Hello anime-gaf,

I'm new but kinda old to this community. I was brought here by darkside and staying around thanks to cajun (for now).

So as my greeting I ask if there is any series you wish for me to start off with as my initiation?

And just before you say it yes I have watched School Days so don't bother, but I will watch whatever you guys want me to whether terrible or good.

I'll only kibosh watching something if I've seen it already.

Mawaru Penguindrum would be a great choice.

*Anohana, Toradora, and Waiting in the Summer are directed by the same person.

It is indeed, though I admit the sheer pervasiveness of all the thread pimping did hurt it, somewhat. I'd already long since finished Hyouka before all the hyperbole kicked in, but I imagine it was much the same. You can see it giving people the incentive to watch it, simply with the mindset of "I'm going to watch it and then tell them how much it sucks!"

Well that settles it then. Show dropped. Not even gonna bother with this Hyouka thing anymore.

I had promised to pick up Kino's journey, but I don't know yet that that's what I want. I need to take a good long look at what I've got and see if I can't think up something great. I also need to see VOTOMs, but I'm watching so much classic mecha that the idea was to get something else to cleanse the palette.

Hey it's Kave_Man.

Off the top of my head I think of Revolutionary Girl Utena (don't know about it as an initiation though), Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Steins;Gate, and Kino's Journey (haven't finished it though)

Hey there Kave! Hope you enjoy it here. Most of the people are nice folks.

I think what Mockingbird says makes the most sense. Its hard to really recommend a show unless you know what types of shows people like. Anime is just a medium so there are shows in every genre aimed at all kinds of different folks.

I would never recommend OreImo though. Don't watch that. I'd recommend something more fun to watch, try something like Baccano or Gurren Lagann.

Notable lewdnesses of this episode:
imouto gets seen by her brother bending over with no pantsu on. We get to see piss actually dripping down imouto's legs. Ghost girl gets in bath with imouto and voraciously molests her again.

And now imouto is literally
trapped naked in the bathroom
with her brother. Oh, boy. All in a day's work for this show!

Golden Time 5

Well I get why people don't like it but I don't mind it too much. For all the possible
supernatural twists
this one doesn't bother me as much as other ones.

I hope the execution of this is better though than a certain Romance anime from 2012 that included something similar with the
two different sets of memories with 1 person

I will say though that this really just makes
Linda
look really bad. Definitely am interested in her rationale as to why she did what she did, or more accurately what she didn't do.

I guess I should say I'm not a newb to anime. I've been watching for as long as I can remember, I just haven't watched as many as I used to but with that said...

Seen Anohana for some reason as I watched my eyes kept watering, not sure why though cause I'M A MAN! But fantastic series.

Toradora started off as a random watch and ended as one of my fave series I've ever watched. I had the same problem I did with Anohana, my eyes just kept watering.

Gurren Lagann of course I've seen, so manly, so awesome. I was spoiled by GAF on Kamina because of their speculations but so worth it.

Okay so based on these I'll go with the series I know nothing about:

1. Strike Witches
2. Stein Gates
3. Clannad
4. Penguindrum
5. Ojamayo Doremi
6. Yamato 2199

Alright I'll start with Strike Witches.

No. Kanon is the uguu one.

Yeah, I really think you should watch Clannad + Clannad: After Story.

I can recommend Kanon too though. If you want to watch that too, then you should maybe watch Kanon first.

Its possible that it might not bother you then but be forewwarned the introduced element gets VERY AGGRAVATING. Also Linda is indecisive and terrible sometimes. Its very messy. But that makes it interesting.

Kave seriously don't watch Strike Witches.

Steins;Gate and Clannad are good recommendations. I still haven't watched Yamato myself but everybody seems to love it so its seems like a good choice.

If Strike Witches is really what he watches first, I have a feeling we'll never see Kave_Man again. Which would suck, because Kave_Man is awesome.

Watch Steins;Gate, Kave.

Then I highly recommend Waiting in the Summer (Ano Natsu de Matteru): http://www.crunchyroll.com/ano-natsu-de-matteru

Like I mentioned before, Toradora and Anohana were directed by the same person -- Tatsuyuki Nagai -- and he directed Waiting in the Summer as well. It's only 12 episodes. All the Nagai shows have a really good way of ending episodes. Also, Ano Natsu has the same writer and character designer from the Onegai series, and you'll see references to them here -- even if they're not directly related.

Don't bother with Clannad. It sucks. Unless you love Moe.

Also, I haven't seen Steins;Gate yet but it might be better to wait until next month cause the visual novel gets released in North America. Might be better to play the game first -- which is what I'm doing.
