Haruhi Suzumiya. Then again, I don't watch a lot of anime, I just read a ton of manga. Black God would have to be the greatest manga of all time though, but the anime adaptation sucks.

It called Gundam. I like bleach as it is one of the best anime series recently, with Gundam 00 coming in first for me. Gotta Love Gundam (they painstakingly drew every frame) .

Durarara happens to be my favourite anime at the moment. All you people and your big fancy swords, insane rulers, girls who don't know they have god powers, and ninjas.

my favs are one piece,Ouran High School Host Club(Subbed),and avatar the last airbender(if you guys consider it a anime)

the reason I don't watch naruto is b/c half of every episode is explaining what happened the episode before and then in the last 5 minutes of the show it progresses 10 minutes from where you left off

Guys. There this thing called the internet, where EVERYTHING is allowed. This may stop games, but not anime and manga.

*head on desk, beating it with right arm*

Why is everyone so overly protective nowadays? What makes it more intolerable is that "virtual" crimes aren't allowed, yet real crimes like rape are still allow to be present.

So they have a problem with children watching a harmless show like Pokemon where Ash and his friend fight against Team Rocket, yet it's okay to see a person be murder in a gritty fashion? The hypocritical nature of his bill makes it especially intolerable.

YouTube - Michael Jackson - Leave Me Alone

Even while The King of Pop is dead, this song speaks for people and in this case, it speaks for us.

I don't think you've read the bill bromide.

tl;dr risque situations specially those involving characters below the age of consent and overly violent scenes are to be toned down or down right removed.

IE: no more of all that moe ****, and unfortunately no more hardcore Berserk but you have to make sacrifices.

oh well at least I have Ippo and Initial D

Just because something is illegal doesn't mean that it will be gone. Look at drugs. They've been illegal for quite some time but they're still everywhere. I'm sure there are plenty of loop holes they can get around.

Anime is very dear to me. A part of my personality, you see. So this is somewhat displeasing news to me.

I'm in some agreement with Mike Hawk though. While I have nothing against moe, the law should drive the anime/manga industry into other, new directions. Unfortunately, the bill limits how far artists can go with their work, so we could actually be losing more creativity by banning these "dangerous" elements from the genre.

As for this whole "think of the children" argument they're pulling off - I don't think they're doing this right. I've always found it strange that children in Japan could watch stuff like Soul Eater and other suspect anime on their television sets, but banning certain themes doesn't seem like the best solution to this. If anything, better regulation and rating systems should be implemented.

At least this won't prohibit my Panty & Stocking finale.

Manga,Anime and gaming companies will probably just move to Kyoto. Thats where Nintendo is.

That's different. You can't maintain a whole company on black Market selling. Drugs are obviously much cheaper to make than video games.

This is stupid, I'm no big anime fan myself, but I know a lot of people are, and must be a massive blow to them.

This has been blown out of proportion guys, it's just like Mike Hawk said. It's only for risqu? situations. So, unless any of you guys are into *cough* Manga/Anime which will have some risqu? scenes *naked girls*, it won't affect you *cough* Oh may I also point out this is for Tokyo only, and the manga/anime which has risqu? scenes will just be put in the adult section. I hope that all the Shonen Jump manga is unaffected though.

However one worrying quote from this article is this:

This topic desperately needs a new title.
The bill in question will only really affect ecchi and harem manga, if anything.

They're not banning anime -_-
They're just limiting the more inappropiate stuff by making the rating higher, forcing the animators to lower it down. And the law only applies to Tokyo

To the Japanese, technically anime porn is anime porn. Hentai and ecchi are western creations.

This isn't about pornography people. It's a morality issue. :/ Just read the bill.

Blame the source. Whoever wrote that article pretty much regurgitated what SankakuComplex posted. This isn't going to ban anime, but the problem lies with the wording of the bill

I mean, this is pretty vague. It all comes down to how this will be interpreted.

They'll just make some new type of cartoon to offset the old type of anime. I don't know why something like anime would be banned unless, is was for religious or sexual content?

If you actually read the bill, it's not as bad as it seems. It's likely to be overturned anyways.

They're on holiday break, actually.
Plus, One Piece and Bleach were leaked earlier today. Others are sure to come.

But the manga industry hasn't been as strong lately.

Utterly an over exaggeration. I just speed read these past 5 pages, and clearly this thread needs a more "reliable" source.

Anime/manga is not leaving man. Relax. I've been monitoring this bill for the past couple months, and you guys needs a solid foundation as to what this bill "really" means.

First you gotta talk straight dude. I can barely make out what you're saying. Anyways...of course publishers are going to be cautious. When handling international material, or any kind for that matter; they have to be a bit hesitant. You need to read the facts before you start freaking out.(oops. to late hehe)

I've enjoyed a few anime, and quite a few manga due to being a brief subscriber to Shonen Jump. When it comes to anime, my all-time favorite is definitely the classic Dragon Ball franchise. My favorite manga is most likely Yu Yu Hakusho.

Unfortunately, I haven't actively been watching or reading any anime or manga in a while

I totally forgot about Spirited Away! Miyazaki films give me such a magical feeling when I watch them, something Disney films could never do for me.

There are plenty of anime that I DO like, I am just not super obsessed about it like the typical anime fan is.

Guren Lagann was pretty cool and I am a huge Ghost in the shell fan.

I've watched and read a lot.

Anyone interested in getting into it should watch Studio Ghibli productions and movies relating to Satoshi Kon (Memories, Perfect Blue, Paprika, etc.). Akira and Appleseed might also be worth watching too. And yeah, I'm aware those are all movies.

Getting into a series is a bit more difficult since the genres and plots are pretty diverse. Most people I know are familiar with shōnen, which would include stuff like Naruto and One Piece. I actually read the "Big 3" since they have their good times. I've always thought of Cowboy Bebop as a nice entry point, since it appeals to Western viewers. It's a great series too.

I'm more of a slice of life person myself, and I absolutely love Yotsuba&!.

I'm reading Naruto,Bleach, and Air Gear. Cowboy Bebop and Claymore are also good ones. As far as movies goes I watched Paprika, Spirit Away, The girl who travels threw time one. I am not as hard core as some people but I'm into it. Just started soul eater and a couple of others.

Yep...been watchin anime since I was a lil kid.(20 now) Toonami? Been there for the rise, and the fall. A lil adult swim here and there. DragonBallKai on the CW? I was there when DBZ was on the "WB". Only recently(since 2005), have I begun watchin sub versions of anime. Its been awesome. I love both subs/dubs. Depends which I find first. No preference.

I'm more of a shounen fan, but I've spread my wings over the past couple of years, and really tapped into more diverse series. Sometimes the best way to find a show is to randomly select one out of those long lists on sites like crunchyroll/toonzaki(keepin it legal).

Top 5 recent anime I've viewed would be...(1=highest, 5=lowest)

1.Gurren Lagann(freakin epic. How it starts...is "sooo....." different from how it
finishes. Only flcl fans can comprehend its epicness
2. Amagami SS: romantic comedy. Good stuff. No long filler eps.
3. Hitman Reborn: love how the series grows. Watch the 1st opening. Then the 6th.
Yeah. You know what I mean.
4. Darker than Black: gritty city life, supernatural powers,mysteries...nothings what it seems.
5. Air Gear: No comment. Gotta see it to believe it.
5. TenJou Tenge: Tied for 5th.
All I got for now. Trying to refrain from long lists. Oh and Beck.

I'm watching anime right now, I watch One Piece, death note, yu yu hakusho, hellsing, inuyasha, and lots more. But another question about anime should be, which is better sub or dub?

Good dubs>Good subs>Bad subs>Bad dubs

Things are always more enjoyable in your native tongue if it's of decent quality.
But when the voice overs are bad, being bad in a different language makes it easier to ignore.

Hikaru no Go
Konjiki no Gash Bell <-- looks like a kids cartoon but its damn good.

I'd have fonder memories of Gash Bell if the Clear Note arc wasn't so rushed.
The Faudo story arc was one of the best damn things I've ever read in a comic.

yeah that last arc went by waaaay too quick, not to mention they had to fall back to "the power of friendship" bull****, I really REALLY hate it when shows do that, Kanchome was overpowered though.

I enjoy Pokemon-- stopped watching it for a while after the VA switch, but now that they have gotten to be bearable again, I'm back to watching it. The movies especially are enjoyable for me.

I watched a little Naruto (subbed) for a while... But then I just stopped. I don't know, I found the show interesting, I suppose, but not really as interesting as everyone was making it out to be at the time.

I used to love Digimon, even more than the Pokemon show. It was practically the only good show I didn't need cable to watch, and I got up early (or stayed up late) to watch it every time it was on. This was back when 4Kids was called the FoxBox, and Digimon was at season 2... The one with Veemon? That was my favorite generation of Digimon.

Oh, and Sonic X! Can't forget that! I really liked those shows, even with all the complainants others made about them.

Does Super Mario Bros. Z count? I love those shows! But I guess they don't really count as anime... I don't think TMNT counts either, does it?

I guess one could call me a casual anime lover. If I enjoy it, I watch it, no matter what the style-- live action, anime, American cartoon, or CG-- I watch what I enjoy, no matter what style or genre it is.

As for Manga... has anyone seen the Zelda manga by Akira Himekawa? They have wonderful art, and the stories are well done.

However... I'm not an anime otaku na no da! I don't even know half of the things people are listing here... (But, admittedly, I might be considered a gēmu otaku by some...) I have two friends who are anime/manga addicts, though, which is how I knew that some things are better seen with subs.

I watch a bit of it. Only when I'm bored though, I ain't hardcore or anything.
My favorites are Azumanga Diaoh, Lucky Star, and FLCL.

Yeah, I've thought of it as Satoshi Kon's weakest, but I found it pretty good overall.

And for manga, I try to follow the this list. I've finished a couple, and they're mostly pretty good.

I have tried Claymore, but I found it too long (yeah even longer than the Big 3) to really catch interest. Monster, GTO, and Battle Royale are probably the most notable ones for me on there. I've also liked Onani Master Kurosawa, though I'm unsure if mentioning it is alright here. And Veritas was a cool manhwa.

Default Can anyone recommend some good Anime?

I've got the fever. Over the past year, I've been slowly switching to Asian media instead of western. Anyway, does anybody recommend some good anime for me to watch? Here's what I've seen, or at least what I remember seeing:

FLCL (dubbed)
Kanokon (subbed)
Luck Star (subbed) *Watching now*

Why would you watch all of Lucky Star when you can just watch the theme song?

Also, I saw Naruto and Bleach listed.

I'd personally avoid those at this point in time simply because they're ongoing series, and because only certain parts of both series are actually good. Same applies to One Piece.

I dunno, try Fullmetal Panic? Darker than Black?



Fullmetal Panic is an action comedy, that I think anyone could enjoy. Its about a 17 year-old military specialist who is assigned to protect a miss Kaname Chidori. Humor breaks out when we discover that the specialist's greatest ordeal is fitting into the high school lifestyle.

After you're done with that watch Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu. I have never laughed so hard in my life. My other recommendations:

Ramen Fighter Miki

Everyone already recommended most everything else on my lists.

Naruto Shippuden is by far the best Anime Ive seen. You should watch the origional Naruto, but stop after episode 200 something. After that the other 200 are fillers.

DBZ is good, and One Piece was ok the few times I've watched it. For some reason I watched an anime called Vampire Knight and it was decent.

I wouldn't say the only good anime series but they are definitely two of my favourites too.

I also like Dragon Ball (and to a lesser extent Dragon Ball GT), Ranma 1/2, Shin Chan and Lucky Star.

I've heard about Clannad. I think I heard about it when I was checking out VNs and came across that one. I didn't play it though because I couldn't find a decently done review about it.

Actually it is way better because it's from the original source of info and also it's the same way in movies it's better to read the book than watch the movie

*lists hentai*

My best suggestion if you like Lucky Star is to check out Azumanga Daioh as well.

DBZ / Naruto are far too long running they drag and waste too much of my life.

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood may be 64 episodes but, a) it follows the Manga (unlike the failure of the first rendition) which has a good well planned story development from start to finish.

Spice and Wolf is also decent if you don't want too far fetched anime, but if you like Lucky Star my guess is you like happy / crazy anyway.

Hayate No Gotoku is a good one if you want general comedy, however this is reference heavy (both in anime world and western culture), so if you have not watched much anime as well, a lot of the jokes may fly over your head.

Shorter Series I Enjoy
Bakemonogatari
The World Only God Knows

One of the top selling in Japan at the moment is Puella Magi Madoka

And one of the ones I think is all time amazing is Kara no Kyoukai. But this has very strong themes including suicide, homicide, rape, etc.

If your after Anime that's fully perverted, forum rules may prohibit me from posting these.

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood may be 64 episodes but, a) it follows the Manga (unlike the failure of the first rendition) which has a good well planned story development from start to finish.

Spice and Wolf is also decent if you don't want too far fetched anime, but if you like Lucky Star my guess is you like happy / crazy anyway.

Hayate No Gotoku is a good one if you want general comedy, however this is reference heavy (both in anime world and western culture), so if you have not watched much anime as well, a lot of the jokes may fly over your head.

Shorter Series I Enjoy
Bakemonogatari
The World Only God Knows

One of the top selling in Japan at the moment is Puella Magi Madoka

And one of the ones I think is all time amazing is Kara no Kyoukai. But this has very strong themes including suicide, homicide, rape, etc.

If your after Anime that's fully perverted, forum rules may prohibit me from posting these.
No Canaan? D:

Haha I'm trying not to list 1000 series XD
Canaan is good if you want an action series. It has some weird obsessiveness in it tho.

Azumanga Daioh, Clannad and Haruhi might be up your alley.
They're not my personal favorites, but if you're enjoying Lucky Star you should probably take a peak at them.

Because you're stating what happens in the climax of the final episode.
Now stop repeating it.

If I was to recommend an anime, I would easily have to say:

Excelsaga or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Both are amazing anime series, and both should not be missed.

Just stay away from the Bible Black.

No, seriously. Stay away. x.x

Nights I don't know if you should be mentioning shows that is pretty much animated porn revolving around sex cults here.

And I dont know why everyone thinks DBZ is good. If you analyze it, its actually very ****. Kai might remove the giant yawn factor but...

DBZ = An enemy shows up, and after screaming in front of each other then having a bit of a bout we realize we are weaker than the enemy so we must train then scream in front of them, try again and then defeat them. Muck around a bit, now another enemy has shown up and after screaming in front of them for ages we realize they are stronger so we get stronger then scream in front of them for ages then defeat them. This happens about like what, 12 times over the course of 250 episodes?

"This world will blow up in 5 minutes", *60 minutes of screaming while facing each other later* "There is only 4.5 minutes left before the world will blow up"
Wait, what?


The only thing it really has going for it is how its one of the first shows most people ever watched.

Exactly, I love dragon ball because it's one of the shows I grew up watching, but it does drag on way too often. Though Dragon Ball Kai is a bit better like you said.

You can simplify almost anything like that to make it seem stupid. I haven't seen Kai but from what i gather it is a shorter censored version for younger audiences, it doesn't really sound very good to me; while there will be less of those 'filler' scenes i would still prefer the original.

If you don't like it then that's your opinion and that's fine but there's no need to insult the series and it's fans by exaggerating and oversimplifying the plot just because you don't personally enjoy it.

I don't know if Kai on DVD / BD is censored tho. Pretty lame if it is.

Yes if you simply anything it can sound dumb, I say this about games all the time, but the problem with DB is that I could just really feel this simplification to a point it bothered me, that it did simply repeated the dragged out cycle too many times. It also escalated too far for its own good imo.

I have watched it and had no problem with the depth during the story progression at the time. But got frustrated with it, and it started to leave a bad after taste.

Thats just me tho, personally I lose interest with series that drag on like this or get "contaminated" by fillers.

I think I'm gonna see Cromartie High School next.

Is the english dub better than the sub? I normally go for subs, but I remember seeing a clip from it and the voices were hilarious.

Ok, I watched 3 episodes of Cromartie High. I didn't like it. It was a little too pointless.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I love those "slice of life" shows, but that was just stupid.

I like the slice of life and romantic combination.

I recommend one piece. Definitely the best shounen anime out there. I tried bleach but it was just fight scenes one after another and if there was any humor, it flew right over my head. Then again, all the guys I know seemed to like it so maybe it's because I'm not into pure violence.

Soul eater was decent but got crappy at around the 3/4 mark. That's because it diverged from the manga and they had to wing the ending.

If you're going to watch FMA, go for brotherhood rather than the earlier version. I didn't watch the anime but I loved and still love the manga. Good series.

As for dbz, I agree with the earlier poster about it being very repetitive. I never actually watched the whole thing because I got bored fast.

The whole Cowboy Bebop has one of main themes multi romances with main character with hottest girls with big boobs. Mega love story.

Trigun has lots of flirting but girls are just so so...

GITS has occasional flirting and few mega implicit sexual scenes. But above all major is one smoking hot babe that kicks ass!

BTW please see my youtube video in this thread...

I just finished watching Bakuman a few weeks ago, and I loved it. Its by the same manga duo that created Death Note, but its not like Death Note at all. Its more like a slice of life mixed with a bit of romance.

Summary --
Bakuman begins with Moritaka Mashiro, a junior high student, leaving his notebook containing a drawing of his crush and classmate Miho Azuki in class. When he notices and returns to the classroom after school, his classmate Akito Takagi is waiting for him with the notebook and tells him that he believes Azuki likes Mashiro too. Mashiro ends up thinking that Takagi also likes Azuki. Takagi then tries to persuade him to become a mangaka (manga artist) and draw the art for the stories he writes. However, Mashiro is reluctant due to his disillusion with modern society and the fate of his uncle, a former serialized mangaka who died from overwork while trying to regain that status.
Later Takagi calls Mashiro telling him that he is going to confess to Azuki, Mashiro runs down to Azuki's house to find Takagi waiting for him. Takagi then calls for Azuki and confesses to her that he and Mashiro are aiming to be mangaka. Mashiro then learns that she wants to be a seiyū (voice actor) and, thinking of the romantic misadventures of his uncle, proposes to Azuki who accepts under the condition that they will only marry after both achieve their dreams. With a goal before him Mashiro sets out to make this dream a reality. His goal is to have Azuki voice the heroine of the anime adaptation of his manga. To have the highest probability for success, he and Takagi vow to become serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump and attempt to create one of the most popular manga in the magazine.


Trust me, if you're looking for slice of life, this is great.

edit: the manga is better of course, but the anime is really enjoyable as well

^ I think its really great. I powered through all 25 episodes in about three days, haha. Although some of the plot twists are a bit weak, it has enough momentum to keep itself going, and it follows the manga pretty well. It also does a pretty good job of explaining how a manga is created and the steps it takes to get it published, which I found really interesting. Anyway, keep watching even if you feel it start to slow down, it'll pick back up again. I think Bakuman is something any manga fan can appreciate. =)

good anime? ohhhh boy~

first off, considering your watching lucky star, I would say azumanga daiho, kind of the same humor, but different.

hetallia is adorable~ but not everyones cup of tea.

black buttler. an amazing anime. simply put. darker but still has its lighthearted moments.

darker than black is very good as well. kind of dark and very interesting plot..

I heard the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya is good.

and lastly, katekyo hitman reborn!!! my own personal favorite~

just a short list of a lot of different genra~ have fun ^_^

No, I do not watch Pokemon, Naruto, or any other Anime show.

I prefer shows with people acting it out. They seem to be more interesting IMO.

considering anime has become synonimous with ****ty "slice of life" bullcrap and high school setting stories I don't blame you, there are however a bunch of good imaginative ones before the "moe" and "slice of life" movement took over for that industry around '07.

try out a couple of the ones I mentioned in this thread, with anime I have a good rule that saves me a lot of time when trying new series

"if by episode 3 you're not into the series you never will be"

Hetalia is pretty funny.
It's about different countries being represented as people.
Warning: There are a lot of stereotypes in it. :P

Tekkonkikreet
Paprika
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away

These are all great (as opposed to most of the BS recommended so far), and they don't require the purchasing of twelve or more DVD's to finish the story.

I started watching Cowboy Bebop and didn't like it. The main issue is I really don't like the older art style. I can barely even watch animes from the 90's.

Just get out of this thread. No one can dislike Cowboy Bebop. NO ONE!

What anime are you into? Is it only the art style that made you dislike Cowboy Bebop?

Mainly the art style. I didn't like the story though to be honest. I'm not into futuristic stuff.

Slice of Life, and Clannad.

Might as well should watch Air and Kanon, since they're very similar. And I've mentioned it before, but Aria is real quality slice of life. Try watching that.



I can't really write a description for it because its well... difficult. Its pretty non-linear as each episode tends to take on a story of its own. And there is no action. Or blood. Or anything extreme. So don't go in expecting that.



Another interesting item is Welcome to the NHK. Its a about a conspiracy nut by the name of Tatsuhiro Satō, and his identity and life.

If you like a series that's kinda mysterious and set in "our world" try "Monster".

Also, if you like people in Robots fighting and a deep engrossing story, try Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Gundam double o) I haven't seen any other Gundam series and liked it and understood the story.

One Piece is also awesome... but WAY too long.

If you want something funny, then try Ranma 1/2. (It's old but funny as hell... well if your between 14-20.)

Gurren Laggan is also awesome, good story and also somewhat similar to Gundam!

My favorites from my list are: Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and Gurren Laggan





P.S. The only Gundam series I ever watched and will watch is Mobile Suit Gundam 00 XD XD XD

P.P.S. I only read the first 10-15 posts so excuse me if I listed something you don't like or someone else listed

This is a pretty nice list. Its nice to see someone post one of Tezuka's most brilliant works, as well as Studio Ghibli's stuff. Kite, in particular, stands out though. Some people consider it hentai, but it doesn't really emphasize on the sex as much as it emphasizes on how Sawa uses her body in a crooked world. Its extremely graphic, and the Director's Cut is banned in some places for its content.

But yeah, Welcome to the NHK is still highly recommended by me.

I apologize.

I don't really take the time to look at each individual post in every thread. Either way, I'd still suggest it.

She, The Ultimate Weapon aka Saikano.

Voices of a Distant Star

My perfect date movie.

No, seriously.

I'll take a look a Sekirei after Kanon then. I took a look at the wikipedia page and it's a romantic comedy, which I love.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, Shin Chan is sooooooo goooooooood. I remember watching that on Adult Swim and I loved it.

Also, the baws of Kanon haven't totally started, but the tears are starting to rise. I hope this Makoto deal doesn't end up bad. T_T

edit: Scratch that. Episode 10 got me.

If "good" wasn't such a subjective term, I'd tell you all that your recommendations are lame.

Did you watch Stiens;Gate yet?
It has science.
