Kay, well its hard, I mean I just love The World God Only Knows, but Gosick was kinda cool as well. Oh woops, didn't see Anohana. Well I think it have to be something like 1st Anohana, tied 2nd TWGOK and Gosick, tied Hanasaku Iroha and Mayo Chiki for third.

No Madoka love?
But yes, Anohana was fantastic. And I've been meaning to catch up with Hanasaku Iroha, that was really good too

[Nobunaga]

I thought Madoka was pretty overrated tbh.

Then again, I liked Infinite Stratos so my opinion doesn't count for much LOL.

Madoka is one of those shows which I just thought, heh, not gonna watch that, then suddenly everyone goes like 'Madoka Madoka Madoka' which makes you think hey why not just watch it anyways. I'll get around to it.

Well IS was nice with the range of characters(Houki's mine ) but it was just another series to me.

[Nobunaga]

IS could've done well with more episodes, but these 13 episode series are safer for light novels. Anime is running out of ideas =S

Hi Guys,

I also have a dark secret and secretly love anime, however I've not watched more than one or two seasons in the past 3 - 4 years so my memory/recommendations are probably old.

I had a quick skim over the thread so I'll try mention things not noted where possible, I haven't actually ever read manga except to try work out why Hunter X Hunter stopped where it did.

1. Monster - I saw someone mention it but mention nothing about it, this would be probably my all time favourite anime for it's kind, it's about a young boy who is injured and the doctor who saves his life. It's rather involved and I don't really know how to describe it without giving any of it away, I guess it's more about the doctor trying to find the boy after he disappears and the things he uncovers and sacrifices on that journey.

I highly recommend anyone who is a fan of things such as Code Geass or Death Note, the not so gory, mindgames/story based stuff to check it out, though it's not quite like those I'm not sure what to compare it too.

2. Hunter X Hunter, I saw this mentioned also, but too good to pass up, I believe this to be a really well thought out series with a unique set of bad guys and good guys, and the magic system employed in the series is quite clever also, the character development is quite evident and the fight scenes are quite witty and powerful.

3. Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust - Think blade, only cool, half human half vampire, who everyone hates but has unique abilities. a few plot twists and this is rather entertaining movie, slightly darker theme I guess.

4. Ergo Proxy - A futuristic anime styled around a civilisation that has become somewhat deadend emotionally due to strict control everything and everyone, A young woman who seems somewhat immune or just bored by the system stumbles upon some things investigating a murder that show some more true colours of past and future of the city.

5. Rahxephon - This anime though seems extremely similar to Neon Genesis Evangellion, is actually unique enough to be entertaining, follows a similar storyline about a boy who is drafted to pilot a mech, but unlike Shinji he is a bit more outgoing.

I have seen many more but nothing too stand-out in my mind at the second, things like Gun X Sword, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Rurouni Kenshin, Ninja Scroll, Berserk, Basilisk, Samurai Deeper Kyo from the older stuff, more recently, Darker Than Black, (+ the two sequel seasons/prequel seasons). Code Geass(more notably R2(second season)) Death Note, Get Backers, Tenjou Tenje, Ghost in the Shell, + movies and sequel series. Chrono Crusade, Wolfs Rain, Hellsing, Akira, Grave of the Fireflies, Blood: the last vampire and Blood+ series.

I guess thats a general run-down of the styles I like if someone can perhaps make some recommendations of anything fitting from the last 3-4 years it would be appreciated,

Also for Sci Fi, I vote Cowboy Bebop. that soundtrack is pretty fantastic.

And I guess I should mention I enjoyed Nodame Cantabile and Beck even though they aren't really my style.

Read. Read.

I went and checked out Air after you mentioned this but... that ending. Holy shit. :|

I've been watching some oldschool Anime like Cowboy Bebop, Hellsing and Trigun lately just so I can appreciate the classics. Other than that I've started watching through Yuru Yuri, which is incredibly light-hearted and funny. It's slice of life so there's no storyline, but it's definintely something to cheer you up ^_^

Yeah, Air is like Kanon and Clannad, just it doesn't have a happy ending :P

Is anyone else tensed up with how Subaru just doesn't have the guts to tell him straight?(Mayo Chiki btw)

[Nobunaga]

It's the usual "main character is dense" kind of deal which culminates into awesome schoolgirl Subaru.

[Nobunaga]

Fate zerooooooooooooooo

[Uglymutt]

Nice update to the OP, now I've got even more to watch :S

[Nobunaga]

DELICIOUS GIRL SUBARU AND UNCENSORED BLU-RAY RIPS

Yes!

[MazEi]

What are you saying Nobunaga?

*checks nyaatorrents*

OMG DL-ING NAO. And what uncensored BD rips?

[Nobunaga]

The episodes are censored (such as the fantasy scenes in episode 2 where they talk about licking). The DVD/Bluray releases aren't.
