I'm looking for comedy anime with preferably catgirls (and maids are never a minus). Only similar anime that I have watched is Mayoi Neko Overrun!. I tried watching Nyan-koi but I didn't like that.
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?

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. :D
A bad response would be the following:

Suggestion wrote:

Watch Jormungand Koko is my waifu :oops:
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? :<
DX5536
Just finish Starry Star. It was great. I actually cried at the end, it so sad :cry:. Any good Reverse Harem?
SPOILER
I already watch Uta no prince-sama and Ouran High School Host Club
Foxclore
Gintama is a fantastic comedy
It' very long though, 252 episodes

Great Teacher Onizuka is also very good

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.

DX5536 wrote:

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

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.

I'll start off by saying I haven't seen loads of anime either, but I can tell you a few things about some of the titles you have here.

Sword Art Online will only come out as good to you if you like MMORPGs and other similar genres. The characters are weak, Kirito seems invincible but the combat scenes are epic enough to make up for it. The ending is great, too.

Steins;Gate is my favourite anime I've watched so far. It's pretty much split into two halves, the first 12ish episodes are a slice of life comedy, building towards the second half. You will be confused by what is going on until you finished the series/watched further episodes, but you will like it. The second part is the most creative use of time travel I've seen, it is VERY dramatic and most likely will make you cry for a bit. I'm still questioning how on earth the main character maintained his sanity after going through all of it. The Characters and story are the strongpoints here, everything pieces together and when it clicks, that is when you recognize how amazingly creative the writers are. It's a fairly slow start, but since you enjoy slice of life you won't mind.

I couldnt' watch more than 2 episodes of madoka, I just can't handle the magical girls genre at all. 0 interest.


Hope this helped a bit.
