Maybe you should recomend your friend Soul eater, Another or HellGirl(it might work, cause after watching deathnote i was a bit fascinated with hellgirl, then after 3 seasons of cluster fuck, stupidity, boredness i was about to give up and commit seppuku, but it might work if he is into those kind of things)
also hellsing of course, if he likes fights
Hellsing Ultimate sounds like a legit recommendation for him. Great fights, no mecha, plot requires more suspension of disbelief than usual but at least it's consistent.

"Hyouka is one of the best and my favorite anime of this season. It is incredibly well written, laden with symbolism, juxtaposition, themes and wonderful characters.
It is considered a Mystery anime, but the mysteries taken on are strangely trivial but complex in their own right. The mysteries are not there for mysteries sake either. Each "case" has something to add to the overarching plot and characters development.
Along with its great writing and story we are treated with great production quality and animation. Although the setting is mostly in High School, there are interjections of beautiful symbolic visuals that are used punctuate the emotions of the characters."
Is Hyouka really that good? Should I be watching this?
The animation is good, almost pointlessly so.
There is no overarching plot. Well, unless you consider Oreki's sister being a bitch to be plot. The series is more sol than anything else, really.
The mysteries suck. And they don't really have much to make up for it either, unlike something like Un-go.
The characters are hit and miss. 2/4 annoy me. One of the others is generally likeable, and the last one varies between being likeable and being a bitch.

Hey guys I got a friend who's not seen many anime yet, but is looking for something to watch. He's watching/watched Bleach, One Piece, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note and Ghost in the Shell.
He says he likes OP and Bleach for the fights, but can't stand Naruto / Gintama / Ghost in the Shell.
Typical "Death Note best anime EVAR" type of guy.
Also doesn't like mechs too much, so he's not keen on seeing Code Geass and the like.
Apparently he's also sensitive about plot structure? Plotholes can ruin an anime for him, he said.
I recommended Darker than Black and he finished it, but said he didn't like it too much. Not enough fighting and many plotholes. Gates being not explained, the last ep. not making any sense etc. I tried to fill him in as best I could, but it has been a long time since I watched DtB and don't remember all of it.
Can any of you guys recommend something for him? I'm running out of ideas.
Soul Eater sorta seems like it would work. D.Grayman too.
I'm just basing this off of series that have fights like OP/Bleach though.

Wait, I just saw a Gantz live action film in a movie shop. That's a thing?
...is it worth watching?
The live action movie is atrocious, Id just watch the anime
The movie takes out alot of the gore which made Gantz awesome, that and the lighting is terrible. Some parts were so dark you couldn't tell what was going on. Not to mention the mediocre acting

I know someone who is a giant Romeo fanboy that tells everyone that unless you're reading Romeo in Japanese, you don't really understand how great he is.
Cross Channel is really hit or miss with people, but that might have to do with Ixrec... With regards to Rewrite, Romeo does the majority of the story but there were multiple people involved in writing the heroine routes. I suppose it's very obvious which routes he didn't do.

Alright, Thanks guys. I decided for now, to feed him Fairy Tail and Soul Eater, mainly because I saw those two myself.
It's a safer bet to feed him shounen crap for now, until I scout out Monster and Kaiji, Another for myself.

So basically ZNF is the reason we'll never see FMP completed in anime form?

It was pretty obvious who did what and Romeo did Moon+Tera anyway so~ CC can be kinda hit and miss I guess.
I don't know if reading Romeo in Jap would make all that big of a difference, he doesn't abuse the language itself that much. The question is probably more the quality of the English translations, which would indeed be suspect.
lol at the RWQ one, that game was probably better made than the majority of the SLGs this year.

Also I find it funny that a guys random friend is getting more recommendations than that guy asking what to watch with his mom dying of cancer. IIRC, he replied pretty quick and was satisfied with the amount of recs given to him. Regarding Hyouka, I like it, some do, some don't. But some of the mysteries were pretty bad.
Oh hey, people remembered my post. Cool stuff.
