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.ggFor currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net |
Hmm......
I'm bad at giving recommendations in general....
But if you liked FLCL, have you tried out Welcome to the NHK? I thought that those two went well with each other. Though they're different stories I felt that they both possessed a similar amount of craziness.

There are a lot of sites that have information and specific wikis for certain series, but what have you guys find to be the best overall site for info? Myanimelist Good for looking for new manga/series. Also useful for finding all the sequels/specials/side stories/spinoffs for any given series. Very useful for finding subbing groups. Ratings serve as a very rough indicator of quality. The reviews are generally useless. Anime recommendations are also useless, but the manga recommendations are generally half decent. Episode/chapter discussions are usually a cesspool, but are useful for finding out what happens in a series without actually reading/watching it.
Being able to track what episode/chapter you're on is also very useful, but that's not really what you're asking.
Baka-Updates Manga I pretty much only use this site to find scanlation groups for any given series, and to see how many chapters have been released.
Wikipedia Good for general series information and summaries. It's incredibly spoilerific for some series though.
@Turgid: If you liked Cowboy Bebop, you should give Samurai Champloo a try. The styles are somewhat similar.

Have liked, at some point: Lupin the Third Ghost in the Shell Paprika Miyazaki films(all of them) FLCL Cowboy Bebop Mobile Suit: 8th MS Team Legend of the Galactic Heroes .hack//sign(when viewed in order)
Didn't Like: Naruto Bleach One Piece Tenchi Muyo(not for any particular reason, just didnt find it funny) Wolfs Rain Trinity Blood Many others, I guess.
My likes are kind of white bread dubbed-into-English stuff, I suppose. I don't mind if an anime has an english dub or is subtitled only. I just want something to kill time at work :3
I reccomend to you, Baccano, Death Note, and Darker Than Black, according to your interests.

Ah thanks, used myanimelist to find out I finished watching Banner of the Stars II so I suppose I can watch Banner of the Star III OAV later. Doesn't look like Banner of the Stars IV will become an anime anytime soon, might read the manga if the OAV rekindles my interest.

Light Novels, not Manga. Manga shit, Light Novels good o/

You're right, was confused by wikipedia's organization. Was able to find Crest and Banner of the Stars 1&2 on youtube plus the OVA on another site. So will have something to watch later.

Come to the light side and DL anime D:

Myanimelist is a God send

How can you not like Wolf's Rain 
If you like Cowboy bebop you will probably like Samurai Champloo (same creators afaik)
Also watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood if you havn't already, its awesome

I could never move on from you. You were my first love on TL.net. <3
However, even though Kaal and I just met, we already share a special and powerful bond.
@ Kaal: You are a godsend.

+ Show Spoiler +Are you implying s/he has the mentality of a 12-year old? + Show Spoiler +jkjk, Chihiro is always surprisingly adult for a 12-year old, or perhaps it's just the reservedness that makes her look adult.
