Gimme a good Anime Series
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: slim150
I have only ever liked one Anime Series, Cowboy bebop, now that I've finished every episode I'm looking for a new one. Does anyone here have a good series for me? Thanks!
Posted by: JRSellers
I really like Inuyasha, but it wasn't on Saturday. I'm sure what CN ran was pretty good, but I wanted to see Inuyasha.
I also liked Ronin Warriors, Tekken: The Motion Picture, Wolf's Rain, Ghost In The Shell, Witch Hunter Robin, and Vampire Hunter D.

-Samurai Champloo (amazing series, and directed by the same guy who did Bebop)
-Fullmetal Alchemist
-Kurau Phantom Memory
-Azumanga Daioh

Others I have recently watched:
Shaman King (loved it)
Full Metal Alchemist(also loved it)
Wolf's Rain(classic)
Scryed(so so)
Samurai Deeper Kyo(decent)
Bleach(it's new so not complete but pretty coll thus far)
Gungrave(didn't love it but liked it enough, worth the download if you like anime)

and damn im coming to a blank for movies :frusty:
Posted by: lightshow
for movies, if you go to dbgt .com and sign up on their forums, they have episode/movie (not only db) for direct dl under media section.
don't do more than one at a time though.. they will block your ip.
Posted by: bob_the_alien
Of the ones already said, Trigun, Samuari Champloo, Gungrave, Love Hina & again, Ghost in the Shell 1,2 & SAC. BLEACH (Definitley a good series), Full Metal Alcehmist, Dragonball (first series is way better than DBZ or DBGT. However i still like DBZ, but except for the OVA, DBGT pretty much sucks.
also, I'd recommend.
Project A-ko
Shadow Skill
Peace Maker Kurogane
Naruto,
Flame of Recca.
Hunter X Hunter (Series, and OVA's)
Gantz
Chrno Crusade
Beck
Robotech
Macross
Now and Then, Here and There

Elfen Lied is amazing, if you haven't seen it download it. Only 13 eps, truly amazing piece of work.

NARUTO n BLEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(ninjas) (spirits, ghost)
BOTH ARE really funny!
Posted by: SuperJude™
Bleach is turning out pretty well, funny and serious at the same time. I only have the first 9 eps (I think that's all that is available currently). Ichigo is the man, Rukia is a great character, I like the whole shinigami angle.
Curious to see where they go with it, since a couple characters have been introduced and not brought back yet.

If you liked that, you should give the uncut version of Gantz a try as well (unless you already have ^^). Can be a problem to get hold of tho, have only seen the first four eps subbed of the uncut version.

Okay I have seen eps 1-5, and you're right, not the easiest series to get ahold of. Using klite and irc, still only have 11 eps. Thus far it is good, interesting, odd plot line (which I love), and kind of reminds me of a very serious Furi Kuri. Then again I was told the entire series gets more bizzare past episode 11 and into the second season.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Also if you haven't seen Samurai Champloo, do so, the next portion starts in January I think.
-SJ™
Posted by: danne
well, I have seen the cut version up to episode 24 and it does indeed go even more bizzare ^^ But the uncut version is only fansubbed up to ep four I think (ep four was released late november)
Have only seen gantz project release it, and their version is very well done in mkv format (just looking at the fansub part, it's actually one of the best fansubs I've seen (layout-wise)).
I suppose it ain't easy to get on k-lite (haven't used it myself in uhm must be 1,5 years ago). irc should be easier, but I have to say bittorrent, head over to www.baka-updates.com and search for gantz ^^ should be good for irc as well.

EVANGELION ! best anime :) the first episode is like the best all time anime i've seen anywhere...this is kinda like an epic thing if your into that

Posted by: SaYiaN

Posted by: Snee
Ghost in the shell stand alone complex
Rahxephon
Last Exile
^My current favourites.
EDit: Just finished Argentosoma, which was alright, kinda' moody like gasaraki.
The animation looked good tho'. Unlike, say, Zone of the Enders.
Posted by: SuperJude™
Finished Gunslinger Girl. Interesting and really beautifully drawn, with yet another anti climactic anime ending. Not that it was a bad ending, it wasn't, just not much to say considering how amazing and violent other parts of the series are. Plus, killer 7 year old girls?
;)

Rurouni Kenshin
Posted by: Mr. Elmo
i agree with the guy who recomended Hunter X Hunter. It's a great serie. Great plot, good action, quite funny.
Is there a undub version of Rurouni Kenshin? I keep downloading the DUB version. I hate anime that's been dub...it ruin the anime completely. The voice actors are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this before, Hajime No Ippo is an excellent series.

Posted by: abu_has_the_power
you need to check out Tekkaman Blade
it's on boxtorrents.com
Posted by: lightshow
I hated Noir, I thought it was sooo slow.
I just got finished watching one called Fruits Basket. It was pretty funny. I liked it. Got it off boxtorrents.
Right now I've downloaded InuYasha season 1-5, Excel Saga, Escaflowne Series, My Hime, kiddy grade, bleach and Kodomo No Omocha
haha. I've downloaded around 60 GB of anime within the week before I leave school and its badass connection. My ratios are crazy too. I'm at about 1.6-2.3 on the sites i'm going to. its crazy that i can upload 90-100gb and download 60 in one week. that's a huge amount of traffic....
as long as they don't mind i'm happy ;)
<i extend my hat to the makers of peerguardian 2x)
Posted by: Tikibonbon
Air and My Hime are my current favorites, and both series have ended so you can get them in one shot.
Posted by: Dark Steno
there are much animes to watch lately...

ninja scroll -tv series 1 -14
I saw the movie and really liked it. Is the tv series just as good??
Posted by: faeline
Hmmm... I read/watch a lot of girly anime, so those girly items on my list will be noted just in case you're not into girly stuff.
I'd recommend:
Naruto
Bleach
Full Metal Alchemist
Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X (personally I only like first half of it)
Ranma 1/2 (But It's LONG)
Hikaru no Go (Kinda cool)
Prince of Tennis
Galaxy Angels (Very funny)
Petshop of Horrors
Getbackers
One Piece
Fushigi Yuugi/Curious Play (Quite girly, but awesome story)
Ayashi no Ceres/Ceres the Celestial Maiden(Same author is Fushigi Yuugi, tragedy)
Full Moon wo Sagashite/Searching for Full Moon(Quite girly too)
Chobits
Fruits Basket/Furuba (Quite girly, but has a very warm storyline)
Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou/His and Her Circumstances (A fast paced story revolving around a couple, very funny. Although has a bad ending, still recommended)
Angelic Sanctuary (If you like tragedies)
X (If you like tragedies)
AIR (A short story, kinda mystic)
Hana Yori Dango (Girly, very funny romantic comedy)
Maison Ikkoku (Same author as Ranma 1/2, early work)
Inu Yasha (Same author as Ranma 1/2, more serious)
Some classics:
Doraemon
Dragonball
Astroboy
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon
Can't think of anymore now. Hope it helps.
Posted by: ichinisan
"Maison Ikkoku" - classical one, very touching love story based on real life in Japan.
Posted by: killer04
You could also try Erementar Gerad. Its a great anime which just came out.
Posted by: SpatulaGeekGirl
Shin Seiki Evangelion, duh. :rolleyes: It's a masterpiece.
Posted by: tiduseifer
Put my vote down for Initial D, its the only full series anime that i have seen.
Very emotional stuff
Posted by: silent VI
bebop is also one of the few animes that i really enjoyed mainly because of
the characters..

Cowboy Bebop Shooting Star (manga) : Original Idea
Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door The Movie : Director
Samurai Champloo (TV) : Director

Ranma 1/2 is a good comedy!
Posted by: n18
Basilisk,Speed Grapher,Suzuka,Shuffle!
if u need good series just visit baka updates, and look @ the shows most people download. except for naruto because it sux
Posted by: Skizo
Good. Anime. Aren't those oxymorons? :unsure:
Posted by: Grisbi
Like others said before me, Samurai Champloo might catch your interest. It has similarities to Cowboy Bebop. I always thought Mugen kind of had the same hair style as Spike.

My Favs are
FMA

Naruto (what i am watching now)
Bleach
Ghost in the Shell: SAC (got me into anime)
Posted by: anak
Ghost - In - The - Shell = Best - Anime - Series (will they come out with a 3rg gig!?)
Wolf's Rain is awesome
Paranoia Agent is more awesome
Perfect Blue (1995 movie) > i haven't watched it but my friend has and both he and imdb (;)) have said it is the best psychological thriller as far as anime goes..
Posted by: weenden
if you like a little comedy in your anime and over 300 episodes and counting one piece kinda chilish at times other times intense
Posted by: TYPE R
naruto kenshine all dbz bleach
Posted by: jsibony
I would definitely say Berserk is just an amazing anime start to finish. gungrave is also a great story, .hack//sign has flashes of brilliance, but is to caught up in its own story and gets really boring at points. Champloo is incredibly done, but in terms of perfection, Bebop is it, i don't know if i could recommend anything better than Bebop
Posted by: DefX
Noone here a fan of Hikaru No Go?
Its definitely on my top 3. One of the few animes that really kept me coming back for more. Other "page-turner" type animes i can recommend are 12 kokuki and Gungrave.
Posted by: TYPE R
Hikaru No Go didnt get in 2 it
Posted by: feelin'phishy?
I'll tell u wot i told someone else but i 'll try to be less annoying.
Bleach
Chobits
Neon Genesis Evangelion (but it will fry ur brain)
Full-metal Alchemist
Air
Spiral (but i can't find any of the episodes after 6th)
Wolf's rain (hav not watched them all yet. cood go downhill from 5th but comes wiv good recommendation from a pal)

Posted by: slim150
I knew i recognized this title! I made it! hehe..
Well as a 3 year old update.. I did watch a few of the series mentioned in this thread. Although I must admit, alot of these ideas are more of the kid shows on cartoon network that I had zero interest in.
Some of my past favorites since watching Bebop for the first time:
Elfen lied (one of my new favorites)
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Berserk
Serial Experiments Lain
Right now I am watching Rurouni Kenshin.
I've also discovered that I like Japanese w/ subtitles almost better than having it in english!
