"The care bears movie" Thanks, just what I was looking for

 

[XDel]

I know, I know, it sounds STUPID, but trust me, that movie is actually good in a classic Star Wars, good guy tempted by evil kind of way.

 

[Sicklyboy]

I haven't seen it mentioned yet...

Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin). Holy shit for the love of all that is sacred watch it.

I'll +1 for Code Geass.

The Devil is a Part Timer - this was okay. You're not missing much if you don't watch it, only one season out so far, but it was still somewhat enjoyable. Token chick with huge tits included. It throws off this whole "this show is supposed to be action-y!!!" vibe but doesn't deliver until probably the last 5 episodes or so of the 24(?) episode season. The ending was pretty awesome, I will say, but I powered through the beginning and middle after having a few drinks over the course of a few nights.

I want this quote framed so I can hang it in my room for whenever I need a good chuckle.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

3000 Leagues in Search of Mother, Ergo Proxy, Elfen Lied, Death Note, Desert Punk, Shin-chan, D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers, Kino's Journey, Neon Genesis Evangelion. Make your pick.

I rather enjoyed Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad (if you're a musician you'll probably enjoy it 10 times more) and Mushishi is a good one to just chill out to. Oh yeah, XXXholic is good too. If you're looking for something with a lot of action these probably aren't for you, though. Btw, you can probably tell I don't watch lots of anime and most that I do watch is dubbed because I hate reading subs and I don't have the patience to learn japanese.

Oh ya, Desert Punk, I need to get back and finish that one! I liked what I had scene thus far!

I have not heard of and know nothing about "3000 Leagues in Search of Mother", but the name in itself makes me want to check it out!

 

[Eity]

Well if serious anime is what you want then try:
Bleach
Gundam (not all, best is Seed & Wing)
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Code Geass
.Hack
Hikaru no Go
Black Rock Shooter
Kiba
Sora o Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai
Nanoha
Kanon
Clannad
Little Busters!
Kokoro Connect
Erementar Gerad
Air Gear
One Piece
Tegami Bachi
I personally watched and liked a lot of different anime (in fact I watched more then 1000 serials partially, and more then 400 fully), but many anime of what I liked is comedy, love story, kids anime... Since you probably are not up for that, I did not put it on the list (and also did not put on it many of not so important serious anime).

 

[TwilightWarrior]

Ok guys thanks so much, I found quite a few a like. Plus, I also found out about Major, Pretty deep story.

 

[Issac]

Bakemonogatari
Serial Experiments Lain

* Steins;Gate

I agree with those above:
Bakemonogatari
Serial Experiments Lain
Steins;Gate

and I want to add:
Saikano (or Saishū Heiki Kanojo or She the Ultimate Weapon) Which is my favourite of all time.

I also enjoyed the sister series to xxxHolic called: Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE

 

[Hells Malice]

OP wants a serious series and only one person has mentioned Fate/Zero.
What a sad bunch of individuals.

Anyway the first titles that come to mind are Clannad, Fate/zero, Steins;Gate, Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom, and Toradora.

I'd say my list has a fair few solid animes and quite a few are more serious.

 

[Social_Outlaw]

Here's Some old school anime somewhat.

Tenjou tenge
Baki the grappler
Cowboy bebop
Deadman wonderland
Samurai champloo
Trigun
Inyusha
Hellsing Ultimate ova
Afro samurai
Airgear

Update: Im going to add somemore .

 

[FlareTheFox]

I haven't seen this one mentioned yet...

Outlaw Star.
One of my personal favourites and anime classics. I would then go on to say Ginga Nagareboshi Gin or Ginga Densetsu Weed... But nobody would be interested in that apart from me

 

[TwilightWarrior]

Hey everyone, just wanted to tell everyone to MAKE SURE you watch MAJOR. The story is amazing, and EXTREMELY emotional. It tends to keep such a vivid story while focusing on sports. And if your worrying about it being based on a little kid playing basball, don't worry he continuously gets older. Goes from a 5 year old that is too young to play in little league to a major leaguer.
