Apr 2015

I have been watching anime for a long time. And I am constantly in search of new anime to watch after I gobble up the good ones at hand. :) I have seen most of all the mainstream ones that are good.. There might have been a few years back that i missed, but anyways to help with this question, I will include a list of all the known series that I have seen fully so you can check before u post your suggestion. They will be grouped in first letter alphabet order and some names are English and some are Japanese though (sorry). I like action, adventure with a side of love, but if its really good, like "Toradora" or "Your lie in April", then it doesn't matter the theme :)

P.S. Sorry for the wall of text! hope some people actually read through though :)

If you liked Slayers and DBZ, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Yu Yu Hakusho.

http://myanimelist.net/anime/392/Yu_Yu_Hakusho

Also, there's no Jojo on your list.

You should definitely start watching Jojo.

With a lot of the anime you do have, I'm utterly shocked you don't haven't seen Elemental Gelade, you should watch it now.

Hanasakeru Seishounen(compliments of the year where awesome anime go to hide), this is one of the best anime released that year, and there's a link to a review in my sig, if you want. More people so need to check this out.

The Legend of Condor Hero(and I give you the most unknown anime in anime history, easily one of the best romance anime ever made. I wrote a review for this as well)

Inuyasha+Inuyasha the Final Act(easily one of the best romance anime ever made, has the only official perfect/flawless ending to anything ever made in general as well, so definitely check this out too)

You so need toy watch those.

thanks, I did start watching JoJo, it started ok, I was a little taken back by it though, was almost somewhat too "in your face" kinda.. I seen yu-yu on tv a long time ago, but never actually watched the anime fully, might think about it.

Akatsuki no Yona would have made me love you had i not already seen it :O. I have it on my list in English (Yona of the Dawn) :) I might try Katanagari, seems like people like it. I just need to get used to the animation.

Yu Yu Hackusho, as far as Tourny fighters go, is awesome.

PS. I was mainly focusing on anime with romance aspects(especially strong romance aspects), so I didn't post Yu Yu Hakusho, but for anime without such or with weaker romance aspects, you should check these out too

Well i liked it a lot, all of 3 seasons. The first one is a set up, kinda. Second is a bit more slice of life and the third season is almost a 24 episodes long battle.

Better than Toradora and Your Lie in April:
Honey and Clover - You will laugh. You will cry. It will going to change ur life.
Nodame Cantabile - Im still planning 2 watch this but according 2 the reviews and glimpses of the series, I can say this is a btter series (since it focuses on collegians not dorky Highschool students)
Kids on the Slope - Still a High School drama but better and with jazz

+1 Shakugan no Shana
At least give it 6 or 7 episodes. Also, I enjoyed Shana's back story and relationship with Alastor and Wilhelmina Carmel which they show in episodes 14/15. Wilhelmina is a great allied character who settles in with the main cast late in the first season. But honestly, the great characters both allied and enemy just keep coming through all 3 seasons.

Golden Time
Since you liked Toradora this is by the same writer. Oh, and Toradora is better than Honey Caffeine & Clover ;) But hey, don't let me stop you from trying H&C; just fair warning that I personally found it pretty boring but maybe you won't.

Thanks. looked at Golden Time, looks decent. do you recommend it though? I will have high hopes for it since you seem to understand the essence that is Toradora :D and i will probably give Shakugan no Shana another go for a bit longer too. maybe Elemental Gelade too.. but probably not Brigadoon, animation doesnt suite me.

I am going to also recommend Oda Nobuna no Yabu (The Ambition of Oda Nobuna). If you live in Canada or the US, then I highly recommend the English Dub of this anime, because it really really did improve my enjoyment of it. The script was transliterated into colloquial North American English and man, I got to honestly say its a blast! The dub came out in December just before Christmas. Enjoy!

Wait, they finally got around to dubbing that? I've been waiting/hoping that gets dubbed for quite awhile now(wasn't a anime I felt like reading dialog for), looks like It's about time for me to watch it then(after my rewatch of Pandora Hearts anyway).

I would recommend:
D. Gray Man - mostly out of personal opinion because it's one of my first and favorite anime. Good story if you're willing to stick with it, great characters, and good action.
Junketsu No Maria - If you like controversial themes on religion and humanity, with a little romance on the side, this is a good one to watch.
Kuroshitsuji aka Black Butler - This series is just amazing, highly recommend. I didn't watch Season 2 though, my friend told me that it's anime original and bad compared to the manga. The Book of Circus(Season 3) is in my top 5 anime at the moment I think.

My Top 5 Anime: (As of March 2020)
1. Fate/Zero
2. Gintama
3. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
4. Shinsekai Yori
5. Hunter x Hunter (2011)

I had started Kuroshitsuji in the past. watched about 7 episodes i think. I might give it another go, but i was just kinda lost i guess at first. Oda Nobuna no Yabu seems ok. and Junketsu No Maria looks interesting, ill add that to my list of possibilities :) thanks everyone.

If you don't mind harem or fanservice, then try high school dxd.
The plot isn't great but the characters and comedy more than makes up for it.

I can be picky about my anime, I know i have a few questionable ones on my list. but stuff that doesnt have a good story and or is just for comedy im not into so much. I love comedy when its in the right place. but shows like highschool dxd might not be my style. I watched trinity seven, and new testament devil sister, stuff like that i dont really care for. and SeijiSensei I am currently watching Seirei no Moribito, thank you. I am on episode 5 and i do like it. :)
