Trying to get into some anime and I'm looking for the absolute best.

I've already watched/am watching Naruto, Trigun, FMA, Death Note, Samurai Champloo, Gurren Lagaan, Sword Art Online, Attack on Titan, Cowboy Bebop.

Those are the kind of animes I like but I'm open to anything that isn't creepy.

And are One Piece and DBZ worth starting?

Thanks!

Evangelion

Feep · Jul 18, 2013

Hunter x Hunter

And watch some movies!
Paprika
Summer Wars
Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Lord Ghirahim · Jul 18, 2013

One Piece is mostly unwatchable. Read it instead.

Trent Strong · Jul 18, 2013

Code Geass brah.

thesuperfunk · Jul 18, 2013

Dominion Tank Police

Bishop89 · Jul 18, 2013

Yes dbz is amazing, the further u get into it the better it gets.

Zabuza · Jul 18, 2013

Evangelion is one I'm looking at, and I'll check out HunterXHunter which I saw on Crunchyroll.

Is Accel World any good? And are there any prerequisites to Fate/Zero?

EvilKatarn · Jul 18, 2013

I've heard Sword Art Online gets super creepy.

I recommend Berserk. The 1997 animation, not the new movies.

peaceiscloser · Jul 18, 2013

Anything and everything Studio Ghibli.

Watch a few arcs of OP and continue with the manga.

Zabuza · Jul 18, 2013

Already seen 90% of Ghibli. Is Code Geass pretty good? And Beserk looks cool, I'll check it out.

Fate/Zero is a prequel so you should be good to start with it.

If you don't mind older anime as well, try:

Gunbuster
Robotech
Iczer-1
Record of the Lodoss War

Zabuza · Jul 18, 2013

SAO is having its moments but I'm 5 episodes away from the end so I'm sticking with it. No spoilers please.

Anastasia · Jul 18, 2013

Kino's Journey!

This is a biased post, but you should still watch it.

unpopularblargh · Jul 18, 2013

Escaflowne and Cowboy Bebop!

Megalosaro · Jul 18, 2013

Mobile Suit Gundam (the very first series). A god damn classic.

Also, Dragon Ball is superior to Dragon Ball Z

Kurita · Jul 18, 2013

Read One Piece, the anime is horrible.

Watch Space Brothers and Polar Bear Café.

freenudemacusers · Jul 18, 2013

strike witches

ro-kyu-bu

sky girls

Zabuza · Jul 18, 2013

Is Saint Seiya Omega any good?

OP anime isn't worth watching through then?

wonzo · Jul 18, 2013

kenya boy

Moaradin · Jul 18, 2013

Cowboy Bebop
Yu Yu Hakusho
Akira
All the Ghibli stuff
Hunter x Hunter
The Last Airbender (I know it's not exactly anime but it's as good as the best)
Evangelion
Gurren Lagann
Fullmetal Alchemist
Dragon Ball (the original but you might as well watch Z afterwards. I recommend Kai)

Zabuza · Jul 18, 2013

Any animes that are similar to Death Note? That's my favorite.

Kiryu · Jul 18, 2013

Popular Anime to watch for.
Highschool of The Dead
Sword Art Online
Shingeki No Kyojin

I like
Black Lagaan
Gurren Lagann
Code Geass

kingtuck12 · Jul 18, 2013

Hellsing Ultimate

GoofsterStud · Jul 18, 2013

Fate/Zero
Fate Stay (watch fate/zero first)
Fairy Tail
Full Metal Alchemist
Fully Metal Panic

OP anime is amazing, even if it is not as good as the manga and it might be a bit slow in the beginning.

TheVampire · Jul 18, 2013

A Certain Magical Index
Code Geass (its like death note)
Hellsing Ultimate (its badass)
Soul Eater
Gundam 00
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (better than FMA)

Didn't like Soul Eater but definitely checking out Geass, Hellsing, and NGE.

ShyGuy0504 · Jul 18, 2013

Hajime no Ippo. I can't recommend it enough.

DBZ is one of my favorites but if you decide to watch it you should watch Dragon Ball first because you miss so much if you start with Z.

Well if it's the mind game aspect of it that you like then Kaiji.

Nice.
You will defently like Code Geass if Death Note was your favourite.
Very similar with a guy who gets some power and wants to change / take over the world and he is a genius.

Nope. Unless you want to fall asleep.

Kaiji
Akagi
One Outs

Zabuza · Jul 18, 2013

What's some of the most emotional animes? Like some shit that really beats you down, or inspires like Attack on Titan.

The Silver · Jul 18, 2013

Yu Yu Hakusho
Hunter x Hunter
Fate/Zero
Code Geass
Black Lagoon

These up here are all very good anime for people starting out.

Gankutsuou
Berserk
Steins;Gate
Baccano
Monster
Juuni Kokuki
Mushishi

These up here I personally recommend because they're all very good.

Once you've seen a lot of anime go watch the incredible train wreck that is School Days.

When you wanna watch a true masterpiece, go look up Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

FullMetalx117 · Jul 18, 2013

Code Geass, One Piece, and Naoki Urasawa's Monster. That is all.

MormaPope · Jul 18, 2013

Great Teacher Onizuka
Planetes
Berserk

Neon Genesis Evangelion for sure.

MikeMyers · Jul 18, 2013

Check out original DB before you venture into DBZ. Also, if Z's pacing gets too horrid, there's a faster paced version known as Kai in the market.

Is it depressing or inspirational? Or both?

Christina Mackenzie · Jul 18, 2013

Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal (OAV)

FLCL (OAV)

MormaPope · Jul 18, 2013

Gungrave is all sorts of awesome, tragedy, gangster drama, mutants and zombies. Gungrave is fantastic. Trigun also gets really dark towards the end of the series.

More like mindfuck.

It has moments where you're like fuck yeah but for the most part you'll be like "What the fuck Shinji?".

Spoo · Jul 18, 2013

Really enjoyed Kids on the Slope.

Not a huge anime watcher.

Zabuza · Jul 18, 2013

Is FLCL any good?
