@Jizzy You should probably give Casshern Sins a try, the series' main plot is essentialy that trope.

I'm looking for two kinds of mecha shows. One to watch with friends, the other for myself. So far I've only seen all the gainax shows: gunbuster, eva, tengen toppa etc and also Code Geass (didn't like it) and Patlabor. So obviously I'd be looking for something else with those.

With friends:
It needs to be entertaining and it needs to capture you rather early on. It might be something more along the lines of tengen topp, so basically over-the-top action, comedy and nice animation. Or alternatively it has to capture you with intrigue. As a non-mecha example I'd give Kaiji which I enjoyed watching in a group. It's really intense and it was fun to predict and consult what move the MC will make next.

For myself:
I'd like to find something a bit surreal or mind screwy. I just really like anime like utena, eva or lain where the viewer doesn't exactly know what's going on or what's the meaning of certain aspects of the show and has to think a bit longer about what happened. End of Evangelion is my favorite film, so it would be nice if the show could have not only a surreal story but also some surreal visuals. Alternatively just something with a unique/surreal art style, like the works of Yuasa or in shows like Mononoke or Kuuchuu Buranko. Since it's mecha it could be something with weird robot designs.

A bit detailed I know, but i hope this helps to find something adequate.

Thanks a lot for the list. Do you think you would be able to trim it down a bit? Just choose among each group half of the ones you consider the best. Or let's say, if a couple of these you chose because of the comedy aspect, than just take one or two of the ones with the best comedy, same if it comes to action, animation.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - the 2012-2015 version. Epic action, very comedy. No mecha though, but it's the closest you'll get to a TTGL feeling really, what with everything being insanely overpowered and the work being very self-aware. Most of the characters / villains etc are named after rock and metal groups/musicians of the 70's - 80's.

For pure eye candy and an killer Yoko Kanno soundtrack, Macross Frontier (2008). The original Macross has a more serious overall plot, but it also has very dated animation and extremely poor plot pacing. I think original Macross for solo viewing and Macross Frontier for group viewing.

Cowboy Beebop, Trigun and Black Lagoon might be good choices for action/comedy ones that are easy for a group to get into.

If you don't mind trying a sports one, try Hajime no Ippo and/or Kuroko's Basketball. Both of these have intense matches that span multiple episodes, tense cliffhangers keep you watching episode to episode, and solid characters/comedy. Kuroko's basketball is less dated and not as long in episodes so might be a better group thing. Ippo has ~125 episodes and is a bit slower to kick off to the action parts, though once it hits it's addictive viewing.

You make a hard request, as they all excel at different things. I kind of kept thematic variety in mind when I was making the recommendations.

You may be safe in scratching UFO Robo Grendizer off the list.

A dead end? You're watching nothing atm but have over a hundred shows on your plan to watch list. Your dead end has over hundred paths you could take. Now, is there a specific kind of show which you're pining for yet can't find? That'd be a more concrete dead end.

I'll recommend from your ptw list:
-Baccano!
-Katanagatari
-Michiko to Hatchin
-Patlabor movies (only the first and the second)
-All of Satoshi Kon
-Saraiya Goyou

But really, a lot of the shows on your PTW list are top recommendations. If you really feel like you've managed to trap yourself in the medium, try reading some manga. It's a fantastic change of pace.

By deadend, I mean I kind of feel lost in my plan to watch list. While I have many plenty of roads to go, I'm not sure which one to travel down. Indecision I guess you could call it. These recommendations look great though thank you c: I think I'm going to give Paprika a go.

Gundam build fighters (original) - Shit is hilarious.

On your own:

Old anime need love too, the art in this is amazing for the time, the guy behind it wasn't the greatest story teller but the backdrop for the world could have gone places with a better writer. I'd love to see this series get a fully fleshed out universe/remade again "for reals" at some point. When they tried to remake it (once) they failed hard. It's too bad the original has seeds of greatness within.

Normally I would say cover things like Bebop, Princess Mononoke, Tatami Galaxy, Lain/Haibane Renmei, and so forth, but your taste is very interesting and I'm actually unsure whether you'd like them or not.

Currently watching NGE, I'm under the impression that there isn't much else like it. Same goes for Kon's works. Haven't watched Rose of Versailles so can't comment.

big list you got there

Surprised you haven't watched Bebop/Champloo.

Satoshi Kon has some highly regarded shows/movies - Mousou Dairinin, Paprika, etc.

Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei is a modern classic imo, Ping-Pong and Kaiba are supposedly great aswell (share the same director as Yojouhan) - not easy watches though.

Haibane Renmei/Serial Experiments Lain are both held in quite high regard.

Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita is a great little series that I rarely see mentioned - easily the most witty/satirical show I've ever watched and probably the funniest. Dark/ironic interior hidden behind a veneer of colour + typical anime 'optimism'.

To be honest, I have that tendency to avoid famous stuff like Bepop recently. I don't know why.

Anyway, thanks for the recommendations! I'll try them out!

I've been reading the other comments, and this is pretty interesting. I'm glad to see that there are other people "new to the world of anime" like myself. Still, to be frank, I've developed quite a list in a short time. If anyone's willing to take the challenge to comment and give recommendations, I'd be much obliged.

NOTE: Some things may literally seem all over the place. Also, no matter how many times the harem genre pops up, I'd really like to avoid it in the future. Thanks for your time, and I'd glad for the opportunity to participate.

Since you liked Skip Beat, I'd suggest Nana.

You have some similar shows highly rated, so maybe try Noragami too.

And everyone should watch Hajime no Ippo

You have several shoujo type shows that you liked, so how about Kimi ni Todoke and Toradora? They're both pretty solid series.

I hope you're not mixing up the modern "Detective Conan" cartoon with "Future Boy Conan", which is the classic 1978 science fiction show. They're unrelated. It seems likely you've confused the two shows since you haven't actually seen very much pre-2000's anime.


first of all, I am sorry for the late reply, I just logged in after a long time of busyness, I also just had the chance to watch some of my planned to watch list :P.

Seeing White Album 2 is on your PTW list, you should give it a shot. You don't seem to be like the romance type so my projected rating that you will give this show may range from 6-8? Personally, WA2 is a great romance anime.

You should also try Fate/Zero (though it's popular, it has a great story, but don't go for Fate/Stay Night, you probably won't like that), and Kokoro Connect .

You should definitely watch those movies if you haven't, but give these anime a try too: Casshern Sins, Master Keaton/OVA, Hanada Shounen-shi, The Sky Crawlers, Only Yesterday, Tekkon Kinkreet, Junkers Come Here, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, Mai Mai Miracle, Gankutsuou, Boogiepop Phantom, Aoi Bungaku, Chihayafuru etc.

You haven't specified anything in particular, so I just went with the titles Shared anime that don't show up on your list.

I won't be touching Chihayafuru since I've read the entire manga not too long ago (and therefore want to have a while before I go over the same material again), but the rest does sound like an option indeed. Going to try most of these, I think. Thanks.

Buying paintings by Renoir and Cezanne makes you elite. But, yeah, I get your drift, JohnnyBme.

Honestly, watch Ashita no Joe and something from the World Masterpiece Theater. I've done neither and that's why I'm a pleb. Not even buying paintings by Pollock or Klimt can cure me of my plebiness.
