Re: Recommend me anime!

In my opinion Code Geass is far and away the best anime of all time.

I saw someone mention Madoka Magica

I second third fourth and millionth that suggestion.

I've only seen it all the way through I think five times. I need to watch it again.

Re: Recommend me anime!

For someone just starting and with such an open mind, you honestly have so many avenues to go off of. A fair place to start is MAL's top list

http://myanimelist.net/topanime.php

Popularity isn't always attributed to bad things. Many of the anime up there deserve recognition for one reason or another and are usually good watches for anyone starting out. After you've cleared a few you'll start to get an idea for some anime, how they work, and maybe your favourite genres that you lean towards. You'll maybe even start to branch out into some gems of their genre that are regarded in other ways, or simply flown by the general populace's heads.

I think another important thing about directing yourself towards this top list is to have at least a single other person you trust entirely to give you an idea or rundown of what most anime will entail, and why it's popular. Someone who's non-objective, who can separate their own feelings about an anime, and give you a real idea about how to progress!

It's such a neat medium and I think if you treat it with care and caress it's head gently, it'll reward you back with wondrous tales and feelings.

Alternatively Code Geass is probably a rite of passage into the anime world, whether it's considered good or not

It's not so much that I'm against watching popular anime, it's just that most of it is already in my to-watch list or I already know about it and don't want to watch it or something like that, haha. Which is why I'm looking for stuff other people have to recommend that isn't already pretty popular. Thank you though!!

Re: Recommend me anime!

if you've never watched anime before I recommend watching either Death Note or Code Geass season 1 & 2 first, and then the opposite 2nd, because those 2 are highly regarded as the best there have ever been. I would then watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for 3rd. These 3 are pretty much the fighting forces for the best.

After that imo everything from Steins;Gate, Hellsing Ultimate, kill la kill, to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and everything else starts to trickle in.

I never got why people liked Geass.
Couldn't ever get into it.

It's a one-man buildup, with one of the most conclusive and satisfying endings in anime history.

Debatable

[yo man im awesome]

Re: Recommend me anime!

Yea Code Geass is still my favorite and is still the first I thing I recommend to people.

Zankyou no Terror is a quickie I liked too, from the maker of Cowboy Bebop.

oh, oh, if you're into comedy, school rumble and daily lives of highschool boys. for school rumble, its one of the few animes out there where the english dub is actually good (frikin priceless voice actors, they did a great job choosing people for that one). also, the devil is a part timer is a good one too.
