I now love Anime

I feel like @saren would have some great recommendations.

Lol.

Naruto, Naruto: Shippuden, Samurai Shamploo is a short and good series, Wolf's Rain was good too. Any of these are good. Samurai Champloo was made by the same people that made Cowboy Bebop I believe.

1. Berserk
2. Afro Samurai
3. Fullmetal Alchemist
4. Death Note

Death Note.

welcome to the club brother make sure to check out monster, gundam 00, gankutsuo and hunter x hunter.

@frozen: Parasyte: The Maxim, Gurren Lagann, Spirited Away & Zankyou no Terror.

I can guarantee you'll love these!

I have always loved anime and depending on what kind of anime you are into fairly certain i could recommend you few.

@frozen: *pulls you in a dark corner*

The bandwagon is watching you.

These don't have hundreds of episodes to catch up, and some of the best out there (as far as I have seen)

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Not to be confused with just full metal alchemist. Both adapt the same manga, albeit with slight changes. Brotherhood is better imo.

Death note. I'd say 'monster' is similar, but better although older.

Code Geass

Attack on Titan

Welcome to the club :)

These are pretty cool Animé series. ^^

@frozen:

You may like Cowboy Bebop because of the obvious western influence integrated in the anime, but its a start.

As for recommendation I suggest:

• Outlaw Star
• Macross Plus (By the same Director as Bebop but you may need knowledge on the lore)
• Death Note
• Ninja Scroll
• Ghost in the Shell

Blue Exorcist and Attack on Titan are both great.

@frozen watch Monster and Ghost in the Shell

they are far more comparable to Bebop than most of the people recommending shonen stuff, which I'm pretty sure you won't like.

anything by Studio Ghibli is also excellent. Its Hayao Miyazaki's company and they pretty much dominate the industry in quality (they only do movies though)

If you want an anime with damn good animation with great fight scenes and is current, I'd recommend "Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works" (2014 version)

Wow. Thanks for all the suggestions people!

Movie-wise, I'd recommend watching 5 Centimeters Per Second. It's very beautiful.

Anime is like masturbation. You feel ashamed the first time you do it, but then you just keep on doing it.

This. I can definitely relate to 5 Centimeters Per Second too (unfortunately).

I'd recommend Anohana as well.

Stick to the healthy stuff like CB, and stuff similar to it, and classic 90s anime.

Then go to the fast food stuff like, Naruto, Bleach, DBZ, One Piece, Fairy Tail and so on.

Aw, well I do hope things are okay with you? Can relate to 5 Centimeters Per Second myself with my first love.

Actually, I probably should rewatch it soon. :)

You my dear paranoid friend have now been enlightened ^_^

Watch Zankyou no Terror. Same guy made it I think. 12 episodes only too.

Maybe one day, he will recognize the awesomeness that is Anime.

I started into anime too, watched the whole series of Death Note and understood that the anime as a medium could have more potential than any other, if realized properly.

Death Note led to Future Diary, which I gave up, the cerebral drop was too much to cope with. I am currently watching Steins Gate, but am loosing interest because the attention focus shifted.

Anyway Death Note is probably the best for beginners for anime fans and probably the best thing I have ever watched. (As far as I can recall anyway).

Trigun

Death Note

Darker than Black

I just started getting into Anime myself, I've watched Bleach and am almost caught up on Naruto. I love Samurai Champloo, it was effin deep and awesome. Besides DB/DBZ/DBGT those are the only three I've watched.

Went through a rough patch...partly why I was so inactive a few months ago. But I'm good now.

Fullmetal Alchemist/ Brotherhood

Gurren lagann

One piece

For starters

1.Tokyo Ghoul.

2.Hunter X Hunter.

3.Gundam seed. but i advice don't watch its sequel.

4 .Gundam Unicorn

5. Monster.

6. Hellsing Ultimate.

7. 8th mobile suit team.

8.Great Teacher Onizuka

@frozen: nice man. Bebop caught me some time ago as well. I have a few suggestions simply based off of what I personally have liked. The ever popular (and very different from Bebop) choices of Bleach and Inuyasha are solid picks. Some others here have recommended Full Metal Alchemist (and FMA: Brotherhood) which I will as well. I am also a fan of the older stuff such as Ronin Warriors and Tranzor Z (or Mazinger Z) but I fear those may not be your fancy, but you never know....

@frozen:

Have you done any further anime viewing?

@frozen: Fist of the North Star , Ninja Scroll, Trigun, Ghost in a shell, Death note, Akira, Devil Man and the Grand Daddy of them all

Jojo's bizarre adventure!!!!!

You will feel Fabulous After Wards.

These are the Anime you need to watch. The new stuff is 50/50, mostly crap in my opinion.

Any specific genre you're looking for? If you want stuff like Bebop I recommend Samurai Champloo(as many have suggested it is a fantastic anime that's greatly influenced by underground hip-hop culture), Lupin the 3rd(this one is very much like Bebop and has held up extremely well over the past 40 odd years. Definite classic), and Mitchiko to Hatchin(Another anime with Shinichiro Watanabe's classic style. This one's unique in that it's set in Brazil, and the artwork and music paint the South American atmosphere extremely well).

God damnit.....

- Hunter X Hunter

- Samurai Champloo

- Ghost in the Shell

- Deathnote

- Yu Yu Hakusho

- Gurren Lagaan

- Afro Samurai

- Outlaw Star

- Rurouni Kenshin

- Hamtaro

@samimista: basically, anything by Makoto Shinkai

@yourneighborhoodcomicgeek: Well, I'm glad you're doing better! Am always here if you ever wanna talk about anything.

For sure. *high fives* The Place Promised In Our Early Days was also a spectacular one.

Am a sucker for emotional anime movies. :)

@beaconofstrength: the day gt becomes better than z is the day the catwoman movie (with Halle berry) becomes recognized as a good movie, but let's not get into THAT

Yu yu hakusho

Zatch Bell

FMA

Death Note

Naruto (part 1, I watched up to the pain arc in shippuden and couldn't stomach through the rest)

Attack on Titan

ONE PIECE (a must watch)

One Piece Film Z

Sword Art online

Gurren Lagan

Hunter x Hunter

Another

Marvel Anime (if you're interested in that)

Gurren Lagaan is short (27 episodes) and epic (a few slow episodes but overall I thought it was amazing). All though its a lot different than cowboy bebop so take this with a grain of salt.

0_0 whoa.......... you're here...
