Obligitory Animes Thread

gundam wing was most people's first gundam series I'm sure. I'd recommend G Gundam, Gundam X, Gundam 00, Code Geass, and Gurren Lagann for mech shows (though its not the main focus in code geass)

Thanks I will goes through those.

While I am asking questions, does anyone know of any actually scary anime? Like ghost hunt or Another kinda scary.

G Gundam I could understand but I don't think Gundam X and Gundam 00 are any less realistic than Gundam Wing is. Gundam 00 even has a similar plot (5 main pilots who claim to be anti-war but are basically terrorists)

I've seen '79 Gundam, G Gundam and Gundam Wing. So far, they were all really good (Wing seemed to have a lot of dialogue, but good nonetheless). G Gundam was a sudden turn in terms of plot, lol.

What are the best mecha based anime?

I highly recommend Cyborg 009, it was OH SO GOOD imho. I haven't seen 009-1 yet, but that one looks promising.

bleach was just a knockoff of an original anime anyway. i'm glad it's ending. hopefully people will stop obsessing over it. so sad no one knows about yu yu Hakisho.

Its sad, it was originally going to go on. as this was only "Half" of the epoc, then it started sucking. I never liked Bleach at all but I did enjoy the first arc....with the hollow concept vs dead humans with Rukia telling what to do... I mean, she doesn't deserve to fall under the debris of the series' failure. She is my favourate character and possibly favourate female protagonist. Where as Ichigo's flat out boring and Johnny Young Bosch as good as he is, makes him sound boring to listen to. He's 15 and acts like he's 40 socially...as if he hates his office job.

Now if only Naruto would just wrap it up. (Preparing my Flameshield) I mean, rumors of a series of Naruto AFTER shippuden floating around... I disagree with people claiming Naruto is "So deep and mentally/psychollogically Complex." People it's not. It's Shounen Jump. Just because random things pop up out of no where and are convoluted into plot conveniences doesn't mean it's deep.

Well, especially when there are far better lesser known shows out there that done use the typical generic stereotype anime has thanks to shonen in general. In end, I want the big three titles to rotate a bit. DBZ and Shamen King steped down as they stayed strong. Pass the torch to new shows. (and I dont mean clones like HunterxHunter or Fairy Tale.)

gundam wing. Raxephon. Evangelion. just to name a few. i don't know if Mai-Hime really counts but it has some mecha elements. but i guess it's mostly fantasy.

I never liked Gurran Lagann personally. I dont see why it so highly recieved outside of the female lead's body.(Personal Bias)
I did like Escaflowne on the other hand, a classic and underrated IMO... were as Eureka 7 bored me... and SD Gundam Force is just.. lolwut? Horrible.

um. higurashi. i haven't seen it yet but i heard it's a psycho-thriller. boogiepop phantom is up there along with Serial experiment Lain as well. once again these are more psycho-thrillers with horror elements in it. it's hard to achieve the horror effect in anime. gantz and blue gender are a couple others as well. i think that's all that i can immediately think of.
