| A first overview of your list tells me your taste seems fine. Some minor hick-ups. I dunno how GC is better than Bebop but I haven't finished the latter myself yet, so I wont rant. Over all decent taste, I guess. Could lower School Days to a 2 though. Anyway.... regarding dropped / on-hold shows. I'd recommend Casshern Sins, Bakemonogatari and Last Exile from your on-hold list. Oh fuck you dropped Aria...what the...?! Just watch the best SoL franchise! Pick it up! Same goes for Nana...great music, cool characters, good development and nothing over dramatised but quite the realistic drama with realistic problems. So Ra No Wo To once you love SoL after Aria. Steins;Gate...yea the start seems strange. All worth it in the end. Aside from all those I can only recommend Hunter x Hunter 2011 if you want an airing shounen. |

| HxH old anime is better imo, HxH 2011 will be longer but the plot is the same so anyone can watch one then the other |
| Hmm, any opinions on my ratings or taste? Also is there anything you'd consider a ''must-watch'' on my ptw list? |

There were a few others which I have heard great things about, but I haven't seen them myself, so I can't comment on them. |
 |
| Everything on Haakon has already said, plus Ima, Soko ni Boku (Now and Then, Here and There) and Samurai Champloo. I can't comment on Nodame Cantabile and Juuni Kouki but heard only good things about them. |

Honestly, I can't stop laughing at you saying Air is an overrated Key anime, but then you say Clannad is the greatest romance of all time. Your 6 on Oban also makes me sad but isn't surprising. Overall you have pretty typical tastes, which is fine if that's just what you like. |
sushi55 said: Would anyone have the pleasure of judging my tastes? I would love to hear your opinions. I would question rating Toradora!, Durarara!!, SnK, and Geass R2 over LotGH, but other than that your list looks good. I'm starting to feel awkward judging people when I've never been judged, so would anyone mind evaluating my taste? |

| @moichispa You should probably check out some older shows, seeing that Utena is the oldest show on your list. As for other suggestions, based on your on-hold and PTW lists, I recommend: Casshern Sins, Boogiepop Phantom, Now and Then, Here and There, Tweeny Witches, Aria, Simoun, Steins;Gate for "surefire" shows, and if you're willing to take the gamble, Bakemonogatari (it's one of my personal favourites, but from an objective perspective it's more of a guilty pleasure show), Shigofumi and Taishou Baseball Girls. @Dreamsmatic Nothing stands out too much on your list except that high score for Hitman Reborn I guess, as for stuff on your PTW that you should check out I suggest: Baccano, Beck, Boogiepop Phantom, Darker than Black, Genshiken, Gunslinger Girl (only the first season however), Beyond the Clouds, The Promised Place, Katanagatari, Paranoia Agent, Nodame Cantabile, Now and then, Here and There, RahXephon, Tokyo Godfathers (and other Kon's movies if you haven't seen them), Towards the Terra, Stellvia in Space, Samurai Champloo, Book of Friends seqeuel(s), and if you're willing to take the gamble, Shigofumi, Only Yesterday, Rumbling Hearts, Kokoro Connect, Kids on the Slope. @sushi55 You seem to be oriented towards action and shounen as a demographics for the most part, though Haruhi and Penguindrum on top of your ratings suggest otherwise, other than that, same as moichispa, I suggest you check out some older shows from the 80's or even the late 70's if you have no problem with older artstyle in general. |

I especially like seeing FLCL in your favourites Only thing I'd consider to highly rated would be Nichijbros I wasn't sure how to rate Nichibros, because I couldn't tell what I thought was so great about it, I only knew it was the funniest anime I'd ever seen. It wasn't the most clever or the most vulgar or anything, but it made me laugh the hardest. Of course, I still have Detroit Metal City on my PTW, so that distinction might not last from what I've heard about DMC. |

| @Popka Overall great taste, but I'm curious, why such a high rating for Digimon Tamers? Don't get this the wrong way, but the first two seasons of Digimon are usually considered as the best of the franchise, so I'm interested in hearing a different opinion. Didn't you find the concept of Digimon fusing with humans to be a bit creepy? |

Didn't you find the concept of Digimon fusing with humans to be a bit creepy? Season 2 of Digimon wasn't nearly as good as 1 and 3. It was full of plot holes and character that just trailed off in quality. And creepyness was sort of a big part of Tamers. It abandoned a lot of its Fantasy roots from the first season and went straight Sci-Fi. It was keeping up with its fans as they grew, matured, and wanted something more. |

Didn't you find the concept of Digimon fusing with humans to be a bit creepy? Haha, I guess it could be seen as a little creepy. Although it reminded me more of mecha, at least in MegaGargomon's case. Spoiler tags, because I could go on all day about it. |
Popka said: Tamers can be DARK. There is some very creepy imagery later on in the series What, you mean like this? |
| It is, for the guy who made Serial Experiments Lain. |

Curiosity though,what do you not like about Clannad's romance aspects? Just curious about that as well as your signature. |
| "The more inexperienced you are, the more you want to show off." - Oreki, Hyouka |
| @Popka I agree about the part of character portrayal and development, Tamers definitely had more room for that, considering there are three main characters for the most part instead of a whole squad of them, and trying to flesh out, even a little, such a cast, takes a lot of time which could be used in showing different perspectives of each character and the situations they find themselves in. |

| Thanks for the suggestion. I usually don't ask for suggestions because I always get tons of fanboys suggestions I don't care for but all series you recommended looks promising. |
| Recommend me something. Come on, you know you want to |
AmberlehMay 10, 2013 1:08 AM
 |
| This is no longer a rate my list thread. This is a 'recommend me something BASED ON my list'. Thank you. =) |
| Okay, then do that thing |
|
| SaberRitsu : 1 ) Heldensagen von Kosmosinsel 2 ) Ginga Eiyū Densetsu 3 ) LotGH 4 ) Legend of the galactic Heroes :) I see that you didn't read Berserk, Berserk is the best dark fantasy manga, the anime is a classic too but it cover 1/2 of the story and had low budget If you're fan of Saber I guess you played FSN, then even if it's 70% translated ( and will probably not be fully translated until 3-5 years ) Fate Hollow Ataraxia is a must. If you liked Kara no Kyoukai 1 I suggest watching the rest until at least the fifth, this one is without doubt the best of the series |

Burningblade04 said: can someone recommend me another good cyberpunk or dystopian anime/manga based on my list? Angel's Egg Mind Game Serial Experiments Lain Psycho pass Ergo Proxy Eve no Jikan : ( Watch the movie not the ONA since it covers it anyway.) Jin-Roh |
|
| ^ Oh lol sorry for some reason I read ''dystopian'' as ''dementia'' ._. as for ergo proxy I don't know I didn't watch it maybe you should ask Tavor or Neanne since they have seen them both. |
|
Burningblade04 said: >psycho piss lol no I already watched almost all of them, Angel's Egg doesn't count as it's an artsy anime with no actual plot to speak of, Mind game is more like another artsy anime on hallucinogens and isn't Eve no Jikan a sci-fi? Can't really think of anything else besides ergo proxy, there really isn't anyone prominent in the staff besides Watanabe Shinchiro though. How is it compared to texhnolyze? I'd say Sato is pretty prominent as well. He has a pretty impressive resume. As for how they compare, very similar actually. They're both very dark, fairly slow paced, but provide a bit of food for thought. If you liked Texhnolyze You'll probably like Ergo Proxy. |
|
| There are definitely similarities, but overall Texhnolyze is a step above Ergo Proxy imo. I'd still say to give EP a go though. |
 |
| burningblade : Try Shinsekai Yori if you want a distopian anime, some persons on this club think it's unremarkable but I consider it as one of the best anime ever made and for sure I'm not alone having it among my favourite animes. Considering you like Muv Luv Alternative it might be a good anime for you ( those two have completely different stories but gave me similar feelings, SSY is close to horror ) |
| I would really appreciate some recommendations, picking shows at random has only sort-of been working out for me =) |
RarityRoyale said: I would really appreciate some recommendations, picking shows at random has only sort-of been working out for me =) Hm, could go either way for you, but, Mawaru Penguindrum? You might like the way it simply unraveled into something completely different than originally intended, *almost* like NGE. Edit: I see you have Utena as a favorite. In comparison, I've heard Penguindrum is less grand, so just keep that in mind (have yet to watch Utena, but I plan to nearly soonish). |

RarityRoyale said: I would really appreciate some recommendations, picking shows at random has only sort-of been working out for me =) Watch Mawaru penguindrum I don't think it is good or anything but I think you will appreciate it by the same director/creator of Utena so Metaphors and symbolism etc.. and maybe try Shiki , Eden of the east and Bakemonogatari. |
RarityRoyale said: I would really appreciate some recommendations, picking shows at random has only sort-of been working out for me =) I still need to watch it myself, but try Rose of Versailles. It is said to be very similar to Utena and is probably what Utena was based on. Give Penguindrum a shot as well, as others are saying, but it isn't nearly as grand as Utena. I'll second Eden of the East but don't watch Bakenmonogatari. You're a shoujo fan, Baken is a harem. |

I'll second Eden of the East but don't watch Bakenmonogatari. You're a shoujo fan, Baken is a harem. No it is not. I would advice you not to comment on something you only saw 2 episodes of , If anything bake is a pseudo-harem the only resemblance it has with other harems that it has more females than males in it. Bakemonogatari mainly focus on heavy dialogue , witty character interaction , a little bit of action and Araragi and Hitagi's romance. FYI Bakemonogatari is actually popular among female viewers not the sequel though. |
Amberleh said: In any case it's on her PTW so she can take or leave either of our opinions. |
| @rarity I see you appreciate Sora no Woto which means you automatically have excellent taste. jk. Aria is quite similar to it in terms of world-building but has a completely different atmosphere and outlook. Haibane Renmei is also somewhat similar, but I have yet to complete the show so it might not be a completely accurate rec. Kobato. is a heartwarming story with meaningful messages and stars CLAMP as its original creator, suggesting it since you liked CCS. I consider this a quality show to an extent and it's definitely worthwhile. Some people did not like the initial slow pacing and series structure though. @Araragi Bakemonogatari has been vastly discussed in this club before you joined so neither Amber or the rest of the club is really ass-pulling anything. In any case Bakemonogatari is awesome not a series one should miss on unless he/she has a personal dislike of the style. I'd say watch and make your own opinion I guess. |
 |
| Since you already have Cromartie Highschool in your Plan-to-Watch list, I recommend that. It's been a while since I've watched it, but from what I remember, it was pretty funny. The characters are great, with some really ridiculous "highschoolers" like a gorilla, Freddie (Mercury) and Mechazawa. I prefer the manga over the show though, as it gave me more laughs. |
