So, what are you watching?

[Spork4pedro]

The family and I have just gotten into seriously watching anime recently (we have seen a bit here and there...I love me some Sailor Moon and the BIL is a Pokemon and Cowboy Bebop fan) since we dropped our cable and get a Roku box with Netflix and Hulu. The amount of anime available to us is a bit overwhelming so I was wondering if any of you had any recommendations? We've gone through Bleach and Sword Art Online (amazing!) and are currently hooked on Attack on Titan (super excited for the movie!). What are you guys watching?

[Tama]

I recommend DBZ. It was the only anime (if you can call it that) that I REALLY got into.

[Mishi]

RWBY (as each episode comes out)

The fun thing about anime is that their are so many different genres. What do you like? There is something.

I am enjoying Titans this season. Also watching:
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S (check out the first season and also Toaru Majutsu no Index 1 & 2)
Genshiken Nidaime (and check out the prequels)

Some of my past favorites:
Hagane no Renkinjutsushi (both versions)
Full Metal Panic
Gin Roh
PAT Labor series
School Rumble series
Monster
Valkyria Chronicles
Samurai 7

And if you have not found it yet, AniDB.

Um....*sorts through encyclopedia sized stack of anime suggestions* Um...I...


What KIND of anime are you looking for?! That will make it easier for me to suggest stuff. Like do you want Violent and adult, silly and childish, fan-service, Tongue-and-cheek, meta, Sci-fi, fantasy, slice of life, historical, school based, horror, mystery, totally random, animes with a serious universe, animes with a serious universe, mecha, harem, reverse harem?!


I have a LOT of suggestions, but I need a direction.


As for what i'm watching right now? nothing. My brother watches the full series each season and then sends me the ones he thinks I'd enjoy. I watch them all in huge chunks. It's more efficient that way ^_^

Hehe...that's about where I'm at. I know there are TONS! As for what type, we seem to be enjoying um...action I guess? Where the main hero is a huge badass. But as a whole we like fantasy and sci-fi type movies. My favorite so far has been SAO.

If you have Netflix, absolutely watch Mushi-shi. It's beautiful, contemplative and quietly powerful.

We watched Attack on Titan 1-8 and plan to catch up eventually, but I was getting really tired of the characters sitting around for half an episode freaking out over whether to attack the titans and die or run and maybe live or maybe not and...I was like, "Die, or don't. Stop THINKING about it!" The story is really interesting though so I'll keep watching for now.

At the moment I'm watching Cold Case reruns on Ion.

Here, this should keep you occupied for a while.

I'm a bit sappy when it comes to ainme....

Hence...

Sailor moon
Fruits basket
Angel Beats

Watch out for anyone cutting onions while watching the end of fruits basket and angel beats.....something might get in your eye.

Utawareruromo (I think I got that right) was one of my favorites. It's a bit short, but it's not bad. It's about a man who wakes up with no memory and he wears a mask that he can't remove. It's pretty interesting.

[Racket_Man]

It also depends on if you want a good story arc over say 3 seasons say like Full Metal Alchemist or 15 seasons like Bleach or one season like Samari 7 OR the LOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG Yugio battles or just random stories of one or two episodes.

Me I like a good story arc where individual episodes can be missed but the overall story arc is not compromised.

Have you watched Inuyayha(sp)??

[hinakiba777]

action I guess? Where the main hero is a huge badass. But as a whole we like fantasy and sci-fi type movies. My favorite so far has been SAO.

-Stein's Gate!
-Fate Zero (NOT FATE STAY NIGHT, that one is not good. Though they might remake it)
-Claymore
-Guren Lagann
- Air Master
- BACCANO! (awesome action anime, more of an ensemble than one protagonist, but it's great)
-Black Lagoon
-Jormungand

Those are just a few that fit your criteria.

oh and the movie Summer Wars.

Nothing to add to above, just a placemarker 'cause I'm too lazy to subscribe to the thread.

Oh - wait - I do have a question. Is there any way to get a full listing of the anime available on Netflix? I've searched on that, of course, and the results list is VERY incomplete, as evidenced by finding eps not in the list serendipitously.

[DaDairyDruid]

if you have a ROKU box a crunchyroll accout would not be amiss.

Hunter x Hunter
Emma
The Devil is a Part-Timer
