Anime

[squid5580]

Like Razor said, Baccano is good.

Also, I just started watching Hellsing. Looks pretty interesting.

Original or the OVA, Hellsing Ultimate which just got released....I would say recently but its been a year or 2?

Me? I'm watching the original. I've heard OVA isn't that good...

The OVA is over 9000 times better than the original

And check here it will give you a taste of some different anime

i like bleach, but hate when they force you to watch the back-stories of the bad guy,

I am currently looking for new Anime to watch, but sadly every person recommends me Bleach and Naruto. Apart from disliking these series I really don't want to watch Anime I am not going to finish for a long long looooong time.
I have so far watched and loved the following Dubs in order;
Elfen Lied
Gantz
Afro Samurai
Half of Death Note (last stretch annoyed me)
Soul Eater
Full Metal Alchemist(cant stand brotherhood because of first one)
Cowboy Beebo
Samurai Champloo
Code Geass: LR 1&2

Would you kindly recommend me some Anime please?

Sekirei has a dub so you might like it.

Boondocks, because it's hilarious.

Man cant wait for the 4th season (if it really is gonna happen)

 

[Marik2]

Air Gear is alright, but you have to read the manga to finish it (or catch up to speed) but man the fanservice on that one...

The fanservice pales in comparison to ikkitousen *shudders*

 

[PureChaos]

Kuroshitsuji is really good, second season is a bit weird(er) but it's a good anime

i'd also recommend Kiba, Wolf's Rain, Jyu Oh Sei and InuYasha (though that one is a bit long)

1: Most main steam anime (The mega-hits that go for 300+ episodes? Yeah, those ones) is simply out done by it's own manga. Stories like Naruto are completely ruined by generally badly handled anime. I genuinely like most of the manga, but the anime is almost unwatchable. Bleach is pretty much the same.

2: FMA: Brotherhood is perfectly watchable, and I certainly prefer it over the original because it doesn't leave gaping plot holes and most of the plot lines built out of convenience are done away with. Then again I also skipped straight to the new content.

3: Everything else? Generally I'd recommend Japanese dubs w/ English subs whenever you can help it. Often times they're just better. It's not always the case, but not everything gets to be Cowboy Beebop. Often times though there's just things in Japanese conversation that just do not translate well into English.

And some recommendations...

Baccano
Gurren Lagan
Ruroni Kenshin
Trigun
Foolie Coolie
Black Lagoon
Ghost in the Shell (SAC)
Anyone with Miyazaki's name attached to it, or Studio Ghibli.

And some more.... questionable ones. Watch them at your own risk and expect brain fucks as a result of having watched them. Generally I'd avoid trying to digest too many episodes at once. I watched Evangellion in one sitting and that damn show fucked me up for at least two weeks.

Neon Genesis Evangellion.
Serial Experiments LAIN.
Ghost in the Shell (movies)
Welcome to the NHK
Ergo Proxy

Of course on the other hand these shows might just fly over your head. Ergo Proxy I had to read explanations to pick up on everything, and I literally fell asleep watching the second Ghost in the Shell movie. After forcing myself to stay awake when I watched it again I just got a migrane from it.

Elfen Lied convince me to like it. ready go

It's terrible. Gaping plot holes and shameless fan service crammed right into the middle of what's supposed to be serious plot construction, a plot line that utterly deviates from the source material because the director felt "just cuz." It's a mess of an anime and the only people who legitimately think its good are being distracted by the gratuitous gore.

 

[MrGalactus]

Boondocks, because it's hilarious.

Its awesome but does it count?

Uhhhhh...I dunno. It's the only one I enjoy, so maybe not. It looks like one! What constitutes an Anime?

Thank you so much for that, my friends think there is something wrong with me like I am an alien or something just for not liking it.(hating it with every bone in my body)

Also Naruto does hold much more strong in manga from the failure of an anime, it made me ill the first time seen it.

That might be generalizing. There are many problems I have with Elfenlied, but what it does well it does very, very well.

I also think that most people today confuse any kind of nudity in anime as fanservice. The nudity in Elfenlied is no more fanservice than the nudity in Ghost in the Shell is.

That said there is plenty that I hate about the show: The character design is bland and boring, but then so is that of the manga. And the lore of Elfenlied is convoluted and stupid.

 

[vato_loco]

Awesome reccomendations so far. If you want to know some names based on specific styles of anime, send me a private message, I've seen a shit lot of anime...

 

[Phrytar]

RahXephon is pretty good, as well as Eureka Seven.

 

[One Seven One]

Higurashi no naku koro ni is pretty good, it's kind of a long term thing since it has three seasons and the first season is about 26 episodes long.
Although, with the first season, it breaks it up every 4/5 episodes so you can come back any time.

Cromartie High school Is incredibly funny.

Spoiler: Part of episode one

School Days, One of my personal favorites.

Karin, Karin is a girl who is, in a sense of the word, a vampire.

K-ON!! - A good comedy/Slice of life anime about five girls who make a band.

-Anime Movies-

Paprika - A very weird, psychological kind of movie.

Perfect Blue - A horror, drama movie that I have yet to watch, so I can't tell you much about it.

I just love School Days.

But, let's be honest :

That was my favorite part of the series; it was so... unexpected given it was all happy and such before.

The ending still creep me out though..
I was watching it with my mouth wide open all the way through.
