Any Good Anime Recommendations?
Ok, to get straight to the point, I've just finished watching Death Note in its entirety, and have become absolutely obsessed with it. However, now that it is over, I need something else to tide me over, so I need recommendations!
Buying full seasons isn't cheap, so I want to make sure I am not wasting my money and that I get something I actually like. So keep in mind that Death Note was absolutely perfect for me, and try to use that for recommendations. I'll list some of my preference regarding different things. First thing's first, I don't want anything that is too sexually explicit. Death Note didn't have anything too sexual, other than the little glimpse of some of the female characters while showering, etc, but it wasn't anything out of hand, I was fine with that. However, less is better for me, I'm looking for something that has a bigger focus on story and action, as opposed to sexual content. Secondly, I like a lot of action, and violence doesn't phase me, so don't worry about that. I like fantasy elements, but am still content with some more modern and realistic ones as well. Death Note did a great job at blending the two, which worked really well. So that pretty much sums it up. I hope there are enough of you that like animes to help me out here. |

I don't know if people consider it Anime. But according to wiki and people I talk to it is, I would suggest Avatar the Last Airbender. It shocked me, I thought it would be a kiddy cartoon but it deals with death, love, war, and politics (it gets very dark in season 2 & 3). There are a lot of beautiful action scenes, and M. Night Shyamalan is adapting the 3 seasons into a trilogy. IMO it is a great series and highly underrated.

Another good one is Full Metal Alchemist. Last edited by Carbonek_0051; 24-01-09 at 06:28. |

Not quite good art direction but the story is amazing and quite blasphemous!

Unfortunately this season only covers episode 1: Der Wille Zur Macht You'll have to play Xenosaga Episode II and III to finish the trilogy on PS2. In fact I would actually recommend playing the games instead of the animation but to each their own. Some complained because the cutscenes would take as much as half an hour.

I never got what that silly Avatar show was all about, I always thought it was about a little square that was 128x128 and under 15k kb.. oh just kidding!
But.. Full Metal totally rocks, I used to love watching it on Cartoon Network! It's a shame I don't think they run it anymore. And that reminds me, another one of my favorite anime's is Case Closed: It was just awesome, agent Conan. |

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I've seen part of the first avatar season, but I'm looking for something more mature. Same goes with pokemon. I'll look into these other ones and get back with y'all, thanks so much. |
