[Anime] Opinions on good anime to get into.

[Deleted]

I do enjoy the one piece anime but in terms of manga story its either elfen lied or gantz

Better than a lot of stories tbh... DBZ = bad guy attacks people / earth / friends, they all get beaten up, then one of them reaches the next level of supersayan or whatever and beats the crap out of the baddie. not exactly the best story in the world if i'm honest and yet it was one of the most popular animes in the world at one point. go figure

[Lemonlust]

Do you mind sexual explicit anime?

I loved it bcs of the action and super powers, I still remember playing DBZ with my brother and friends on school.
DBZ KAI < DBZ

Its pretty much the lifeblood of the Shonen genre.

you're right much better story than dbz plus the other 2.DBz was popular at the time because there was nothing like it i was always hyped.

I wouldn't post them if it's too bad, If you aren't sure you could ask a moderator if it's appropriate to post them. They might not know it but well...
better to ask then getting infracted

the original dragonball > DBZ > DB KAI
the original DB was sweet and had a kinda fun story but with DBZ it got too serious :<

[Realsykes]

IDK if anyone's mentioned it, buy Yu Yu Hakasho is one of my personal favorites

[Newbryn]

Forgot a classic yu yu hakusho might seem dated but definately worth a watch.And nowyou know how bleach came about lol.

[Borfl]

From what I've watched, and I don't consider myself an anime-attuned at all:
Berserk
Death Note
Claymore
Afro Samurai
Gantz
Love Hina -_-
Steins;gate
One Piece
Naruto
Bleach
Battle Royale
Dragon Ball Z
Fairy Tail
Trigun
Hellsing OVA

And I highly recommend reading the manga for each one too.

I've tried getting into Code Geass, Full Metal Alchemist, and Clannad but I honestly can't do it, just doesn't appeal to me at all.

[Blazefury5]

Baccano!
Hyakka Ryōran Samurai Girls
Darker Than Black
and
Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari -little explicit , OAV series, but it is definately worth watching.

DBZ kai is pretty much the same as DBZ but with better animations and without all the filler episodes.

so dbz kai < dbz

it's personal preference anyway.

edit: I know the battle royale live-action movies as i got the dvd versions here at home, didn't know there existed a mange/anime of it.

[Digglett]

If anyone in this thread hasn't watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica yet, do it, do it NOW! Only 12 episodes too, so it'll be a quickie. (I know I've said it already but I can't recommend it enough)

I personally own every season of Yu Yu Hakasho, easily one of my top 3 favs *remembers back to toonami and adult swim late at night*....

what can i say? i like the classics ;P a lot ofthings get worse over time. only very few animes survive past 200 episodes. if you have a level-up scheme in your story, it will have to end or spin seriously out of control to the point where it is just stupid. DBZ and pokemon both went too far which i think is a shame. so much potential lost in bad planning and bad storytelling. to me, only the first 300 episodes of pokemon was REAL pokemon. any pokemon that wasnt in red / blue (black and white gameboy) is not a real pokemon to me

also didnt you mean DBZ KAI > DBZ? i think you got your '>' and '<' mixed up

Pretty much. The one thing I do like about One Piece though is it really shows you why the crew members mean so much to each other. More so then other Shounen series. Its kinda cliche at this point, but every one of the crew had a shitty childhood (not so much Brook, but he did live totally alone for 50+ years after his whole crew was killed till he met Luffy) and really had no place to belong until they met each other. I don't know, maybe it is my extreme fandom for that series, but you can really see the bond between the characters and that is the best part of the series for me.

[Newbryn]

I think we can all agree certain series need to die after they've past their prime.

This is what I have seen/am watching:

Amagami SS - 2nd series has been announced - Like it, very casual, and somewhat humorous. Recommended.

Ao no Exorcist - First season about to end I believe - Action with some comedy. Recommended.

Blood-C - Only 9 eps so far but I like it - A very dark and gory anime.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - Finished, 2 season - Mecha/military anime with a good story. Recommended

Death Note - Finished - A very good thriller anime. Recommended

D.N.Angel - Finished - Been a very long time since I saw this. I recommend the manga instead of the anime.

Elfen Lied - Finished - Gory anime, with a very dark story. Recommended

Fairy Tail - Still going with +90 eps - Very funny with good fantasy action. Strongly recommended

Ghost Hunt - Finished - A anime about - you guessed it - ghost hunting! I enjoyed it.

Green Green - Finished - Ecchi comedy, hilarious. Recommended

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Finished - One of the best animes I've seen. Comedy action, with a superb story. Strongly Recommended.

Hana-Saku Iroha - 24 eps so far - A very casual, slice-of-life anime, something I watch when I don't have anything else to watch.

Hidan no Aria - Finished - A action anime with potential to become great but ended at 12 eps. Recommended.

Samurai Deeper Kyou - Finished - Recommend the manga instead of the anime.

School Days - Finished - Uhm.. Wierd? Let's - just say, if you watch this, you won't ever forget it. Psychological anime.
