Anime Advise

[dramaking]

I'm not a huge fan of anime, but I have recently run out of good television shows and I realized I had completely stopped watching anime.
I don't have much of a knowledge about anime's but I know types that I like.

So if any one has any advise I would really like it, especially if you could tell me of a medium of watching it.
I'm not a big fan of anime humor, and, for whatever reason, Naruto has little to no interest to me. I liked the old anime "Gundam Wing: Mobile Suit", so that may say some thing of my taste. I like the "Hellsing" plot, but it had far too much language in the only copy I could find.

I have heard that the "Trigun" anime was good, however I missed it.
If any one has any good advise for a good anime show, preferably one that is fairly clean and fits the style of the aforementioned ones.
The people on this forum know more about anime than some anime writers, and I am sure you know some thing that we might be able to see.

What about Inuyasha?

What about Inuyasha?

I would prefer shows (or manga's) that are still in active producing. Or at least modern. I have spent most of my life watching finished stories and I would like to be watching one that hasn't ended for a change.


Thanks for the tip though, I definitely will check into it

There is also Hikaru No Go.

I recommend Avatar: the Last Airbender, even though many would argue that it isn't authentic anime from Japan (it's American so teh words and the characters' words match) If you choose to try Avatar, start from teh beginning and work your way to teh most recent ep. You'll the plot better. I would say that it's pretty clean. No gorey violence, swearing, or nudity.

I'd reccomend Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX but regular Yu-Gi-Oh! I'd preffer more because it is soooo cooool.

.Oh look, I'm back haven't posted in a while.

I know of two good anime that are still being made, of course I download them from subtitling groups, but the first one is out on DVD in the U.S.
Bleach
Nana
both are really great, go to Anime News Network to find out about them or google.
I wouldn't recommend bleach if you get offended by a little cussing or blood and Nana's characters are a bit on the Umm...wild side. Anyway, those are pretty current.

Trigun is indeed one of the best anime I have ever seen. If you are a sci-fi fan, you should enjoy it.

Other good titles:

Haibane Remnei
FLCL
Gunslinger Girl
Paranoia Agent
Princess Mononoke
Serial Experiments Lain

I can't believe you don't like Naruto >_>

Trigun is pretty good.

Bleach is probably the best anime out there other then Naruto IMO.

FMA is fun to watch.

Cowboy Bebop (and Samurai Champloo even tho is almost an exact copy) are also enjoyable.

I'm watching Prince of Tennis right now...it is surprisingly good for a tennis anime. I've heard that One Piece is one of the most popular anime/manga series *ever* in Japan...but haven't really watched it too much.

I would say Cowboy Bebop because it seems to fit in with the other ones you mentioned pretty well. The first things that come to mind besides that are s-cry-ed and Bleach.

 

[NamiNeko]

it depends on what kind of anime you like
romance, comedy, action, horror, drama etc. Once I know that I can give you a list of recommended anime

Examples of my taste are found in the OP

 

[NamiNeko]

I know I read that, but you didn't really specify the genre

That is because I don't like a specific genre. I can't find one "group" that I prefer. All I have is examples...though I suppose I like drama and action most. It's possible, of course, that I am wrong.
