Suggestions for anime

[Vek]

Neon Genesis Evangelion is still the best anime I've watched to this day.

Also, check out the movie 'Jin-Roh'.

Seconding Jin-Roh, and motioning for Akira, Steamboy, 8-Man After, Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, Patlabor series of movies, Ninja Scroll the movie, and AD Police, which I think are all good animes.

And can't forget any of the Guyver series.

Memories

A feature by Katsuhiro Otomo. Watch it. It's good, really, really good.

I saw that recently, well at least the last 2 movies. Really like Cannon Fodder.

You didn't see the first movie, Magnetic Rose?

You should really try and find that one, because it's easily the best of all three. Seeing that movie will remind you why the late 90's were the golden age of anime. It is absolutely beautiful.

Though, I have to say that Stink Bomb was pretty freaking good to.

I'm planning on watching it, and Stink Bomb was great, with a real funny ending.

 

[Avatar Roku]

Code Geass. Now. Seriously, it's a great anime that, depending on who you ask, may or may not have gone downhill in the second season, but it's still fantastic.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Dam Most of you guys are saying what I would say.

Ah well I'll add a few more choices to your list.

D-Gray man

Code Geass

Gurren Laggan

Lucky Star

Ghost Stories, (It's really funny.)

The Mechanoly Of Haruhi Suzumiya

Shakugan No Shana.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water

Another very good old fashion anime. It's by the same guy he made Neon Genesis Evangelion and the seeds that would one day become Asuka are already very visable in Nadia.

I swear, that guy has some woman issues.

 

[x0ny]

I don't watch anime, but my chinese friends cannot stfu about Naruto

 

[SebZero]

Code Geass.

Death Note.

Welcome to the NHK.

Eureka Seven (Like Neon Genesis Evangelion, but not emo).

 

[son_of_khorne]

Outlaw Star
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Hellsing
Gilgamesh

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Death Notes a good high quality place to start.

For something light hearted, try Ranma 1/2.

Am I the only one who thought Death Note was really boring after a certain part... you know what I'm talking about.

No, that's how most of the fanbase feels.

I mean, don't get me wrong, Up until that point, I though it was fucking brilliant. Near and Mello are just really uninteresting characters.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Darker then black
School days...on second thought DON'T.

Gurren lagaan...G gudam and...Fist of the North star.

 

[Syntax Error]

Because I am. Or am I?

 

[Syntax Error]

It's not that Near and Mello are uninteresting...

Spoiler

They were just not half as interesting as L.

Cowboy Beebop
Berserk
Claymore
Samurai Champloo
Ranma 1/2

Movie: Sword of the Stranger

I watched Sword of the Stranger, and it was AWESOME. Some wasted plot though.

And I wouldn't recommend Berserk the anime, because it ends in disappointment, while the manga doles out awesome page by page.

Agreed,

Spoiler

L was one of the most interesting characters in an anime ever, the battle between Light and L was brilliant... then thathad to happen.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Azumanga Daioh and Haruhi-chan Suzumiya because you watched K-On (slice of life). Probably Potemayo as well.

Shakugan No Shana and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (not your average magical girl show) if you want some action.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

Cowboy Beebop
Berserk
Claymore
Samurai Champloo
Ranma 1/2

Movie: Sword of the Stranger

i thought on almost the same! you have good taste btw!

 

[twaddle]

code geass
noin
ghost in the shell stand alone complex and the follow up series 2nd GU
i know some people may hate me for saying this but i believe that "avatar: the last air bender" was good and should count as an anime

 

[Jaranja]

Wolf's Rain (my top favorite!)
Ouran High School Host Club
Death Note
Fruits Basket (very cute but the manga's better)
Inukami
Devil May Cry (yes, there is an anime)
Elfen Lied

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Extremely good list. Check out Code Geass, Utawarerumono, Arjuna and Hellsing.

 

[WayOutThere]

one popular suggestion ive had has been Deathnote.

That show is da hizzle.

It is a shame, however, by the time you get to about episode 15, you've seen the best the show has to offer.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

I watched Sword of the Stranger, and it was AWESOME. Some wasted plot though.

That's because BONES are monsters, and anything they touch turns to gold. That had some of the best fight scenes I've seen in an anime in recent times (Naruto takes it for me).

Anywho...

Noir

Gundam Wing

Baccano!

Trigun

You know what, screw the list because otherwise it'll lose itself in the sea of existing ones.

Noir is my series recommendation. It's a great anime with a captivating soundtrack and a great story.

Perfect Blue is my movie recommendation. It's a twisted tale that I can't say much about, except that it's definitely worth watching and you won't regret it.

i know some people may hate me for saying this but i believe that "avatar: the last air bender" was good and should count as an anime

It just doesn't get enough love. It's a great anime series that others should watch.
