Anime recommendation.

[Bitbyte]

I don't doubt that you will have fun watching Dragon Ball Z, Bleach, Naruto, Bleach and other anime like that; but if you really want to see some great stories (complemented with quite a lot of violence, that's how I like my anime), I would recommend Berserk, Ergo Proxy and Gantz. Especially Gantz has a great story, so much so that I now want to read the manga to see what happens next. Oh, and Elfen Lied too! Now that's some amazing piece of work!

 

[raulpica]

Hummm... I'll just place some random name of animes I've seen

Elfen Lied, DeathNote, Mushishi, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Naruto, Naruto: Shippuuden, JoJo no Kimiyou na Bouken, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, Shinseiki Evangelion and Great Teacher Onizuka.

I've seen a lot more, but can't remember right now. Though, these I named are pretty good.

As someone in the thread said, it depends on what Genre you like. I personally don't like the shounen shows like the Dragon Balll shows, or naruto and such. I'm into comedies. And I find that the older anime comedies are better than the current ones. Also, I only watch subbed anime since it is always (or at least usually) better than their dubbed counter parts (Kirby being the prime example)Shows I recommend are...

Kero Kero Chime. (not to be confused with Keroro Gunsou)
Goldfish Warning
Otogi Juushi Akazukin (not to be confused with Akazukin Cha Cha)
Azumanga Daioh
Sensei no Ojikan
Cromartie High School. (though it really does go downhill after a while, and the first bunch of episodes don't make as much sense if you haven't read the manga)

Mahoujin Guru Guru
Ichigo Mashimaro
Binchou-tan (boring, but still entertaining, and the most amazing anime graphically and musically)
Bomberman Jetterz
Hoshi no Kaabii (Kirby of the Stars) but only the subbed version, since the dubbed destroys it. (and the dubbed isn't shown anymore)

There are probably others that I really liked, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. The ones I suggest the most are Kero Kero Chime and Mahoujin Guru Guru. They will totally crack you up.

Shounen(Action and epicness but simple):
1-Bleach
2-One Piece(if you want to watch more than 300 episodes but it's good)
3-Naruto(I know people hate it because of the narutards but it's a really good anime.
4-Dragonball(the original), I don't know if it fits the shounen category but DB is better than DBZ, of course once you watched DB you'll want to see DBZ.
5- History`s Strongest Disciple Kenichi (I hope they will do a second season of it.)

Random/Slice of Life
1- Lucky Star (watch it or you'll regret it...)
2- Minami-ke (It's pretty new but awesome, a new version of the show just sarted I hope it's as good, but I don't like the characters new look)
3-Azumanga Daioh (It's pretty random and cute, it's funny too)
4-Genshiken 1&2 (Slice of life show about a group of otakus, each with a "specialisation")

Bleh I have trouble finding categories for all the animes I watched so that's it for now. I also recommend Death Note, Juuousei, Great Teacher Onizuka(With Shonan Junai Gumi, it's prequel), Welcome to the NHK and Excel Saga.

What I recommend you to do is take the title of the anime you might be interrested in and then search it on anidb.net so you will have a description of it and info like the number of episodes, groups that subs/subbed it, it'll be easier to find them after. Most of the time you can even click on the Group name and then you have it's website and download it from there. I started watching anime like you, asking GBAtemp, and now I downloaded so much stuff I don't even have the time to watch it all, haha.

 

[DarkAura]

EDIT: Is there an english version of Bleach? Or is it only subbed?

Dubbed versions suck. Compared to the Japanese anyways. The voice actors just don't sound the same.

My list:
Bleach (duh, ava and sig)
Naruto, haven't seen any episodes but seems funny as hell
Death Note, my friends seem to like it, only seen one episode, dubbed. Gonna start that soon.
One Piece, friends also like that one
Initial D, drifting cars, also none seen

I only watch Bleach, but the other anime's above are said to be good.

 

[jalaneme]

fantastic children, a great series, don't let the voice acting put you off, it has a great story, it's all about spirituality reincarnation and karma, i think it may be a bit too serious for you young ones

blood the last vampire, mindless violence with swords

great cgi animation, it's very short but is good.

vampire hunter D 1 & 2

devilman

3x3 eyes

this is all underrated stuff not the usual over hyped stuff like naruto and dragon ball z lol

edit: oh and ninja scroll uncut and the series, how could i forget that?

 

[Ub3rSlug]

I'm watching Eureka 7 and Samurai Champloo right now. Both really good series.

 

[test84]

luring on fillers of BLEACH, duhhh, they r not gonna end xD

 

[Deleted member 110780]

Please save dub vs. sub for another thread. I'm just sick of it already being mentioned.

I'd recommend Revolutionary Girl Utena and Outlaw Star.

 

[eonwe217]

Just one word Azumanga daioh(well actually two) i just lol'd every time .
Nge oavs, those are pretty good
and a bit of old school ranma 1/2(that anime made my childhood specially the happosai moments XD)

[anime_junkie]

Monster

[ZAFDeltaForce]

Fate/Stay Night is one of the better animes I have watched recently

 

[anime_junkie]

Fate/Stay Night is one of the better animes I have watched recently

At this point, I'd say just wait for the game patch. UBW is almost done.

Type-MOON games>Type-MOON anime so hard, it's not even funny.

 

[awesomer]

Here is my top 3 of all animes:
3.Digimon - first season
2.Gurren Lagann - whole thing
1.Pokemon - first season

 

[VividBlack]

Don't think I saw anyone mention this series...

Desert Punk

Excellent series, damn good dub, short... a bit... er... mature, though. In a rather immature manner. Lots of dirty humor.

I agree with all the people saying TTGL, a great watch. I'd also have to suggest Hellsing Ultimate. The TV series was all right, the OVAs are great, though, and follow the manga more faithfully, I hear.

 

[BoneMonkey]

golden booooooooooooooooooooooy

 

[Westside]

Slam dunk. One of the greatest classics out there. You don't even have to like basketball or even sports.

 

[Cermage]

Bleach died after the soul society arc, its getting worse and worse now.

Gankutsuou
Gunslinger Girls
Kimi ga Nozomu Ein
Black Lagoon
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Peace Maker Kurogane (don't watch if you hate series that don't end)
Moyashimon
Claymore
Fate/stay Night
Shingestutan Tsukihime/ Tsukihime Lunar Legend
FLCL
School Rumble
Oh! Edo Rocket
I"S pure
Hunter X Hunter
Lucky star
Ouran High School Host Club
Gantz
Noir
12 Kingdoms
Full Metal Panic
Prince of Tennis
Initial D
Air Gear
Suzuka

Depends on what you like really, there is a thorough selection there though.

 

[OSW]

Slam dunk. One of the greatest classics out there. You don't even have to like basketball or even sports.

I've only watched a few episodes, but i read the whole manga and it was incredibly brilliant, so i suspect I'd probably agree with your opinion.

A more recent sports anime - Over Drive isn't too bad (it's not epic like slam dunk, but it's reasonable fun)

what else...

Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun was pretty good, a mix of light heated comedy and drama, with a bit of ecchi
