S1&2 are definitely the best, S3 (Tamers) was cool, after that i gave up, i remember trying to get back into it for data squad bu it was bad IMO.
I Re-watched Digimon Adventure 1&2 a few months back, and still loved it, there no way they can top those 2 in the same franchise,
The only reason i bothered to check out xros wars was because someone linked This in the TL Anime Thread (Its looked weird, but it piqued my curiousity)
.
Xros wars is kinda cool. The animation is really nice and it seems like a decent story (i think theres 2 or 3 seasons of it now?) i'm only 10 eps in but its decent, and it has a few nice nods towards the older series, so far its good,

Did anyone play Digimon World on ps1? 2nd fave game ever. (Behind FFX)

I did see an anime movie ''Paprika'' which I recommend to anyone also.

Could anyone recommend more serious anime to me?

Most of the population unfortunately relates anime with shounen like Pokemon, DBZ, Naruto and more recently, all those ecchi and harem anime, which leaves some great serious anime in the dark.
Some I would recommend are: Darker than Black, Kara no Kyoukai, Mushishi, Grave of the Fireflies, Requiem for the Phantom and Welcome to the NHK.
If you want to try some shounen that are a bit more serious than the popular ones, there are: Deadman Wonderland, Blood+, Full Metal Alchemist, Gundam 00 and Beck.

Serious in what sense? Like gritty and dark?

Pretty much but I would say I was less interested in it because I wasn't aware of what it had to offer. Also for recommendations something deep and compelling would do the trick. Oh and btw I have to finish watching Death Note.. got to love ''L''

Cute · Wed, 28th-Mar-2012, 12:43 PM

Try Kara no Kyoukai. I guess you'd say it's a supernatural/psychological thriller, with mystery elements. Kinda like Death Note I guess, though a lot more graphic. The artwork is fantastic too

this thread

As for the anime you've mentioned, yeah all of it is pretty mainstream imo. I suggest finding a currently airing series that is being translated and watch that, hopefully it broadens your tastes. That said some people (mostly /a/) say that there hasn't been any good shows recently.

And if you look back in this thread there are links to some of our anime lists

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/dekayd Here's mine

thanks for the advice, i know that most of the anime i watch is mainstream, but i still love it, i guess that makes me an "anime noob" if that's possible, i recently got the first 300 episodes of one piece, so maybe if i have some time after it, or if i get bored during i'll give something on that list a go, time to bookmark yet another site

My MAL is like a year out of date, I'm going to put aside an hour or so later on this week into just going back through everything I've watched lately and updating it. Gonna be a biaaaatch

MazEi · Wed, 28th-Mar-2012, 11:31 PM

I've stopped caring about trying to update any list of mine. Sigh, this season's animes are in their double digit episodes, gonna end soon =( Hope next season is promising.

faithHunter · Thu, 29th-Mar-2012, 2:04 AM

I've been watching Persona 4 the Animation out of boredom lately, now I'm searching for some other good anime series to watch. Preferably an anime which plot doesn't include the main character dying right off the bat. Highschool DxD counts as one.

Nichijou is just da shit. Season 2 of Oreimo is probably gonna be just the same as the first season unless I missed something. Angel Beats almost made me shed man tears at the end =')

I've shed many a mantear myself.

MazEi · Sat, 7th-Apr-2012, 12:18 PM

Just finished Ano Natsu de Matteru, and this just falls into the category of things that causes me to shed tears(not man tears anymore, just pure tears). Not sure why though, but I just felt so sad for everyone but happy at how it all ended up. Great show to me, great show.

With that, any jokes I made about this being Onegai Teacher, I retract them =)
