| @SweetlyKaoru I guess since your friend hasn't seen much, so she's a beginner If you want basics, I always say watch some Ghlibi films and the newer ones are pretty good like: Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle but you've already seen them so how about these... School Rumble Aria Black Lagoon Also, anything you've seen would be a good choice for her too :) |

I have yet to see any of those suggestions myself (whoopsy) but I did get her and another started on FLCL. The other girl's reaction to the first ep was priceless. XD But thanks for the help! ^_^ |
     |
| Oh, and I have another (very similar) question: Do you know any anime where there is a relationship between male adult and teenager (male or female)? Not a comedy. |
 |
| @Miyoki hmm... the only one I know is Mai-otome or maybe even Sailor Moon... but both are Magical Girl anime (more or less for Mai-otome) and I don't think you are looking for something like that btw. I also need a recommendation. I am looking for a name for a rather stereotypical magical girl anime. May be made up. Just something really clichéed. I need a name for an anime my Shadowrun RPG character is watching. Don't know if this here is the right thread to ask for something like that but I don't know where I should ask else. Thanks in advance An00 |

   |
| that sounds much more like something I wanted to use ... maybe even more exaggerated. I'm looking forward for more suggestions ^^ |
|
| Try Rental Magica... typical magic anime |

| Username: laurenxtaylor Looking for: something that will make me laugh out loud. :) Favourite Genres: slice of life, comedy Any other comments/information: i'm willing to watch any series, so just give me some suggestions =P |
 |
| lauren since you sayed you like Slice of life you can always try out Toradora! And as for the laughing part you could try out Sayonara zetsubou sensei =) |
  |
| For laurenxtaylor School Rumble My all time funniest anime I've seen, random sweet fun for all ages Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu? One of the craziest anime out there although you kinda need to watch the prequel/1st series Full Metal Panic! to understand who these characters are Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei I didn't laugh as much as I wanted to but it has lots of comedy and wonderful characters Edit: I'll also add Hayate the Combat Butler! Another one full of random fun |

 |
| 1) Yes 2) You can recommend to any of the recent recommendation requests or post in some of the many threads we have ( such as "Best of each genre", "Best of each aspect", etc. ) Otome wa Boku ni koishiteru, is a pretty good comedy with a cross-dresser Kaleido Star, isn't exactly a sport anime, but I really recommend it ^^ |
|

Miyoki said: Oh, and I have another (very similar) question: Do you know any anime where there is a relationship between male adult and teenager (male or female)? Not a comedy. Srry for being late, I'd say Koi Kaze suits your description just fine ... and not a comedy. and ... possibly offtopic : @pupsia : Hmm ... you haven't seen Suzuka. And since u gave a 10 to Itazura or Lovely Complex, you should enjoy this, too. Sport included, also. |

| Username: Icinight Looking for: sports,fighting.action.(maybe light romance for g/f she's fickle) Favourite Genres: Sports, Fighting,Romance Any other comments/information: umm as far as i look at the genres idk sometimes my mind skews things a bit differnt like Hajime No Ippo for instance i consider that both sports and fighting since its boxing and all lol and romace could be very light in my eyes but anyway, fav animes's PoT, Hajime No Ippo, History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, and BEST OF ALL Rurouni Kenshin FTW anything with a feel like these will probly be a big hit with me |

| Username: Hayzen Looking for: something that's very enjoyable to watch. no super-extended animes like Naruto though. Favourite Genres: Slice-of-Life,Comedy,Harem,Romance,School Life,Shonen Any other comments/information: I'm new to watching animes. barely watched anything good so don't expect too much from my list. =) my favorites so far are Clannad (season1 and ~AS~) and Bleach for shonen anime. |
   |
| @icinight Hmm, I'm not really into sports anime, but I guess I can rec some from the others genres: - ( I'd say Akagi for sports, but it's not the fighting type, it's psychological ) - action / fighting : Karas (OVAs), Gantz, Baccano and Hellsing OVAs , I like them way more than the TV series. And Cowboy bebop, a definitely must see, even it's a bit old ( in fact not older than kenshin :P ) - action / fighting + samurai : Sword of the Stranger (movie), and maybe Shigurui (that's a very good one IMHO, and you should try to watch it even if the first episodes may seem a <bit> too bloody ) -and , for the sake of your gf ^_^, some great romance anime for watching are Honey & Clover and Nodame Cantabile. Extremely enjoyable, too. ( meaning you could watch them together ) I think you should try Shin Angyo Onshi ( movie ), but bear in mind that the manga is the one that's outstanding. You could watch it, and then read the manga ;) That's my advise, based on what I discovered on my list that you haven't yet seen. If you want some details , feel free to ask |
SharkallMay 29, 2009 7:50 AM
| @Hayzen Enjoyable : Golden Boy ( must see ), I've already said H&C and Nodame, and Detroit Metal City ( not romance/scool life/harem etc, but still ... well ... extremely funny ). - then ( tier #2 ): School rumble, Maria + Holic, Kimi Kiss and Toradora - ongoing : Hatsukoi limited - and a bit more drama oriented : 5 centimeters per second ( movie ), White album, True Tears. Zetsubou sensei is a viable option, too. I almost forgot, Full metal panic Fumoffu for enjoyable. The downside is that's not the first series , and you have to watch some mecha beforehand (first series). However, I'd say it pays off ( except if you're really avoiding action/mecha ). -and, last but not least, some <start-with> shonen anime : Claymore, Fate/stay night and Basilisk. ~ 24 eps each of them ^_^ Hope that's helpful |

Td99 said: Username:Td99 Looking for: something short, enjoyable and with some action. Favourite Genres:Shonen, Seinen, fantasy, Sci-fi Any other comments/information: How about Watching TTGL in the movie Version? XD If you have Baccano in it, than watch it right now, so every other Anime seems less good.^^ The Toward the Terra series is one of my favorite SciFi ones with only... 26 eps. Karas - short, full of action and fantasy. Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen - less fantasy -> more history, and still one of the best OVA every Full Metal Panic! series - just 12/13 eps with nice action and comedy. Seirei no Moribito - 26 eps again, but best fantasy of '07... time has passed, it it so old already^^ Sword of the Stranger - just as "historical" true as the others...g, heavy action at times with good animation and just 2 hrs long.^^ |
^_^  ^_^ |
| Looking for: ecchi anime, something like Kanokon would be nice. Favourite genre: harem, ecchi Other comments: it musn't be harem, but need ecchi and no pervert as main! and there must be interest for the main as well. look at list to see which I have seen, which is quite few inside this genre. |
| @njasis I don't watch a lot of ecchi but try Koihime+Musou? except it's an all female anime http://myanimelist.net/anime/4262/Koihime%E2%80%A0Musou |

| Username: unmei Looking for: There's two types of anime that I want to watch from. A recommendation for either or both would be great! Not something too long, such as over 50 eps. 1) A heartwarming, romance anime with drama. E.g. Clannad 2) An anime with a unique, unpredictable storyline that keeps you thinking. Psychological. Favourite genres: - romance - psychological - drama - comedy - I don't mind some action, but not too much so as to overwhelm the story |
 |
| @unmei Hmm, starting with 2), since there are just a few of them I would rec : - great storyline, unique and psychological => that would be Higurashi ; 26 + 24 eps, very good plot but don't know if you enjoy horror genre ...anyway, that would be my best guess. Must see ! - Also, I would say Monster, exceptional characters and unpredictable plot; if you are patient enough ( huh, 74 eps ) you'll enjoy the thrilling story, the deep and complex insights. brilliant ! Then, for 1), you should try 5 centimeters per second / Kanon (2006) / True Tears ... that would be romance/drama - oriented. Maybe Toradora, too. No time to ellaborate, but I'll say that heartwarming ( clannad-type ) is a bit difficult to find. - definitely Honey & Clover. A good mix of comedy / romance / drama, the type that can make you laugh or cry minutes apart. Deals with love in every aspect, from confused, unshared, obsessive to just simple love. 2 series ( 24 + 12 ) Edit : I think you should try Elfen lied, too, it's somehow 1) + 2), since it's psychological, dramatic and a romance, too. A bit on the darkside, though, as it's often cruel and bloody , but it's only 13 eps long. Won't detail , since there are a lot of reviews to read about it. Masterpiece |

My Goddess,5 centimeters per second,Air(resembles a bit clannad),Greeen Green,Onegai Teacher,Onegai Twins,Metropolis,True Tears,Victorian Romance Emma. All of these anime contain a lot of romance,most are also very funny.However some of them are very sad or don't have a happy ending,but I thought you should watch them since they have a very beautiful story. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| Thanks for the recommendations :) There all going to my plan to watch list XD |
| |
| Alright, let's give this a try. Username: Slashandz Looking for: A Short - Medium length anime series for my free time. Favourite Genres: Lighthearted Fantasy Adventures, containing action is a big plus. Any other comments/information: "Fantasy" meaning swords, magic, demons, and the like. Not a fan of mechas, hentai, or overly dark/serious anime. "Night Wizard: The Animation" was a godsend. =P Thanks a lot!! |
| @slashandz I was going to say Tsubasa Chronicles, but it's pretty long I think you should give Prism Ark a go. Swords, magic, romance, demons( actually called angels, but are bad ) I loved it ^^ |
|

Swords, magic, romance, demons( actually called angels, but are bad ) I loved it ^^ I've looked into it, and it certainly seems like something I'd enjoy.... except it looks awfully feminine. O_o Regardless, I'll watch a bit and let you know what I think! |
| @slashandz I would say Claymore, Fate/ stay night and To aru majutsu no index. In this order ^_^ And maybe Baccano, too, that's not exactly magic/swords/demons, but a good fantasy action nonetheless. Give it a try, I'm sure you'll like it. |
| Username: Dark_Puddles (hi i'm new to who ever reads this) Looking For: 1. Supernatural, preferably mystery along the lines of xxxholic or ghost hunt. Thinking about Natsume Yuujinchou but looking for other suggestions. 2. Slice of life, comedy with some other element to it like The Melancholy. 3. Something along the lines of Kino's Journey or Mushishi. Favourite Genres: Fantasy/Supernatural and Psychological. Any other Info: I like darker/serious series and even more so if they have comedy at the right moments in them but not in abundance. I like anime that makes you think but I am starting to hate anime that only makes sense and seems good at the end like Baccano and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (though I quite liked them both in the end). Though i will give most things a try. That's probably not helpful in anyway what so ever but any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks. |

| 1. Since you watched Ayakashi, why don't you try Mononoke Here's some others: Serial Experiments Lain Seirei no Moribito 2. You have a weird definition of "Slice of life." These are really what I think of them Aria the Animation Genshiken Minami-ke Hyakko They all have sequels except for Hyakko. |
|
| recommend me a coming of age story w/ good romance like "Touch" or "Cross Game" or "Beck" (doesn't necessarily have to be sports-related or music-related) |
 |
| Thanks for the recommendations shoxk, I don't know why i put Kino's Journey and Mushishi as slice of life, I should of made another one, guess my brain wasn't working. I think i might try Aria and Serial Experiments Lain. I've read a bit about Mononoke but i didn't really like Ayakashi so i really didn't think about watching it and I just wanted to know if it's that much different than what it was like in Ayakashi? |
| |
shinigamidono said: recommend me a coming of age story w/ good romance like "Touch" or "Cross Game" or "Beck" (doesn't necessarily have to be sports-related or music-related) Hmm I'd say Dennou Coil has sort of a coming of age feel to it, it's not really heavy on romance but it is present in the show. I would have also suggested Eureka Seven but seems like you've seen it already. |
Dark_Puddles said: I've read a bit about Mononoke but i didn't really like Ayakashi so i really didn't think about watching it and I just wanted to know if it's that much different than what it was like in Ayakashi? If you remember the 3rd and last arch of Ayakashi about the medicine seller.. Mononoke is a separate series continuing the medicine seller adventures |

aoikishu said: @slashandz I was going to say Tsubasa Chronicles, but it's pretty long I think you should give Prism Ark a go. Swords, magic, romance, demons( actually called angels, but are bad ) I loved it ^^ Wow, I really underestimated Prism Ark. Aside from the unholy amount of Ecchi, this show is.... just about perfect. I'm on episode 5 and loving it! Thank you so much!! |
