Recommend me some anime

mp3guy

Just wondering can I get some recommendations for some good anime to watch. I've seen a few, liked some, found others very boring.

Liked;
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Elfen Lied
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away

Didn't like;
Rurouni Kenshin
Naruto

Alright;
Akira
Ghost In The Shell
Howl's Moving Castle


So based on these could some people make some recommendations? Thanks.

garthv

Cowboy Bebop.

Saruwatari

Paranoia Agent, Paprika, and Memories, all of which are easy enough to locate.

Dubit10

ok

dubit10, just wondering why you are replying "ok," since you didn't start this thread?

that aside, there seems to be one of these threads every 5/6 weeks and the same stuff is mentioned every time, i know i am guilty of starting one (although that was for series that were currently showing in japan.)
should there be a sticky for this maybe?

mp3guy

Yeah, I was thinking there should be some sort of recommendations thread, with movies/series sorted under what genre they are and maybe a "for fans of..." thing.

Art_Wolf

Well I dont know - I think it will simply turn into titles grouped by genre

sme

you're probably right

Just recently got around to watching full metal alchemist,its really good,you should give it a try

WadeTalon

Cowboy bebop is great, 3x3 eys is also a classic, Full metal alchemist is good, both the Vampire hunter D movies also good, if ye want something mental try Excel saga.

Samurai Champloo is excellent. Im old school so I love the likes of Lensman, fist of the North star(movie not series), Odin, Venus Wars (absolutely brillant one of the best anime movies ever made in my opinion).

Perfect Blue. Ghost in the shell Stand alone complex this series is also brilliant follows the manga very well for most of the series (most folk call it G.I.T.S. S.A.C)

if you like Genshiken then you'll love this perverted as hell (with no reason for some of it) but so funny

Yuugib

Aw just finished watching Death Note, deffinetely will recommend to everybody

For now started to watch "Midori no hibi" - quite wierd but looks pretty nice

Also can recommend the following :

Air Gear
Shaman King
Fushigi Yuugi - for romantic blocks
Wolfs rain - my fav
Ouran high school - kind of nice
Trinity blood - deadly!
5 centimeters per second - very nice, relaxing and touching
Fruit basket - cute
Perfect girl evolution - not very serious but kind of funny
Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora - tragic love

Moneymaker

Black Lagoon
Slayers
Full Metal Panic
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Read or Die
Cowboy Bebop
Gungrave
Initial D
Full Metal Alchemist

thats all i can think of for now.

Cully

2 anime's based on your "likes" are... Keroro Gunsou, and Dr Slump.

Most of the ones I've seen above are ones that are similar to the ones you said you don't like (eg... more violence based like naruto or whatever)

eziite

Fruit Basket - some romance & fun
Ouran Host Club - some romance & very funny
Lucky Star - school anime, funny
Bleach - no fun, but good story

Absolutely loving it!!! :):D

I'm sure youre not the only one but I think a lot of people hide the fact because of peer pressure. Its a bit like saying you hate the Beatles when your trying to join a rock band .

*BOOM* Headshot.

You hate Akira? That's a pretty strong word. I don't know how anyone could hate something with that high an animation quality, especially the first half.

For example, I really really don't like Ghost in the Shell. Always turn it off with a 'meh' about half way. I can still appreciate the level of quality to the animation and the cinematography though. Certainly wouldn't hate it.

To be honest, I reserve all my hate for The Beatles.

I hate the animation. The sound quality was poor. The chase scenes were below par. Bah all around.
