i like 2003 too but in my opinion:
manga > brotherhood > 2003 series
(mostly because 2003 has no conclusion and the 'movie',that has 2003's ending, isn't that good)
Comment has been collapsed.
I like the start of 2003 better.
imo its much better paced then brotherhood and gets you alot more invested in the characters.
The scene when huges dies and his daughter is crying at the funeral "why are they burying daddy? I don't like it he has important work to do when he wakes up and he can't do it if hes burried" etc got me in the 2003 version
but yeah brotherhood has a much better end and the animation is better and all that.
Comment has been collapsed.
i agree that's why i made one of my friends watch the first ~10 episodes of 2003 til where Hughes dies and then let her watch fma:b without continuing the 2003 series because i don't like the dad's crazy exgirlfriend villain
Comment has been collapsed.
i'm not a fan of the 2003's ending, and really don't like the follow up movie. Brotherhood stricly follows the manga, which has a better ending. But it's good that you have watched 2003 first. this way you can invested in the characters more, because brotherhood feels more shounen (more focused on action part) and fastly skips the first part of the story in 2 3 episodes
Comment has been collapsed.
A man of good taste I see.
FMA: B is a great anime, and it's really an excellent example of a manga/anime which doesn't overrun it's lifespan. It stuck with what it initially set out to do and it excelled at it.
Comment has been collapsed.
*woman
While i agree i still like manga better because characters have more time to develop, and FMA:B's first couple episodes rushes a little too much imo. (and i know that's because they didn't want to bore anyone who watched FMA 2003, but it's bad for someone who directly jumps into FMA:B without checking the 2003 series)

+1 for Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Shinichirō Watanabe is straight up genius, he's got a gift for blending great anime with amazing soundtracks (RIP Nujabes)

+1 Samurai Champloo. It's the only anime I ever enjoyed thoroughly.
Comment has been collapsed.
GiTS:SAC is probably my fav anime, and Bebop and Noir are up there too. I've heard good thinks about Samurai Champloo as well. I will have to put Trigun on my radar. Have you seen Serial Experiments Lain?

Nope! That's a jarring absence in my list of viewed things. I always hear good things about it, so it might be what I watch next.

I never watch anime, I don't like them at all, but you should check out Kubo and the Two Strings. It's probably the only anime I've ever liked, so this obviously means it's really good. ;P
Comment has been collapsed.
Then probably that's why I liked it?! xD
Still, I googled to see if it's an anime before suggesting it here and I found that it was being called an anime many times.

Never watch anime?
Blacklist, report, ignore, call the police...
Comment has been collapsed.
I just don't like them. ;_; They all look similar to me. The expressions, the faces, the battles, etc. :/ If I want to watch animations, I'll watch stop motion or classic Disney cartoons or anything else really. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
That's a very valid point, because huge amounts of anime is essentially the same, just like any form of media. I only tend to like ones that I like the style of, such as cowboy bebop and jojo's bizarre adventure
Comment has been collapsed.
A mere example out of many: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBJSYEk6uD8
And it's not like I didn't try to like them. I tried, I watched some, but I really hated them. ;_;
Comment has been collapsed.
But you don't watch anime for the animations, you watch it for the story and characters ._. 😔
Comment has been collapsed.
Which I also don't like, although I can't talk about every anime ever! :P
Tried to watch Dragonball, Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, etc., you know, all the famous ones, but I got bored. With Dragonball especially, I got mad to the point that I couldn't understand how could anyone watch this. ;_;
And something that looks so identical to each other, just doesn't make you watch it.
Comment has been collapsed.
don'T watch shounen then, the animes you mention are all shounen. Try seinen or slice of life or comedy
edit: To anyone who reads this, i'm not attacking on shounen genre, i personally love shounen. But they are usually way too much alike 'hero gets beat down, hero uses power of friendship etc'
Comment has been collapsed.
Are these things full of kitty ears or "no storyline, only boobs" or "be my master" or tentacles and things like that? xD Because you better not suggest me these things. xD
As I said below:
I like animation like Mary and Max, Corpse Bride, Boxtrolls, Futurama, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, etc. They're one of their kind. ^_^
Comment has been collapsed.
seinen is action but for the adult (+20) audience. Slice of life is what it means. usually no powers normal people's life.
"no storyline, only boobs" = ecchi/hentai if you were wondering
and kitty ears = Neko/nekomimi
Comment has been collapsed.
You didn't understand. I said that you should NOT suggest me these things.
Comment has been collapsed.
no i understand, i just stated the terms so you can avoid it
(btw while seinen is no echhi or hentai, most of them still includes lots of boobs unfortunately)
Comment has been collapsed.
Look, so there's no misunderstanding, I love boobs. Who doesn't? But I don't intend to watch something that it's only about boobs and has no storyline at all or it's all about masters and such. xD There are porn sites for that. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You think you know anything similar to Kubo and the Two Strings? I could give a try to anything similar.
And, from anime games, I only like D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die. Really nice game, but also weird. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm something similar to Kubo, i can not think one right now but i can suggest you some series
Rurouni Kenshin is amazing, but it falls more into shounen genre which you dislike.
i will strongly suggest you this one. It's my second suggestion on this post and only 12 episodes.
Comment has been collapsed.
Rurouni Kenshin = anime creators don't have a lot of imagination, do they?
Boku dake ga inai machi = watched the trailer, but didn't find it interesting. Even watched a "funny" scene, but didn't find it funny at all. Do you have an interesting video of it to show me? Let me warn you though that I'm probably the last man on Earth who would watch anime, so it'll be a huge accomplishment if you'd persuade me. xD They'll never reach the glory of Disney. :'(

i don't understand what you mean ._.
i think the trailers doesn't make the anime justice, i suggest you to watch the first episode.
i don't mind that if you don't want to watch anime at all, i mean everyone has different taste after all.
Comment has been collapsed.
Speaking of Disney, if you want to try something more Disney-esque, perhaps you should look into some Studio Ghibli works.
As far as anime in general goes, there are about as many genres of anime as there are genres of any other type of show, animated or not, so instead of trying out some random anime based on their perceived popularity, perhaps a better approach would be for you to note the genres of the stuff you do like, and then use that as a filter to possibly find some anime that would keep your interest (or to help others to give you more relevant suggestions).
Another thing to keep in mind is that animation and design styles for anime have shifted over time (just like other forms of media) so if there is a particular aesthetic you are looking for, you may want to try some older series. In my own experience, I've generally found that stuff from the 80s and early 90s look different than stuff from the late 90s to early 2000s, and then different again from stuff from the late 2000s onward.

Challenge accepted!
Try Monster, Mushishi, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Usagi Drop or if you want something more action-oriented Black Lagoon and we'll talk again 😈

1) Checked the trailer. My reaction wasn't that bad, but it still wasn't that interesting. Just imagine the same trailer with real actors - would you really wanna see that? By the way, totally irrelevant, but the Monster (2003) movie was really nice (since they have the same title). xD
2) Not like I understood much from the trailer, but it doesn't look like my kind of thing. Entities going around, the characters looking at them in awe, some personal drama I guess, etc. :P
3) Yeah, like we didn't have enough earthquake-related movies already, we needed earthquake-related anime tv series too. xD Watched the trailer, couldn't interest me less than that.
4) So, he raises a kid that isn't his, changes attitude, etc. Seen similar things a million times already. xD
5) A group of mercenaries, defying the laws of nature in order for the battles to look more badass, trying to battle the rich guys, etc. Yeah, saw this thing a million times too. :P The Blue Lagoon was much more interesting. xD
So, only Monster didn't look that bad, but I'm still not sure at all. xD

Stop trying to watch shounen (teenage boy) fighting anime then.
Anime (animation) is a medium, not a genre. Try a drama or romance or w/e it is you're into.
Also, Kubo is an American movie.

But, if you never watch Anime how did you see Kubo and the Two Strings?

I will say that to almost everybody who says s/he don't like anime: try Cowboy Bebop. It's scifi, it's western, it has great humor... and a sad, but fitting end.

well it's alright , i saw samurai x (rurouni kenshin) , when i was 9 years old. i was instantly hooked to his code of honor and his behavior, his gentle way of speaking etc, ive never been able to develop a personality for myself so i make it a point to learn the good things i see from the anime protagonists and apply it to real life also i think im a little weeb , i love how they overcome impossible situations with using determination to fuel their fire!! im sorry i never grew up since then haha

Neon Genesis Evangelion. You cannot get more lasting than that…
Ergo Proxy …unless you are Ergo Proxy.
Elfen Lied. When you want something that is truly 100% fucked up.
Revolutionary Girl Utena. When you are tired of the gore and mindfuck.
Kino No Tabi. When you really want to relax and listen to simple, good stories on human nature.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. When you want to feel smart unravelling a complex plot and still getting a curveball thrown in your face, despite seeing the damn title 26 times already.
Death Note. When you want to see more deus ex machinas needlessly prolonging the plot than in every Greek drama ever written.

Elfen Lied
Oh, that looks like a cute anime. A man. Wow, okay, that's some brutal gunfight there. Okay, it looks like it was the worse of the violence I'll see in this anim- what. Why... limbs.

Watched it and it was a bit of disappointment.. it had a really nice build up and potential and I don't know why but the ending - late "game" of the anime didn't convince me, it was just a little predictable and not really out of the world... maybe it was the villain or something.. But it had great potential and overall I enjoyed it, I just get the feeling that it could be better :b

So much this. Not saying it's my favorite Ghibli but certainly the most emotional anime ever for me.

Actually one of the few I have not seen yet. Will catch up on it. My favs so far are Spirited Away, Mononoke, Nausicaä and Totoro. But all of them are lovely.

I'm not actually that big a fan of Totoro.
Porco Roso is my favorite, and I think Kiki's Delivery Service is very underrated
Comment has been collapsed.
Honestly I've not had big expectations with Porco Roso, somehow the plot and the pig did not appeal to me, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Kiki is lovely and was one of the first Ghiblis I've seen. Totoro is quite playful, like Kiki or Ponyo, but just cute imho ^^. Personally I'm not a big fan of Howl's Moving Castle, I don't get along with the main characters.

Yeah, I think Howl's overrated. Not bad, mind you, just on the lower end of the Ghibli spectrum

Then you also have amazing taste in Quality series .
I still think to this day , that Code Geass was one of the greatest animes ever created .
Ignoring all the spinoff nonsense ...
I just hope that 3rd season thats coming wont ruin everything tho
Comment has been collapsed.
I actually recommended it to a friend this past weekend. Been a while since I've watched it so I'll probably be rewatching it soon. I do have some hope for the 3rd season as they've managed to make a second season that was better than the first, so hopefully they at least maintain the same standard if not make this one even better. But then again it has been a while since the second season so who knows what to expect.

I had a post about what i tough is going to happen in season 3 on the MAIL discussion page ... which literally got removed cause i angered far to many people with it D:
Lets say that my idea of how Either Lulu or C.C turns bad ... How Suzaku is now the Geass holder and how Nunally kills C.C in the end may have angered a bunch of people ...
Lets just hope im wrong , cause im flipping a table out the window if anything i said was right , especially the last part :|

Thing is there are a lot of people who really hate Suzaku so making him the protagonist would be a bit too risky.

Steins;Gate. To this day, I still think about it from time to time and realize some little detail I missed, and my mind is blown once again. Seriously, if you want something that's going to keep you up all night thinking about it after watching the last episode, go with Steins'Gate.
Little Busters! Refrain. Not that good, but it had a nice little twist to it which made me re-think the entire anime once I was done watching it. Also, Watch the original Little Busters! first (Refrain is a sequel).
Can't think of any other anime with a "lasting impression", other than maybe some generic, obvious stuff like Clannad + After Story, or Cory in the House.

Think about playing the VN, anime is too compressed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably better if you don't mind all the reading, yeah. I only can afford to play free VNs so I've never actually played the original VN of the anime I've listed here. If you're into VNs, I'd suggest checking out Lucid9 on Steam. It's free and short, but pretty impressive. Also Katawa Shoujo, but I'm pretty sure anyone who reads VNs would know about this one. :P

Sure, I only mentioned it because there are some significant differences between Steins' VN and anime.
