Anime anyone?

Reaction to the dub has been somewhat muted, with people saying that Senketsu should be older sounding, and that Satsuki isn't sufficiently authoritative. Oh, and Mako mispronounces her own surname! For my part, I'll wait until the voices are fully processed and mixed into the soundtrack before judging. However, the initial release in multiple small volumes will add up to silly prices in the first instance, so that may not be for a while.

Oh, I guess I should link to this here in case you don't go into Make. My first-ever attempt at fan fiction (it follows Evangelion Q).

I've been wanting to watch more anime, but I'm not quite sure what to get into. I've been out of the loop for the last few years, so I'm not sure what's really good, and what to avoid. I have seen the first season of Attack on Titan and enjoyed it.
Personal favorites include Samurai Champloo, Berserk, Last Exile, Claymore and Gurren Lagann, to name a few.
--- Quote from: pwhodges on 28 May 2014, 05:24 ---I'd also suggest Gunbuster and Diebuster, but incredibly, they've never been dubbed. If I start mentioning more, though, the list would grow to a whole page, so I'll stop here, even though I have yet to mention some of the very best...

I LOVED Gunbuster andDiebuster. A nice amount of feels were had towards the end. I'd like to know what else you might suggest.

Glad to see Last Exile in your list; it's often passed over, it seems to me. Now and then, here and there is another I came across at the same time, and enjoyed a lot.
If you're happy with subs, then some recent things become available to consider. Kill la Kill is unmissable (from the staff who made TTGL) for OTT excitement. If you also enjoy slow character studies, and a leaning towards Japanese mythology, then Uchouten Kazoku (The Eccentric Family) is a recent favourite of mine, and Kyousougiga is also interesting (both are strongly based on actual scenes in Kyoto). I like [C] - The Money of Soul and Possibility Control (the name is a bit fluid), which turns economics into an alternate-world adventure; though people seem to have stopped talking about it.
A surreal film that I regard very highly is Mind Game (God is one of the characters). And for the ultimate in exciting animation of the highest quality, Redline - leave your brain in bed, though, as it has an inane plot and no message of any kind.
Oh, and how did I forget to mention the -monogatari series (Bakemonogatari, Nisemonogatari, Nekomonogatari, and Monogatari series 2). A study of the mind of a sexually confused teenager; very wordy indeed, because you get the characters' thoughts as well as their speech, so you need to be happy to read subtitles and flash cards very fast indeed, and be prepared to pause or scroll back to keep up (some people find the incest arc in Nisemonogatari a bit hard to take).
