Okay, maybe time for a change of plan. If I just keep adding everyone's recommendations, we're just going to end up listing pretty much everything ever. But I still want to put recs in there. Anyone got an idea for a system we can use to decide what goes up there and what doesn't?

R-15 (could be NSFW, but unfortunately there's a fair amount of censorship that may spoil your viewing pleasure)
Mayo Chiki (it's like a cross between MM!, Maria Holic with the genders reversed, and one more that I can't remember)

Interesting
Kami-sama no Memo-chou (It looks to be potentially an urban version of Gosick)
Kamisama Dolls (*shrug*)
Blade (I've never really read Marvel Comics, so the uniqueness of the setting is enough to pique my interest)

LOLIS
Ryo-Ku-Bu! (yep. Lolis. 'nuff said)

Thanks heaps! I'll check out the ones under interesting for sure. I generally wait until BDs are released for loli/ecchi stuff, for obvious reasons xD

If anyone uses myanimelist, if you like, post your profile in this thread, and I'll put it next to your username in the OP so we can all add each other and be friends and stuff

Also, Austin, banner please?

I loved Death Note! It was the first anime I ever watched
Lots of people compare it to Code Geass (though imo, Death Note is far better)
Paranoia Agent is another good psychological/mystery as well

[EveMassacrisM]

I personally would recommend a manga series called Kana - My lovely Ghost(NSFW). Forgot its name in Japanese but there was too much a story in it that made me shed manly tears - for one that's supposed to be fapping material.

Other than that i also read generic awesomeness like Bleach and so on.

[Cute]

Speaking of manly tears, who can give me recs similair to Kanon/Clannad/Air, Nana, AnoHana, Kimi Ga Nozumu Eien, ef. Anything sad.

Make me bawwww. I dare you.

Warning: Super long post

Here's the list of Anime that I really enjoyed watching, I'm not keeping current with this season's or even last year's stuff but some of these are oldies but goodies.

1. Cowboy Bebop
My favourite anime of ALL time.

Super highly recommended if you're a jazz/blues/bebop type music lover. The soundtrack for this 26 parter with an anime movies made for it is absolutely to die for. There's something like 6 CDs worth of soundtrack for this 1 season anime, which is MAD.

The music is mostly composed by this japanese housewifey looking woman who is otherwise known as 'Yoko Kanno' and honestly some of her work is downright brilliant. She's also written music for other well known animes like the Ghost In The Shell, Gundam series and Escaflowne. They've even done concerts like many years after the anime ended just to play music from the anime, seriously the music following this anime is a phenomenon onto itself.

The storyline is set in the future about this band of kooky intergalactic bounty hunters who have all their lives and stories intertwined somehow, and the lead female is a Singaporean girl who wears yellow hotpants and has purple hair and is called 'Faye Valentine'. The lead male character 'Spike Spiegel' vaguely reminds me of Kakashi from Naruto.

There's a rumour that they're gonna make a live action version of it casting Keanu Reeves as Spike Spiegel (dear god). But I haven't heard an update to that story in quite awhile since last year. This anime is truly legendary, and if you're looking for a classic, this will be it.

Here's the opening theme, its catchy and energetic as hell, say it ain't so?

And the live in concert version of it.

2. Ghost In The Shell
This series has 2 seasons of anime and 2 anime movies and an OVA. I haven't watched the OVA myself but the first 2 seasons and the 2 movies are awesome. This anime gets rather philosophical at times and its all around a great series.

They've got these incredibly cutesy robots called Tachikomas (resurrected as Hachikomas in the 2nd season) that are really awesome and I'd really like a plush toy of someday. Lol.

I haven't got much to say about it apart from the fact that its pretty much alot of science fiction, about cyborgs and androids and artificial intelligence and hackers, but yeah, there's some philosophical bits here and there, which makes it all in all a pretty non kiddy anime which I enjoyed.

3. Romeo X Juliet
I really dig Romeo and Juliet. Like the play by William Shakespeare. And I was never really gonna miss the anime remake of it. It's a complete bastardization of the story, where everything's set in a floating city called Neo-Verona, the characters ride winged horses, and loads of other crap.

But the animation is exceptionally gorgeous. And so is the soundtrack. You judge for yourself.

You Tube

4. Hellsing
This is another one of those short 1 season things. Unfortunately the anime deviates so drastically from the manga towards the end, but still, this anime scores high on my list of favourites for its high level of badassery.

The main character is Alucard aka Dracula. (Lol, right? Seriously, Japanese author dude, you gotta do better). But everything's dark and dingy and you've got this crazy badass bloodthirsty Vampire who wields two guns, one black and one silver and if you're into the whole goth/vampire lore thing, this one's kinda cool.

5. Furi Kuri aka Fooly Cooly aka FLCL

A six episode gem with an 3 entire albums of soundtrack for it by this awesome band called "The Pillows". (Notice a trend here about animes and their soundtracks?)

This super short anime is just some seriously weirdass shit about a Vespa-riding-electric-guitar-wielding-pink-haired alien girl who went around smashing the lead male character on the head with her guitar and as a result lead to him sprouting some seriously badass robots from his head.

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

Just watch it man. Its way awesome. Seriously.

You Tube

6. Gundam 00

There's 2 seasons worth of this incarnation of Gundam as well as a movie. This is the first ever Gundam series that I've watched and its rendered beautifully in 1080p which is great. Its a mecha type anime obviously but there's some real world issues about war and peace and shit, which makes for a really awesome watch and with some rather pensive moments.

The soundtrack for this anime isn't anything too fantastic, but there's still occasional gems like this

You Tube

You Tube

Here's a list of some other anime that I've watched that if I find the time to, I'll write something about them.

1. Naruto (I've given up watching the anime pretty early oncos it stopped being that awesome sometime after the Chounin exam)

One of Naruto's ending themes

You Tube

2. Bleach (same issue as Naruto, given up on the anime and just reading the manga)

One of Bleach's ending themes

You Tube

3. Initial D (not really fantastic, but cars are awesome, so)
4. Nodame Cantabile
5. Afro Samurai - this one is rather short and I remember it was pretty cool because Samuel L Jackson (yes, the BAMF himself) was doing some of the voice-acting, so yeah. This one was wayyy cool.

Quick Comments

	EveJeonSa:	holy shit
	Cute:	awesome post! we have completely different tastes, but awesome none the less!
	nirvAnA:	so good!
	SkyBreaker:	for the effort <3

[jason]

Must watch :
- k-on (extremely fun to watch!)
- high school of the dead!!!! (zombies + action + porn!)

[mustapusta]

Needs more non-mainstream crappy 1000 episodes long and still not finished anime/mangas.
Recommendations from me.

Animes :
Puella magi Madoka Magica (It even has it's own wiki http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Madoka_Kaname)
Gosick (Think, detective novels and romance and action mashed into one)
Katanagatari (Hour long episodes that was broadcasted only ONCE a month. 12 episodes, very good)
Hanasaku Iroha (a girl's life about working at a country side inn)
Akagi ( The story of the man who descended into darkness as the mahjong genius)
Toradora ( because Rie is voicing Taiga)
Hokuto no Ken ( Manly tears)
Gurren Lagann ( Manly tears and spirals piercing the heavens)

Manga :
Kaiji (Life of a troubled gambler who faces many obstacles)

Visual Novel :
Higurashi/Umineko no naku koro ni (Horror, Suspense, Mystery, Fantasy. will read again)

(Having brain farts after watchoing so many years of anime, will add on more when i remember more)

[dippa]

manga recommendations fail (because there aren't enough of them)

obvious troll is obvious:

naruto
bleach

(turns out stories are good when you don't have fillers every 3 months, who'd thought ^.?)

read or i will murder you for being stupid:

liar game (actually 2g)
ghost in the shell (the anime is awesome for a reason: the source material is sick)
kurosagi (not complete, but every chapter is well worth it)
hellsing (does this need an explanation?)

highly recommended:

mx0 (complete series involving magic and some cool out-of-the-box thinking: if you enjoy liar game you'll find it very difficult not to enjoy this)

it's interesting:

claymore (uh, vampires that aren't vampires with swords ... still good though)
neon genesis evangelion (i actually think its awesome, but it can be ******* hard as balls to follow sometimes, so i'll slot it down here for practicality)

there's plenty of others, but yeah, read more manga because anime is generally shit, kgo

[SkyBreaker]

Awesome thread! I'll definitely be taking a few recommendations and having something other than Day9 to watch when I'm heading to bed As for my own recommendations, I'm not sure what category they fall into (never been entirely sure on the difference between anime/manga) however here they are, in no particular order:

Evangelion: Neon Genesis

+ [Picture] +

Ninja Scroll

+ [Picture] +

Akira

+ [Picture] +

I've always planned on watching Cowboy Bebop but I always put it off for some reason, should really get around to it!

anime = video
manga = hand-drawn comics (see mangareader.net)

(thats a super simplified version, but you get the drill)

Best anime. Best soundtrack.

They also scrapped the plans for the live action version, FYI. Anyone who hasn't watched this yet is just silly.

2. Ghost In The Shell

I only saw the start of SAC and thought it was rather painful. I've been told the other series are much better, but haven't gotten around to them yet.

4. Hellsing

The original hellsing or the more recent OVAs? I loved the original because it just felt so cool (the music was good, everything was drawn rather dark...). It just had this great atmosphere. The new one felt so shallow in comparison, yet seems much more popular (it's technically a lot better, it's just not as cool).


And someone mentioned gurren lagann... why do people like this show? I understand it's supposed to be a parody of the standard fighting style anime and just goes wayy over the top for that effect, but I never managed to get into it. It seems just as lame as the things it's trying to parody for me. (On the other hand, I thought Yakitate! Japan was quite funny... Parodying fighting animes by having all of the battles be bread-making competitions.)


Other things not mentioned yet:
1. Baccano - This show is just so random and needs to be watched at least twice in order to actually get some of what's going on. There are so many different bits of story intermingled here. It's really quite funny, though. Durarara is also good by the same people (and features cameos by some of the characters from Baccano).

2. Darker than Black - More music by Yoko Kanno (for anyone silly enough to not know, she did the music from Cowboy Bebop) and this anime is similarly (but not as) cool.

3. Higurashi no naku koro ni - I loved the first season of this. After that it sort of drags on. It does better at creating suspense (the music, sound effects, the way the characters interact) than most big budget western movies I've seen that seem to think just because it's a horror movie that if nothing whatsoever is happening the audience will automatically be in suspense.

4. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Can be a little hard to follow at times, since a lot of the jokes are related to japanese language/culture, but most of them are explained well enough (without feeling like it's having to go out of it's way to explain them or anything) or just still relevant here that I thought it was one of the funniest things I'd watched for a long time.

First thing I thought when I watched the first few episodes of that was that damn it looks good. It's very well drawn, and a pretty good anime.

Not quite one of my favourites, but very good.
