New to Anime. Any Suggestions.
I am pretty new to Anime. It wasnt my thing or so i thought until i saw a few movies that i actually loved. I even own them now. But I trust you people enough to tell me what i should get next. Here is what i have and loved.
Akira Blood Grave of Fireflies Spirited Away I found that with others i have seen they couldnt hold my attention long enough for me to be interested in them. The ones listed above i couldnt get enough of. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
What you want to do is maybe look into other anime's by the same creators or directors. I'm sure you'll get lots of responses to this, but here are some good ones to get you started.
Ghost in the Shell Cowboy Bebop (a great series) You can also check out www.animeondvd.com which is a very popular website with lots of anime DVD reviews and recommendations. |
Princess Mononoke
Kiki's Delivery Service Castle in the Sky |
If you like Spirited Away, try these ones:
Princess Mononoke Castle in the Sky Kiki's Delivery Service Totoro and pretty much all Hayao Miyazaki's works... Castle in the Sky and Kiki have new DVDs that just came out from Disney. |
I'm new to anime, too, but I have enjoyed these so far:
Castle in the Sky Castle of Cagliostro My Neighbor Totoro Kiki's Delivery Service Perfect Blue Metropolis Ghost in the Shell |
As someone who doesn't like most anime, I highly recommend:
Cowboy Bebop Trigun Inuyasha |
Try Ninja scroll
Ghost in the shell Chobits Card Captor Sakura Love hina Project A-ko Cowboy bebop Also, learn what you like by watching a little bit of everything. |
Robotech (the Macross Saga portion)
|
I also started with Akria, only it was 13 years ago...It is still my favorite. I loves it so much that I waded through tons of mediocre anime to find these gems:
Definitely try these: Neon Genesis Evangelion - the greatest series ever. Period. Castle of Cagliostro - Most people seem to have forgotten that Hayao Miyazaki's first (and some say finest) film was Castle of Cagliostro. Lupin was one of the models Spielberg used for Indiana Jones... Rurouni Kenshin - this is on Cartoon Network now. Awesome series. Don't miss the movies mistitled Samurai X. Vision of Escaflowne Ninja Scroll Battle Angel Ghost in the Shell Metropolis |
Rurouni Kenshin, Trigun, InuYasha aren't like the movies originally listed. They are "wacky" anime and not everyone likes the style of them where the characters physical appearances change to show their emotions (i.e. an angry character suddenly has a 5 foot tall head or a hurt character has no nose or mouth and spirals for eyes).

Cool thanks Yea i dont think im into the "Wacky" anime. I need storyline. Im gonna check these out thanks.
|
Go out immediately and purchase Cowboy Bebop: Volume 1. It has the first 5 episodes of the series, and is so good you won't look back.

Definately <b>METROPOLIS</b> and <b>PRINCESS MONONOKE</b> !
|
Cowboy Bebop, Ninja Scroll, Ghost in the Shell
These are some of my faves |
Serial Experiments Lain and Key: The Metal Idol are two series that you should check out. Very story driven and very Lynch-esque - and really entertaining.. A bit expensive but both are definitly worth checking out.
If you're more into sci-fi space style stuff - that's VERY heavy on plot, Check out the show Crest of the Stars. Excellent excellent story line on that one. If you're in for a unique horror-esque show, check out Boogiepop Phantom. Spirited Away is awesome as well. And Spriggan was a damn fun movie. That said, I'm pretty picky about my anime and don't really like the following - but they're highly recommended by most people: Ghost in the Shell (Was just boring. Cool plot points though), Perfect Blue (same as previous comment), Ninja Scroll (Same again), Jin-roh (same) and Castle of Cagliostro (same a fourth time.) Ah well - Great Teacher Onizuka (Comedy), Berserk (Action/Adventure/Medievil), and Cowboy Bebop (Action/Adventure/Scifi) are also highly recommended. (No offense to anime movie lovers, but I tend to find most pretty boring so I end up recommending series' instead :)) |
