Anime Recommendations: I need a new anime to watch

[Ikvar]

As the title say, I am looking for romantic anime in the style of Ah! My Goddess. and/or a romantic drama- tearjerker kinda thing :)
- And yes, I have read the recommendation thread

[Biscuits]

I's is pretty good with comedy thrown in as well.
The anime sucks as it cuts up the story,which is why I recommend the Manga.

[Rori]

I've never watched Ah! My Goddess, but ~

Full moon wo sagashite - HUGE tearjerker. Romance of course.
Card captor Sakura - such a great romance anime.
Fruits Basket - drama/romance

[Finvarra]

hmmm

Hanbun No Tsuki Ga Noboru Sora (see sig)
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (Wunderfull story, but deffenly very emotional.)
Is Pure (Quite a mix, but romantic none the less)
Onegai Teacher (comidy romance etc)
Suzuka (school romance)
Futakoi (twins, lots of twins)
Da capo (Magical, romance, lots of girls)
Iriya no Sora UFO no Natsu (summer love, short story)
Ai Yori Aoshi (mix)
Mahoromatic (mix (robot maid))
midori no hibi (Very werd, but extreamly good, comandy romance)
Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na (Mix, but basicly love that spans two worlds and a war. And a lot of fun along the way.)
Chobits (humon style robots, love, life, what is life? mystry and comady)
AIR (great story, expect to cry)
Kanon (Mix, amazing story as well, some type of deal as air but in winter.)

[Scum]

ichigo 100% - romantic comedy, short but good. Check out the manga for the better version.

peach girl - a love triangle with so many f'd up things happening to break the couples up.

school rumble - more comedy than romance, but it's there ;o

Sakura Dairies - another short series, about a ronin who pretends to be a student at Keio university to hook up with some girl. This one's also a love triangle

Lamune - about childhood friends that are more than childhood friends - except they don't know it.

Canvas 2 - about an art student who becomes a teacher and lives with his cousin(she's in love with him) and his experiences as he meets his high school crush(well most of his early life) as a co-worker.

DearS - whacky story about aliens coming to earth and getting citizen ship; one of the dysfunctional ones ends up in the hands of an alien hater and so on. A mix of romance/comedy and some action

[Wuuu]

Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien is a real heartbreaker :cry

[Hype]

Not really my field but Eureka 7 hasnt been mentioned yet

[Mindless]

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Nuff said.

[martryn]

I came in here to say Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, but everyone already beat me to it. It's my favorite anime to date. I think I cried during 6 or 7 of the episodes.

[BlueCheese]

Honey & Clover, KGNE, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Hoshi no Koe, Iriya no Sora UFO no Natsu Fruits Basket, Beyond the Clouds, Hantsuki, Suzuka, Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou, NANA, Ai Yori Aoshi and Koi Kaze *shudders* (No way could I ever watch that again, I'm sure some will know why)

[Finvarra]

hmm never hurd of Koi Kaze, and hmm what a pediciment for the two main characters to be in..... I guess I will add that to my have a look at list. Thanks for the suggestion

[nyu]

saw this and ah! my goddess came to mind but that was in the first post.

i guess maybe please teacher in some ways

[Kira Yamato]

Well, most of my suggestions were already posted here so I'll mention the ones not stated yet:



Mahoraba Heartful Days
Onegai Twins
Saikano
Strawberry Panic

[Mat®icha]

this thread could be very useful, to inspire some (like me) to start watchin' new anime.

[BlueCheese]

hmm never hurd of Koi Kaze, and hmm what a pediciment for the two main characters to be in..... I guess I will add that to my have a look at list. Thanks for the suggestion

It made me feel sick.... The incest thing is hmmmm but the guy is 27 and she is 15.... That's just wrong....

[Finvarra]

It made me feel sick.... The incest thing is hmmmm but the guy is 27 and she is 15.... That's just wrong....

hmm maby I wont then, its not on any of my normal download sites anyways. The desciption pointed it out, but I cant really tell from the description how far it goes. I will just put it on the debate list then.

Most of the animes on this site i eather have, or decided againts, 90% I have or are on my list too download. But that one I had never come across at all lol.

[Kira Yamato]

It made me feel sick.... The incest thing is hmmmm but the guy is 27 and she is 15.... That's just wrong....

that sounds an awful lot like Canvas 2 :P

except that they're cousins and the age gap is a bit closer (still a sizable gap), but teacher/student and cousins aspect is a bit weird, plus their was the whole "choosing your cousin over your childhood sweetheart" that took the cake >_>

*just read the synopsis for Koi Kaze*


Damn....:S

then again I enjoyed Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru :noworry

[kimani]

BASILISK!!!!!

Best anime I have seen in a long time!

[nyu]

oh yeah love hina


wait maybe not i don't know

[Eureka]

Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru.... Hmm... I think I read a reveiw somewhere that named it the worst manga EVER.

Edit: Found it :)
You know, maybe the title should have tipped me off on this one. But I'm the kind of fool who's dumb enough to give anything a fair shot once, especially when it's accompanied by the wailing of shoujo obsessives who claim that they were utterly moved by the emotional drama and trauma and anything else that ends in -ama. So I'm reading this series, having at least a mild inkling of what the premise entails, and trying to buy into the depth of this guy's conflicted feelings for his twin sister. Except there ISN'T ANY! (Depth, that is.) This story is basically about a guy who wants to bone his little sister. That is IT. Why the hell did I ever think there would be any sort of expansion on this theme? They basically spend each chapter getting dangerously close with each other, often in explicit ways, and this smut is repeated over and over until you just want to read some conservative, pedantic pre-Tezuka shoujo manga about how little Chieko became a good obedient wife and waits every day to serve dinner to her salaryman husband because he gets so tired from perpetuating the Japanese economic miracle. Now, there are some "taboo" series that have been done well—I'm thinking Koi Kaze or Hourou Musuko—but I would not, among any of them, include "BokuImo," which should be killed with God's purifying fire.

[Finvarra]

love hina, counts.

I really liked it hehe. Althrough it seems to be a you like it or you hate it anime. lol

I have never watched an anime of the brother / sister love concept, not counting none blood related ones (Or at least not one that jumps to mind). hmm Aless you count chokotto sister.

[nyu]

what about chobits, steel angel kurumi, and i will think of some later

[BlueCheese]

Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru is much less extreme. Seriously... The guy in Koi Kaze just freaks me out. When he was sniffing her panties I was just like.... geez..... please no....

[Mindless]

Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru is much less extreme. Seriously... The guy in Koi Kaze just freaks me out. When he was sniffing her panties I was just like.... geez..... please no....

Wow. He really went that far? I only watched like five episodes then I had my fill of incest. Never more...

[Cell]

I enjoyed Chobits.

[wickedpete]

I'm looking for some more romantic/comedy with a touch of ecchi.

Series I've liked so far:

Ichigo 100%
Suzuka
Shuffle!
Peach Girl

[BlueCheese]

Wow. He really went that far? I only watched like five episodes then I had my fill of incest. Never more...

Haha yeah, I'm impressed with myself that I managed to watch the entire thing. But never again lol.

[Aiyori]

NANA. :]

I swear, once I started watching that, I could NOT stop. Tis so addicting. x_x


Ai Yori Aoshi is cute, too. There's a big selection, ne? ><

[Finvarra]

See http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=198395&page=2

basicly the same topic

[nyu]

if steel angel kurumi is romance to then deffinatly try that same with love hina.

[Kaki]

If this is a dupe it will be fused.

Anything by Rumiko takahashi.

Love Hina

[wickedpete]

I wasn't really looking for the tearjerking romance that they requested in that thread

[Finvarra]

That thread, has become a mix of tir jerker and normal, but fair comment. Sorry for not 100% usefull responce then.

[Arfus]

Anyone know about an anime thats About the same as "Moon Phase"?

[Red.Itachi]

Im looking for some girl superpower like Mai-Hime or Kyoshiro No Towa.

Or some Psychic Action like E's Otherwise if anyone knows anything...

Mai Otome
Rozen Maiden (girl dolls, its dam good through.)

Well thats what came to mind... hope thats of some use.

[Arsid]

Ok, so I was wondering if there were any other fightning/violence animes out there that are still getting new episodes BESIDES NARUTO, BLEACH, AND ONE PIECE!

(I'm looking for a new anime and i like action ones)

[S.o.L]

Try Hunter X Hunter

[Arsid]

Oh, and you forgot the anime Kiba on the list.

Any idea?

[drache]

I'd highly reccomend Ghost in the Shell (both movies) and Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex and Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2.

Try and get the subbed verision by Laughing Man, why? Because once you see that verision and then see the dubbed verision you realize just how hard it is to translate GitS. The ideas and plots are completed and convulted but make sense though you might have to watch the series a couple times. Of course if you're not in the mood for that each epi can stand alone too. I'm not sure where I'd put it catogerically but it's definitely one of the most complete anime universes I've seen and one of the best all time

[pyroxblaze]

A few anime besides bleach and naruto that I quite enjoyed:

-Death Note :anime ongoing, manga is completed-108 chapters. my favorite ever...
- Ghost Hunt: 25 episodes, completed. (i hope there's a second season though...) genre: mystery-ish I guess. not really horror, although there are a few scary scenes.
- Higurashi no naku koro ni: 26 episodes I think. It's in the horror genre. But it was pretty cool, even though the game is better
-Night Head Genesis: 24 episodes. Not sure what genre I'd categorize this in. But it was interesting, if I'm not mistaken it was based on some TV series from the 1990s.
-Elfen Lied seems very very promising. But I watched the first 5 minutes and decided it was too gory. (I had just finished watching higurashi no naku koro ni at the time, so decided to lay off the gore for a while)
-D.Gray Man! It's cool...read the manga too!!
-and of course Full Metal Alchemist. :)

does anyone have any other anime reccommendations for the mystery/horror genre? or anythging along the lines of FMA, Bleach? I'm not too big on the girly/mecha/sports/romantic anime. well, sports i dont mind. but not the others.

[LadySachiya]

I'm running out of animes to watch. So does anybody wanna help me out here? I mean come on people I'm gonna die waiting on the Naruto anime and manga every week.

I've already watched the following:
FullMetal ALchemist
Yuyu Hakusho
rurouni kenshin
DBZ (all 3 of them)
PeaceMaker Kurogane
Tokyo Mew Mew
D.N Angel
Ouran High School Host Club
Inuyasha
Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch
Full Moon wo Sagashite
Chrno Crusade
And Bleach just didn't click for me (Sowwie bleach fans :amuse).

So are their any suggestions on what I should watch next. Plz??? I'm bored and animeless. :cry

[Wesley]

My Sig. Slayers watch now.

[variousart]

Hey guys...

Can someone advise anime like Ichigo 100%? I tried to find something, but i didnt found something like that.

[Captain Pimp]

Hey guys...

Can someone advise anime like Ichigo 100%? I tried to find something, but i didnt found something like that.

Ehh, I go with School Rumble, which is the closest thing to Ichigo 100% imo..

I also recommend Ouran, but it's boys over a girl instead xD

[Lainex9]

Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru is much less extreme. Seriously... The guy in Koi Kaze just freaks me out. When he was sniffing her panties I was just like.... geez..... please no....

i just finished watching all of Koi Kaze. i thought it was a pretty good anime and explored some deep issues. esp 12 was the best. and yes the 27 year old guy did sniff his sister's bra and then she walked in, but didn't see then he masterbaiting in his room. but they both devolpe mutal feelings for one another, its not like a child molestation porno series.

no really mega spoilerNanoka and Koshiro make love in esp 12. they slept over at his appt. and the next day he was in his boxers and she was wrapped up in the bed sheet with no bra on.

the ending i'm not to sure what it meant. they either went on and resumed there lives as normal while still seeing each other or they mutual broke up. even thought Koshiro says "i love you" serval times over.

anyone know of more animes or movies along the lines of this. this taboo topic and type of relationships really interest me. at one point in the anime Nanoka asked her brother "do you want to commit lover's suicide?" at one point i thought they were going to tell their mother that they were going out. i dunno the drama is just deeper and i know that i'm not into those things, but the psychology of it does intrest me.

[Qez]

well i've been currently looking 4 a new anime 2 watch & but couldn't really decide. So is there any good comedy/love animes worth watching?

[Champloon]

If u havent seen school rumble id HIGHLY recommend you do

[chrisp]

Love Hina is supposed to be good. Haven't watched it myself, but it's the next anime on my list.:P

[Dreikoo]

Love hina is great but you'd have to read the manga after the anime and the OVAs for the conclusion of the series because it doesn't end in the anime.

Come to think of it all romance/comedy anime that came to my mind also go on more (some aloooooooot more) in their corresponding manga so you might wanna look into some fanslations and whatnot and see if you can get into that too.

[Broleta]

Please Teacher. 'Nuff said.

[CalRahhh]

Azumanga Daioh is a fantastic comedy. No one can beat Osaka. No one.

[Lee's Suiken]

Azumanga Daioh is a fantastic comedy. No one can beat Osaka. No one.

True, but Azumanga Daioh doesnt really have any romance :oh

I suggest Eureka Seven if you dont mind the Sci-Fi part, or Kanon 2006.

Both are amazing. They arent known for their comedic bits, but they do have humor.

[Taxman]

*merges with the RECOMMENDATION THREAD*

[Catterix]

The many Tenchi Muyo series.

They seem to mingle a nice amount of comedy, romance and action.

[chaosas]

What about Fantasy category? Fantasy as in magic... stuff. Spells, magic staves, etc. :P
Any more suggestions?
(Besides Zero no Tsukaima that is because I've watched it)

[Captain Pimp]

^Hmm..I recommend Scrapped Princess, but it's not all magic and spells. It's mostly about medieval stuff like swordsmen, but there are some spellcasters.

[narutox3]

comedy
Perfect Girl Evolution Japanese name Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge)
its really sooo funny smile-big whoever watches this will probably like it

[LightningBlade]

Is there any fightning anime that is ongoing

BESIDES- Naruto, Bleach, Hunter X Hunter or One Piece???

I really want a new anime to watch but I can't find one that fits this description...plz help!

[pyroxblaze]

Ouran High School Host Club. It's hilarious. of course, I AM easily amused. But it's still funny. I laugh just thinking about it.

[Finvarra]

Is there any fightning anime that is ongoing

I really want a new anime to watch but I can't find one that fits this description...plz help!

Here is a list of the new seasons offerings of fighting animes that come out each week and that I have eather looked at and like or am plaining to watch but have not had a chance. (Or at least that I currently have on my hardisk.)

The ones with ** are ones I am very inpressed in, * are ones I am vertauly 100% that I will keep watching, others I have not 100% decied on yet. (But I dont tend to decied till 3 maby 4 ep's in anyways.)

** Claymore (FIGHTING)
Heroic Age (Meca, Space, War...)
** Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S (Magical girl fighting, but there not excaly little girls anymore.)
* El Cazador de la Bruja (Comady, bouty hunters, strange powers)
* Darker_Than_Black (hmm powers of the mind?, well not 100% excaly what the powers are, but its certainly worth looking at, but I have just finsihed ep 2 so its a bit early to know for sure.)
Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagan (Robots, comady)
Shining_Tears_X_Wind <--- Not watched yet
* Kaze_no_Stigma (Magic Fighting)
Bokurano <--- not watched yet

Hopefully that makes some sense and is of some help.

Oh and there is a new OVA called Murder Princess its 6 ep's long and comes out once a mounth, but it looks good.

On running from last season:-
D Gray-man

[Otherside]

Anything similar to Berserk? Not necessarily the adult aspect but more the fantasy/medieval kind of feel

[tenten-2-20]

Ok I def qualify as an anime n00b, so im just gonna flat out ask. Is ninja scroll both a movie and an anime?

Because someone suggested i watch ninja scroll the movie, i may have gotten the name confused, but i know its an actual anime series. Was the series just based off of the movie or something?

13 Ep series + movie

[tenten-2-20]

Was the series based of the movie, was the movie an ending to the series, or is it just separate?

[chaosas]

Darker than Black, I second that. It should go under Action/ Superpower I think. Great anime :amuse

[EroSensei]

What are some animes about geniuses and/or intellect? I'm already watching Death Note so don't include that one.
Feel free to suggest manga as well as animes.

Thanks.

[Vodrake]

Hmm, Detective Conan I guess. The main plot's pretty slow, but even so it can still be taken as a fairly decent show about a kid solving multitudes of difficult criminal cases and such.

I'd reccomend the manga over the anime, but that's just my personal preference.

[Zaru]

Code Geass, the main character is genius

[Amatsu]

Konjiki no Gash Bell comes to mind.

[Vergil]

yeah code geass is genius. monster was also pretty clever in some ways (especially johan - though that might have been evil genius. or just plain evil)

[Scum]

Battle Programmer Shirase - a short series about a genius computer programer who is also a lolicon -_-

[Cipher]

Code Geass is pretty much Death Note with mechs. Lelouch even resembles Light.

Monster is absolutly awesome and the main villain is easily smarter than Yagami Light ever could have been.

[Narutofanboy161]

Prince of tennis. Echizen is a godly prodigy.

[damnhot]

code geass

naruto............ ok just kidding

[Tokio_no_Go]

Unfortunately theres not many. Perhaps you would enjoy Spiral.
Code Geass, Monster, Prince of Tennis, all good choices I'd say.

[ansoncarter]

never heard of spiral

I never watched them, but maybe those anime's about Shogi, or whatever the game is called. There's at least two of them, both pretty respected too iirc

probably not much like deathnote though lol. Might have the battle of wits thing going on though, if thats all your looking for

[Vegitto-kun]

I think "Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro" is pretty good

[YraNecrem]

code geass... is more strategic genius then like light as in all around genius... basically he strategizes like a chess master...

[Vergil]

dragonball z. definitely.

[chaosas]

Battle Programmer Shirase - a short series about a genius computer programer who is also a lolicon -_-

You just made me look for that anime :P

[dspr8_rugged]

Prince of tennis. Echizen is a godly prodigy.
Fuji owns. Period. :amuse

Yeah, I have to go with Detective Conan, although it gets tiring after some episodes.

[BlueCheese]

Monster, I would say.

Code Geass... Zero is not a genius....


Countries most reknowned terrorist and he has proof of who he is lying around a house for a cat to play with?

GENIUS!

Light wouldn't have done something like that.

[Narutofanboy161]

Fuji owns. Period. :amuse

Yeah, I have to go with Detective Conan, although it gets tiring after some episodes.

Hah, Echizen laughs at Fujis potential. Laughs!!!!

[Tenshodo]

Yakitate Japan... Actually, Actually, Azuma Kazuma is pretty stupid. He's just good at making bread. VERY good at making bread.

[troublesum-chan]

Monster would be a good watch.

[Gene]

Monster, I would say.

Code Geass... Zero is not a genius....


Countries most reknowned terrorist and he has proof of who he is lying around a house for a cat to play with?

GENIUS!

Light wouldn't have done something like that.

Whether he's a genius or not can be debatable I suppose. But no doubt he's a great strategist.

That was an accident though. It's not like he could have foresaw that cat taking his helmet away.

[Anime-Ai]

Im looking for some good anime here?

Ive watched zoids and naruto and a few others

Ive recently found out they might not air a new zoids or something..or later in future.

[Corum]

Try taking a look at the anime recommendations sticky, lots of great anime listed there.

http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=24190

If you like Naruto chances are you'll like Bleach, definitely worth a look. :amuse

[TenshiOni]

If you like Naruto, you'll enjoy Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, and One Piece.

Fantastic anime that aren't necessary like those but kick ass anyway include:

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Death Note
Eureka seveN
Fullmetal Alchemist

[Sean Connery]

just watched the final episode of Eureka Seven, it's been a pretty good series for 50 episodes, already own the first 6 of 12 dvd's.

[Tokio_no_Go]

Perhaps Gantz or Hikaru no Go could be worth looking at. Neither main characters are geniuses, but they become amazing.

[chrisp]

I recommend Ghost Hunt. A nice and humorous anime.

What is the name of this anime?

Do you recommend it?

This is the anime that transcends all genres and thrashes all Top-10 lists :D
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. Hilarious, mysterious, melancholic, fun, and incredibly insightful all at the same time. Not to mention the class-setting animation quality for such a series. You might want to take it slow with the episodes though; 2 viewings per episode is recommended.

[Star]

Wow great list. i've needed that for a long time. I still have to check out One Piece. I've never seen it.

Have any of you seen a show called Karin.
it's realy good.

[Jayka]

Have any of you seen a show called Karin.
it's realy good.

Karin (aka Chibi Vampire) is very nice indeed! :laugh

I would also like to recommend:
Music:
Gravitation (It's yaoi)
Nodame Cantabile (Both anime AND live action :wink)

Another anime with music is Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, but I don't like it as much as those mentioned above.

[Mat®icha]

[Zodd]

I've heard Bible Black is an excellent series. ^_^

Action with good plot: Berserk (nudity and big violence), Fullmetal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop. These three are masterpieces.

Comedy: Ouran Host Club, Samurai Champloo (action too), some people like Haruhi Suzumiya.

Death Note is a must-watch for any anime fan. Hajime no Ippo is good.

Here is a list (http://www.animenfo.com/statistic/top.php?type=anime) of good shit. But watch out because crap like Elfen Lied is top rated because it's hentai-ish. And some like Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien is emotional girl stuff.

[Elijah Snow]

I like Outlaw Star, Gungrave, and Neon Genesis Evangelion and plan to rewatch them all again soon actually. There are others, but I'm sure the other members will fill you in.

[Sawako]

You should definately watch Death Note. Maybe D.Gray-man, although I would actually recommend the manga instead. <3

And also Code Geass!!

[StarAbvMyBed]

i just finished watching Gungrave and what an amazing anime! i loved how it brought you through the rise of Harry and Brandon from the very bottom. anyways without giving any spoilers away about the story ill move on to my question...

does anyone know of any other anime like this? i havnt found any mafia/gangster anime other than this.

[Razza]

Out of those that I've seen, in particular, I'd recommend Eureka seveN and Cowboy Bebop.

[variousart]

Can somebody advise anime like The Melancholy of Harushi Suzumiya?

[kenok]

Mind Game, a great anime MOVIE which has a variety combo of Adventure, Comedy, Dementia, Romance.

-Mind Game (http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=1834)-

[hao_asakura]

well im kinda bored. anyone know a good fanservice anime? i've watched love hina and hanaukyo maid

[Fighting Spirit]

can any1 recomend a series similar to d.gray-man ,black brothers , outlawstar

Hmm not sure but Trigun maybe??

[lavi69]

i've seen trigun it was excellent, very underated i think

[nagareboshi]

I'm stuck for something to watch; anyone recommend me a good Shounen or Psychological/Horror series with 26 eps or under?

[lavi69]

black blood brothers, i dont know if it's horror but its got vampires in it and i thought it was very good

[Fighting Spirit]

i've seen trigun it was excellent, very underated i think

Agreed. It has one of the best bad guys in anime history;

Legato Bluesummers :P

[lavi69]

vash is also one of the best main characters of any anime i've seen

[Fighting Spirit]

vash is also one of the best main characters of any anime i've seen

Ah indeed he is.

Damn... I got this urge to watch Trigun again now >_<

[Miyruru-chan]

Cowboy Bebop is worth watching as well.
Trigun and CB are eternal rivals as far as i know.

[lavi69]

i'm halfway thru bebop, got to ep 18 and cant find anymore episodes

[Akatora]

I'm stuck for something to watch; anyone recommend me a good Shounen or Psychological/Horror series with 26 eps or under?

Take a look at "Ghost Hunt" pretty good For mystery/Horror (picks up through the serie)
That one is less then 26 ep.

[Katsura]

Add Eyeshield 21 to 'Sports animes'

[Miyruru-chan]

i'm halfway thru bebop, got to ep 18 and cant find anymore episodes

Hmm..Do you want direct download?Or BitComet..
It's much easier with torrents...

CB torrent that works just fine (http://torrentportal.com/details/249419/Cowboy+Bebop+DVD+COMPLETE+%281-26%29)

If you wanna dl with torrents that is ^_^.

[nehnehneji]

Haven't read through the whole thread, but going by the initial post I'd add Death Note and Lunar Legend Tsukihime.

-Wouldn't you recmmend me Onegai teacher and Twins(I saw them in your sig)I was thinking to donwload it.
-From this list I watched Girls Bravo,Ichigo 100%,Shuffle,Green Green,and i recommend it to everyone.

[Finvarra]

Well I was kind of thinking since thats in my sig so I would not need to hehe, everyone of my sigs are recomendations lol I even incude info on the anime and were to download them in my sigs lol.

But valid point hehe.

Both of the Onegai series were very good along with the ova's. But I do like them both for diffrent reasons. Twins is my faviouit, and was certainly the first one I watched.

[Razza]

Bokurano for a really Dark Drama/Mecha series.

After Death note is ended you should wait for Devil May Cry to start airing :)

[Purely Sadistic]

I recommend:

Mystery:
-Ghost Hunt

Ghost Hunt is a shoujo series and it also falls under comedy/romance as well but it's mostly mystery/horror. It is quite good despite it's name.:nod

[Daersapa]

I just finished watching Eureka Seven, all 50 episodes, and omg, i totally loved it, and i was wondering if i could get recommendations on other anime that involves Romance, little comedy, fighting, and main character development when it comes to fighting skills (i mean Rento went from CO-pilot to complete badass pilot). Please tell me if u know an anime like this please please.

[Pyrazor]

Shakugan no Shana comes to mind. Though the series doesn't start its second season until fall, it looks to me that it's heading in a similar direction.

[Six]

Just watch Code Geass and you'll be okay. :wink

[Lusankya]

Hey people, i need some help. I have this current interest in sad/depressing/tear-jerking genre of anime. It all started after i watched grave of the fireflies. Could you recommend some good ones?

[orange-kun]

Kanon (2006) :cry

[Haruno Sakura]

Socartes in Love? It's a book/manga though...

[Neverender]

Kanon (2006) :cry
Seconded, definitely.

[lavi69]

a really good anime is black blood brothers, which is an action with vampires and stuff, tengen gurran is good as well, d.gray-man is very good

[cricent]

Can somebody please recommend some animes to watch? The only one i've watched is naruto and "Tsukihime, Lunar Legend". Well i'm close to finishing it, too bad it seems its a 12 series thing =( its such a good anime imo lol, but something similair to those would be nice, thanks!

[ydraliskos]

Eureka Seven :D

That's as close to what you like while also being way too goddamn awesome to miss.

[Razza]

Wow. I'm surprised but Ydraliskos beat me to it :P

Anyway:
Samurai Champloo would be one to note.

[Vicious]

Soul taker, Tenjho Tenge, Ninja scroll, Air gear, Eureka Seven, Bio-Booster Armor Guyver, etc...

[Razza]

Thanks guys, I'll check them out. Especially Smurai Champloo - I was thinking about this one for quite some time.
I already watched about 14 eps of Eureka Seven and I'm sorry to say that I'm deeply disapointed :( . The anime seems to be all package, no content. The main hero is a total wuss I don't ever want to identify with, the first 2 eps is like EXACT retelling of the first 2 eps of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and later it only gets worse - the series is just a bag of all anime clishes. And after 14 eps I still don't know anything, because all characters ever say is "oh its that" "yes its THAT" "So you know, that time" "Yes that thing". Too bad, because I really like the feel of the weird planet and the world the characters lived in.

Tenjou Tenge first 2 eps was awesome, but later it started with flashbacks in flashbacks and some inuntersting blabber and it turned out to be one overrated bore.

Keep in mind, that those are just my opinions and I don't meen to hurt anyone's feelings or tell them that their taste in anime is bud. Just trying to make a discussion.

Anyway thanks for the recommendations, I'll chech them out. You can keep them comming if something really good pops into your mind.

First 10 episodes are generally considered to be the most boring anyway. Honestly, the plot doesn't start until 11 I'd say and the main conflict doesn't start until 26 I'd say. After that it just gets increasingly amazing. I'd give it a second go if I were you.

[Gohan]

Any recommendations for anime?

I like popular and interesting ones.

I really liked and ofund them awesome, the episodes of naruto b4 filler, death note, bleach soul society.

One piece only the last 2 arcs were really good for me the other arcs were bad to mediocre.

Hunter X Hunter was interesting although i didnt really like the fight scenes, some were good but none were awesome like Rock Lee vs Gaara fight or Kakashi vs Zabuza, Ichigo vs Byakuya.

Ive also watch code geass (not a fan of mech anime) but it was good not great.

Fumoffo was funny and good and so was the beginning of FMP. The rest was ok but story line abit cliched.

Ive watched 10 eps of claymore and it seems good but still not the awesome factor since its kinda cliched and fights too simple as well althought its good because it falls into the interesting category.

Ive watched Monster the first 10 eps or so and didnt really like it, too realistic and not very exciting/interesting.

I liked kenshin during the shishio arc. And the trust betrayal ova was good but wasn't awesome.

So after reading this wierd/WTF examples of what i like, anyone got any recommendations for me? The reason i wrote all this is because im not really sure what is it that i exactly like if i say it in terms of genre alone, thought it would be easier if i gave my log on the anime i watch.

[Marl]

Could someone recommend me an anime set during the bakumatsu that ISN'T Rurouni Kenshin or Peacemaker Kurogane? Please.

Basically, I need moar Shinsengumi! ^^

Must have Shinsengumi, or you must commit seppuku! =O

Might want to check out Hellsing? Everyone luvs Alucard. Watch the OVAs if you can - the series deviates from the manga after a while (episode 8?) and starts going silly.

[lavi69]

black blood brothers is good, you should definatly watch d.gray-man and tengen toppa gurren lagann, wolf's rain cowboy bebop and samurai champloo and outlaw star are all must watches

[megasajan]

No one mentioned it yet...sadly :cry

The Last Unicorn

Anime Ova (if you can call it that) that came out 1982,based on the Novel from "Peter S. Beagle". Animation and Charachter Design was made by the Japanese artists who went on to become the core of Studio Ghibli (to lazy to check the Guys name :P ) and Soundtrack by the Band "America".

Tragic,Fantasy,Romance (sort of...),

Never seen an Anime with more Feelings put into a single Movie. Hard to explain,but i dare to say its my Number 1....and NGE is Number 2,if you know what i mean :nod

Thnx for the suggestions, although tengen toppa is a mech anime and im not really a fan of mech animes. But its really popular as i can see in the forum and i tend to like the popular ones for some reason (besides Melancholoy of HS) so i guess ill give that a try.

Ive watched 3 eps of d.gray-man, so far theres not really much variety to how he kills them demons/ghosts. The rest sound good, ive heard good things about Bebop, although i dont know about sumari champloo, do you think its better than kenshin?

[Gohan]

Hey, im sorta low on bandwidth since i have to share it with other people, so i can only download one batch of anime.

If i had to choose one which one would you recommend.

- Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann

- Darker than BLACK - Kuro no Keiyakusha

- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai

- Basilisk


IF you want to know some info about what i like then:
I havn't watched alot of anime but my favourites in order are:

DBZ

Bleach soul society arc, Naruto b4 fillers, Deathnote before Yotsuba Company saga, One Piece last 2 arcs from anime (didnt like beginning), Akagi. (equal)

Kenshin Shishio Arc

Hunter X Hunter, Code Geas

Fumoffu



Hikaru No Go, Claymore










Monster, Blood +



















Pokemon and other crap animes.

[The Rook]

Download the first episode of TTGL, and then make your choice. (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A70U7DET)

[Hype]

TTGL

Comedy , fantastic characters , baddass as hell. Nice action very fast paced so you dont get the normal boring episodes that come with the majority of animes.

Also easy to aquire as a fair few on here upload the anime myeself included

[Scum]

I'll take the other option and tell you to watch Code Geass (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=135603). A great plot, vast array of characters and a good pace too. Most of the episodes are already out.

[Lord Yu]

Join the Dai Gurren-dan today! Watch Gurren Lagann. Best fucking show of the season. It even coerced me into watching it raw.(which rarely happens.)

[Voynich]

Go with Gurren Lagann. I personally think it's shite, but 80% of the forum seems to love it.

[Captain Pimp]

Darker than Black is interesting. Basilisk is a win. But as others have said,

go for Gurren Lagann :nod

[Pimp of Pimps]

out of those, Gurren Lagann

[Lo$tris]

Watch Code Geass...one of the best animes.

[QBnoYouko]

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai isn't even out yet. But yeah, the forums is greatly influenced by Gurren-Lagann which isn't so bad as long as they don't overhype it.

[Uzumaki~Kakashi]

TTGL is alright but it's a kids show with the same general plot happening every episode.

1. Bad guy comes
2. Bad guy fights
3. Bad guy gets his ass handed to him
4. Explosions....
5. Credits Role.:)

Since you watch lots of shounen it's probably the best choice for you. Even though its not exactly the best show...

[Portgas D. Ace]

Gurren Lagann FTW

[The Rook]

Someone has an overinflated opinion of himself. (Or you are trying to find satisfaction out of being "mature" which would imply a crappy self-image)


Gurren-Lagann is lighthearted fast-paced and full of countless fight scenes. If you want to consider that childish, then go for it. But if you want to take that at face value, then you see exactly what your getting. If you want those qualities in an anime, then go ahead and watch it, regardless of age. We have way too many age based generalizations.

[Robotkiller]

Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is sure to be worth your time >:3

[Taxman]

RECOMMENDATION THREAD HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

(moves)

[TWF]

I'd recommend Karas and Ghost in A Shell/Stand Alone Complex.

[Gohan]

lol although im not a fan of mech anime, Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann IT IS.

Thnx for the help people :amuse

[Janamill]

Action/Story
Scrapped Princess

Very very good anime. It started off weird, just about a brother and sister protecting the little sister, then she finds out shes "the poison that will destroy the world" then the story gets deeper and deeper, then you look back and remember. Thats all there was in ep 2? wow, this story really got big. Anyway, its only about 24 episodes and it is GREAT

[JokerZZZ]

I need some thriller/action type of animes. I like Yakuza storys and it can get a lil sick...Im ok with that.

So far I LOVE Black Lagoon and am downloading darker than black and I cant wait to see it. I still need to find MY perfect anime.

I need some really good Animes. Im not into these Mech Animes. I dont like them. New shounen ones are reat as well but please no Bleach and One Piece. I know them already.

[~Shin~]

Does anybody know a good horror anime?
Demon prince enma
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2023048731

But i cant find any downloads for it:cry

Also, Mushishi is a new horror anime which looks pretty good.

Blood Reign -Curse of the Yoma is a old horror anime that i really enjoy:amuse

Oh, another anime that i recommend which isnt a horror anime but it's very unique and enjoyable to watch. It's called Kurau.

[ナルヒナ]

Can some members post a few nice romance animes please?

I checked the recommend an anime thread, but the ones there in romance category were like DearS and stuff.. And DearS isn't romance.. but more supernatural, comedy.

Romance like kissing, relationships, etc, etc.
Not shyly looking at someone then blushing and stuff..

[Jayka]

Anything of Yuu Watase will do, like Fushigi Yugi (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=178) and Ayashi no Ceres (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=12). Love has a great focus in her work.
There's also Kare Kano (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=392), Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2570)(/Rumbling Hearts),Gravitation (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=624)(!!boylove!!), Marmalade Boy (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=461) (though the anime is a bit over the top, to many pairings in it, I prefer the manga of this series) and Onegai Teacher (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=386).

There are more titles in this post (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?p=8899771#post8899771).

[ナルヒナ]

Onegai Teacher and Kare Kano look alright. None are like.. lovey lovey anime, but I guess nobody in this forum watches anime of that genre.
So I'll download ONegai teacher and Kare kano to see if it's any good. ^^

Oh, and about that list..
That's what I was sort of talking about..
The ones I saw in that list are: Fruits basket, Love hina, Karin, Ranma 1/2, Shakugan no shana.
All of them weren't romance anime, but comedy, action, and/or supernatural.
Ai Yori Aoishi was starting to be a sort of romance anime, but turned into a comedy with romance scenes.. So I guess that's the best there is, huh?
Like there is no romance anime just about romance?
It always has to have a little amount of romance, and the rest is either comedy, and/or action?

[BlueCheese]

Bokura ga Ita comes to mind maybe. It does have a bit of the whole blushing thing but it does get serious too.

I think there are possibly more manga like that, stuff like Kimi Kara no Resume maybe.

[TrueAlchemist]

Fushigi Yugi and Ayashi no Ceres are not romantic animes.
Well, you can see it as romantic in one way, but its genre was fantasy.
They were written as shojo (girls) manga, but many male fans read them because of its strong fantasy / action element. They have 80% of action and about 20% of romance I think.

Kare Kano is not bad.
But, If you are not familiar with Japanese school system, it might confuse you.

There are some romactic animes, but just cannot remember.
You should check out Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.
It is very sad love story and has good music, too.

another things you should check out, are
1. Ai Yori Aoshi, it is very famous. "one man vs. many girls theme" is inside. also has a good plot
2. Ah, megaimi sama. (oh my godness) is comedy + love theme .
really good to watch
3. Boys be. It is based on famouse Japanese romactic manga. if you really like romance, you should check it out.
4. Chobits. It has mecha theme. But, it also has elements of love.
5. D.C. ~Da Capo is also famouse one, did not watch it but it has many sequels. should check out, too.
6. Final Approach. it is good. very funny. it is romantic comedy. if you have some free time, it would be good to watch.
7. Girls Bravo. it is romantic comedy anime. it is very funny and also has some nudities, too. but very fun to watch. many guys will like it more than women, but it is fun.
8. Ichigo 100%, it is 100% romantic anime. based on famouse Japanese manga. there are both T.V. and O.V.A.
9. Kanon. it is very famouse and pure romantic anime.
10. Kimagure orange road. it is old anme but it is also pure romantic anime.
11. Lamune. Personally, I did not like it because it only has romantic themes and its comedy elements were not exciting. but it is good to watch.
12. Maison Ikkoku, it is also pure romantic anime. I thinkt it is made by Ranma's writer. But, does not have as many comedy elements as ranma. It has more romantic in it.
13. Midori no Hibi. it is 70% comedy +10% action + 20 % romance. it is really good to watch.
14. Narue No Sekai. it is good comedy romance anime.

Well, let me stop at this point.
Have fun with these anime :)

[Yagami]

Maybe u should look into these and see if u like one them.

Shuffle!,Canvas 2,Victorian Romance Emma,Honey and Clover,Honey and Clover 2.

[King_Jaye]

Okay, everyone. I've narrowed it down to five animes to replace the soon ending Death Note.

My choices are:
Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann
Darker than Black
Fate Stay/Night
Claymore
Black Blood Brothers

Any compairisons between these anime, or ideas on what I should start to download will be greatly appreciated(and given good reps.) Thanks in advance for helping me make this extreamly important decision. LoL

[Wesley]

I'd say Black Blood Brothers. Or Fate/Stay Night. One of those.

[Finvarra]

Probaly out of that list any of:-

Darker than Black (I am a bit behind on this one, but its a very good story.)
Fate Stay/Night (Finished so probaly best choice to watch if you have plenty of free time.(This is probaly one of my faviouit of all time animes.)
Claymore (On running and exceptional)

would be good.

Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is good, but diffrent style anime.

Black Blood Brothers (Not watched so cant comment.)

[Nisukeita]

WATCH EM ALL!!!

BBB not seen so no comment

Darker than Black I dropped

Fate stay night is fantastic but its a anime you can pick up at any point given how it finished a few year ago

So its Claymore or TTGL which is too hard to call I would really recommend given them both a shot as they are the 2 most discussed animes on here at the moment

It takes a while to develop, and I can't say it's the main focus necessarily (well, maybe sorta, heh), but Blood+ is very romantic - I wouldn't say it's "a romance" at all though. But that part of the story is what I found most poignant.

For me - can anyone recommend something along the vein of Blood+? It's my favorite anime, and I am wondering about Basilisk? If you've watched these and have any thoughts, let me know :)

Okay, everyone. I've narrowed it down to five animes to replace the soon ending Death Note.

My choices are:
Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann
Darker than Black
Fate Stay/Night
Claymore
Black Blood Brothers

Any compairisons between these anime, or ideas on what I should start to download will be greatly appreciated(and given good reps.) Thanks in advance for helping me make this extreamly important decision. LoLGo with Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann.

[Nisukeita]

Also, Mushishi is a new horror anime which looks pretty good.


Mushishi is definitely NOT horror, I think your getting it mixed up with that new series dealing with Mushi....its not Mushishi though.....

I only seen a few episodes though.

[MissTorhuHonda]

I don't see this anywhere-Ouran High School Host Club. It's dramaric/romance, I highly recomend it for any School Rumble fans out there.

[Yagami]

If you have not seen Eureka seven then I highly recommend it. Just like Blood+ it takes a while for the romance to devolep but it's done very well. The romance is a small part of Eureka 7 put it's what made me love the show and I loved the soundtrack(First and only anime ost that I downloaded).

Great story, Great character development, great action, great music.

I've seen Basilisk. It startet well but it was very disappointing at the end.

That's odd. I felt that the romance in E7 developed rather quickly. Then again, it was one-sided for quite some time. If that's what you mean, then you're right. :sweatdrop

Here's a short list of the many anime I've seen that kept me entertained enough to recommend them, a couple with explanations:

Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann: It's a fairly new series, but awesome none-the-less.

Inuyasha: I'm not recommending the anime so much as the manga. The anime was short-lived at 167 episodes and cancelled near halfway through the manga, but the series itself is chock-full of romance, drama, comedy, intense love triangles, and is rather dark at times. However, this is pretty much a fight-every-episode kind of show. (Although, girls like me were kept entertained. Why can't you? <3)


Great music
Lots of fighting (for the shounen junkies)
Romance and fluff (for the romance junkies <33)
Drama galore


Eureka Seven: Fantastic in every way. Only 50 episodes long, but not a single one let me down. Made my brain hurt at times with the high-tech language, but this one is a definite must for all anime fans.


Great music
Good amount of fighting (enough for everyone!)
Romance and fluff
Drama


Ranma 1/2: Very cute. 1980's anime (by the same creator of "Inuyasha") with a creative idea and likeable characters.


Romance and fluff
Martial arts (down-to-earth stuff)


Death Note: Not one of my all-time favorites, but kept me entertained none-the-less. L made it worth it <3

Chobits.

Ouran High School Host Club: I'm not usually big on the high school animes, but I made an exception for this one. Fannnntastic.

The Vision of Escaflowne.
Fullmetal Alchemist.
KIBA.
.hack//sign.
Star Ocean EX
Trigun.
FLCL.

This is all simply IMO, but I figured it might just help someone out.

[cricent]

Watch Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann right now. I mean you should have been watching it 13 weeks ago, but now is your chance to make peace with the world. I have links for the entire series in my sig.

It airs every Saturday. You can expect a sub every Sunday from anon. Like I said I have all the episodes in my sig, but if you want more recommendations, then I would suggest you try to Claymore links for sure.

[Chronz]

I'm so glad I started to watch Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann. I'm upto the 4th episode and loving every bit of it.

[P3RFECT]

CLAYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kasi]

Well, Death Note's finished and now there's only Shippuden for me to watch.

Any recommendations? Here's a list of a few I've watched through and enjoyed;

Naruto
Death Note
Ginga Densetsu Weed
FullMetal Alchemist
Rozen Maiden (all series)
Trinity Blood

I don't like mecha, too much romance, or too much sci-fi :)

I've recommending Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann to a couple people who said they don't like mecha anime, but so far all of them have made an exception for it. You really should give it atleast a three episode trial first. :wink

My other really strong recommendation would be Claymore. It's a beautifully drawn anime. I don't care much for the genre it's in, but I've made an exception for this show.

I have links for all the episodes of both series in my sig. I have links to many other series, and would recommend all of them.

[Scum]

if anyone can recommend me a show that's unknown - any genre - that would be great.

[Redse]

I have a community and death notes gone now :cry

I was looking around for some anime which would be able to replace death note.

At the moment I've got :

Naruto
Bleach
One Piece and
Tengen Toppa Gurren - Lagann

I was wondering whats out there which people would like. I've been recommended

Kaze no Stigma
Darker than Black
D.Gray-man

Which one would you think we be more intresting if any for a community? If you got another idea please give me a go. :nod

Im looking for some new animes as well.

Im loving naruto, bleach, deathnote and used to love dragonballz as well. I've watched several other animes but Im looking for animes that resemble these a little. Im quite fond of animes that have a lot of episodes cause I hate almost every ending (books/movies/animes), therefor its best to delay it as much as possible by having an anime with a lot of episodes.

If anyone could recommend me an anime that looked slightly like the ones I mentioned above I'd be in heaven!

One piece maybe?

[spaZ]

does anyone know of any good horror type anime or something with lots of action in it?

[Hype]

Hellsing OVA

3 out at the moment around 40 mins each they follow the manga and are stunning ti view.

Theres also a 13 ep series out which drifts from the manga and its hit and miss but the OVA series is amazing

[pek]

Hm...need a new anime to watch.

watched too many to name really but those I enjoyed are:
hxh, kenshin, slam dunk, hajime no ippo, berserk, school rumble s1/s2, gseed, gseed destiny - don't be hating >_> - , hikaru no go ....and so on.

Yes, I know about all the new animes like Claymore, Gurren Lagann, Darker then Black etc and I find them... pretty boring tbh. Gurren Lagann have made me grin a few times but I'd rather rewatch blood + then watch Claymore and Darker then black tbh. I don't understand why people name these animes when people give a list and ask for something similar...Cuz claymore is nothing like Naruto or Bleach, yet I see people recommend it to people who ask for an anime like "naruto or bleach".

I want an older anime, one that makes you want to watch next episode before you even start on one. Interesting character, comedy (doesn't have to), no shoujo or loliconish animes, decent plot.

[The Rook]

Don't supposed you've seen Aim for the Top!? :laugh

[Captain Pimp]

I recommend Scrapped Princess :vegetant

[Scum]

two old shows to consider: Shadow Skill which is a shonen and Infinite Ryvius a mecha/adventure/sci-fi type show >_>

One recent but relatively unknown show to consider: Kemonozume. <- Ownage

By any chance can anyone recommend me an unknown series? :|

[troqu]

Am looking for a new anime (or a few, the more the better :D) to watch that is similar to Urusei Yatsura and Inukami!
The kinds that have like and indestructible main character that gets beat up alot for acting/being forced into situations that are perverted.
thanks in advance

[Jayka]

The kinds that have like and indestructible main character that gets beat up alot for acting/being forced into situations that are perverted.
After reading this part I have to say Love Hina (http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,242,jqhwyg,love_hina.html) :laugh
You could also try Amaenaideyo!! (http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,1734,uprrgd,amaenaideyo__.html) (don't know this one myself, but I've heard of it) and Mahoromatic (http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,254,cjnqfr,mahoromatic.html) (though there's not much of beating up in this series, at least not that I remember)

[WhiteCherryBlossom]

Pah! Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins should be on the list. They're friggen hilarious!

[sceeZer]

I'm trying to find a new series along the lines of naruto/bleach. fancy/cool powers and so on.

Although it's one season(26 episodes and 3 OVAs), watch Shadow Skill if you like Bleach because they have great fighting techniques in Shadow Skill. If you don't want to start DLing right away, you can stream the first few episodes online since i've uploaded them to veoh.com >_>

[Vicious]

Thanks but I've already seen those and am a big fan of Ikki Tousen :sag
Oh wow, but have u seen Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny:sag

or you can try Oh! My Goddess, Kannazuki no miko or Soul Taker :sag

I really recommend Oh! My Goddess the movie to :D.

[Scum]

yep already seen second season, i have all the episodes too :woo if you look in the Ikki Tousen: Dragon Destiny Thread i''ve posted in there numerous times. I've watched Ah! My Goddess too...as well as reading a bit into the manga :o I haven't seen the movie though so that might be something to consider when i'm bored again.

Thanks for reminding me of Soul Taker though, that was a show I started many months ago but forgot about. Actually, same for Kannazuki no Miko too :laugh So thanks for reminding me to watch both!

[HugMe]

I've never seen School Rumble, but it is some high school/comedy/romance right? Have you seen Ouran High School Host Club (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6122)? If not, then you certainly should! smile-big
I can also recommend you Karin (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5949).

[Takuto]

Hmm ok, i'm looking for a good anime to watch, preferably one that's already finished so i can watch through the whole series, one that's a romantic or romantic/comedy that's light hearted and not too sad. Would like one thats got a very good story, something like 2 people seperated at childhood or sometime in there lives and it follows though that character on his quest to find him/her. Prefere a happy ending too heh.

Already seen Full Moon so no need to recommend that, which was good.

King of Hell. Read that

Shadow Skill. Watch that. I consider it sort of Bleach/narutoish.

Black Blood Brothers and Black Cat might also be a good watch for you.

[~Shin~]

Just a little question, is King of Hell shounen or seinen?

I'll check out Shadow Skill.

[Scum]

I'd say it's more shonen-esque

[Vicious]

King of Fighters is a good action anime.

@Firemind, you havent watched Karas yet?
