I need some anime.

[asmidir]

Hi fellow escapists,

Anyone who read my topic about Lucky Star know about what happened when I introduced the series to my schools anime club (big WTF). Anyway, it's my turn again to pick an anime an all the ones I think of have been done. So far we've watched:

Lucky Star
Squid Girl (bigger WTF)
Gundam seed
Bleach
Naruto
One Piece
Gurren Lagann
Death Note
Fruit Basket
Anzumanga Diaoh
Shuffle (that was awkward)
Original Pokemon (fuck yeah)
Highschool of the Dead
Are you a Zombie? (freaking awesome)

The list goes on but basiclly we have watched a lot of the popular mainstream animes. So I throw my hand to you fellow escapists. What are some anime I can bring to our anime club? I really don't want some big manly fighting or half naked questionable girls, i'm more looking for something funny and really........."japanesey" (besides the manly fights and naked girls).

I've gotta head off to school and do some silly environmental science test but when I come back I expect some answers........please.

Code Geauss:Lelouch rebellion (pretty sure i spelt that wrong)
It's good, me and my anime club used to watch it

 

[Zacharious-khan]

urutsukidoji Legend of overfiend

 

[derdeutschmachine]

seitokai yakuindomo
if you don't laugh... you're not human

 

[Wuffykins]

I will say Macross.

Mecha is Japanese-sy. Mecha is cool.

Granted, the main ones you'll see that is released outside of Japan is the original 80's series and the 4 part mini series Macross Plus. DEFINITELY look into Macross Plus, though Funny wouldn't be the word.

Proper suggestion though would be to try Love Hina. Somehow the opening credits just seem to set the tone of the series pretty well.

urutsukidoji Legend of overfiend

Tsk tsk. Let's not be introducing them into that genre just yet.

LOL I hope they make a second season

And OP go check out seitokai no ichizon

I think its what your looking for.

 

[PMorgan18]

Code Geass, Baccano!, Natsume Yuujinchou, Spice and Wolf, and you can't go wrong with Hetalia.

 

[Wierdguy]

Phantom - Requiem for the Phantom -

Well worth watching.

 

[Charli]

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is where? Get out of here and go start it now if you haven't.

Otherwise I'll throw in some additional support for Code Geass. It's a very interesting one if you can get behind it.

 

[Project Uziel]

While the Endings to some of these Animes Made Me want to Put my Foot Through my TV, They are still worth a Watch.

Hajime No Ippo (Really good one)
Soul Eater
Hellsing
Hellsing Ultimate (^classics^)
Trinity Blood
Guyver ova. Series
Black Lagoon
Darker Then Black
Seikon no Qwaser
Ergo Proxy
Gurren Laggan
Witchblade
Fairy Tail
S-cry-Ed
Blue Gender
Air Gear
Elfien Lied

 

[thrillingsuspense]

How is there no FLCL? It should only take like two hours! DO IT!

 

[iamthelizardqueen88]

Black Cat
S-cry-ED
or Eden of the East (thats the top 3 i got right off the top of my head)

 

[One Seven One]

K-ON!! (There are two seasons)
Cromartie High School (I recommend watching it in English)
He is My Master
Kamichama Karin
Karin
Nagasarete Airantou

And since you watched shuffle, here's something a little less school friendly.
School Days

And really?
You introduced them to Lucky Star?
I really can't belive they hadn't heard of it.

 

[Tautology]

Planetes, Toradora, or His and Her Circumstances.

Also Eden of the East. It's awesome.

 

[gigastar]

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (pretty sure i spelt that wrong)
It's good, me and my anime club used to watch it

Fixed it for you.

Also adding that as my reccomendation.

 

[Psymon138]

Spice and Wolf is an interesting show. Given the choice between wolfgirl fanservice and a discussion of pre-industrial economics, it'll choose the economics almost every time. And yet it remains a fascinating and exciting show. Watch it.

Something a little different from what you've watched: Ouran High School Host Club. A sort of piss take of the shojou anime and the tropes the genre often uses. Good story, fun characters and you will laugh your arse off the whole way through.

I will say Macross.

Mecha is Japanese-sy. Mecha is cool.

Second that on Macross. The story is pretty good and maturely told.

I'd also recommend Initial D if you want something anime that's 'normal' and has accurate racing terms (to the best of my knowledge).
