| I really enjoyed Seirei no moribito (has very few fight scenes but quite good and not for the sake of it) Well, i liked the story of Shinsekai yori and the whole setting thing You might also like madoka magica, mushishi (well thought out concept but it doesnt really have a plot?), |
| Ergo Proxy and Shinsekai Yori do not have well thought out plot and characters. Both feature convoluted nonsensical plots for the sake of confusing the viewer. Shinsekai Yori goes so far as to give the viewer false answers multiple times only to completely retcon itself just to seem mysterious in later episodes. I would still recommend Shinsekai Yori to the OP, but I wouldn't describe what is essentially a pretentious retelling of 1984 as "well thought out". The story from SSY has been told hundreds of times in books most people on MAL haven't read and movies nobody should ever see. Ergo Proxy is a good show, I can't speak on if it is entertaining, but I can say that it is again, convoluted for the sake of appearing mysterious when in reality it just doesn't make any sense. |

| No one's saying these anime are completely original nor did the OP say he wanted such anime. Disowning recommendations because they seem similar to series/movies outside of Japan isn't the aim of this thread. |

| Thirding Baccano . It's short and confusing at first, but by the end of it you'll probably love it. The characters are also very charismatic. Bakemonogatari Shingeki no kyojin Kuroko no Basket |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

Tavor said: bergil said: Monster Cowboy Bebop GITS SAC Ergo Proxy Lain +1 +1 Some really good recs here, I would also add Madoka Magica everything in the show has a purpose and very little time is wasted all the main cast get great development, with great foreshadowing and plot reveals. The fact that just talking about the characters can spoil the series, really just show how well its done. |

These are some of the best anime out there. The stories are masochistic and are usually built upon social/political commentary and the failures of human society. Why is it that none of the series above are on your list? Also Texhnolyze is the very definition of mental masochism, and it's amazing. He made no input on series involving dystopian undertones, so I don't get why you're trying to be a smartass here. I'm seconding the list above, along with most of the things already posted (I'll list them if you actually care). To add a few of my own; Haibane Renmei - Personally thought it had a well balanced plot progression. Kara no Kyoukai - movie series, same difference. Katanagatari - Same author as the monogatari series. Loved it personally. Fate/Zero - For lack of ufotable. |

| Shinsekai Yori. Ignore Solvite's retarded post which I'm about to attack. Solvite said: Ergo Proxy and Shinsekai Yori do not have well thought out plot and characters.

Shinsekai Yori goes so far as to give the viewer false answers multiple times only to completely retcon itself just to seem mysterious in later episodes.

Ergo Proxy is a good show, I can't speak on if it is entertaining, but I can say that it is again, convoluted for the sake of appearing mysterious when in reality it just doesn't make any sense. 1984 has its merits for being a pioneer in dystopian settings, but overall it's bad and you should feel ashamed of yourself. George Orwell's paranoid communist mind could only come up with a black and white morality, his whole setting is based on a bunch of retards hungry for power. Saying every dystopian setting is a "retelling" of 1984 is basically saying nothing can be original, because everything falls under many tropes, and a dystopia is one of them. Shinsekai Yori is a very well-thought and original setting with a bunch of anti-villains trying to deal with a very complicated issue. |

| A lot of people may disagree with me on some of these, but some of personal favorites are: Guilty Crown (Mecha like Code Geass and extremely similar) Break Blade (Also Mecha) Attack on Titan (Still airing) Fate/Zero (I haven't seen this one yet but almost everyone I hear talk about say it's good) Kanon (2006) Is This a Zombie (second season was terrible) Trinity Blood (Hard to get into and has a bad ending but worth watching) Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (Lots of feels) Some of these you would probably like and others maybe not as much but I'm sure you'll find something good from this list. |

| Mouryo no Hako (has a well-thought story and decent pacing) Mugen no Ryvius(heavily characte- driven drama with a sci-fi setting and pretty good direction) Higashi no Eden (goes almost hand in hand with Death Note minus the supernatural element) I'm hesitant to suggest Hyouka, but you could give it a try too, it has nice visuals and mysteries that fit an anime with high school setting. You could also try "Psychic Detective Yakumo", though the manga is clearly superior, and Ghost Hunt. |
