i probably won't watch D.Gray Man though (although it looks intersting too, at least for a fighting-shounen) since i don't want to watch an anime with ~100 episodes (and fillers), when i have so many others that i'd like to try.

Ah right its such a long time since i watched it so i completely forgot how long the anime is (manga still ongoing), alright sorting out all below 100 then.

Tsukihime
Utawarerumono
Trigun < old but good and more humorus than the intro looks
Gantz since you liked baccano this might fit in aswell (does contain a sex scen thou)
Sword of the Stranger
Canaan
Shakugan no Shana
Kurokami
Histories Strongest Disciple Kenichi
To Aru Majutsu no Index
Howls Moving Castle

Off to find some more...maybe ill look around in my 2x TB externals...but really i dont wanna go there today

Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X nuff said.
I loved the comedy parts in the manga, it made me laugh really loud

And the action is OK.

[Deamoneyes]

From Google, Kanon does look impressive, but a little ... shiny... though of course I wont have a proper idea until I watch it.

dont deny kanon.

[Chelly]

Havn't watched the Anime :/
But there's a lot of comedy in the manga :x

[Kyrsa]

wow so I totally forgot to mention the sports anime / manga that I like

Eyeshield 21. Hiruma is hilarious flat out, you lose some of his humor in the anime versus the manga because it gets censored out a bit.

Hajime no Ippo. Old school they did a reboot / continuation of the anime called New Challenger but the manga has continued for a good while. It is a manga and anime about boxing so there is fighting but its not your typical shounen style. A little bit over the top in some of the fights

Prince of Tennis. It was okay got totally ridiculous at the end of it.

Prince of Bowling. Korean manga same kinda line as tennis but way more humor, never finished reading this dont think there is an anime.

[Renagade Raven]

dont deny kanon.

What the hell did I just see 0.o

Glad to see some Baccano! love in this thread. The story really isn't that complicated if you actually watch it.

Needs more: Outlaw Star, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hunter X Hunter (a lot like dragonball, more of a kids anime i guess)

[Naivedo]

My favorites are:
Fooly Cooly (FLCL)
Princess Mononoke
Code Geass
Bleach
Death Note
Eureka 7
Ghost in the Shell
Naruto Shippuuden
Rurouni Kenshin
Full Metal Alchemist
Dragon Ball Z & GT

Also, FLCL is the greatest anime of all time. :P

[Sy]

Tsukihime

this one looks interesting, might give it a try

Gantz

i know Gantz (well, the first half at least, since i stopped watching there) and i wouldn't compare it to Baccano. they are both very random, but that's about it. Baccano is very humorous and fast!
Gantz is trying to create a depressing and weird atmosphere but fails completely (for me at least) and has some of the most long-drawn-out and boring scenes of all animes i've watched. oh and the leading character is a sexist asshole^^
long story short, Gantz was one of the worst animes i've tried. sorry :P

Sword of the Stranger

thanks for reminding me of this one!
i've seen it once some time ago and really liked it. will probably watch it again soon and put it in my list (if i get the motivation to update it^^).

Histories Strongest Disciple Kenichi

o.O
this doesn't really look like an anime i could like in any way xD

Howls Moving Castle

this one looks rather creative and unique, but more for a younger and/or family audience.

all others: meh. they don't look too bad, but not really good either. i just don't like (typical) action animes in general.

anyway, thanks for the tips! =)

dont deny kanon.

So.... cute :3

What the hell did I just see 0.o

you have seen nothing!
NO ONE CAN DENY THE CUTENESS!!! (<-- may contain some small spoilers if you watch it carefully, so don't watch the whole video if you didn't see Kanon 2006 yet and can't stand to see even the slightest hint of story.)

wow so I totally forgot to mention the sports anime / manga that I like

fine with me, i totally don't like any kind of sports anime xD

Glad to see some Baccano! love in this thread. The story really isn't that complicated if you actually watch it.

true, the story itself isn't too complicated (especially when you've already seen the whole anime and just think about it again), but the narrative style is a rather complicated and weird one with all the different points of view and "leaps in time" (which is one reason why this anime is pretty unique and cool imo).

Sigh.
I am addicted to this and have been listening to it non stop for the last few days Sy.
I hate you >:7

[Chelly]

What's the story about in Kanon? (I don't want spoilers just a nice summary)
Can't really find it anywhere :/

[Deamoneyes]

i know Gantz well, Gantz was one of the worst animes i've tried. sorry :P

Not blaming you, seeing as you liked something as random as Baccano it was worth mentioning atleast

thanks for reminding me of this one!
i've seen it once some time ago and really liked it. will probably watch it again soon and put it in my list (if i get the motivation to update it^^).

One of the better movies ive seen, heartly recommended.

o.O
this doesn't really look like an anime i could like in any way xD

Because its a shounen? or because of the martial arts? in either cases its kept in a lower profile than its humor

this one looks rather creative and unique, but more for a younger and/or family audience.

Well its a Studio Ghibli so its really for a larger audiance so they do keep it in a unique style, you can put Mononoke up with that movie since its just as good.

all others: meh. they don't look too bad, but not really good either. i just don't like (typical) action animes in general.

Hm hm okay, theres some in there i really like but i can watch most animes (some exceptions do exist thou)

anyway, thanks for the tips! =)

Your welcome

you have seen nothing!
(<-- may contain some small spoilers if you watch it carefully, so don't watch the whole video if you didn't see Kanon 2006 yet and can't stand to see even the slightest hint of story.)

Giving a tease and a fullblown vid of humor so they will miss out alot isnt what i do but oh well might get them hooked.

Kanon 2006 (that's the site i always use to look up animes, but the english part of the site is only very small. very nice descriptions, informations and professional comments in german though.)

Yuichi, a high school guy, moves to his cousin Nayuki, where he often stayed during summer when he was a kid. he can't really remember anything from back then though. he starts going to school there, together with Nayuki, meets many cute/strange/mysterious girls and slowly realizes that his past (and his lost memories) are connected to those girls.
every one of the girls has her own story too (Makoto has amnesia and the only thing she knows is that she hates Yuichi, Ayu is searching for something she can't even remember, Mai is at school every night for some mysterious reason, and so on).

Not blaming you, seeing as you liked something as random as Baccano it was worth mentioning atleast

of course, thanks^^

One of the better movies ive seen, heartly recommended.

indeed.

Because its a shounen? or because of the martial arts? in either cases its kept in a lower profile than its humor

because of both, especially in combination

Well its a Studio Ghibli so its really for a larger audiance so they do keep it in a unique style, you can put Mononoke up with that movie since its just as good.

already guessed so, the style looked similar.

Hm hm okay, theres some in there i really like but i can watch most animes (some exceptions do exist thou)

i wouldn't say i'd never ever like one of course^^ it's just not the genre i prefer.

Giving a tease and a fullblown vid of humor so they will miss out alot isnt what i do but oh well might get them hooked.

well, i've watched it many times already after i've seen Kanon and i still think it's awesome xD
wasn't really intended to give an example of what to expect overall in the anime.

This was me when i watched FLCL

I do know some love it, but it was just such a misfit for me, sorry

excellent review! and no spoilers, although it doesn't really try to tell much of the actual storyline anyway.

@both
Thanks ^^

you're welcome

xDDD
"all we can do is sit and watch..."
the one with Ayu is even better imo!^^

This was me when i watched FLCL

wtf? o.O

[Chelly]

This was me when i watched FLCL

Rofl >.<

[Deamoneyes]

wtf? o.O

FLCL is the only anime ive ever rated below 1 star, ye....

Not trying to start a flame war about it but it didnt fit my taste, kinda imagine making anime into pills and they all have their unique taste and they all taste well until you find one glowing with a dark colour and you hear whispers in your head just from looking at it, when deciding to taste it you cant describe the taste as anything else than the most god forsaken thing youve ever eaten....this for me was FLCL, i guess others have other animes that fits that description.
