Re: What's a good anime?What sort of films/books/TV shows do you generally like? There's so many, of so many different genres.
Death Note and Melonchloy of Suzumiya Haruhi seem to be popular choices to start with, but popular doesn't necessarily mean you'll enjoy them. If you haven't watched any Studio Ghibli films, I'd definitely recommend any of them. -

Re: What's a good anime?Watch the first episode of Elfen Leid and come back and say that. There is more to anime than Digimon.(Original post by lukas1051)
There's no such thing. Anime is for children.

Re: What's a good anime?This post outlines some good introductory anime. As anime is a very big medium encompassing a lot of different genres, it's all very dependant upon your own tastes.(Original post by EmilyAl)

Yet you are named Nihilum from World of Warcraft, am I correct?(Original post by Nihilum)
None. Only children like cartoons and comics. (Or those with the mental age of a 7 year-old)
Pot. Kettle. Black.
Point is, your never too old, if you enjoy something, enjoy it. Life's too short.
OP, try Naruto. Im trying to get into Anime and I've been recommended that.

Re: What's a good anime?FLCL, Nana and Full Metal Alchemist are some excellent anime.(Original post by EmilyAl)

Btw, what genre are you interested in? If it's romance, definitely watch Nana!
How can you say that if you haven't even watched an anime intended for your age?(Original post by lukas1051)

Re: What's a good anime?Elfen Lied is a terrible example of a 'mature' anime.(Original post by Philbert)
Watch the first episode of Elfen Leid and come back and say that. There is more to anime than Digimon.
Maturity does not include tits and body parts flying everywhere.
Ontopic:
Death Note
Full Metal Alchemist
Ghost in a Shell
Anything by studio Ghibli
Cowboy Bebop
Akria
All of these are good intros.Last edited by Carecup; 24-06-2012 at 18:38. -

Re: What's a good anime?I didn't say it was "mature," I simply implied that it is not intended for children.(Original post by Carecup)
Elfen Lied is a terrible example of a 'mature' anime.
Maturity does not include tits and body parts flying everywhere.
I could have given any number of animes involving all sorts of topics that children would find difficult to understand, but EL is infamous for being violent and is popular (possibly for the aforementioned reason). -

Re: What's a good anime?Comedy:(Original post by EmilyAl)
I'm into comedy's with a weird twist and a bit of mystery, so what would be good for me then?
Ouran High School Host Club - Totally wacky and so much fun
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya - if you're a fan of sarcasm
the main male character is just too funny
Princess Jellyfish - it's about a NEET nerdy girl and a pretty transvestite boy. Hilarily ensues. Quite touching as well.
Mystery:
Death Note - it will keep you guessing and makes you think twice about what "evil" is.
Baccano! - set in New York in the 1930's. The english dub is brilliant to this and there's a mafia feel to it.
Hope this helpsLast edited by Naami; 24-06-2012 at 20:13. -
