if i remember correctly spirited away is a movie and not an episodic series?

[Samurai Kenji]

Beyblades
Sailor Moon
Yugioh
Mew Mew Power.

I kid i Kid.

Since i live in Japan i read alot of Manga (Don't watch alot of Anime though) i can't really make any recommendations since the only thing that i can think of thats availible in English (Or subtitles) Is mainstreamish crap that I'm sure everyone knows already.

Death Note, Afro Samurai and Samurai Champloo are the only ones that i can recommend that i know are in English.

Oh and Hentai yes pl0x.

Edit: Never again shall i post at 4 am.

@Cxk: I have the first 3 volumes of the Yugioh series, it's pretty. Never knew they made an anime from season 0 though.

Also I found the Zabuza arc in the original Naruto a nice one as well.

@skelengel: Yeah Spirited Away is an anime movie.

@Meidou: Dude Mew Mew was awesome ... under the influence of certain illegal substances :3

Bleach, Naruto, and Avatar: The Last Air Bender (Dunno if that one counts or not ) are my life. I love each of them to death, they are freaking AMAZING. Full Metal Alchemist is sick too, but, it doesn't have the intangible "it" quality I look for in Anime/TV Shows/Movies.

Season 0 is the prototype, and in my opinion a lot more interesting then the rest of the series.

I guess so, but after I saw them for the first time, I practically fell in love. They're awesome. I guess Airbender is kiddified, but I'm 13.

From what I can see, I think you'll like a sappy love story like Toradora!

Yeah, if it's the part I'm thinking off I can see why. It's mainly where Yami punishes bad people who come in contact with Yugi and his friends in many different shadow games, right? One of the shadow games that come to mind is one where they placed money on their hands and had to stab in the money using a knife.

Yeah, I guess everyone really has their own favourite series and opinions differ. We're not ones to be able to say you shouldn't like something because we didn't like it.

Also, in general Avatar isn't considered an anime due to the fact it isn't made in Japan/Asia, but it's made in the art style of an anime.

Watched the first 9 episodes of Toradora and then I dropped it. But this was straight after watching ZnT and SnS so that's probably the reason why.

I do enjoy love stories occasionally, but I also enjoy darker animes like Welcome to the N.H.K. and Chaos;Head. Aslong as it's nicely animated and well thought out I can dig.

I have a natural dislike of Mecha though. :<

Also, it seems like there is interest in this topic. So I'll put some work into the first post tommorow. (Adding a links section, some rules, some recommendations and genre explanations, etc...)

Zero no Tsukaima is horrible.

I'm currently following The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The main characters have been stuck in déjà vu for three episodes. ._.

You stabbed the target.

[Druin]

I've watched a shizzleload of anime.

If I had to narrow it down, the ones that I enjoyed the most are:

Kino's Journey (w/ the movies)
Last Exile
Samurai Champloo
Fullmetal Alchemist (w/ the movie)
Natsume Yuujinchou (and the sequel)
Mushishi
Samurai 7
Mononoke
Black Lagoon
Crest of the Stars
Daughter of Twenty Faces
Ga-Rei -Zero-
Kuro shizzlesuji
xxxHOLIC Kei
R.O.D. (along with R.O.D. TV)
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo
Grave of the Fireflies
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Kara no Kyoukai

I'm currently watching Monster and I'm almost done with it (about ten more episodes to go). Didn't feel like it was the 'best' series ever, but it's good. Who knows, maybe the ending will surprise me.

Alright. Guys, is Blood+ any good? I've been debating over watching it, and I really dont know.

Oh and if anyone can tell me of the anime in which this video is from, I'd greatly appreciate it. My friend wanted me to watch it and the name escapes me at the moment.

It's from Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (When the Cicadas Cry). Coincidentally, that's the only anime I've watched since I was a kid. It's pretty good; I recommend watching it. Just be warned, you might be a little confused about everything for awhile, but most of it gets explained in the second season.

Wow, thanks for the quick response.
Greatly appreciated. :]

You people... With your lists filled with like... 30 different animes that you watch...
I don't watch that many different T.V programmes for crying out loud!
Haven't any of you discovered partying/drinking/weed?
Honestly, you devout anime fans out there, who're probably watching anime right now, please, please go outside, and don't return 'til you're wasted.

Nope, actually I'm watching someone playing Yoshi Island via a stream, in a chat about random things, at the moment were talking about ferrets.
