[OT] Official Anime Recommendation/Watching Currently Thread!

[Spartan 117]

^ lol you guys keep track of watched anime ? I have watched around 70-80 complete anime series.... And i can say proudly that not a single one of them was so bad that i'd wish i had seen another one instead of it

lol
I keep track of them because it becomes easier to recommend it to someone, my memory isn't that good.
I have started doing the same for movies for about a year now, makes it A LOT easier to recommend stuff.
Take a look if you're(or anyone's) interested:

Shiit! You've watched a LOT too! How'd you guys find the time!



Wow, you're lucky then! I've wasted God knows how many hours on Naruto... I SO wish I'd watched some other series instead of it (could've watched like 20 series )

Well I did started watching animes several years ago, so they stacked up.
I don't get much time ever since I started uni though. I hardly watch them now. :/

OH and I also do follow long animes like Naruto.

Haha, nice! Guess I'll have to check Gintama out too

That's a good reason to keep track of watched stuff ^_^

Ah! Yeah, uni sucks because of that

Haha, I don't really regret watching Naruto, but I wish I'd known earlier that there are lists out there that tell you which episodes are fillers so you can skip them

I feel ya, happened to me too when I first watched Naruto.
I haven't watched bleach yet. But when I do, I'm gonna skip most of the fillers.

Bleach fillers are not really bad compared to naruto some are actully pretty good too like the Bount arc and Zanpakuto arc

Haha, there should be a disclaimer before fillers, telling you they're fillers


Bleach is ok, but I didn't care much for it. Stopped after 2 seasons. Consider watching Xam'd: The lost memories or Ghost in the shell: Stand alone complex, if you haven't watched those yet.

Still though, didn't you find Bleach a little dull?? How far along into it are you?

Bleach was the very first Anime I watched & started my Anime journey with it back in Nov 2010. I have fully completed it twice. Its a great anime to watch. Some Filler Arcs are indeed not necessary; I agree on this, but the main story is awesome. Tite Kubo really did the best with Bleach.

Yeah, I've heard that some fillers are good. Will see which ones to drop and which ones to watch.
Problem is time nowadays. I would have watched all the fillers during my pre-uni days.

Your first anime always holds a special place in your heart.
For me, it was Dragon Ball Z.

It was awesome in the beginning but went downhill and finally I stopped watching after the Ichigo vs Ulquiorra fight, the only reason I made it so far was because it was the first anime I watched (excluding pokemon,digimon beyblade etc) and had a great amount of love for it

Hahah yeah one should atleast watch till 60 thats where one of the best fights in bleach are, especially Renji vs Byakuya and Byakuya vs ichigo
good times man good times

Kaori Miyazono


I'll never forget this. Definitely one of the freaking best thing to arrive in a few years. Great music, emotional roller-coaster, likeable - hell loveable character. The anime was so great I can't begin to express it in words. This was a real gem, a beautiful one at that. This thing is defintely on par or hell better than Code Geass. Anime's like Code Geass have action and other good things where they can shine, and no wonder they are popular with the world. But Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso does not have that going for it, and it still shines. It is, for me the best drama, romance and school anime ever. It set the benchmark pretty damn high.

I looked at the manga after the anime, and love it even more. It surpassed the source material. The creators did a great job adding color and beautiful sound, which made it stand out. The ending was pretty great as well. After finishing the anime, I kinda vividly smiled after looking at its title. The author came up with a great name


P.S The OST is just bloody awesome. Infinte thumbs up to this.


10/10

Gimme some anime guys. Can be anything but it must be really good, that's the only requirement. Can be comedy, high school, action, supernatural, detective, mecha etc but the plot, art, music has to be top notch. Thx.

Kara no kyoukai, kuroko no basuke and legend of the galactic heroes if you want something long running.

watch gintama? Other than that there are a ton of cool anime that will finish airing on 28 march... Durarara x2, KnB season 3, Jojo's Bizarre adventure Stardust Crusaders ( will still go on i guess... watch the first part).


Mushishi ( if u want something unique... no comedy no highschool, no action.. sorta supernatural but still its unique) and Golden Time ( if u want slice of life, romcom )

@PCftw

[waleed3601]

kara no kyoukai seems interesting but thanks for reminding me of kuroko no basuke. i left it after season 1 but just remembered how awesome it was, def gonna watch it.

thanks i guess ill be rewatching gintama (started it once but left it as is in the middle somewhere) and mushishi sounds nice too.

@Spartan 117. Just hurry up and watch this one man. It was absolutely terrific, and after a re-watching some episodes I feel it is just about to surpass Code Geass on my list. The quality was consistent, and the music was just mesmerizing. It just epic

Log Horizon 2
​

Log Horizon S1 was absolutely phenomenal and I absolutely loved it. Hell, I liked it better than SAO S1, even though the latter was also pretty kick-ass. Log Horizon was although similar to SAO, it was at the same time pretty different. It had more depth and the characters and story was just better. It was just superior and kick-ass, so naturally I had pretty high expectations from its sequel. And it surprisingly disappointed me a great deal. I mean, the starting intensity of Log Horizon S1 with everyone going nuts and the creation of the Round Table was pretty good, and would have been hard to follow considering in S2 many characters kind of accepted and settled down. But, they filled it with some shit filler like episodes that it was just a chore to watch. I'll rant the rest in the spoiler section.

Spoiler: show

So, the starting was pretty good, but seriously they just blew the whole Akatsuki is facing problems way out of proportion. It occupied a good 4-5 episodes I think. It was just a chore, I mean just being sad and whiny isn't like Akatsuki, and her problems were blown to astronomical proportions for no reason. It was just total bullshit. Second is wasting another 4-5 episodes on Minori, Tohya, Rudy and Isuzu's journey. That was completely unnecessary and annoying. 1-2 episodes would have been fine considering they had to cram Roe 2's intro as well, but seriously that was just way too much. I almost quit the anime when Wyverns were attacking and Isuzu was crying because of some music related problems. I mean WHAT THE FUCK! I bet even Rudy was annoyed by her behavior, GOD DAMN! The saving grace was probably Tohya, he was handled pretty darn well.

Concluding the rant, it got pretty good towards the end. But like I said, they could have included a lot more content and important stuff in place of some annoying shit (refer to spoilers). Season 2 was nowhere as good as season 1.


P.S Seriously what is up with Stuido Deen. Why do they screw up good series. Fate/Stay Night and Log Horizon S2 are prime examples. Though I'll say that Log Horizon 2 was miles better than the utter crap Fate/Stay Night was.


6.9/10 (I am having a crisis here. 7 seems too much and 6 seems a bit low because of my love for the franchise so I'll go with 6.9 )

^Will do man, will do. Really excited about it now.
