Hi guys! I'm new to the anime thread and I was wondering what Neowin could recommend I watch next as I am completely out of ideas.

I just took a break from TF2 and WoW for a week and managed to squeeze Hellsing, all three seasons of Zero no Tsukaima, and DearS all into my schedule. Recently I've also seen Chobits and Mahou Sensei Negima. Glad to say I enjoyed every one of them.

Hellsing I enjoyed the most I must say. It was really...unique, in a good way. Infact it has to be one of the best animes I've seen in a long time. I don't really expect anything to match it.

Other series' I've seen are Trigun, Dragonball, DBZ, most of Naruto, Ghost in the Shell, Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, and Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.

I normally prefer subbed versions as the voices are often done more professionally, plus it helps me learn Japanese. Normally my only exception would be if the dub was done by FUNimation.

Hellsing or Hellsing Ultimate? If you haven't watched one or the other I suggest watching both. They're incredibly awesome.

^Correct. I'm thinking about re-watching the Hellsing series again.

@Recon415: All dubs are as bad in my ears :p Anime with Japanese audio and English subs are a must for anime. Click the "MyAnimeList" link in my signature. I'm sure there are a few series in my list that you might like :)

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is going to be kicked off today, so is Shangri-La and Dragonball Kai. Is there any other new anime that's going to be kicked off today?

Yeah I've watched them both. Hellsing Ultimate was by far superior however and I really wish they'd get a move-on on the 6th.

Yes some dubs are bad but Hellsing ONLY works in English.

You mean English subs right? Because the Japanese voices are pretty good imo.

I've got the Appleseed: Ex Machine DVD which doesn't even have Japanese voices! :| So I thought I was being forced to see it with English dubs. Luckely, a friend of mine bought the correct version so I could still watch it with Japanese voices and English subs. I'm still going to buy the correct version though, I just can't stand watching anime with English dubs.

Not for Hellsing hell they got atleast two British people for the Hellsing Dub.

I just finished watching the new FMA and I'm not quite sure what to think of it. I recognize characters and stuff from the original but again..kind of seems to start out half way through a story that already started elsewhere.

Yeah, the first episode was original and not from the manga so it's a little out of place. Hopefully they stick to the manga from now on.

Also the new OP is awsum.

Episode one of Queen's Blade was awesome absolutely beautiful fights and what not.

Ah, so it wasn't because of the prominent female anatomy on show which exploded, shot acid occasionally and what not :rofl:

Radish?

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
