    Both series have lots of despair. Good stuff.

    So, Im kinda lost this season. Watching One Punch Man of the new shows. And Gundam and Utawarerumono, though the latter isnīt that outstanding (yet?). Have any must-sees manifested already?


    Also, Iīm a bit sad I didnīt get a birthday thread this year tbh :>

    Since I love Boku dage ga inai Machi TOO much, I need some recommendations. PLEASE! Any other shows similar to that one or Ano Hana? I already know stuff like Boku to Kimi, though Iīd say that one isnīt really featuring what makes the other two so enjoyable, which is:

    - some sort of (not overblown!) mystery
    - reminiscing oneīs own childhood/teenager"hood"(?)

    Would love to get some anime that are like that and have nice animation and music, too.

    A friend is driving me nuts, calling Noein and Hunter X Hunter "shit", because "itīs like Dragon Ball". Yeah :/

    He likes Death Note, but hates fantasy and fighting. What he likes about Death Note is the intelligent, clever story and how everything is woven together. Anything like it? I thought of Code Geass, of course, but thatīs too fantasy and has lots of fighting. :/

    Durarara!! aka DRRR (seasons 1-4) and/or Baccano
    Gosick
    Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
    Mawaru Penguindrum

    To a lesser degree:
    Death Parade
    Eden of the East
    Rokka no Yuusha

    He doesnt like Death Parade. I told him Durarara and Baccano are pretentious shit. And Higurashi? The one where little obnoxious girls kill everybody?!

    I kinda think Eden of East wonīt be "clever" enough for his taste.

    Shouldn't the classics fit a bit more?

    Like:
    Monster
    Gankutsuou
    Crest of the Stars/Banner of the Stars
    LOGH

    For newer ones:
    Steins Gate
    Time of Eve
    Tatami Galaxy

    It's hard to recommend stuff without fighting and fantasy. That only leaves sci-fi if you want a relatively smart and complex story. Other awesome anime are more episodic or comedy.

    Maybe by clever he meant mystery?

    In that case:
    Dennou Coil
    Book Girl
    Denpa Teki na Kanojo
    Spiral: The Bonds of Reason (has no ending though)
    Subete ga F ni Naru (perhaps too pretentious, just like your friend)

    Are you sure he doesn't like "fighting" or is it more like "I don't like Naruto" (-fights) and/or other "we face a different enemy every 5 episodes"-low quality shows

    That doesn't answer the question though.

    If he doesn't like fighting, then that would exclude stuff like GitS for example, if he just doesn't like people shooting lasers out of their hands and getting power ups, that would only exclude most shounen.

    he hates "style over substance", which for him applies to all the fights I mentioned. Itīs frustrating :/

    Hunter X Hunter, as awesome as it is, is classic shounen. It is just done very, very well.

    Noein is a different show altogether, so it doesn't really say much if he doesn't like both. Just maybe, he is too picky.

    Have you tried recommending the guy the stuff mentioned above?

    lol, i just showed him your postings. So he told me: "I donīt hate all fighting. I like fights like in Asterix or Bud Spencer/Terence Hill-movies".

    There you go :|

    Oh, and he calls the battle between Meruem and Netero "der allerhinterletzte Dreck". sigh

    He doesn't like anime, period.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Edit: And he doesnīt like romance. Not a big fan of fantasy either, unless itīs exceptional ... whatever that means in his twisted view. And heīd like something serious-minded, even though he doesnīt hate comedy.

    Edit 2:

    His favorite stories, anime or not, are:

    Death Note
    Star Trek DS9
    Babylon 5
    Virtue's Last Reward
    Hannibal
    The Judge and His Hangman
    Sherlock

    Chobits isn't just romance and comedy, it's just a front. Or maybe it's too pretentious to see more than that ?

    And seriously, I do not see why it would be a bad choice with Sailor Moon and Pokemon mixed in... And even Death Note.

    Then tell him to try my list, Mfauli. Look at all the sci-fi and mystery on his list. My guess was spot on.
