Animes you must watch

[DocSeuss]

Are Black Lagoon and Tokko any good?

Now for the must watches, in no particular order...

Azumanga Daioh
Naruto (at least to episode 135. I dislike the show now, but it's so popular, you really should watch it)
Digimon (...need I say why?)
Bleach (of the big three animes, by my definition anyways, that were out--FMA, Naruto, and Bleach--Bleach is by far the best, though the animation ain't that great)
Last Exile
Ergo Proxy
GANTZ (um...not for some of you...)
Blue Submarine no. 6
Ghost in the Shell

Any other recommendations?

[MatrixTamer]

Eh, I'm really not much of an anime fan. The only one I pay any attention to is Digimon. I used to be into Gundam SEED, but as I don't have Cartoon Network that interest faded quickly...

[ZeroDeficit]

It was roughly the same for me except that I actually had Cartoon Network. :P

I'm surprised though that you didn't list Yu Yu Hakusho.

Animes of that general type usually get a lot of flak (Dragon Ball Z) but Yu Yu was generally received very well. It's one of the few animes that actually pulls off the tournament thing pretty damn well, and until the later episodes, the attacks are pretty interesting.

I would recommend YYH too but it's too long... after the Dark Tournament, I quit because it started to drag... but I'm still a Kurama, Youko, Hiei, Touya, and Jin fan! ^^

Gundam SEED started out good but it's an anime somebody would watch for the action and mecha fighting. The plot is so awesome but the characters are not likeable...

Umm... our genre-likings are different... do you mind seeing cute stuff? Like, I don't love overly big-eyed, bright colored, hyper animes but most of the animes I love are cute and pretty.
My top 5 favorite animes are Kaleido Star, Angelic Layer, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Azumanga Daioh.

Never heard of Black Lagoon or Tokko... I have the Lagoon Engine manga though ^^ (Yukiru Sugisaki~!)

[Destiny]

hmmm ... I seemed to love these animes ^^ if your old enough [I will mark those animes] Check them out.

Berserk [Seriously avoid this unless your 18+ or uninnocent like me]

Naruto [Just kidding! God keep it away!]

Bleach [Like Doc said ... this anime is just ... good]

.hack//Sign and the dot hack series in general [The anime is really good and nice and short but over all it is intersting. I also recomend the Manga's, the series generated from the manga's and ESPECIALY! Play the 4 video games ... if you can find them.][The video games come with movies ^^]

Full Metal Alchemist [Allow me to suggest you stay away from the Manga's as I am a mange lover ... the manga doesn't outdo the anime this time ... the anime is awsome ... mature ... and ... conflicting ^^]

Tri-gun [Another pretty fast series ... a Peaceful good guy who doesn't enjoy hurting people ... IF YOU TRY AND RP THIS WITHOUT WATHING THIS ANIME YOU HAVE FAILED! ... Vash ... Is ... sweet.] Tri-Gun was one of my first real animes I watched. It got me addicted to anime like DBZ never did ...

and just for creds ...

The original Dragon ball sucked less than all the others ^^

[DocSeuss]

I think I included Azumanga in my list, didn't I?

Yeah, I heard Berserk was good, and that Trigun was the best dub ever, besides Hellsing.

[Ross]

Ross' Top 3 animes:
1)Dragon ball Z
2)Full Metal Alchemist
3)Berserk(If you ask me I don't see why it'd be 18+ more 15-ish)

They're all so cool!

Other Anime I've seen(Not necessarily enjoyed):
Pokemon(sad),
Digimon(meh),
Naruto(meh),
Yu-Gi-Oh/GX(dum),
Yuyu Hakusho(Tis gud),
Dragon ball GT(hated),
Bleach(Tis very gud)

[Azarni]

Here's my list!

Full Metal Alchemist

GANTZ (first, watch the unedited version if uyou want ANYTHING to make sense in the anime, cause edited version is just shit)

Elfen Lied (NOTE: Don't attempt to watch this if you are squimeesh or weak-minded. Also, do not watch while eating, especially during the first episode)

Saiyuki (up until the RELOADED season, which sucked ass. Don't watched Reloaded!)

Pilot Candidate (you need to download the last episode, since it was bannded from America. It's actually not bad, just...wierd)

Gundam Wing

Outlaw Star

Kaleido Star (if you like teh cuteness)

Ranma 1/2

[DocSeuss]

XD, I am just about to watch EL ep one...

Yes, GANTZ is a brilliant show, but if you are innocent, it's not good for you...

Seriously, if the show is made by GONZO, you have to watch it. This means everyone should watch:

GANTZ
Black Cat
Last Exile
Blue Submarine No. 6
Gatekeepers 21 (ok, weak story, but the theme song is addictive...)

Crap, I forgot to stick Boogiepop Phantom (not for the little kids) and Serial Experiments Lain (not for non-smart people) on the list!

Kaleido Star - most beautiful anime I've ever seen in my life. It's about a girl with a dream of becoming the Kaleido Star, the acrobat who can make everyone smile.

Cardcaptor Sakura - this has every element of an anime: action, magic, fantasy, romance, cuteness... maybe just not sci-fi... but still! About a girl who has to collect these old magical cards, Clow Cards. If they're not properly controlled, it could bring the destruction of the world.

Angelic Layer - a new game has been released! Angelic Layer, a game of controlling a doll with your mind and battling other people's dolls in tournaments. Too cute and really really awesome!

Ouran High School Host Club - best anime to watch for lots of good laughs and seeing cute anime boys (I think it's cuter than Fruits Basket XD) The main character breaks a 1,000,000 yen vase and must work for the Host Club to pay it off.

Azumanga Daioh - #1 anime for laughs! It's a plot-less anime that is unbelievably AWESOME! XD

Fruits Basket - yes, Furuba is #2 when it comes to funny, bishie-filled anime but that doesn't mean it's not really awesome! A girl finds a family of really pretty people who have a curse - they turn into an animal of the zodiac whenever they are hugged by someone of the opposite gender. Kind of hard to do when they're so PRETTY

I My Me! Strawberry Eggs - a guy needs to pay a rent and he wants to be a teacher so why not be a teacher at the local school to pay the rent? Too bad the principal only allow females to be a teacher. The guy crossdresses, teaches at the school, and turns the school upside-down. The students learn many life facts and have lots of fun experiences from this new teacher.

Magic Knight Rayearth - three girls get sent to another world to save it and go through various adventures to become the legendary "Magic Knights". They have swords, magic, and mechas. Later do they realize that everything they were doing... was wrong.

I'll add more later ^^U

[Destiny]

Nice work Osaka-chan ^^
I read the rayearth Manga ^^ It is also good~ I have 3 books but no time to read ^^;

[Revolution]

Try Reload in Japanese, Azarni-san. It's better that way. (The voices they chose were too grating on the ears. Apparently the first studio lost the rights... Poopie.)

Rev-chan's Top Choices:

*Saiyuki
*Maburaho
*FullMetal Panic! Fumoffu (<3 Bunta-kun~)
*Yuu Yuu Hakusho (Hey, I kept up with the full series; loved it all~ Chapter Black Saga rawked soooo hard...)
*The Miyazaki Films (including, but not limitied to; Castle In The Sky, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro)
*Ranma 1/2
*.hack//SIGN (Just beautiful music, and I'm a music glutton. ._.)
*Oh My Goddess!

<3 Kyuu~

[Cleo Rania]

No Wolf's Rain? I'm Disappointed. I'll add detials later.

[Wraith]

Naruto
Last Exile
Chrono Crusade
Azamanga Daioh
Ranma 1/2
Inuyasha
Slayers(not the OVA)
Record of Loddoss War
Yuu Yuu Hakusho

[Omnimon]

Well, lets see. Obviously from my avatar, I like DBZ, but a lot of people dont. Oh well.

Dragonball Z (first anime, it was great)

Yu Yu Hakusho (enough good reasons already posted.)

Outlaw Star (One of my earlier animes I saw on cartoon network. It's cool. I find it better than Cowboy Bebob.)

Trigun (This is cool. Everybody's gotta see this series.)

Rurouni Kenshin (Great samurai anime. Samurai X was a great movie.)

Samurai Champloo (It's cool and all, but I like Kenshin better.)

Inuyasha (With such a simple plot, find and kill Naraku, it is great.)

Gundam Wing (Another of my earlier animes. It was great. The best Gundam series, in my opinion, but manga wise, my favorite is Gundam Seed Astray. It's completely different from all the other Gundam series, and I think change is good.)

Digimon (Most likely, this forum wouldn't exist without it.)

Neon Genisis Evangelion (A cool anime. For the mature viewers, though.)

Dual (A rip off of Evangelion, but a pretty good ripoff. Different plot, and all. I enjoyed it.
