Which anime should I watch next?

[Optium]

The thing about Wolf's Rain is that it's actually a pain to watch. 30
episodes of them travelling toward paradise with close to no action, some
drama but usually minor, and extremely brief action when there is any at
all. So I didn't really like watching it after the first few episodes, but I said
I'm not going to judge it until the end, because the entire series seems to
be a <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">load of rising action, and there will be an awesome climax. Turns
out there was a pretty good fight during the last episode, but instead of
focussing on it they focus on a girl getting up off the ground for 10 seconds
while you can hear the wolves fighting in the background. What the hell.
I don't care if it's artsy or more dramatic, it sucks. So anyway, the ending
was a flop and if you were to add a few giant robots you'd have the same
ending as Evangelion (as in the End of Evangelion, not the last 2 episodes
haha).

I also recommend Gundam Seed Destiny. It is still airing and are at episode 36 right now.

On CN? When?

Airing...in Japan. Not America/Canada.

[NotQuiteNecessary]

I(and I know Raven Nox stands beside me on this) suggest Noir. It's by the makers of .hack//sign, it has some of the best animeated and choraeographed fights in anime history, and the plotline is intriguing, as are the characters.

[XxSephirothxX]

I don't know if you're just trying to pick between those two, but I'll list what I consider to be the best and most worthy of your time.

Cowboy Bebop
RahXephon
FLCL
Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy

If you've seen all of those, go for Samurai Champloo. Shinichiro Watanabe is amazing.

[Sarkis]

Well I just finished Wolf's Rain, and though I was hoping and praying that
it wouldn't be utter <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">, my prayers went completely unanswered. What
an awful show.

Anyway, I'm wondering what anime to watch next. My two main choices
are between the first season of Naruto and Samurai Champloo, I'm leaning
towards Samurai Champloo. But I'm considering other possibilities. I'd list
the animes I've seen but there are too many and I'd probably miss some,
so if you have any suggestions, or a favorite of the two above, feedback
would be awesome.

Bastard, Slayers the TV version not the movies season 1 2 and 3, Anything by Miazaki, Record of Lodoss war, Oraphein, Ruroni Kenshin Inuyasha and Ghost in the shell stand alone complex are all stunning animes.

[DMKA]

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor is one of the only anime really worth watching.

And Puni Puni Poemy.

[Germ Hamee]

Judging from your dislikes and favorites, I would recommend to you absolutely anything unoriginal and mainstream. Stick to the anime section at Wal-Mart and you won't go wrong -- you'll love anything you find there. Maybe .hack//SIGN, or the Tekken movie.

[Lionx]

First i would say..(all subbed of course)

Fruits Basket
Full Metal Alchemist
One Piece
Gash Bell(or Zatch's bell for toonami)
Gravitation
Gundam Seed Destiny
Loveless
Genshiken
Kujibiki Unbalance OVA
Arc the Lad

if you cant get any of those then Samurai Champloo ..then Naruto..Naruto is a little overrated IMO. Need torrents? Boxtorrents work, or try mIRC.

[Optium]

Yeah, I got them from boxtorrents. I've seen many of the animes listed
here. I've heard that Lodoss War is real good, so I might check that out too
actually. I watched the first episode of Naruto a while ago and wasn't
really impressed. After watching Wolf's Rain I don't want to be let down
again so I probably won't be watching it. Especially since there are like 7
seasons. Germ, I'm glad--if not skeptical--that you know what my likes
and dislikes are, but instead of bashing a taste that I have when you really
have no idea what it entails, why not suggest something and thereby not
be a complete waste of space in this thread?

[SomethingBig]

I don't know why I didn't recommend it before, but Kikaider: The Animated Series. Unfortunately, the 20 something episode series costs $50-60. But I'm still getting it because I love that series to death. It's extremely dark, gritty, and balances out a great plot and loads of great fight scenes.

Full Metal Alchemist: This is probably the best anime in existence. It equals out comedy, romance, action, adventure, story and molds them all into 1 perfect show. There has never, ever been a show that has made me think more than FMA.

[Germ Hamee]

...why not suggest something and thereby not
be a complete waste of space in this thread?

o.O Didn't I? ...'kay, scratch even .hack//SIGN. And how about now wasting thread space with something that's done every other day? :P

On a slightly more serious note, if you haven't seen Full Metal Alchemist already, give it a shot. It's a fairly simple show, but has enough going for it to keep from being your typical mediocre CN anime.

[Lionx]

First ten episodes are simple..i cant see anyone saying anything beyond 10 to be anything BUT simple..

[kikimm]

I've heard that Lodoss War is real good, so I might check that out too.

No. No, no, no. I made that mistake a couple months ago; perhaps my opinion isn't valid because I only got to the fifth episode, but that's all I could take. It's a very porrly done series, in my opinion. However, if you still want to check it out, do NOT get it dubbed, at all costs. The English voice acting is one of the main reasons why I stopped watching it. But I think something was wrong with the subtitles as well....gah, I don't even remember.

But in my opinion, not a good idea.

BECK is what you should watch next naruto is a kiddie anime.And they drag things out too long.

[Optium]

Ahh...thanks for the suggestions. I'm checking out BECK now and I think
I've seen some of Kikaider before at my friend's house...but maybe I'm
thinking of something else. I'll check that out too.

I watched Berserk before Wolf's Rain and FMA before that. Both were
very good (though the ending of Berserk was <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">ty...I have all the manga
though so I wasn't too heartbroken).

But Germ, I'd like to know something that's original and underground. Help
me out. I'm also still wondering how you know my likes and dislikes so well
but maybe I'll have to settle with never knowing :\
