[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

[basques]

I want some new good action anime with a long lasting storyline, like Naruto, Bleach and One Piece. Fairy Tail might perhaps be my answer to that, as I read the few first episodes of the manga.

Finished "Toward the Terra" the other day, so im also looking for a new anime.

I did a quick google search for "anime suggestions" to see what other animes popped up, the first site shows a category listed as "intelligent" animes, where the first two in the list i really enjoyed ; code geass, and death note.

So i was wondering which ones of the list you guys would suggest, a couple of them look pretty interesting, but i was curious which ones you guys have watched and if you liked it.

the list is:

* Death Note

* Code Geass

* Monster

* RahXephon

* Haibane Renmei

* Mushi-shi

* Darker than Black

* Serial Experiments Lain

* Paranoia Agent

* Dennou Coil

* Ghost in the Shell

* Noein

* Ghost Hunt

* Ergo Proxy

* 12 Kingdoms

* Spiral

* Fantastic Children

Ghost in the Shell <- How can you miss this!?

Ergo Proxy <- Mature, philosophical anime. It even has Paranoid Android by Radiohead as its OP song.

RahXephon <- One of top 5 favorite all time. I <3 Mishima!

Mush-shi <- One of the best anime series in the past few years

Darker than Black <- This is what you might like

Monster <- Epic conspiracy/mystery drama of a Japanese doctor in Europe

Ghost Hunt <- If you like Darker than Black and Ergo Proxy, then you'll like the more toned down Ghost Hunt

Rurouni Kenshin

Eureka Seven (epic 50 episode anime... Quality better than quantity here)

Yu Yu Hakusho (better than Naruto and Bleach put together... Once you've seen this, you've seen them all)

Legend of the Galactic Heroes (more mature, less action and more epic space battles)

D.Gray Man

Hajame no Ippo

If you've watched a lot of anime and understand parodies, then Gintama is a must watch!

How did you like 'Toward the Terra', Berserk87? Was it your type of anime? How would you rate it on a scale of 1 to 10? :laugh:

EDIT: basques, I would recommend to watch Rurouni Kenshin and D.Gray-man.

Toward the Terra was pretty good, its hard to give it a rating because i didnt feel as 'connected' to it as death note or code geass, where i was watching like 3 episodes a day min.

[hackdoom]

I know what you mean. Death Note and Code Geass are hard to top, or even match. From the list that you posted, I have also watched Paranoia Agent. I wouldn't really recommend it.

I would suggest that you watch Umineko no Naku Koro ni (When the Seagulls Cry). It's the anime that I'm watching at the moment, and its themes are somewhat similar to DN's. I say this after realizing that Toward the Terra wasn't probably what you were looking for. :laugh:

[Berserk87]

toward the terra was still really good, there were a couple really good parts, and it was pretty solid all around.

its pretty hard to compete with deathnote and code geass, but those are what im looking for :D

Ergo Proxy <- Mature, philosophical anime. It even has Paranoid Android by Radiohead as its OP song.

You mean its ED song, OP song is "kiri" by MONORAL :p

Radish?

[Dance.]

berserk you should watch rurourni kenshin. one of the best animes i've watched although FMA:B has just over taken it :p.

Ergo Proxy is one of my favourite shows.

Plus I love pretty much anything sci-fi :p

It's my favorite genre. Anything with a good dash of technology and character development, then put me up for it. Ghost in the Shell and Akira can be considered the two ultimate cyberpunk works in the genre. Nothing can come close to it unless you would like to consider Neon Genesis Evangelion (which has turned most of the Gundam series to follow Shinji's emo footsteps).

If you're keen on reading manga, then I HAVE to recommend that you read "Blame". It has the same atmosphere and dystopian future.

You mean its ED song, OP song is "kiri" by MONORAL tongue.gif

Radish?

Oops. Kiri > Paranoid Android. Ergo Proxy had amazing alternative rock songs. The soundtrack is also close to perfect to it.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

You do know that Gundam started a decade before NGE, right? ;)

[Azusa]

And was saved by it's toys not it's stories.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

That wasn't the matter though, and does that even matter? I for one do like the stories and I also buy the Gunpla models. I don't really see what the problem is.

[Azusa]

oh nothing...

I'm referring to the newer Gundam series. The ones that just copy and pasta the previous stories and try to put a new "twist" to them.

This is such a good song. Eureka Seven and Gintama have probably the best collection of OP and ED songs.

Quick question did anyone else watch Hayate The combat butler?

[RadishTM Veteran]

Eureka Seven and Gintama have probably the best collection of OP and ED songs.

I've yet to start Gintama but for Eureka seveN, this track is a firm favourite of mine -

Radish?

Good, chilling trance but not my cup of tea. I prefer "White Tiger Track. 24&quo:p. :p

Too flashy for me, I like to chill out :p

Radish?

[Azusa]

So no one else watched Hayate then?

[Jamushroom Veteran]

@maskedforever: That's an awesome song tbh. I listen to it from time to time. Have you heard supercar's full album with that song btw? It's a really nice and relaxing album imo.

You're right about the story lines tbh. They do try to bring more and more original things in to the stories but the groundbase is indeed always the same.

@Radish?: That song is probably the best instrumental on the whole OS:D:D

While we staying ontopic with Eureka seveN. This is also a song used as an OP for the series. I personally love the song and it's lyrics:

[Azusa]

for some reason this made me lol.
