title says it all!! LOL :V got you!

don't feel like reading the paragraph skip to the short summary at the end!!!!

I'm looking for something above average that has some form of drama or romance or thrill(keeping in mind that I want these IN the anime not an anime from these genres specifically but they can be from thos genres). something like of Steins;gate, Shinsekai Yori, Gurren laggan, code geass, Clannad(prepares shield against haters), SAO, Kaichou e.t.c. what I mean is some are epic in one way or another either something happens during the plot or the characters themselves are awesome even if the anime is subpar. most of my examples of something epic happening is usually someone dying but if you've seen Shinsekai yori
was horrifyingly epic!! I couldn't begin to describe my emotions at that point and that is exactly what I am looking for or something similar. It doesn't have to be compelling in that sort of direction either I mean towards the end of SAO or gurren laggan or even guilty crown those last fights and in some cases the whole way through the anime whether they were fighting the enemy their friends or even themselves "dem feels" kept coming and I inscribed them into my soul xD I suppose a better way of describing it is I mostly remember animes by how they made me feel and I want something "memorable" in that respect. Just to avoid misunderstanding I'm not looking for a horror(unless its good) because at this stage my brain has become so dulled to violence,gore and monsters that watching a horror anime is a little like watching a mindless harem :L which I also don't want unless its epic xD

SHORT VERSION:
Animes Like: Steins;gate Shinsekai Yori, Gurren laggan, SAO, Clannad
Containing something epic: be it amazing characters,romance plot or an event(s)
Not Containing: "physical" horror(Refer to last 3 sentences), Harem(unless epic)
Must be: a TV or Anime series and must be completely aired and preferably after 2005/06 but I will make exceptions. AND COMPLETED

CHECK MY LIST BEFORE POSTING PLEASE!!


P.S. Slice of life though they may not seem "epic" usually have amazing characters and also even though appearance can be deceiving I tend to say no to anime I don't like so give me a brief sentence or a few words as to why its good or why you think I would like it or why you liked it, thanks!!

I looked on your list and I didn't see it so sorry if you have seen it.
It has a good amount of thrill, and there's romance too. Also, I remember one particular scene really shocked me but I won't spoil it for you.
I think you will like it because I like the same kind of anime's you do and I really enjoyed this, so I would give it a try. Although, it's a little bit of a harem I guess. Two boys love her- if you think thats too much like a harem then you might not like it. Also it aired 1995-1996 I believe, so.

Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo is similar to Steins Gate
Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku is similar to Shinsekai Yori
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu an Kakumeiki Valvrave are similar to Code Geass
Wolf Children an Tsumiki no Ie are similar to Clannad AS

if by epic you meant awesome action then I recommend

absolutly agree with the things on your epice, well the once i watched :P
well except 1 thing but that is everyones taste :P (i prefer ef over clannad :D)


monster (rly many episodes, and its rly high already in my opinion even i am at 50% of it. its rly awesome)
baccano (rly awesome bloody and very nice characters)
fate zero (casue it has the best fights ever)
steins gate movie (if you liked the show i mean you rated it with 9, you will like the movie)
flcl (because epic means also unique, it has just 6 eps, i am still not sure what it was about, but i enjoyed it xD)
bokurano (suprised me a lot, didnt think this will be that good, rly nice plot, but its still just an 8 i think on my list, but because the fights sucked xD)
monogatari 2nd season (this season is soo epic, srsly its like 10 times better than bokumonogatari)

and +1 wolf children
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

a tale of memories or a tale melodies?
they're both pretty good but it loses out to clannad IMO because it tells two stories at the same time still really good though ^_^

Fate zero is another one I keep putting off xD mostly because the start was so slow I gave up really early :L

I'm halfway through Bokurano and honestly the whole fighting an enemy from another dimension in a giant robot genre has seen better days although we all know who shinji is -.-

I can't remember if it was monogatari or bakamonogatari I watched but one of them was annoying xD

I'll take all the others on board seeing as you were the one who opened my eyes to the amazing Shinsekai Yori ^_^

1st its depands on taste, i prefer ef much over clanand :P but i also like clannad
actually 5 animes made me nearly cry (ef, clannad as, shinsekai yori, steins gate and madoka.

well fate zero has jsut 2 eps as intro, well first is 50 mins long xD but still
but the fights are so awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZbQYLTXw90 1 of 3 amvs that shows how awesome fate zero will be later :P

yeah well i liked at bokurano the psychological thing, what do they do before dying, why do they fight and so on.

i think you mean nisemonogatari, it is far below bakemonogatari and monogatari 2nd season :P

i rly did :D i am glad, smn listend to me and watched this masterpiece :P well watch steins gate movie trust me.
and shisnekai will be probably my eternal #1 :P

What? you only nearly-cried after Shinsekai yori o.O but but why? I was in shambles after finishing it :L

I guess I could give fate zero another go starting from episode 3 or 4.

I watched the steins;gate movie and I'm delighted I did its like I got to watch another few episodes ^^

kara no kyoukai - mystery/supernatural/romance. starts out leaving you wondering wtf is going on, when it all starts coming together its awesome. its a series of 7 movies that tell a single story, art and animation by ufotable (fate/zero) is excellent. gets pretty violent but the violence is inherent to the characters and isnt just there for no reason. def. worth checking out, and if you stick with it i dont think you will be disappointed.

(+1) Baccano! -- http://myanimelist.net/anime/2251/Baccano! -- Has a unique, unorthodox, non-linear plot-line. Two of the main characters, an eccentric pair of robbers, not only tie the entirety of the character's cast together through several degrees of separation but add just the right amount of humor to an otherwise bloody battle between camorrista and those not human.

Mawaru Penguindrum -- http://myanimelist.net/anime/10721/Mawaru_Penguindrum -- Another anime with a unique execution of the plot. You'll never get tired of hearing the Survival Tactic of the Penguin Tribe. It's similar to Steins;Gate in that the MC's are fighting to change fate for the sake of someone they hold dear

The End of Evangelion -- http://myanimelist.net/anime/32/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion:_The_End_of_Evangelion -- After I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion, I was somewhat dissatisfied with the ending because of how confusing and ambiguous I thought it was. Someone suggested that I watch the movies to see the true end to Evangelion, and I don't regret it. I recommend this because it looks like you've seen NGE, but haven't seen this movie. Not my favorite movie ever, but I definitely think it was epic for the Eva series.
