Thankyou in advance :D

[danne]

there are threads here about anime recommendations. also head over to http://klboard-anime.cjb.net (the descriptions on the anime is taken from animenfo.com and in some cases (hentai) from hentaineko.com)

just have a search on what ppl recommend here.

There's so much anime to see and manga to read and so precious little time... I'll say tho, get Great Teacher Onizuka, it is simply hilarious.

If you liked Vampire hunter D try Blood The Last vimpire. I really liked that one. :D

No self-respecting fanboy can go without seeing Akira, Ghost in a Shell, and Ninja Scroll. Then there's Wicked City, Spirited Away, and Fist of the North Star for the true die-hards. And if you want to see some good ol' fassioned "demon tentacle sex," check out "Urotsukidoji"-or in America, "Legend of the Overfiend." Hope that helps.

I saw Akira years ago and liked it,but i shall watch it again.I just watched ninja scroll and loved it.Blood was good to but a bit short and the ending was a bit crappy imo.Im d/loading wicked city now.Many thanx. :)

yep i have to say watch Ghost in the Shell (series and film) they are brilliant. Also Trigun and Great Teacher Onizuka. There was a "whats your favourite anime" thread a while back that would be worth checking if u need more stuff to download.

if you like action watch cowboy bebop, escaflowne, record of lodoss war... lots of action! :lol:
