Shangri-La is a new anime with decent animation, haven't watched it properly but looks promising

Infinite frackin chakra for mentioning Berserk...my fav anime ...eva...if you want to follow up the story, the manga is ongoing ( think it was on hiatus recently though)

Gankutsuou - The Count of Monte Cristo was damn good too, art style was somehow hypnotizing as well....

had gungrave but disc never worked...

will test dem others...

pleeeeease watch Gungrave. It's my #1 favorite anime of all time, followed by Berserk. here's a couple of reviews to help convince you. Oh, BTW, don't judge the show after episode 1. the remaining 25 eps are amazing.

Monster

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_(manga)

Has anyone seen this series yet? OMG. Talk about amazing. This is probably the first anime I've seen with this much depth. The amount of info that hits you can hurt the brain at times, but it's so good, you wouldn't mind. Yet another classic that deserves its rightful dues. PS. The main villian in this series, Johan, scares the living poop out of me. Hitler ain't got nothin' on him.

Monster got boring after a while for me, I have yet to finish it
Eden of the east now that was goood. Left me wanting more.

rassmatic · « **Reply #26 on:** July 04, 2009, 11:49:52 PM »

^well Monster's more of a crime drama, so it's not for everyone. if you really follow the story, you wouldn't find it boring at all. trust me.

I got up to episode 53 and took a break from it. I was enjoying it up to that point but the whole Karl thing felt a bit unnecessary to me. Will give it a second chance.

I watched the first episode of Umineko no Naku koro ni today...very excited for this. If you've seen any of the Higurashi, definitely check it out.

Higurashi:http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6134

Edit: This got me thinkin, why not have an anime-to-avoid thread as well? It'd be the same as the Movie spoiler thread but with anime and reasons to avoid them. My latest gripe has been Nabari no Ou. Great lookin bit unorthodox anime but disappointed in the end.

Berzerk · « **Reply #28 on:** July 05, 2009, 11:11:08 AM »

this anime win...period...just watched it out

if you thought gurren lagann was over the top...well this oui sah

based on the ps 2 game devils kings and very very losely based on feudal japanese history.

In the bloody Warring States period of feudal Japan, many generals fought in an endless struggle for power, but one man proved to be too big a threat - The dark lord Oda Nobunaga. Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune, two young warriors from different regions who become heated rivals, begin to form an unlikely alliance with the rest of the generals to take down the Devil King.

Claymore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claymore_%28manga%29

Action, action and more action. And it has a pretty good storyline to boot. Kinda reminds me of Berserk......but with chicks

. Yet another series that's worth a watch. Not for those who are afraid of blood though.

Claymore Amv ~Whispers In The Dark~

Berzerk · « **Reply #32 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:43:25 PM »

claymore was decent, but the ending was awful imo...started off so bloody brillant ...

rassmatic · « **Reply #33 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:46:15 PM »

You'll have to take a look at the manga at that point in the timeline to see just how awful it was.

rassmatic · « **Reply #35 on:** July 28, 2009, 02:01:18 PM »

ok. well i've never seen the manga and i didn't find it so bad. if u really want to see an awful ending, watch When They Cry Higurashi. oh my freakin gawd!

W1nTry · « **Reply #36 on:** July 28, 2009, 02:08:23 PM »

I am still reading the manga and though the anime deviated from the manga, I believe the animators had to make a decision whether to continue following or to try to bring some sense of closure, they simply used the manga story and embellished a bit to give the showdown some sort of feasibility. Sure it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't downright horrible.

Either way Demons and a new Abysmal on ftw.

rassmatic · « **Reply #37 on:** July 28, 2009, 02:23:22 PM »

well said my friend. well said.

AR!Ø · « **Reply #38 on:** July 28, 2009, 04:47:15 PM »

Wait, when you say Higurashi ahd a bad ending, do you mean period, or as compared to the manga? I have to say, the ending to Higurashi - both seasons, was great imo.

rassmatic · « **Reply #39 on:** July 28, 2009, 07:20:06 PM »

the ending of Higurashi season 1 was horrible imo. period. haven't seen season 2 yet, but after the way the first season ended, i got turned off completely.
