| Im having troubles deciding what i want to watch next. Im so tired of watching a bunch of animes that end up sucking or just being predictable. Also, I much prefer DUBBED. LIKES: Action, dubs, a bit of romance, a few funny parts wouldnt hurt, good animation (2005 and up preferably), character development, psychological aspects are a plus, & a dark vibe would be nice. DISLIKES: Mechs, ecchi, childish animes (naruto, one piece, etc), magic (a bit of seemingly magical powers doesnt hurt. No DBZs though. DTB did it right.) The only 3 good animes ive found since joining this website have been Phantom, Durarara, & Steins;Gate. The better the action the better the anime. Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, Darker Than Black, etc. They all had amazing action & left me at the edge of my seat. So the more of my likes involved in whatever suggestion the better. |

| Speed Grapher, which is on your PTW list, is AWESOME. I prefer subbed versions, but I watched Speed Grapher first on Netflix, which only really offers dubbed versions, and I thought it was really great. The description the myanimelist site gives you is kind of lame. It's misconstrued, but trust me... You will like it if you are looking for dark anime with action. |

Wait... So, did you get to see the police chick yet? Well, let us know what you don't like about it, so we can give better recommendations. XD There is definitely a bit of romance, a lot of action, it has good animation quality, great character development, dark vibes, and DEFINITELY psychological aspects. It's not childish, no mech... OK, so it's Ecchi(But why does that particularly bother you? Is it THAT bad??), and there is no "magic". I would say what they have are superpowers. |

Ecchi annoys me because it makes it seem like the story isnt attention-grabbing enough on its own. I can put up with it in small doses I guess. Anywho, the story just bored me. I didnt care to know what happened next or anything. Ill probably give it a few more episodes but yeah. |

| Psycho pass but no dubs though... yet. It's officially subbed by Funimation, so who knows? It has a likely chance. I'd say Madoka Magica, but it has magic. |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |

Cowboy Bebop, Darker Than Black, Trigun, Samurai Champloo, Durarara, Steins;Gate, Deadman Wonderland, anything by Miyazaki, & pretty much anything i rated 7 or higher. Preferable not the 7s though because those were just barely interesting enough to convince me to watch them without completely regretting it. |

| yeah I think you'd like psycho-pass, though I'm not that fond of the latter episodes now, the beginning till middle is awesome.. maybe also Zetsuen no Tempest |

I saw your list and I read the description in your first post. What I'm trying to ask is what exactly made those stories interesting? Otherwise I could just do this... http://myanimelist.net/anime/1/Cowboy_Bebop/userrecs - A comprehensive list of user recommendations that relate to Cowboy Bebop. http://myanimelist.net/anime/2025/Darker_than_Black:_Kuro_no_Keiyakusha/userrecs - A comprehensive list of user recommendations that relate to Darker than Black. http://myanimelist.net/anime/6880/Deadman_Wonderland/userrecs - A comprehensive list of user recommendations that related to Deadman Wonderland.

Fate/Zero has a few action scenes(for a 25ep series) but they are really well done,no romance,no funny parts(maybe some Rider & Waver scenes are funny)outstanding animation(2011-2012),char development, psychological aspects(depends on the viewer I guess),dark. No mechs,ecchi,childish,the whole setting is basically about magic/supernatural but not the main thing about it. It doesnt have a dub yet but it is on the way. Writer is Urobuchi Gen the one behind Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom. natssuu said: Beat me to itFate/Zero |

wisetaner said: CLYDESDALE said: A comprehensive list of user recommendations that relate. The funny thing about those "comprehensive list's" is that they always seem to lead back to the same group of animes. Of all the animes I've seen it always appears that the animes which are recommended are always the most popular. Perhaps half the time the recommended anime doesn't appear to have any resemblance to primary anime. I say this because after watching 180 animes, I'm finding it very challenging to find new animes that I really like. Even more difficult to find new and excitedly unique animes, such as the anime "Read or Die". About 80% of the animes in my "Plan to Watch" and "On Hold" list are merely there because I can't find anything better. The other 20% are either still in development, waiting to be aired, or waiting to be dubbed. Such as Fair Tail and Hellsing Ultimate. Same here except I havent seen nearly as many animes as you have. Ive seen the ROD movie (or..Ovas?) & they were pretty cool. If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know. |

Agreed I hate ecchi too for the same reason, the only ecchi I've been tolerating is boku wa tomodachi anyway. Hey give Blassreiter a try although I'm pretty sure you'll give it 7 below. Must say I just liked it probably because the MC kinda visually looks like Hei from DTB. |

Ive considered giving it a try but theres a powerranger looking guy & a mech looking thing in the pictures which made me not want to give it a chance. Oh I completely forgot the mecha restriction! Its kinda a mecha thing yes, especially in the other half of the show. But It's more physical fighting than anything else but what I really liked in that show was the MC backstory and his cool looking "transformation", yes they transform due to a virus and also the fight scenes are all in CG if I remember well (it was 4 years ago). There's some gore too but I have to say you may be disappointed with the ending, at least I was disappointed with the last fighting scene as for the remain episodes I would give it 8/10 the plot itself was really interesting in my opinion specially when the story gets finally focused on the true MC because he's just a mysterious character until there. It's not really good but it's either really bad, I don't know just watch the first episode maybe? Can't remember if it is enough to resume pretty much the anime ambience. EDIT: Just checked 1st episode and CG was bothering me a bit, maybe I were easily impressed 4 years ago don't know about you though. EDIT2: But I still got goosebumps from the last fighting scene of the 1st episode. |

That isn't really opening yourself up just because of pictures, but w/e each to their own I suppose.. |

| @ Vbyo He just dislike mecha visuals I guess so he's supposing it will ruin his entertainment same way if I see obvious ecchi stamped in the show's images will cut all my interest. |

And ZnT went horrible for me for an example, High School of the Dead I could care less it's watchable but the remaining ecchi I saw I dropped them and didn't even bothered to add them in my list. |

Just to clarify ive seen a lot of animes with ecchi stuff & with mech stuff. Im almost never interested in mech fights & always annoyed by ecchi. When checking out a anime on here it sometimes doesnt tell you all of its genre so you sort of have to figure it out by reading the synopsis & viewing the pictures (or just going to wikipedia but that takes so much more effort). The pictures had a mech in it which makes me think it has a lot of mech battles which I dont care for. Not that that always effects the actual story so in some cases I would still give it a try but im more looking for good action which mech animes usually dont deliver (in my opinion). Also, I hate when you remember an anime that you watched years ago to be real cool then rewatch it & end up disappointed. If Witch Hunter Robin is a anime you enjoyed as a child I suggest you leave it in your childhood. :/ |

I still recommend it for the action, it has no mecha, it's only mecha looking so the mecha feeling is lost because you know that's a virus outbreak from the very beginning. The fight scenes are all mostly melee, what can ruin you enjoyment is the CG action. I was almost 19 when I watched blassreiter and liked it so no childhood issue there. Don't know if you gave Witch Hunter Robin as a example because I didn't even knew what that was until I checked Wiki. Anyway just give Blassreiter 1st episode a try if you still searching for such anime genre. |
