Anime.

Didn't find topic about Anime, not even sure is here any friends of Anime.

But anyway, i thought that in this topic we could share our opinions about Anime, and recommend new series.

Personally i haven't even been watching Anime for long. But about few years back my friend persuaded me. I've seen Death note, Elfen Lied, Highschool of the dead. For now i'm watching Attack on titan, which appears to be really AWESOME.

I've also been watching Bleach, One piece, Black lagoon.... But theres so many of them that its gonna take time to watch them.

Every series i have watched is equally really good ... But my faves at the moment are Elfen Lied, Death Note and Attack on titan.

I quite enjoy anime of all flavors. My all-time favorites are the gundam series. One i would strongly reccomend is called Air. It's a short series, but if you have the time, watch the whole thing. Spoiler alert, you will get a good cry on (i still do, and i've watched it like 20 times)

Here's the way old topic on the subject if you wanted to take a look:

But since it's filled mostly with members who are no longer active... I suppose this one could be for the current ones! And it's mostly about favorites rather than sharing opinions and recommendations.

My brother there recommended Elfen lied not long ago, i usually dont watch Anime but i decided to give it a chance.

What comes to Elfen Lied, it was horrific yet so beautiful .... I actually cried when Nana suffered and when Lucys dog were killed ( i cry a lot :D )

Anime all the way dude.


Naruto, One piece, and bleach are my top three Air isn't bad but it's not really my thing and I've not watched anime in a while.

Everyone keeps telling me to watch Naruto, but somehow it doesn't interest me at all.... Well i actually dont even know what is about.
But i have so many series in progress so theres no point to star new one.

Attack on titan, if you havent watch... watch now! Cool idea, awesome characters/voice acting. Mikasa <3

I gotta say I am pretty picky and am not a huge fan, but Cowboy Bebop one me over in a huge way. It was short it had episodes that were mostly stand alone stories though in some way their was progression and they all connected you could still jump in and understand things. It was pretty grounded in it's characters having them on many occasions not be the best and in fact sometimes not even win. It just was different no powering up no any of that it was just some bounty hunters who were good at their job trying to make a living. Also the ending was just well it was wonderfully done it was fitting and they left it that way no going back no dragging it on just this was their story and now it had ended.

I am not overly fond of most other anime that I have seen probably the second one I really have enjoyed is FMA brotherhood. Other than that most of em have missed their mark for me. Gurren Lagan or however you spell it is rather amusing, but I couldn't get invested. There is a few others like that where I got five-ten episodes in and then kind of just stopped.

I watched Elfen Lied and it was another one I think that was done very well and very unique in its approaches so it was a cool one to watch.

If anyone has not seen Cowboy Bebop, Eflen Lied, FMA Brotherhood, and even Soul Eater (it's amusing) those would be ones I would suggest especially for people who already like anime, but Cowboy Bebop honestly transcends that and is just a awesome show. It is an awesome story with awesome characters and an awesome premise with an amazing ending and it transcends its genre and really just shines even outside that binding at least I think so.

Don't mean to sound horrible, but I have never watched Anime-it just never interested me for some reason.

I have a couple that I think many people enjoy, even if it's not their favorite genre. I can make a bit of a dump here. All of them are pretty short animes (not like Naruto with it's 400+ episodes) with great stories that leaves you with that wonderful satisfied feeling at the end. If you want to know a bit more information to find if you want to see it without getting spoilerfied, just send me a PM:

Death Note was possibly my first ever anime, and it was great. If you haven't seen it, it's mostly a darker suspense/mind game kind of story.

Steins Gate is one I just very recently finished. Great story that really tugs at your emotions.

Mirai Nikki is just purely amazing, in my opinion. Another dark mind game kind of story with characters that constantly keeps you guessing and you NEVER know what's going to happen next.

Black Lagoon is a great actiony kind of anime. Sometimes a little over the top (but within good taste), but seamlessly blends comedy within the action.

Mushishi is a much more whimsical anime. It's one you can just relax and enjoy.

For shame Ragnar for shame jk jk.

There's still time I'm only 16 near on 17 maybe something will catch my eye...which I hope it does the genre seems interesting.

I used to watch anime a lot when I was a kid. I loved staying up to watch Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. Best animes of all time in my opinion:

Trigun: the show was amazing and the manga was even better. My biggest complaint was that the anime just kinda ends, but the manga fleshes it out very well.

Berserk: the anime was amazing, but again ends at a very intense part of the story. This one is a must for picking up the manga after watching the show.

Full Metal Alchemist: the new series is even better then the old one, but both are worth watching.

Dragon Ball Z: a classic, I own ever episode of this show and love to watch them still.

GunXSword: I found this show a lot like Trigun, just with giant mechs. You can never go wrong with giant mechs.

These are my top five. I know some are a little old, but if you haven't seen them I highly recommend them.

Well... I would advise you to start off with Elfen Lied, if you don't mind a lot of violence and some (hardly any) nudity. It's the first anime I watched (and I was quite dismissive of anime before watching it) but I managed to watch the whole series (13 episodes) in two days. So yeah, I would highly recommend Elfen Lied.

Okay Ill look into Elfen Lied when I get the time.

Well, the episodes are only twenty five minutes and you can watch the whole series on youtube, if you want!
