RevolverSnake said: Hmmm, hard to say with how little you've seen.Hey guys, I'm new in this Club and thought that I should try out this thread, maybe you can recommend me something amazing. I like Akame Ga Kill though so please don't hurt me. If you want to check out the classics, for now I would recommend: Soukou Kihei Votoms Or if you want something more recent: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Hajime no Ippo |
 |
| Looking at your list it appears to be very hard task to do. All the cute girls shows that popped up in my mind were already in your list. I am not an specialist in OVA's. |
| Yeah..if you can't recommend anything you better not do it.... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
cipheron said: Cute girls ... ecchi, crazy. wacky .... not pure. Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru (try this first) Dog Days (was a very cute show, fun, but stupid and very ecchi) Astarotte no Omocha (can't get less pure than this ;D ) Sabagebu! (airing now, ultra violence, parody, cute girls) Divergence Eve (this also covers sci-fi and gore) Mouretsu Pirates (cute girls x Space pirates) Saki (exactly like girls und Panzer but with mahjong and more ecchi) Chuu-Bra! (little girls form an underpants club. yeah. ) Tantei Opera Milky Holmes (pretty crazy and "lively" characters) Haiyore Nyaruko-san Symphogear Vividred Operation Sky Girls Hope something on there interests you. I second this but forget about Vividred especially if Strike Witches is not your thing. Since you mentioned something like Girls Und Punzer, as suggested here, Saki and Sky Girls will do. |
 |
| Sabagebu is a blast. IDGAF about cute girls but the comedy is gold. I dont think its got that dark humor but then again my standards for what i consider black humor are pretty high (or should I say low?). |
| So, I asked this in the comment section and only got one reply from Nid to check out Taniguchi, Asano, and Tezuka's work. But, I've got enough money right now to get some manga and, to be honest, I'm not sure what to go for as, despite reading 170+ I still consider myself to be rather new to the format as most of what I've read is one-shots/short series. As for preferences, I'm not one to really pigeon hole myself so I'll say: psychological, drama, romance, slice of life, action, and mystery. I guess good characterization is big thing for me, I like to feel as though I really have gotten to know he/she/them or, at least, I like them to be pretty fun to follow if it's like a pure slice of life series. Generally speaking, though, I like characters that have their emotional scars that they don't necessarily have to overcome. Some anime/manga that have these features that I feel do this well are: Evangelion, Beserk, Hunter X Hunter, Monster, Utena, Ruroini Kenshin Trust and Betrayal, and Perfect Blue. Or just characters growing throughout the story like Akage no Anne, Aria, Solanin, Honey and Clover, etc. Of course, a good plot is nice as well. It just isn't always absolutely essential for me. Also, I'm extremely interested in Vagabond, Vinland Saga, Gundam The Origin, Lone Wolf and Cub, and Akira (manga). I don't necessarily care if any of these have the elements I specified above, I just want to hear thoughts on them. |

| I can't speak for Gundam, LWaC and Vinland Saga, but I can say that Vagabond in print would be a really good idea. Not only is Inoue's art in itself worth the investment, but the story as well is great. The methodical character development mediated through amazing fight scenes, fantastic emotional events all done in meticulously detailed artwork. There isn't a dull moment in Vagabond, the Farm Arc isn't bad like some fans like to say, in fact it's one of the better arcs in the whole manga. I would also recommend Dorohedoro. It fits under the psychological and mystery genres. The art itself is pretty messy, however the story--confusing at first-- shapes up to be extremely in depth and there are subtle details that you wouldn't notice without a second read around. It starts out as a combination between a black S-o-L and comedy, which later turns it takes a darker/serious turn and the mystery element is really emphasized. Something that might not fit your needs exactly might be Hoshi no Samidare/Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. It has one of the best cast of characters that I have read in a manga. And does well both parodying the tropes of shonen manga, while also at the same time presenting an interesting plot. The plot is zany, fun and intriguing; characters are more than they seem and characterization is the strongest trait of the manga. Some of the pages would look wonderful in print. Or if you want something relaxing and fun, I would recommend Yotsubato. It's pure fun and Yotsuba is super cute. It's not your next Aria in terms of character development, but it is relaxing and entertaining. Hope I helped. |
 |
| Yeah, thanks for the suggestions. Dorohedoro is actually something that kind of caught my eye after looking at the enlightenment list, I'd heard it had an influence or at least was similar to Tokyo Ghoul which is a manga I'm currently enjoying. Looks interesting. Wait, Vagabond has a farm arc? I thought that was Vinland Saga? I'll certainly look into your suggestions, though I don't know if I'll buy them just yet. I am trying to get something I am fairly confident I'll like for right now and those ones I specified all kind of gave me that feeling. Well, Gundam because I've seen the anime and I hear that this is a more in depth version of a series I already liked pretty well. |

insan3soldiern said: Wait, Vagabond has a farm arc? I thought that was Vinland Saga? Both of them do. And I'd vote for you going for Vinland Saga as well. The action is dynamic and intense, and the characters are interesting and worth getting invested in. I had the chance to buy the first three volumes, but I was broke at the time, so I couldn't. ;_; |
| Yeah, I"m about even on which one to get between Vinland Saga and Vagabond. But that Vagabond Viz Big edition looks mighty tasty.... |

| Guys, I would like to get some recommendation for anime. I want some good comeback after months of anime fasting. TTGL is already one nice feast, and I plan to watch 2-3 more. As for suggestion, I was planning on Kill la Kill and katanagatari, although I would love to get other rec as well. |
 |
| I'm currently looking for a few mangas or animes to pass the time with until the Fall season, and thought about getting some recommendations here. I'm pretty much fine with any genre except Hentai and Yaoi. While a part of my Anime list and most of my Manga list hasn't been rated yet, I think the scores I already filled in should give some pretty good pointers towards what I enjoy and what I don't enjoy, so can anybody think of something that I'd possibly like? Thanks for any recommendations in advance~ |
| Well, in case anyone was curious, I ended up buying Gunslinger Girl vol 1-10 and a personal favorite, Solanin. |

insan3soldiern said: Yeah, I"m about even on which one to get between Vinland Saga and Vagabond. But that Vagabond Viz Big edition looks mighty tasty.... I like how the spines of them form one big picture when you put them together. The only downside is waiting for the next Vizbig volume to come out when you catch up to it. Then again, that's pretty much the downside of getting omnibus/compendium for on-going series, especially for some that go on hiatus.  As for Vinland Saga, I own the first 3 books (6 volumes). The hardcover for them looks nice. I still haven't read them yet, though. |

| could someone recommend me more anime to watch based on my list I love horror and supernatural basically anything dark, twisted or tragic. I will sometimes watch other genres but I prefer the later. |

| Hello every one, Ah, I need some recommendations based on my list and feel free to tell me what you guys think of it :P PS:I have a lot planned to watch due to my ***** Third world ISP :(. |
| Given the small number of titles you watched I guess you should watch some of the stuff of the basic canon because I couldn't recommend anything very specific. What's basic canon? Well, Miyazaki & Takahata's movies and TV series (Conan(1978)), other movies such as Ghost in the Shell and Akira, and series such as Evangelion, Berserk, Utena, Lain, Trigun, Madoka, RahXephon, Haibane Renmei, Monster, K-On make up a good starting point to get an idea of the breath and diversity of the medium. |

Thank you very much for your recommendation. As for my list and the huge planned list, I choose those animes very carefully and specifically based on friends recommendation and based on what I liked or not. I know I still didn't watch them yet, but I am certain that I will absolutely like them :P. I am kind of picky person :P. As for your recommendation, I have added "Akira, Lain, Utena, Trigun, Madoka, Haibane Renmei and RahXephon". And "Ghost in the Shell, Monster, Evangelion and Berserk" are already on the list, and they are the first priority. As for Conan, I know it is a great anime but I just don't like it :P. Any ways, thank you very much for your recommendations, again. Be sure that I will like them all, if otherwise they wouldn't be on the list now :D. |

| Good thing you didnt choose K-ON. @Guaporense K-ON seems like a really awkward choice to recommend amongst all the other titles you mentioned. IMO its garbage, but disconsidering my personal taste, it doesnt fit in at all with the rest of your mentions. |

MadCheese said: Hmmm, a better alternative to K-On maybe something like Hidamari Sketch or Azumanga Daioh (though both are more on the comedy side than K-On as well which I suppose can make them more appealing in some way), if we are talking pure K-On inspiration (albeit develop on the genre traits better than other shows in the genre)... then I would point you in the direction of shows like "Bamboo Blade" or "Sora no Woto".baki502 said: Good thing you didnt choose K-ON. @Guaporense K-ON seems like a really awkward choice to recommend amongst all the other titles you mentioned.

| Hi there to anyone who reads this, I'm just new in the club and saw this thread now that I'm looking for something new to watch, as long as I don't really know what to see whether from my ptw or something different. I'd like recommendations of someone looking at my list... But I can say that I usually watch seinen/drama stories, even though I'm able to watch almost everything as long as it is well done (not hentai or yaoi though... x'D (please)). |
  |
| @up Check out Haibane Renmei. I think it should fit your taste. |
 |
It seems to be fine so I'm giving it a try, I saw your "favorite anime" and I'm giving a try to the 5 of them though, first time I meet someone with such similar tastes in that matter OwO |
|
| Based on your list alone I'm not 100% sure you would like these, but I'd recommend: Diebuster Tatami Galaxy Hunter x Hunter Berserk Monster And maybe Kino's Journey and Code Geass. |
| I didn't know whether you'd seen Code Geass or not, but some people really like it so I figured it was worth a shot. If you don't like it, then you probably won't have too much of a problem here, since a lot of our members don't like it either. I don't hate it myself, but you probably wouldn't see me calling it a classic either. My sig is just a banner from this club that anyone can use if they want. It is from Kino's Journey, I picked it because that's one of my favorite shows. |
| Code Geass is the greatest parody of LotGH ever made. |
