You guys should seriously check out this anime called Mirai Nikki aka Future Diary. If you have not already seen it that is...

Mirai Nikki sounds kind of like a psychological thriller, a genre which I wholly like.

 

Thanks, man! I have some new material over the weekend now!

[PyRE4243 51]

Soul eater, yugioh, pokemon, Bleach, One piece, Fairytale, the list goes on. I love anime a lot although I haven't seen much of it recently.

Cardcaptor Sakura, Strawberry Marshmallow, Digimon, Azumangah Daioh and Koi Kaze rule the world. I also like more offbeat anime where the English dubs actually surpassed the originals, like Desert Punk and Samurai Pizza Cats.

Whaaaaat? you prefer the original FMA series? I preferred Brotherhood much more

Animes which really stood out for me:

Kuroshitsuji

Durarara!!

Code Geass

Gurren Lagann

REBORN!

No.6

Steins;Gate

Lucky Star

 

Those would be my favourite series

[RBDash 176]

Anime I've watched:

Skakugan no Shana

Angel Beats!

 

Anime I've watched but don't particularly like Neon Genesis Evangelion and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and I've also tried to start watching Rosario + Vampire, but I couldn't bear through the first episode.

 

I'm also planning to watch Fullmetal Alchemist, Hetalia (should be easy, they're just 5 minutes), Code Geass, and Gundam Wing. I might start watching Karin and Highschool of the Dead, but I'm not too sure about that.

 

 

Anyone got another anime I could watch? Preferably one that's on Netflix.

[Radiance64 7,053]

Yeah, actually. Dragon Ball Z is pretty awesome, a true classic. I also watched old school Pokemon and Yugioh back in the day, got some nostalgia for those I guess. I've also seen some of Full Metal Alchemist and Naruto, FMA seemed ok but I never really liked Naruto. Recently I've been getting into Soul Eater, really falling in love with that one, I'm about halfway through the series I believe.

[Zeruis 53]

Death Note's awesome. I liked FMA:Brotherhood then the original 2003 series. Another anime I really enjoyed was Eden of the East. I highly recommend it.

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

You all make me look like an amateur. Not so hard to do, honestly. I've only watched a few things in their entirety, most of them your standard fare:

• DBZ
• Sailor Moon
• Trigun
• Outlaw Star
• Durarara
• Bleach (but I also read the manga)
• Fooly Cooly (hated it, just throwing that out there)
• Hakuouki
• Samurai 7
• A few episodes of Samurai Champloo.

Samurai 7 is by far my favorite. I haven't bothered buying DVDs or anything for most of the anime I've watched, but I had to get the Blu-Ray set of Samurai 7.

 

 

That's just series though. As for movies I've seen all of the Miyazaki stuff, all movies related to the above series, and Steamboy.

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

I pick most of the Anime i watch from the Anime News Network website, mostly i only watch the highly rated series' and that's worked out pretty well for me.

 

Steins;Gate

Code Geass

AnoHana

Deathnote

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Death Note

 

That's pretty much the best of what I've watched even though most of them are very well known. Steins;Gate is the definite stand out for me. I used to only watch Naruto but it got a little boring so i mainly only read the manga now.

[Kirby L Kll 3]

i started watching anime thanks to animes such as sailor moon and pokemon and digimon then i graduated up to becomeing a inuyasha fan girl but when that series ended i started watching bleach and im still a huge bleach fan, i adore ichigo and rukia and i even have won cosplay awards for looking jest like rukia ^0^

 

im a huge anime fan ^0^ im currently into inuyasha the final act, full metal pannic, ouran highschool host club, and tsubassa, but my absolute fave anime would have to be bleach due to its length in anime air time and also the fact that i have won several awards for cosplaying as rukia kuchiki at anime conventions ^0^

[Whiteshade 1,426]

I'm rewatching Ao No Exorcist at the moment. Damn is it good. Basically, all you need to know for that anime is: Mephisto Pheles. Win.

[PonyKorra 35]

I just started watching anime like a couple weeks ago since my friends are really into it and so far I'm on like episode 13 of Fruit Basket. I'm really enjoying it!

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

My favorite anime shows are Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, Future Diary, Kare Kano, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Rurouni Kenshin, Death Note, Hellsing, Ouran High School Host Club, and Yu Yu Hakusho,

[tanoshii 131]

I just finished Madoka Magica. Most misleading first two episodes ever. It starts off nice, but degrades into something depressing and quite sad, after only two episodes. It's quite dark in theme, despite the whole 'magical girls in dresses' image. Nonetheless, the story was brilliant, the soundtrack was amazing and I really liked the art style too. Gonna get this on Blu-ray when it's released.

[kirbyboi 588]

I planning on reading more manga (and possibly watching their anime) but for now I love these manga:

 

~Pokemon manga (all regions, Black/White is good, but it's too bad they're so short )

~Naruto

~Full Metal Alchemist

~Kimi Ni Todoke

 

So far that's all. Hopefully I'll read more.

[My Little Mandy 838]

Any xXxHolic fans here? I'm asking because I posted my first drawing of Yuko from

that anime series on Deviantart. How does it look?

[khaine21x3 789]

I never liked anime that are created for western audiences, I prefer ones made for the japanese market.

Dokuro Chan

Kore wa zombie desu ka

[Whiteshade 1,426]

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.

 

Watched the 1st episode so far. My impression? This shit is SO FUCKED UP. Think cupcakes, but instead of ponies its anime. Definitely watching till the end. Interesting storyline and good setting.

Madoka Magica is really one of my favourites, if not the MOST favourite of mine. Really, things just get even more "fucked up", later on. The real stuff begins after the halfway point, really; just like a ton of other seinen anime/manga.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

I'm sad. There are 217 replies to this topic and only one of them mentions Yu Yu Hakusho. Come on guys! If you haven't seen it, you're missing out on the true potential of anime. It's the same style as Dragon Ball Z only:

It has Kurama,

the attacks don't last seven episodes to charge,

it has Kurama,

It has a MUCH way of adding drama and suspense into their fights to where you don't even know if the main characters will win (sometimes they actually don't),

it has Kurama,

the animation uses shadows in the most beautiful way possible,

it has Kurama,

they incorporate gore, but not too much of it,

it has Kurama,

It is really good at messing with your emotions (IE Kurama vs. Bakken and the entire Chapter Black Saga)

and it has Kurama.

[LightRaider 148]

I'm just going to say that i love Cowboy Bebop, and i'm not going to go further, because i could be here all night writing.

I've heard really good things about Bacanno, so i'll probably end up staying up all night watching the entire thing.

I also enjoyed what i saw of Elemental Gelade.

[Burning Desire 11]

I highly highly recommend Princess Tutu. It is my favorite anime, and it is breathtaking. The story is magnificent, the characters are great, the animation is beautiful, the art is cute. The musical score, is probably the best use of soundtrack music I have ever heard. Most of the music is ballet and concert music from the Romantic period (1800s) with a bit from the 18th and 20th Centuries too, and it is used beautifully, perfectly scoring the events of the story. I can't recommend it enough. It is a great work of contemporary art ^^
