Uh, what?
R Heath craze?
Go watch Gundam 00 then, if you want a more serious and dramatic show. Hits some very relevant modern (and future) issues too.Quote:

I'm very picky with the anime I do like. I found most of it to lack any substance and just border on fucking stupid. I hate most of the ones with magic and other bullshit, save for the Miyazaki films and Death Note.
Wraith, you should really watch Mushi-Shi, its very different compared to other animes and even if you don't like anime, chances are you'll like it.
To humor you I actually looked up a synopsis of it. Try again.Quote:

Man, I thought anyone would end up liking Mushi-Shi... its actually in the top 10 of pretty much any anime list.

Blue Gender
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note
Gundam Wing
The 08th MS Team
Mobile Fighter G
Samurai Champloo
Blue Submarine No. 6
I also enjoyed, to some degree, Eureka 7. Though at times Renton's behavior and his relationship with Eureka gets quite annoying. Also the underlying plot doesn't really make any sense at all. Reminds me of the ending to Blue Gender. That show is great until like the last episode when the writers seemed to take a shit on the script.
Oh you've watched Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo... you may want to go with Wolf's Rain which is by the same creators.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...me.php?id=1806
I'll recommend some more tomorrow, but I need to go to bed. ;_;
OH and also, I haven't watched it personally, but my brother has and loved it.
Noein: To Your Other Self: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...me.php?id=5887
I've seen Wolf's Rain. It was entertaining but nothing I would actually keep on my HDD and watch more than once.
Try elfen lied. It gets up its own ass in bullshit sometimes, but it is only 12 episodes so it doesn't ware on your nerves to much (like the manga did). It has a ton of gore/nudity, so that makes it good? You decide, I liked it:
http://www.imeem.com/people/EvV8TmJ/...imation_video/
If you want robots: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Anime crack: FLCL (it's good, but you will be saying "what the fuck?" all the way though)
But when you rewatch FLCL, theres loads you can spot that you missed the first time around.
That's a very good list. The 08th MS Team had to be the one of the best gundam series, despite how short it is.Quote:

And in retrospect Wing really wasn't very good...
Don't forget 0080.Quote:

Also, tossing another show out there....RahXephon. And take a look at TTGL.
RahXephon is almost a complete clone of Evangelion. Don't bother watching if you're cynical about that sort of thing.Quote:

It's still a good show though. I can hardly stand the bs "symbolism" Eva throws around and Shinji's retarded whining, but Rah takes a similar premise, refines it, and makes it a lot more enjoyable (and less mindfuck-y). Rahxephon is one of my favorites, while Eva isn't even close.Quote:

Wraith. Try Wolfs Rain, S-cry-Ed, and Paranoia Agent.
That's a very evil avatar of Exia, where ever did you find it?Quote:

Seen them all. Wolf's Rain was mediocre but S-cry-Ed was just...well stupid. Like I said I'm very picky over my anime. I lean towards more realist storylines and universes like in GITS and Cowboy Bebop. Miyazaki's work is the only eception.Quote:

also: Wraith, you want realistic storylines? watch 00! :D It's set in Anno Domini, the source of most conflict is due to lack of resources and orbital elevators/ring of solar panels are built around Earth to harvest energy, lots of political stuff going on, and touches on racial conflicts, child soldiers, moral ambiguity, and *possibly*
I was surprised I didn't notice that. I haven't been keeping up with the show due to certain.....circumstances...

Is that gundam wearing a cape? WHY?
Because it gives it's sword Super Style Powerz™

But you would want to carry a big rag the size of a city block around?
Srsly? Wouldn't the fibers rip with the slightest movement at that scale?

For those of you who are Evangelion fans:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...summer-of-2009
Already found it, bitch. ;o
It looks like it was infected by Devil Gundam or some shit. Way too evil for Exia.
Okay, so I just finished watching End of Evangelion.
...
WHAT THE SHIT DID I JUST WATCH.
Hey, it's better than the original ending.
Edit:
Have any of you played any visual novels? They're rather cool. It's almost like a manga but in color and with voice acting. Some are pretty amazing, like Tsukuhime and Fate Stay Night. Now here's a bit of controversy... a lot of the really amazing ones are actually eroges (Including the ones I just mentioned). Now don't be discouraged by that, the eroticness of them is simply a separate entity from the compelling stuff (Story, characters etc). Although there aren't very many visual novels officially released in English, the die hard fans have translated the awesome ones. Here's a list of some of the fantranslated visual novels (Downloads [For the free ones] and Buy links [For the ones that cost money] are available on this page)
http://shii.org/translate/
One visual novel has been in the process of translation lately (And it's 95% finished at that). Its entitled: Chaos;Head (Don't worry this one isn't an eroge :p).
Here's a sypnopsis for it.
So far, 2 episodes of the anime have been released fansubbed and it seems pretty cool so far. (If you don't like the anime, don't judge it by it, because some of the most amazing visual novels have had shitty animes). A beta patch for the visual novel has also been released. http://www.mediafire.com/?gomjyedywyg (Everything is translated besides the pictures, which will remain unedited until the next and most likely final patch is released).Quote:
Chaos;Head is a Japanese visual novel developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus with gore, psychology, and science fiction elements. The game is described by the development team as a "Delusional Science NVL" . The game's premise revolves around a high school student named Takumi Nishijō who unknowingly walks into the scene of a gruesome murder on his way home. More mysterious events starts happening afterwards as more gruesome murders occurs in the area. Takumi struggles to cope with reality and the delusions he experiences as he tries to avoid being getting caught by the perpetrator behind the chain of murders.
Here's the Opening for the visual novel (the song is pretty awesome, it's entitled: "Find the Blue"):

Who you callin pedo. http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/emot-colbert.gif
LOLILOLILOLILOLILOLI
So I watched King of Braves : GaoGaiGar and GaoGaiGar Final (the sequel)...
For the first ~25 episodes it's a generic kid's show about giant robots with generic villains. There's very little development on the part of the antagonists with a monster-of-the-week approach to plot development. It uses an irritatingly large amount of stock footage (comprising anywhere from 1/8 to 1/4 of a 24-minute episode) and a very facepalm-inducing transforming vehicles aspect - both of these don't totally go away until far later in the show, which really detract from its quality. The opening theme will make you wince, as will a very large number of moments throughout the series...
But then around episode 29 it gets insanely, fuck-yeah-ing awesome.
It's like halfway through the show the producers realized that they would appeal to a far bigger audience if they turned down the suckiness. The stock footage is trimmed, the antagonists get a better motive than "lets rule world lol", and there will be scenes where you go "OMG NOOOOO :(" or "FUCK YESSSSSSSSSS :awesome:." Granted, the childish elements take a while to fade way, and even after the first FUCK YES point there will be facepalm moments that send the show plunging back to the failure that it started out as, but by the end they've been completely overshadowed by the aura of BURNING PASSION AND COURAGE that the characters emit.
While you're waiting for the suck to go away, the show (inadvertantly at times) lets you have some good laughs involving :
-Rocket-powered rollerskates
-A unicorn mech equipped with energy weapons made from freezers and microwaves piloted by a homeless guy
-A fire truck that shoots fire
-Penchinon
-The writers' terrible understanding of the English Language; results include a supposedly American character exclaiming "great!" when she is informed of a railway gun being aimed at a city
-A gay robot that fights using a gold-plated key-tar that shoots lasers
-General suckiness
-WTF moments that, I guarantee, overshadow anything else you have ever seen.
I went into this show with my dislike of most mecha anime (I have yet to enjoy a single Gundam series - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has up until now been the only mecha anime I liked) and really had my doubts up until said turning point...
But by the end of the main series I loved it, and with a few minor hiccups the sequel was even more amazing. If you're going to watch it, I'd reccomend seeing the first few episodes just to become acquainted with the main characters and the premise, but then just skip around until 29. (Not skip over, because some episodes *do* have cool stuff regardless of the early-on suck factor. The first 5-10 minutes can usually be an indicator of if something important will happen or not.) It's ~50 episodes in total, no reason to waste time watching the entirety of an episode with nothing interesting happening.
In conclusion, it'll probably be worth the time investment, unless you suck and can't appreciate BURNING PASSION AND COURAGE.
All episodes are on YouTube. Except the very last one. YT is a faggot and thought it would be funny to make it cut off in the middle, which caused me to rage like I've never raged before.
I just started watching Higurashi. It's getting pretty good so far.
Higurashi is reeeeeeeeeally scary. At times it's kind of hard to beleive, but its overall awesome. Very brutal scenes ahoy. :)
So far, I'm loving every story arc. My favorite character right now has gotta be Mion.
'Boose, you may want to try the visual novels. Higurashi's has only been partly translated... but the new one, Umineko is actually almost fully translated.
Protip: The visual novels are always way better than the animes. :-3
http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/in...o_Naku_Koro_ni
Downloaded and watched Spice and Wolf...
Over all I think it was pretty good (looking forward to season 2), has that whole cheesy love type thing going on. Of course, I liked Ah! My Goddess and Chobits... so I dunno. Anyway, I believe it's a total furry show, so if you're a furry it's for you. I'm not a furry, but something about the fox ears was kind of... oh gawd :smithicide:
Anyway, yeah, download and watch if you haven't.
And yes, I got the idea to watch it from the updated youtube post with the opening as the test video...
Wolf girls aren't furry dammit! >.< Also, what a coincidence, I just finished that series 2 days ago. Overall I loved the non-cliche-ness of it. Aside from Horo's minor annoyances, it was fairly mature. Art is great too. Would definitely recommend it.
Just got done watching the first season of Higurashi and I gotta say, every character has issues.
I watched one episode. I thought it was boring...and the annoying lolis didn't help. How was the rest of the series?Quote:

Why does the show Samurai Champloo sound familiar to me?
It played on adult swim for a while. It's not that great...Quote:
