Psycho Pass is good, think it got a second season + a movie...

Currently watching Gurren Lagann.

Some of my favorites:
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
Space Dandy

Do films count? Toss pretty much all of Miyazaki up there too.

, I like many also got his roots in Toonami. Actually, I haven't expanded **that** beyond it. I remember calling my older brother "gay" for watching Dragonball Z, but got hooked into it myself before long. YuYu and Kenshin sealed the deal.

I loved the trailer things that Toonami and Adult Swim did. And the bumpers too.

The release of new episodes of DBZ (including Goku going super saiyan for the first time) was a pivotal moment in my childhood. As was the debut of Gundam Wing.

watching:

-Captain Earth
-Isshuukan Friends
-Kawaisou
-No Game No Life
-Nanana Colle
-Nisekoi

Captain earth is a pretty fun watch, sure it's pretty trope-y and corny but simply taking it at face value, it's a beautifully animated show with some funny moments and decent action. kind of over the whole "spirit powers the robot" deal since TTGL has pretty much set the bar for that. whatever, i'll watch it while i eat some food or something

Isshuukan Friends has an interesting premise, but I never really get hit with the "feely" type shows. Nonetheless I like the art style and the fact that the main character isn't a clueless fuck.

Kawaisou and Nisekoi are my SoL shows of the season. Really enjoying Nisekoi and the work that SHAFT does as a studio. Sure, the plot doesn't really go anywhere, but it's lighthearted fun and the reaction faces are priceless. I have a weak spot for Sakurasou which is why I think I like Kawaisou so much. Aside from the great animation, the characters are funny enough (albeit played out) and both have Hana Kanazawa as a voice actress which is always a plus.

NGNL and Nananacolle are two shows I didn't really expect to watch, yet after watching each respective show's first episodes, I was hooked. NGNL has some beautiful visuals and I feel Nananacolle has the most potential to turn out to one of the season's most interesting shows despite it's rather meh looks.

Plan to watch:

-Ping Pong
-Mekakucity Actors
-Soul Eater Not!
-Mushishi

I was a real teenage anime.

I really liked Bebop, FMA, .Hack//Sign, season 1 of Haruhi, Lucky Star, TTGL, FLCL, and Attack on Titan.

Potentially cool series that made me feel like a creep: High School of the Dead, Strike Witches

hsotd was hilarious in it's over the top, super weirdly sexually charged action/fanservice. it knew exactly who it was appealing to and it was fantastic in it's execution

the anime had a bit of a lackluster ending (essentially just a commercial for those to read the manga, but isn't that every anime nowadays?) and i dropped the manga around issue 20 after my interest petered out. still a fun watch/read though

love anime.

I tend to only watch dubbed anime. I just can't keep up with subs, the end up boring me often (though for some shows it's necessary). pretty much all my recommendations will have decent dubs for this reason

I have the obvious favorites like Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, etc. But my absolute favorites (and the ones I heavily recommend) would be these:



BECK, a fantastic slice of life about a band. Except way cooler than Haruhi. Probably my favorite of all time anime. The manga is fantastic as well, basically the only longer manga that I've ever liked enough to read all the way through. It is absolutely loaded with music references for a huge array of genres.



Welcome to the NHK, an anime about a hikikomori (recluse) and his attempts to re-integrate in to society. first couple of episodes are on youtube. Great anime, if a little bit depressing.



Planetes. Another slice of life series- It's about space garbage collectors. This is not only one of the best anime out there, but also one of the best hard sci-fi series out there.



Hajime no Ippo. A series about boxing. Very amazing, not sure what else to say.

I also think One Piece is great (the manga is better though) and probably the best of its genre.

Some recommendations for some slightly less serious anime.

B Gata H Kei

The premise is stated early in the first episode: our protagonist is a high school freshman named Yamada and her childhood dream is to have sex with a hundred guys. Solid lines from the first episode include "Finding a card-carrying virgin cherryboy who's also a hottie is practically impossible" and "What's he freaking out about? Oh, he's probably never been this close to pretty". It's a very fast-cutting show but if you don't get worn out it's a lot of fun.



Ouran High School Host Club

This show is centered around Ouran High School, an extremely prestigious private school for the wealthy, its Host Club, a group of very handsome men whose job/passion it is to entertain women, and Haruhi, a very plain and poor person who worked her way into Ouran High. Plots are up there with B Gata H Kei in how ridiculous they are, without wading as far into the romance/sexual side of things. Linked is a subbed version of episode one, but you may want to watch it dubbed (still very good) so as to get the most of the animations.



Golden Boy

Golden Boy aired in 1995 and could be considered a spiritual/stylistic predecessor to B Gata H Kei. We follow Kintarou Oe, a student who completed all requirements for a law degree but dropped out before graduating, as he travels working various part-time jobs. This is a short one, only six episodes or so if I remember correctly. Each episode features Kintarou getting into a new situation with a new woman and having to work for her for some reason. Plots and jokes get absurdly sexual, though it's kept (mostly) at the level of innuendo.

If you guys are into cool ass japanese gangsta styled stuff from the 60''s, 70's, then my close friend, Eldo Yoshimizu (who's a mangaka from Japan with quite of a cult following) is almost about to release his first mainstream manga entitled "Ryuko".

Here are some snaps of his recent work:



The man really knows his shit, and he's a veteran architect / sculpturer, so we can expect some really eye candy stuff on the way. Check out his site as well: http://www.eldoyoshimizu.com/

I didn't watch anime as a kid and haven't gotten into the habit of watching too many series but there a couple that I really liked. Cowboy Bebop (obviously), and the Bakamonogatari serieses, and Ergo Proxy. Ergo Proxy latched on to me pretty hard, I could stop watching, ended up watching the entire thing over two days in the middle of finals week. Absolutely loved the aesthetic.

are there any battle shounen type animes that dont suck?

I watched hunter x hunter 2011 pretty recently and enjoyed most of it.. couple of arcs dragged pretty hardcore.

I feel like if naruto wasnt like a 900 episode commitment I would probably watch it but I am not going there.

Anything???

One Piece is my absolute favorite anime, and I think far outdoes HxH overall.

The most obvious reason for that is the time, yeah, it's another 600 episode commit. But Naruto is 900 and absolute ass in comparison.

Not really gonna push you to watch it because it's really the time that'll be a burden, but with that time you get the most magnificent character build up I've see from any show in any genre or entertainment medium. That's what I think is the biggest allure, and the battle is much better and more developed than HxH (similar, just in depth)

I'd say if you have the time and you like getting to know your characters get to One Piece. its at a much higher level than Bleach/Naruto/Fairy Tail could have ever reached.

Also if you are gonna start it soon it won't end for another decade so it really hurts being caught up

one piece still has like 10 years left before it gets done, and it has a ton of filler, so it's probably not a great recommendation.

also i don't know that it's that much better than naruto or bleach at the beginning, though i do think both of those fall off (but after like, 100 eps or something).

finished Samurai Champloo. Had caught bits and pieces before but decided to plop down and enjoy it myself over the weekend. Really the only thing that came from it was immense satisfaction.

spoilers here,

.
Quick Edit. I rate it a bit below Bebop, which alot of people compare when they shouldn't really seeing as they are two entirely different shows, beyond the barebones their is no similiraties. But I'm doing it anyways. Bebop was better to me because it was more...focused. It conveyed itself in a better way overall, and it was just so much more clear in a way. Spike is also my role model in life so that might be a reason, but yeah there's my take.

I recommend!

So I finished FMA:B, and I have to say it really exceeded my expectations. Story and character development was far beyond what I assumed it'd be, having never watched anime. A little disappointed in the use of CGI but that's a minor point. Kind of ironic cause I just started Ping Pong: The Animation and love the use of CGI so far. Four episodes in, really excited to see how Smile develops.

This can't come as much of a surprise from a techwear enthusiast but Gundam Seed and Ghost in the Shell were my fascinations as a Toonami teen. I can't say that Gundam Seed holds up as well, but Ghost in the Shell is easily more engaging as a late high school/college watch.

Watch Ghost in the Shell movies if you are more visual-minded for tech clothing and an introduction to transhumanism, watch the show for in depth discussion of AI evolution, politics in a "post-death" world, and philosophical joys like seeing a robot find a way to understand the concept of God through the prism of mathematics.
