This, Oh I second this so much. There is no funnier stuff than Cromartie High School.Cheesepower5 said:Oh god... Can't believe I forgot...
Motherfuckin' Cromartie High School! Forget all that other dreck I and everyone else mentioned and watch this right now!
Based on what I've seen of the manga, it seems like the anime doesn't really deviate too boldly from it. Speaking of deviation, you may notice that I didn't list certain popular anime series like Bleach and, Deathnote. This is because I greatly enjoyed the manga more than the anime series (although in the case of Bleach I stopped at number 24). Petshop of Horrors was another manga series that had a short anime run but the 10-manga mini-series greatly surpasses the anime in my opinion.Capitano Segnaposto said:I also agree on the Lucky Star anime. Hilarious. Anyways, is the Love Hina Anime any good? The Manga is one of my favorites (as it was one of my first that I read), but I haven't heard that many great things from the Anime.
Also could anyone explain to me why Guilty Crown is so hated? Sure Shu and Inori are the worst characters possible, but it has great animation, decent story, and great sound design.
I would not recommend the Love Hina anime as it deviates quite a bit from the manga. The first six episodes do follow the manga very closely up to the point were Keitaro and Naru go to Kyoto after failing their exams. However, episodes 7-11 have nothing in common with the manga. Episodes 12-25 go back and forth between manga content and original content.Capitano Segnaposto said:I also agree on the Lucky Star anime. Hilarious. Anyways, is the Love Hina Anime any good?

I finished watching Elfen Lied 3 days ago (moved onto Wolf's Rain now which I would highly recommend EDIT: Finished Wolf's Rain, would no longer recommend it, it gets worse as the series goes on and has one of the worst endings I have ever seen!), and it might be in my top 3 animes now, really emotionally exhausting although it has a happy ending and the tone of the show is just amazing, although there is a shit tonne of gore it goes with the plot which I like and that is coming from someone who dislikes huge ammounts of gore because I think it's stupid. Definatly a 9.5/10 anime, the only thing holding it back is Yuka, god I disliked her, mainly because she was always crying and complaining yet has the least problems out of the cast, seriously...verdant monkai said:I just watched Elfen Lied.....
Never have I ever watched something that has made me feel such a diverse range of emotions. One minute Revulsion, Pity and Sadness the next Happiness, humoured, and hope.
There is some pretty extreme violence and abuse of cute little anime girls, but the sheer array of emotions it makes you feel is staggering I have never seen anything like it. Its not even the best anime I have ever seen its just when it did make me feel happy I felt really happy, it is hard to explain.
If you cannot stomach visceral dismemberment and an awkward smattering of naked little girls you should stay the hell away from this anime.
Really you should just watch DEATH NOTE!! it is my current favourite. But I can also heartily recommend Cromartie Highschool, it is poorly animated and makes no sense but you will laugh your ass off, if you like random humour.
Apologies for shocking grammar I should be in bed.
