Someone recommend me a good anime

[Fawful]

I recently finished watching a show called Angelic Layer, it's basicly Beyblade but not horrible and has mind-control battle robots/dolls instead of spinning tops (infinitely more awesome!) It is a bit of a girly-girl anime though, mainly due to most of the cast being female which may be a turn off, but the cool fight scenes make up for it.

If your after something more adult maybe Afro Samurai is more your thing, I'm not really a fan, just throwing it out there.

EDIT: Forgot about Cowboy Bebop, watch Cowboy Bebop!

s-CRY-ed, Ruroni Kenshin, any Gundam series, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Gunsmith Cats, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, Elfen Lied, all the .hack series, Madlax, Noir and Demashita Powerpuff Girls Z.
Those are all the anime I can think of off the top of my head, all good and some you've probably already seen or at least heard of already.

Alright, just a quick question. ".hack" is that show about a virtual world right? Cartoon Network used to play it WAAAAAAAAAAY back correct? Because if that's what it is then I'm definitely up for that.

 

[JemothSkarii]

Gurren Lagaan is good if you like over the top action and comedy, and the art style is interesting

Code Geass. Especially if you like Deathnote. It's like Deatnote with a healthy dose of Gundam thrown in.

I entirely agree with this, I even watched Code Geass RIGHT after I finished DeathNote and was looking for something new. They both go a bit crazy towards the end of the second season though...

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

This is what the entry in Tvtropes "Beyond the impossible" was named for. SO over the top and awesome! Robots! Explosions! Hot chicks! Woooooo!

 

[JdaS]

Kino's Journey, Samurai Champloo, Bakemonogatari, FLCL, Baccano!

There's some stuff I've enjoyed lately.

Yep, also check out the movie .hack//GU Trilogy, it's pretty awesome. Also check out this site for everything related to .hack since I can't remember everything right now. .hack Wiki. [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/.hack//Wiki]

 

[Dan Steele]

Trigun
Tengen Toppa-Guren Lagan
Naruto
Bleach
Elfen Lied

 

[Dimwit]

Seconding Fullmetal Alchemist. Watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood after the original Fullmetal Alchemist.

Also, Code Geass is quite good, if you have a small interest in mecha

 

[mazeut]

Try Black Lagoon or maybe High school of the Dead. Hellsing was mentioned earlier, got to second that one, good show.

 

[WorldCritic]

Trigun
Code Geass
Bleach
Fullmetal Alchemist
Full Metal Panic
I want to recommend Hellsing, but Seras might be a little too annoying.

Yes it's another one of these threads. Anyway, I recently discovered this show called Gantz and it looks really good so I'm going to be checking that out. Anyway, does anyone else know of good anime shows that have a decent amount of violence?

I'm also going to check out Deathnote when I get my fat ass up off the couch.

Elfen Lied

Black Lagoon

Darker than Black

Berserk

Witchblade

Hellsing along with Hellsing Ultimate

Preferred genre, kudasai?

Well he wants violence like in Gantz.

So violent anime im guessing.

Sports - Eyeshield 21

Ah I love Eyeshield I wish football was really like that

 

[SmileyBat]

I'll start with the disclaimer that I'm no that into anime. Most of it is mind-numbing garbage, but 90% of anything is pretty darn bad. At any rate, some quality shows I've seen that happen to be from Japan include Wolf's Rain, Cowboy Bebop and Ruroni Kenshin.

 

[OrokuSaki]

Gantz was AMAZING until the filler ending...... I'm not spoiling it, just saying there IS an ongoing manga and the ending to the show is filler. You might also like Black Lagoon and Darker Than Black.

 

[lighto]

I'll just list my entire anime folder here.

Azumanga Daioh
Cowboy Bebop
D Grayman
Fairy Tail
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
hack-SIGN
Hellsing
Lucky Star
Mnemosyne
Rozen Maiden
Soul Eater
Wolf and Spice

 

[dashiz94]

Yeah, I probably should have clarified that. Anyway is Ultimate Hellsing really that good? That's the show about the one vampire named Alucard who hunts other vampires right?

Ultimate Hellsing really is that good.

I assume you're over 18 years old. Otherwise you shouldn't watch some of this. I suggest you steer away from Kenshin, Bleach and Outlaw star. Childrens' shows that are tied to the shounen format too much. I also hear great things about a series called "Souten Kouro" but have not been able to find it.

16, but it's all the same. Violence and/or sex doesn't bother me. In other words, I love a show like Gantz.

And I will definitely check out Ultimate Hellsing. Did you see the TeamFourStar parody of it? It's absolutely hilarious.

Gantz was AMAZING until the filler ending...... I'm not spoiling it, just saying there IS an ongoing manga and the ending to the show is filler. You might also like Black Lagoon and Darker Than Black.

Yeah, I've heard negative things about the ending, but from what I've watched of it it's pretty damn awesome. (About halfway through the show)

Well it wasn't HORRIBLE, but it clearly was made up at the last minute to fill the quota of 24 episodes.

I think Monster is a good series. It's a sober affair, but I find it to be very interesting. I'm not one for cutesy anime, so it suits me.

Edit- I'd also recommend the following:

FLCL
Paranoia Agent
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note
Samurai Champloo
Elfen Lied (if you can tolerate the cutesy half and the completely forgettable support characters--it has very gratifying action sequences)
