Not holding back, eh.

Lain's been on my Plan-to-watch for ages, too, and just yesterday started downloading Texhnolyze. Will check the other two, thanks.

Hi, I'm looking for any good anime movie that's at least over a hour long. Here is a list of the ones I've already seen.

Also, please don't suggest the eva movies because I'm planning to watch them when the 4th one comes out~

Terra e... and Arashi no Yoru ni.

Clannad and Angel beats -> Sad sad sad.

Anything from Hayao Miyazaki honestly. You've most likely already seen Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Totoro but try some of the lesser known stuff too like Howl's Moving Castle or Porco Rosso.

And if you want something incredibly sad and realistic try Grave of the Fireflies.
Mogsy
If you want something sad, I'd also recommend Barefoot Gen.

I'd also recommend Mind Game, just for a trippy experience.

Do you guys know animes similar to Freezing/Sekirei or One Kagayaku Kisetsu E ?
If there is Ecchi, then please a bit fighting too. Not too long or short, 24-26 episodes or 2 Seasons.

Thx
Lance

Tokyo Godfathers. Very appropriate since it was recently Christmas time.

Both of these are a stretch, but Toaru Majutsu no Index and Infinite Stratos are kinda similar. Both are much more light hearted, but Index has the fighting mixed with ecchi scenes and Infinite Stratos has girls with abilities most guys don't have. Index currently has two 24 episode seasons and a movie (not out on BD yet) while Infinite Stratos has one 12 episode season and an OVA.

I am back, looking for more anime suggestions! =D

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Justykanna

There's a link what I've watched.

-Action, with some form of love story on the side.
-Mecha works for me sometimes, as I loved Gundam 00 and Gundam SEED Destiny. Macross Frontier wasn't bad either.
-HD would be nice, but not necessary.
-Not buttloads of blood (Blood+ was probably pushing it a bit for me).
-It would be nice to have something not exceeding ~50 episodes, but not limited to that.

Thanks!
Lance

Full Metal Panic! and it's later seasons fit all of those. I now see you have this in On-Hold.

Maybe Code Geass? Definitely worth the watch despite somewhat lacking in the romance department. Another choice would be Escaflowne which is much better in terms of romance.

It's on-hold because I can't convince myself to finish the first season, despite being like... five episodes from the end. I just don't like the series, for whatever reason. I'll finish it someday... I think...
Code Geass might be worth looking into - Gundam 00 had little in the romance part too but I absolutely loved it.
Escaflowne? I think I watched an episode or two eons ago but I can't remember.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Uh, just came around watching The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
Certainly a pleasure to watch!
Has anybody else any movies like that? I have basically watched everything by Miyazaki and also 5cm per Second.

hmm does anyone got some good underated anime ?

Look through the rest of Mamoru Hasoda's work if you liked The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Summer Wars and The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki are the first two immediate suggestions that come to mind.

If you liked 5 Centimeters Per Second, then you'd probably do yourself a favor in checking out the rest of Makoto Shinkai's filmography. However, I honestly believe he makes the same film over and over again (filling something to the brim with artificial nostalgia), so the only other thing of his I'd truly suggest is the short film She And Her Cat.

uh sure whatever works for you I guess bro (pretty sure that's FILLED TO THE BRIM with sexual tension, which is still tension)

As far as good, relaxing anime is concerned, there is a type of anime floating around referred to as iyashikei, where essentially a sort of Zen-like state is what is intended. Standout titles I'd recommend from this include:

  1. Aria The Animation/Natural/Origination
  2. Mushishi
  3. Sketchbook: Full Color's

Shirotaku wrote:

Hataraki Man and Flag. For two different reasons, but yes, they're absolutely fantastic.

It depends what specifically you like...

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is my favourite right now. Unless you're in love with subs, I highly recommend the English dub.
Maybe Claymore or Witch Hunter Robin? I wasn't in love with either but they're both action oriented.
Just from a quick browse, it doesn't look like you watch mecha, which has been the bulk of what I've been watching lately.

Just for your infomation. Don't watch Princess Lover's OVA. Why ? Because it's a H...(What is H ? Ask the others or me)
Nostalgia
Girls with katanas and always love some lolis in the right animes.

Looking for the best animes that you people have seen in each category. I'm not necessarily picky. But PLEASE NO YAOI!!!

Your favorite anime for each category:
-Action
-Romance
-Sad
-Ecchi
-Horror
-Comedy
-Mystery
-Other Genres :shock:


My favorites have to be the Monogatari series.

Good night guys. <3
Lance
-Action: Fate/Zero probably. Hard to think of these right on the spot.

-Romance: Nodame Cantabile. By and far the best executed romance in anime imo.

-Sad: Not an anime series, but I recommend Byousoku 5 Centimeter if you want something that will bring a tear to your eye.

-Ecchi: I guess Mayo Chiki, although I'm not a fan of the "genre". Mayo Chiki just managed to make me smile.

-Horror: Shiki. Hard to do good horror in anime, but Shiki is decent

-Comedy: Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu will have you laughing the whole time you watch. Definitely my favorite.

-Mystery: Monster. The anime is fine, but the manga is superior.

I've had Fate/Zero on my list but I'm still working up to it
Byousoku 5 Centimeter already came out!? I remember watching the trailer like it was yesterday...
Never heard of Nodame Cantabile but since you recommended it, it's worth a watch!
I love comedy! That's what I enjoy about ecchi animes, forgot to include that.
I think I've seen a bit of Shiki, but I could be wrong. ö
YES! Baka to Test was hilarious! But I was a bit upset about the 2nd season. ):
Haven't heard of Monster, but again it's worth a try!
Thank you so much!

Hey guys, I've a question. After watching Clannad after story make me pissed off because of Tomoya. But I still like the base of the story. So I search for something similar and i found Kimi ga Nozomu Eien and Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora. So which one should I watch first ?
