Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoka episode 2 - what the hell, now I hear Pokémon music in the classroom. Specifically, the road to Viridian City in the games. LOL

How do these companies get away with this shit lol.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Hanasaku Iroha 3:
This episode felt a bit different than the previous ones. The first part of the episode felt a bit over the top, although the show was quite aware of that and drew attention to just how ridiculous it was. I enjoyed the second half of the episode more, when it started to focus more on the main cast. The insult notebook was a nice touch.

 

[GaimeGuy]

So, now that Madoka is over, I was thinking of going back and seeing what shows I might have missed over the last several years that might have been awesome.

Can anime-gaf tell me what shows from the last, say, five years are worth watching that I may have (or may not have) missed?

 

[Regulus Tera]

In the end, I had to go and listen to this a few times now. I've tried to avoid it too.

Heartcatch! is manly shit.

Five years is a really long time honestly, there are too many series from that timespan to count.

Fine, llet's start with 2006 and work our way forwards, one year at a time

I would make a thread for this if I could...

 

[Haly]

Looks more like maggot hair.

I just made the connection:

 

[Jex]

Iroha 4: TWIN DRILLS.

Wow more than just two, her hair has more drills than Gurren Lagann.

I'm pretty sure Miya from Oniisama e... has even more drills. Therefore, she's even wealthier.

Facts.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Kurenai
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (shut up ducky)
Toradora!
All the Nodame Cantabile
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Summer Wars
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (might need some background on that though)
Omae Umasou da na (the movie, not the series)
Evangelion 1.0: You are (not) alone
Evangelion 2.0: You can (not) advance
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt

Off the top of my head I'm gonna say Gurren Lagann, Panty & Stocking, Oh! Edo Rocket, FMA: Brotherhood and if you're also looking for some awesome movies then Sword of the Stranger, The Girl Who Leapt Througth Time and Summer Wars.

There's also a plethora of decent shows this season in case you wanna give those a try.

I swear at some point I had a little ol' thread set up to answer such questions. Oh yes it's here - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=414748. I've listed a hundred shows so you don't have to! Etc.

Technically it's for slightly less mainstream works but I have a section underneath which has "popular shows you might want to check out".

If we keep having decent seasons like this I'll need to throw up a new page on there at some point.

 

[Infinite Justice]

If I remember right they move like actual drills when she gets pissed, gonna have to dip into that show and gif it.

Yea the MC even gave her the nickname "Drill" because of them

I see anime wealth is directly proportional to the number of drills in your hair.

THE EVIDENCE IS IRREFUTABLE.

I'll mention Kanamemo, Chu-Bra, Working, and both seasons of Arakawa Under the Bridge since I'm sure most others won't bother.

Kure-nai, Mononoke, Trapeze, Tatami galaxy, Spice and wolf, Gurren lagann Panty and stocking (not for everyone), Bakemonogatari, Baccano, Black lagoon, Kemonozume, off the top of my head. The first 4 shows are must-sees though!

Also haven't seen but heard good things about natsume book of friends.

Actually since i didn't know this extended past 2006. (made some changes)

Some current season shows that are worth following - Hanasaku iroha, Anohana, Dororon enma-kun and to a lesser extent - C and X-men.

I was going to make a list, but it ended up being longer than I thought. So I guess the highlights for me would be: Nana, Nodame Cantabile, Moribito, Oh! Edo Rocket, Mononoke, Denno Coil, Black Lagoon, Spice and Wolf, The Tatami Galaxy, Kanon, Clannad, Angel Beats. 2007 really kicked ass.

You know, you haven't seen trapeze yet? you need to get on that shit, icarus. (assuming you haven't).

 

[Haly]

I'll leave the derivation of the formula to real physicists

 

[firehawk12]

I'll mention Kanamemo, Chu-Bra, Working, and both seasons of Arakawa Under the Bridge since I'm sure most others won't bother.

As much as I liked Chu-Bra for introducing clinical, maybe even subversive, fanservice, I can't imagine anyone wanting to watch it without any kind of self-awareness.

 

[Hellsing321]

How can you guys forget Baccano!? Best show of 2007.

 

[Jex]

Looks like we've stumbled across a solid facts, backed up by three examples.

It's unsinkable.

Everyone hang there head in shame!

 

[Jex]

How can you guys forget Baccano!? Best show of 2007.

Considering there were like 200 anime released that year I don't even know if it's possible or necessary to single out one particular show to rule over the rest.

Spoiler

But if I were to commit such a crime, it would be for School Days Mononoke

 

[Dresden]

How can you guys forget Baccano!? Best show of 2007.

I dunno dude. Such a godly year. Mononoke for one.

e: ugh, beaten

Stealing Dresden's joke answer: A Game of Thrones.

Well, it's the only show I'm actually excited to watch on Sundays at least. Wincest and all that.

 

[Risette]

How can you guys forget Baccano!? Best show of 2007.

It's not as good as Mononoke or Gurren Lagann.

edit:

 

[firehawk12]

Well, it's the only show I'm actually excited to watch on Sundays at least. Wincest and all that.

I'd like to think that Game of Thrones and Treme has the most diametrically opposed audience outside of the Superbowl and America's Top Model.

Assuming this joke is taking the tack I think it is, it's unfair to single out AGoT because premium pay channel shows are almost all like that. Here's some tits and gore just because we can, not because it'll actually add anything of substance to the narrative.

Naw, it's just that phantasy and syfy is basically white-people animu. Except on HBO

Spoiler

incest

is classy. :lol

Also, if we're going back that far, Aria the Origination, yo!

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

How can you guys forget Baccano!? Best show of 2007.

It's amazing, but not the best show of 2007. Ookiku Furikabutte aired in 2007, after all. Baccano is right up there, however.

 

[Cwarrior]

edit:

Haven’t seen mononoke, baccano is definitely better then gurrn lagann

need to watch monoke someday once am finished my huge backlog(so 2013)

Pff, that's going a little too far back!

Anyway, every recommendation on this page is already encapsulated in this thread, which only makes sense considering everyone here recommended shows for it.

damn you and your thread making skills, now my backlog got a lot bigger

 

[flawfuls]

I'm a huge fan of Ookiku Furikabutte, but I wouldn't go that far. 2007 was an insane year. Season two was the best show of 2010 however.

Nichijou 03 - Most of it was pretty funny, but by the arm-wrestling part I was starting to get a little tired of that part (Yukko v. Mai)... still though, when she pulled out that broccoli, earlier on? Hilarious. I laughed for a while at that one.

Also, so Hakase is eight (and the robot one). Is she actually a professor, or does her robot just call her that? Seeing Sakamoto's backstory was nice, though. Kitties are cute. The part where he allowed them to pet his belly without complaint, though? Yeah, cats are probably going to claw you when you try that...

She seems to have built the robot, as she's always modding it, so she's a scientist of some sort, which would qualify her for the Professor title.

Had Giant Killing that year too for Sports anime. Thus a good year.

But there is only one true best of 2007. OverDrive !>_<!

 

[Joule]

2007 was a good year. HidaSketch's first season, Sketchbook ~ full colors, Potemayo, Zetsubou's first season, Minami-ke's first season, Seto no Hanayome, ... along with the other aforementioned greats for that year.

5cm/s was also 2007.

 

[firehawk12]

But nearly everyone watches the Superbowl, which would necessarily include the audience for America's Next Top Model.

If you aired the finale of America's Next Top Model against the Superbowl, I'm sure that'd be considered genius counter programming. It's like when generic romcom starring Jennifer Aniston runs against generic bro movie like Batman vs Iron Man 3.

I just think everyone who watches A Game of Thrones is going to turn off HBO and then a whole new set of people will turn on HBO to watch Treme. Such an odd pairing.

Thought about that too, but the series proper started in 2005, which is outside of the given time frame.

Pff, that's going a little too far back!

Origination is technically 2008 so... whee.

There's more Sakamoto wackiness in episode 4!

Kaiji also started in 2007 didnt it?

 

[trejo]

I think we can all agree, though, that School Days is one of the best shows to come out during that timeframe and that GaimeGuy should marathon it and post impressions for us post-haste.

 

[Lain]

I'll mention Kanamemo, Chu-Bra, Working, and both seasons of Arakawa Under the Bridge since I'm sure most others won't bother.

Glad to see someone else recognize that Kanamemo was a worth watch of the last few years. The first episode is still one of the most amusing of the whole show for me thanks to the frog in the bag.

It was something I watched on a whim and it wasn't that bad. I was mildly amused enough to finish it. There were some funny antics here and there.

Maison Ikkoku ep6

just wow what a dick ronin is, after finding out kyoko’s husband is dead, first thing he thinks about is how if he was still alive she would be able to find faults in him and how his at a disadvantage against her dead husband who cause is dead is now invincible(in her mind).

they don't make anime music like they use too, the style of music in 80s-early90s are quite different from todays animes.

Yotsuya already my fav character out the bunch
