movies/tv I'm Becoming An Anime Fan!

[PonyFunk 155]

More and more, I want to find out what awesome anime series are out there.

 

I'm mainly looking for a series with an awesome plot and developed, memorable characters.

 

So far I've watched Elfen Lied which was wonderful! Now I'm watching Toradora and FMA:BH, which are both awesome in their own way.

 

Please tell me some more anime like these, so I can start watching them. Also tell me if those series can be found on YT or elsewhere.

Watch 'Spice and Wolf'

 

If you're looking for memorable characters, this is the show.

 

Unfortunately, it's only 2 seasons, but the light novel series goes on much longer.

[Banul 3,831]

I'm not that into anime, but the ones I like that you haven't mentioned are:

 

Gurren Lagaan

Attack on Titan

Space Dandy

Sword Art Online

[Proton 564]

Please don't forget Code Geass. Best anime I've watched.

[AveryGamerDude 4,640]

Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z are pretty awesome. If you like epic battles, watch Dragon Ball Z. But if you like cute girls battling crazed villains, go for Sailor Moon.

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,328]

Well, I'm not an anime watcher but I will say out of some of the anime I've seen recently I would recommend Death Note, Space Dandy, and Attack on Titan.

[Teen Buscemi 135]

Cow boy be-bop is EPIC! But I also recommend Sgt.Frog for some adorable pony-esque chibi stuff

[RainbowPastel 185]

I was an anime fan before I was a brony, more specifically FullMetal Alchemist. lol I remember writing a journal on deviantART like this about how I was becoming a pony fan when I first watched, like, 11 episodes.

[Radiance64 7,051]

(First off, you should check out Crunchyroll, it's free(though you'll have to deal with a lot of ads that way) and official, pretty much a Youtube of anime)

As for what you should check out... Gurren Lagann, Attack on Titan, JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, Madoka Magica, Death Note, and Kill la Kill are all really great imo and should have what you're looking for.

[dsharp105 126]

For the sake of mentioning series that don't often get mentioned, check out Darker than Black and Mushishi. Both are available on Hulu for free.

 

DTB is action- and story-driven. It has fantastic music and tells a complex, thought-provoking tale very well. It does get to be a bit much at times, but hey, it's still top 2 for me for what it's worth.

 

Mushishi is unlike any other anime I've ever seen. It's completely episodic (no overarching series plot), and is almost exclusively devoted to art rather than action. I't so beautifully done, a relaxing and lighthearted treat among more serious and/or zany shows in the genre. Again, top 2.

 

If FMA:Brotherhood appeals, I'd say go watch the original too. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I enjoyed the original more than Brotherhood (not to start any wars).

 

Whatever you watch, enjoy! Glad to share my experience

As @Radiance64 said, you should checkout Crunchyroll.com (http://www.crunchyroll.com). It's a fairly decent place with a lot of animes to watch.

 

Anyways, my anime recommendations consists of these:

• Nichijou (This is the most funniest anime I've ever seen; I can guarantee you that you'll laugh!)
• Watamote
• Sailor Moon
• Shugo Chara
• Neon Genesis
• Kill la Kill
• Dangan Ronpa: The Animation
• Yuru Yuri

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

Some personal anime recommendations of mine are 

• Puella Magi Madoka Magica
• Welcome to the NHK
• Black Butler
• Black Lagoon
• Death Note
• Code Geass
• Watamote
• Eden of the East

Congrats on becoming an anime fan. There are tons of great shows out there for you to enjoy, and there are even conventions for anime as well. Have fun!

[Digit 321]

That sir is an overloaded question my dear watson. There are so many fantastic animes out there it would be impossible to list them all. What ill do is give you some to get you started.

 

As you watched elfen leid you clearly are not squemish so i recommend

 

A group of people are resurrected from their deaths by a mysterious black ball called GANTZ to combat alien criminals hiding on Earth.

Warning:Gantz is very very graphic in both sexuality, nudity, gore and violence. Watch at own discretion.

 

Next up is an arc anime in other terms it s a longer multi season anime not as long as one piece or naruto so easier to jump into.

HunterxHunter

 

Gon Freecss is a young boy living on Whale Island. He learns from "Hunter" Kite, that his father, whom he was told was dead, is still alive somewhere as a top "Hunter," risking his life to seek unknown items, such as hidden treasures, curiosa, exotic living creatures, etc. Gon decides to become a professional Hunter and leaves the island. To become a Hunter, he must pass the Hunter Examination, where he meets and befriends three other applicants: Kurapika, Leorio and Killua. Can Gon pass this formidable hurdle, the Hunter Examination, to become "the Best Hunter in the World" and eventually meet his father?

 

And last as to not overload

overload a classic and a persoanl faviorte. If you like cyberpunk space pirates and renagades withexplosions great charatcer dynamic and amzing plot i recommend

 

 

Outlaw Star opens on the backwater planet Sentinel III, on which the protagonist Gene Starwind and his 11-year-old business associate James "Jim" Hawking run a small jack-of-all-trades business.[5] After the two take a job as bodyguards for a disguised Hilda and engage in a brief skirmish with the Kei Pirates, Gene and Jim find themselves the owners of the XGP15A-II (which they nickname the "Outlaw Star") and the caretakers of Melfina.[1] Hilda reveals that the ship's true purpose is to locate the "Galactic Leyline"

 

If you want more animes i can tell you just friend me and shoot me a message any time. Also check out www.crunchyroll.com they get all the up to date stuff mere minutes after it air in japan. They offer a free service but their viewer ships go to the ratings board in japan and help fund the animes they air. Enjoy

I'll take a potato chip...

The entire death note is on netflix streaming as are many other great shows.

 

A quike list of non pirate sites

Netflix

Hulu

Crunchroll

Funimation

Amazon prime

[Unikitty 1,211]

Cowboy Bebop and everything by Studio Ghibli. Also Clannad(bring tissues and a friend to cry on).

Oh and I highly recommend watching Fullmetal Alchemist(original), before going on to Brotherhood. It's significantly more detailed on the first half of the events of Brotherhood.

[cuteycindyhoney 13,282]

Let me see now. Here are a few of my favorites in no particular order.

 

Saint Tail

Sailor Moon

Cardcaptor Sakura

Lucky Star

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Major Motoko Kusanagi is one of the coolest characters in anime!)

Martian Successor Nadesico

R.O.D. the TV

Excel Saga (Very funny series. You'll laugh your lungs out!)

[PonyFunk 155]

So far after looking at each synopsis, I'll try these...

 

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai

Amagami SS

Bokura wa Minna Kawaiso

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Denpa Teki no Kanojo

Steins;Gate

Spice and Wolf

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Sword Art Online

Code Geass

Kill la Kill

Mushishi

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou

NHK ni Youkoso!

Higashi no Eden

Serial Experiments Lain

[Ribbonfree 2,382]

Pleaserino no Sword Art Onlineierno tho

 

Nah, but that looks like an excellent watching list, mate. If you're gonna watch Boku wa Tomodachi tho (and tell us who you think best girl is, eh?) I'd also recommend you take a look at Nisekoi. Same basic premise (harem anime) but wildly different in execution. And why is Puella Magi Madoka not on that list?!

Watch the Persona 4 Anime. It was pretty good.
