movies/tv Looking for anime recommendations

[Discordian 6,015]

Here's a couple that kinda match up to what you've said:

 

Ah My Goddess

Azumanga Daioh

Fruits Basket

 

I've never seen Another so I can't really recommend based on that though.

 

But there's three anime I'll recommend regardless of genre:

 

Darker Than Black

Utewarerumono

Blassreiter

May I be the first to recommend Death Note? I watched the first episode and loved it! Need to get back to watching it though.

[Armin 168]

Oh, and Soul Eater. Maybe Sword Art Online and Attack on Titan too.

I would have to recommend Fruits Basket! Sure, there are only a little over 20 episodes, but they are AMAZING. Trust me with this.... I would recommend it to anyone 13+!

[Virgil 685]

Two words: Princess Tutu, your emotions watching it will range from to to and finally to ..... Alright, it's kinda tough to describe. ... Internet Meme Explain For Me!

[Midnight Dragon 264]

I'm not sure what exactly you're into...but if you like the creepy and the confusing, watch a sub of Higurashi no naku koro ni (there's a dub of the first season, but the acting is atrocious -_-). And then you can watch the second season, Higurashi Kai, which begins answering the questions that were presented in the first season (Season 1 is more horror, and Season 2 is more thriller, but personally I love 'em both)

[Virgil 685]

Oh, due to my excessive fanboying over a certain show    ; I forgot to mention; if you haven't seen a Hayao Miyazaki movie, you should try to ASAP. But make sure to watch the Japanese version first, Disney has a habit of doing bad English dubs (like "add dialogue that alters the story" bad ).

The cream of the crop would be Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. Either would be fantastic, although my personal favorite of his that he really only did the Screenplay for, would be Whisper of the Heart ( ).

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Madoka Magica

Aw, I was going to offer that...

-------------------------------------------------------

 

I would recommend Kill la Kill: a very strange, hilarious, yet also epic and exciting series that may not at first make sense but begins to once you learn the series came about because the author observed that the Japanese manner of pronouncing "fascism" is nearly the same as the word "fashion", as well as that the pronunciation of the Japanese words "school uniform" and "conquest" are identical. Also the 'Kiru' in the title Kiru ra Kiru/Kill la Kill may mean "kill", "to cut", or "to wear".

 

Essentially he drew this together to make a series about a girl, who has lost he father and uses a uniform of his creation to fight those at the heavily fascist/militant school where a students status was dictated by the uniform they wear. The higher the star level the stronger it would make the student. Also did I mention her uniform can talk and has a personality? Lastly there a woman of fashion design trying to rule the world for reason not at first known and a twist ending that is both terrifying and “this is crazy but awesome’.

 

I had fun watching it

 

A word of warning, when the main character and another character ‘transform’ for battle it creates for them the skimpiest outfit imaginable, which is played out for amusement and laughs. Fanservice and later interesting use of nudity/not nudity is used for humor as well.

Here's a bit of a weird one: Gregory horror show. It's a sort of dark comedy/Horror. It's more psychological, than anything else. So if you're into that it's pretty cool.

 

 It's very odd. The entire thing is CGI, and most of it is shown from a first person perspective. There are 25 episodes in the first two seasons each, and each episode is only 2 minutes, 27 seconds. You can even find the whole thing on youtube.

 

 It's not your usual anime, but watching the first few episodes to see if you like it won't hurt.

[Flutter_Guy_Dash 35]

OMG, I just watched Fruits Basket episode one and it was amazing! Im totally watching another episode.

[TheSupremeLeaderOfChaos 1,205]

Bleach

Fairy Tail

Soul Eater

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

I'm going to recommend Eden of the East, and Welcome to the NHK. These are two of my all time favorite anime.

 

Welcome to the NHK is a great look at the subcultures of Japan. It deals with a Hikkikomori, which is basically somebody who never wants to leave their house. I really wasn't expecting a whole lot when I put in episode 1 on netflix, but I ended up watching the entire show in a day or two. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed an anime this much. It's realistic, dramatic, and funny. 

 

Eden of the East. I don't have time to explain it right now since I have to go to school, but I suggest you give this show a chance. It's a decent anime.

[Tetris 115]

Attack on titan and Yi-Gi-Oh 5ds!

 

Loved them!

[Sigma 768]

My older sister and I watched Spirited Away when I was little.

[Shanks 10,816]

One Piece: great action, interesting and colorful cast of character with their own unique goals, hopes and dreams. And no shortage of adventure, you never know what will happen next in this pirate anime.

 

Dragon Ball/Z/GT: Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z are viewed as timeless classics for good reason. Plenty of action and a great sense of humor they have influenced countless anime including One Piece, Naruto, Bleach and many others. Dragon Ball GT is not quite as good but I don't think deserves a lot of the hate it gets.

 

Death Note: A very interesting thriller anime where this shinigami (grim reaper) drops this book called a death note on earth which can kill anyone whose name is entered into it because he got bored one day. This one human under the alias Kira uses the death note to kill anyone who deems to be a bad person and the detective L has to find out who he is so he can stop him. It brings up a lot of philosophical issues about justice, revenge and whether or not the ends justify the means. 

 

Gundam Wing: If you are going to watch any sci fi anime I think this one is the best one. The Gundam franchise has many different series but this is the best of them all.

[Lagom 204]

Attack on Titan has been mentioned, but I would still greatly recommend it. I don't know if you're still in for watching movies, but almost every Hayao Miyazaki movie that has been made where Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky and How'ls Moving Castle are really good but any movie from him or Studio Ghibli.

[Magical Anarchy 177]

Nurarihyon No Mago

Fruits Basket (it is shojo anime, but it is badass)

Inuyasha

Black Butler is awesome

 

Just never watch Buso Renkin...*shudders*

[Lankman 86]

Hi, I have started to get into anime, Like I have started watching Naruto and DBZ, but I Think there are more than this, so any good anime out there.

 

 

Edit:I made two topics on accident, sorry about that.

I accidentally made two topics with the same name by hitting the post button twice.

Try Space Dandy. It's a parody of anime itself as a whole.

Very awesome.

 

 

I think you should also stick with old animoos. Those are usually legendary, and for good reason.

I recommend the Wild-West-In-Space action anime Cowboy Bebop (made by the guys who las made Space Dandy, btw).

Big O is another great one. It's basically ,Batman with a giant robot.
