Anime Recommendations?
Ikrik:
Death Note, as I believed we've discussed, is great and amazing up until a certain point where it just majorly falls apart. It's clever and extremely tense and many of the scenes between L and Light are nailbiting. Then it gets to the point where you're bored and tired and just want the damn show to end. Honestly it would have worked a lot better as a 26 episode ordeal rather than a 37.
My friend recommends that everyone watch Casshern and Soul Eater, I haven't watched them yet but I will be soon.
She's also convinced me to start watching Shippuden...apparently that shit is DARK and Naruto actually grows the hell up. Is anyone still watching it?
Usopp:
Methinks I'd prefer the reading of Deathnote than the watching, because you can keep up with it at your own pace. I got all 12 of the books, and they were pretty text heavy, no matter what way you slice it, so I shudder to think what the anime did to alleviate that. However, I have heard some pretty good reviews of the anime, so I might be wrong.
PizzaSHARK:
Most (well, all) of the handful I like have been mentioned. So I'm just gonna back them up.
Ghost in the Shell, entire thing.
Cowboy Bebop.
Samurai Champloo.
FLCL (the timing with the music is what makes it so amazing.)
Berserk (manga is a thousand times better.)
Bleach (just don't pay attention to the plot or any dialogue and your brain should survive intact.)
Naruto Shippuuden (see above.)
Trigun.
Noir (friend recommended it. I don't like it much, but she loves it. Music is okay.)
Full Metal Alchemist (recommend English dub, Japanese people trying to pronounce English names is amusing at best. Lots of dead spots and ending sucks, but pretty good overall. Extremely addictive theme.)
Plenty of others that have good and bad parts. Trinity Blood's plot and action sequences suck, but the animation and art style are pretty fun. Wolf's Rain does not come close to meeting expectations, but at least it's pretty. Same for that "new" anime on Adult Swim with the spear lady. Very pretty, but nothing of worth inside (how like life.)
Evangelion, any Gundam, and Macross are fun for the HAHAGIANTROBOTCAGEMATCHFAPFAPFAP aspect. Eva gets bonus points for the protagonist just completely fucking losing it at the end. I think I would've been having too much fun tearing shit to pieces to be worried about some classmate or whatever.

I forgot to come back to this.
Trinity Blood would be passable if the characters didn't fucking bother me so immensely. Seriously, everyone's an angsty fuck who can't control themselves enough to do their goddamn jobs. It's as if the entire characterisation was designed around appealing to shallow goth kids, which isn't surprising given the aesthetic slant of the anime. At best, the characters are typical and predictable, and mind-numbingly rage-i-fying at worst.
Just about every stereotype is there.
In fact, all of Trinity Blood is basically based on skullfucking stereotypes into one another.
By the way, I bought the whole thing, six discs. I didn't get the last two discs - they simply weren't in the case. It says a lot about this anime that I simply don't care enough to go back to the store to bloody well show them what's up.
At least the design is absolutely fantastic, but that's where the awesomeness ends. From the robot saying "Positive" instead of "Affirmative" to the disgustingly unoriginal and pretentious attempts at philosophy, this anime is entry-level at best, and utter shit at worst.
One more nail in the coffin of the modern Vampire. It's a pretty huge shame to see such a potentially awesome monster crash and burn in shitty media.
/deep breath.
And I'm done.
Ikrik:
Hmm...Considering I was JUST about to go and download it too...ahh well.
Useless protagonists are starting to bug me in anime....as well as whiny females and the super-cool angsters. Amnesia as a character device has stopped bugging me.
What has happened to vampires in popular culture? The only really good vampire anime I can name off the top of my head is Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust...Are there any others? Please don't recommend Black Blood Blothers or Blood+...both of those were annoying with Blood+ being one of the angstiest things I've ever watched.
