. Ive seen episodes of Cowboy Bebop, but i dont know the story or anything.

 

[DC]

You ****heads don't know **** about romance anime **** everyone

 

[yummynbeefy]

tommy and i enjoy trigun...vash da stampede is too good.

[Beanman]

Adding one more to the list, although I haven't watched it personally, the amount of praise that is given to this series is overwhelming. Hajime no Ippo.

Did you like Death Note?

 

[AfroQT]

Did you like Death Note?

Loved it!!!

 

[yummynbeefy]

have fun i do highly reccomend watching cowboy bebop though seems like you would really like it

 

[Exdeath]

Loved it!!!

Code Geass is like a faster-paced version of Death Note. It's also somewhat brighter, but it isn't a big deal. Death Note is what got me into watching anime and one of the first shows I watched after it was Code Geass. I'm still not really an anime person, but Code Geass remains my favorite anime and I doubt that will change any time soon.
