I don't know I can't find anything interesting to watch with anime. Just need to watch something so awesome that it will blow my mind. So any anime worth watching that you can call awesome? :)
-
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
We're done here.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Add Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica to that list.

Can you maybe explain what kind of genres or themes you like, and what some of your favorite movies and TV series have been? Just asking "give me good titles k thanks" doesn't give people a lot to go on.
-
Well I recently watched Groundhog day on youtube. The movie is really good though. TV series? There was YuYu Hakusho which I loved and Roushin ken. Maybe give me a show to think about. Something with an awesome message to show me so that I can go through reality better. Depressing shows I don't want to touch unless maybe I'm severely depress. I would say a show I can learn something from with awesome scenes. Yeah maybe something like that. :derp:
-
FMA Brotherhood
Baccano!
Death Note
Steins;Gate
Code Geass
Neon Genesis Evangelion
FLCL
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha

Oh yeah Gurren Lagann. Is that show good? I thought it was too cheesy with "My drill will pierce the heavens." meme. What message could they possibly conveyed with a drill? Sorry if I offended anyone I just want if the show's not a generic mech anime. :derp:
-
Is that show good?
yes
I thought it was too cheesy with "My drill will pierce the heavens." meme.
it is not a meme, but it is cheesy (in the most badass way you can think of?)
What message could they possibly conveyed with a drill?
if you watch you will understand
I just want if the show's not a generic mech anime.
not sure what you mean by generic mech anime, and your credibility heavily depends on how many mecha anime you've already watched
Now I'm more concerned that you've been spoiled already, and have been tainted by TVTropes (which you seem to have come from).
-
You know generic like how the main character is all whiny and never gets anything done. Come on you know that character that had something bad happen to them then they become all emo and depress. I really don't want to watch a show where they get nothing done and be depressing.
-
I'm sorry if anyone disagrees, but TTGL is very, very good compared to most mecha anime.
Give it a spin before you start judging it.
:P
-
Well Gurren Lagann it is. May have to marathon this when I have the time then I heard there's the movies. Well going to have to get use to that cheesy phrase "My drill will pierce the heavens. Who knows maybe the message is uplifting and would make me do awesome things. Yeah any other happy animes you guys got? :)
-
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is awesome - gave me goosebumps all the way. I don't generally watch mecha genre animes but Tengen Toppa is one of the few exceptions that I watched and liked (so are Code Geass, Eureka 7, and Evangelion).
-
Gurren Lagann is incredible and nowhere near a 'generic' mecha anime what is this blasphemy you speak of ???
I'd also add Gunbuster (and Diebuster) to the list if you liked that, as well as Eureka Seven.
Also, Revolutionary Girl Utena and Mawaru Penguindrum are fantastic and mindblowing.
I'll also second Baccano!, Evangelion, FLCL, Nanoha, and Madoka as well.
-
I know this isn't an anime, but I am totally serious about this.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
It fits all the requirements
Also, Gurren Lagann
AHHHH STOP CUTTING ME
-
You know generic like how the main character is all whiny and never gets anything done.
I like the part where Simon and Kamina are the exact opposite of this
Also I know some people who will hate me for this, but add To Aru Majutsu no Index to that list.
Because if Kamijou Touma isn't badass, I don't know what that is. I mean seriously, he solves everything with punches to the face.
-
Too much Gurren Lagann and not enough Gunbuster. Gunbuster is not only the better series, but it's also only six episodes so you don't have to spend too much time on it, and it's still incredibly relevant despite being made in the late eighties. Also, you'll never really truly "get" Gurren Lagann or Evangelion if you haven't seen where it all came from, and pretty much most of the stuff Gainax has done can be traced back to Gunbuster.
Also it has a 250 meter tall robot doing alien armada crushing flying kicks, what more do you want?
Also, Magical Project S. If you want to understand the magical girl genre, watch this and not Madoka. Madoka's a good show, but it's not a very good representation of the genre as a whole. >.>

Card Captor Sakura is the exact definition of a Magical Girl anime, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica is not (or it's not supposed to, anyway).
It's supposed to be wonderful and mindfucking in it's own fantastic way.~
I hear Nichijou is a hilarious slice-of-life anime, though I've never really given it a try.
How good is it?

I'm pretty sure Madoka is meant to be a deconstruction of the genre.

Exactly. I just didn't want to give that away. :3
-

It's hilarious.
Also, Madoka is a great series. I don't know why magic girl purists have a problem with it. It has all the classic elements of the genre, but expands upon it, before taking it completely apart. I have seldom seen a work within a particular genre able to examine and represent said genre so effectively.
As far as recommendations that haven't been made yet go - keeping your tastes in mind - I'd also recommend Rozen Maiden, Eden of the East, Fractale and Paranoia Agent.
-
I have no problem with Madoka. It's a great series and I think everyone should watch it. The only real problem I have with it is when people start going on about it being the best magical girl series ever, despite never actually having seen anything else in the genre. Or when they think it's good because it's "dark", and that it's "realistic" because horrible things happen to some of the characters. Hurm... I guess it's because, whilst a lot of the fanbase are intelligent people who like it for the reasons Ammy mentioned, there's also a sizable portion who are, um... Let's just say we don't exactly see eye to eye about things and leave it at that.
Ahem. Uh... Anyways, back on topic, um... Did anyone mention Excel Saga yet? Because I don't think there's ever been as amazingly hilarious a skewering of the medium of anime as it, and I'm not just saying that because it's my favourite anime.

I think we're forgetting Gainax's best show BV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfH5BnFrsmM&feature=g-u-u&context=G2ea869eFUAAAAAAAAAA)

No, we already mentioned Gunbuster. :trollface:
(Seriously though PSG is pretty awesome if you can put up with the toilet humour. So if you can, uh, go check it out. >.>)
-
I do not at all favor the toilet humor. If you are a posh and elegant sort like myself, you can safely skip it. Ohhohoho~
My personal single greatest recommendation has to be Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. It's a wonderful work of satire, and while all 40+ episodes may seem daunting, they are all very much worth watching if you are into that kind of thing.

Well, the more recommendations, the merrier, so, feel free to add some of your own.
-
I'm in despair! This recommendations thread has left me in despair!
1. Attempt suicide
2. Almost get killed by someone else
3. "What if I had died?"
4. Comment on the faults of today's culture
E: On the subject of recommendations, I say Hayate the Combat Butler. It's easily my favorite show of all time.
-
I'd recommend the Kara no Kyoukai movies. It's got a good mixture of talking+action. The atmosphere's really well done too.

INAZUMMMMAAAA KIIIIICKKKKK
After you are done with Gunbuster, do not watch Gunbuster 2, it is not worth it, instead skip back to the currently running Rinne no Lagrange, AKA Gunbuster x Macross x Gundam.
Also, one of my choice watches for all years/all previous years seriously has to be Onegai Teacher, now this is a lighthearted, easy relax romance show between an alien teacher and a student (currently being copied to death/parallel story-telling by a similiar plot/character show called Ano Natsu). It has what I would call, for the first time in many anime I watched with a fresh and distinctive NOT in the city high school, a bunch of friends who gather for what I can only say not pretentious/some kinda generic sidekick/some kinda additional tsundere + a bunch of irrelevant characters friendship. It is a show where you can really like the characters for being natural as they were, somehow... it carried a different light hearted flavor quite unfounded in any of the romance/harem/dating sim based anime.
If you liked this I suppose the fan-servicey Onegai Twins is also worth a watch, but I don't like it as much as Onegai Teacher.
If we are talking about some oldie goldie, I think GTO the animation was considered one of the best in the old days, I would say it is entertaining and worth your time, although yes, the manga was clearly superior.
Are we talking about action?blood? gore?
I have heard no mention in this thread so far of HELLSING ULTIMATE - the OVAs , there is nothing to say here, just why are you NOT FUCKING WATCHING ALUCARD RAPE DEATH IN THE FACE AND THEN RAPE REALITY IN THE ASS TWICE is kinda like asking why not let's breathe carbon monoxide instead of oxygen. It is kinda a must.
Aside from this, I highly recommend catching up with Black Lagoon, both Roberta's trail and the original series; also Darker than Black AKA Chinese Electric Batman - The Show.

ahahaha what are you talking about, Gunbuster 2 was fantastic and finished the story of the first-- you're throwing the impact of a 20-year split between series away if you just skip it
also grooooooooovin' magic ♫

If you follow this advice without prior knowledge of the Nasuverse, prepare to be mindfucked. Hard.
-
I dropped Hayate on like episode twenty something
Was a bit ago so I don't quite remember, but I'm p sure it's becaus eit felt like so much potential down the drain

you gotta admit it wasn't as good as the original.
or maybe you genuinely like it, I sure as hell didn't like it.
-
Berserk and Elfen Lied quickly come to mind. Both very NSFW with gratuitous amounts of violence. Berserk is nearly the epitome of badass, and Elfen Lied is somewhat of a slasher/drama/action if the philisophical subtexts are ignored (or maybe I'm reading too much into the whole, "What is a human?" thing.)
-

Not as good as the original? Maybe. Worth putting down someone's suggestion just because you didn't like it? Hell no.
-
Can't believe nobody has mentioned fate zero. Is that show good?
-
I don't recommend anime adaptations of visual novels on principle. I always try to refer people to the original instead, but yeah. Fate Zero is good.
-
Yah well, sorry. But it really is a terrible follow up. I just didn't think it was worthy at all.
The again, I suppose tthere are few handful of shows that actually had a sequel 20 years later
but most importantly, I apologize, I didn't meant that quote in an offensive way, Mats, I think it could have been worded as 'I just don't quite agree with it as a sequel, but it is fine if you like it, I am not gonna bite you for that.' head is in the gutter for working all day long. :<
-

I hate this comparison. Visual novels and anime are each a different medium.
The comparison isn't valid as "how good an anime this is, compared to anime in general", only as "how good it is in relation to the original VN", thus only applicable to people who would both play the game and watch the anime.
In a conversation regarding anime recommendations, I guess the standalone quality of the anime regardless of whatever the hell it's an adaptation of, should take priority.
-
Yeah, I'd definitely agree with you there - reminds me of the ol' Book v. Movie arguments.
Of course, a bunch of people told me not to watch Fate Zero if I hadn't done the VN, due to references/things I would need to know to understand the anime. Which seems like a valid reason.
-

More or less this. I don't have problems with adaptations, but it's just in my experience that animes don't have the feel of a VN. I had problems with the Harry Potter movies because I read the books before; the movies themselves were fine, but I just had problems watching them objectively. There's just a lot of crap that's easy to miss when you watch animated or live adaptations because of time constraints, and then pacing gets weireded up...
Well, yeah. My fault really. I shouldn't cut out Fate/Zero because it's an adaptation, but the point about references above is valid. There are lots of intricacies to nasuverse that are hard to get if you watch the anime. UBW movie for example was just plain fanservice for people who've played UBW, imo.
-
Fate/Zero was never a visual novel anyways. It was a regular paper-based novel. And as a fan of the original novel, I have to say that if anything the anime stands up pretty well to it, even surpassing it at points. I'm still waiting to see how it handles the insanity of the second half before I start saying that the anime is better than the novel, but if it keeps up the level of quality it had in the first series than thre's a good chance it might completely blow the original out of the water. But we shall see.

Huh. Well, that's good to know. Might then have something to watch this dismal spring.
-
Ugghhh this spring. I was gonna watch Mono/Nisogonomanmgewgmatari (sp?) to pass the time, but I might pick up Fate/Zero too.
-
everybody already mentioned pretty much everything I would have mentioned :c
still, gonna recommend Chi's Sweet Home and (first season only) of Minami-ke.
-
Well, I would normally recommend Fate/Zero since I think it's fantastic, but if you haven't read or watched Fate/stay night you'd miss out on some things. The problem is, the fate/stay night anime adaption wasn't very good, and I don't want to recommend someone to sit through all 24 episodes of that. I know there's a 2-hour condense version of the FSN anime, so if you just want to get the gist of what happened you could watch that. Usually I'd recommend reading the FSN visual novel if you have some free time, but obviously not everyone does. If you really don't care about what happened in FSN, you could go straight into Fate/Zero itself; the first episode is a pretty good introduction for new viewers. But like I said, there'll be a few things you'd miss out on.
On another note, if you're looking for a show in the comedy/romance/high school genre, I'd recommend Toradora.
-
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Welcome to the NHK. Is the show depressing or hilarious? Or is it both?
-

It is both. It's an absolutely brilliant series. But you said you didn't want characters who were depressed. Well, the MC of this series has depression in spades. But he also has a tiny little ember of hope inside him that gets slowly fanned to life and- seriously, just watch it.
-

This.
Also the OP is ridiculously catchy.
-
I tried NHK once, ages ago, dropped. I don't think I was in a very good mood then though.
Last year I started on the manga though, and was absolutely loving it. Then I ran out of money. FML.
-
Durarara!!. It's a really quirky action/drama with a great story. It's also got a headless rider, a bartender with the most amazing short temper you've ever seen, and a black guy... who's Russian... who lives in Japan... and works as a sushi shop advertiser.
If you want something that'll make you laugh, watch Sora no Otoshimono. It's mostly a fanservice (there is a shit ton of fanservice) but I loved it. I haven't seen all of Nichijou, but the first 3 episodes made me laugh harder than I had in a long time... I really have to get back to that.
(I know it's not an actual anime, but I'm bringing it up anyways because yes.)
If you want something really amazing with a great story, beautifully animated fight scenes, but still light-hearted and funny, go with Avatar: The Last Airbender. I fell in love with the series all over again after I popped in the first dvd because nothing good was on TV. I spent 4 days doing nothing else but rewatching the series. I'm still amazed that something of that caliber was aired on Nickelodeon. It's in English, yes, but I'm going to assume that's not a problem. I found the voice acting to be top-notch, anyways.
-
Well Toradora! is my personal favourite, so there's no reason I wouldn't recommend that, unless you hate the slice-of-life genre.
I definitely recommend Steins;Gate. It was easily the best anime of 2011 (in my opinion).
Fate/Zero is also pretty good, but you'll be waiting for the second half (Fate/Zero 2) until April.
If you're looking for something funny then Excel Saga and Nichijou are way out there.
Or if you've seen Fate/stay Night and Shigetsutan Tsukihime then Carnival Phantasm is really funny as well.
Of course it's easier to recommend something if I'm given a genre (or some basis).
-
Wow nobody has mentioned American Animation at all. Kind of makes me sad that America has no animation for teenagers and adults. It's all for kids and there's no variety if it does get aired for older audiences. Also what I find funny is that Avatar the Last Airbender is also in Japanese http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BftVYrTSaZ0. :V Great series by the way only problem is have trouble finding the Japanese version as I believe it's only for people with special cable in Japanese. I may have to check that series out as it is indeed awesome.
Anybody out there to prove me wrong is there a American series that is awesome as Avatar out there? :derp:
-
Wow nobody has mentioned American Animation at all.
That is because the thread title is "Anime Recommendations" not "Cartoon Recommendations" or "Recommend me any form of animation"
-
Oh come on it's the same in a way. I still consider it the same since it's still animation. Even Japanese people call our "cartoons" anime because that's what they call a moving cartoon since it's easier to say. I thought other people would think the same thing but I guess my bad. :V

Yes, but you do know the standard usage; that if you ask for "anime recommendations", people are going to take this to mean animation from Japan, yeah? I mean it's not unreasonable to expect these are the recommendations you got.
-
Especially since we're using the English language.
-
Good point guess I'll remember that for next time. anyways know any good "Cartoons" at all? :derp:

* cough this thread over here cough whinny * (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,10832.0.html) (click!)
Seriously, though. Ponies may be for you.
And some other shows on the Hub are pretty good, too.
Also Avatar the Last Airbender is good (except the movie).
Other than that, I dunno. Most of the good cartoons have long since left this mortal plane.
-
Personally I can never quite put where Gundam and Transformers belong too, I thought Gundam was very cartoon like, but then Transformers also have very anime qualities.
Adding to a list of recommended shows:
Yesterday we were talking about cooking shows, and this COOKING MASTER BOY came to the topic and I was nostalgia'd.
For a 1995-ish anime this is quite aged, but all cooking anime aside, there is hardly a long running one where frying pans and woks are filled with disco lights and rainbows, while time traveling across China and making Tofu enough to kill emperors (via tastebud explosion) with a host of similiarly crazier cooking characters who duel it out in a battle of the chefs thing that involves enemies kidnapping, stealing your food etc...
It is basically iron Chef, but anime form with all its tricks. It is probably side by side with some of the crazy cooking shows about like Yakitate Japan.
and speaking of aged oldies, I didn't think Ranma 1/2 was pretty good on the anime side, wished those chop solid colors were not so ugh, but then for a show that age, I guess you can't expect much. It is still funny though.
-
Cartoons? Simpsons, Animanics, Batman: The Animated Series, Popeye, Classic Looney Toons, Duck Tales, Classic Disney, and Tom and Jerry.

In terms of other stuff that hasn't been mentioned, watch Bakemonogatari (and Nisemonogatari when it ends), Dennou Coil and Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni / Kai. If you're into comedy then do Azumanga Daioh as well.
Also the two earliest Sonic cartoons are pretty great. The second one's worth watching for this alone. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4jd0UWGPgY)
-
Phineas and Ferb. It is brilliant, and the best cartoon I've seen since the glory days of Pinky and the Brain and the like. It curbstomps ponies and eats them for breakfast while singing a catchy song.
-
Good point guess I'll remember that for next time. anyways know any good "Cartoons" at all? :derp:
If you have any interest in Transformers at all, I recommend either Beast Wars or Animated. Beast Wars has very good CGI (that holds up pretty good even today), and both series have very good plot arcs, enjoyable characters, and nice nods to the classic series.
I also recommend Spectacular Spider-Man, which blows the movies away by a country mile (and has an AMAZING take on the Green Goblin)
-
Freakazoid.

I think it might be accurate to call P&F a musical comedy and MLP a sitcom.

How come you're asking for recommendations, and then keep gasping in disbelief at all the shows we haven't recommended? Do you need recommendations or not?
-
Yes I do. Maybe the tittle should have been " any shows that are worth watching. I don't know maybe it's because the shows that people are recommending aren't really explaining in detail WHY it's good. It's kind of more like "Here's a show and it's good.". Yeah I'm a just gonna get on topic on. Other shows that is good? Maybe something from the 1990s? :derp:
-
Berserk and Elfen Lied quickly come to mind. Both very NSFW with gratuitous amounts of violence. Berserk is nearly the epitome of badass, and Elfen Lied is somewhat of a slasher/drama/action if the philisophical subtexts are ignored (or maybe I'm reading too much into the whole, "What is a human?" thing.)
Why do you recommend Elfen Lied without recommending Guilty Crown? :V
-
Freakazoid.
GUYS DIDN'T YOU HEAR? TOPIC OVER YO.
probably one of the most crazy shows I ever watched, Freakazoid remains terribly memorable.
(standing among greats like Pinky and the Brain)
Why do you recommend Elfen Lied without recommending Guilty Crown? :V
Because Guilty Crown is a trainwreck of plot and broken dreams and void fetish I really don't think they come together as a package as they cater to very different audiences... I would go so far as say GC caters to audiences who will wait throughout season 2 just to get a glimpse of what the end is... or the whole truth is... or something, but it is tormenting, especially with such fickleness. However, it is actually good, good animation, one of the best OST soundtracks, great OP, ED in both seasons and some likeable characters that stand out almost like a gold bar among ash, GC goes somewhere between, if you wanted to torture yourself with impatience... go right ahead.
Elfen Lied is actually significantly better and actually plot worthy. (and bonus Klimt art in the OP is just fantastic) The characters are twisted to begin with, and well... in case your inner Guro fan wakes up, there is always Nana... It actually leaves a very ambiguous end for everyone, and which is what I like in the story.
-
Actually, never heard of Guilty Crown. The way AF describes it, I'm a bit reminded of the comparison of Evangelion and RahXephon; which in turn reminds me I still need to check out RahXephon (and now Guilty Crown).
AF did you already recommend Star Driver? That's another amazingly fun mecha to watch.
-
AF did you already recommend Star Driver? That's another amazingly fun mecha to watch.
If you're okay with absurd amounts of FABULOUS and AWESOME MECHAS and DOUBLE EXPLOSIONS, fuck yeah watch Star Driver. I loved it, but a lot of my friends found it too ridiculous.
