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.CDFA wrote:
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
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.
