[Toozul]

Thanks Taffy and Caenis. I'll look for those books next time i go to the library.

Eureka Seven: Reason? I enjoy the anime because it has a good story to it, the emotions and the fighting scenes in the anime is great. It has certain points to the point where it will make you feel like you need to start crying. And the atmosphere feeling to it is fantastic and it has great art work. Naruto: One of the best animes out there of all time. Has great work into it and I enjoy the Naruto vs Sasuke scenes. And Sasuke is my favorite character. .Hack//SIGN Series: This anime series is one of the other animes I do enjoy watching. It is a based MMO anime and manga. The series is great, The art work is amazing, And the OST's in the anime are really good. Especially in .Hack//SIGN. Yuki Kajiura is a great musician. I highly recomened watching this if you haven't yet.

The main character is a paranoid, delusional, poor college student that stumbles upon a method of time travel. He's not delusional! He knows exactly what he's doing! He is mad scientist, it's so COOL. Sonuvabitch. I'll jot down my favorites when I get home from school. Got finals today ;A; EDIT: Okay, so obviously Steins;Gate is amazing~ The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of my tops. ESPECIALLY the Endless Eight. I don't care what anyone says. Mushi-shi is about this guy who travels around solving problems that mushi are causing K-ON! is just "Adorableness: the Anime" Mushi-shi, K-ON!, and Redline (along with Haruhi Suzumiya) are so good that I bought the DVDs It's not an anime, but Katawa Shoujo is WONDERFUL. Best story out of anything I've ever watched/read. I definitely recommend it. And I'm currently watching Oreimo. It's definitely not as bad as people say it is

[Wolfwood]

Code Geass Death Note Zegapain Purely because of the 'mind' aspect. But I like action interwoven with that too. Hellsing: Ultimate Gantz (manga) For gore. Samurai Champloo Cowboy Beebop Smooth, jazzy and cool. Trigun Classic. And I'm currently watching Higurashi.

Someone watch: Serial Experiments Lain .... mindfuck. "Serial Experiments Lain describes "the Wired" as the sum of human communication networks, created with the telegraph and telephone services, and expanded with the Internet and subsequent networks. The anime assumes that the Wired could be linked to a system that enables unconscious communication between people and machines without physical interface. The storyline introduces such a system with the Schumann resonance, a property of the Earth's magnetic field that theoretically allows for unhindered long distance communications. If such a link was created, the network would become equivalent to Reality as the general consensus of all perceptions and knowledge. The thin line between what is real and what is possible would then begin to blur."

Kyouma is an awesome, obnoxious, entertaining and corny character, and I think he's great. Definitely one of the best mad scientists I have ever seen. I loved Steins;Gate primarily because of Kyouma...well, maybe equally Kyouma and the plot, the developments were fascinating except for the last two episodes. Anime shows can never do the end justice. Mushi-shi was good too. Hellsing: Ultimate Gantz (manga) For gore. Samurai Champloo Cowboy Beebop Smooth, jazzy and cool. Trigun Classic. And I'm currently watching Higurashi. I never did finish Hellsing: Ultimate. Or the Hellsing manga. I tend to forget about a series if I can't download/purchase the entire series at once. I watched the first couple episodes years ago, but it took so long for each OVA to come out. I hope you like Higurashi, Wolfwood. It was one of my favorites about three years ago, and still has a special place in my heart. The second season isn't as thrilling as the first, but it's still very satisfying.

[Ryralane]

Yeah, I know you weren't dissing him :P But I liked the ending :o Also, if you like Higurashi, I recommend Umineko. It's the same universe, but instead of horror, it's more mystery. (And if you want the full experience, go read the sound novels~ They're brilliant~)

[Caenis]

(And if you want the full experience, go read the sound novels~ They're brilliant~) =O I was not aware this existed. I have added this to my list of anime I must watch. Thanks for the suggestion! So does this mean I can find English patches to Higurashi visual novels? I tried finding patches a few years ago, but nothing was completed. I've always wanted to read them.

[Ryralane]

I don't know if Higurashi has been translated, but you can get the entire translated Umineko VN at witch-hunt.com And thus, the Umineko legend has expanded a little bit farther. Muahaha~

Liking it so far. ^_^ I assumed it was just going to be a sick/twisted psychological horror.... but I can see it's not so simple now.

So this is a thread for Anime only or can I post some western animation here aswell?

[SilverJay]

Bleach- Even though it's pretty mainstream, I've always loved the classic sci-fi battle/action scenes. Baka and Test- A shorter Anime, but I still liked it nonetheless. It made me wish my school was like that. Naruto- Classic, loved it since the old Toonami. Dragon Ball/Z- Need I say more? The World God Only Knows- Intresting Show. Comedic/I'm a bit like the main Character.

[Taffy]

The World God Only Knows- Intresting Show. Comedic/I'm a bit like the main Character. Started watching that the other day. Only finished one episode, though it's an interesting premise.

[fOrceez]

So this is a thread for Anime only or can I post some western animation here aswell? Western animation is cool too Sorry for the slow reply, lol!

[Wolfwood]

Then I'll post:

[Caenis]

I've been watching the Boondocks reruns on TV, I'm really enjoying the series. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to start watching it. I assumed I wouldn't like the show because I didn't like the comic strip. I'm glad that the show didn't include many of the author's political views in it. It's a much stronger series this way. Granted, I was also young when I first encountered the Boondocks comic, and might not have cared or understood some of the comments made about politics.

[ColdCrisis]

At the moment I'm totally nuts for Young Justice! The animation quality is really really good for a standard western comic animation. It doesn't need much knowledge about the universe, but regularly introduces heroes and villains, the loyal reader is familiar with in a new light/story/origin. Right now its a season 2 with 20 something episodes Spoiler for Preview/trailer thingy: I've been also watching Naruto since the first episode,always up to date,now starting with the War Arc.

[Ryralane]

Since we're tossing out Western animation, I'll give a shout-out to Wakfu. It's brilliant~

[Beefer]

I see that there are some anime lovers here in dream views. Oh well then if I am already here I will drop some anime series that I like. 1.Full Metal Alchemist 2.Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (A must watch anime in my opinion ^^) 3.Clannad 4.Katekyo Hitman Reborn (I am surprised it wasn't mentioned) 5.Mirai Nikki 6.DeathNote 7.Code Geas 8.Naruto 9.One Piece 10.The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Note that I just wrote them in a random order so the order doesn't say which anime series I liked better. Even though FMAB is clearly the best! (in my opinion... )

[Taffy]

I'm playing the clannad visual novel right now (though I took a break for a bit). Heard it gets really sad at the end. Also, Katekyo Hitman Reborn was the first anime I've seen (in Japanese that is, or else it'd be pokemon/yugioh).

[Beefer]

If you still like reborn then you should know that the manga is still coming out so if you are into manga you can still watch it (or read it in this case ). Oh and where did you download clannad's visual novel? I was looking for it some time ago and couldn't find it.

Oh and where did you download clannad's visual novel? I was looking for it some time ago and couldn't find it. I started to read the manga, but I didn't get very far after where the anime leaves off. I may go back and continue it. I got Clannad here: Clannad | Eroge Download

[redboyryn]

Does anyone watch Claymore? (best manga and anime ever)

[StaySharp]
