Unsuccessful At Everything

#1 - 2014-06-09 15:56:42 UTC
Ive recently gotten back into anime. Ive recently completed a binge of the following:

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (and the original FullMetal Alchemist) - Loved Brotherhood.. was Ok with the original.

Attack on Titan - OMG loved it. cant wait for 2015 to see season 2.

Sword Art Online - OMFG loved it. cant wait for the sequel.

Soul Eater - enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as the others.

Any recommendations from anime fans out there? Im currently watching Bubblegum Crisis again (watched it years ago but never saw the last half of the series), and im looking to finish watching Neon Genesis Evangelion (if I can ever find a complete set.. I heard the ending was disappointing.. but I want to judge for myself).

Im all good with English subtitles (sometimes its preffered over the terribad English dubbing) if that helps narrow it down.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Samurai Champloo is about the best thing iv seen recently.
watch it with subs, the voice talent is a large part of why i liked it.

One Piece is meant to be very good. There's also the old favourite of Dragonball Z Big smile

Ive watched all of the DragonBall series as well as the movies. Fairly decent.

I tried watching One Piece awhile ago and couldn't get into it (I find this is the case with many anime shows). I may have to give it another try. Sometimes it takes me a few episodes to get into the swing..or to power through some horrible stuff.

Rurouni Kenshin - only watched half of the series and the OVA's. Start with the first OVA Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal as is it sets up the story line for the series pure epic! The second OVA is set during and after the series)

Yu-Yu Hakusho - somewhat childish, but it kept me interested until Adult Swim stopped showing it around the half way point and have never been able to complete the series.

Ergo Proxy - I love this one, well the 5 episodes I watched, and the music is absolutely mesmerizing.

Cowboy Bebop - Animated Firefly imo Bear

Wolf's Rain - excellent series!


The following are probably redundant as they are the Old Guard.]

Trigun

Slayers

Macross

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Berserk

Fist of the North Star

Vampire Hunter D

Ghost in a Shell

Outlaw Star

Ugh! DBZ was atrocious...but that could have something to do with how it was aired on TV. It seemed like they took at least a week and sometimes a month to complete a single fight Ugh

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I like the story line, but they seriously broke it down way to much for airing on television with all those stinking commercials.

I quite enjoyed
- Space Battleship Yamoto 2199
- Macross
- Blood C
- Bubblegum Crisis
- New Dominion Tank Police
- Ghost in the Shell
- Appleseed

if you can find it ... "Legend of the Four Kings" was really good viewing .. though I did miss quite a few of the episodes when C4 showed it several years ago.

Most I know of was already mentioned:

  • Cowboy Bebop
  • Trigun
  • Ghost in the Shell
  • Ergo Proxy
  • Black Lagoon
  • Wolf's rain
  • Hellsing
  • Ouran Highschool Host Club (omg, so funny xD .. and cute)


What else comes to my mind:

  • Saikano (sad)
  • Spice and Wolf (sweet and interesting)
  • Record of Lodoss War (classic fantasy)
  • Steins;Gate (somewhat weird yet intriguing)
  • Baccano! (just watch it)

I remembered another one:

Crest of the Stars/Banner of the Stars

Has sort of an "old school" feel to it. Good sci fi, imo. Has sweet moments as well.

I just watched Kill la Kill and while it's kinda slaps you in the face with the fanservice and fetishy themes, it was actually pretty good with a combination of humor and plot with decent character development. Any fans of FLCL will probably like it. As I recall it was 24 episodes that are all about 25 min in length so you dont get of that "short episode" crap and it's not so super long and drawn out that you'll be watching it for weeks.

What I always tell people to watch:


Space Cobra

Legend of Galactic Heroes

Since everybody and their momma are going to tell you about Battleship Yamato, Trigun, Macross, Gundam etc.

Those gems are my favorites, due to personal reasons, but they are solid choices if you into the genre.

Consider them the less known alternatives to fried chicken.

Might be good , might be bad, but they are not fried chicken, and that´s all that matters sometimes.

Also from my chest of nostalgia:

Golgo 13

Demon City
Vampire Hunter D

Bastard!!!
