My top 10 animu list would probably be something like this

5 Centimeters per Second
Baccano
Haibane Renmei
Kaiji
Kuuchuu Buranko
Mononoke
Only Yesterday
Planetes
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Usagi Drop

I guess I need to watch more older stuff

Never read Chimoguri Ringo so I'll check it out. Anything else so I can shoot it down and say it sucks/doesn't compare to PH?

Just pick random stuff from this thread

 

[Regulus Tera]

oh we are doing lists again?

*flees*

 

[Kagami]

The more people say this, the more I want to watch a show

It's more tolerable than a lot of harems because the protagonist is a cute timid little boy, but eh. Watch it if you like those character designs I guess. (Did you watch Upotte!! ?)

 

[Dresden]

When it's done being translated you should read Boys on the Run. It is a good thing and should be read more.

I'd go so far as to say it's probably one of the best Slice-of-life comics I've ever read.

Anything by Kengo Hanazawa is worth a read.

Sounds like a pretty miserable mindset to take into this.

Just google 'manga' and chances are whatever that pops up will be better than PH.

 

[cajunator]

Still amazed you're watching this.

Narag has the most remarkable endurance I have seen in this thread.

I'm just shocked that Guilty Crown is on that list. That show is so bad....

You don't know DTL or his schemes.

I wasn't being serious. Sorry if it didn't come across as a jokey response. Anyway, I will check it out. Anything else?

Clearly.

 

[Narag]

I'm just shocked that Guilty Crown is on that list. That show is so bad....

I'm looking forward to the day I'm strong enough to take the Guilty Crown challenge.

 

[Train of Midnight]

I'm just shocked that Guilty Crown is on that list. That show is so bad....

For once we agree!

 

[kayos90]

I'm looking forward to the day I'm strong enough to take the Guilty Crown challenge.

Listen to the OST and watch for the animation. Oh, and also Gai. Everything else is pretty stupid.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I'm just shocked that Guilty Crown is on that list. That show is so bad....

Thus says the one who has Pandora Hearts as the best manga

 

[kayos90]

For once we agree!

Do we usually disagree? ???

Dude, I can make a list of 20 reasons why Guilty Crown sucks and 3 reasons why Guilty Crown is awesome off the top of my head. This is usually a bad sign for me.

 

[El Sloth]

I wasn't being serious. Sorry if it didn't come across as a jokey response. Anyway, I will check it out. Anything else?

Check out Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. I have a feeling you'd like that.

 

[Taruranto]

Shoe...

 

[kayos90]

Check out Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. I have a feeling you'd like that.

Okay, but I just read the premise and it already sounds underwhelming. I now have two to read. i'll give both 5 chapters each. Anything else?

So confusing of an anime. TTGL should have a stronger ending I think. Though Simon and Kamina were great and still memorable to this day. Best bros.

 

[dakkumauji]

Now for some actual anime.

Chocolate 04

I swear, this scene was only done to be gif and repeated everywhere.

Woo, more election talk. That's decent. And then sudden mood whiplash to bring down the series into its initial darker tone. It's pretty weird how easy this show just goes from everyone's having fun being in a club to boo bully time.

Looks like this along with Joshiraku is in some form delayed by the Olympics.

 

[cajunator]

Sailor moon 22

DEJA VU.

Usagi swears this has happened before.

Normally she's an idiot and wrong but...could it be?

 

[SDBurton]

Matter of pride at this point although the word pride & RKB aren't something that typically go together.

I hear you. Maybe I'll pick it up again soon.

 

[kayos90]

In all honesty, Guilty Crown doesn't even belong on any list. The show is so horrendous that I would put it in its own isolated spot. Ugh...

 

[El Sloth]

Okay, but I just read the premise and it already sounds underwhelming. I now have two to read. i'll give both 5 chapters each. Anything else?

Stop reading summaries.

Give me an idea of what else you're looking for.

 

[jbug617]

I want to see what the fuss is all about.

 

[survivor]

First 3 episodes really confused me. I tried to start the anime more than once and kept getting annoyed and confused, but once I stuck with it I was blown away

Ping Pong
Takemitsu Zamurai
A Bride's Story
Velveteen & Mandala

 

[kayos90]

Stop reading summaries.

LOL. Why? I'm going to read it anyway, might as well read the summary too.

 

[B-Dubs]

So confusing of an anime. TTGL should have a stronger ending I think. Though Simon and Kamina were great and still memorable to this day. Best bros.

Baccano used a disjointed approach, it wasn't linear (well it was kinda linear but kinda not) but each episode grouped similar ideas together. It's the kinda thing that gets better with each viewing. Also Issac and Miria.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Dude, I can make a list of 20 reasons why Guilty Crown sucks and 3 reasons why Guilty Crown is awesome off the top of my head. This is usually a bad sign for me.

The reasons why it is awesome probably heavily outweighs the minute details that may slightly decrease some feelings of a bit of slight not bad reasons for lowering ones view on the overall experience of it. Guilty Crown had the things to make any action oriented anime awesome and it delivered on that in just a mere 22 episodes. Thats outstanding.

 

[Dresden]

Apologies if I sound like an ass about this; I'm just never sure if you're being serious or not.

There's a lot out there, but Ressentiment by Hanazawa might be a good start, especially considering the recent popularity of Sword Art Online.

 

[kayos90]

Those of yall giving me these recs, I wonder if you guys really know my tastes or stuff.

No, it's totally cool. It was my fault anyway.

 

[Train of Midnight]

DVD? What is this???? At least 720p or nothing!

 

[cajunator]

My (current) top 10

Haibane Renmei
Kino's Journey
Twelve Kingdoms
Cardcaptor Sakura
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Escaflowne
Utena
You're Under Arrest
Code Geass
Chihayafuru

This is tentative of course.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

The Olympics are bad and you should feel bad!

Meh, so we agree to disagree.

 

[survivor]

Well you could give us a list of like 5-10 manga you really like so it will make it easier to give recommendations.

Didn't know you liked Chihayafuru that much

Yeah. I'd be glad to. Give me a while.

 

[cajunator]

I agree, when blurays are available, which K-ON does have BLurays.
I like them because you can't scratch the damned things. they are super durable.
A lot of stuff still comes out on DVD though, like Panty and Stocking, so I just buy that version. Better than nothing.

Yeah, but when a large draw of the series is the Visuals (Like K-ON) you have to get that HD, son!

 

[kayos90]

Manga series I enjoy and/or hold in high esteem off the top of my head right now:

Pandora Hearts
Eureka Seven
Last Game
Special A

 

[cajunator]

True. I even double dipped on Squid girl because I had to have the Cute in durable HD.
These things are highly important.

Wat.

 

[kayos90]

Wat.

I enjoyed it. It was mindless repetitive fun. I usually hate repetition but I enjoyed it.

I was going to buy it on bluray but Bandai put it on 4 volumes and it would cost $80 to own them all. I only paid $23 to own the whole season on dvd.

I've got nothing. It's all up to you, Survivor and Dresden.

lol? Something particularly wrong?

Have any other anime had that approach?

Firo Prochainezo was my favorite for the few episodes that I did watch.

I really don't know what to recommend you.

 

[kayos90]

Durarara!! does it sometimes...

I really don't know what to recommend you.

Is it because our preferences don't match?

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Durarara!! does it sometimes...

Is it worth checking out? (well assuming its sees BD release outside of JPN).

 

[cajunator]

I was going to buy it on bluray but Bandai put it on 4 volumes and it would cost $80 to own them all. I only paid $23 to own the whole season on dvd.

The way I approach buying anime, I usually get like 200$ worth at a time, so its either go BLuray or don't get it at all. Unless as I said before its on DVD and thats it. A lot of boxsets now are actually DVD/Bluray combo.
