Steins;Gate will always be my #1
Legend of The Galactic Heroes
Mushishi
Odd Taxi
Steins;Gate
Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex (seasons 1 & 2)
Serial Experiments Lain, Perfect Blue and Ghost in the Shell (Original Movie)
Love all 3 of these. Phenomenal list
Shinsekai Yori
Totally underrated show
More like underwatched, a score of 8.30 in MAL is more than fair in my opinion, since it also happens to be quite divisibe.
- Cowboy Bebop (Cool, classic, phenomenal and diverse soundtrack, well told story.) 24 eps
- Samurai Champloo (Same director as Bebop, great characters, killer hip hop soundtrack, not a single bad episode.) 24 eps
- Neon Genesis Evangelion (Gripping story, extremely unique and influential, weird and edgy ending(s)) 24 eps
- FLCL (Superficially crazy but with layers of depth. Great soundtrack by the Pillows. Top notch animation throughout. Totally unique.) 6 eps
- Redline (Great characters, top notch animation, fun story and setting. A cult classic.) movie
- Akira (One of the greatest animated movies of all time. Cool cyberpunk setting with an epic ending.) movie
- Death Note (Gripping detective and antihero story about supernatural murder powers and justice.) 37 eps
- Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Great characters, interesting story, lots of cool episodes) 52 eps
- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Epic combining robot adventure of a grand scale. Great characters and animation.) 27 eps
- Trigun 1998 (Great cast of characters in an interesting world. Awesome soundtrack.) 26 eps
- Macross Do You Remember Love (A classic robot anime at its best!) movie
- Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro (Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko, Goemon and Zenigata in a film by Miyazaki.) movie
- Paranoia Agent (One of the great directors, Satoshi Kon, with a twisting and turning thriller series.) 13 eps
- Kaiba (A strange and complex transhumanist story in a cute child-like art style.) 10 eps.
Didn’t expect to see Kaiba around here, it definitely should be more discussed, same for Shiki.
I really like it. Admittedly it falls apart a bit towards the ending…
Assuming you are talking about Kaiba, yeah… The final episodes butchered a bit of the atmosphere that was built initially.
Cowboy Bebop is timeless.
Fate Stay Night: UBW and other Fate series.
Currently enjoying Jujutsu Kaisen.
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica is absolute best.
Spice and Wolf, No game no life, Baccano, Chihayafuru, Amagi Briliant Park, Ore Monogatari, or even Kakegurui, Black Lagoon, Jormungand, Gurren Lagann for series.
Ghost in the Shell for movies (Madoka also is in a movie form). I haven’t seen many movies, Spirited Away was OK, but not really for me.
I used to like Bakemonogatari, but after the years I’m not sure I would enjoy anything after Senjougahara’s arc. Angel Beats was also fun, but in a silly way. Aho girl is pure silliness.
I used to like Bakemonogatari, but after the years I’m not sure I would enjoy anything after Senjougahara’s arc.
Koimonogatari is absolute top. It has all of the good things without being problematic.
There are so many sequals that I lost track.
But I meant specifically the first season - there was more than one little girl in very unsettling situations. Yikes.
Even the teeth brushing wasn’t as bad as the first season.
Yes, and there are also fucked up moments in the later seasons too, it had really soured my opinion on the series.
Like I had 0 issues with Hanekawa, even the cat version was cool, but Hachikuji and specially Sengoku was way too much.
I dropped it around Hanamonogatari, but I stopped watching anime altogether, so I will most likely not continue the series.
It actually gets somewhat better later on, the most problematic part was Onimonogatari.
Do you mean Owari? Just making sure, since I can’t find Oni.
I just wanted more Senjougahara. She was the only reason I started watching in the first place, loved her dialogues with Koyomi, and couldn’t wait to get more of her screen time.
Then she cut her hair, and I dunno, she wasn’t the same.
Oni is part of the Second Season, it basically goes Neko (White) - Kabuki - Otori - Oni - Koi with Hana floating around separately due to missed deadlines.
Owari is pretty good, if you like Senjougahara, you would really enjoy Hitagi Rendezvous arc. And she also has short but cool appearances in other arcs too.
You haven’t seen anime if you think anything in monogatari was bad.
Come on, man. You’re really off your game today. How are you ever going to be a good troll if you can’t even lay out good bait?
I always remember Angel Beats for how much it made me laugh, because besides Yuzuru’s train arc, I never really picked up the drama of the series, and the finale was rather forgettable for me.
It was one of the first anime for me, so it really surprised me, and I followed everything.
But yeah, the gang was really fun, and I will always remember some of their gags.
Baccano and Jormungand are sheer story telling perfection.
I love rewarching Jormungand, Koko is amazing, and the whole story flows nicely.
Baccano I never rewatched, still scarred by that crying kid, I don’t even know if it was the OVA or the first season, but I don’t dare to find out. Amazing anime, but one-time only.
Wow didn’t expect to see Amagi Brilliant Park here haha. It’s not one of my favourites but, to say it weirdly, it’s an easily rememberable show :O
I’m also slated for a rewatch of the monogatari series, I stopped watching after the weird creepy girl arc (Ougi ?), even though Bakemonogatari is one of my favourites, though I’m as well not sure how much I will like in after all this time.And I have yet to watch Madoka Magica but it’s planned, for someday.
Have 4 hours ready when trying to watch Madoka. If after the first hour you won’t be into it, just drop it - but endure the first hour.
If you’ll like it, you will want to see it all. It’s 12 episodes (or 2 2hr movies), so it’s manageable.
Amagi was on the funny and relaxing side, kinda like Chihayafuru, only more fan-servicey.
Yeah I will watch it at some point, sadly I have been spoiled that there is a plot twist and ofwaht nature so I won’t get a big reveal.
I’m keep it on my to watch list for a rainy day.To be honest, I rewatch it every now and then, and it’s still powerful, and it honestly makes me emotional every time. Almost no other piece of media has that effect on me. Even though I remember it vividly, it’s still amazing, and doesn’t lose it’s impact.
So don’t worry about spoilers, the plot is great, but only one part of the experience. Soundtrack is absolutely fantastic, and visuals are on their own league (it’s Shaft, and a very specific style). Even if you know the plot, and haven’t seen it, I can basically guarantee that it will suck you in, and the pacing will make sure you won’t be bored.
10/10, I need to watch it again
Outlaw Star, FLCL
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is really good.
FLCL is good but weird.
Monogatari is an absolute disaster, but also really good. The author is at the same time incredibly talented and also constantly betrays his removed.
Nausicaa Manga also by Hayao Miyazaki, expands on the movie immensely and is much better for that reason.
Manga is good, but I disliked its ending.
Personally, I loved it. It just made sense with the themes of story and the world itself. But, I can see why someone could dislike it.
Violet Evergarden, A Place Further than the Universe, and Your Lie in April
Gurren Lagaan
Gintama and Nichijou.
Gintama is a riot. “Zura janai, Katsura da.” IYKYK.
Golden Boy!
I really liked Grimgar and wish it would get more seasons someday. It’s in a sort of Isekai fantasy setting, but the way they go about making every part of that situation seem realistic and horrible is great. From having no food or money to how horrible it actually is to have to stab something to death felt like a really fresh take on the genre at the time. Just be warned that you’ll have to pick up the light novels to continue the story. It’s no berserk '97 cliff hanger, but you definitely want to know what’s up with the world and why they’re even there which isn’t covered in the anime.
Also, on topic, berserk '97.
Same, I recently talked about Grimgar to a friend recently.
From what I just checked, the show didn’t very well in Japan and one of the companies that worked on it went under. We probably won’t every see a direct continuation at this point I believe sadly.But apparently the light novel is going pretty strong currently sitting at 19 volumes, so if the world really interests you, you could read that.
Code Geass if you want to watch something somewhat similar to Death Note.
