Saikano.

I just couldn't get into it. The 2 main characters annoyed me a little bit, and I didn't like what they did and how they did things.

And I didn't even like the plot. It seemed weird to me and too far out there.

Idk; it wasn't for me...

Arisa - one stupid hentai. It has ugly art and Arisa is annoying.

I'd really recommend Mars of Destruction though. If I were you I wouldn't let it go stale in my PTW but instead I would watch it right away. If you could, you should get the HD copy for that anime. It's the epitome of the anime industry I tell you.

Another person without a PTW, it's like you want to tell people what to do but can't take it yourselves.


SO, Forest guy, don't watch Arakawa, or anything with Code Geass in the name, obviously.
You should also pass on KHR! and Black Rock Shooter.

YOU SHOULD, however, right now in fact, don't do nothing else until you've done this, go watch all of that Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood stuff, as well as Katanagatari, and of course, the most important one there, Mars of Destruction...and Steins;Gate. Go watch now. Go.

I would never tell anyone NOT to watch anything but I would tell them what I didn't enjoy and why.

I have been disappointed in Blood-C. Other than the main character's name, it has little to nothing to do with Blood: The Last Vampire or Blood+. It has turned out to be basically a monster of the week with more than half of each episode devoted to people being eaten and boring bloody battles. There is a mystery behind all the goings on but far too little attention is given to it. If you want supernatural splatter and gore, Shiki is far better.

Kekkaishi was just another Naruto/Bleach shounen thing. Actually, it had more in common with Bleach . . . . but then I dropped Bleach too . . .

Queens BladeBattling Boobs. Apply either connotation and you would be correct.. Not my thing.

5 Centimeters per Second - It's actually good but I would go with the manga. If you don't read manga then never mind this and watch it..

Mahou Sensei Negima! - It doesn't have a plot. The manga doesn't have and the anime adaption is known as a joke. Read Ichigo 100% and I''s if you wanna good harem.

Aria - Again go with the manga if you can, otherwise watch the anime. Try Eve no Jikan if you wanna actually good slice of life anime.

You should give another try to Princess Tutu.

Don't bother with Lucky ☆ Star or AnoHana.

Definitley watch Haibane Renmei, Baccano! and Clannad.

Oh and go for the manga with Ao no Exorcist.

And suggesting 5cmps manga instead of anime? watch the anime first and then read the manga. I mean there was hardly any difference and of course the manga obviously lacked dat ost.

Those 3 were deleted.. Reason why I prefer 5cm/s manga; http://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=40555

No for these; Ga-Rei: Zero, Fate/stay night, Saikano.

Should read GTO manga instead watching the anime. Anime has open ending, story was never fully finished.

Watch these first in this order; Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei, Katanagatari, Rainbow Nisha.

Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei is only full 10 on my list.

I commented this post, and thought weird reading your post (thinking "wait, those are not in my Plan to Watch list?!"), and realized that you were probably commenting to the one before me. That's why I did that action. I'm really sorry if I offended you.

I think I can see why people skipped you. Pretty much everything in your list is an adaptation or addition to an existing series you've presumably seen and, with it being in your PtW, presumably enjoyed. Everything that isn't hasn't aired yet, or I don't even recognize.

Although I have got one thing to say. I don't see any reason to watch Blood-C (Movie). The series was atrocious and I somehow doubt that a movie adaptation will make it any better.

I do not recommend 'C' AT ALL! I just finished watching and i regret it so much. I thought it would be good, the characters kinda interested me, but the story sucks, about economy and so, it was boring. At least for me.
Denpa Onna: Don't recommend it either, i started watching because the characters's design was nice. But the anime is about a cute girl doing stupid things that people find it cute.

I recommend: Madoka Magica and Kobato, both are awesome.

Only one I can mention is Air here...

It's by far the worst Key anime, the plot dwindles and becomes nonsensical half way through.

For Key anime though, I can certainly recommend Kanon. It's the best one in my opinion at least.

Also the Ef series is brilliant too.

@ SuperKyou
Fruits Basket--The anime ends about halfway through the actual story so I'll just give you the generic "read the manga" mantra. That, or avoid this if you've already read it.

Occult Academy--Below-average stuff. The problem with this show is that it introduces a story early on, dicks around for 80% of the series, then suddenly remembers it had a conflict it needed to resolve. It basically couldn't decided whether it wanted to be an action-adventure magic series or a slice-of-life. Identity crisis.

Tsukihime--Why would you do that.

Otherwise, no particular problems. I see you've got Umi Monogatari though, and I <3 Urin.

07-Ghost. 25 episodes, of which around 2 are about the main plot and the others add absolutely nothing to the story, lack any real interesting developments or have any reason to exist.

There's very little character development over the span of the series too, and one certain character ends up being extremely annoying by around the midway point and stays that way.

Other than Gilgamesh...Blue Sub No. 6. I mean, it's pretty and the music is nice, dub is pretty good too, but the story, despite trying something somewhat new, isn't really all that great. It's a bit messy and hard to follow as well, it's an OVA I think you can skip honestly.

Just to warn you, people have Kare Kano so incredibly built up and it does not, definitely does not, live up to the expectations it has in place for it now. It is a decent series, but not the godly anime people seem to think it is.
Other then that, pretty good series there.

@Kipcha, actually got Kare Kano in a trade. I actually haven't heard much about it except for the nonexistent ending, so my expectations aren't stupid high, thankfully.

Anyway from your list, you actually have a lot of really good stuff to watch, so picking one I don't think is worthy is a bit tough! I'll go with Basquash though for committing the cardinal sin of changing the freakin' director like halfway through the series. It then goes down down down hill...it only makes the actually pretty good first half all the more depressing, it could've gone somewhere good too, real shame. And the first director was great too! I really don't know why they replaced him when he was making the show so damn awesome!

Just wanted to clear something up about the "focus too much on Akari" thing. You'll be happy to know that the other two seasons focus on the other characters, particularly Aika and Alice, a lot more. In fact, some of the best episodes in The Natural and Origination focus on them two.

Bakemonogatari-I watched 5 eps, talk about the slowest pacing I've ever seen in my life! I really think people should avoid this series, it spent the entire 5 episodes doing nothing, except for maybe a grand total of 2 minutes where it did something.

@insane3soldiern
Hmm, tempting to say Eiken, but you must know you're not in for something good anyway, so I'll go with Shin Angyo Onshi. I've read about half of the manga, and there's no way it got shoved into a single movie while still being anywhere near as awesome as the manga/manhwa. If anything, you should plan to read the manga and just leave the movie alone.

@ HostClub:

Ai Yori Aoshi - The show is pretty good for the first few episodes, but quickly becomes repetitive and inane. One of the most annoying aspects that I remember about the show is that it cannot seem to decide whether it wants to be a harem comedy or a romantic drama focusing solely on the main couple, as it abruptly switches in tone between these two. It's essentially Clannad's first season if it were done very poorly and sloppily.

I always preface these things by saying that I would never tell anyone NOT to watch something. I will, knowing how widely anime preferences diverge, tell you what titles I didn't care for.

*Dennou Coil - I seem to have this one perpetually on hold because everyone says it's so good but it has failed to engage me.

*Ga-Rei: Zero - I dropped this one twice. For me it didn't take off until the 6th or 7th ep at which point it got very interesting.

*Magic Knight Reyearth - I know I dropped it but was so unimpressed, I can't eve remember why.

*Shiki - I found Shiki interesting enough to finish it when it was airing but over all, nothing special . . . except for the autopsy scene. That was chilling.

Otherwise, you've got some really good stuff there.

@ zKskita

Hanasaku Iroha: At the start it tries to seem slightly realistic look at how life can be fairly hard (dead beat mom, forced to work at a job she hates, etc). Looks like it COULD be a good look at life being hard but still worth living. But then a guy tries to commit suicide by jumping into the ocean off a cliff... but is saved by a big breasted girl half his size (which is then followed by some bullshit motivational speech by the MC).

Overall, a huge letdown of a show, that is basically just a generic melo-drama thats been done before and a lot better too. Don't bother I say.
