| I really liked them both, but I wanna watch one like them. |
| Princess Tutu. |
| This is a serious post. You're not allowed to delete it. |
| If you like suspense and epic battles of wits where lives are always on the line, watch Kaiji. |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| Legend of the Galactic Heroes, it's basically where Death Note and Code Geass got their ideas from, but it's a 1000 times better. |
| Gankutsuou. The Count is as magnificent a bastard as they come. You might as well check out Legend of the Galactic Heroes, too. It's 110 episodes long, but if you like it you'll really like it (and if you don't like it, it's only 5-6 episodes long ;) ). |

| gankutsuou - kaiji not really the same but you ll enjoy watchin' |
 |
| Seconding LoGH, best grand scale political war drama in anime yet. Also seconding Gankutsuou for smaller scale revenge schemes plot. You could also try some of the Gundams. If you liked Geass for it's melodrama and emo moments, SEED would be a good choice. |
| Mahjong Legend Akagi. |

| Akagi is definitely on the top of the list about mind games animes. But, I'd recommend One Outs too. It's almost similar to Akagi as it's made by the same studio. But, it's at a faster pace and is definitely better than Akagi overall. I guarantee it. One outs is about Baseball, but, the focus is more on how the other teams which may be better or have secret tricks, are gonna get mind-screwed over by the lead character. So, even if you don't understand the game(which is very easy to understand), you'll still enjoy the anime because of the high sums and the insane counter-attacks which the lead character does to overcome the odds. |
| Eden of the East, kind of. The more obvious parallels between it and CG+DN don't become clear until towards the end, but as the series is only 11 episodes the end comes pretty quickly. It's really good overall. |
| I suggest not watching Lotgh. It is truly horrid when compared to Code Geass. Terrible animation, nonsensical boring plot, vapid characters, and completely predictable battle strategies. I second Kaiji and one outs. |
| ^Kind of people who never bothers about the fundamentals of stories and only wants explosions, moe, melodrama. |
 |
| Elfen Lied. Blood + is great but its more fighting and not as much complexity but great. |
| Clannad/Clannad ~Afterstory~ is the Anime that you've been looking for. In Clannad, the main protagonist uses tactics just like those used in Code Geass and Death Note, but instead he uses tactics to get girls and to survive in his daily life. Also, all of the good Anime has someone dying on it, so you'll expect someone in here too. |
managaman said: The animation is old, and I guess some actually liked the noodlepeople style of Geass, but most of these other things are wrong.I suggest not watching Lotgh. It is truly horrid when compared to Code Geass. Terrible animation, nonsensical boring plot, vapid characters, and completely predictable battle strategies. You can call the plot boring if you like, but it is not nonsensical, it's Code Geass that suffers from ridiculous and illogical plots, and it's characters are also like paper cutouts as shallow as a children's pool compared to the deep and complex characters in LoGH. And at least LoGH has strategy and tactics. CG only has some silly dei ex machinis being repeated over and again, with ridiculously powerful supermecha beamspamming everything. It's about as tactical as a full frontal infantry charge against the Maginot Line. You are in no position to make any sort of judgment of a 110 episode series when you have obviously not seen more than a couple of episodes, honestly boy. |

HooHiraiBunny said: No one would call LoGH's characters "vapid" compared to Geass of all things, and no one would imply LoGH's story makes less sense than Geass's if they have actually watched both shows properly.How so? You're lurking her IRL to know that she has only watch a couples episodes? How can you prove this ridiculous baseless assumption? You can't really prove shit anyway. Depth and logic is not something you can twist that much to suit whatever personal fetishes you may have. Ergo, anyone who says this has not seen at least one of these series properly. It's not like you need to be a rocket scientist to draw the conclusion here, it should be obvious to anyone with a functional brain that has seen both series. |
| And this is just your personnal opinion, be more open-minded please. Also that's easy to say that someone hasn't watched a show properly because he doesn't have the same opinion as you. I can say the same thing for you with Code Geass right? Or even Grave of the Fireflies? Edit: Lol since another fanboy wants to quote me out of the context then: Baman said: it should be obvious to anyone with a functional brain that has seen both series. Someone with a functionnal brain would never bash Grave of the Fireflies. See how I can say the same thing as well if I want to play the idiotic fanboy role. I am very disappointed indeed. |

HooHiraiBunny said: No, no, no, it's not opinion my dear, it is fact.

Also that's easy to say that someone hasn't watched a show properly because he doesn't have the same opinion as you. I can say the same thing for you with Code Geass right? If you said Code Geass has characters with more depth than LoGH and it's story is more logical, you would be factually wrong. What you prefer and which you think is "better" is another thing entirely of course. |
| Lol, yes, yes, yes, it's a fact! Seriously Baman you really don't fail to amuse me right now. Everyone has the right to judge what that is profound or not, there is not an universal sense of depth. And so far you haven't prove why LoGH is deeper or more logical than Code Geass. |

HooHiraiBunny said: No more baseless than yours, just opposite...Alas86 said: Again, another baseless assumption.No. To the OP, I think that Macross Frontier would do too, it features a convoluted plot and a magnificient bastard(in Grace), though, being a Macross, it focuses more on stylised (CGI) dogfights, the love triangle and of course music. |
| It is, but who was the one the one to begin with the baseless assumption? Just see the post above mine. |

| And obviously you're also just trolling right now (or pretty much you're the only one trolling) because you can't even accept that someone say a bad thing about your beloved LoGH. This is just fanboyism as it shittiest level. But let's keep it classy this is not really the place to debate about it. |
HooHiraiBunny said: Who cares if he jumped to conclusions?

| Euh, no. Whether it's nonsensical or not is a matter of opinion. I won't even point the contradiction in the second sentence. But anyway, that's not really the place to discuss. I should have really not taken the bait coming from LoGH fanboys in this thread. |
Gunther75 said: I'm assuming D. Either way, one cannot seriously say things like that after properly watching 40 episodes.Obviously this person has: A. been watching the wrong show. B. not been paying attention at all to it. C. had this show go over their head. D. is trolling. HooHiraiBunny said: O really? I have compared the two countless times. I do not much care to repeat myself in every thread you know.And so far you haven't prove why LoGH is deeper or more logical than Code Geass. Also, there are certain more or less objective ways to measure the quality of a story and how much sense it makes, as well as character depth. Simply compare it to the norms of what is seen as good. A story needs to have events that naturally and logically flow from the one point to the other, which is what LoGH has, not erratically jump from one contrived plot device to another, which is what CG R2 does for the most part. The depth of characters can be seen easily by seeing how natural a character is, whether they play their roles seeming like organic components of the story or as mere mechanical plot devices. CG is full of shallow character writing, with characters shifting allegiances and doing ridiculous things only to further the plot, making most of them mere plot devices. And there you have it. But we're digressing like hell here, so let's take this to PMs if someone wtill wants to persist in this folly. |
Baman said: So why the fuck are you posting that on this thread? Managaman has just pointed her opinion and so far it's just as admissible as your.

| if you liked the strategic aspect of code geass and death note you'l probably like one outs. just dont let baseball theme trick you, it's alot better than it sounds |
| Ha, nothing is on my list. I didn't add any of the anime I watched because I don't feel like it. If it's not their it doesn't mean I didn't watch it. Secondly who's the idiot? You're recommending an anime to someone who likes Code Geass, you didn't like it, so leave. You have no need to post in this thread when you don't even have a completely different taste than the OP. Thirdly to call it trolling or idiocy is pathetic, don't push your tastes on me. If I say Lotgh sucked it sucked, end of story. I'm not telling you that you're a retard or you're trolling because you didn't like Code Geass. One of the worst things about Lotgh is the fans, everyone thinks their a fuckin' intellectual. |

Sensing tension in the air here. If anything, managaman is guilty of those accusations here. The post in question does not contain any opinion, but instead states that Legend of the Galactic Heroes is boring. It's easy to uncheck anime from your PTW list, you don't need a recommendation forum for that. If it worked this way, I could post in every topic that people shouldn't watch (for instance) Naruto because, compared to the requested qualities, it doesn't apply to the user's likings.* managaman said: If I say Lotgh sucked it sucked, end of story. I can't recall anyone having the privilege to say something sucked just because they said so.** managaman said: You have no need to post in this thread when you don't even have a completely different taste than the OP.

I'm disappointed.** managaman said: I saw 40 episodes, how much more do you want me to see before I pass judgment? You can't judge any series by seeing it numerous times. People can watch (for instance) One Piece twenty times, but it would take someone only 50 episodes (which in the case of this example isn't much compared to the amount of complete episodes) and an eye for flaws to figure out the whole thing doesn't only fail to make sense, it also comes out pretty repetitive. HooHiraiBunny said: But anyway, that's not really the place to discuss. I should have really not taken the bait coming from LoGH fanboys in this thread. Fallacy: Your arguments contradict with a fact.* Frostwake said: I rarely visit these forums but I think its funny too in every single thread there is a LOGH fanboy recommending it, because "it fits all genres" I could say the same about tons of other animes being recommended the anime database. Every series has it's fanboys, trying to focus the attention on a small group of fanboys is a nasty and irrelevant way of arguing. managaman said: One of the worst things about Lotgh is the fans, everyone thinks their a fuckin' intellectual. To be honest, by reading your contradicting replies, it's a given that a lot of other people don't take you serious. |
| stfu trolls i watched legend of galactic heroes and it hooked me from the first episode... the movie pwned.. first 2 episodes were good.. packed with strategy scenes.. i cant imagine how the rest 108 eps will be.. kickass show |
| Ahh Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I also once had the opinion that this show sucked and was boring (after seeing the first episode) so I dropped it, but picked it up again later (and I'm glad I did). The only way to see if you like this show is to actually watch a couple of episodes. There are alot of people who dropped the show after seeing the first few episodes, but anyone who got past that got hooked to the show (try to find an animelist with LotGH dropped between episodes 20-110). One of the reasons this show is so great is because of it's lenght, it is a fact that the longer the show is, the more you get to see the characters, the more you get attached to them. However, where most shows go wrong is that they can't keep it going smoothly and it becomes rather repetitive and boring but that is where LotGH does not belong. In fact, what this show does is: it actually becomes better and better. When watching an anime you shouldn't compare it to another show, sure Code Geass and Death Note are inspired by LotGH but that is no surprise to anyone who has fully seen all three shows. The only thing LotGH lacks is decent animation, but why should one be put off by the animation of one of the best (if not the best) anime made. Another reason why this show may seem offputting at first is because it already is in the midst of everything in episode one, because you probably have not been introduced to the characters yet (most people don't watch the prequels before watching the main show) however you will only get used (and get attached) to them with time. The plottwists are enough to actually make your jaws drop and when u finish the show u might actually get stuck in a damn Post-anime depression while thinking what an amazing show you just finished. One shouldn't listen to someone who hasn't actually fully seen the show or doesn't have enough arguments to actually explain why this show sucks. If you want to see one of the best animes ever made, just give Legend of the Galactic Heroes a try despite what people say, the only thing that matters is your own personal opinion and how you percieve the show yourself. I did really enjoy Code Geass and Code Geass R2, I also fully enjoyed Death Note, and I was absolutely amazed by Legend of the Galactic Heroes. As for our lovely trolls: Opinions and Facts should not be seen as one. Good and bad can be either Opinions, facts or both, but what if I ask you this: what makes something bad, and what makes something good. You can look at it from two ways: Humans decided to come to an agreement about what should be considered a Fact when it comes to good or bad(Thiefs are bad, vegetables are good) As for our own opinions, it differs with each person(one might think classical Music is good, while other may think it's bad) "Legend of the Galactic Heroes sucks" This is a personal opinion, not a fact, there are no arguments that support this sentence to actually proof why it sucks, therefor something like this should not even be paid attention to. Basicly what I am trying to say is: Don't be put off by someone just blurring out their opinion with nothing to support it, because your own opinion might be different. Example: When someone says: "This show sucks because there is no comedy in it", you can relate to it and say to yourself: "Do I like shows without comedy"?, if you don't then this show might not be what you are looking for. If you do, then that will just be another reason as to why you should watch it. Just watch the show and see for yourself if you like it or not, if you like epic spacebattles, a corrupt government, great character development and depth (own opinion), realism, Sci-Fi, Action, tactics, strategies, drama, then you should absolutely watch it. if you only like: comedy, romance, high-school, fantasy, shounen, supernatural ect, then this might not be your cup of tea. "Opinions and personal preference is what makes it able for us to choose what we like or not, it should not be influenced by a statement like: "Legend of the Galactic Heroes sucks". |
