The Obligatory Anime Thread

[Valerunner]

Right, post which shows you watch and suggest new ones.

I watch:

• The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
• Lucky * Star
• Azumanga Daioh
• Fullmetal Alchemist
• Slayers
• Lupin III
• Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo(a pain to remember)

More once I finish scanning through my collection.

 

[surskitty]

that list needs more Pani Poni Dash, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Slayers, and uh whatever I forgot >:| Heard Hare Guu is good but I've never watched it.

out of what's already listed, I watched FMA; out of what I didn't list, I frequently watch Katekyo Hitman Reborn! but the anime is full of fail you have no idea

Ah, thanks for reminding me.

Though Hitman Reborn!'s not that bad.

 

[surskitty]

No, the manga isn't that bad.

The anime is that bad. gowadera :(

Ah, right.

Actually, I'm quite fond of the manga and feel that pretty much everyone should read it! Buuuut... the anime sucks. A lot. KHR is not Bleach or Naruto or Inuyasha: it should not have eight-episode-long fight scenes. Especially not when said fight is supposed to take a bit over half an hour. @_@

I tend to read mangas over watching animes, but of the series I've seen, I like:

Azumanga Daioh
Noir
Madlax
R.O.D the OAV
R.O.D. The TV (two very different things, both awesome)
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
CHOBITS
Fruits Basket
The Studio Ghibli movies

More when I remember them.

 

[IcySapphire]

Classic Pokemon
Slayers
Strike Witches (pity it's ending soon)
Most any magical girl series (so I can study transformation scenes)

 

[Valor]

Haven't watched anime in a while, but...

- Trigun
- Cowboy Bebop
- Big O although the second season... Ehh...
- Samurai Champloo
- G Gundam (I'll admit that I prefer subs since the dub actually ruined the storyline, despite some excellent voice acting.)
- Cardcaptor Sakura. Shut up.
- Full Metal Alchemist
- FLCL
- Paranoia Agent
- Devil May Cry

 

[Kai Lucifer]

M.. Let me see...

Chrono Crusade
D.N.Angel
Immortal Rain Alright, there isn't one, but ther should be.
FMA
Most of the Studio Ghlibi collection

...off of the top of my head.

 

[Celestial Blade]

Digimon Adventure Zero Two (Japanese 2nd season w/English subtitles)

that's about it!

 

[Flora]

[spaekle]

Lessee.

Death Note
Digimon (Tamers yes)
DN Angel (manga's amazing; anime faiiiiils)

Marchen Awakens Romance (MÄR)
Paranoia Agent
Rurouni Kenshin
Samurai Champloo
Yu Yu Hakusho

I've been watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, sorta getting into it. I've been kinda looking for a new one to get addicted to lately.

I love Shonen anime but to be honest I usually find myself skipping fight episodes and just looking up what happened. Especially if they're multiple episodes long. I might actually watch it if it's a character I like, but the episodes in themselves are usually pretty boring. And it feels kind of weird to say I like shonen anime but not long-ass boring fights. :|

That would be part of why I don't like the KHR anime. :(

o right Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is good yes

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

This. I love this. Not to mention I learned the whole ending dance. ^^

 

[Renteura]

Death Note
FMA

 

[Crazy Linoone]

Hmmm... *pulls out list*


I've watched...

• The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Teh awesomesauce. Can't wait for second season.
• Lucky * Star. Also teh awesomesauce. And yay for Apollo Justice and FMA cameos!
• Some of Azumanga Daioh. :D
• Fullmetal Alchemist. Because I can. To be frank, I prefer the manga, but mostly because the anime ending sucks.
• Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei. More awesomesauce.
• Shakugan no Shana. I thought it was pretty good, and I hope they make a third season~
• Some of Mushishi. It's really great. Like, really, really, great.
• Some of D. Gray-man. Because I'm too lazy to read the manga. But then I can't find streams anymore, so I sorta stopped. But it's quite good.

And, uh, I can't remember.

Currently watching:

• Kino no Tabi, also known as Kino's Journey or Kino's Travels. Again. THIS IS A MUST WATCH. I'm also reading the light novels, which is also totally awesome. Talking motorcycle, anyone?
• Evangelion. Because it's awesomely twisted and contains aliens and giant robots.

Currently trying to watch:

• Code Geass R2. Just to figure out what happens. But I'm too busy with Evangelion and Kino no Tabi to bother to watch it... Pretty interesting.
• Mushishi. WHY CAN'T I FIND IT OH WHY... T-T I watched some of it, and it was totally awesome. Then I can't find streams anymore...

And then there's always this pile of manga I'm planning on reading but never got around to it because I'm lazy.

Strike Witches (pity it's ending soon)

I love Strike Witches, but it doesn't really seem like a sustainable series. :P

Everybody has mentioned all the stuff I would consider my favorites, including Lucky Star, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (yay new season), Lupin III, Fullmetal Alchemist (but of course the manga is better), Shakugan no Shana (second season kind of drops off, though...), FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, Azumanga Daioh, Chobits (although the anime could've been better)...

Stuff not mentioned yet that I recommend:
- Excel Saga
- Galaxy Angel
- Shuffle!, lacking when it comes to the drama, but it's funny when it's funny.
- Mnemosyne, very violent, full of sex, intriguing storyline.
- Elfen Lied, gory, bloody, violent, rather good story.
- Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo, something I watched recently, it's a really good movie.
- Grave of the Fireflies, hits really close to home, too close for some, but if you can handle it, I can suggest this.
- Black Lagoon, this is extremely badass, and the dub is actually good, seeing as how the characters are actually speaking English most of the time anyway.
- Aria, everyone needs to watch this, though the manga is a tiny bit better. Simply beautiful.

Series I am watching:
- Strike Witches, it's rather lovely once you get past the ridiculous (if not awesome) fanservice.
- Hidamari Sketch x365, the sequel to Hidamari Sketch. If you liked Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, and/or Sketchbook, you might like this.
- Special A, a decent romantic comedy.
- Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, otaku anime, romantic comedy.
- Itazura na Kiss, a romantic comedy, and hilarious at times, but the plotline is really good, although the latter quarter of the series is kind of iffy, since the main storyline sort of ends.

 

[Dannichu]

Haha, I told you I'd forget loads.
