    Anime geeks, I need your help

    Ever since my first anime-like Xenosaga 3, Ive been kinda addicted to anime and the kind. Black friday is comming and its going to be at best buy. Im planning on buying **** with friends. Probably another laptop (I have 2 laptops stearing at me.)

    Need some help guys. Ive been planning on buying some anime for some years now, but everytime I look at the shelves, I come out with nothing. Primarily because I dont want to spend 29+ and find out I dont enjoy it. For some reason, I dont enjoy action action anime as much as comedy and cheesy corny love crap.

    The only anime I really enjoy is Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan and Ive watched millions of times and still enjoy it. Im looking for anime just like it equally enjoyable. And is Shana really worth it? Ive seen it in Taiwan all in Japanese/Chinese, but it really seemed more dramatic than action packed.

    Suggestions?

        hey a completely random anime might be good for you

        jungle wa itsumo hale nochi guu is an amazing one, and that is coming from someone who could stand watching a whole series of anime only for this and death note.

          Pretty sure you'd be into Shakugan no Shana, so go check it out. 3rd season of it just started airing or whatever (haven't checked it out yet though).

          Since you like Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan so much, I'm going to go ahead and assume you're into comedy, slice-of-life, school-life animes. Go check out any of the following if that's the case:

          - Minami-Ke
          - Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
          - Maria Holic
          - Seto no Hanayome
          - School Rumble
          - Azumanga Daioh

          did you think I was going to list Lucky Star

                Second that.

                And if you like that, Kimi no Todoke would probably be good too (though it isn't out, outside of japan, and is still running >_>

                I also second Mr. Giggles' List:

                Oh, also, To Aru Majutsu no Index (Also not out in NA/EU yet). Magic and Espers and a dood that can nullify all that with his hand.

                You MIGHT like the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya too, it's pretty popular anyhow.

                Azumanga Daioh is usually a good bet, it's amusing and cute.

                DBZ is a mainstay for action junkies, and you can get 30+ eps (a whole season) for a good price....I just hope you watch it dubbed and don't need captioning (Japanese audio is atrocious, and the english dub has no captioning/subs).

                    I second Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Minami-Ke (only season 1, the other two seem to be garbage).

                    I discredit ToraDora (First two episodes were good, but then it got predictable and whiny), Haruhi (first season was alright, but nothing great), and School Rumble (The entire show was a tease, and weakly summed itself up in the third "season").

                    I'm also going to add in Higurashi or Baccano! if you're a fan of the whole blood/gore scene.


                    Oh, and if you want, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was an amazing animu movie, much to my (pleasant) surprise.

                      Re: Anime geeks, I need your help

                      Taking a lot of these into consideration. I really want to watch Zero no Tsukaima. Watched it in Japanese with Chinese subtitles and loved it. Can't find this right now unless I buy online, but thats not the point

                      I would buy Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya if it wasn't like 40-50 bux

                      Since Im planning on buying in best buy during black friday (if I decide to wait from 10 to 5AM. OMG who thinks up this stuff?), its the matter of if I can find it. But I will write all of these down. If you think of anymore... post

                      Note: Im not really into Gore/Blood. Im ok with action but one important fact, Im extremely into comedy and it seemed that comedy in anime is in the corny love animes....

                      Edit: Thx to Popular Japnaese Culture that I took last semester which was pretty much about anime, Im actually into it. Never thought I would.

                          Japanese Pop Culture class.... wtf?
                          I swear, if we had that at our school, I'd rage every time I saw the class, or the students in it.

                          Anyways, I'd highly recommend Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei or Minami-Ke to you if you like comedies then. SZS is probably the funnier of the two, but Minami-Ke grew on me the more I thought about it.

                              Shana is okay. Only saw S1.
                              Zero no Tsukaima is awful except for the season finale which is always about mages getting their **** ruined by modern technology.
                              Inuyasha is awful and gets worse until the series ends.
                              ToraDora is pretty good in the beginning and then kinda becomes average by the end.
                              Index is alright but holy **** they did not do their science research

                              Now keep in mind I don't really like corny rom-com anime at all so my ratings for a bunch of these above shows are biased.

                              I forgot to mention Kannagi which isn't very good but does have the benefit of being the subject of some of the most amazing puns I've ever heard.

                              And here's the mentioned stuff that doesn't fit BOTH romance and comedy but are pretty awesome anyway at just one of them. Worth checking out.

                              Spice and Wolf which is this odd mix of economics 101 and romance but is pretty ballin~
                              SZS isn't corny love. It isn't slice of life either. It's amazing, though. Give it a try. I recommend it highly. Funny as hell.
                              Haruhi S1 is great in chronological order and maybe a bit better in airing order. S2 is pretty good if you cut out 7 of the episodes. Guess which ones.
                              Clannad only exists to make you cry like a little bitch ;_; Not particularly funny.
                              The Girl Who Lept Through Time is awesome too.
                              I make a point of not associating with people who dislike Azumanga Daioh. Or Yotsubato!!
