Looking for opinions on whether any of the following series are good: Yakitate Japan, My HiME / Mai Otome, Beck, Last Exile, Code Geass..

Specifically, whether you think I will like them. To give you an idea of what I like, my favorite series' would be Death Note, Haruhi, F/SN, FMA, Eva, FLCL, etc.

Any advice would be appreciated. Will reward with wallpapers from any of the series I mentioned above as favorites.

If you enjoyed FLCL music ( from 'The Pillows' ), you should watch Beck for sure.

Mai HiME and Otome are cool ( specially Otome ), but I don't think there're any series that are alike among that list...

Can't say anything about the other since I haven't yet seen them

OP here. Thanks for the reply. I thought the same about Beck. I watched the first five episodes of Last Exile and found it a bit slow. But I was told it's a good series, so I don't know whether to pick it back up or not. Anyone tell me if it gets better?

Last Exile is awesome : a lot happens, and not necessarily what you expect, which I appreciated

Last Exile: one of my favourite shows
Yakitate Japan: dunno, lol / Haven't seen it
My HiME: shit (with fanservice, though)
Mai Otome: I didn't want to see this because of Mai HiME
Beck: dunno, lol / Haven't seen it
Code Geass: dunno, lol / Haven't seen it

Beck is a good show, but it might be a bit hard to find on the interwebs because it's been licensed. So has Death Note, for that matter, so say goodbye to ever getting the last two episodes subbed as a result of VIZ's douchebaggery.

You may enjoy: Kanon, Manabi Straight, Night Head Genesis, Bokurano.

Yakitate Japan: good shounen/comedy anime about bread
My HiME / Mai Otome: not worth watching unless you like brainless fanservice-ridden crap
Beck: good if you like music
Last Exile: awesome, would have been perfect if Gonzo didn't screw up the end
Code Geass: if you liked Death Note you'll probably enjoy it too

HiME and Otome are great
Last Exile is one of my favorites

But, you like Eva which is the most overrated piece of shit ever, and I can't help you with that.

FYI there are at least two versions of Death Note ep 36 on TT last time I checked and you better fucking believe ep 37 will be up next week as well.

Mai Hime/Mai otome = awesome series, I loved both, hime is better though, otome just a spin off.

Code Geass = BADASS BADASS BADASS, I REPEAT BADASS

Last Exile = Pretty good, not a whole lot of action but FMA didn't have a bunch of action either.

Beck = awesome
Yakitate japan = good for a while, I got tired of it

my HiME is okay, but if it weren't for the fanservice, I would tihnk that it was written for little kids.
>> Anonymous
I really want to be friendly, but you put F/SN as one of your favorites.

I will say this though, give Last Exile a chance. Beck too, I guess.

Blue Submarine 6. --- It's only 4 episodes long, but it's a good SF story. Character design by the same guy that did last exile and creature design by the guy who worked on Nausicca Valley of the wind see pic).

tengen toppa gurren lagann - kick ass show. Reminds me of FLCL, but with Mechs.

Planetes & Ghost in the shell 1st & 2nd gig - looking at your list I think you kinda go for more fantasy oriented stuff but these two series are good stories regardless.

Seirei no Moribito

The best show this season IMHO.

I hated Mai Hime since there is pretty much no plot. Didn't even bother watching the sequal.

mai hime had a sequel?
w/e wasnt a big fan

No, it's an alternate reality shit-fest.

I definitely recommend Beck and Yakitate Japan.

Beck is amazing. It has a great storyline and the music is fabulous. Even though it's hard Engrish, the songs are so good. To this day, my friends and I sing those songs in our cars.

Yakitate is also a great series. You may think a story about making bread sounds stupid, but once you start watching it, it is hilarious and sometimes keeps you in suspense. It does get kind of bland later on, but it's ok. The manga is also great so check that out.
>> Maestro Perverso
Geass and Exile are awesome... and check out Claymore, Seirei no Moribito, and Kaze no Stigma if you haven't.

Heroic Age :)

Bah. I dropped both KnS and Heroic Age. Though I would recommend the latter one if you liked Gundam Seed :\

Code Geass is made of badassness and it is a lot better than Eva.

I have concluded from this thread that /w/'s taste in anime is even worse than /a/'s.

what did you expect?
With those series OP listed as favourites.. I mean, oh wow, this thread would've been trolled/saged into oblivion in no time.
/a/ is like /v/, only with anime instead of games

I have concluded from that comment that you have no taste in any anime

/v/'s a lot more entertaining with the trolling and memes than /a/. /a/'s just annoying with the moe moe pedos and type-moon faggotry.

I'm too lazy to search for subbed things, I let this site do it for me-

Kino no Tabi. Hands down.
Manabi's... egh. I don't know why it showed up in this thread.
Yakitake... GARtender, to counter, but count on dropping it mid-series. It was through sheer willpower that I finished the series. It's cute, though. I'm surprised Ryu doesn't show up in /cm/.
Beck's nice, the music will stick with you forever (protip: get OP and 50 Cent Wisdom). The plot, though, you'll want to stab yourself eventually.

OK from what you gave as choices def worth getting BECK, by far the best music based anime series evah. Last Exile is def a great series it takes awhile to get rolling but it is worth the time. Yakitate Japan is good in doses, been working my way through the series for nearly a year now, whereas I still d/l and watch every new epsiode of Bleach as its released.

Some you might be interested in that aren't listed are:

Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann - ummmm just WATCH it I think you will like.
Darker Than Black - Nice action series that seems to get better as it goes on.
Black Lagoon - Great Action series (plus its got a Killer Maid)
Claymore - As mentioned in this thread good stuff

>Death Note, Haruhi, F/SN, FMA, Eva, FLCL
Wow, we have similar taste except I don't care for Death Note. (In b4 shitstorm)

I also recommend Geass. Good characters and a surprisingly complex story. Definitely my favorite anime in a while.

I also recommend Hayate no Gotoku for comedy/romance, Murder Princess for action, and Gurren Lagann for both action and comedy.

I have not even heard of the Anime's described here (exept FLCL)

I personally recommend a good Dose of Da Capo (both first and second series), Elfen Lied, Lucky Star and Shuffle!

If it is not *cute* then it's not Anime ^_^

Definitly Yakitate Japan and Mai HiME (<- epic) also Beck is very good. Last Exile is quite boring at times.

Dude, you should watch every single one of those. None of them are bad, they're all awesome.

Code Geass is way too generic. It's your standard "School Life with Mecha!" anime. The main character tries to be smart, but after watching the intelligent characters in Death Note, Geass fails hard. Only one episode of Geass struck an emotional chord with me, and that's episode 22. Not worth it to get there though.

For reading this, here, have some Haruhi.

My HiME was a bit of a surprise. I knew it was a magical girl series (I'm not partial to them), but it wasn't bad. Heck, the main character summons Bahamut, for christ's sake. Halfway through they change the rules of the series, but it truly is for the better. Throw in main characters that actually die and a few lesbians, and you have a decent anime.

U like the same animes as me XD

Beck is brilliant

Yakitate is great in the first 20 eps, then becames repetitive and boring

Mai Hime is nice...

Code Geass is ok...

And Last Exile is kinda disapointting.
>> Anonymous
I loved Yakitate, it started to get dull during the last arc tho :|
>> Anonymous
considering you like only mainstream animu, my conclusion is that you will like all of the series you suggested. I'm not even trolling.

I would suggest watching in the following order: geass, last exile, hime, and then if you like hime, otome, then beck/yakitate japon
