I highly recommended Darker than Black but you should watch season 2 first. I did this by mistake and it is excellent. Season 2 disappointed alot of people. By watching season 2 first you have no knowledge of the plot and have no connection with any of the characters from season 1 and can appreciate it more and season 1 is still just as good.



That's probably a great way to go about it. I actually enjoyed season 2 to an extent, but it was severely lacking in my favorite part of the first season.

WTF where's Yin?


Watching the second season first would be a pretty cool experience, I imagine.

Yeah, if you liked Death Note and Code Geass (who didn't?) then you definitely need to watch Darker than Black. I'd actually recommend that you just watch the first season and skip the second entirely. I don't remember everything from the second, but just that it excluded and degraded everything I enjoyed about the first season (atmosphere, characters, etc).

I know they've been mentioned but I definitely recommend yuyu hakusho and serial experiments lain. They're nothing alike, but both really good.

Yu Yu Hakusho really surprises me, because it's a "power-up" type anime (dragon ball z etc) but it has a solid plot all the way through, and pretty realistic characters (in terms of personality obviously, yusuke is fucking awesome).

Lain is just a mindfuck. But really interesting, it won't make sense for the first 5-6 episodes though.
We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

... Yu Yu Hakusho... god that brings back memories. I forgot I still have that on my HDD... going to re-watch that. It was one of those super-power action shows like DBZ towards the end, but I thought they gave rational explanations for MOST of the insane power-ups, unlike DBZ where the hero just got stronger all the time for no real reason other than he wanted to.

Haha, moe blob. K-On! still sits into the slice of life category though.

wow, yea those 2 lists are SICK, amazing anime in there THANKS. when in doubt, pick one from those list.

I'd suggest:
Berserk - my favorite anime, EVER. it's just so LEGEN...DARY. dark fantasy/action/mature
Neon Genesis Evangelion - absolute classic, angsty, kinda psychological/ philosophical at the end, mecha/alien
Golden Boy - very short, but VERY fun :D study study study
GunGrave - I almost forgot about this one, one of the few that really worked my emotions

But there are just so many anime worth watching that it doesn't make any sense to just list them. What kind of anime are you looking for?

If you liked Code geass and death note you'll really enjoy 'Darker than Black' it's a very good anime. Other animes that may interest you could include Bakuman ( the next work by the mangaka who did Death Note), Monster (dark, mystery based anime - I suppose in a lot of ways you could relate it's vibe to Death Note although the plots differ greatly),
Try hard or don't try at all.

Haruhi was only mentioned twice so far...

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu Seasons 1&2, and after that get your hands on Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu, a movie.
Season 1 was aired in a special order, ideally you would watch it like that.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I know how you feel. I dropped that anime after watching 7ish episodes because the characters are so despicable. I ended up reading summaries of the episodes instead, and I'm glad I didn't watch + Show Spoiler +
the guy take advantage of Kotonoha. Also, nice boat.



I don't think it's been mentioned many times yet, but watch Neon Genesis Evangelion.

If you want to watch some less serious anime, something to make you laugh or just make you feel good; consider watching K-On!

Many people consider Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (aka The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi) a classic, so you might want to check that out as well. Personally, I didn't enjoy it that much. Especially the second season. (fucking endless eight -_-) The way this show's second season works is a little bit confusing, in that the second season basically just added in twelve episodes in between the first season's episodes (you can refer to here for the chronological order which isn't actually the broadcast order, your choice whether you want to watch it chronologically or in broadcast order.)

One of my favourites is Angel Beats! which, I will admit, made me tear up a couple of times (re:2 times, and every time I hear a specific song, I get sad again.)

Overall, I think you should watch anime from some different genres first, to get a feel for what genre of anime you like. For example, I enjoy watching harem anime because the main character's are usually incredibly oblivious to the advances of their love interests. This, among other characteristics of the genre, usually provide some good laughs.

However, I can see why many people may find it incredibly idiotic, as many anime series of this genre have little to no plot/character development.

If you had an idea of which genres you didn't like, I could provide better suggestions to fit your tastes.

I honestly dont watch much anime but I recently saw "Now and Then, Here and There". Superb storytelling in my opinion. - A young boy suddenly finds himself in a post apocalyptic desert world where water is scarce and children are kidnapped by the military to serve the emperor.

From wikipedia: "Although it may seem like it at first, this is not a lighthearted series. Much of the series deals with serious moral issues relating to war, the consequences of war, rape, democide, human brutality and the exploitation of children."

Its only 13 episodes so its not a huge time commitment. I think its pretty much unknown and it lacks all the teenage angst, giant robots, and anime cliches which I personally really appreciate. I hope you check it out. Let me know if you like it..

EDIT: Berzerk as suggested by others is very good.

How could you watch 7 episodes of School Days and then drop it? I thought the entire point of watching School Days was to get to the last episode, and see THAT ending? lol
