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?

    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
