Re: Anime geeks, I need your help

SnS1 is pretty solid. I think I should read the manga. It looks cool and stuffs.
Also, I think I saw some girl in a h-manga who looked like Shana but with glasses.

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.

Its an awsome class, but no one did that well in that class. The class was hard because the answers had to be extremely close to the exact words that the professor says in lecture or else you get it wrong. Also, a lot of the content is very specific and theres a **** load of content. I find myself writing at least 2 pages front and back of notes and thats copying the power point. But the class has taught me so much about anime and life that its unbelieavable. I thought we would just watch anime and talk about it, instead, we are going through information about how close anime can be to real life and how it can protray Japanese modern society. Plus, it was a Tier 2 Humanities class and I needed to fill it up. HAHA my professor nor any of the TAs were Japanese. They were all Americans.

Just found out that Black friday is next week. Looks like I can do some research before pissing away a lot of money. Keep going with the suggestions though.

That is, by far, one of the stranger things I've heard in my life.

Good luck on your animu quest.

Re: Anime geeks, I need your help

Nice list, Im going to write some of these down... I guess Ive seen some of these around in stores and in Best buy, but ver skeptical about them since Im a anime noob. Plus, Everything is like 20-50$.

Re: Anime geeks, I need your help

Everyone here is just kind of ignoring this guys preferences and posting awesome anime that he might not necessarily enjoy.

Pirate the first three eps of whatever, and if you like it go buy it. No reason to buy a Baccano DVD and watch it for exactly 5 minutes before wait this isn't funny or romantic oh god that guy just had his face ground against the train tracks EJECT EJECT D:

ps lmfao air gear

Re: Anime geeks, I need your help

I'm not much help since you dont really like "action action anime". I love action action!

Not helpful post +1

(Insert how if I could be in an anime, I'd be in Paranoia Agent so I could skate around clubbing people with a golden bat )

I didn't say I dont like action anime, I just perfer comedy. Action comedy = treasure

Went to best buy. I have shana, and I also bought maburaho (Anyone have any opinions about this?). A friend said its good. I guess we will see. Hey guys.... end cost... 81$.

I can't find Zero No Tsukaima Anywhere and I really want to see this in a form I can understand other than Chinese/Japanese. Cant find bakemonogatari and I heard is decent. Found Gunslinger Girl, Girl leapt through time and some others. But most are like 40 some bux. Found a couple of other thins to thats on that massive list on page 1... but I think Ill spend 81 Bux first. What can I say? Im a collector.

I also saw one called witchblade. I think thats what its called... witch something.... Hows that.

Re: Anime geeks, I need your help

Zero No Tsukaima's a good show.

As far as comedies go, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor is of course my favorite, but you won't be finding that in any Best Buy most likely. It's my favorite anime ever and is incredibly endearing, so if you can find it, I highly recommend picking it up.

On the COMPLETELY other end of the spectrum, I'll just recommend Now and Then Here and There. One of the best shows I've ever seen, despite how depressing and horrifying it can be. It's only thirteen episodes, too, so it won't break the bank. Just throwing that out there if you want a break from the lighthearted comedies.

Re: Anime geeks, I need your help

Badass action+gut-wrenching comedy= Hajime no Ippo. You can't like anime and not enjoy this anime. It's just not possible.

[Miccool]

Re: Anime geeks, I need your help

It all depends on personal taste. I wouldn't recommend buying a whole bunch of random anime that ppl suggest and end up not liking most of them. Unless you're very optimistic and enjoy a lot of things...

Otherwise I suggest:
Kanon 2006
Toradora
Honey and Clover
Nodame Cantabile
True Tears
Ouran Highschool host club
Full metal panic!? Fumoffu
Clannad
Bakemonogatari
Air
The girl who leapt through time
