Gintama best anime

[MazingerZ]

I'm currently reading Toriko.

It is like Dragonball Z meets Food Network.

It's a very hard to point the best anime i have watched.
The manga would be BERSERK . Hands down, the coolest thing i have read.
I wached a lot of good  animes, probably something like:
Great Teacher Onizuka
Code Geass
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan (probably wrote it wrong again)
Baccano/Durarara
FMA:Brotherhood
Bakemonogataki/Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei/Dance in the vampire bind

Probably tons more

I recently got interested in looking into anime and due to the amount of recommendations in this thread checked out Code Geass, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Berserk.I have to say that Bebop and FMA:B have been extraordinary thus far, I was less of a fan of Geass which I dropped after two episodes. I've only watched a single episode of Berserk, but it was quite intense and definitely peaked my interest. Many thanks for all the posts in this thread, really got me curious about some of the shows mentioned

I'm currently in the middle of season 1 D-Gray Man. I'm really enjoying it so far. The characters are fun, the action is intense and the plot line is very interesting in a dark way.

There is also a new three-part movie arc "Berserk: The Golden Age."
(with part three yet to be released).

They are both really good, but with the movies sticking so close to the original anime series, I have enjoyed Berserk: The Golden Age more perhaps because of the refreshing art style.

Anyone else reading One Punch Man?

watching Shingeki no Kyojin atm. Excellent so far

[xarallei]

Yup, I can't praise Shingeki enough. It's a really great series. Damn, youtube took down the SnK OP video I posted before. >_< So here it is again:


And once again you can watch legally (and for free though you will be a week behind those of us with crunchyroll accounts and you have commercials) on Hulu and Crunchyroll:

I think we're far enough into the current season for me to give my top picks.

1. Hataraku Maou-sama - Funny comedy that plays around with your standard fantasy stereotypes. There's a laugh every episode.
2. Suisei no Gargantia - There's something about this show that makes it really enjoyable to me. The art is good and the characters are interesting.
3. Kakumeki Valvrave - Gundam more or less. Some cliches here and there and themes that will be familiar to Gundam fans.
4. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S - Continuation of the Railgun series. Liked the first one, so far enjoying this.
5. Yahari Ore no Seishun LoveCome wa Machigatteiru - Slice of life comedy. The interactions between the apathetic main character, the serious ice queen and the normal girl are funny.

Don't know how many of you watched the new Evangelion rebuild movie, but my advice is - lower your expectations before you go into this one. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

I'm only watching 3 anime from this new(er) season:

Suisei no Gargantia - the main story is shaping up to have a decent closure and more importantly it will impact the main character in a meaningful way, but they spent too much time on fanservice for me to take them seriously. Normally I wouldn't mind fanservice if it's interwoven nicely with the rest, but this was a show where you had a beginning with some story and character development, a middle with no story development, some character development and a ton of fanservice, and then back to story/char development at the end. Overall the flow wasn't to my liking. Maybe if it had more episodes I could more easily overlook the filler fan service stuff.

Shingeki no Kyojin - I was very impressed by the start of the show and the prospect of "no one is safe" in a shounen-ish story, but apparently they decided to plot armor the main character. There are explanations for this borderline ass pull and there was a bit of foreshadowing, but they'll have to spend way too much time on it to make it believable and it has lowered my enjoyment of the show. A simple, yet impactful horror story that was established by the first 2 episodes would have been better imo.

Chihayafuru season 2 - it's a continuation of the show I watched a year or so ago, about a group of kids playing the Japanese card game karuta. I kinda don't like the the 2 new characters that were introduced and the amount of time they used up to portray just one karuta tournament, but overall it's pretty much the same sort of stuff that was established in season 1 with a bigger budget this time around (guess the DVD/BR's sold well).
