Damn, so many animes such little free time. Nikki has gotten me into yet another anime, Inuyasha. I didn't like it at first but its grown on me. Im on Ep. 25 so no unwrapped spoilers ;D
I've seen these animes so far:
Any suggestions for additions to my list?
- Bleach
- Dragon Ball Z
- Death Note
- Pokemon (it counts)
- both FMA's
- Naruto (yes even Shippuden)
- Inuyasha
- Vampire Hunter D
- I totally forgot about having seen Fooly Cooly
Inuyasha is worse than DBZ when it comes to dragging out the bull:bou::bou::bou::bou:.
If you want the really chewy stuff, go for Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Paranoia Agent, and Elfen Lied. But from your list I don't know if you would like those or not.
But if you ever do watch Lied, get the subs and not the dubbed for chrissake.
full metal panic all three series
escaflowne
neon genesis evangelion
outlaw star
classics
Wolf's Rain is an absolute must see! I reckon Elfen Lied too but be warned its very graphic to put it mildly! Very powerful story though.
That list makes me feel gross inside. Inuyasha? Eww. May as well watch Rurouni Kenshin too, then.
Looking at the list of anime you have seen, I would recommend you Trigun and FLCL.
Yeah... Me too (about the gross thing). I've refused to watch most of those. All that popular mainstream stuff with no real meat on its bones. The only thing in that list that's a little outside the box is D, but that's really not one of the best old skool animes (is it the original, or Bloodlines?)Quote:

My favorites are always the old romantic comedies everyone seems to hate these days. Ranma 1/2, Tenchi Muyo/Universe, and Love Hina. But if you want something with depth and raw meat I highly suggest Blood+. Black Cat is definitely one of my favorite animes too. But not too many people would be able to find it, and I don't know what types actually get into it. But there's my two cents :]
Good luck, and I hope your pallet for anime grows a bit :P
You list is missing funny!
Excel Saga! Do it! Watch it now!
And Galaxy Angel!
And The Slayers!
And why isn't One Piece on your list. Way, waaaaaaay better than Bleach and Naruto.
Also seconding Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Panic, Black Cat, Trigun, and FLCL.
These are my personal favorites (with wikipedia links!):Quote:

Trigun and Samurai Champloo are the most similar to the ones you have on your own list, though.

Mandatory viewing.
*is very tempted to spoil Inuyasha (actually, give me one good reason why I shouldn't :mad2:)*
Anyway:
Eureka Seven
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Neon Genesis Evangelion + End of Evangelion
5 Centimeters Per Second
Cardcaptor Sakura (for the love of god, not the English dub though)
Kiki's Delivery Service
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
Kara no Kyoukai 1-6 (7 isn't available just yet)
Nodame Cantabile
Ouran High School Host Club
Tokyo Marble Chocolate
Detroit Metal City
Eden of the East
There should be enough variety there to keep you busy for a while.
Oooh, I second Eden of the East. That was neat.
I've watched (bolding the ones I really like nowadays) these. I'll just throw everything that I can remember that I've watched at you, to see if there's anything that strikes your fancy.
Azumanga Daioh (my favorite anime, personally)
DBZ
Dragonball
Digimon (this was my life when I was in elementary school)
Pokemon
Tenchi Muyo (dude, I was obsessed with this when I was younger)
Rurouni Kenshin (hahahahaha, another one I liked when I was like 11)
Detective Conan (oooold)
Card Captor Sakura (I loved this one so hard when I was pretty young, I had to have been about 8 or 9)
Sailor Moon (watching this again!)
Lucky Star
Ichigo Mashimaru
Ouran High School Host Club (aaalmost right up there with Azumanga)
Hetalia Axis Power (super recommend this one)
5 Centimeters Per Second (hi-5 jussy!)
Princess Mononoke (I did not like it)
Spirited Away
I'm kind of embarassed, I've watched waaaaay more anime than I thought, definitely when I was younger for certain. I can say that I never watched Inuyasha frequently, though. Even my 11 year old self was like "hahahah wtf" at that. But I was all over DBZ since I was only a little one.
Sailor Moon was my first anime. I remember crying on the way to get an operation on my ear when I was 5 or 6 because I was going to miss my daily dose of Sailor Moon goodness. xD
The anime adaptation of Valkyria Chronicles is worth a watch!
I was gonna suggest Ichigo Mashimaro, but a lot of people tend to not like it if they're into mostly shounen stuff and whatnot, so I left it out. Normally I would, since it's one of my very favorites.Quote:

Avoid the foo foo ones though. They are foo foo and boring... and foo foo.
You shouldn't admit you're even able to spoil Inuyasha.Quote:

Death Note, on the other hand... :mad2:
FLCL was very good. But then I haven't seen much anime at all so I'm sure others have a much broader selection to suggest.
One anime, a manga and three movies? (One being a spinoff) When you have that much press, it's sad you don't know more about it.Quote:

Yeah... so your excusing watching a popular anime because you watched... anime. You know it's all your own fault :/
How is not watching one series while being occupied with many others justify being spoiled on one that I was planning to watch in the near future? It hasn't even been out that long.
It's been out since 2006. so those 100 series/ovas or whatever you've been watching, you couldn't manage to squeeze in one series that was easily accessible. SOOO your fault.
Inuyasha isn't too bad; it can be very cute at times. I enjoy it, myself! Inuyasha manga drove me crazy, though - especially after the anime ended.
I recommend Cowboy Bebop.
My god, you're really going to keep pushing this? I'm sorry I can't watch everything I want to see all at once, but it still doesn't justify spoilers for it in the least! How would you like it if someone spoiled Battlestar Galactica for you or whatever it is you're watching now? It's only been around since 2004, after all.Quote:

Definitely.Quote:

Watch out for that Will! All these animes people are recommending, well not all but most, have been around for a bit so there are bound to be spoilers. That's just what happens with popular things. Be careful of the Evangelion ones.
Also yes watch trigun :D
watch it.
Isn't the rule here that anything less than 5 years old should be spoilertagged?Quote:

Are you *snip*? How does some random anime, regardless of quality having multiple iterations give it any more priority than others when it comes to the press? How does ANY medium fall under that category? It's not impossible to be able to avoid spoilers for anything, especially when you try hard enough to do it. I'm so sorry that you think that Death Note is God's gift to humanity, and that you have to fangirl-cream yourself for it. Get over yourself. If Momiji has really tried hard enough to avoid spoilers for something that's only been out for three years, it's not sad at all. Maybe he wants to see just how good it is for himself without the need for someone to tell him every single detail or hint of symbolism.Quote:

I could just as easily give you another animu or mango with greater popularity, and still somehow have avoided spoilers until I watched the animu for myself. Guess what? They're older than Death Note. If anything, I find it sad that you put Death Note at the top of your tier list, not that most of the people here have quality tastes in animu.
My suggestion:
Boku no Pico
It's not. Roffle waffle. Get off your animu white horse darling. It's just a popular series. I would have said the same thing if he was complaining about something like harry potter being spoiled. Obviously you overlooked the part, when you came charging in, that it was a "popularity=spoilers"
But that's ok. I'll forgive you Tavy. You don't mean to jump to insults about animu, it's just in your nature to be grumpy .
It's no more popular than Gurren Lagaan or Code Geass, but I still have yet to see any major spoilers for those two series outside of /a/ or Wikipedia.
Are you being daft or intentionally dense? You completely missed what I said about being able to avoid spoilers if you tried hard enough, regardless of popularity. The basis of your argument is that Death Note somehow has some kind of media priority over other shows, something which you levied against Momiji. Inexplicable, to say the least, because there's far more popular animu in the world, but of course, you wouldn't bother to watch any of them.
Tavrobel: Please refrain from calling people retarded.
Freya: Please do not retaliate. Instead just simply use the warn and leave it at that.
I forgot a really good one. You should watch Queen's Blade! And you should watch it in a big room with everyone you've ever known. Their opinions will surely change of you. :D
(SPOILER)Stealth ploy to get everyone to stop arguing at each other is go!
(SPOILER)Seriously don't watch Queen's Blade of your own free will. It's pretty bad.
I like Inu Shaya.
You need some real classics. So I'll add some old school stuff with a few more recent titles.
Galaxy Express 999
Captain Herlock (there is a awesome recent series to this)
Tokyo Babylon (Japanese please, the english dub is pretty bad)
Chobits
X/1999 (Watch the anime or movies but please read the manga as its the best version despite not being finished)
Haibane Renmei
Voices of a Distant Star
Robot Carnival
Casshan
3x3 Eyes
Bubblegum Crisis
Dominion Tank Police
Ranma 1/2
Maison Ikkoku
Kare Kano (anime is okay, manga is better)
Witch Hunter Robin
Wolf's Rain
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (the original OVA is awesome, the rest of the series are good except Tenchi in Tokyo which should be avoided at all cost, definetly watch the movies though)
Green Legend Ran
Phantom Quest Corps
Jubei Chan
El Hazard
Ah! My Goddess
Video Girl Ai
Irresponsible Captain Tylor
Monster
Black Lagoon
Metropolis
Karas
Azumonga Daioh
Big O
Anything by Hayao Miyizaki and Satoshi Kon and of course...
http://img.animecentral.ge/acdb/imag...ai_Macross.jpg
Super Dimensional Fortress Macross
Also watch the movie Macross: Do You Remember Love? and Macross Plus
Now get to work on your anime homework :colbert:
I'm watching Macross right now and liking it quite a bit. :D
Holy shizz. A ton of anime from my generation (I've seen almost all those). I love you Kanno. Thanks for the memories xD Forgot all about El Hazard.... I think I'll go download that now
Oh my, anime fight!
Not yet, but more because I really just have no time between other shows I want to get through with Hux (Babylon 5, I've become such a nerd! :cry:) since Ichigo Mashimaro didn't strike him. I'll finish it soon!Quote:

Patlabor
Ah! My Goddess
Moldiver
Azumanga Daioh
Gunbuster
I think that someone who likes Azumanga Daioh would like Ichigo Mashimaro, too! Ichigo Mashimaro isn't a typical loli show: it's cute, but it has good humor, and the strawberry girls don't look or act like generic anime girls.
You're welcome Vyk ;)Quote:

Despite saying that just now, I would recommend you check out Dragon Ball Kai.
The charm was just lost on you, green! Ichigo Mashimaro doesn't have the in-your-face or cued comedy that I think of when I remember most anime I've seen - like Azumanga Daioh. I guess it's more perceptive, since the girls always look normal and do boring, realistic things. Very simplistic show.
Still, it's a small leap from Azumanga Daioh to Ichigo Mashimaro. Both are about cute, funny girls being girls. And a pedo.
LoL I doubt anyone these days would be very into Moldiver. Even back then it was just an amusing distraction. I loved it. But there's not much meat to it. Just a goof-around superhero thing. Though that reminds me. Anyone that enjoys crazy random animes and superhero/mecha spoofs would probably enjoy Project A-ko, if they could get over how old it looks :] Alas, a lot of old animes need to be remastered like Miyazaki's marvelous collectionQuote:

They never tend to be like the coming of Christ the way people tend to rave. Probably why I don't watch much newer anime. Everyone creams over everything these days
Oh! My Goddess is really good btw, probably want to watch it with the lady though :]
Haha I apologize for the earlier spoil Momiji, very sorry :DQuote:

That, and Barasui has a sense of humor I have yet to see from anyone else, which is considerably more prominent in the manga.Quote:

WHAT :Eek:Quote:

I agree that anything by Miyazaki is usually pretty good. :D
I would also say Sailor Moon, but I have a feeling that it is not your kind of show! :S
So here's a list I think you might enjoy:
Amatsuki
Baccano!
Chrno Crusade
Code Geass
Cowboy Bebop
Elfen Lied
Escaflowne
Eva
Fate Stay/Night
Full Metal Panic!
Ga-Rei -Zero-
Gankutsuou

Kaze no Stigma
Kekkaishi
Kyou Kara Maoh!
Lovely Complex
Mobile Suit Gundam 00

Natsume Yuujinchou
Ouran High School Host Club
RahXephon (totally not an Eva rip-off)
Rental Magica
Shounen Onmyouji
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

I dunno exactly what genres you like so I just gave a list of a variety of things. :D

I'm re-watching Black Cat. Everyone should watch it with me *Hugs avatar/sig*
Sky Crawlers
Two more series everyone should see.
Alien Nine - Cause its Higarashi before Higarashi, cute girls but horribly disturbing...
and on the other side of the spectrum...
Hamtaro!
Cause its infectiously adorable...
http://www.freewebs.com/hamtarokingd.../Hamtaro.1.jpg
Desert Punk was full of dirty humour and I loved it.
Also Kanno *cough* use your own site to host :D
I think this one (Castle of Cagliostro) falls under 'Everything Miyazaki' like some people have said, even if they didn't mean this too.Quote:

I loved Blood + its probably one of my favorite animes ever. But I was surprised when I did some research halfway through the series and found out it was supposed to be a prequel to The Last Vampire. I hated that movie... To each their own. But I wouldn't suggest them togetherQuote:

Yes, you've got to. Also this.Quote:

Blood+ is about a girl with amnesia who turns out to be a vampire and her presence ends up dragging her family into a "monster"ous conspiracy. Its one of the more serious and dramatic animes I've seen that doesn't go over the top or get boring (to me). One of the only animes I've found gripping at times (though I have to admit I only saw half of it back in the day. I'll be re-watching it all the way through here soon)Quote:

Anyway there's a bunch of recurring characters, and it's mostly action and comedy. But I enjoyed it ^_^
Back when I was more into anime, now I barely watch any, but these are my top faves, all have had some impact on me:
Chrno Crusade - really good, got drawn right into it, and was fantastic all the way to the end
Nana - I found this really true to life at the time, although it might be a bit girly for guys
Sailor Moon - childhood classic memory, although I would recconmend the manga over the anime
Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 - another early one, but always liked the futuristic setting and robots etc, and the characters were memorable/likable
Gunslinger Girl - this one was different but there was something sweet behind it all, might watch it again to see if I missed something, coz something didn't quite make sense...
I could recconmend others, but these were some of my faves
I have to add D.Gray-Man to my list now. I got the first manga book and have watched about 18 episodes of the anime, it's really good imo.
If InuYasha and D.Gray-Man are what's tickling your fancy right now, then you really aren't ready for anything that I would seriously recommend. Have you watched anything from the multitude of things that people have recommended? No one even mentioned D.Gray-Man.
I'm hoping he got trolled by Boku no Pico and Bible Black.
Yeah I've looked at quite a few of the suggestions (just cant get into anything now since my short Thanksgiving break is over, and Ive started a new job) Fear not, I will be looking into things.Quote:
