Good anime shows?

Subaku No Gaara 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 24 18:22 -
Does anyone know any good anime shows out there? Besides the obvious ones that everyone seems to love. If so please describe it.
Meaning, Naruto, Bleach, Black Cat, etc. If its popular, i don't wanna hear about it.

D-Gray Man- You've probably heard of this one, it's about 'exorcists' and akuma, actually kinda interesting
Gantz-when you die you get trapped in this video game, you carry out your normal lives, until it beams you back to the game room, where youget sent on missions to kill 'aliens' EXTREMELY Gorey for an anime, a little bit of X areas, not for the faint of heart :P
Wolf's Rain- Wolf's who put the illusion of being human on them and search for paradise
Shingetsutan Tsukihime(or something like that) a show about Vampires :D
Trinity Blood- More vmpires!
Chrno Crusade- A nun excorcisty thing with demons, the main character is ademon (Ironic :D)
Hellsing- Vampires and ghouls, yay
Zombie Loan- 2 zombies who carry out orders that keep them alive, both of their hands are cut off and attached to the other person, when they switch hands back to their trues owners they can use their weapons, a katana and a handgun
Fate Stay Night- Pretty cool, a little confusing, not much, basically the mythical legends of our times are summoned in different forms and controlled by their masters under names (EX: Hercules and others like him)
Subaku No Gaara 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 24 18:33 -
Well i've heard and loved Wolf's Rain. Trinity blood is also pretty good. Reading that one now. But the other ones i haven't heard of. Are there manags for them?

Gantz manga is better than the anime, or atleast its still continuing.
Tsukihime anime sucks monkey nuts. Play the game or read the manga if you can find em.
Speed Grapher
Read or Die OVA - TV is good too but it's not as good as the original
Neo Ranga - its interesting to say the least
Ergo Proxy -
Flag - lets just call it a war documentary
The Twelve Kingdoms - Just keep watching until episode 8 atleast. People have a universal tendency to drop it before it even gets started.
Haibane Renmei
FLCL - Its a trip
Otogi Zoshi
Serial Experiments Lain
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu - Remember all those bits of funny in the original series. Imagine the whole show like that.
Gilgamesh

Check my lists?
Subaku No Gaara 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 25 16:43 -
Haha. Flcl is great. I haven't much about most of those. I only know about Flcl. Are those all like comedy genred anime?
silent killer 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 25 20:12 -
Just Fumoffu is a real comedy. Its brilliant slapstick. The rest are pretty serious business

Decent comedic anime:
Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi
Genshiken
Excel Saga - This is hardcore otaku stuff. Even for them its still going at about 1000 miles an hour.
Martian Successor Nadesico
Crayon Shin-chan - The dub anyway
Devious Phenomenon 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 25 23:36 -
Blade of the Immortal
.Hack series
Afro Samurai
Air Gear- Kind of rollerblading, but with a bit of fighting, and motors, :P
Blood+
Utawarerumono- War series I suppose, with fantasy and evolution touches(evolution as in the theory not like pokemonn -_-)
Devil May Cry
DNAngel
Claymore
Elemental Gallade
Ghost in the Shell- I haven't finished this, but everyone who's seen it says it's entirely awesome

I didn't describe most cuz I'm in a lazy mood, sorry

I'm tempted to recommend a certain anime about pirates that Ankoku's failed to watch already. Even though its incredibly popular.

Wait... wait... I got this... Wait for it... oh I got it. Animal Treasure Island, right, right?
silent killer 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 26 22:26 -
Yeah. That's exactly right. I wasn't thinking of One Pi... I mean Black Lagoon.

Okay, seriously. I just watched Freedom. Man, that anime rocks. Too bad its $40 dollars a disc. Hopefully the price comes down as a box set.

Deleted 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 28 0:56 -
Freedom, you mean the ramen commercial? :P

Huh... I thought the Flame of Recca anime was kinda lacking compared to the manga to be honest. And Pretear was kinda a joke to me.

The other day I was trying to see what the big deal was about Captain Tylor. Dang, those DVDs are impossible to find though and thus I don't think I'll ever see what the big deal was.

silent killer 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 28 2:57 -
Yeah, that one. Its freakin cool for seven episodes.

I've always wanted to see Captain Tylor but it is notoriously hard to find.

even though they differ in significant parts from the manga, i still recommend "Berserk" and "Trigun". they are good animes series on their own. or were, as they are finished already.
Subaku No Gaara 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 29 2:58 -
Ok, saying im not manly isn't cool. You don't even knowbut thanks for all your input guys. I'll be sure to check out a...most of them. I have seen quite a few of these series though and i agree with most of you on whether or not there good. Like trigun was an amazing series.

I was kidding and I meant no offense. :P That show is just too manly that it cannot be described in words. I swear, by the time the credits were rolling on the 15th episode I felt the hot manly tears rolling down my face.
Subaku No Gaara 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 29 4:08 -
Haha. Black Lagoon? Is that the one you meant or another one?
Deleted user
Deleted 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 29 4:23 -
No, it was Black Lagoon. Pretty awesome show. Pretty awesome... And manly.

I think the only thing that can be more manly would be if they made an anime with Freddie Mercury riding a horse around. Oh wait nevermind.
Subaku No Gaara 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 29 4:26 -
Alright. Im definitly checking that one out right now.
silent killer 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 29 8:00 -
I completely forgot about Cromartie High.
mightyhobbes 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 30 1:37 -
I think he was talking about one piece.. the pirate one. Supposedly the subtitled one is good.
sorry if these are the popular ones of which you speak

-samurai champloo
-elfen lied - pretty explicit, but a really good story
-cowboy bebop
-the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya - the episodes are in a weird order, but that makes it more interesting.. it kind of reminded me of the movie, the nines, where the guy turned out to be God in the end.. which is pretty much the basis of the story.. and it isn't that serious
-death note was pretty interesting
-berserk was really good, but i think it was used as an advertisement for the manga, so you're left at the end really confused and wondering if that's really the end.. it's really corny tho
Subaku No Gaara 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 30 3:43 -
Samurai Champloo, Death Note and Cowboy Bebop i have seen and loved. Death Note was only good till the 25th episode in my opinion. THe episode where L dies. After that, it all goes down hill.

I'm not really that upset since I've already watched those shows but those are spoilers for Haruhi Suzumiya and Death Note. If I were in the middle of watching them or might be thinking of watching them, I might be just a little be sad to have it ruined it for me. I mean you wouldn't go around the streets saying SOYLENT GREEN IS ______! Would you? Well maybe for Soylent Green I would but still...
Subaku No Gaara 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 30 5:01 -
Soylent Green? Is that an anime or something? I've never ehard of that. Why do you have a picture of Freddy?!

I really liked Boogiepop Phantom. It's terribly confusing, but that's the way I like my anime. Atleast it was until I read a wiki, and then I read the books which it is partially based on. I say partially because its not so much retelling whats in the books as it is telling a different side of the story. It all starts to make sense until Boogiepop at Dawn, but if you're still following along by then, you're not going to stop reading.

Tsukikage Ran- another fairly underwatched sereis that deserves a look. More comedy than anything else.
Jubei-chan 2 - only saw the first four episodes of the first series, but based on that alone I watched the this and thought it wasn't as comedic, but that does't necessarily make it a bad thing.
CRT 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 31 18:40 -
Just a list of what I love:

Black Lagoon
Excel Saga
FLCL
Full Metal Panic (All 3 Versions, it's actually quite interesting. Season 1 is a perfect mixture of Action,Drama, and Comedy, the OVA is ALL Comedy, then Season 2 is all drama.)
Hellsing (original and OVA)
Martian Successor Nadesico
Samurai Champloo
Slayers
Maigo Kurai 15 years, 2 months ago at Mar 11 20:51 -
Chrono crusadae is good
but im not sure about others you may like...........
silent killer 15 years, 2 months ago at Mar 12 7:14 -
Whatever you do, skip Fate/Stay Night. The anime sucks. I'm stuck at episode 19 because I can't seem to finish it since its so bad. And the only reason I've gotten so far is because I had reached the halfway point before I could no longer bear it. Frankly the coolest thing about it is that Archer is Shirou's future-self, and the game goes further into that.

Do watch The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Now is a good a time as any since Best Buy killed the DVD retail market

Holy shiznicks. Yeah, I went to one of the Best Buy's the other day. I was a bit worried since nothing was advertised at the actual store itself but I was not disappointed. I wanna go back and pick up more things but eh...
