Now that is a series that needs a 2nd season with Tsuda's little sister going to high school and joining the student council.

Hey, I got a new forum title. Finally not a Mechnognome or whatever it was.

[karloz1337]

I still have to watch that, especially since everyone compares it to Utena.

And yay for Utena in the first bottom row picture. <3

Dunno about Utena havent been able to see it... but if its as half as good as penguindrum ...

Since I wasnt able to read a recent page here without reading Steins;Gate I just watched the whole anime after reading it up in Wikipedia, and I think I know what I miss and why I liked Code Geass and Deathnote so much: Closure.
I want it to end, happy or not, but a satisfying ending might just be something that even these popular animes with over 600 episodes need ... not that it will ever happen. Who would like to stop printing money.
Well I think that comes to the question: Any good short lived anime out there with a bit of mystery, action, character development ... and a bit of sillieness maybe ... yeah something in the lines of the above 3 I already watched. I think the "action fight scenes" I looked for might not realy be the thing that can stop my itching of boredom, though the most things end with one.
A friend said something about ghost in the shell - though I heared of it so many years ago it kind of buggs me now watching old anime just for having it wached.

I agree I like an anime that ends Code Geass is the perfect example. I mean yea I want to see more of Nunnally because I mean she is my future wife and all. But I felt like the ending was just so perfect, which is hard to do. I normally want more from shows I watch. Damn I am going to re-watch code geass even though I finished it a week ago... Btws I am getting Lelouchs Geass symbol tattooed on my shoulder I will have pics up soon on it!

It sounds like what you need is some Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

This just reminds me ... just change "video game" with about "anything" in your mind:



It's a great song nonetheless but this just reminded me how sweet it is to get something done and how hard it is to part with things you invested much time in, like watching a whole series with an actuall ending. *cough*

Hrmmm... Well there is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood =http://myanimelist.net/anime/5114/Fu...t:_Brotherhood
Blood+ = http://myanimelist.net/anime/150/Blood+
Black Lagoon (two seasons of this and an almost complete OVA, but each season is its own story)= http://myanimelist.net/anime/889/Black_Lagoon
Samurai Champloo = http://myanimelist.net/anime/205/Samurai_Champloo
Eureka Seven = http://myanimelist.net/anime/237/Eureka_Seven
Chrno Crusade = http://myanimelist.net/anime/60/Chrno_Crusade
Samurai 7 = http://myanimelist.net/anime/166/Samurai_7
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex = http://myanimelist.net/anime/467/Gho..._Alone_Complex
Gundam 00 (Two seasons that make up one story) = http://myanimelist.net/anime/2581/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_00
Baccano = http://myanimelist.net/anime/2251/Baccano!

That should get you started. Now these series come from a few different genres. Some are Mecha, some are pure action, some are a bit more lighthearted, but the main thing is they all have a pretty set story and solid endings. Now, some of them do have episodes that might vary from the main story a bit, but they are not "filler" They are usually there to give insight into a character or sometimes just to lighten the mood a bit.

You can click on the link next to each title to read a couple paragraph preview of the series as well as read other peoples reviews farther down the page. There are also user submitted recommendations of similar series so if you watch one and like it, check the page and you might find some more along those same lines.

I hope this helped.

Must...resist...urge...to randomly...argue.

@XenonSalbeira
Not sure if you were saying Steins;Gate lacked closure then? Because they resolved the major issues they brought up in the series, although of course the story can go on. If you hate that kind of thing I can assure you that you won't like GitS because it's the same; they solve their main dilemma/story arc but it's not like the entire world changes after that.

Come at me bro... Jk you didn't like the ending of Code Geass? I thought it was superb.

[Digglett]

Dunno about Utena havent been able to see it... but if its as half as good as penguindrum ...

Utena's an odd watch, I really like it, but I don't know if I could tell you why I like it, besides Utena herself. There's a lot of stock footage, and I mean A TON (every episode), there's some fillery type episodes and recap episodes which I cannot stand, but Utena had this charm about it that I can't quite describe, it's also completely filled with symbolism, most of which was completely over my head.

Maybe watch the Utena movie if you're interested to get a feel? I have yet to watch it myself, so I can't tell you if it's any good or not. (Can't find a sub, I love Utena's original voice too much to watch the dub)

I thought Steins;Gate had wonderful closure, I couldn't ask for more, besides maybe seeing SPOILER: Okabe and Kurisu marry. :P

[Zaerick]

I just watched code gease for the first time ever like a month ago WTF happened to C.C. at the end it doesn't tell what happened to her at all

Code Geass SPOILER!She doesn't have her contract fullfilled because lelouch does not kill her. Also Lelouch is not dead he obtained immortality by killing his father he was the driver of the cart C.C was sleeping on.

The only thing the show lacks at with the ending is telling what becomes of the other characters. But it is impossible to make this work unless you have a show that continues with them until they are dead because people always want to know more. It was told beautifully!

[Skizzit]

Theres going to be a spin off season in Europe

It is a side story and likely will not have any of the characters from the first series.

I know and fix the quote my spoiler is showing. It takes place at the same time lelouch gets his geass but I don't think the two worlds will meet.

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