I'm one that might watch Code Geass.. I really did like the first two seasons, but I think it tied it up pretty well to just be done with it.. Give me more FMA and I'll be a happier camper.. lol.

Oh yeah, you guys need to check out Gintama. It might be the funniest anime I have ever seen. Hell it might be the funniest thing I've seen in a long time period.

Almost as funny as this:

...
And whats the fun of that and what's that got to do with anime??
Gintama is an average shounen anime like many, there are lots and lots of better anime, you just need to know where to look for...

Who cares that the bottom half of my post was offtopic. Lighten up. It's a viral video that is hilarious, you should be appreciative if you've never seen it before.

I've never seen an anime like Gintama.. it doesn't even really have a plot so how is it like many? Also its ratings are above average.

BTW, I scour the internet looking for good anime. I use search engines and look up tons of anime reviews. It, in my opinion, is much better than most of the other stuff I come across. It sounds like you haven't watched any of this series to call it average, and to automatically assume I haven't looked at other anime or don't have any sources is silly.

No one looks at anime the same way as you do.

Like I hate Vampire Knight's drawing art that i can't even read it.

I watched all the Eps (201 eps) in Gintama, there are some bad and some good one. Heck! And i couldn't watch Bleach for over 60 Eps. I like the care-free atmosphere, stupid jokes, and sometime mixed with serious stuffs.

Watching anime is like growing your own "interest tree". I used to watch only American look alike anime, or Otsuma Tesuya (i hope i spelt his name right), Studio Ghibli's anime and manga.

I used to hate anime/manga that draw characters with huge eyes (it freaked me out), but now i find them adorable.

djisas you may be a really hard-core "anime watcher", but don't assume everyone likes you. It takes time for everyone to get there, and sometime people's interest split half way into something else totally different than yours.

just so you know, i have probably watched 100 times more anime than you, maybe even 200 times, so dont underestimate me...
And im not thankfully for having watched that shit,actually i regret, the good thing is i actually skipped most of it...
By the way, lemme try and guide you too, check this: http://www.animeorb.info/plugins/for...topic.php?7202

All right guys.. We all have different tastes.. Some know of more then others.. Just because we don't have a "list" or that we don't go threw and say all the time "i've watched...." doesn't mean we haven't seen, tried, or even liked it..

We all have opinions on what is good and what is bad. That's what taste is about. If we liked the same thing, we wouldn't be nothing more then driods..

This was started for everyone to talk about anime.. Nothing more, Nothing less.. We are all critics. Just please make sure that we all know that we all have different tastes.. We've went threw a lot with this thread. Please don't drag it down...

With that being said... Gin tama wasn't my cup of tea.. I don't know.. Just didn't feel it.. Not like some of the others..

I never actually watched it, fully knowing what it exactly is and i would have better anime to watch, even more cause i dont really like anime that drags for long, the same way i will never watch naruto, no matter how good it might be, bleach is an exception cause i dont read the manga and i started to watch it from the very first day it aired...
Shounen anime is a machine to milk money from us, it is specially designed to keep us watching forever, going back to gintama again, just looking at that image they got on animedb i can tell right way it shares many elements with many anime ive seen before, but i reckon, its surprisingly high rated...

Now moving on!!

Anyone watching katanagatari??
Just watched the 7th, as usual it was great, more fun that last month but mb less epic...

pro tip: if you watch naruto, skip the filler. halves the amount of eps and makes it a ton better quality.

It's also known as Wonderful Days. I actually liked the movie. A little generic, but at least it manages to get you to relate to the characters.

As for tastes, it's personal. I guess I'm a bit of an odd ball, as I don't like most of DJs recommendations. I don't like much of BigBoi's either, tho. lol. I'm very picky. I get board with most anime. Most of it is pretty cookie cutter. I only like series that have something that stand out about them.

Have you checked them all??
Like i mentioned before, i will never watch Naruto, no matter how good it is...
Its just that it is near impossible for me to watch some 400+ episodes of something when there is so much fresh anime out there...
And real men watch their anime with filers...

I need to work on that recommendation section, working only the list of future anime...

A long anime done right: Fairy Tail.

After the big Tower of Heaven arc (which was the second major one after the early Zeref's Demons Arc) there's only a filler of 1 episode and then the third major arc comes immediately after.

Spoil me!!
Anyone watching Sekirei??
I think this was the best ep of both seasons, they explained everything down...
Quote: "To virgin, those breasts are just poison for the eyes."

Also high school of the boobs, to much boobs for one's own health and they finally got that big ass truck movin...

Fairy Tail: Guess who's back in town and looking for trouble?? Also He's a big cheater locking all the big players away from the game...
