Recomend me an Anime

[TheRundownRabbit]

Ok, I now realize why people put these threads up.
Im looking for an anime show. Im in the mood for something in the near future, the setting kinda has a downtown Hong-Kong feeling, or something with cyber ninjas or whatever, and has like advanced technology and shit.
Can you help me out.

I just found a picture that planely describes what Imm looking for.

Spoiler

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Ghost in the Shell series. That's all I can think of currently.
You probably already saw it, though.

EDIT: I forgot Cowboy Bebop. I am ashamed.

 

[Dango]

Bokurano, it has quite a bit of that futuristic stuff, and a very compelling story.

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

Cowboy Bebop.

Not cyber ninjas, but futuristic.

 

[AnOriginalConcept]

Death Note or Code Geass. Both have well thought out stories and are set in the present or future.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Ghost in the Shell.
Tekkaman Blade.
The Big O(Defiantly this)
Trigun(Its a western style but still really good)
Cowboy Bebop.
Cyborg 009.
G Gundam.

all these are really good.
Only The Big O and Cowboy Bebop have the Setting you mentions but all are futuristic with cool Tech and great stories.

 

[AvsJoe]

The movie Akira [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094625/] would be perfect for you.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Nothing under the description you listed. But I'm sure they're at least one.

 

[Polaris19]

Cowboy Bebop, or Ghost in the Shell are probably what your looking for.

 

[masseyguy911]

Ghost in the shell or Cowboy Beebop... thats really all I can think of, not to big of an anime fan.

 

[Judgement101]

Soul Eater
It haas NONE of what you asked but its awesome.

 

[rabidmidget]

Cowboy Bebop (especially this one)
Darker Than Black
Death Note
Code Geass
Ghost in the Shell

All of these take place in asia, with a futuristic or present setting.

Also, FLCL (Fooly Cooly), it doesn't fit your description, but watch it anyway.

 

[Master Kuja]

Monster.
Just...Monster.

It's like Death Note, just infinitely better in terms of plot, maturity, seriousness and character development.

Also, Code Geass, a thousand times.

 

[Timotei]

Again, I had to go and rip this from another thread.

These are the following anime I would recommend others.

Spoiler: Slice of Life

-Lucky Star
-The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
-K-On!
-School Rumble
-The Great Teacher Onizuka (bad production values, but a good show overall)
-Azumunga Daioh
-Midori Days
-Ouran High School Host Club
-ToraDora

And if you want a little spice in your Slice:
-Welcome to the NHK
-BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad

Spoiler: Action

-Cowboy Bebop (if you must watch one of them, watch this one)
-Outlaw Star
-Trigun
-Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
-Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team
-Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
-Baccano!
-Full Metal Panic!
-Darker Than Black
-Code Geass
-Desert Punk
-Gundam 00
-Hellsing Ultimate

Spoiler: Adventure

-Wolf's Rain
-Kino's Journey

Spoiler: Drama

-Rozen Maiden
-Now and Then, Here and There (very heavy show)
-Princess Tutu (give it a chance)

Spoiler: Mystery/Horror/Physiological thriller

-Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
-Death Note
-Red Garden
-Blue Gender
-Monster
-RIN ~Daughters of Mnemosyne~
-Paranoia Agent

Just my general recommendations.

If you want cyber-ninjas, you're kind of shit out of luck in the good shows. You'd have to start looking for smaller series. Hong Kong, I have yet to see one in Hong Kong.

 

[Firoth]

Ergo Proxy is the only thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned that might fit your criteria.

 

[Vek]

A.D. Police. Futuristic cop anime in which a special police force hunts down rogue androids. Kinda like Cops meets Blade Runner.

Freaking awesome; it was actually on tv daily when I was younger.

 

[Naheal]

I'm thinking that we should get a larger thread up for these, since we see this so often.
