Any anime you would Recommend to someone...

- Start date
Don't normally post here, but I would like to take the chance to spread around an anime that recently aired (In like June or April of this year I think).
Kids on the Slope (Sakamichi no Apollon)
It's the first show that's been directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (guy who did Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo) in several years.
It also reunites him with composer Yoko Kanno (responsible for Cowboy Bebop's kickass soundtrack as well as other animes like Ghost in the Shell), with the show featuring a crazy good jazz-based soundtrack.
The basic premise is that it follows these high school kids who really like jazz in 1960s Japan.
There's only 12 episodes and I've only watched the first 8, but this show's really awesome and I hope more people start checking it out.

Cowboy Bebop
FLCL
Only ones I've watched in their entirety I think and that was only cause of Toonami/Adult Swim.
Outside of that I've watched a bit of Gurren Lagann and I enjoyed it. Stopped keeping up with it though
Oh and welcome to the escapist!

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya hands down and deffinetly watch the Haruhi-chan Suzumiya ones there really funny
Katanagatari. It's twelve, hour-long episodes with gorgeous art, great characters, and a fascinating story. If it falls down anywhere, it's that the fights are a little anti-climactic for how much they're built up (but still cool).

...Come on I realize Escapist doesn't have the most refined taste and I usually say whatever floats your boat but that show was just BAD seriously I know people shit on shows like SAO and Elfen Lied a lot but I would rather watch those then Deadman Wonderland if you recommend Deadman then at least recommend the Manga.Shadowstar38 said:
At least these past couple years we haven't had much good stuff but this season is looking really good so far.
Check out the AOTYs and google some older charts the only real big shows that raked in money recently have been K-on and Puella Madoka Magica. I really enjoyed Stiens;Gate,Nichabros and Jinrui so those are possibilities really when it comes down to it google is your friend.
Thanks for the suggestion man but I dont think my fragile little mind can take anymore emotionally exhausting anime, at the moment (I am one of the annoying people who cries at the end). Although it does sound like something I will definitely check out in the future.xplosive59 said:
SPOILERS FOR ELFEN LIED (no idea how to make the little grey box)
Also I have a question for you about the end of Elfen Lied. Do you think Lucy came back in the end? I am pretty sure it is her at the door, because it would be too unlikely just to be some random woman come to sell bread or something. It was also made pretty clear Lucy cant really die, because she goes through soldiers like a knife through butter, despite losing her other ear, I am pretty sure she survived.
Good question, it is a happy ending in the anime. What happens is...verdant monkai said:Thanks for the suggestion man but I dont think my fragile little mind can take anymore emotionally exhausting anime, at the moment (I am one of the annoying people who cries at the end).

The music box finishes as soon as the figure arrives at the door which signifies that Lucy is dead (she went up to the soldiers and commited suicide essentially because she loved Kouta and he would never forgive her, she throws her arms up ressembling this) she loved that music box and it finishing means she is finally at peace, but the Grandfather clock starts going again, the object that Nyu loved.
This means that Lucy lost her horns and no longer exists and the Nyu personality has full control, you can see this because in the final battle Lucy only has 2 invisible arms instead of 4, as she had already lost 1 horn, losing both means her psychopathic side no longer exists and she is free to live out the rest of her life as Kaede/Nyu with the rest of the main characters.

Hope that cleared things up
Martian Successor Nadesico
Hellsing Ultimate
Death Note
Full Metal Alchemist (probably not brotherhood, but I shouldn't speak since I haven't given it a fair chance yet)
Uhh..
umm..
padding..
Cause I really can't think of any more.
No seriously check out Martian Successor Nadesico, it might be hard to find a good dub so I HIGHLY recommend going and buying the box set. It's honestly the best anime I've ever seen, they balance their piss taking antics of mecha anime with a serious plot so freaking well.

You did not just suggest that, please tell me... Dear god you are a horrible person.Baron von Blitztank said:
With all due respect of course.
As for my suggestions:
Last Exile
Durarara
Broken Blade (6 episodes, each 45 minutes long. Fantasy mecha show, great animation)
King of Thorn (a movie, check out the manga too)
Sword Art Online (ongoing)
Jormungand
Eureka 7 (pronounced Eh-yu-reh-ka)
Eureka 7 AO (Astral Ocean)
Jyu-Oh-Sei
Seirei no Moribito
Chrono Crusade
Code:Breaker
The Tower of Druaga
Fractale
K (that's what it is actually called, ongoing)
Dead Leaves (another movie, just sit back and let your brain melt)
Paranoia Agent
Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo (logic does not exist)
You could also check out some Abridged series like Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, DBZ:Abridged, None Piece, and Code MENT. (I thought the idea of abridging Code Geass was sacrilegious until I saw this)
I don't watch all that much anime, but you if you have any interest in it at all you absolutely must watch Angel Beats, definitely my favorite anime. It manages to be both very emotional and very funny, and it also has good action and a fantastic soundtrack.
