Gizmo Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 To someone who hasn't watched much Anime in the past, what would be a good series to start with? I'm hearing good things about Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, and a few others. What would the NEurope faithful recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergrunch Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 My favourite anime are Higurashi no naku koro ni, Welcome to the NHK, Mai-HiME and Honey & Clover. Hikaru no go is also quite good, but I doubt you'd be interested if you aren't obsessed with the game of go, because that's all it's about. However, I think Mai-HiME would be good as a general introduction to anime, as it uses anime cliches well. Unless of course you want to see the greats first, in which case look at things like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Alchemist and the like.

Mr. Bananagrabber Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 To someone who hasn't watched much Anime in the past, what would be a good series to start with? I'm hearing good things about Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, and a few others. What would the NEurope faithful recommend? Personally I can't stand Naruto and all that. Azumanga Daioh is very, very good. It's critically acclaimed for a reason. It has almost no plot, it's about day to day life (with sudden bursts of insanity), it's strength lies in it's fantastic characters and their interactions. Just watch the first 2 episodes on Youtube, you'll be hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefkov Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I got that file I mentioned before and its a preview of the Deil May Cry anime. Not much apart from it saying there will be a Devil May Cry anime in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you're interested in reading a manga, Yotsuba is the best i've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higurashi isn't that funny, but it is awesome. Plus you have to love lines like "Kuso....... nano desu!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owario Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 So is there any anime or manga that's even remotely like Death Note? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 So is there any anime or manga that's even remotely like Death Note?Hmm, there's not many with that same brooding, intelligent style. You might like Monster, Spiral, Ergo Proxy, Code Geass, Ghost in the Shell SAC? They're not all the same kinda thing but they're smart, brutal and well animated.

Mr. Bananagrabber Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Interested in Azumanga Diaoh. Doooooooooo it. I didn't like the first episode all that much, but from the second one onwards it's fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Coolio new Dragon Ball MMO coming out in 2008 from Bandia,looks good so far.Really hope this get's released outside of Japan. Today, Bandai Visual announced that Akira Toriyama's popular manga and anime series "Dragon Ball" will become an online game called "Dragon Ball Online". Toriyama will oversee the project, while the Tokyo/Seoul-based company "NTL" will develop it. The game is scheduled for a release in 2008 in Japan, but a beta test in Korea will start this summer. Fees and payment schedules are undecided at this time. The game itself is based in a world several hundred years after the events of Dragon Ball. This allows for both well-known characters and all-new characters to be introduced to gamers. Players can freely customize their hair, clothing and other facets of their character, group with other players and defeat powerful enemies and quests. Players can also challenge one another in combat. Source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielTimothy Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Doooooooooo it.I didn't like the first episode all that much, but from the second one onwards it's fantastic. I took your advice and watched the first episode, my mother walked in halfway through whilst a 10 year old anime school girl was singing and cooking, I hope your going to explain it to her.

Ten10 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Yeah, I found it very weird the first time I watched it. What I hate about the dubbing in some anime is the heavy country folk American accents that don't really work for me. Doubt I'd watch volume 2 to tell the truth.

Shino Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 My mom caught me watching Naruto on a part when sakura was crying and yelling a lot, and since she discovered hentai exists, I can't even imagine what she was thinking. Didn't help that she thinks I'm a pedophile (I AM NOT!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
