One of the recent anime I really enjoyed is the first season of Sword Art Online. The show on its own isn't particularly great but its the only anime me and the wife watched together and she also liked it since she was able to related to some of our WoW experiences so it was fun to watch :)

Ah the best anime ever is Rurouni Kenshin :)

Black Rune July 9th, 2015 15:36

I watch them on
anime1.com
and
animegg.org

Find there what I like, even the older ones like "Monster" for example, they buffer the video nicely even with my slower net connection.

ToddMcF2002 July 9th, 2015 18:52

Some great ones on Netflix:
Attack on Titan
Knights of Sidonia
Fate Zero
Psycho Pass
Samurai Champloo
Full Metal Alchemist

I'm actually really surprised how good Knights of Sidonia is. It's up there with Last Exile (which unfortunately vanished from Netflix some months back).

joxer July 9th, 2015 19:27

errr… People…
No genre, no thoughts about opening scene, no what is it about, no praising great sub/dub, no number of eps/seasons, no… nothing?

It's like suggesting me a game title without stating it's a grinder.
Cmon, a few sentences about each one would not hurt.

I've updated the post with links on streaming sites.

azarhal July 9th, 2015 20:14

I'm currently watching Arslan Senki (the Legend of Arslan). It's basically an old school adventure anime based in an imaginary Middle-East during the Crusades (it's based on a old novel series). The only downside: production quality has issues.

If you like new old school adventure anime, I also suggest The Rage of Bahamut:Genesis. It feels a lot like a D&D module adventure (the setting is based on the TCG Rage of Bahamut that might explain why).

I second Psyco-Pass, not enough cyberpunk out there, and Knight of Sidonia, because space!

If you like mecha, I suggest Fafner Exodus, the second part will air this Fall (it's a sequel to a 10 years old series available on Funimation, new one is on Crunchy). Same art director as Gundam Seed though, but awesome actions and there is suspense in the plot. Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor - Exodus for its full name. Aldnoah Zero felt flat in comparison (although amazing OST and animation, Sawano is godly).

For wacky stuff, Samurai Flamenco takes the cake in the last few years. It's basically a documentary/critic on superheroes from Japan to the USA going through the last 100 years, but doesn't feel like a documentary.

For psychological anime, Death Parade. Ever wonderered how souls where selected to go to heaven or hell, this is the show for you. The opening is a winner too.

People who like Sword Art Online might want to check Accel World. They share series author and universe (although, anime wise neither have intersected yet).

Black Rune July 9th, 2015 23:05

Going ti suggest two anime series both written by Lynn Okamoto, but are different even if are pretty similar.
"Elfen Lied" - I would call this one a psycho-horror anime, it is pretty gory. Only 13 ep. and the soundtrack is very good. Likable characters.

"Gokukoku no Brynhildr"(Brynhildr in the Darkness) - 13 ep. sci-fi/mystery, softer than Elfen Lied, but it is still good. Likable characters.

And while I am on a horror page, one cannot miss "Mirai Nikki"(The Future Diary)
26 ep. psycho-triller/horror/supernatural
The famous psycho Gasai Yuno, main character in the anime and the story kept me watching it. They edited in some childish scenes which is totally unnecessary, but overall it is worth a watch. Soundtrack is pretty good also.

I also give thumbs up for "Psycho-Pass", for the second season also. A good psycho-triller. Society where the state of mind can be measured, also a crime coefficient can be measured and the people are hold on a short leash. The mere bad thoughts or over excitement can trigger the crime coefficient to go up resulting a need for therapy, that is imprisonment, or even death by the hands of a special police force. No one is safe and there is a deeper mystery that is in the background.

Also, a very good psycho-triller Zankyou no Terror (Terror in Resonance), only 11 ep. and it is one of the best anime I watched. Pretty good story line, human experimentation, revenge.

And this one cannot go without the mention "MONSTER". For me it is the best psycho-thriller I watched, it is slow paced a bit but the story and all the overlapping of events and side stories are phenomenal and well though out. There are 74 ep. And for this one it is needed, if not more. It has complex character personalities. Simply the best anime I watched and all the rest seems mediocre after this one. I did not even watch an anime after I finished this one few months ago. A big 10/10

It's not like I did not recommend Knights of Sidonia before. Shame on you of not watching it yet. I just started season 2 and it is shaping up to be great. There is invasion of the body snatchers, intrigue and murder! The latter was quite unexpected and brutal. It also helps the annoying japanese stuff is kept down to a minimum.

I love the art and sound design. It seems they also have polished it over last season. Especially the sound effects, though that may be because I used headphones for a couple of episodes which I'm not used to (only for music).

ps: I wouldnt mind to use the tv series thread for anime too.

JDR13 July 10th, 2015 11:45

I used to like Anime as a kid, but I can't get into it anymore.

I tried watching Attack on Titan earlier this year after seeing a lot of people talk about it, and I actually made it to the 8th episode before losing interest. Like most Anime, it was just too weird and nonsensical for me.

DArtagnan July 10th, 2015 11:54

I've tried at least three times to get through Akira, and I just can't pull it off.

I did like Ghost in the Machine, though, but I can't claim it was super entertaining or anything.

Stop watching overhyped stuff!
Especially ongoing shows that put the spectacle in first few episodes then fall into abyss of boredom.

Anime hype works like with games, more hype, more chance the final product is in fact mediocre. Attack on Titan was mentioned just about everywhere based on it's first few episodes.

So instead of joining the hype train on new materials, grab some older titles that finished airing, reviewed as good or great, not based on just show starting episodes.
Btw, based on anime oriented sites, 2014. was, with just a few exceptions, the worst year with too much of mediocrity and garbage.

You did and it is being on my to watch list for months, but I just don't have enough time to watch all of them that fast.
Monster mentioned in above posts, also. I still haven't touched it.
But that's why this thread is here, so ppl can pick what might be interesting and avoid averageness. Noone has enough time to watch everything, and because we lack of time, we should spend what we gave on above average materials. IMO.
That also goes for games.

I wouldn't mind watching the old Robotech series again if I could find it somewhere. I remember really liking that when I was younger, although I'm sure my opinion would probably be quite different now. :)

joxer July 10th, 2015 13:15

I disliked Robotech even as kid. It looked to me as a pale copy of Transformers.

JDR13 July 10th, 2015 13:24

Robotech launched around the same time as Tranformers over here. They were different enough that I liked both.

The Japanese Anime series that Robotech was adapted from preceded Transformers.

joxer July 10th, 2015 14:06

My problem was I watched Robotech a few years after Transformers.

azarhal July 10th, 2015 14:15

Bleh Robotech, you do know that it is 3 different Janapese anime series glued together in the worst possible way right?

Jaz July 10th, 2015 21:45

I watched Grendizer when I was a kid.

Yeah, but it was damn cool when I was 10. :)

Black Rune August 27th, 2015 20:10

Finished today Wolfs Rain
Not a bad anime. Liked the dark vibe in it. The story was fine and interesting and the animation is well done.
It's not a must watch, but I do recommend it, since I liked it enough.

Warning, it is super depressive…

ilm August 31st, 2015 22:17

Anyone saw fairy tale ? It seems to be the best anime on netflix B with high praise on imdb but… The child content is high in this one, ugh. This is after one episode.

I'm sticking with it for now. I can stomach the idiocy, however the animation quality is very very low. In fact, it's non existing. it's just a slideshow with - if you're lucky - a moving hand or leg here and there

GothicGothicness September 2nd, 2015 15:26

Any school rumble fans here ?

It's a typical shounen (aimed at a young male audience) Anime series in the vein of Naruto, One Piece, Hunter x Hunter, Bleach and Dragon Ball, if you know any of them. I love the like.
They are all based on kids or teenagers getting stronger over time and fighting, which can be extremely thrilling, similar to sports animes. But if you are looking for something more mature, it's the wrong sub-genre. *)

I watched a couple dozen episodes of Fairy Tail when it first came out and it was good spirited fun, but after a while I switched to the Manga. Animes based on long Manga series often have a lot of filler episodes because their release schedule is usually faster than the Mangas they are based on, but it's fairly easy to avoid those.


*) On exception I can think of that looked similarly wacky but had very strong themes and was overall just very good is the whole story of Rurouni Kenshin. A good order would be 1. anime series up to episode 62, 2. Trust & Betrayal OVA, 3. manga starting at chapter 152.

Black Rune September 14th, 2015 20:26

These last two weeks, I had some more spare time, which led me to go Anime overdose. Well, something like that.

I did quite enjoy this good mystery crime solving anime series, with nice drawing art and good story. The title is Gosick

Jumped on the next one. Liked this one too. A Sci-fi/romance/drama/comedy. I rarely watch dose kind of story lines, but this one I did like. The art style is gorgeous, it was really fun to watch Plastic Memories.

Next… 5 Centimeters Per Second
This one is a must watch if you haven't already. It has the one of the best and beautiful drawing art style in a anime I have ever seen. Very delicate.

Next… Children Who Chase Lost Voices aka. Journey to Agartha. Splendid art style, very beautiful.

And the next… The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Finally watched this one. It was on my list for a long time.
This one I liked as well.

Anyone else watched these? Did you like them?

So, yeah. That is actually a lot of anime I watched lately…should I be worried? :)

Galaad September 15th, 2015 03:25

Guess I'll throw in a few recommandations myself…. I'll try to make the list not too lengthy. Some of these are among my favorites, others less so but they're all good ones that should cover a variety of taste :).

- Action
Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku Hen
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=73

A classic, one of my favorite :)

Seirei No Moribito
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl…anime&aid=4403

Decent amount of action, but there is quite a bit of character development as well. Has a bit of fantasy, but fairly limited. Some of the best fight scenes (spear fights mainly) out there. Has a vibe that reminds me a lot of Ghibli studio's works.


Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl…anime&aid=6107

Follows the story of two brothers who broke the taboo of attempted to resurrect their dead mother through Alchemy as kids without truly knowing the price of such a thing. Lots of magic like powers I guess, and quite a bit of action.


Black Lagoon, Second Barrage, Roberta's blood trail
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl…anime&aid=3395

Little to no fantasy, dark mood and lots of action. Follows the adventures of a bored salary man who ends up with a kind of mercenary company who operate on an island ruled by mafia and such.


Read or Die (tv series & OVA)
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=105

Spies / Special agents with interesting special powers :)


Full Metal Panic & Full Metal Panic Fumoffu
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=17
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=959

One is an action packed series and the other is a commedy based on the former but both are pretty good. (Well I watched that many years ago tho..but I recall it to be!)



There's a ton of other good action series, old and new I guess…
Here's also a few recommandation for shows that aren't action series but are pretty good each in their own genre.


Stein's Gate
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl…anime&aid=7729

Time travellers, Conspiracy and Microwaves.


Spice and Wolf (1&2)
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl…anime&aid=5406

Follows the adventures of a merchant who ends up with a wolf spirit as a traveling companion.


Nodame Cantabile
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl…anime&aid=4691

Humour and slice of life… centers around music university students. No action at all here, be warned. Just interesting characters, dialogue and what not.


Sakamichi no Apollon: Kids on the Slope
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl…anime&aid=8870

The life of a few kids in Japan of the 1960s.
Again no action there, but really touching.

Welcome to the N.H.K.
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl…anime&aid=4121

a bit strange but worth checking out heh.

Genshiken
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl…anime&aid=1783
Otakus, requires a certain knowledge of that ''culture'' to fully enjoy I guess.


Clannad & Clannad Afterstory
Should make you laugh and will likely make you cry as well heh.


There's a ton of other great series… Hajime no Ippo, Dennou Coil, Tiger & Bunny, Anohana, Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Zero, Cowboy Bebop, Hunter X Hunter, Mushi-shi, Gintama, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, Rurouni Kenshin, Attack on Titan, Log Horizon…

But the list would go on for far too long =)

Cronis September 18th, 2015 02:52

I'm in the middle of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Having seen Fullmetal Alchemist the earlier anime, I was at first disappointed this newer version seemed to be just rehashing it. But as I got deeper in the storyline changed and now I'm enjoying the newer version much more then the older one. I'm constantly amazed at how the Japanese can juxtapose the whimsically silly with the utterly horrific. If you enjoy anime I can totally endorse Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

luj1 September 18th, 2015 03:54

No one mentioned Basilisk?

When does Brotherhood starts to improve? I saw the first 5 episodes and they looked the same as the original so didn't continue.

Cronis September 18th, 2015 18:23

I would say you probably hit the cut off as to when the storyline really starts to deviate from the original series. What I did notice is in the beginning, they tended to condense the storylines from the original and then around episode 8 or 9 they started to change. You probably stopped right before they started to change.

azarhal September 18th, 2015 18:39

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is supposed to be a proper anime version of the manga, the old anime took many liberties with the storyline.

I haven't read the manga so I can't say if that is true or not.

Galaad September 18th, 2015 22:53

Can't recall on top of my head, but I do remember dropping it at first because it seemed to be the same and then when I picked it up again and continued realized it was quite a bit better =)

Black Rune January 3rd, 2016 21:01

Anime vs Reality
It was fun to watch.

Black Rune February 15th, 2016 23:13

Mushishi
A truly fantastic anime. Every episode is stand-alone, and every episode brings a great story. It has nice animation and artstyle, followed by a magical soundtrack and ambiance,also good voice acting.
One of the better anime I've seen, and since I like it a lot, it is easily a 9/10.
Now I am looking forward to Mushishi Zoku Shou.

joxer March 18th, 2016 16:16

One of these days I'll move my posts from tv series thread here…
If only I wasn't too lazy.

Gamebreaking news is that the most unique manga Ajin was filmed into anime 13ep tv series and movie trilogy (same content so it's on viewer to pick what to watch). Currently is being aired in Japan (the first movie and a bunch of episodes).

The interesting part is who did it: Netflix!
The same Netflix is bringing it worldwide as Netflix Original in a month from now:
https://www.netflix.com/hr/title/80043576

What's it about and why did I say it's most original?
The story starts with a random kid who's totally opposite of Spielberg's yucky superchildren in every single way. Not only that, we're looking into a character that rarely exists in the movies/series industry and especially in manga/anime - cold and emotions impaired possibly sociopath or highly functional autist (asperger syndrome).

The world discovered that immortals exist. People who upon death completely regenerate. But unlike Hollywood movie heroes or Hollywood tv series villains, in Ajin immortals are being hunt by governments in order to die thousand deaths for fiscal interests. You need an effective assassin? New drugs test subject? Organ donor who basically provides an endless amount of those? Just imagine the possibilities! Catch an immortal and you got yourself billions guaranteed.

Of course our psycho kid not aware of what he is gets hit by a truck and it's discovered he's one of those immortals as he regenerates. The chase begins with no hint where the story will go and how will it end. Especially where the main protagonist's reactions are unpredictable at best.

Except the unique story and characters, expect lots of blood and gore. Here's an example pic from manga:

http://i57.tinypic.com/vzy743.jpg


-

IMO this will be an insant classic so don't miss it on Netflix 12th of April (and most probably on sites specialized for anime for example Crunchyroll).

There is only one possible problem I see there and it's the current state of manga which is still ongoing. Seven volumes were released so far, the eighth one is expected next month. There is no info if 8th volume will be the end or the story will still continue to roll.
While buyable almost everywhere, those interested in english translation can grab manga directly from the licensed publisher (vertical inc):
http://www.vertical-inc.com/books/ajin_demi-human.html

joxer March 22nd, 2016 21:16

No budge?

Well maybe the currently airing one helps.
It's Erased and is being aired worldwide.

Quote:

Satoru is a 29-year-old aspiring manga artist who works part time as a pizza delivery man. That part of his life is as normal as can be, yet he discovers he also has a supernatural power. Sometimes, without warning, he will find himself a few minutes in the past, at a point in time where he will be able to save the life of someone in his vicinity. While he finds the power a nuisance, he always does his best during one of these “revivals” to figure out who is in danger and how to save them. The show is still airing,

But, when his mother is killed and he is being hunted as the sole suspect, he finds himself sent not a few minutes into the past but rather 18 years back to the world of 1988. Now, a 29-year-old man in a 10-year-old’s body, he comes to believe that the key to saving his mother is to first save Kayo, a young friendless girl destined to be abducted and murdered in the days to come.
So far 10 episodes were aired (11 in fact depending on your location and streaming site) and you can watch all of them. 12th episode will be the final one.

Generally it's available on Crunchyroll worldwide:
http://www.crunchyroll.com/erased

Depending on your location it may still happen Crunchyroll is not allowed to stream to your area or you simply hate that site, but don't worry, in that case your options are:
Daisuki (worldwide offers english, spanish and russians subtitles) - http://www.daisuki.net/us/en/anime/detail.ERASED.html
Funimation (US only) - http://www.funimation.com/shows/erased/home
AnimeLab (AU and NZ only) - https://www.animelab.com/shows/erased

All these sites and streams on them are legal! If you're not a subscriber you can still watch everything on these sites for free but prepare to endure an advertisment or two.

Me? I just cannot wait to see how it ends.

Is it really that good? Dunno. But the vote on Kotaku, although the show is still ongoing, says it's the best anime of winter 2016:
http://tay.kinja.com/poll-the-best-a…016-1759605243
20% people voted for it, while second placed Gate took "only" 10%.

azarhal March 22nd, 2016 21:26

You are kinda amusing joxer, the Winter anime season is almost over (both ERASED and Ajin are good picks though). You should be checking was is coming for the Spring season…that start in less than 2 weeks.

joxer March 22nd, 2016 21:37

Sorry, but it just doesn't work that way with me.
I don't have enough time nor nerves to watch every single (too often!) crap pilot episode. Instead, I leave it to "suckers" (;)) so they filter it all out and bring up just a couple of very good titles after a while. Then I check those. When I get time…

In my case, spring shows will have to wait till summer.
There is a new promising mystery, suspense, thriller, horror, sci-fi crazyness around the corner? Right. It won't escape anywhere and I'll watch it if it turns out to be good and not an overhyped garbage or yet another soap opera con attempt.

But since we're here… Any tips from you?
Not on upcoming stuff. On existing finished or currently ongoing anime.

azarhal March 22nd, 2016 23:00

From the winter season? Ajin and ERASED are the best stuff I'm watching. The rest is rather generic (Gundam will always be Gundam).

Active Raid is deliciously campy though and full of sci-fi mecha crazyness, but scene direction is kinda hit or miss depending on the episode. It is also split-cour (i.e. 24 episodes but the other half will play this summer, which piss me off because we are just done with the introduction of character and starting the real plot).

Older stuff not mentioned in here that has mystery suspense, thriller, horror, sci-fi crazyness themes and are pretty good: UN-GO (detective story with some supernatural elements) and Shin Sekai Yori (mystery/horror/supernatural/sci-fi coming of age story).
