Hmmms, I'm weird: I do enjoy anime, but I'm not obsessed with it.
If I happen to come across a serie, I will like it and most likely continue binge watching.
But if for some reason I don't, I simply don't watch any for months/years.
I'm probably the same. I also can't watch any that have more than 2 seasons or more than 50 episodes.
I don't fancy those seemingly endless anime where a fight scene lasts a whole week. ;)
Seirei no Moribito / Cowboy Bebop / Legend of Galactic Heroes / Monster, and many more, let me know if you'd like a thorough list/ratings. But I've kinda stopped watching from last year. :P New releases do not attract me any more....
Thought Attack on Titan was pretty okay for a while but the story was progressing in a really awkward manner where a salute was given like half an episode and flashbacks were constantly happening during the middle of action sequences. Not sure if it's all anime or just AoT that does this but I stopped watching once they changed the intro song.
Watching Steins;Gate at the moment.
Seems very interesting. I love time travel movies/series when it's well thought out.
Hopefully it doesn't let me down.
Some people dislike steins;gate because they saw only some of first eps and it's boring for them but i think that these eps are good introducion for amazing story of this anime.
If you are one of these guys who loves amazing story i highly recommend Kiseijuu, Higurashi no naku koro ni and FMA:Brotherhood
Figured this might be the best place to ask, sorry if I guessed wrong :)
Anyone happens to know how that serie is called about that guy that reanimates his dead cat and some dead girl he may/may not love?
(I swear, I'm not a perv! I just remembered I used to watch the first few episodes, and then stopped for some reason)

Unpopular opinion: My favourite is Initial D. What sounds like Hentai at first, is actually a neat and lovely-animated anime about drifting. Worth a shot for every JDM/car guy.
I mean, there's a whole lot of prejudice surrounding it, I liked from Baccano that while it has exposition is not as overly expositiony as most animes (I dunno what's with the trope of people telling you EVERYTHING that is going on and through their heads) it's true tho that the narrative style is unconventional but well. Durarara is from the same guy and I found it good too, and more down to earth than Baccano!
I enjoyed Durarara as well. Less thought provoking, but good still.
For my fiance, I got her to start by watching Samurai Shamploo. With each person it's different shows that would appeal to them.
But if you recommend the wrong show, you may have lost them to anime for good.
I actually started with Shamploo, but I couldn't get past the art style, and yeah, you have to know how the person is and what he likes because most of the time we associate all the anime with some few examples, and as happens with Western animation too, is often considered childish.
So if you recommend someone who doesn't like high school girls antics, let's say Madoka, that guy won't ever wach anything again.
Yeah, I don't get a lot of why there's a substantial amount of anime revolving around schoolgirls Well, technically I do know why :D
Surprisingly, my fiance enjoys animated superhero movies, mostly the Batman and Justice League ones. Maybe anime comes across as too perby or childish, I don't know.
The animated SH movies are the shit tbh. I've watched most of them and some of the Batman ones are great ( The one he's old and fight against Superman for example) and the Justice League ones rule too, I LOVED the Flashpoint Paradox.
I think it has to do how people maybe identify anime with weebs (as MLP is linked to bronies) and to be honest weebs ( as any other fandom who takes things too seriously, like Superwholocks or whatever) are really offputing.
Rorouni Kenshin was really cool, but just a little bit too long for me.
It should've ended after the battles with Shishio Makoto and his crew.
The last battles weren't as intense.
Anime or manga? as in the anime, it entered filler hell after the Kyoto arc and basically got canceled before the author could finish the real final arc in the manga
That and I felt in general it avoided the modern shounen pitfalls.
The anime. Haven't read much manga.
Perhaps I should get those for the end of Rorouni Kenshin.
I'm trying to get my hands on the Darker than Black manga...but difficult to source.
I'm not much of an anime fan myself but I recently just finished watching Eyeshield 21 and it's just too awesome! Sad that they'd wrap up the anime right after the semi-finals. They should at least show until the end of Christmas Bowl =.='
The positive reviews and minimalistic design is what intrigued me in the first place. Hopefully it's a good puzzle game! Anyways, thanks again for the key! Cheers, have a great weekend ahead ^^

Oh my god, don't get me started... Remember DBZ?
First 15 min: Recap of previous episodes, like 5 whole minutes of an episode, followed by like a 15 minute previous of the next episodes Q.Q
I actually liked DBZ, but I just stopped bothering watching it because a single fight would last over a week. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I recall hanging out with my friends when we were younger, and as soon as DBZ came on, they ran home.
Not cool. ;)

They ran?
Did they live like 20 minutes away? =p

They live within a stretch of a 1km road.
But yeah, they literally ran. Never got the hype.

Not too badly rated. I'll read some reviews before checking it out.
Thanks

Check out After Story too.
Basically, Clannad is life in high school and Clannad After Story is life after that.

I'm actually not keen on anime much, but a friend has been buggering me lately to watch stuff and I really enjoyed DRRR, Baccano and Kekkai Sensen.
I also watched stuff like Shingeki no kuno, which is like horseriding, the anime (Dunno what all the hype was about) and I should wath JoJo next.
Comment has been collapsed.
Baccano I've seen.
Was good, but not sure I enjoyed the ending.
Difficult to get people onboard with anime sometimes, but I've managed to convince a few with specific shows.
