Samurai 7 was a fine series. All the better if you have seen the original Kurosawa movie (despite the vast differences).

I had an acoount at boxtorrent before.. hopefully it's still there...
Anyways, Samurai 7 sounds cool.. Going to look that up..
Ippo you say, hmmm, your arguments are quite solid, have to look it up.. look a couple of eps and then decide if to continue!
MOOOORE people.. mooore... I've been gone from anime for 3 months, exept naruto and bleach, oh and a couple of 0083 gundam episodes.. lol
I can't believe I forgot about this one: KARAS! Futuristic ninjas. 'Nuff said. 6 eps total. Anime Kraze has dubbed 3 so far. Definitely a must see. There's a thread on this one right now. I think Bud recently updated it with the latest torrent? I have memory like a goldfish.
Before going into all these cool series that have been mentioned, you first have to take care of the Shounen must see's.
Hunter X Hunter and One Piece, after that you can go and watch all the other series that have been mentioned, Hajime no Ippo especially.
I aint watching One peice.. Have tried before but failed... It's so... so... so good if you are 5 years old.. I just think it aint good, have tried, but sorry!Originally Posted by Budweineken
I would definitely go with Monster its not like many of the ones you've seen but after a few eps you get hooked and I also second Hunter X Hunter.
You must have watched the One Piece dub. Don't. It's a mass of shit. Watch the subs and you'll see why it's badass.
One Piece is one of those anime series where the longer you stick with it, the greater the payoff. How many eps did you watch before you quit? If it's less than 20 then you should try it again.
(Good reminders, Bud)
You may also want to check out Air Master and Ikkitousen. Both of them are street brawling series. They's older titles, so they don't look shiny and polished, but definitely worth a look judging from your list. Air Master has some of the most brutal street fights without excessive amounts of blood (there is considerably little for how violent the fights are portrayed).
Since you did like Suzuka (I'm assuming Shuzuka = Suzuka), you may also want to look into Kimagure Orange Road. It is an old title (80's), and probably would be pretty hard to find, but it's got a very similar style to the story.
Of the new series, you may want to try out Himawari! It just started, so none of us know how it will turn out, but it comes off to me as a Fumoffu meets Naruto.
My lil sis has been watching One Piece but I just can't get into it either - to each his own I guess. And yeah, I do kinda wanna see Kurosawa's stuff too but might have to do that later on...heh, reminds me of how my mom and I used to watch The Magnificent Seven...still dunno why they took that show off the air, I thought it was good. Now I know where it came from tho.

You might like GetBackers, esp if you liked s-Cry-ed, though I haven't seen it all so I can't vouch for it completely. Might as well throw in Inuyasha for fun. Neither is as extravagent as some of these other suggestions, but popularity is often a good sign. If you can stand the girls My Hime is good , and definately Ghost in the Shell
As to One Piece, whatever they did to it for the dub I can't imagine how this show is so popular with so many in subbed form, how much could they change a good show and make it as look as bad as the One Piece dub looks and still have something to show? The dub tends to hold my interest when I see it, but it also sucks and makes me wish anything else I'd willingly watch were on.
What the fuck! It isn't anymore "good if you are 5 years old" than Naruto is..I aint watching One peice.. Have tried before but failed... It's so... so... so good if you are 5 years old.. I just think it aint good, have tried, but sorry!
Give it another try.
I had to watch like 10 eps and listen to several openings to really get obsessed with it.
Yupp I agree, naruto have become so unmature and silly these last 20 eps so it's comparable to the eps of One peice I saw.
But It hasn't been like that before, I remember Naruto when it was a great show, when the eps had meaning and intension, not rasenganing nuddles in a cook off..
But as I said, one peice aint my thing, sorry girls and lads, it's just like that!
But I want to thank you, I will have a look at these and perhaps they will catch my interest..
By the way Aint no good mecha series in the near future, like gundam, macross or summtin?
lol
Outlaw Star is a really good series, I didn't like the english dub but i have watched it subbed at least 8 or 9 times through.
They stopped subbing Hajime no Ippo a long time ago?
