AngelofDeath
08.18.10 | I agree; the show is quite awesome. Haven't seen much anime outside of what's gotten U.S. airplay though, so I doubt I can rec you anything you haven't seen. |

08.18.10 | ever seen monster? you could say it's basically the complete fucking opposite of samurai champloo in that it rewards close attention and attention to a fucking shitload of characters, lmao. it's one of my favorites. i think if you like the show 'the wire' you'll like it; they're not necessarily plot-wise or thematically similar but their way of introducing a bunch of different interweaving characters and plotlines is similar, to me. |

08.18.10 | i honestly dont watch very much anime but monster got me so hooked that i couldnt stop until i got to the end (it's pretty damn long, haha). my brothers are much more into that stuff; i'll post something else if it pops into my head.
the wire is also a suggested watch but once again takes a bit of time to watch (1 hour per episode, 13 episodes per season, 5 seasons, yeah (although really you can just watch one season)). but that's an american show, has nothing to do with anime--it's frequently cited as one of, if not the greatest show ever (off the top of my head, the fourth season got a 98 on metacritic). |

08.19.10 | The only anime I ever really got into was Full Metal Alchemist, but i guess you've probably seen that. |
Schizophrenik
08.19.10 | I've never heard of that, but it sounds interesting based on the name. I'll have to check it out when I have the time |

08.19.10 | hikaru no go i used to like at a very young age. i'm sure if i read it now i'd find it very stupid |

08.19.10 | inuyasha? no. fma gets progressively better (the new one isnt as good iirc; the old one is what im talking about); it starts kinda eh but gets REALLY good by the end |
Dryden
08.19.10 | dont watch any at all |
ShinXetsu
08.19.10 | Check out Cowboy Bebop, Hajime No Ippo, and Full Metal Alchemist : Brotherhood. I'd recommend the first FMA series but the plot wanks around too much in the middle and the ending makes you feel that you've completely wasted your time because of the inexcusable plot holes it leaves behind along with no sense of closure. |

08.19.10 | oops double post |

Nuff said |
Ovrot
08.19.10 | Yes. |
Ovrot
08.19.10 | I too, also suggest Monster.
Also, if you like epic try Gurren Lagenn. |
ShinXetsu
08.19.10 | Well there's also Berserk, Eureka Seven, and Great Teacher Onizuka. |
Ovrot
08.19.10 | Fire The Anti-Probablity Missiles!! |
MUNGOLOID
08.19.10 | awesome anime. will probably buy it on blu-ray eventually. |
Mordecai.
08.19.10 | yeah great show. love the hot bitches. |
NOTINTHEFACE
08.19.10 | That show rules. I sincerely hope you've seen Gungrave. I've watched it three times and i still hold that it's the greatest show ever made, Firefly notwithstanding. |
Ovrot
08.19.10 | Its from Gurren Lagann.
At the end of the series, when there in space and dimensions start to fuck up and gravity rapes people. |
MUNGOLOID
08.20.10 | if you're into animated heads blowing up and hentai sex scenes, check out Kite. |
