Welcome to Gaia! ::

So what I'd like is to watch some anime, and I'd like you to suggest some for me to look into. I prefer my anime how prefer my processed meats, filler free. Waiting for one episode a week drives me up the wall, so I'm also looking for complete seasons, nothing ongoing, though in the past exceptions have been made. I prefer dubbed just for the convenience of not having to read constantly, but subbed is fine if it piques my interest enough. ninja

So if you're bored suggest some anime, or just discuss some anime, I'm up for most things, and everyone else is free to jump into any discussions or recommendations. Just don't troll, one persons favorite might be another persons dislike, and that's fine, if everyone was the same we'd be no better than sheep... With their unnecessarily fluffy coats, emotionless square eyes, and that bit of grass they always seem to be chewing. I suddenly think I don't care for sheep. neutral




This is by no means all the anime I've seen, just a few from the top of my head. I just wanted people to have a general cross-section so they know what kind of things I enjoy. Also, before you ask, YES I like Bleach and Naruto, but I've pretty much stuck to the manga for those two because the mass filler makes me rage. I don't really read other manga, but I'm not above trying one either if you suggest one. I guess that's all I have to say for now, I hope people respond. xp

I had already heard of and have been considering Shiki and Ghost hunt. Now that they've been endorsed I should give em a shot. Umineko I had not heard of, with a quick look it seems interesting. They're all going into my to be watched list, good suggestions. 3nodding

I understand why people dislike dubs, but they really are more convenient for me. I know some things just translate over poorly though, I was extremely disappointed with the Gurren Lagann dub for example, I can't stand to watch it unless it's in Japanese. I feel like they do a decent enough job on a lot of them. sweatdrop

Should I put suggestions I like up in my first post? Might be better than notepad, then people would be able to see what's already been suggested easily, and I could cross them off as I complete them. I think I just convinced myself. confused

I forgot, but I have one already. xp

Needs a lot of updating, haven't touched it since 2010 apparently. rofl

Done, somebody is full of good ideas eh? xd

I can tell from your list. Almost 500 entries is impressive. rofl

Here's my suggestions. I didn't bother reading your list. mad

Movies:
Akira, Kite, Princess Mononoke

Action/Drama:
Wolf's Rain, Ergo Proxy, Samurai Champloo, Gankutsuo, Durarara, Planetes

Oldies But Goodies:
Cowboy Bebop, Blue Gender, 008th MS Team (a gundam series)

Guilty Pleasures:
Tenchi Muyo!, School Rumble

008th was kind of like Gundam meets Vietnam War. There technically weren't any Gundams in it at all, it was a little more about the common soldier. Really great ending too.

Gankutsuo is basically a scifi version of The Count of Monte Cristo. Very cool, but it's more of a drama than anything. The art is really interesting in it, as well.

Yeah, there were three main Tenchi shows, each set in different universes. I really liked the first two, but the third really kind of let me down.

Planetes is a really interesting show about a crew of astronauts in the not-too-far future whose job is to clean up space debris in Earth's orbit. Basically all the clutter we've thrown up there starts to interfere with space development. Strictly a drama, but I watched a lot of it in a kind of marathon, and really liked it.

Ergo Proxy is really cool. If you watch the first episode and don't love it, well... That'd be really lame. sad It's scifi with a really dark vibe to it throughout the show, and the art and action is really well done. Sort of peters out in the middle a little bit, but ends well.

I'm still recommending Durarara, even though it might not be your thing. It's got a big cast of characters, which I like, and aside from being a little bit of a mishmash of stereotypes, it's a pretty fun show. I enjoyed it thoroughly, even if the end was cut a little short and felt like the show should have kept going for a while.

I second the following since I've watched them myself: Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Durarara!!(And adding in Baccano! since it's from the same creators)) and I enjoy all Hayao Mizaki movies, so yeah Princess Mononoke too o3o
