Anime Recommendation and Suggestion Query

[SPIKE_MILLENNIUM]

Ok peeps, I need help on taking in a new anime. I like anime that has some of everything... not like the dragonball series where there's too much fight and no story and not like one piece which is the most childish fucken show. Tenjou tenge was too short so i need something with at least 50 eps. I watched Naruto and Bleach which were both great, unfortunately because of the childish fillers, Naruto no longer interests me. What should I watch next? Full metal? What's Kyou Kara Maou like? I wouldn't mind an anime without the weird japanese humor either. So, a very serious anime isn't a bad thing. I JUST WANT SOMETHING GOOD before i flip out man!! Because regular TV sucks ASS!!!

A nice topic, but someone already has a topic just like it here. I'm merging your post with this thread, instead of locking or deleting it because you're new. Please don't make this a habit or a ban may be used to enforce those rules you argreed to when you started posting here.

Full Metal Alchemist seems to be the one that fits your constrictions. One Piece isn't childish, though it might be more on the the humorous side.

anyone ever seen golden boy?
thers one for ya

Golden Boy's good due to its sheer hilarity. Guys probably appreciate the massive fan service that abounds in this very short series (5 or 6 eps) =P I remember watching this and nearly fell out of my chair during the.... second ep, I think. It's the one where he's led by the hand by some rich student and.... =X

As per the One Piece discussion, I would refer you to this thread:

It goes over some key reasons why people like it so much and why. Many people seemed to have had go to at least the Arlong Ark before really enjoying (I for 1). Give it a shot and you'll really like it.

Recently I have been looking for some new shows to watch and I have found a few that I'm not sure about, so I thought you guys could help me out.

Are any of these shows, in your opinion, a MUST see (or atleast up there with the great ones) and why? Or, should I avoid one?

Outlaw Star
Monster
.Hack//SIGN
Hunter x Hunter

I realize Hunter x Hunter and Monster are very popular but with my limited space I am wondering if I "have to" download them.

Thanks in advance,

Haven't seen the first three... so I can only highly recommend HxH It's a great series and slightly atypical to most shounen types. The main character can display some idiocy but has never turned stupid in a fight (*cough*naruto*cough). Battle tactics there are usually pretty well thought out.

I've been wanting to see Outlaw Star for a while now though. Tried to download the series once but turned out there was no subs to it. So I haven't bothered to try too hard looking for it again =P So if you ever get your hands on it, lemme know how it is

HxH and Monster are must downloads. Enough said.

In accordance with what Bud said, HxH is a series comparable to Naruto, and thus you could call it a must download. Monster is a must if you like totally realistic murder / psycho (not Hollywood style) mysteries. Outlaw Star is a very good example of a rugged space flight scifi series that's quite similar to Firefly. In my opinion it was a very good series, and well worth downloading, although I don't know if it's a must.

.Hack//SIGN is a bloody boring anime, but I guess it has its supporters. But most likely if you are so bored that you download .Hack//SIGN, you will be even more bored after watching it. Well, to be honest I haven't watched but 4 or 5 episodes from the beginning, before I got fed up with the odd characters and their odder behaviors. Every single one of them behave as if they were happily stoned, and thus any action is such a bother to initiate... Maybe I will finish it some day. Who knows.

Now I know exactly what you meant by nearly falling out of your chair. Damn this show is crazy. The fanservive is also purely humorous most of the time. Thanks, I probably wouldn't have sought out this series without that post of yours.

^ I'm glad you enjoyed it. Benkyobenkyobenkyobenkyobenkyo.....

PS: i would rep you, Kraco, if I hadn't given you one recently just a short while ago. This has been happening a lot to me lately. Apparently, I only consistently like the posts of a select handful of GWers that would inspire me to hand out positive reps. Must try to be more open-minded?
