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

For currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net

HAYATE MOVIE!? <faints out of extreme happiness>

If there's any place to see Athena, it's the big screen I suppose?

Sorry to crush dreams, but that's just character popularity poll and mentions nothing of the actual content.

Also Maria-san not getting enough time in Hayate, someone needs to take a hint from School Rumble and start focusing on the characters that readers actually care about. Hint, not Nagi

You leave my dreams alone. D:

So Hina beat A-tan in the poll by almost 2000? It was expected, but I am not pleased.

Yeah Hina just owns popularity polls, no competition was ever close. The first couple of ones she dominated Maria-san by about the same margin too.

Obvious recommendation for Angel Beats would be any other Key show like Clannad, Kanon, or Air. Problem is, none of them are as action oriented as Angel Beats (well, Air for like one episode, but that hardly counts).

It's kinda hard to find anime similar to Angel Beats! The other KyoAni Key series(Clannad, Air, Kanon) are more drama than anything else really. I actually got quite a shock watching Clannad after AB! Didn't expect this huge of a change.

If you haven't yet, watch Durarara!! and Baccano! While not focused on love and drama like AB! and the rest of KyoAni Key porductions, these 2 anime are great in their own right.

Angel Beats is not from Key either. The only connecting point between Key and Angel Beats is Jun Maeda.

Jun Maeda is the dude that wrote the screenplays for nearly every Key game and he stopped after Little Busters. Then he made Angel Beats wrote the screenplay and the music. In an interview he said that he now wants to concentrade on the music. Means we wont see any great dramas out of his hands anymore

Except AB is officially a collaborative project between Key, Aniplex and Dengeki? Not to mention the interview in question says nothing about concentrating only on music, but some rather vague words about wanting to focus on the music more and leaving artistic direction and details of storyboard/research to the younger staffs at Key.

You don't need to.

...Means we wont see any great dramas out of his hands anymore


When he never said a word about not working on storyboard anymore is kind of an interesting conclusion to come to.

Bakumen is making me fall in love with anime all over again. Can anyone recommend anything similar?

I never thought I'd like anime to the point I could watch a show about manga and enjoy it so much.

How anyone could enjoy such a show [Angel Beats!] is far beyond my comprehension...
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

Thoughts on Star Driver =? I was close to dropping, but the last two episodes were pretty decent.


I was told to stay away from it. So I never watched it. Do you think it's worth my time?


Hm, it's kind've a tough call. If you're looking for something to watch and you like mecha than you'd probably enjoy it. It's fairly borderline/slightly above average all around, with I suppose the music and fight scenes shining the most. I'm optimistic for the rest of the series after episodes 8/9, but be wary there's a couple of meh episodes in the middle there, if you're going to start watching :x.


Well it's made by Bones right?

I've watched Xam'd and am currently watching Eureka (Seven), both of which are by them.

I gotta say, they did produce some good mechs so it might be good to watch. Though I have to say that Xam'd's romance ended up pissing me off and the MC from Eureka is also getting annoying.

Other than that though, now that it's Bones, I'll take a look after I finish Eureka and all the other recommendations that are popping up.



Good Bones stuff include:

RahXephon
Wolf's Rain
Scrapped Princess
Fullmetal Alchemist (well, if you like shounen-shit)
Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven
Ouran High School Host Club
Tenpou Ibun Ayakashi Ayashi
Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
Xam'd: Lost Memories
Jyu Oh Sei

Those are all worth watching, but Ouran, Darker Than Black and Wolf's Rain are probably my favorites.

I guess The Skull Man is decent, maybe Soul Eater and Chiko, Heiress of the Phantom Thief is too, but haven't seen them yet.


Aren't Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo both Bones as well? They're both definitely worth mention.

And because I saw some people pick favorites, I will too: Fullmetal Alchemist 2009.

Well because I dont have the time to look at 500 pages I would say Vampire Knight is an excellent anime, along with others like Clannad. (If you disliked Clannad and After story your not a real anime fan)
