If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Good thing it'll be 6 eps long.

You could combine 4 of it... to be as long as F/Z.

The first vol (1+2) is pretty light on history though, especially 2. Only history part relevant in first is Ieyasu + four kings IIRC.

The real fun starts after.


Oh good, almost done the first Vol. Might try look for the actual book so I can buy it, my damn phone keeps dying in the middle of reading it zzz.

I wonder if the anime adaption will go through all the vol's. There's a lot. :o


Wait til you get to vol2 B... that thing is thicker than F/Z.... all 4 vol combined.


Literally going to take me more than a year to read all of Horizon then........ LOL.

The seasons was much more of a time filler series imo. The movie was enjoyable even with the horrible engrish but at least it had somewhat of a plot.

Just finished Moyashimon and I must say, for such a bizarre/unique series it was very entertaining. + Show Spoiler +

For the next time, you can just use google to search for those and you would have gotten the results instantly instead of asking. Or use tineye.

Ya lol. I primarily watched it to take a break from intense plot driven action animes and just wanted to watch a random slice of life/school/relaxed anime while I read Horizon and start uni (omg school).

Next to Toaru no Indexxx!

Index I actually never watched anime. The novel is decent but it gets long and alot white knighting around.
And Railgun is interesting.

I want an anime that really GRIPS you, and doesn't make you think of formula crap after a few episodes. I'm getting Code Gease (again) for a start (dont remember it one bit)

Cowboy bebop

Episodic != Formulaic

While neither moves forward very fast (if at all), there's a difference between something being episodic (each episode or chapter not related to the others, standalone stories) and something being formulaic (same setup every time). Something can be both, but Cowboy Bebop isn't formulaic, just episodic. Each episode is different in setup, buildup, climax, and conclusion, but is a separate story that doesn't move the overall plot forward/moves it very slowly.

House, in this example, can be broken down into mysterious illness, House thinks it's easy, it's not, he gets mad at real life issues, suddenly has a breakthrough because of a random comment, magically cures the patient with obscure methodology, everyone gets mad at him but respects him. The only difference in most episodes is the type of disease/cure and sometimes the patient dies.

A formulaic would be like DBZ style shounen fights. "oh, he's strong! but I have a powerup!" " I too have a powerup!" "My friends give me power!" "I have a secret and/or forbidden technique!" "My will cannot be broken!" "This isn't even my final form!" "Call out a move and win because of plot!"

Hmm I think I might have misread ffgen's post, I thought he wanted stuff like house. So basically ffgen wants an anime with really good story?

btw I get your explanation at how cowboy bebop doesnt follow a formula like house, but it does fit the description of "takes you there and back every episode, but doesnt take you onward" imo

lain was okay okay okay okay then suddenly bad
i love eerie things but i wouldnt recommend lain
instead try higurashi (first season) (oh wait you mentioned it)
watch the japanese movie (not anime) Marebito ... its the best
hack//sign is also a bit like Lain ... but also not that good iirc. the first episode of .hack//Liminality was awesome tho, as a short story. iirc. elfen lied is fantasic also
let me know if you find anything as good as higurashi
