Do yourself a favour and watch these unless you haven't already:

1. Genshiken
2. Great Teacher Onizuka
3. School Rumble

Some other kind of titles that you could watch would be:

1. Azumanga Daioh
2. Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou

Not your standard slice of life/comedy anime, but I would also greatly recommend Shirokuma Cafe. If you continue to want something different, Kuragehime might be up your alley.

Not going for moe slice of life recommendations because those are overdone and kinda grating.

Looking slice of life/comedy anime?
maybe you should watch "Little Buster" or "Hyouka"
I'm greatly reccomend them
or maybe Slice of life with musical anime?
I would reccomend you "Tari Tari" or "Love Live!"

Watched Mononoke Hime and it was great!!! Thanks Mogs

Now searching for a good shounen anime, any genre but action. I don't mind old stuff as long as it's good

amnesia is the best!

I wouldn't really recommend Amnesia, myself, even as a fan of reverse harems/bishounen stuff in general. It's bland, predictable, and pretty boring. Each guy in the show has barely definable traits and it's one of the dullest uses of alternate dimensions I've ever seen. The only things that really stands out are the visuals, but you can't just have a decent art style (with horrendous fashion) without having good cinematography or (more importantly) a good script.

Better reverse harem titles include Ouran High School Host Club and potentially La Corda d'Oro.

Also, Sallad4ever: I didn't mean Mononoke Hime (although it is my favourite of Miyazaki's work!), but just Mononoke, the spin-off of Ayakashi. It's VERY similar to Mushi-shi.

Hi guys, came to request some suggestions. My favorite anime is Ouran High School Host Club, and some of the reasons I like it so much is that it pokes fun at a lot of genre conventions and I love how unique the characters are. Could anyone suggest animes with atypical (and likable) characters that also break away from what is normal for their genres?

Danshi Kokosei no Nichijou, Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, and (to an extent, simply due to a memorable cast and very silly nature) School Rumble.

Lucky Star plays so heavily into the tropes of its genre that I wouldn't count it.

lol, I only know Mononoke Hime so when you write Mononoke in your post I automatically think about the movie one. Still, it's a pleasant misunderstanding cause I fairly enjoy Mononoke Hime

Edit: ofc I'll watch Mononoke. The Anime image in MAL already made me drool

Not sure if this is the right place to ask (not reading the first page for the win), but which one would you suggest the most of these:
Tamayura, Gosick, Tari Tari, Hyouka or Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka?

It's the right place to ask, but it depends, really on what you want, as these shows are all differently-paced and have different sorts of execution.

If you want a pretty standard harem-VN adaptation, go for Akane-Iro. If you want a slower-paced slice of life, either Tamayura or Hyouka. If you want a slightly faster-paced slice of life, go for Tari Tari. If you want a mystery anime, go for Gosick.

Out of all of those, I'd suggest either Gosick or Tari Tari, just out of personal favourites.

Gosick will be the first then. Thanks!

I'm looking for comedy, the other genres is can be anything, preferably slice of life or school life. Please click my signature so you wouldn't suggest anything that on the list. thank you

Hi there, just posting here cause I wanted some anime suggestions, here's some anime I have watched and loved:

- Mushishi
- Darker than black
- Higurashi no naku koro ni (just first season... the second one was so-so )

Mayo Chiki! is the anime for you! Maids + comedy = one hell of an ride.

Just sayin'

-Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?
-Ore no Kanojo (oreshura)

As far as the catgirl suggestions are concerned: Ehh, not much fetish stuff is my field of expertise, but I guess Asobi ni Ikuyo! (catgirl aliens + girls with guns; I haven't seen much of it but I've heard mixed things) would fit your expectations. The episodes I saw still did have a lot of comedy, so hey.

Also, I wanted to just remind everyone of something. Textwall impending.

...we move on to the part of offering suggestions to particular users which is simpler if you do something that includes:

1. Try to break up certain aspects of your suggestion list by grouping similar anime together or, if they're after multiple genre requests, group them into their respective labels.
   Some people prefer being able to organise their plan-to-watch lists by watching one genre type at a time.
2. Possibly give your own short take on the anime titles which doesn't have to be much, even a few words is better than nothing at all.
3. Take into consideration of which anime they've listed as already seen or the comparative title they're after.
4. Offer a few anime titles at a time, even if they are the OVA of the same named anime title as most people might skip OVA, OAD or movies since they didn't know about them.

What I'm trying to get at by quoting the OP here is to not leave a list of "this is stuff I like go watch this now". We're supposed to be fulfilling search criteria from a poster, not just...offering blanket suggestions. There are guides on many websites for titles major anime fans should watch to just be in the know, so doing things like quoting those here does not help anyone (maybe adding lists like those to the OP would help).

Similarly, this is not a thread to just throw down titles you might like without any rhyme or reason. It makes the flow of the thread even more awkward, especially when you don't explain the reasoning for throwing down these titles.

Finally, at least pay attention to certain things when making suggestions. Like, if you have a request arranged like this:

Request wrote:

I watched and liked Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Black Lagoon. Where should I go next?

A good response would be the following:

Suggestion wrote:

I would suggest both seasons of Jormungand (Jormungand and Jormungand Perfect Order). They have a heavy focus on action, deal with bouts of moral ambiguity, feel very different from most other action anime, and have a mature look and feel to them. The emphasis on gunplay in its action make it more similar to Bebop and Black Lagoon compared to Champloo, but the fight choreography is still there and rather intense.

A mediocre response would be the following:

Suggestion wrote:

Watch Jormungand! It's full of action and Koko is a badass.

A bad response would be the following:

Suggestion wrote:

Watch Jormungand Koko is my waifu

An off-kilter response would be:

Suggestion wrote:

Um...Eureka Seven has action and nice animation, maybe check that out?

Notice that offering a more detailed suggestion would be able to possibly highlight elements of the show that people liked. It's a matter of finding plenty of similarities between titles, whether that'd be tonally, plot-wise, character-wise, animation-quality-wise, and so on. Generally, the more things two shows have in common while still being their own thing, the better the suggestion is. If they ask about a show you don't know about and don't provide detail on what they liked about it, do some research. Reading a plot synopsis/reviews on sites like Anime News Network or MAL generally can aid in making better suggestions.

tl;dr: Use your heads when making suggestions. It makes it much easier on the requester.

I'm trying to find a good anime that's emotional, but in the genre of shounen. Any suggestions?

The only one I can think of is BECK.

It's not as emotional as it make you cry river but for me, I like how they try to advance with their band and the interaction between the band mates. Also some occasion with the band playing their song on the stage is quite emotional for me.

PS: You can also some of the mainstream title (if you haven't watched them) like Gintama, they have some tear inducing moments in some of their arc.

Any suggestions for me to find a comedy anime besides Nichijou? :<

Just finish Starry Star. It was great. I actually cried at the end, it so sad . Any good Reverse Harem?

Gintama is a fantastic comedy
It' very long though, 252 episodes

Great Teacher Onizuka is also very good

ishimaru94 wrote:

Great Teacher Onizuka is a VERY silly comedy, very much in line with Nichijou in terms of its silliness, but not its over-the-top nature.

You've already seen Ouran High School Host Club, so not really. I kinda hesitantly recommend Code:Breaker, but I haven't finished it, so I can't fully get behind it. It's definitely a reverse harem, but the romance is definitely not the focus.

So I'm kind of wanting to get back into animu. Does anybody have any suggestions of what I should watch?

I'm looking more for happy Slice of Life stuff, but I'm down for a good variety of things to watch, as long as it's good

Anime List for Reference: (inb4 "omg you haven't even watched that much animu, what a loser) http://myanimelist.net/animelist/CDFA

So far, my plans are:

Finish Sword Art Online
Start Imouto (And assumedly finish. Same with everything below)
Start Madoka
Start High School DxD
Start Maid-Sama
Start Ika Musume S2
Start Steins;Gate
Start Oreimo
Start Infinite Stratos
What are you doing CDFA this is too much planning
Anything happens afterwards depending how I feel.

Is there anything I should change/add/drop?

Also, I'm planning on dropping OHSHC. It doesn't settle well for me at all, and I only watched it because I was told by someone I was fond of to watch it, but that's since failed. Good idea y/n

can anyone suggest "good" animus to watch with only 12 episodes or so. can be comedy, slice of life, romance, or horror. thanks.

Btooom has twelve episodes; it's a 'good' anime.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btooom!
Summary: Ryōta Sakamoto is an unemployed 22-year-old who lives with his mother. In the real world, there may be nothing really special about him, but online, he's one of the world's top players of the combat game called Btooom!. One day, he awakes in what appears to be a tropical island, though he has no memory of how or why he has come to be there. While wandering around, Ryōta sees someone and calls out for help. The stranger responds by throwing a bomb at him. Ryōta soon realizes both that his life is in danger and that he has somehow been trapped in a real-life version of his favorite game. In the game Ryota meets Himiko, who is another Btooom! gamer — and supposedly Ryota's in-game wife.

Mmm there's an ONA called Mangirl! has the same style as Yuru Yuri but based on the lives of some girls who are editors of manga
Another that is very moe is Acchi Kocchi >w<
