Information and Resources
Where the fuck do I download recent relases?
Tokyo Toshokan (http://www.tokyotosho.info/)
Am I a bad person for liking dubs?
Yes
Where can I find older relases?
One could try BakaBT (http://www.bakabt.com/index.php) you either get an account and need to keep :ratios: or you can just google "site:bakabt.com" + <name of show> because you only need an account to search their site, not to use their trackers. Torrents on BakaBT tend to be very speedy.
Another alternative is to check fansubbing sites directly if you know who subbed the show, and if you don't you can find out usually by looking up the show on My Anime List (http://myanimelist.net/) to find who has subbed it. But usually the easiest method is to simply type the name of what you want to download and the word torrent into google, which pretty much works 99% of the time but your personal experience may vary.
Am I a bad person for streaming anime?
Yes
How do I found out what's airing?
Chartfag (http://chartfag.wordpress.com/) releases charts which list all the upcoming and currently airing shows by season with a little blurb (Speaking from experience, don't write off a show simply on its blurb). If you want to know how long until the next episode of Generic Moeshit #349 is you can find a countdown here (http://countdown.mandragon.info/).
Am I a bad person for using VLC?
Yes
How do I watch anime?
Like so (http://1bi.us/as) but with Core AVC (http://www.fileserve.com/file/zNaJhrC) as a new version was released which supports 10bit.
If anyone wants me to add anything just post or pm me.

In real news, Madoka still on hiatus, (http://www.ggkthx.org/2011/03/23/madoka-broadcast-suspended-until-further-notice/) good news being that you can purchase your very own bottles of MOHNING LESCUE (http://www.jlist.com/product/DRK019) now to help you get over it.
Iroha (http://underwater.nyaatorrents.org/?tag=Hanasaku%20Iroha) is indeed promising. Aside from that, just sort of waiting for the next season to start.
Did anyone bother watching Zombie Desk Car all the way through? I heard reports that it got awesome at the end, but am unsure of spending the time to find out the hard way.

Then holy shit I would recommend:
Black Lagoon
Death Note
Fullmetal Alchemist (the original series as well as the newer Brotherhood run, newer one stays truer to manga)
Hellsing
Samurai Champloo (best, done by same guy as Bebop, watch first)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Trigun (not for everyone)
Subs are preferable always except for Champloo and Lagoon in this list (still like Champloo subs best, samurai in olden times japan should speak japanese imo)

Glad I'm not the only one who couldn't really get behind that show. Giant robots, unimaginably over the top, I should have loved it. I ended up sticking with it til the end because my friends wouldn't shut the fuck up about it, and all I felt was kinda meh about the whole experience.
Too many drastic tone changes for me I think. I think my favorite part of the show was the opening of the very first episode where it's all artsy digging. I had no idea what I was getting into, but I was pretty ok with just watching something weird and interesting for a while. Then... robots? Ok, I like robots. Then tragedy? Wait, I thought we were just having fun here. Then political intrigue, then space, then punching god in the face. Jack of all trades, master of none.

For the first, people rave about Gintama. I watched the first episode and it didn't do it for me, but you might enjoy it on a turn-off-brain level.
Same tone and style as Emo Proxy... well, there's Cassern Sins which has a lovely art style and similarly apocalyptic mood, but it suffers from 1A/2S syndrome, i.e. 1st half = Awesome 2nd half = Shit. Still worth it imo. And if you want something truly heavy Kara no Kyoukai (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/kara-no-kyoukai-the-garden-of-sinners) will hold you down in your seat and shit on your chest for thinking you were cool enough to watch it.

Actually, OVA was fucking awesome (action show with book moles as main heroines, F T W !) and full series that followed it was full of shit. They canned most of original characters and made decent action series into retarded slice-of-failure emo-nime.
It was like turning Duke Nukem game about whiny, 12 year old pimply lilboy with heavy emo tendencies.

I liked RoD, both OVA and series. They could have made something better out of the TV series, which suffered from too many characters and weird pace, but it was enjoyable anyway, if just for the setting.
Currently watching Macross Frontier. The storyline is unbelievably retarded and the soundtrack annoying despite Yoko Kanno's involvement, but it does have pretty fancy spacebattles.
Since the usual suspects have already been named, a couple more suggestions:
Basilisk - ninjas and all, rather brutal
Shigurui - sword fighting, the most violent anime I know
Sunab?zu - post-apocalyptic comedy, infantile and all but I found it entertaining

Anime kind of died for me, don't really pick up new series anymore, almost all of the new stuff is just so bad. Well, every season since forever always had bad anime but there was always a good chunk of good series to jump on. Although I did watch Panty Stocking & Garterbelt and loved it, you will probably love it too if you grew up on american cartoons.
I will still follow the One Piece anime though, just to see it in motion, I follow the manga. One of my greatest fears in life is dying before seeing the conclusion to this damn series lol. Oda said earlier this year that the series is halfway through [meaning all said and done it will probably be around 1000 episodes, god damn!]
List of personal must watches:
One Piece
Hajime No Ippo
Berserk
Akagi
Cowboy Bebop
Ghost in the Shell [movies and series]
Escaflowne
Wings of Honneamise [this movie is so beautiful beginning to end, most underrated anime movie of all time]
All the Studio Ghibli movies
Gurren Lagann [although with all the hype and how people dont shut the fuck up about the series, newcomers will probably be let down]
Comedy
Azumanga Daioh
Jungle Wa Haré+Guu
Astrofighter Sunred
Lucky Star
Drama
Kare Kano a.k.a. His and Her Circumstances
LOL DRAMA ANIME SUCKS DICK or I don't know which ones are good recommend some to me :3
There's a lot of other anime I'd recommend, these are mostly series and movies I found to be levels above the rest. Macross could've made it if every single Macross series didnt turn into LOL WE'LL DEFEAT THE ENEMY WITH MUSIC, although the space battles are still epic and the soundtracks are just fantastic.
Next series I'm tackling is Legend of the Galactic Heroes, still trying to find a good download for it.

Hidan no Aria Labeled by gg as Shakugan no Loli III. Male high school harem rape victim with the fucked up twist that they go to a school what starts training kids to be mercenaries at a young age and the entire world somehow has no problem with this because there's lotsa dem baddies out dere. Oh and he gets bullet time because his family has been Protectors of Justice or somesuch thing. Instantly unlikable, slight potential for comedy but mostly made of fail.
Ano Hi Mita etc etc If a ghost that can provably affect the material world jacks you off and you don't stop them, do you still feel guilty? A weird one, feels a bit Honey and Clover with some either supernatural or psychotic hallucination elements thrown in. Will keep an eye on this.

Fooly Cooly, also known as Furi Kuri.
Lots of nuclear explosions and cum faces.
You just summed all my favourite anime from GAINAX... :oops:
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Lusulpher
[Very important to state your bias before you recommend media]
Yes, I prefer the more complex, but not necessarily more confusing shows. Especially mind rape.
Also, I acknowledge that subs are FAR SUPERIOR TO DUBS. Most good dubs are for a hand-picked set of already-excellent actions shows, and Comedies. Which must be translated properly to Western culture to be funny, and so the vocal timing work has to be focused on even more.
Will gladly defend my ratings too, as I've had to before. Someone in my corp likes Big O[aka anything The Industry/Machine/Man shovels in front of them :| sheeple]
Also, I include Western animation under anime, as anime simply is moontalk for animation...
Invader Zim, Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack, Ren & Stimpy, Powerpuff Girls, 1990s Batmans, all follow the detailed definition of anime as a genre. 'Notable stylization of lines/camera shots to the point of naming the artist responsible'.
Ergo, animation is anime.
CGI is a different matter. As there has been no Akira Kurosawa of that field yet. but Studio GONZO has turned around much of that recently.
Sidenote: I'm rewatching some of the most epic scifi anime series with my brother. After I discovered he was a future Gainaxian. i'm so proud. :cry:
Can't recommend Gunbuster enough, 6 eps of pivotal anime defining glory.[not necessary to watch the Diebuster, which was cheap marketing. But the mini-psuedo-science commentary shorts are also epic.]
In fact start with OVAs, short and powerful.
FLCL[anime form of lubricant]
Macross Zero[most spiritual anime I've seen in a long time]
Gall Force[no one has heard of this and it transcends most early Gundam]
Sol Bianca[Cowboy Bebop with all women]
Samurai X[if Bruce Lee was a swordsman]
Char's Counterattack[ :nostradamus: ]
0080: War In The Pocket[real war with mechs]
Blue Submarine 6[good followup to Evangelion]
Epic beyond description. I'm convinced it's a conspiracy to keep these mind-expanding animes suppressed from the global public. Even in Japan, it's hard to not be flooded out by garbage franchises.

I acknowledge that subs are FAR SUPERIOR TO DUBS.
these days dubs usually get enough love to be well translated and have voice actors that dont suck balls, terrible dub is terrible, but terrible subs... gets old hearing people spout that shit.
i'll admit i prefer subs alot of the time when watching foreign movies, but with that the actor is the guy you see and hear, cutting a performance in half doesnt sit so well with me, whereas replacing one set of voice actor for another seems quite natural.

Terrible sub can be attributed to terrible plot/acting in general. At that point you might want to stop watchign the show. it's won't be improved by hesitant dubbers.
And the track record for dubbing is pretty bad. I'd like to know which dub studio is turning this around. Especially with most of them recycling actors for the same types of roles in EVERY FUCKING FRANCHISE!
At least in a foreign language you key into the different ages and genders they try to use, in native, it's masculine guy from masculine dub # 22005, plays masculine guy from #16030. Gets old fast.
What really gets me in a twist: Is when the sub has a poorly chosen dialogue and the dubbers can fix it, and they don't...I go absolutely apeshit.

terrible subs can be attributed to poor translation, dont blame the actors or plot tbh.
yeah i get it, we've all been watching/reading/listening to this stuff for ages, and whilst the list of voice actors maybe stupidly short, these peeps still do quite well imo.
dubbing for gits, baccano!, evangelion, samurai champloo, all seem awesome to me, i dont speak japanese so i really couldnt comment on the quality of translation v0v but reading movies gets old quick, 10-20 year ago you'd be spot on, and as little headway as has been made, the quality of dubs is nowhere near as bad as they used to be/you suggest.

Anyone can recommend something similar to Gundam 00/Full Metal Panic? Does not have to have mecha in it, I'm looking for some good scifi tbh. Like, more realistical ones rather than random stuff with aliens and Music (yes I watch and like Macross but still :geek: ).
From this spring:
C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control - Only aired first ep this week, looks cool in concept but we'll see.
Steins; Gate - The mad scientist in this show is awesome, will continue even if it gets worse just for his madness.
Tiger & Bunny - Well, superheroes. Quite amusing/annoying to see all the product placement (nice move by the studio anyway), but otherwise looks like a good thing to watch.

Favorite series thus far:
Clannad (second season, holy shit emotional roller coaster)
MM! (protagonist is a masochist, hilarity ensues)
Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? (protagonist is a zombie, basically a parody of typical action animes)
Macross Frontier (fucking epic visual quality)
Toaru Majutsu no Index (ditto above)
Shakugan no Shana (different than your typical supernatural action series)
Seto no Hanayome (fucking hysterical)
Darker Than Black (really good all around)
Fairy Tail (action-magic)
Will add if I think of more.

Yup that's the one.
It's probably most realistic space ship-to-ship combat ever done (in anime) and on Mohs Scale of SF Hardness, it ranks close second behind Planetes (which according to tvtroopes, is hardest SF ever done, of any medium).

I finally found a download for all 110 episodes of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Heard good things about it since forever, it's apparently the best anime ever that no ones ever heard of. Google 'Legend of the Galactic Heroes review', the weakest review I could find was 9/10.
Probably going to start tonight.
For anyone else interested in possibly tackling this series with me...
*edit* changed to DVDrip instead of LOLlaserdiscrip
torrent ep. 1-26:http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=187020
torrent ep. 27-54:http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=178779
torrent ep. 47-110, I'd wait for the Central-Anime remasters to be honest:http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=171167
I think it's the only series on ANN to have a median rating of 'Masterpiece'
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... hp?id=1786 (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1786)
The story of two mighty space empires is told from the viewpoint of two 'heroes': Rheinhardt Von Museal, Admiral of the Galactic Empire, and Yang Wenli, Admiral from the Alliance of Free Planets. Both men are military and tactical geniuses and are born survivors. The ambitious Rheinhart has the goal of getting enough power to be able to free his sister from her obligation as one of the Emperor's Court ladies. He is fairly ruthless in this which is tempered only by his aide: Siegfried Kircheis. Yang is a pacifistic man who, when necessary, will do his duty even if it means fighting against an enemy fleet (since he is a *soldier*, after all). The drama between these 2 men is played out against a backdrop of great space battles, inept commanders, frightened soldiers, personal relationships, corrupt politicians and the workings of two space empires at war with each other. This is a space opera on a very grand scale. Note that there is a very heavy Prussian influence on the series.

Saw 2 eps of Claymore. It's dark, a vague twist on the lonely demonhunter. Could be good if arcs expand by ep 10. COuld be epic if each teased Claymore has their own arc that intersects. Other than that, anorexic Aryan slays oni for a mysterious corporation, while remembering what Humanity was like.[nothing detailed or too intense] I'd recommend Berserk first though. No matter how homo-erotic I find those eps I watched. :?
Also, something darker, more action filled, multiple arcs of epic religion and politics and magic = Book of Bantora. It's so brutal, I saw images of Vietnam-esque bloodthirst at certain points.
Samurai 7, OMFG WHAT A BOREFEST. GONZO fucked up on that series. I had to fast forward through the last half only to watch repetivive fights and no character development...insulting to name it that, it was Inuyasha but more boring.[GONZO turned themselves around with blue Sub No. 6/Last Exile/Bokurano/Gantkuuotsuo, truly refreshing/gorgeous on the anime scene, not to mention they have multiple race characters used fairly and emotionally, which I personally approve of]
Go watch Speed Grapher instead.[it's pretty horny, has interesting villain designs and is about modern Class warfare of all things!] Similar to Gantz.
Soul Eater is pretty intense and funny and obscenely well-designed. My brother got me into that show. Reminds me of Tenjou Tenge, but with mythology. Also, someone on Crunchyroll.com said D. Gray-man would interest me since I like this show also.
And imho,Yu Yu Hakusho is still the most badass, laid-back fighting anime in a long time, greater than DBZ, and none of the filler.

Samurai 7 is a 26-episode version of The Seven Samurai, and they're packing about the same story even though one is a movie and the other significantly longer. It's not that great, but it isn't as boring as you make it sound either. In the second half it picks up a lot of pace and there actually is some character development. I found Gankuotsuo more boring, since the plot of the Count of Monte Christo has been told to death already, but the animation was rather appealing.
Speed Grapher was rather weird, but in a good way as far as I remember. Stopped watching it for some reason though.

So I guess I can give Claymore a try (I should have clarified with Netflix, that I meant the "watch online" - hence at work) - Book of Bantora? Wasn't on the list at all. Berserk wasn't online (sad :( , I liked that series). I've also got Soul Eater and Speed Grapher in the queue now to try it out also.
Any other suggestions for Netflix Anime? Some other random suggestions it's giving me to watch online...
-Sacred Blacksmith
-Corpse Princess
-Eden of the East
-Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
-Slayers (don't think I ever got around to watching this even though it's old)
-Gun X Sword
-Black Blood Brothers

Claymore is ~ok~, the show never really delivers on the level that it might have. Soul Eater is really good up until it diverges from the manga (you can probably spot it w/o any assistance), and then it becomes ~ok~. The ending will probably make you :raeg:, but there are some amusing fan explanations to explain it all away that I won't share due to :spoilers:

Rendered obsolete by Deathnote.[Chess game animes]

+ Symbionic Titan[American Gurren Lagann, and is now cancelled, I'm :raged:]
+ Avatar: The Last Airbender[don't hate, appreciate, American interpretation of Miyazaki, Disney's Ponyo is not cutting it!]
I have to also downplay Witch Hunter Robin. Saw it 2x on AS...was boring, I thought I was missing something so I really watched... :|
Monster of the week, high budget quality design, wasted on goth style a la Hot Topic...twist was good, but came at end, no ingenious action for miles. It's like Claymore without fights, tbh.
And I have seen Seven Samurai, one of my top Akira Kurosawa films. Even if I hadn't, that was the first anime I have had to fast forward to, and the new stuff after the end was intriguing and then made stupid. It was terrible.
See that list of other GONZO achievement again, they all moved away from cliche, romance sagas.
And Moribito and 12 Kingdoms did the historical setting far better[even these have poor pacings, but DETAIL and DEPTH]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Qi4o3oOU0&feature=related
And the best of the lot would be Samurai Champloo[post-Meiji era politics/religion/and non-horrid Japanese interpretation of Harlem culture]. 7 does not even scale with these.

Also Sam Cham has a solid ass dub[same folks as Cowboy Bebop]
@ Quarantine...did you watch Gantkuutsuo? The intro of that show alone gets so sinister halfway through just with all the details they add to the side characters. And then the twists, they are dark.
And that ending, not-happy-go-lucky, but tied up all the ends with a realistic expansion beyond the novel. Brilliant achievement in film.
Makes other adaptation Directors look lazy and incompetent.
@Koga, Nice. But it was the muscle/sword saturation that gave me the jeevies. I'm a Freudian, and that rang so many alarms that I told my college friend, he was not a Freudian disciple and was dismissive of my "heavy saturation of phallic symbols". And he was like "Evangelion has 100ft tall phallic symbols and I was yeah, but it is on purpose. This is just homo-erotic." I still plan to watch the whole thing, I saw the last ep, and it was the most homoerotic proxy violation I have ever seen put to film. :twisted:
And if you are NOT gay, you can enjoy Director ambition like that, if you are, it's a solid Greek tragedy.
@ sand, My advice is to start your anime from 1970-1995. That was the last era, before CGI/computer assist, removed the detail and artist integrity of the genre.
Everything looked hand-drawn and non-flat, and non-copy/paste, non-shiney.
It's a travesty they spew out all these new animes that are mostly ripping entire plots from older ones and adding no personality. :evil:
I remember when Gundam wasn't a mass of boy-girls and pseudo-political drivel to launch CGI spaceboats and customized Bandai toys.
:cry:
Better than Sub, Dub List:
Samurai Champloo
FLCL
Cowboy Bebop[a new genre alright, badasses being cool as shit on ice]
Ghost in the Shell[the Japs ALL sound the same]
Desert Punk
Yu Yu Hakusho
other comedy dubs?

Friends tell friends the Truth.
Obsolete is not necessarily negative term.
Deathnote was the superior chess-game-anime. There is even a chess-game-anime called Baccano? Got the board and all.
And Geass was no Yugi-Oh[dub lololololol], so that's good news.
But, a political anime contender, no, so it's in the chess group. Level of serious, above normal for game-anime, had mechs so action, had less mystery than DN, as we knew who would survive to Season 2. DN could change main character at anytime[and should have, Season 2 was weaker!].
Season 1 of DN is simply far more polished and complex than all of Code Geass. And I'm sorry you feel you must hate me, but I will stand by my assertion.
Didn't help CLAMP chooses this anorexic design standard and frilly attire to make "Manly Men" NOT LIKE THEIR SHOWS.
Choosing ugly, is only for intense psychological dramas like Now and Then, Here and There, Serial Experiments: Lain or Shadow Star: NaruTaru. Those are fucking ambitious intellectual pieces, and they could be animated using turds.

So I guess I can give Claymore a try (I should have clarified with Netflix, that I meant the "watch online" - hence at work) - Book of Bantora? Wasn't on the list at all. Berserk wasn't online (sad :( , I liked that series). I've also got Soul Eater and Speed Grapher in the queue now to try it out also.
Any other suggestions for Netflix Anime? Some other random suggestions it's giving me to watch online...
-Sacred Blacksmith
Like streaming garbage into your eyeballs. Seriously, avoid at all costs.
-Corpse Princess
AKA Shikibane Hime, if I recall correctly? I liked it, some of the story was p. fucked up psychologically and the animation - while fanservicey - is quite crisp. Fight scenes especially stand out. Others complained about the inconsistent storyline and unlikable lead male protagonist. I say these are present in almost every goddamn anime ever made, so deal with it.
-Eden of the East
Easily recommended. Ending is wide open though, and the first of a series of movies they planned to stitch things up really didn't resolve anything.
Something to remember about Netflix - they only stream the dubs. Many of the series on there, for instance Soul Eater, are measurably superior with the original Nipponese cast, so do watch them on Hulu/Crunchyroll/tokyotosho if you can.
Though a decent dub that's also a good series on Netflix is Birdy the Mighty: Decode. Baka nails it. (http://www.baka-raptor.com/2010/12/18/the-three-best-anime-series-of-2009/)

Then why did they take 20 eps to do a recap? And why are the new characters so boring as to stand delivering dialougue for at least 2 cutaways?
Shambala and FMA:B are thinking about the health/range of the anime industry, quite cliche. From characters to plot.
And who said I feared fans? Who said I feared anything or anyone?
If you asked me to eat a turd sandwich, I'd tell you how it taste. How salty, how moist, how bitter, how sweet. And I'd guess your intention based on how you layered/coiled your "output".

Streaming won't be good anytime soon. Because:
a)You can download the HD TV raws a few hours after broadcast, and the speed fansubs within the day.
b)There is this way to do things from the "old days", where Japanese won't give away an HD copy for redistribution outside of Japan. One of the reasons being they don't want the Japanese customers buying/importing the cheap foreign versions in comparison to the more expensive local versions (but higher quality).

http://i.imgur.com/V1env.png
@ Lusulpher, way to completely miss the point. Since it went so far over your head as to basically be in orbit, let me spell it out for you. Whatever Baka-Raptor's faults, however off his other opinions may seem to you, I linked his brief review of Birdy because it matched my own opinion of that show. On your list of awesome 09' anime, Haruhi was arguably ambitious but flawed (cab ride exposition of great justice etc.), you admit to not watching Spice and Wolf yet being able to judge it's quality which is frankly extremely stupid, and yes Eve no Jikan was gorgeous but more of a series of shorts, or a broken up OVA, rather than a full-on regular series (it also had a rather uneven airing schedule as I recall).

I'm going to wiki 2009 anime...FMA:B reverses all the dramatic and ambition of FMA[minus Shambala movie]. It turns something unique and intense into something so cliche, and moe-fangirl, it's unbelievable!
Actually what you're calling 'original' is a very loose adaptation of the actual original manga, FMA:B is much truer to the tone and the story of the original work. The first attempt at an FMA anime was IMO very weak compared to it's source and it's successor, it rewrote characters it didn't need to (Bass Grond, Solf J. Kimbley). Added one off characters that did nothing for the overall story arc (cat burgler chick who's name I can't remember) completely cut entire storylines and characters (the northern garrison and Olivier Mira Armstrong) not to mention completely ignoring Ed and Winrey's relationship, the external pressures on the nation, other nations and nationalities, and a far more realistic view of war imperialism, and their consequences.
I kind of wonder if you've even watched FMA:B because I could totally see you watching one episode and seeing some of the more cliche anime additions (admitadly the series does have a lot more kawaii bits that I didn't like either) and either dropping it or focussing on the bits you didn't like over everything else they did better than the first FMA anime (and it was practically everything BTW, even the animation is noticeably better).

THIS is a retort. You understand the concept of debate; expressing opinion civilly, and comparison of metrics.
+1 Internet
-The random characters who lead their own lives in a world of magic and how it influences the Elric boys to think how badly they fucked up. And they realize that magic can't save even small towns from collapsing from within. Social commentary by proxy using fleshed out locales. Brilliant. They also are slightly satirical of other genres like ecchi/slice of life/moe/religious zeal/class warfare. I find the flow of cities and Elric homes to be a bit narrow.
-Nina arc. Brushed-off, that was more disturbing than the actually dark version, and it's where I noticed production values are not as high for FMA:B. That rain scene really clinched it.
-Greed: It's not often a Director turns a villain into a saint in such a manipulative way. I actually applauded when I saw how that arc ended. A true yakuza archetype.
No apologies were made, like a true badass, but the moral lesson of how miscommunication can be used to fuel local conflicts is a very political message for a children's show. And then it is minimized for a sword fight. The change a homonculus to undermine the power of Mustang's attempt at a 'bloodless' coup. But I know which coup I'm sticking with.
I also find Mustang's realistic jokes about sexual harassment more in line with the plot than a panda does something funny...
-Ed/Winry/Al's subtle romantic/sexual tension I found very appropriate for FMA, and the flashbacks to childhood friendship as the leadup, magnificient. The failure in season 2 was that they never tried to conclude that, and the Sham movie was a TERRIBLELY BLUNT attempt at handling something akin to a Mulder/Scully.
-Dante arc. Yes. Corruption and manipulation from so many angles and from a jilted lover, plus the body-shifting. Actual paranoia in an action anime. YES. :oops: CIvil war, racial genocide and imperialism based on lies at any moment. And the happier "family-bonding" moments had a whole new sense of dread[imagine an evil stepmother showing up at the Elric's mother's grave]. It's some dark shit made darker by the best of Human emotions, love.
-Alchehestry, I'm assuming Season 2 will go into more depth about this. Season 1 is so busy being cute, that they are not laying anything down by ep 20. That's one long ass recap, poor editing is painful. And not giving enough emotion to Hughe's death at the same time or Scar's motivating background[his brother's connection to Lust is gone :shock: ]
-the blonde chick who stand on walls with a sword. Okay...I submit Major Kusanagi from GitS as a powerful lead female who has a nuanced character, and it not just an Aryan Valkyrie archetype. And he Ishbalan subord. is not even intriguing. They just exist. FAM was able to tie characters past together at least. What sordid webs we weave...
"Arakawa made comedy central in the manga because she thinks it is intended for entertainment, and tried to minimalize focus on sad scenes.""During the making of the anime, Arakawa was present in meetings to give the staff insight into the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, though she did not actively take part in any writing for the TV series."
Not only did they not veer off on wild tangents with the world, they made a better version of a world where flesh can be transmuted. Loose adaption is correct, but better adaptation of a light novel about a grim world with grim mechanics and easily corruptible politics to control immortality, is more correct.
Absolute power, corrupts absolutely. FMA:Hello Kitty is the bizzare concept.
If you wanted a light novel as an anime then FMA:B is definitely for you[and soap operas]. Hell, most anime is for you. They just keep pumping these kawaii shitstorms out. And then there are the ecchi, chauvinist cumpile series, then there are the WWE/shounen mind-sterilizers. The anime industry is saturated with mediocre. And I realize the more serious series can't dominate the market, but damn, if they are not always lacking funding, promotion or simply have their concepts neutered back to be inline with mediocre.
Evangelion Rebuild 2.0 [Holy shit, so much money spent to give me a meh reaction :psyduck: If Anno had that budget for the original, Rebuild would not exist, also might not have those fantastically deep eps 25/26 :cut: ]
No I have not finished FMA:B and I won't now, wikipedia implies it ends in a typical Boss fight. :? And these flat characters that are not augmented by more rounded ones being added...
I did forget to mention my mega-bias against "moe"/"fanservice"-based series.[pandering is easy].
after work edit: I really miss the soundtrack from FMA also. One Adult Swim they got the voices right but the scenery seems devoid of GOOD music. I have not even attempted to look for FMAB's music. Studio BONES would win based on this alone, as professionals who care about a product, they added refreshing and varied themes to to each scene. Adding a richness to the story.

Ga-Rei Zero was pretty fun, I want more dammit.
Any more interesting good anime where a girl with a katana fights supernatural beasts whilst dressed as a schoolgirl?
Wait, isn't that pretty much every anime ever?

I mean, you could have at least resized them or something, that large an image splurge is just obnoxious.
SPOLIER TAG
Yes I watched the end of Madoka. :meh: I feel like they sort of blew their load on the emotional heft of the Homura is Dr. Who episode. It reminded me, strangely, of Mai-HiME, which was a similar series of TRAGEDY TRAGEDY TRAGEDY TRAGEDY and you're thinking "goddamn this is some heavy shit" then LOL SUNSHINE LOLLYPOPS AND SMILES at the very end. Madoka's finale was better, but it came too long after the real high point of the series, and having the penultimate bad guy that's been built up over the course of half the series being basically one-shot once Madoka's all "it's cool I got this I'm a god now" was anti-climactic. I suppose one could argue that the series' true antagonist was Kuybey (or however the fuck you spell that) and Madoka beat him after a long struggle with her friends and herself and won by making The Ultimate Sacrifice, but the whole thing was hampered by the fact that it's all taking place in a universe where aliens make magical girls whose tears keep space time from collapsing due to entropy. Madoka's sacrifice was to rewrite the rules of this universe and make herself omniscient and immortal, which is so far out of normal experience conceptually that it's basically meaningless.
It also pisses me off when anyone talks about living "forever," because there is no way to predict what will happen to a human consciousness that's forced to exist for a prolonged period of time. The whole idea is preposterous - you could live for literally 10^100,000,000 years, or that many centuries, and there would still be an infinite amount of time ahead of you. If Madoka really will live to the end of the universe (assuming that can even happen now that she's countering entropy?), then she'll witness the death of the human race billions or trillions of years before the possibility of her own consciousness being wiped out. What happens then? And let's say she's "timeless" and could go back and watch every moment of every human life, from Piltdown Man to the final moment of human thought blinking out of existence. That is still infinitely less time than actual infinity. Combine that with the fact that she cannot alter or interfere with any of the events she witnesses and you've got a recipe for madness.
So maybe the gravity of her sacrifice only becomes clear upon reflection. I'm cool with that, but it's still too far out to really have much of an impact.
P. good series, but it falls short of "great."

The way I understood it, it was less of an immortality deal and more of the "becoming a force of nature" thing. She's not really an individual person any more, she's like the Grim Reaper or the Tooth Fairy or whatever, just an embodiment of the new rule she created that means magical girls die rather than turn into witches.

That's an interesting interpretation, and if pressed I'm sure the writers would claim that the ending is open for the audience to decide what they wish about her fate. I wouldn't know because I'm not going to run around reading all the blogs about it today, it's afternoon tea and I'm sleepy and would rather look at videos of the GT-R for the remaining hour and a half I'm at work. But I will likely read up on the internet's consensus later.

I doubt Incubator would let humanity disappear so easily. After all, humanity's grief is the new source of energy needed in order to run the universe :animephysics:
On the ending, it wasn't what I expected it to be. I expected something more simple involving Megura dying. But the ending offered was up to the hype considering the 10th-11th episodes where the climax took place, and 12th as the conclusive one. I found the mixture of lain/evangelion/ttgl/:shaft: as enjoyable as the explanation given for it.

Ok so didn't read the entire thread but will post regardless:
My top recommendations in no particular order:
Black Lagoon: both seasons are great. Fun actionpacked anime. Dub is recommended since it's just as good if not better than the original. Also makes some more sense to watch the dub in season 2 won't spoil it though.
Ghost in the Shell: Didn't watch the movies but I liked both seasons. Dub is pretty good too. Has good action and pacing, tbh I really enjoyed this series and the setting.
Monster: Also very good, with lots of suspense and mystery. Quite a few episodes though (~70 or so iirc), and in the beginning it's not that fast-paced. But stick with it and you'll be rewarded. Unfortunately not many people know of this anime, which is a shame. Near the end you'll be biting your nails.
Baccano!: very good series with many mindfuck elements. Really great anime and while rewatching it you will be struck with "hey I remember how this plot point became important later in the show".
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo: Very good anime. It's a must-watch for the artstyle alone (it's unique tbh). The story is great (roughly the same story as the original Count of Monte Cristo, but altered & from a different point of view. Also it's set in teh future!). Some eps can have serious mindfuck elements too and the series has many memorable events.
Death Note: Of course, but probably if you are reading this thread you will already know about this anime. I liked the first part better though (series was a bit weaker after LOLSPOILER happened around halfway in. Still good though).
Code Geass: Great first season, second season was also good. The plot is actually very engaging though the mechs and such detract somewhat. Defo worth a watch. But like Death note probably has already been mentioned.
Paranoia Agent: In line with the 2 above, a pretty awesome mystery anime with loads of mindfuck elements which I really enjoyed. It's a serious story in a totally strange setting. Worth a watch for sure if you liked those 2 above (or even if you didn't).
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When They Cry): This anime completely thrives on mindfuck elements. It will leave you scratching your head pretty much all the way throughout. Also the events in the series are pretty brutal & fun to watch. Didn't really enjoy season 2 though... they start explaining everything and sort of ruined the mystery for me, but season 1 was great. OVA's are also not recommended.
One Piece: I actually really enjoy this series. The main cast is fun & interesting to watch and some eps can be absolutely laugh-out-loud hilarious. Has serious moments in the series too which work well for the most part. Also has some filler arcs but they're not too bad or often.
Tentai Senshi Sunred (AKA Astro Fighter Sunred): Awesome comedy anime. The setting is just great and the jokes really work for the most part (though also has some totally random things that you probably shouldn't watch sober). Also gives some insight in the japanese way of life which was nice. Definately worth a watch. Season 2 is coming out now.
Spice and Wolf: Good laidback series with some actualy interesting characters & romance. Recommend a watch if you're tired of: "OMG POWERLEVEL >9000" "o noez wat must we do?!?" "i shall use my awesome ubar over the top spiritual shit with friendship and stuff and it will win!" crap. Not for everyone but you'll find out if you like it after 2 or 3 eps so check it out anyway.
K-On!: Ok so before you say anything, half the forum is watching MLP! Anyway this anime is actually pretty fun to watch and has nice comedy with underlying yuri themes which is always a plus in my book. Shouldn't be taken too serious tho.
Anime's I didn't really like:
Claymore was dissapointing for me. Could have been good but the ending was just so meh...
Ergo Proxy... Mediocre at best. Looked like it was trying very very hard to look like it's "deep and philosophical" but in reality most of the time it was pretty boring. Had some good eps though which made up for it but overall it was pretty forgetable.
Bleach: I watched this when I had nothing to do for a few months but eugh... couldn't stand it anymore. Watched to around ep 200. The series has a LOT of random filler and even the main story isn't that great. The main protagonist is a whiny faggot and I found myself rooting for the bad guys and hoping they would win, but maybe thats just me.
GantZ: well not much to say, I didn't really like it. Ending was pretty "wtf" and the protagonist also wasn't that nice to watch. After the first ep they keep throwing the same OMGSHOCK device at you & at some point it becomes pretty predictable.
Elfenlied: Well, hmm. The first ep was pretty cool, but after that ... idk I just couldn't really get into it. I see everyone praising this to the heavens but I just don't see it. Also the OVA is terribad and ruins the mood and suspense of the entire series.
Darker than Black: I watched season 1 but I honestly don't remember anything of it. I'll just put it down to it being unmemorable though it could just be me.
Probably forgot some.

A stylish Matrix-esque digital parareality sort of thing. I hope it manages to stay energetic and interesting and not fall too deep into typical metaizing philosophizing Nipponese claptrap.
Stein;Gate holy fuck what am I watching?
http://i.imgur.com/gcHJh.png
This might be my favorite already this season. It is so compellingly and unapologetically weird, it just propels you forward with bizarre momentum. A teleporting phone-activated banana-gelatinizing microwave might not be the strangest thing in the show. Yet.
Good pics were good, but also big...
Also the trailer for the first one looks like Yu Gi-Oh mixed with Gankuutsuo. A realm where monster fights are about gambling. Glad to see something daring peek out in Japan again.[not be covered in combat maids :cut: ]
And the Steins Gate seems to be an adaptation of a game, a very clever game about time travel. Anything that sounds like the anime to Primer, is a go.

Spice and Wolf definitely seems like the responsible stoner's anime, like Kino no Tabi.
Will be gogling Baccano! and Sunred.
Higurashi felt like they were trying a plot gimmick much too hard.
I don't know why Monster can not have been compressed honestly, that pacing is not necessary seeing as Deathnote showed how to do it faster.[nothing against Monster, just studios making poor political decisions]
How could I forget Paranoia Agent?! I definitely underappreciated that when it was on TV, but Satoshi Kon's backlog is some powerful Psyfi. A real tragedy he never got to finish his last project, who knows if he rebounded after Parika.[Millenium Actress/Memories plots still freak me out] he went all Twilight Zone on anime, and then poof, he's dead.
I still have not gotten back to Ergo Proxy...might be instinct.
Gantz I can defend, they fucked up. They EXPANDED 1/3 of Gantz into 24 eps...BIG NO NO. Really painful filler in fight scenes where the characters stand around for multiple cutaways thinking about how much danger they are in, and then the end...it's so bad I tell people don't watch the last ep. Just take the good moments and walk away.
If you wiki the other 2/3s of Gantz manga, you will discover some seriously epic shit, that rightfully deserves it's Season 2[vampires/secret societies/Human group cowardice vs. Hero complex]. But they probably have to make a combat maid anime. :evil: [Nishii ruled, and Gantz saber wtf]
And then there's Elfen Lied...an anime so awful I had to redefine my AML listing of scores...
It was crudely drawn[I dl'd the manga to check], it was poorly produced[the backgrounds had more life and they were repetitive CGI leaves!], it had sooo much shock-gore/nudity[I was writing messages in blood with my mind], it was thinly disguised incestuous/harem anime under the guise of anti-Social gothic fanservice[I actually liked the cousin-love thread that they NEVER CONCLUDED]. The ending LITERALLY included characters sailing out of the plot on a boat...And the entire first 10 mins were stolen from Akira...just fucking awful. :psyduck: [only 2 side characters had any depth and they were only in 10% of the show].
Oddly enough, OP of that show is very worthy, baffles the shit out of me!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfTMxzB7hMc
I tried explaining this failure on IMDB.com and that was my first run in with "fanbois". I ripped them a new asshole. :still smug:
Honestly, if we never bring attention to 'it' again, the world will simply watch better anime.[hopefully]

Checking out Starship Operators, seems pretty good so far (just finished episode 2). Just the lack of artificial gravity makes it better than most other scifi anime.

Starship operators was pretty good, liked how the space combat in it had a pretty good touch of realism to it as compared to your standard space set anime, also it gets increasingly darker as it goes on. The char. development was perhaps the only area I would say needed improvement but then again there's only so much you can do in such a short run.

Can try Gungrave. I watched around 15 eps, 3 times, and never further than that because I keep forgetting I'm watching it until I forgot the story again. It's pretty good though :)
FLCL is also very good, didnt see it on your list.
You can try the original FMA, I personally didn't like Brotherhood as much as the original, but that might be just me.
I also watched Vampire Knight but since the Twilight craze been ashamed to recommend any romance involving vampires. In all seriousness it's a pretty corny but ok'ish vampire drama.
More anime's that I just remember I watched:
Hell Girl - Man this was terrible. I only watched a few eps but man, such a letdown. Story goes nowhere and the characters are either
A) completely unlikable
B) exist only for 1 ep and never get referenced again, or
C) Both, and the majority of the cast falls under C tbh.
Really hated this.
Blood+ Couldnt get into it at all, never watched more than 7 or so eps. Don't really remember why but I've tried multiple times to get into it but meh.

That's what the mill is saying, though there's a lot of Asian-American actors that are fucking pissed about it, George Takei even wrote a letter to the producer or something. Oh and every anime fan ever would go and burn their houses down.

also, i tried finding ZZ and 0080 but couldn't find them
You should be happy about not finding ZZ. It's bad. Not like gundam Z where some of the bad parts are "hah, lol, how dumb of the animators", ZZ is just bad bad. I only saw it by completist obsession, and I would more openly recommend people that they pour bleach into their eyesockets than watch this. It makes Turn A look good. ZZ is just 47 episodes of failure.
Continuity wise there's some stuff mentioned during ZZ about Marida (the quad-wing pilot in Gundam Unicorn) and her "sisters", but nothing one cant read off the web instead.
Gundam 0080 - War in the pocket, however, is quite ok, although somewhat slow-paced. Just 6 halfhour eps long though so it's passable.
It's a sidestory to the main gundam series (Gundam - Gundam Z), also set in the same universe/timeline.
It's not action-packed (with 2 eps, I beleive, completely devoid of action), but aside from that it brings more entertainment (and fills more bodybags) in 6 episodes than gundam ZZ does in 47.
Torrents on isohunt/demonoid do have very few seeders though *ponders*.

good find, but its a torrent, i found it in a newsgroup and i guess i might as well. i remember i saw quite a bunch of those when i was like fucking 13 or something.

Seikai no Senki (aka crest of the stars, banner of the stars) is an interesting take on the space opera series, and is pretty damn good. KAA made an encoding of season 1, good luck finding decent copy of season 2 or 3 though =\
Full metal panic - I didn't see this on any of your lists, but I'm sure you've seen it and Fumoffu.
Gunbuster - Aim for the Top: Only anime I know that has actually touched on relativity and near-C velocities in space, but its olllld and it shows. Avoid the redo, its fucking terrible.
Outlaw Star - Probably one of the only anime with a high-quality english dub in existence. Very similar in genre to cowboy bebop, but with more space ship combat.
Death Note - Didn't see it on either list, I'm sure you've seen it though.
Blue Submarine No. 6 - Only anime that does submarine combat that I know of, but the characters you'll probably want to strangulate. Worth watching for the sub action at least once tho, and its short vOv

While I agree about the series being catered mostly towards the same audience as twilight, this predates it and is at least somewhat entertaining to watch. Ending of season 2 was pretty crap though but wont spoil it.

So, watched first 25 eps of Legend of Galactic Heroes.
This is so un-anime-ish. It doesn't even look like anime and if it weren't for voice language, you would never know.
Important thing is, that doesn't make it any bad. It's just pure, space opera slash hard-SF. Not a single retarded anime meme in it.

Fine, I'll contribute something.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006 Animated) (Highschool girl gains the ability to travel through time therefore fucking it up and having to repeatedly fix things.)
Casshern Sins (Android Emo Jesus deals with being immortal in a world of robots scrambling to combat the fact they can die. Quite liked the animation style.)

Oh I totally forgot Entrox, get Break Blade (aka Broken Blade) OVA. 4 of the 6(?) total have been released so far. Fucking beautiful in 1080P, and its a unique take on the mecha genre.
Quoting myself cause your still missing it.
