Does Mononoke ever get uhhhh... not boring? I generally love that type of stuff, but reading books with similar stories is more interesting than the bit of it I watched.

If you watch the first arc (episodes 1 & 2) and find it too slow paced or vague then you probably won't enjoy the rest of the series. Personally, I loved it - and Ayakashi, the series of horror stories that preceded Mononoke.

That's the one with the haunted room in the whorehouse (or inn?) or something like that? It's been a while and I can't remember it very well, except for the fact that my books with little Japanese myths and folklore were infinitely more entertaining yet covered what I assume is very similar material judging by the first story and everything I've read about it.

Alright, serious response:

Urusei Yatsura. My favorite Rumiko Takahashi work and arguably (re?)created the Magical Girlfriend genre as we know it.

Gungrave is sick, but hated the animation of the group when they went necro. Tsuneo Imahori's music is great though.

Hmmmm....

Cowboy Bebop
House of Five Leaves
Gantz
Blue Gender
Trigun


maybe try those.
Click to expand...
yeah gungrave character are amazing.
animation in the last episodes were amazing but no so much in the first half.

Have you watched Gankutsuou yet? If not, then no, you haven't.
Click to expand...
of course i watched it.
masterpiece.

Code Geass is the greatest anime of all time!
Click to expand...
saw it, good but overrated.
it also got one of the shittiest robots designs.

Where's ANYTHING Macross? (seriously, Macross Plus at the very least, if not Macross & Macross II)
What about 3x3 Eyes?
Appleseed (personal favorite here, not sure of others)
Click to expand...
saw them.
damn i need to check macross.
I recommend Gantz. Its only 26 episodes, has some good action, pretty intense drama wise, and can be funny at times (although kinda in a sick way). Most of all it has a pretty fun concept, especially if you are a videogame fan. Seeing how you liked Berserk, I could imagine you really enjoying Gantz.

great stuff.


Don't listen to him. Watch Azumanga Daioh instead, the work that K-On! tried and failed to emulate properly.
Click to expand...
i hate this style so i'm not going to watch anyone of them.


I'm not even the biggest anime person around, and I've seen more than you listed, but I only watched the fighting stuff of the 80's and 90's, and some gems like Samurai Champloo, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note etc. - now I just follow the "Big Three".

Others can make a proper list, it'd even have stuff I've seen but I really couldn't list them myself.
Click to expand...
i watched way more than my list but i picked my absolute favorite.

If you want something dramatic/realism, watch Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 subbed. I watched all 12 episodes today and I was like wow. I could see that actually happening to Japan.

You better watch all the Ghibli films if possible!

Anything with Steven Blum or Wendee Lee seems to be good.

Samurai Champloo
Scryed
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Gurren Lagann
Bleach (hey I like it most of the time except for some of the filler)

The best show that anime can offer. I adore the Count's character.

Code Geass is also a great show.

thanks for mentioning them though :D .

i like the idea of the anime you mentioned.

B't X (Action)

I would say watch Gundam Victory, it has a really nice feeling to it but prepare to be constantly frustrated by the shit that the bad guys pull. Gundam ZZ is pretty crappy I would say; you don't really need to watch it unless you really want to see what stuff happens before Char's Counter Attack.

i watched the first two or three episodes of victory and it didn't click with me specially the characters.
i read gundam zz summary before watching char counter attack.
i consider char counter attack my most favorite anime movie.

The start of Victory is incredibly weird. (episode 4 is actually the first episode). It's probably worth seeing up to 5-10 before you judge it.

You'd probably like princess mononoke, castle of cagliostro, nausicaa and maybe castle in the sky out of the ghibli films if those are the only two you have seen.

Haibane Renmei, the most beautiful anime you will ever watch.

I agree with Bootaaay, Mononoke is great.

I haven't watched anime in a long time, but back in the day I had a friend who had all the seasons of Ranma 1/2. I actually thought it was pretty good for a couple seasons, then everything went happy go lucky and the show went to shit. I think it is season 4 when the show starts going downhill. Maybe later into season 3, been awhile since I have seen it.

I also saw Cowboy Bebop that was pretty awesome all the way through.
Click to expand...
It went downhill when I couldn't tell which episodes were filler and which ones weren't. :(

I just ended up reading the manga.

The last anime I watched was Blood +, and that was ages ago. Oh, I also watched the first three episodes of FMA Brotherhood...

I think I'll follow some of the recommendations on this thread.

Also, watch (series that weren't mentioned ITT):

Death Note
Elfen Lied
Saikano
Speed Grapher

You haven't witnessed greatness in anime until you've watched Monster.

watched death note and speed grapher but the other two didn't click with me.
Photon: The Idiot Adventures is one I just watched not too long ago. It was amazing. There are six episodes (it's too short, imo. a lot of things don't get explained) and it's jam-packed with action and comedy. Beware of nudity.

i just remembered some great stuff which i really liked.
Slam Dunk

I thought the same thing at first. A friend of mine wanted me to watch it and turned it on for me. I thought I'd have to suffer through it (even a good ways through the first episode), but it really picked up, and I started laughing way more than I thought I would. But, yeah, not for kiddies.

All of the other good ones seemed to have been named here. Just making sure another great one got a mention. :D
