Recommend Anime

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Comedy- Azumanga Daioh or Fruits Basket
Action- Ninja Scroll, Berserk, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, or Samurai Champloo
Pure Unadulterated Violence- Amon: The Apocalypse Of Devilman
Drama- Princess Mononoke, Death Note, or Cowboy Bebop
Giant Robot- Gundam Wing( Neon Genesis Evangelion maybe be a bit too....weird.)
Romance- Fruits Basket(Honestly I'm not good with recommending romance series since I don't watch many)

 

[Worgen]

the fact that I dont see azumanga diaoh here, proves that no one here would know good anime if it ran up, grabbed your house keys and threw them into the woods on impulse

I mentioned it on the second page. And Azumanga Daioh isn't for everyone. Some people would probably find it really boring.

curses, foiled by skimming

Death Note -only watch the first season every thing after that sucked.

Seasons? There are only 36 episodes. I liked the ending even though I did root for the other guy.

Ok let me rephrase that then. after they introduced Misa it went down hill for me. Have you ever rooted for a person to die that much well I sure as hell did. She came so close to dieing so many times but never did.

Haha, she appears in the 3/12 in the manga so that would be a swift kill for you. She's obnoxious, she's a model but not even that pretty, and I like her. Why I like her is a bit difficult to explain. The reason why I like Misa is because this is how a fan girl would react around Light. I like seeing Light shrug her off. My interpretation is that the the show's giving them and all the entertainment that wants to create a love interest side plot a giant middle finger. The show could have used a better character but as far as comic relief goes, I think she's alright. I hope that makes sense.

Gurren Lagann. The Funimation version of One Piece. Seriously. Not the horrible 4Kids version.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the difference?

Well, in the 4Kids version they have ridiculous edits. They cut two entire story arcs. One of which basically explains how the Strawhat Pirates find a special compass that allows them to navigate through the crazy One Piece world.
They remove deaths necessary for character development.
They edit guns to look like supersoakers.
They cut out all blood and fight scenes are heavily edited. One that comes to mind is Luffy's battle with Don Krieg. In the original version, Krieg fires poison darts at Luffy. They edited it to make it "poison suction cups." How someone can be poisoned by suction cups is beyond me. For a shonen series that pretty much castrates it, since shonen basically means awesome fighting.
Inappropriate music at inappropriate times.
Horrible voice acting and dialogue.
Changing personalities of characters to make them funnier.
That was a bit of a rant. There are videos on youtube detailing the difference between the two versions.
Basically the Funimation version leaves everything intact.

She came so close to dieing so many times but never did. I called is a different season because they had a different intro once I stopped watching.

I think that might have been the point. Light only wanted to use her to accomplish his own goals. He didn't really care about her.

I thought she was just there for comic-relief. Also, why did they have to go and make a death metal theme song?

Gurren Lagann.
Hellsing Ultimate.
Death Note.
Dragon Ball Z.
Yu Yu Hakusho.
The Funimation version of One Piece. Seriously. Not the horrible 4Kids version.

I second every single one of these, especially Yu Yu Hakusho. The only one I can't recommend is the last one, but that is only because I haven't seen it, and as such, cannot form an opinion on it.

Excellent. Another Yu Yu Hakusho fan.
Yeah, if you ever do get a chance to watch the good version of One Piece I would recommend that you do. It used to be on Toonami, but we all know how that turned out.

 

[PirateKing]

I highly recommend One Piece. It's full of action, interesting characters, and it's funny!

I second this as long as it's the Funimation version.

As per my contract, signed with ink mixed from my own blood and the tears I shed at volumes 6, 10, and 12, I must strongly recommend the Fruits Basket manga over the anime.

...so, how 'bout them Knicks?

 

[Ignatius87]

I'm glad someone already mentioned Mushi-shi, that's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this. It's definitely not your typical anime, which is a good thing.

 

[zeroharpuia]

Higurashi no naku koro ni, WATCH IT. Then fear the rabid lolis for the rest of your life.

 

[Sparrow]

FMA. Fo' sure.

Depending on your taste, you might like Death Note or Bleach, but you should definately try out Cowboy Bepop. Tis' a bitchin' show.

 

[ward.]

Maria holic and sora kake girl are the only must see anime produced this season.

 

[RheynbowDash]

Cowboy Bebop is really good, in my opinion.

QFT.

[ElderScribe]

Probably already been said, but eh..

Akira-Very long and a bit long-winded, but very good.

Ghost in the Shell-just flat out good.

 

[ae86gamer]

neon genesis evangelion, love hina, please teacher, bleach, death note, beck, paranoia agent, gundam wing, initial d, wangan midnight, trigun, FLCL, Rurouni Kenshin, tenjou tenge, chobits and there are more but thats all I can think of right now.

 

[AssassinX66]

Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach, Inuyasha, Death Note, and Cowboy Bebop. Those are the ones I recommend to you.

edit: Damn I forgot Trigun and FLCL

 

[Railgun88]

blood+

That or Wolfs Rain.

 

[Aschenkatza]

Jigoku Shoujo, aka Hell Girl, is really addicting to watch. Has some really sensitive episode subjects though.
Elfien Lied is Beautifully gory. Tad nudity, not for the feint of heart.
D.Grey-Man is definitely one of the best animes I've seen. I haven't seen it in awhile but I want too =P
Soul Eater is hilarious and serious at the same time. Just a perfect blend really.
Blood+ is another really good anime.

Edit: Also, it's best to watch any anime with the real Japanese voices. American voice actors tend to screw up the voices. Though every once in a blue moon, they do well.

Yes, thank the lord they're in control now and not... *Shudder* 4Kids.

Also, for those of you unfamiliar with the 4Kids dub, check out this guy's videos:

They're the worst of the worst, which is not to say that's ALL that's bad with the 4Kids version. FUNimation is fixing some of this stuff, but...
