Poll of the Day > Can someone recommend me a good anime?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I haven't watched too many but I really liked: Samurai Champloo, Attack on Titan, Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, Assassination Classroom, and Sword Art Online.

Eden of the East is pretty nice

Parasyte is good/bad, the quality is erratic

What are you looking for? There are a shitload of different genres for what you're in the mood for.

One Punch Man is always great.

Yuki Yuna Is a Hero is great if you want an anime to surprise you.(the first half is a very by the numbers Magical Girl anime, but the last half pretty much is completely different from the first half)

I'd really need to know what you want to recommend anything else.

I think it's more of a pacing issue. I haven't read an original manga if there was one, but I would imagine it's very wordy as Migi and... forgot the protagonists name :V... converse about human-parasite relations

When it comes up in the show, sometimes it hits well and sometimes it's really not pace appropriate... overall it's pretty good though

Yuyu Hakusho

---

I agree with YuYu Hakusho, though you've probably watched it and just didn't list it (I don't know; I feel like it's pretty popular).

Konosuba is also fun. The fan service is too high sometimes, but it's still a fun show.

Dragon Ball Z is pretty good

---

JoJo's obviously. Fate/Zero but you should watch Fate/stay night first even though that part isn't good. BLEACH if you didn't already since that's very mainstream. Just skip all the filler parts (I'm sure there's episode lists with this). I wouldn't class it as good but Yu-Gi-Oh! is fun. Well the 5Ds series was pretty good actually. Last one I watched was ZEXAL so I'm far behind.

Berserk Golden Arc.

WTF? Just because one is better than the other doesn't mean something can't be pretty good.

absolutely do not watch the old F/SN anime what the hell it's terrible and one-off spoils shit for the sake of it with no buildup because they didn't think they'd ever get around to fully adapting everything properly

current era fate watching order if you don't want to read is Zero -> UBW anime -> HF movies. UBW does a good enough job covering stuff you needed to know from the first route. original anime should not be touched until after HF

---

The Baccano dub is great and it's only like 6 episodes.

Seems we have fairly similar taste, so some of my favorites that you don't have on your list: Monster, Code Geass, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and if you haven't seen the Brotherhood edition of Fullmetal Alchemist, I think it's better than the first FMA anime.

To be fair I did say it was not good lol. Forgot bout UBW yeah so with that you don't need to watch the original. Also was gonna mention Black Lagoon in my first post but somebody else brought it up.

---

Avatar: The Last Airbender (the animated series) is really good. Korra isn't bad either.

Thanks for all the recommendations guys. I'll have to read through all this when I have a little more time.

it's worse than not good, it actively ruins stuff you'll watch later. it's an "avoid at all costs" kind of deal until you already know UBW/HF plots

I think I preferred the GTO dub to sub? idk, been a while since I watched it. Just wish the series wasn't so damn short.

I haven't actually watched it dubbed so i can't comment although 43 episodes isn't that short. i too would have loved for it to keep going though. I just kinda felt like his biker gang punk attitude probably wouldn't translate all that well into any western accent but maybe they managed fine.

I'll say it again....

Berserk (the 1997 version, and the Golden Arc Movies)

---

I love Black Lagoon and Cowboy Bebop. They're both very worth checking out. They've got a similar sorta vibe to them, with a plucky crew travelling about on adventures, albeit one now in the South China Sea on a boat and the other in the future in a space ship. They're both really fun though. Steins;Gate is pretty enjoyable too.

I am not a huge anime fan. Most of them I sorta watch once then just never want to go back to. I feel like the odd one that hooks me must be good. The only arguably "junk food" one I like is Dragon Ball, but a lot of that is nostalgia.

Ok, I know I didn't exactly give a glowing review of Parasyte in my recommendation, but thinking about it more retroactively there's a lot of good moments in it about what it means to be human... the most apropos scene being the dog.

I tend to like things with mystery and intrigue. I like characters you can get attached to and root for, but im not opposed to them dying GoT style. I like magic and God/demon stuff. Philosophical themes are cool.

I haven't seen it. I have a weird bias against certain titles and idk why. Like I have no interest in Naruto, One Piece, and a few other really popular ones despite not really knowing anything about them.

Yeah I have. Liked them both for different reasons. :)

We do. I'll probably look a few of those up, especially the ones that other people have suggested too.

That one caught my eye too. Maybe I'll check it out.

I've been eyeing these too. I've tried to watch Cowboy Bebop soooo many times. I will eventually get through it and probably love it because I loved Samurai Champloo.

I do like existential themes so maybe I'd like it.

South Park: good times with weapons is hands down the best anime ever.

I have a feeling you'd probably really like YuYu Hakusho then even though you seem to not wanna see it because its popular or w/e. Then again over half the ones you've seen and people have mentioned are super popular too.

Oh, I watched BNA a few months ago. It didn't start great, but I wound up liking it.

Well, either it felt short because of how it ended or it felt like it could have for a lot longer. I guess 43 episodes isn't terrible all things considered.

Yeah, I know it makes no sense at all. Lol. I'll take a look at it.

@Kimbos_Egg Thank you for your contribution. I will take it into account.

The second season is currently airing so good news I guess.
