Tbh, I've been trying to get into some good anime lately, and I CAN'T START CLANNAD. I..just...can't. Its supposed to be one of the best (or so people say), but..

;u;

And Cowboy Bebopdon'tmurdermeplease.
When I actaully start the episode, and I get around halfwaythrought it, I love it, but when it's done, I feel like I have to force my self to start a new episode. Now,I'm only a few episodes in so idk if it's gonna change but....

Clannad just ended up boring for me, thus out of any aisle of my list. People tend to drool over romances now matter how cliche or how annoying it is.

I guess it's because it's episodic? I kinda feel the same with Mushishi since there's not much of a head goal and when there's no main goal, you're just not on the edge of your seat. However when I start a new episode I just end up puking rainbows...

Everybody likes Rose of Versailles for some reason, but I just cant watch it. They're all saying its so good and all, but its just crappy cartoon in my opinion.

...what's Rose of Versailles? *scratches head*


Oh my...Historical shoujo anime with the typical disgusting shoujo art...Wouldn't watch it not even if someone would pay me for it.





ummm Rose of Versailles is not shoujo at all.. It is a historical drama. And the best 1 ever made. It was made in 78 so yea, it is aged. But that is hardly a reason to dislike a show. Everyone talking about it? Wrong. Very few people talk about it. A lot of people talk about Naruto or One Piece.

Madoka Magica and Evangelion. I watched both and I found them both to be pretentious and highly overrated. Madoka didn't offer anything that hadn't already been covered in a better title. NGE was just a typical end of the world nonsense that had inaccurate real world references. I get anno was crazy or whatever when he made the show, but that is no excuse for such a terrible story. I liked the ending and the animation though.

I started watching Clannad, like three episodes, and I just can't seem to continue it. Right now it's on my on-hold list, but I don't know if I'll ever continue watching it...I know most people like Clannad because After Story was just so heartbreaking (I wouldn't know), but I can't even finish the prequel. I was dozing off in all three of the episodes I watched, and I just couldn't continue.

Also Mahou Shojo Madoka Magica. It's on ptw list, but meh. It might be on that list for quite awhile.

Oh yeah, how can I forget Code Geass? It's on my on-hold list as well...watched 4 episodes but I don't know, still hasn't clicked with me yet. I don't like Lelouch so far, and it's not like I anything against evil- people-who-want-justice-to-be-done type of characters either (I liked Light).

I guess it's because he yaps too much, that's probably 1 quality i dislike about him. I guess most girls like him because of that shower episode.

....not that I liked him for that reason too. >_>

tbh, I can't really stand the art style of One Piece.

46 completed that i can remember from the past 5-6 years. why should amount completed matter anyways? if it's good it's good.

Sorry if I was being prude. Most of your completed anime was shounen and fantasy.
So I thought maybe it is not your genre. That post was just a sarcasm.
Still evangelion is very good to me.

I like twisted anime. It has very good twists and plot.
Plot is more philosophical then mecha which is I like too. And it has good pace.

I bit disappointed after watching last 2 episodes (Many people disappointed I think). Still was good for me

Fixed, and I actually suggest you try to rewatch it. It gets REALLY good around episode... 4 I think? I can't remember.

Same goes for Steins;Gate, it gets pretty good around the episode 12 mark. The rest are meh.

Try watch Steins;Gate.
IMO:
Episode 1-11: character introduction and kind of a background story for the next arc. It's very very very boring (for me), but just try to watch it because..
Episode 12 (especially the ending): BOOM.
Episode 13-end: can't stop watching.

Besides Steins;Gate, my friend also recommended Clannad and Madoka Magica. But I guess I'll skip Clannad (not my liking) and try to watch Madoka Magica (later).

For me it's Madoka Magika, no doubt it's Madoka Magika.
I've had it recommended to me since it first began airing, but I only ever watched a single episode.
I'll probably watch it eventually though.

Others include:
Gurren Lagann
Haruhi Suzumiya
Clannad

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is the first half of the story, and is considered the mystery portion, you're left to ponder what is happening based on different viewpoints and different possibilities.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai is the second half of the story, which is the answers portion. They start explaining what is happening and work towards a resolution. This part is also a bit less psycho and more uplifting, and serves well to relieve the tension build up in the first half.

Anyway, I would recommend sticking with it .. but if you really can't wait, then all your answers are in Kai.

Dropped it after the three episode rule. I just don't understand all the hype for it. Admittedly slice-of-life is not my favorite genre to say the least but still there are much better ones out there.

I would say Death Note. I am considering watching it but I always fall back on my decision. either because it looks too long or because the plot itself doesn't captivate me that much.
