I've watched and enjoyed:
Naruto (skipped the stretched out episodes)
Death Note
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Thats about it really, im still kinda new, though I watched dbz and such as a kid. Any suggestions??

Tengen Toggpa Gurren Lagann. That's it, enjoy seeing what you thought to be your manliness blown to pieces by how freaking awesome it is.

Also, Lucky Star if you like stuff like that, FLCL is amazing, Hellsing Ultimate is awesome too.

Seriously though, start with Gurren Lagann, trust this anon.

OP here: Alright i'll start with Gurren Lagann, it looks like it features that redhead chick that is popular nowadays, now I know where she's from. I've also heard Bleach and Code geass is good, should I look into these or are they not worth it?

Don't listen to this man, unless you enjoy things of the homosexual male persuasion.

I second Gurren Lagann, and you'd probably enjoy Code Geass too, if you liked Death Note.

God damn, I saw a Gurren Lagann dvd at bestbuy for like 12 bucks, and I was stoked, then I turned the thing over, saw that it's like 14 episodes of subs only...No wonder nobody's buying it...And it started on scifi last monday...So I wonder when the dubs will be for sale.

I'd buy it...I don't care for the dub, really. I should head over to Best Buy sometime soon...hopefully they have it here, too.

Also, OP, if you liked Naruto's genre, you'd probably like Kekkaishi. Awesome anime.

I just like having both options honestly, and there's been plenty of cases where I've liked dubs better for one reason or another. Though I just wish they'd change Simone to Simon for the English dub...It sounds so damn girly hearing that. Specially when he's supposed to take up the mantle as the GAR leader and all...Just wish Yoko's voice was a little lower, but eh, she's supposedly 14 so....I guess it fits.

If you want some thing a bit more disturbed, I suggest Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni.

It was released for a little while as When They Cry in America, but I'm sure you can find fansubs all over the place.

There's signs that Higarashi and Black Lagoon (I'm stoked on this. specially since vol. 001 of the manga arrived at my house Saturday) is being taken over by funimation. We can probably expect them sometime next year, and probably the rest of the Hellsing OVAs as well.

My recommendation is Macross Frontier. I personally find it better than Gurren Lagann, mostly because the "fucking awesome" moments from GL seemed superficial to me.

Terra e/Toward the Terra is equally awesome if you don't mind the sheer amount of girl-oriented fanservice.

Depends on your perspective.
Code Geass is planted very firmly in 'so bad it's good' territory. If you can laugh at a Sci-fi channel original, you will enjoy Code Geass.
If you like things that are good, you probably will not.

>>696092
I thought Macross Frontier was a boring show with some of the worst animation I've ever seen in broadcast. I've got a friend who likes it though, so maybe it's tolerable.
Then again, if you didn't like Gurren lagann it could just be that you're a homo.

>girl-oriented fanservice
>awesome

Hey, mystery solved.

F's animation really isn't that bad; sure, it's no Bebop, but if you compare the day-to-day 2D animation with Gurren Lagann, it's actually pretty similar. Both slip up on a couple of episodes, both manage relatively well the rest of the time.

I enjoyed:

Code Geass
Lucky Star
Hidamari Sketch
Azumanga Daioh
Higurashi
Bleach (some parts)
Strike Witches (sue me)
Rozen Maiden
Cowboy Bebop
Dragon Ball Z (obvious)
Neon Genesis Evangelion

Just what I liked, don't know/care if you'll enjoy them too.

What makes Code Geass bad? It has an array of complicated and deep characters with a greatly layered plot, and many gripping twists. Not to mention the top notch voice acting and animation (inb4 quality), the fight scenes may not be too elobrate but it's not that kind of anime.

I realise the futility in arguing over the internet, but this my opinion anyway. Despite what /a/ says Code Geass is actually one of the better animes of today, otherwise you wouldn't see it in /a/ at all.

Agreeing on TTGL, FLCL, Higurashi, and Terra E.

Throwing in Paranoia Agent, Diebuster, Gundam 00, Monster, and Shigofumi. Social phenomena, mechas, mindfuckery, and mail lolis.

If you like TTGL, you'll like Diebuster. If you liked Death Note, you'll adore Monster. (whose anime is amazingly faithful to the manga) PA and Shigofumi are more "out there" animes, but still pretty interesting.

I just finished watching Higurashi (all of them) and I highly recommend that. It might be a bit sick and twisted (and violent), but really good overall.

Same for Elfen Lied. Loads of gore, but then the cute part too X3 nyaa~

I've only seen two episodes (the first one, and one of the more recent ones) and in both of them the animation quality was a joke. characters look like they're on 4's or 8's, and there is no lack of QUALITY in the backgrounds. Picture related.

Gurren Lagann's animation clearly doesn't have the same kind of budget that FLCL did, but the good fundamentals they demonstrated there are, with the obvious exception of ep. 4, still apparent. Also, they don't use shitty cg which sticks out like a sore thumb.

Gurren lagann has good animators taking shortcuts to make the most of their limited budget. Frontier has shit animators making shit animation, which happens to be cheap. There's a very big difference.

>>696583
The issue is that the plot twists are all horribly contrived. It's obvious that the writers *really* wanted to have something happen, but couldn't figure out how to fit it in- so it just happens for essentially no reason (see: Lelouch accidentally telling Euphemia to kill the Japanese, C.C.s amnesia, etc). And where the hell does the boat in season one come from? He's all like 'I need an army, and a boat', and then they just appear with no explanation. What a twist, right?

The animation is fine (at least, compared to Macross), though I have yet to meet anyone who hasn't laughed their ass off at some of the 'dramatic' facial expressions. Also spinzaku.

IIRC, so far there's been two seasons already made, and a third season in the works (with a bunch of OVAs in between if memory serves me right).

And on the subject of Higurashi, DO watch it if you like murder mysteries, holy shit what the fuck plots and insincere cuteness. DON'T watch it if you don't like obtuse amounts of psychopathic violence and QUALITY.

Higurashi isn't quality animation, I'll admit that, but it is quality story-telling.

Gurren Lagann is the greatest, godliest anime ever made if you're twelve years old and thought Full Metal Alchemist was too complicated to follow.

Code Geass might or might not be okay as far as the story goes. But the male character designs were so eye-burningly godawful that I couldn't sit through a single episode.

Strike Witches isn't for everyone, but if it's your kind of ecchi, you'll love it. Teenage lesbian sorceresses defending a parallel-universe Earth from alien invaders while flaunting their panties in your face. Touches all the bases.

Definitely Bleach from the start up to when they get back from Soul Society (I forget exactly how many episodes this is). As soon as you hit the "Bount" story arc, stop, and stop forever.

Da Capo (1 for romance and storyline, 2 for pure storyline)

People not trolling LS. Personally I loved it but everyone in any other part of 4chan will troll it like a obvious underage b&.

I'd give you all some internets, but I don't have any myself.

Oh, and while i'm here I will add to everyone who sugested TTGL, potemayo, azumanga, cowboy bebop, and LS. Just keep in mind that the first episode of LS is not so good....

Agreed with lots of the recommendations so far! Put these at the top of your list:

Azumanga Daioh
Bleach (watch until Bounto arc, skip said arc, continue when it ends)
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan
Code Geass
Darker Than Black
Dennou Coil
Elfen Lied
Higurashi no Naka ni (1 and 2)
Ichigo Mashimaro
Minami-ke
Saikano

Hmm... If you didn't like LS, I don't think it's the right anime for you, because the rest of it is the same thing, except rolling along the school year. But their topics do get better (at least from chocolate bread things), and the Lucky Channel has at least some storyline (it's more of a side episode thing though). In short, I guess, if you thought it was absolutely horrendous and boring, don't watch it, but if it was ok and so-soish, then MAYBE it's the right anime for you.

I think I watched all the Da Capo releases so far, but I've yet to finish the latest one which is DC 2 S.S. or something?

It's not bad but I'd say it's mediocre compared to the better romance/comedy ones such as Kanon 2006, Air, True Tears, Clannad, Blue Drop, ef - a tale of memories, Kare Kano, Kimikiss Pure Rouge, Honey & Clover, KGNE, etc etc.

Evangelion (best anime ever), Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (psycho loli everywhere), Ghost in the Shell (first two films, then series, then third film), Lucky Star, Spice and Wolf, Elfen Lied (people say its full of blood and gore, but its mostly just blood), Black Lagoon (made of pure win), Darker Than Black...

that should be enough for a while.

Stay away from Code Geass (shit writers, and it is likely that Lelouch, who bears resemblence to Light, will be similarly fucked at the end of the series, though he's already proven himself to be a homosexual faggot), the insanely long anime (like Bleach) because there are inevitable fillers and (imo) are designed for two year olds, and always seed after you torrent something, because its a nice thing to do.

Fixed. Light sees himself as God, and everything he does is about self-aggrandizement. Lelouch considers himself as far from being God as possible, and everything he does is about protecting the people he cares about.
