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?

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By Zeromus2003 · Posted

      I am actually looking forward to this..... I think Dark Ages was way more fun than the tedious expansions for Doom 2 (nu-doom).

    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Mixed thoughts. I do think MS realized it need's to re-focus on it's core while trying to get people to ultimate pay for AI. My windows machines is my gaming tower. That being said a windows machine I used as a server was just recently converted to no GUI Linux server (and it runs so much better for it's purpse), and general purpose laptop (non-gaming) that could run Windows 11 is using Linux. My work device is a MacBook Pro, and I have a raspberry PI acting as my DNS server, using linux. I honestly have more non-windows devices then devices. I don't consider myself typical user however.  
    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.

      For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
