The best I know is Deadman Wonderland. Others might've some thing else, might also want to checkout Blue Exorcist.

I'd probably throw in Ano Hanna too, for something a bit different.

Yup, agreed on Ano Hanna =] I found it surprisingly a good imo. Also I recommend C the Soul of Money and Possibility Control, found it to be totally awesome.

I watched the first 3 episodes of C and I agree, it's awesome! There's something fresh about it and it looks great.

Forgive me for not reading the previous 400+ pages, but has anyone watched Highschool of the Dead? Saw a couple of episodes recently and thought it wasn't too bad, what does everyone else think?

Dude, first, I totally dig that Sig. Just saw Atmosphere and Grieves LIVE at Stubbs BBQ. ****en rocked. I never miss a show when Slug is invloved :)

On that note, While HSOTD was animated very well, and had zombies... I couldn't get too much into it. I made it to about the 7th episode, and just lost interest. Too many panty and boob shots that may have done it.... I just don't dig that type of "perverted" anime. I call it "perverted" because they always do it in a way that makes it seem creepy lol.

I'm a noob fan really, I've loved Japanese cinema for years, but never enjoyed anim?... I guess I never got it until whilst intoxicated and being introduced to Naruto properly, I came to the revelation of Godzilla/Akira/InsertRandomApocalypticScene <----> Horrific earthquakes... and the penny sort of dropped linking the two.

I've seen most of the critically acclaimed films just through being a film student at one point in my life, but as for the anim? shows? I've given very few of them the time of day. I'm struggling to finish season one of Naruto because although I like it and find it quite entertaining... I cannot stand the way it's formatted. The lengthy intros & outros plus the annoying recaps all for around 10 minutes or so of new material. My housemate has just started getting into it as well, he's just finishing season two and told me that some one-on-one fight scene Naruto has as part of his training lasts for around 3 episodes. Same reason I struggle to watch a lot of American shows, even The Walking Dead is a bit of a pain to watch for me.

Naruto , while the story takes place as them being kids, is good and tedious. But stick through it. Once Shippuuden starts, the series really takes off.

Well that's shounen anim? for ya Try a show called Kodomo No Jikan.

Welcome to the darkside :laugh: you're gonna love it here, and answer to the first question yes indeed it's lovely "fan service" (not that much actually) anime. But the story itself is really great, I've yet to see last episode. Been really busy lately.

Cheers, our friend Fiddy is just too good to be true sometimes!

MASSIVELY jealous right now. I'd kill to see any ONE of the RS lot live, never mind TWO of them on one bill! What's Family Sign like live?

I know what you mean about HSOTD, I'm not fussed on those perverted shots... they do get quite annoying, the show does seem to use them ****loads. If they toned it down a bit just so it didn't become so monotonous it'd be a lot better.

I have only watched about... 4 episodes maybe? I think I got up to the part where you seemingly meet the first couple of villains? I like the subject matter, I've always been fascinated with zombie shows/films/games, so I'll probably try and finish the first season.

Man, they were amazing. Grieves started the show, and got it pumped up instantly. Have to say, I enjoyed LightSpeed the most out of his songs. Then Atmosphere played last, after Blueprint, and they were amazing. I've seen Atmosphere live before, and once their sound system wrecked, and Slug went into the crowd and started just freestyling and signing his songs without any real beats... it was a moment I'll never forget... but I don't miss anything Ryhmesayers/Doomtree. They come to Austin a lot, and I make it to basically every show I can. Had a drink with POS, got hugged by Dessa :), and bumped fist with Ant just the other day !!! My friend had me take his picture with grieves, but it was too dark, so only got a black square. Grieves was a cool dude, got to talk with him a little. This girl me and my friend were near got us partially back stage after Grieves finished, so we were able to meet some of them, but not Slug... he was infront of the building, shaking hands and talking to those entering the concert :(

Only one I still need to really meet is Astronautalis. Seen him perform plenty, just haven't shaken hands or got a picture with him yet.

Man, you're the only person so far that seems to know what Ryhmesayers is..... good to be able to talk about this **** :) lol

but that's the show's main selling point also HSOTD has the cutest loli for it's genre.
