Same here - I really only liked the ending part which means sitting through the 2nd arc where I might as well have been watching paint dry  :ohdear:

Buuuuuut back on topic, in addition to lots of things mentioned here I gotta recommend Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex.
Moerin:
Actually... You want something deep, meaningful and moving?  Watch Berserk.  The first episode might fool you into thinking it's nothing more than shallow anti-heroic violence, but... It's not.  It's really, really not.  It's an epic tragedy, and the ending... Let's just say don't watch it when you're feeling down. >.> The ending alone is one of the most powerful, moving and haunting pieces of animation, of the entire visual medium even, that I have ever seen and it will stick in your mind for a long time after you watch it.  Of course, it's able to be this by the great storytelling and characterization of the episodes leading up to it, so... You really do get to feel for the characters, which makes the end... All that more powerful.

Seriously, you won't regret it.
Drake:
Going to echo TTGL, Mushishi and 5cm/s here. Great stuff.
Tengukami:
Adding Trapeze to this list as well.

And I have to ask:


--- Quote from: Suikama on October 09, 2010, 08:46:21 PM ---While stuff like PSG is fun and all, sometimes we want anime that has something more. Something that can really move us either emotionally or spiritually. Something that appears simple on the outside, but is extremely deep at it's core; telling tales of timeless plights encountered almost universally by the human race. This topic is dedicated to such anime, whose themes and characters inspire an entire generation.

I'm really not trying to be a dick here, but was this a serious suggestion to "anime that can really move us either emotionally or spiritually" and "is extremely deep at it's core; telling tales of timeless plights encountered almost universally by the human race"? Maybe I didn't watch Seto no Hanayome the right way, but it struck me as cute, funny, highly entertaining, and that's about it. What am I missing about this series?
