RarityRoyale said: Cromartie Highschool is on your list. Watch that some time. It's hilarious. Especially the English dubbed versionI would really appreciate some recommendations, picking shows at random has only sort-of been working out for me =) Also, since you liked Madoka (Which was written by the same guy) and have Fate/Stay Night on your PTW list, I recommend Fate/Zero _Rika said: Since you've got Crispin Freeman in your favourites and haven't seen Haruhi, I recommend Haruhi because it's Crispin Freeman's best roleNeed recommendations. |

| Thanks everyone for the suggestions! About Bakemonogatari, misogyny is a huge turn off but I guess I can't really say anything until I've seen it. I'll still give it a shot, just because it looks like something different. @_Rika You seem to be fond of Josei, so I suggest Kuragehime. It's a wonderfully fun series that deserves more love. I also second SaberRitsu's suggestion of Haruhi Suzumiya. |
| > The strongest personality and star of the show is a female > Misogyny Does not compute. |
| @RarityRoyale I also second Mawaru Penguindrum. Just don't watch it dubbed. Seriously, it's horrible. Completely ruins the entire atmosphere of the show. I want something that's both thought provoking and emotional without being pretentious or manipulative |

Arararraragi-kun said: > The strongest personality and star of the show is a female > Misogyny Does not compute. By that logic, every single ecchi-harem ever would be considered feminist. I can't judge the sexism-level in Bakemonogatari until I've watched it, but I am assuming that you are a guy and will trust a female's opinion on it until I do. |
| That wasn't directed at you and what are these ecchi-harems that have females with strong personalities and little to no fanservice with them in it ? Either way watch what you wanna watch and form your opinion of it. SaberRitsu said: I want something that's both thought provoking and emotional without being pretentious or manipulative Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin ( I personally felt the second half was weak but the first part is worth it ) Jin Roh Saikano ( I heard that the manga is better ) Mushishi Eve no Jikan ( Watch the movie since it has extra scenes ) The other stuff I wanted to recommend are already on your watching list. |
| @SaberRitsu Hmmm, most stuff I would suggest for that criteria is already on your list. I would say to finish Air, I guess? I wasn't a huge fan but you've liked everything else made by Key. It is a little pretentious, I guess, but there are some genuinely touching scenes. I would also suggest Cardcaptor Sakura, but going by the rest of your list I'm not sure it's the show for you. Probably way to girly and childish for a teenage guy lol. So I'm going to go with xxxHolic. It's very elegant and stylish, mostly episodic. Many episodes have rather thought-provoking endings, and there's a few emotional scenes. |
_Rika said: Need recommendations. Your taste seem to be kinda, all over the place, so its kind of hard for me to say, but I'd give some of these a look, starting with Bebop. Cowboy Bebop Ergo Proxy Kaiba Memories Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Serial Experiments Lain |

Clannad is slow out of the gate, just little comedy here and there, but it really picks up in After Story as anyone who has seen it can attest. Other than that, I'd say Mawaru Penguindrum. If you liked Utena you'll love Penguindrum. |

| Recommend me some anime. I want something to marathon next weekend. Thus it should be 26 episodes max. I don't really care what type of show it is but it has to glue me to the screen. It can be from my ptw or whatever... Last thing I really marathoned was Shinsekai Yori fyi. I plan to finish Seikai no Senki II+III alongside anyway so more sci-fi might be bad. |

The 2nd season is a little less on the psychological aspect and more on the games albeit a little bit weaker but it's still good all round.

| Well that escaleted quickly...thanks anyway. |
|
| Hey guys, I've seen all of your lists, but I'd like o=to see what you think of mine. That is, if you don't mind. |
 |
| @Zylixae Azumanga Daioh might be a good one to marathon. If not that, maybe Kanon or Kuragehime would work. @VentusCross You should watch some of the more accessible series on the enlightenment list like Cowboy Bebop, Baccano, Detroit Metal City and Gunslinger Girl. |
| >sees Clannad in same tier as DBZ ...... Too much action! Expandyour horizons more |

I've already watched Cowboy Bebop (haven't updated my list), and I plan to watch Baccano, DMC and Gunslinger soon. Valkyrion said: >sees Clannad in same tier as DBZ ...... Too much action! Expandyour horizons more I actually see DBZ in a higher tier than Clannad (the original series), After Story to me though, while good, is stupidly overrated. I'm watching less action oriented anime recently like Jinrui and later Kanon (2006) so there's that. |
|
| Ventus, I see it in your PTW list so I'm just going to give it to you straight. FUCKING WATCH HEARTCATCH PRECURE! |
|
SaberRitsu said: Ventus, I see it in your PTW list so I'm just going to give it to you straight. FUCKING WATCH HEARTCATCH PRECURE! I mean, we can't truly call ourselves men until we've seen it, right? |
Burningblade04 said: This.VentusCross said: Hey guys, I've seen all of your lists, but I'd like o=to see what you think of mine. That is, if you don't mind. I don't understand why you already put 3/5 anime in your favorites that you haven't finished yet. For me I have to watch the whole thing before I can get a full opinion. But for recommendations, I'd say prioritise watching: Death Billiards Eva 2.0 Fate/Zero if only for Rider and Waver FMA:B Hajime no Ippo Katanagatari Remove: Haganai NEXT Btooom! Eva 3.0 Kamisama Hajimemashita Seikon no Qwaser Tamako Market Yama no Susume The ones I've seen that are not mentioned are okay watches but not something I would urge to watch asap. |
 |
| Most of the stuff I have on my watch list are things I'm watching again (The Big O for example), so there's that. Heartcatch Precure is top priority. |
|
| How's mine? I probably have shit taste, I know. |

KamiKazen said: Amberleh said: KamiKazen said: How's mine? I probably have shit taste, I know. This thread is not about your taste. It's about recommendations. That too. Watch Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki, Heartcatch Precure, and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. |
 |
| @KamiKazen From your ptw, I very much recommend Baccano!, Katanagatari, Mononoke and Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei. Other than that, Revolutionary Girl Utena is a nice start, since I see you loved Mawaru Penguindrum (and Utena is from the same director, which means it's got plenty of themes, presentation and style in common). You'd probably like Clannad as well. |

| Hey everyone! Sorry to barge in like this, but can I get some anime recommendations too? |

Haakonwale said: cielo_blue said: Watch FMA:BHey everyone! Sorry to barge in like this, but can I get some anime recommendations too? Remove: Elfen Lied I don't see why Elfen Lied gets as much hate as it does... Yes, the script is dreadfully written and all that, but the music is absolutely gorgeous, and they had a very capable art director for that show. It's certainly not that great, but it's not like it's the worse thing ever. Elfen Lied is a decent watch. *sigh* True, the last time I watched it I was like, 15 or something, but still... Maybe I should rewatch it at some point. |
| I won't comment on Elfen Lied's quality (I'm with the boring majority on this one), just wanted to say that I found its musical score rather forgettable (save for, ofc, the amazing opening). @cielo_blue Looking at your list, I think you might like Serial Experiments Lain, Kino's Journey, Texhnolyze, maybe even Natsume Yuujinchou. |

| I read the manga and I liked it, I think it deserve a score of 7 ( 8 on MAL ). From what I read before in thread about anime vs manga most prefer the manga. The manga has 106 chapters, the anime has 13 episodes, so I think that the anime was rushed ( I only saw 1st ep ) |
| The premise of Elfenlied is that there are little girls with superpoweres who kill people because they want human kind to evolve. If you like this premise you can just go ahead and watch the anime. Art, animation, music an direction aren't the problems of Elfenlied anime. |
 |
| Can I also get some manga recommendations? :D oh, and no need to make a recommendation based on my manga list as i haven't managed them yet. Just recommend me any mangas that immediately pop up in your mind when someone ask you. I am fine with any genre, and whether it's fun short manga or a hundred chaptes one. My reading stocks is finished and got no clue for new one |

Truth_Seeker said: The manga has some of the worst art I have seen.Has anyone in the club read the manga version of Elfen Lied? I've always liked the premise of the show, but I decided to avoid the anime adaptation based on all the negative criticism. Is the manga worth reading or is it just like the anime in terms of quality? |

Is the manga worth reading or is it just like the anime in terms of quality? Better than anime because of its length and more time for some characters like batou but panels and drawing is just too damn lazy.Anime also skips 1 character(which doesn't matter in story anyway) and manga has better story and ending.5/10 MATERIAL. |
