Anine Worth Watching

Thank you so much guy, I now have a little buffet of anime titles to work thro ^_^

I want my head filled with more exciting thoughts than "Man Ichigo is cool!!! ...!!! ...!!!"

That kinda sums up my feelings. I wouldnt go so far as to say anime has fallen into the steaming shit heap that can be found on mainstreet TV (can only speek for the UK on that one) and in nearly all films, anime still has that, almost smug sence of style, but there only so many times Ichigo can get beaten to a bloody plup, but still save the day. But I digress, I could analyze bleach and naruto (and the people who worship them) for hours.

Anyway, apart from a couple of titles i've seen, im really looking forwould to giving these a watch. Agane, if anyone has any other to add to the list, go for it ^_^

So my fav was Gungrave so far :O
Wow that is such a great series it has such a great story ----> when I bought it I thought eight Volumes each for over 20 bucks, man that's so expensive...
But it got me addicted definetly one to look at

Right now I watch Samurai 7 ----> First I was a little sceptic, you know samurais in the future, meaning giant robots and stuff like that, but I'm half way through the episodes and I must say it rocks!

I have also watched Claymore some time ago, though it was a little weak on the story side, but if you like girls wielding big swords, be sure to check it out :O
Also it has awsome animations

So if you haven't watched Fullmetal Alchemist, let everything else rest and watch it!! It's the perfect mix of humor, tension, drama, action and "WTF!?-Effects" ----> get it!!

So you wrote you like GANTZ, I did not though I watched all episodes just to see the gore inside that Anime, but it didn't got to me at all

Oh yes if you like gore check out Elfen Lied ----> Blood, boobs, killing, drama and fun :O

To add some more to the list I enjoied:
The Soultaker ----> a little weak on story side, but I love the drawing style
Samurai Champloo ----> Oh gosh it was so funny
Air TV ----> I cried almost + awsome animations
Trigun ----> Fun, Love and Peace :O Also guns, even bigger guns, beer and deserts :O
Noir ----> Girls with Guns, yay... This Anime is more on the realistic side, so there are very few scenes you could laugh at. The Soundtrack is awsome and I really enjoid the story! And the bass goes boom when they shoot =P

Some of my favs :O
I could write even more, but that should do it meanwhile =P

Well, we all have our own tastes. I for one cannot STAND about 90% of the shounen anime out there, no matter how well put together they are. Almost everything I watch is either the blended style, like Shakugan no Shana (Cool fighting, but lots of plot, as well), or straight up shoujo, like Piano and Simoun (Though Simoun has some cool fighting).

im gonna have to agree with scott on gungrave, tho in all honesty i think the show should have ended with the elevator scene with harry/brandon instead of continuing.

also i would reccommend rah-xephon. its the only 'mecha' anime i actually like, although technically its not a mecha. great storyline, and quite good character development, and they made the motion picture to give you an alternate ending if you want it =D (i actually prefer the motion picture ending to the series ending).

i cant believe u said noir -_-. although to be fair the soundtrack DOES Rock in that anime, the actual show has much to be desired, id only put it as an avg, not a great one.

I have to admit, I really enjoyed gungrave. I suffer from a horrible afliction where-by I can usaly work out the ending of a film or show before it happens, gungrave is one of those where I just didnt see it coming (will say no more for fear of spoilers).
I hate to beat on noir, but it felt like the dry cat-food of anime, to me at least. Tho the random angry guitar for the ad brake bit (I forget the proper term) always made me laugh. I should say, I dont think Noir is bad, its just that 'mystery girl with a lost past' witch made me yawn.

I feel the need to defend my liking of Gantz. I saw the ADV trailers for it and was unimpressed, I started watching it due to a lack of anything to watch wile I had my toast in the morning (oh yes, Gantz! As part of a healthy breakfast). What I loved about it was, the story doesnt really begin, nor does it end, we just follow one kid thro all his atempts to say alive, the people he comes to care about and they're loss.

But I digress

Trigun is a must see, indeed. The box set sits in pride of place next to my PS2 games and small cow, in a beefeater uniform. Samurai 7 was by no means the mighty epic it really should have been, but thats just due to the source matrial. Samurai Champloo is brilliant, in every respect ^_^

BIG ASS THANKYOU to the guys who recomended Monster, I never would have seen that otherwise, it definatly warrents your prase.
