| I'm currently in the process of picking anime back up from my dropped list and giving them a second chance. So I ask you, what do you feel are the very best anime on my dropped list? There are plenty to choose from, so I will ask that you limit yourself to your top 5 picks. The more frequently an anime is suggested, the more likely am to pick it back up. I promise I will do my best to put my prejudices aside this time around. Here's the list. As there are so many anime on my dropped list, a shortcut method might be to: Go to the shared anime section on my page, order our shared anime by your ratings, find anime that you have given a high rating to but that I gave no rating to (I don't rate dropped anime), and finally check to see whether those anime are on my dropped list or not. It would also be greatly appreciated if you adjusted your suggestions based on my tastes, but if our tastes aren't compatible to begin with, then maybe it's best not to recommend me anything at all. My interests mainly lie in mature, serious, and action-oriented anime. Favorite genres include sci-fi, fantasy, adventure, music, and psychological. Least favorite genres include romance, slice of life, sports, and drama. If applicable, be sure to let me know if a show doesn't get good until a certain episode, arc, or season. Too often I have dropped something prematurely because I didn't know it was going to make a complete 180 turn halfway through the series and suddenly become good. |

| FLCL is a great anime and it's short and sweet. I've only read the manga of Bakuman, Bleach and Dogs: Bullets and Carnage but the anime should be close to the manga (from what I've heard). |
  ♡ Harder Daddy ♡ |
| i think you should pick up: high school of the dead Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Elfen Lied D.Gray-man another Ao no Exorcist These anime are epic you will enjoy them. |
| Pick up: Air Gear Angel Beats! Bakuman. Black Rock Shooter OVA (it's only 1 episode) Blood-C (get the uncensored BD version) D.Gray-man Denpa Teki na Kanojo ef - a tale of memories El Cazador de la Bruja Ga-rei Zero Genshiken Hayate no Gotoku! Higurashi no naku Koro ni Hourou Musuko Kuroko no Basket Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Nabari no Ou Nana Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Speed Grapher Tegami Bachi Utawarerumono Zetsuen no Tempest Zettai Karen Children You have a lot of decent series on your dropped list... What made you drop them? And sorry there's more than 5 here, but those are the ones I think are worth the watch. There's something in each one that makes them worth it. Blood-C doesn't get good until after the halfway mark, and the ending is the biggest plot-twist I've probably ever seen. Bakuman's second and third seasons are way better than the first, and the same goes for Tegami Bachi. D.Gray-man really picks up halfway through. |

| Angel Beats! Blue Gender Elfen Lied Highschool of the Dead Mobile Suit Gundam 00 These are purely based on my tastes which may differ from yours, but all of these anime I rated 8 and above upon finishing them. |
kingcity20 said: Oh for the love of -_- nvm gotta love MAL |
| Kaze no Stigma Highschool of the dead Star Driver They're no masterpieces, but I found them enjoyable. |
| 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... |
| Higurashi no naku koro ni Jigoku Shoujo Katanagatari I'd also suggest Chihayafuru, Spice and Wolf, Princess Tutu and Kaleido Star but they don't seem to fit with your taste. |
| Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Katanagatari Higurashi no naku koro ni Densetsu no yuusha no densetsu Jigoku Shoujo |
 |
| Elfen Lied Angel Beats! Highschool of the Dead Another Ao No Exorcist They're all great, you should definitely give them another chance, especially Angel Beats! and Elfen Lied. |
 |
| you dropped HOTD and SAO?? dude watch them.. |
 |
| to drop Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica sao is a crime :P |
| My favorite quotes from animes: Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies. I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass We are humans. - Shinsekai yori 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge Honey & Clover Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita Mahou Shoujou Madoka Magica Mawaru Penguindrum |
| Keep Elfen Lied Dropped. Mawaru Penguindrum Honey and Clover Higurashi |

 |
Mikan5 said: Whoa you dropped a lot of stuff! Soul Eater Scrapped Princess Gintama Angel Beats! That's a few that I think you should take up again.... I'd say you can safely keep those dropped until you get past the good anime... |
| How do people get to 2000 hours when I'm already this bored? |
| Bakuman, Black Cat, D. Gray man, C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control, Chihayafuru are some you can pick up from the first 75 on your dropped list. List too big to look through! |

| Thanks all, and of course more recs are always welcome. Looks like Madoka Magica, Mawaru Penguindrum, and Higurashi will be first in line as they are were recommended quite frequently and because they interest me a bit more than the rest. I'm considering a few of the others that were recommended, but I'll wait for more recs before I decide to watch those. Gundam 00 is a distinct possibility, I suspect this is one of the better Gundam series on my dropped list, I will probably give this one another go. I'm a bit hesitant to pick back up stuff like Highschool of the Dead, Elfen Lied, and Angel Beats, but I will consider them only because they were recommended so often. I think I'll need some extra persuasion on these ones though... |
|
| Mirai Nikki, Soul Eater, Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, Sword Art Online and Angel Beats! A couple notes: Soul Eater's ending is real bad. Sword Art Online's 2nd half is definitely not as good as the 1st half, especially in terms of animation. |
| So large dropped list... Why people actually drop something, without watching it??? Well, it's another topic... Accel World Angel Beats! D.Gray-man Fate/stay night Gosick Guilty Crown Highschool of the Dead Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Mirai Nikki Rozen Maiden Shakugan no Shana Soul Eater Sword Art Online Trinity Blood Enjoy them ^_^ |
| First of all WOW,you dropped a lot of anime XD. Now back on topic i recommend: Bakuman Angel beats Highschool of Dead Another Vampire Knight Elfen Lied Gosick |
 |
| D.gray-man (loved it) angel beats (loved it too) toshokan sensou (not really one of the popular, but really good though) |
 |
| Another Ga-Rei: Zero Mirai Nikki Magi Chihayafuru Blood+ Keep Accel World and Blood-C on the dropped list. |
| And I thought I dropped a lot of anime. I'll limit it to ten. Bakemonogatari Katanagatari Kekkaishi Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Noir Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan Scrapped Princess Yakitate!! Japan Yu Yu Hakusho |
 |
| Noir Blood+ (gets good once Diva appears) Madoka (gets more serious after 3rd episode) Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino (more action oriented than the first season). |
  |
| Holy shit dude, we're friends on MAL and I didn't even know you dropped this much anime...anyway I recommend: FLCL Akage no Anne Aria the Animation Nana Revolutionary Girl Utena |
| You dropped so many. We have similar tastes so I suggest you take my word for it. These are the ones you should pick up (especially the bold): Aa! Megami-sama! Baldr Force Exe Resolution Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Blood+ Blue Gender Genshiken Gintama Golden Boy Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kaleido Star Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu Maison Ikkoku Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Oh! Edo Rocket Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Soul Eater Sunabouzu Yu Yu Hakusho |
| Looks like I will put Katanagatari and FLCL second in line. These are at least short enough that I can force my way through if I have to. First in line is still Madoka Magica, Mawaru Penguindrum, and Higurashi. I'm also considering Nana, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Gintama. I'm gonna look more into these right now, maybe I went into them with the wrong mindset. @Tarextherex - I will consider watching more of Galaxy Express 999, I mainly dropped that one due to its length, seemed like classic Leiji though. I might also watch more of .hack//SIGN as that one seems to pop to me for some reason. I watched at least half of Mysterious Cities of Gold, never could get into that one though; it had an interesting enough premise, but the execution just wasn't cutting it for me. Rurouni Kenshin I will consider. Romario3210 said: Haha, how could you have missed it?! Yeah, I have a bad habit of being quick to prejudge. My old sociology teacher would be proud of me though, he always encouraged people to embrace their prejudices because it serves as a huge time saver and a natural safety mechanism.Holy shit dude, we're friends on MAL and I didn't even know you dropped this much anime. |

You stated on your profile that you don't like it if it's heavy on romance and drama, so as much as I love it, Nana might not be such a good idea. But you should definitely give a chance to the rest, especially Utena and FLCL. I don't know why you dropped Bakemonogatari, but that shit is great as well, and we have a pretty good compatibility, so you might like it too. Or don't. :) Dunky said: I'm a bit hesitant to pick back up stuff like Highschool of the Dead, Elfen Lied, and Angel Beats, but I will consider them only because they were recommended so often.

zoknimano said: Thanks, that type of input is very helpful. Perhaps that show just isn't for me. I really wanted to like it, but drama and romance are just very hard for me to watch. I don't remember much from Bakemonogatari, so maybe I will give that one another go.You stated on your profile that you don't like it if it's heavy on romance and drama, so as much as I love it, Nana might not be such a good idea. |

| This is probably the biggest dropped list I have ever seen. |
| Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna Fantastic Children Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Dennou Coil |
 |
| Didn't you drop all of them for a reason? That's why its a drop list and not an on-hold. |
 |
Backpainz said: Didn't you drop all of them for a reason? Doesn't look like that to me. OP probably just put everything he comes across on his dropped list. The amount and wide range of anime defies any logical explanation. |
 |
| Higurashi no naku koro ni Madoka FLCL Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 ^ Pick these back up |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| NANA Paradise Kiss Onii-sama e... All are drama. |
| You dropped Sword Art Online? :O You should definitely give these animes a second chance: Sword Art Online Ao No Exorcist Fairy Tail High School of The Dead K-On! Mirai Nikki Naruto Shippuden Seiken no Blacksmith And may I ask, how did you get that theme on your list? (I didn't even know you could change your theme) |
 |
| Mirai Niki Higurashi - Can see why you might drop this but most people that pull through enjoy it in the end Another School days - You have to experience this, whether it be jealous rage or a single smile. |

Tarextherex said: I didn't realize this, guess I will have to watch Utena first then. I will make sure and watch at least half of Utena before judging it this time around, and also be extra attentive while watching.Oh if you're considering to have Penguindrum first in line you might want to watch Utena before it since it might get you to enjoy Penguindrum more due the various Utena references it has. I wasn't really into romance or the like myself but Utena blew me away, truly the «evangelion of shoujo» as they say. To enjoy it fully you really need to not take too much things at face value since it got tons of symbolism, and you need to stay interested even during the «filler» episodes since as silly/wtf as it may seem, pretty much everything in this anime has a purpose. Penguindrum is very similar except it's ending isn't as good and didn't feel like it really had an important theme, in opposite to Utena which was about adolescence in general. Actually it's still okay to watch Penguindrum first but just wanted to remind you that if you do manage to get through Penguindrum, no matter what's your thoughts about it don't count Utena out. Soren333 said: The Custom Lists and Profiles club is the best place to go if you want to customize your list layout. They have a bunch of premade layouts you can use and you can tweak them all to your liking.And may I ask, how did you get that theme on your list? (I didn't even know you could change your theme) |
