I was needing some animes to watch. I have to update talk with a friend...
I have read in many places suggesting the Evangelion...

I am going to watch it next summer or in a very lazy weekend.

(yeah I had in mind to add an anime subforum for several months now, with the increase in loli fans over here... er... wait, that's Geno :P, I mean anime fans in general)

I don't watch new anime much myself, since I hardly watch TV anymore since the day I got both a calculator and a copy of MTVMG. My creativity took my entire time that was once devoted to gaming and watching TV. So far I mostly watched ones from the '80s and early '90s, but many people recommend NGE. Supposedly good anime except the ending.

All I've seen so far is:
-Dragon Ball Z ep 1 through 26 (the only ones that ever aired on antenna TV)
-Some Yu-Gi-Oh episodes
-Pokémon season 1, 2 and the first half of 3 (surpringsly fun even for adults, altough the repetitiveness with the Team Rocket shit can get annoying from time to time)
-Some sparse Digimon episodes
-Some Sailor Moon episodes (watched them around 1992-94)
-Mysterious Cities Of Gold (for some reasons, this is considered as an anime, but as you can tell, I love it so much compared to anything else that I even made a fan game based on it)

Basically mostly the generic stuff, half of which aired before most Omnimaga members even came to birth :P

My brother is a big anime fan. I'm not sure if I could get it to sign up here since idk if he posts on forums much but he is a fan of Ghost In The Shell, Armitage, Evangelion, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, Dragon Ball and I wouldn't be surprised if he got into other stuff online.

I saw all you mention except Mysterious Cities Of Gold but I have heard of it. Maybe I saw because it took some years to reach my country, tough. It was 2 decades ago, now, around here things are following by close "occidental" phenomenons.

It really sucks when good series end bad and are great...

This topic remembers me I have got to complete my anime list... Done. DJ you helped a lot. :P
And edited my first topic.

I am going to see One Piece because it seems hilarious but is a long anime, I think. What do you think?
Title: Re: Recommended Animes
Post by: jbr on February 21, 2010, 02:35:16 pm
I'll weigh in on Eva too, since the thread has drifted that way...
Evangelion, to me, is fascinating for more than what it is by itself, if that makes any sense. Evangelion is sort of an extension of its creator, Hideaki Anno, a man of very little confidence and a rather depressive nature. Basically, it started out and was always intended to be a run-of-the-mill mecha action anime, but over the course of its development, Anno lost faith in his fans, his industry, and his profession, and decided to send a somewhat dark and controversial message instead.
At least, this is how I see it...

Anyway, it's interesting for many reasons, and it's certainly considered to be one of the most influential anime ever created, or even perhaps the absolute most important period. I like it, and there is a lot more to say about it (specifically the events leading up to the ending and interpreting what, exactly, the ending actually is), but I'll leave my comments on it at this for now.

I could talk about some of my favorite anime now, but my preference deviates pretty harshly genre-wise from the titles that have been listed so far...
I'm in to romance, drama, slice-of-life, that sort of thing... I guess I'll say this. I love Kyoto Animation the most out of all the animation studios. They created Full Metal Panic (except for the first season), Air, Kanon, Clannad (these last three are all stories from visual novels written by Key), The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, and K-On.
FMP is a comedy/action/romance combination series...
Air, Kanon and Clannad are Romance stories...
Haruhi is in a genre by itself...
Lucky Star and K-On are both slice-of-life, but Lucky Star is more of a comedic parody anime while K-On is focused on the moe factor.

One issue with some stuff I watched, such as MCOG and Albator is that they often came out first in Japan and France and took several years to get translated into english. I heard MCOG came out in UK in 1989 or something, even if the series dates back in 1982, and the translation was terrible. For some reasons, that stuff always seemed to be translated in french first, before english. It migth have been due to greater popularity in France at the time. Also some stuff was renamed in France. For example Captain Harlock was renamed to Albator, because a cartoon/comic had a character called Captain Haddock and this leaded to confusion among kids, and the opposite happened too, like Goldorak in France being renamed to Grendizer in english speaking countries.

I wouldn't be surprised if some anime was renamed when translated from Japaneese to English too, because MCOG in Japan was called 太陽の子エステバン (Taiyō no Ko Esuteban), which meant "Esteban: A Boy From The Sun".
Title: Re: Recommended Animes/Manga
Post by: jsj795 on February 21, 2010, 07:56:19 pm
Usually, many of the Japanese anime were translated into Korean first, since they are the neighboring country. Although I'm still young (not twenties yet) but I know many of old anime... lol

Oh, btw, if you don't mind sports anime, I recommend Slam Dunk. That was fun!
Title: Re: Recommended Animes/Manga
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 21, 2010, 08:45:34 pm
I heard about that one before, they had mangas of it too. Btw, on the Manga subject, does anyone remember Fly? I didn't read all of them but I quite liked them. Some parts were a bit like DBZ but better drawn in overall.

I also remember that Akira Toriyama manga that teaches how to draw mangas. It was like some story as well and it was funny at times :P

Hellsing Ultimate is pretty good, vampires and mercenaries fighting vampire nazis in modern London. Its much better than Hellsing. Blood + was pretty good and also had vampires, and FLCL is good if you like randomness. Gun Slinger Girl was depressing and I wasn't fond of it, Blade of the Immortal lacked an ending which sucks and I'd recommend neither.

Dragonball and Dragonball Z

Code Geass
Death Note

I have read and recommend:
Naruto
Bleach
Dragonball Z
Full Metal Alchemist (Manga is better than anime imo)
Inuyasha (Didn't like it that much but I recommend it for chicks)
Title: Re: Recommended Animes/Manga
Post by: Eiyeron on April 10, 2012, 10:23:56 pm
First, I'm French, but
Here is a vademecum of my while life of anime:

Little (elementary-primary school)
-Pokemon, because Pokemon. But just to Jotho, then it's just money business...
-little, I watched too Digimon, but quickly dropped off, I considerated this like a crappy ripp-off
-sailor moon, I even don't know why did I watched this! Maybe because I had a little crush on the blonde :-°... Aw, youngness, Where are you now?
-CArd captor Sakura, something is better than Sailor. I remember just some things of this, but I know that I enjoyed this anime, but why? I'll
Look this again, that wakes my curiosity (and Le joueur du grenier m'a gentiment ressorti ça dans son dernier numéro, donc...)
-yu-gi-oh And beyblade because mode effect, just don't look at this...

There was some non-Asian things great though:
-Samurai Jack, just a little pearl of epicness ( and I almost writed Perl instead of pearl)
-Code Lyoko, French thing about collegians saving the world by defending a virtual world :-° Not specially great, but persistent in memories

Collège period:
-DBZ, just why did I bought the whole 42 books?
 At college, I started not liking anymore anime that I thinked puerile...

Lycee:
-Death Note, only the first part, with L is good
-D.Gray-Man
-Deadman Wonderland
-GTO

Special Mention to City Hunter, called "Nicky Larson" who got really crappy dubs!

And sorry for necro, but I can't throw away for indefinite time my past, I must talk of it without becoming aggressive, or blurry, avoiding. It's for me, a step.
Than you to have red my post! ;)

To finish, my recommend list:
-GTO
-Deadman Wonderland, but behave: guts and blood
-Nicky Larson in French for da lolz
Title: Re: Recommended Animes/Manga
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 10, 2012, 10:40:01 pm
I actually watched Sailor Moon for a short while as kid lol, but I got bored after a while. It aired on a free TV channel in the early '90s here.

I myself mostly watched the following:

-Dragon Ball Z (first 26 episodes). Not too bad, but some stuff seems to be dragged on over an excessive amount of episodes sometimes.
-The Mysterious Cities of Gold: Only if you like exploration-based stuff or RPGs. Also this is a co-french-japanese production, so while it's considered as an anime by many people, it is more a mix of cartoon and anime.
-Yu-Gi-Oh: Not that I was much into card games, but I liked to watch it.

As for Code Lyoko, my bro used to like that a lot actually. 
Title: Re: Recommended Animes/Manga
Post by: FinaleTI on April 11, 2012, 02:25:09 am
I'm a bit of a Sailor Moonie myself. I've seen about 150 of the 200 episodes, but the Black Moon Circus Arc is reallly slow, which is why I haven't really watched much past it.

Code Lyoko's pretty good too, but I haven't watched most of it.

And Deadman Wonderland is fantastic! I'm in the middle of watching it myself.

Some of my personal favorite animes are:
Code Geass: It's just a fabulous show with an amazing ending.
Shakugan no Shana: Slice of life/magical girl/romance with a kickass heroine.
Star Driver: It's very camp, and probably a little NSFW, but a great show overall.
Guilty Crown: Fantastic but incredibly sad, especially the ending.
Baka and Test: School life/romantic comedy/incredible amount of comedy and a fantastic cast.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni: Murder/mystery genre. Pretty gory, like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, but it's a really good show, and they use Schrodinger's Cat to disprove the fact that a witch's battle took place at one point.

Post by: Juju on April 11, 2012, 05:49:57 am
I didn't really watched Sailor Moon myself, seems pretty interesting. And obviously, Pokémon (Gen 1) was a must.

Anyway, here's my list of anime.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu: Probably one of the best, involves paranormal stuff such as time travel, aliens and crazy girls.
Lucky Star: Pretty much slice of life about an otaku girl. By the same folks who made Haruhi, there's tons of Haruhi references in it.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magical girls, there's tons of mindfuck but has surpassed Haruhi as the best anime ever. Pretty interesting.
K-ON!: It's about some girls who forms a music band at school. Pretty nice anime.
Shinryaku! Ika Musume: About a squid girl from the sea with squid powers who wants to take over the earth due to ecological reasons, but completely fails at it. Very funny.

Planetes is a great hard sci-fi series about space junk collectors in the future. If you have watched the movie Gravity, you will notice the similarities.
Hyouka - about a high school club that ends up solving mysteries. I found it very relaxing to watch. It's from KyoAni, the same studio that animated Haruhi, so you can know it will look great.
Tokyo Magnitude 8 - follows a brother and sister making their way home after a hypothetical magnitude 8 earthquake. I don't want to spoil the ending, but let's just say it will knock the feels right out of you.

Yep, why not both? You guys should watch this one.
Unfortunately, it's not a real anime, but it would be pretty awesome.

Otherwise, the local movie theater (the one almost 2 hours of transit from my home) have anime around 3 times a year and it's pretty fun going there. last one was Anohana, which is pretty sad.

A month ago me and juju watched Tiger & Bunny at a theater since he had a free ticket and at first it was kinda confusing and weird, until we realized what it was about. It was kinda fun actually, although the name was a bit misleading to me since I don't watch anime often, so I thought it was a clone of Bugs Bunny or some other cartoon. :P

Attack on Titan (Anime and Manga: practically no changes but manga is farther) and One-Punch Man (just a manga) are both quite good.

Eyup, 11/10 I recommend. :P Beware though that it may contain some slightly not suitable for parents scenes. :trollface:

Also, Beck was awesome. I both read the manga and watched the anime, it's epic. It's the story of a rock band, but really most of it is teens enjoying life.

WakaMote (complete title : Watashi ga Motenai no wa dō Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! you understand why there's the small version) is super-nice. It's in the slice-of-life genre, and basically it's the story of a no-life girl that, as she enters high school, decides that she wants to be popular.

I'm curently watching Code Geass (Lelouch of the Rebellion). An excellent anime with character development, mecha et nice artwork.

Bakuman is quite good. It's a shonen title about two guys and their journey to become managaka. It has comedy and romance elements to it. It was done by the same mangakas that created deathnote, so the art and story are quite good. I recommend either the manga or the anime.

Since this thread has seen a resurgence in popularity and I've actually watched a dozen or so animes now (http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Runer112) (don't judge me, baka), I may as well pipe in. I'm still fairly new to anime, so I've been starting with the more popular ones. Sorry if you've already seen this!

My most highly rated anime so far is Spice and Wolf (Ookami to Koushinryou) (http://myanimelist.net/anime/2966/Ookami_to_Koushinryou). For me, it was the perfect combination of economics, history, fantasy, romance, and thrill. Perhaps this is just because I'm particularly nerdy, but I found that the economics and trading provided more drama and thrill than any fighting. The characterization and the dub were amazing, and I imagine the sub is, too. The leading female role is a beautiful fox godess, but this is not a furry or ecchi anime, so that's just a pleasant bonus. My only gripe was that it ends so soon, after two seasons, without a satisfying ending that wraps things up. I guess that's because there was no wrap-up at that point in the source material, which could've probably gone for another four seasons or so.

I also recently finished accel world which was pretty good. I takes place in the same universe as SAO, but years later. I've also been watching log horizon some. *Edit* also, Durarara (sub or dub) is amazing. If I haven't mentioned it before now, that's a sin. Go watch it, NAO.  :blah: *Edit again* Also remember that I watched Ping pong the animation recently. It's an anime about ping pong (duh) and growing up. It's a pretty short series, but also quite good. Don't be put of by the art, (which isn't so great) the story si pretty good.

My spouse is the one who watches anime, but sometimes I watch too! I have yet to see one series or movie that I disliked, but I can never remember their names :|

Yesterday we watched Patema Inverted and it is exactly the type of movie I like! Fair warning, it made me question my orientation a few times ;D
I've wanted to see Paprika for a while now, and we might be seeing that today!

And for anybody who like humor, I have been a fan of the abridged version of Dragonball Z for the past like 6 years. Very funny, gets the original plot across, and episodes are still being made.

/me begins judging

I'd say it's a pretty good list of anime to watch. I'd recommend adding Code Geass to your list as well. Also, I see you have "The Devil is a Part Timer" in there. It is currently my favorite comedy. FMA:B is great, as is Steins;Gate (neither of which I've finished, though, mind you). Death Parade is really great and really emotional, but the first episode is really freaking psychological.

Ooh, I've seen The Devil Is a Part Timer and it was pretty good! Ky says it's 8/10 because the ending could have been better, but I thought it was decent ending.

Ah yeah, I saw that one, well at least te first episode, isn't it that one the protagonists are in a glasses club and try to invent some fancy x-ray pair of glasses that backfires on them each time?

Stein's gate was excellent. I watched it at calc84maniac's recommendation. The Devil Is a Part-timer I watched about 3/4 of and then quit. I couldn't really get into it. I gave it a shot at a friend's recommendation.

So I made a MyAnimeList club for Omnimaga: http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=70060
This way we can have an easily accessible way to view everyone's lists.
