I'm currently watching parasyte and kankolle since it just started.

[Slepnir]

Dear lord where to start. I have been into anime since I first started watching the original space cruiser yamato back in 1981 when it came to the USA as starblazers. incidentally the live action movie and the redo of the original first season (yamato 2199) last year were both fantastic.



It would help alot if you could narrow it down a bit by genre-
epic space adventure like
heroic age


sol bianca/the legacy





Alternate history-
ZIPANG


the cockpit


realistic mecha-
gundam 0080,0083,the 08th ms team, unicorn/




macross zero, plus, and frontier






action/humor-
magic users club,



photon,



lupin the 3rd OVA & movie.




fantasy-
record of lodoss war OVA,



fam&irie ruin explorers




japanese historical-
jubei nimpuch(ninja scroll),


samurai shamploo



air combat-yukikaze,



cyberpunk-
bubblegum crisis,



ghost in the shell stand alone complex,


appleseed movies,



silent Mobius





Doh, silly me, forgot entire categories in my previous post.

.action/drama-
black lagoon,


witch hunter robin,




gunslinger girl,


shamanic princess



.myazaki(yes he is his own catagory) all his stuff is good but my personal favorites-
naussica,


the crimson pig( por cco rosso),



princess mononoke,



.bizzare but fun-
furi kuri,




.others I forgot to put in thier catagory-
gunbuster,



dirty pair project eden movie(don't watch the dub it was horribly done) & OVAs,


the enemy is the pirate,



combustable campus guardress,



bast that ends with ard as a word,


detroit metal city,



evangelion,



escaflowne,



golden boy


cowboy beebop,




strike witches,


.hack quantum,



.hack into the world,



final fantasy advent children,
wicked city,
streetfighter the movie(japanese unedited ),
blue sub #6,


last exile


.berserk



P.S. the adventures of the galaxy rangers was not anime, but it was fantastic, I still have almost the entire show recorded on VHS, only missing 2 episodes, the trash, & one million emotions.

P.S.S. I highly recommend otaku-streamers.com for a huge variety of streaming videos to choose from, most not available in the US

For a series, it's a toss-up between Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. For movies, it would have to be Princess Mononoke or Nausicca.

[t Khrist]

To list a few that I haven't seen listed so far that I personally enjoyed (no particular order):

Aldnoah Zero (same creator as Geass)
Gargantua on the Verdurous Planet (short but great)
Fushigi Yuugi
One Piece (very long)
Bleach (very long)
Naruto (very long)
... and by very long I mean two of those are approaching 700 episodes and still running strong.
Hunter x Hunter (I HIGHLY recommend this one, extremely well done)
I will reiterate The Vision of Escaflowne (even the TV series)
The new Sailor Moon remake, Crystal, is much better than the original series.
Blue Exorcist
Gundam 08th MS Team (Short but sweet)


I'll add more when I recall them.

Cowboy Bebop is the Anime Gateway Drug for Adults

Umm...fan service. nuff said.

The first Full Metal Alchemist series. Hands down!

First time I watched it I reacted to how creepy the beginning was before it became almost like pure comedy and fun. Then things just get... Twisted and scary again. Seriously, I feel sorry for Ed and Alphonse.

Rurouni Kenshin

This is also a great anime. It also starts off as being a comedy but slowly turns into a rather tragic story. I own the whole collection and I love it.

[MechaBattler]

If you're into submarines, Blue Submarine 6. Blue Gender is a mech anime with giant bug monsters. It is very serious, not a lot of humor. The mechs are well designed, but smaller then say Battletech. Gunparade March is another good mecha anime that has a serious tone, but it's softened by the romantic aspects.

Most Gundam shows are good. But 0080 War in the Pocket and 08th MS team are the two best in my opinion.

[SterlingArcher1942]

Ghost in the shell followed by the TV sequal stand alone complex is arguably a sci fi masterpiece.
Cowboy bebop and Full Metal Alchemists are in that same masterpiece column

If you want a sci-fi mecha series, Sidonia no Kishi is also excellent.

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn is an excellant series if you want to get into the gundam line of shows.

Black Lagoon is an excellent adult themed modern day pirate show, as is Darker than Black, Zetsuen no Tempest, and Fate / Zero

Maybe we should just plug our MyAnimeList profiles here instead since you could just look at what everyone likes and click for further details:

I'm not typically drawn to mecha, but I enjoyed Aldnoah.Zero, RahXephon, and Broken Blade the most in that genre.

[An Anime Princess]

Myself, naturally.

[KnightmareX13]

- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Code Geass
- Broken Blade
- Gurren Lagann
- Yu Yu Hakusho
- Bubblegum Crisis
- Aldnoah.Zero
- Ghost in the shell (either the original movie or the TV series Stand Alone Complex both are good)

[Scurry]

For mecha shows, I'm fond of the Macross shows for small(er) robots, and Gurren Lagann for pure over-the-top super robot stuffs.

Euphor Kell, on 14 January 2015 - 04:56 PM, said:

as to my absolute favourite, i would have to say the Fate series (Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay night, Fate/Unlimited blade works)

The series is pretty good, but stay away from Fate/kaleid liner unless magical girls (and fanservice involving them) are your thing. Not gonna judge or anything......
