Obligitory Animes Thread

I agree with everything you just said Reptile.

Don't forget to add Future Diary to your itinerary. The main character does some stupid things but even he can't spoil the proceedings, the show is good in spite of him.

I really liked the GiTS movie but haven't really gotten into the show. What could you tell me to get me to watch it? Which is the first season and what's the timeline like in relation to the film?

Don't let the TNA of Major Kusanagi fool you. The series is very well written and extremely cerebral. Some of the most annoying characters (tachikomas) have the deepest conversations. It's technological, philosophical, political and has excellent character development. It's a show you actually have to pay attention to or you could miss something pivotal at any given moment. Like Sherlock Holmes novels it has a story with such mystery and suspense but enough clues to keep you solving the situation alongside the characters. Best series ever! Not just counting Anime.
First Season - GITS Stand Alone Complex
Second - GITS S.A.C. Second Gig.
Third - GITS S.A.C. Sold State Society

Funny of all the animes I have watched, the only anime that seems atleast from memory legit best story....is Monster.

So as much as I like a good amount of what I have seen, admittedly it's mediocre at best.

Can't wait for Koreans to start making anime. They know how to write.

Try the manga 20th Century Boys. Same guy as Monster. He also made Pluto. This guy is great at pacing.

Well Hubbs, ill let you know that i am watching Fairy tail & One Piece right now. Some people dislike the art style so im not sure if those would interest you, but the story and characters are developed pretty well. Also, they both are still on-going. One Piece is about 660 episodes in, and Fairy Tail is about 145. If you are want to try it, Fate Zero was pretty good, no lolis as you asked, and was about 2 seasons long ( about 26 episodes).

Have you tried sport based anime like EyeShield 21, or Prince of Tennis? Those were pretty good. Not really to sure on what else to suggest. Im sure the others in the thread could give you more to look into.

I'll check out fairy tale and fatezero. Thanks.

Thanks a lot jdub. One last question, are these continuations, prequels or a separate universe from the film?
