Geez, you still haven't watched GitS? Seems like a priority. Just keep in mind that the first two movies are nothing like SAC (and then SSS basically continues SAC). The first movie is still pretty good, but the second is more questionable.

And Samurai Champloo is fun, with pretty good animation from what I remember.

I never finished Shakugan no Shana, but the episodes I watched were interesting. The story really had something there, even if it began on a full downers. His friend's vanishing GF who he completely forgets hit me right in the feelings. That was just a darkly depressing moment.

That, and Fairy Tail is awful. (Also isn't DBZ complete now? I thought it was just DBS that was going.)

I loved Ouran. I guess it's *finally* getting a second season. Good thing I didn't just go ahead and read the manga.

That's the right answer. Brotherhood doesn't do as good of a job introducing you to the series as the original anime did. If you watch the first three episodes of the original show and you're still not interested in the premise, then it's a real pass. (Somehow..)

Nope. Its aged poorly and most people probably like it as much as they do because they watched it while they were teenagers and a lot of better anime wasnt easily available to them.

Dont get me wrong, its s good anime. Solid 7/10, but most FMA fans claim its a 9-10/10 anime which is laughable. If someone didnt enjoy it theres nothing weird about that, which is what keyblader probably thought going into the regular vs brotherhood apologetics you see every time people say they didnt like FMA.

Brotherhood is probably the only shounen battle anime I'd actually recommend. It's short (for shounen battle anime) and tells a good story. It was considered one of the best for many years and is only now starting to not be as popular, probably due to it being not as relevant anymore. The only other one I'd recommend is Dragon Ball (and none of its sequels).

Then again, if you consider 3-gatsu no lion a battle anime, I'd say just watch that instead as it's 10/10 being a hybrid between battle anime, slice of life, and romance / drama while being grounded in reality.

>Making comments about "top" anime.
It's all a load of shit. Make up your own opinions. Don't listen to the hive mind. Half of MAL's top 20 is filled with Gintama and Attack on Titan. Then you see 3-gatsu no Lion at 10 and Your Name at 20.

I wouldn't say it's just that they're overrated, they're not terribly good on top of that.

EvilMegas posted...

Story-wise, both versions suck. The original's character-work sucks harder, though. Brotherhood has some great-looking fight scenes, although that wasn't enough to keep me going, particularly when Brotherhood covers many of the first FMA's story beats but in less detail and with less buildup. You care about the original's Hughes. Brotherhood's Hughes you don't really get much of a feel for.

DB really goes downhill by the end, but at least it doesn't get into the convoluted shit seen in the sequels.

No. For an anime that was running at the same time hunter x hunter was way better, but that wasnt on adult swim so most teenagers never saw it like they did with fma.

fma was a perfectly fine gateway anime, but anybody who has a developed understanding of the cinematic arts both in anime and regular media can point out the multiple flaws in fma that keep it from being truly great.

No my platform is that its a perfectly fine anime that doesnt deserve a shocked or confused reaction from people when they are told somebody didnt enjoy EITHER version. You FMA fans are literally a meme in the anime community because of it, and casuals shouldnt be the ones questioning other peoples taste.

Theres plenty of flawed anime I enjoy that I wouldnt expect others to, of judge them if they didnt. But whenever you people hear someone say they didnt enjoy FMA or think its average (it is) its like a sprocket breaks loose in your heads and you try to work out with that person where things went wrong like you are going through a breakup.

There are masterpieces out there that warrant that reaction, FMA is NOT one of them.

lmao. How many seasonal anime are you watching this season? I am watching:
  • Dragon Maid S
  • Bokutachi no Remake
  • Love Live Superstar
  • Shiroi Suna no Aquatope
  • Kageki Shoujo
Please do not call people casuals unless you have some backup. What a joke.

Oh, you are one of those anime people. Thank you for your contributions to the body pillow industry, but negative points for giving anime fans a weird image in the west.

Sadly the only great anime of this season so far is Sonny Boy. That is one which will be remembered for years to come, and not because it was many peoples first anime experience like FMA.

I was never that into the Digimon anime, particularly since Adventure and the first follow-up were such rubbish. Tamers interested me, but I never got around to watching the whole thing, and everything after Tamers didn't really intrigue me. (And the stuff I learned about the later Tamers -- where characters can swipe any card -- kinda soured me as well)
