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.

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

I want to suggest Angel Beats! , but you've watched it absolutely.

so how about Infinite Stratos and Sora no Otoshimono?

Yes.

1. Great Teacher Onizuka. It is a silly comedy and indeed does not have the moe factor that the three titles you listed have (I personally don't mind the lack of moe in the slightest, but eh). Some points get a little after-school-special-ish later on in the series, but it's still damn silly and funny. Easily one of my favourite comedies out there.
2. School Rumble. Basically, this is love polygon heaven. It is goofy about it every step of the way. Not the least bit serious. It has a special place in my heart and always lightens my mood.
3. And Yet The Town Moves. One of the more underappreciated Shaft shows out there. Also not a serious show (then again, you asked for comedies), and it is a little off-kilter at points. I still find a lot of the humor in this show genuinely funny and the last episode is both sad and amazingly funny.

Three shows that are definitely worth your time, if your funny bone agrees with silly.


Also just watch Welcome to the NHK. Dark, dark humor at its finest.

Give Oreshura a shot. Chuunibyou elements plus a nice three-character dynamic that eventually devolves into a harem, but then again I hate harem so it might be your thing.

Well, how about Special A, it's kinda similar to kaichou wa maid sama. Or ohshc, but I'm not very sure.

I would be REALLY grateful if anybody knows any good anime of that sort of genre (and also not included in the above) THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!

I totally need those -,-

1. Love Hina - Strong nostalgia on this title; one of the few titles which kicked off the harem stereotype and a somewhat likeable cast.
2. Mahoraba: Heartful days - Not a school setting but this is still quite enjoyable with the character interactions.
3. Angel Beats! - If you haven't seen this already it is probably then you've missed out on a really decent piece of anime. The anime keeps a continual check on quality from the opening, to the mid and finally with the closure.
4. Hachimitsu to Clover - Simply enjoyable and is something the base of Sakurasou can be taken from as it has a guy unsure with what to do with his life until meeting a certain talented girl.
5. Seto no Hanayome - This title really shows you how well comedy can be executed with a very enjoyable art style and character line-up to boot.
6. Seitokai Yakuindomo - A really comedic take on an all-girls school come co-education status.
7. School Rumble - One of the memorable and successful school themed based anime that actually proved to set standards for quite a few of the current day stereotypes. The only thing which was the shame in this series was the third instalment.
8. Kannagi - A really down to earth school life comedy with some really interesting concepts based around the cast.
9. Kimikiss Pure Rouge - Not really something that most would actually recommend but you could probably give it a shot.
10. Nyan Koi! - The interactions between the male protagonist towards both the female characters and the cats within the series (which he is allergic to) is quite nice.
11. Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai - I can see the ending! No idea how Manglobe managed to nail this correctly yet completely screw up Hayate no Gotoku.
12. Lamune - I would be surprised if anyone would even know of this anime; it's one of those rare slow romance types that you either come to like or not.
13. Seitokai no Ichizon - A really balanced harem comedy which for how much of the anime screen time in based purely in the one room is executed quite well. Avoid the second season as AIC ruined it.
14. Karin - Might appeal to you or someone else. Vampire female lead with a protagonist who finds out about her secret; love ensues!
15. Fortune Arterial: Akai Yakusoku - Looks pretty as the artwork was actually based off August's visual novel but the ending was sort of weak to me.
16. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun - Might appeal to you, might not. Think typical shoujo setting.
17. Shuffle! - I feel dirty even letting this have a placing in a recommendation list but it might be something you could enjoy. If you've read the visual novel of this you'll understand why I really dislike this.

1. Great Teacher Onizuka
2. Higashi no Eden
3. Nodame Cantabile
4. Lovely★Complex
5. Kimi ni Todoke

Simple; just watch every generic anime that somehow develops a fan base due to one or two of the female characters as the protagonist is either the dense, stereotypical harem lead or the kind that completely lacks any impact by themself.

Over all, most anime titles have become far too generic over the past few years as they take good qualities of decent, older titles and try to profit off them by poorly executing the characters in a (highly likely) copy/paste story setting with minimal effort in trying to create a unique story.

Let's use Shana from Shakugan no Shana for example; before she came along there was very minimal to zero focus on 'pettanko' (no, she's not a bloody loli you gits) and short characters as they were generally looked down upon. Then the anime aired and after that there was a rise in the 'new' stereotype (which actually existed before) of these pettanko and short tsundere types just exploded over the anime scene to the point where even only 2 years the character type was boring as heck to see in anime.

With a few rare exceptions like Taiga from Toradora! for example.

Biased view aside; here's a bunch of titles to venture a try at in no particular order:

1. Love Hina - Strong nostalgia on this title; one of the few titles which kicked off the harem stereotype and a somewhat likeable cast.
2. Mahoraba: Heartful days - Not a school setting but this is still quite enjoyable with the character interactions.
3. Angel Beats! - If you haven't seen this already it is probably then you've missed out on a really decent piece of anime. The anime keeps a continual check on quality from the opening, to the mid and finally with the closure.
4. Hachimitsu to Clover - Simply enjoyable and is something the base of Sakurasou can be taken from as it has a guy unsure with what to do with his life until meeting a certain talented girl.
5. Seto no Hanayome - This title really shows you how well comedy can be executed with a very enjoyable art style and character line-up to boot.

Rule of thumb: Don't just judge an anime by how 'pretty' it is as some tend to skimp on actual plot favouring just trying to make shit look shiny/moe (lol) focused as some of the older anime titles are really enjoyable and under appreciated.

Personal recommendations to anyone who hasn't seen these titles already (no additional information needs to be said):

1. Great Teacher Onizuka
2. Higashi no Eden
3. Nodame Cantabile
4. Lovely★Complex
5. Kimi ni Todoke

I'm searching for an anime in the genre of gore, resembeling the newly released Attack on Titan. Something including the Supernatural of course. I just want to see a brutal character with little care fo humanity and power. I've seen Guilty Crown, Death Note, Ganz, Deadman Wonderland,Naruto, Bleach, and many more. I actually do not mind if they are in Manga state right at the moment. Any suggestion is great.

How is Samurai Champloo?
My friend showed me a Youtube video of a trailer of it and it looks awesome.
Also, how long is it? if it's lengthy, are there a lot of fillers? because I have a pretty short attention span.
The short length of Mirai Nikki and the fact that something interesting/exciting was always happening was one of the things that really made me stick with it, if that gives you an idea of what kind of anime I'm looking for.

Samurai Champloo is an absolutely amazing anime, I promise. Its story follows a girl in search of a specific samurai who smells of Sunflowers and will be referred to as the Sunflower Samurai. The anime is fairly brutal, sparing no scene of blood shedding or destruction. It has great historical background and has some nonfictional plot which the watcher needs to be constantly reminded that it is NOT real or historically accurate. Highly recommended . ( Vulgar Language and Sexual Activity, as well as Blood and Gore warning. )

Are there any anime out there similar to Higurashi or Steins;Gate? I tried Umineko, but i dropped it at ep 2. Should I pick it up again? Other animes I enjoyed: Death Note, Code Geass, Darker than Black, Durarara, Mirai Nikki, Elfen Lied, Black Lagoon. Yeah I watch a lot of mainstream stuff. I like semi horror stuff, though as long as the story has a decent plot I'd probably enjoy watching it. (So please don't recommend stuff like SAO as it had one of the worst plots in my opinion. Not saying it's a bad anime though! It just wasn't made for me.)

I haven't found myself enjoying any anime too much the last few months, would be nice to pick one up again. If anyone has any recommendation at all based on my preferences, that would be highly appreciated.
