Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is supposed to be pretty good along those lines too, as far as plot-twist and mind-hump, but I could never get into it. EDIT: I see a few others named it. Revolutionary Girl Utena is awesome. But I would say that. EDIT: I'm going to go ahead and drop Haruhi in here as a recommendation for psychological-type show, it's not as heavy or as actiony as the other stuff listed here, but does have that 'what's going on here' aspect to it. | ||

The One-of-those-guys-that-always-recommend-VN-and-say-anime-is-inferior says BUMP. If we are recommending well-known series I guess I could suggest "Legend of Galactic Heroes" (Genre: Space Opera), though it is somewhat of a niche and takes a while to build a pace due to its length (110 EP). I definitely recommend watching movie "My Conquest is Sea of Stars" and "Overture to a New War" first though in order listed, all available via youtube. | ||

Also, I just recently watched escaflowne for the first time, and I really, really liked it. I put it up there with Death note, although I feel like the last few episodes of escaflowne were a little weak. For comedy, I think nothing beats Azumanga Daioh :D It starts a little slow, but it's so amazing. | ||

I'll recommend Speed Grapher. It involves a context similar to Death Note with a hero exacting vigilante justice upon a contemporary society, though thematically it concentrates more on the sins he excises than mystery-logic battles. It also focuses more on systemic entrenchments in society, as in corruption and perversion of VIPs instead of traditionally indicted criminals. | ||

Only Animes i like are Kino's Journey, Last Exile, Black Lagoon, Full Metal Panic and Final Fantasy Unlimited (which i've only seen a few episodes of, but my impression is that it's entertaining and worth watching). I'm no Anime fan, but i absolutely loved those series and still do rewatch them. Black Lagoon is a very action-packed anime. I'd recommend it the most out of these  Last Exile is not as action-packed as Black Lagoon but nontheless very entertaining. I'd recommend it if you don't want nonstop action but would enjoy something very well made and fresh. Kino's Journey is the anime i used as my nickname, it's mostly philosophic but very enjoyable. I've only seen the first series of Full Metal Panic!, but i liked it. Also, if you enjoy realistic stuff like lac29 mentioned. I'd recommend Perfect Blue, not a series but a very good anime psychological thriller. + Show Spoiler + If you do end up watching anime movies, then the pieces of art from Studio Ghibli are mandatory to watch. So fucking good  | ||

Monster is SO good. So is Last Exile. Glad to see both mentioned in this thread. I'm actually rewatching Last Exile as we speak. | ||

Also, there are a lot of anime that start off promising but storyline-wise go bad quickly... and so overall I wouldn't recommend them. Animes in general also, imo, are known to have poor finales/wrapups (Trinity Blood is the most obvious ex of an anime that starts off good but goes bad quickly). So beware. | ||

Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen Shigurui Kaiba Elfen Lied One Outs (.hack//Sign) - really good if you like awesome music and the concept of this anime Neon Genesis Evangelion Akagi Full Metal Panic! Mugen no Ryvius Baccano! X Zipang Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Xam'd: Lost Memories Seirei no Moribito Detroit Metal City Texhnolyze Berserk Bokurano Serial Experiments Lain Can recommend them regardless of what genre you prefer. Overrated: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - was too retarded imo, I mean...connecting(two robots) with style is more important than the own life and that of another person? One of the most stupid things I've ever seen but well, it's "comedy", so what would you except? Fullmetal Alchemist - dropped it after episode 26, it was just a too generic shounen anime for my taste On March 25 2011 06:34 Latham wrote: Drop by our thread sometime and discuss what you watched  .
