How long is the series?

Hehe, Fire Emblem was a great series.

Fire Emblem:
The entire series can literally be seen in a day. It's 2 episodes. But good luck finding an english version.

You're too kind, Freehold DM. :) And it's okay to agree to disagree on Slayers, it is a flavor of silly that only some have patience for. But I will know not to ask you to look over the Slayers d20 revision/Pathfinderization I'm finishing up.

I do agree with you and Kryzbyn on Gunbuster, that is a truly awesome series. I liked the sequel too.

So do I! My friends who bought it for me didn't even know I liked Kenshin, they just thought it was an appropriate weapon for a Death Quaker.

That said, I do like the Kenshin saga, but I think the TV series degenerates rather badly into filler toward the middle/end, unfortunately. Still even its filler is better than some other stuff.

Just recalled, and this is a recent watch too:

REDLINE

No computer animation. All old-school handdrawn art. Took years to make.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

I've seen it described online as "Imagine the cast of Cannonball Run taking on Darth Vader while the crew from Top Gear crosses the border into North Korea."

Having watched it, I'd add "Imagine a Wacky Races/F-Zero crossover set in a universe made by crashing the Star Wars, Fifth Element, and Mass Effect settings into each other, and Kamina from Gurren Lagann directed with Haruko from FLCL on cinematography. While Speed Racer does cocaine."

Is good fun. Stupid, but goodfun. It honestly reminded me of some of those early weird anime viewing experiences on late night TBS and Liquid TV(if anyone else remembers that short about the racer seeing ghosts).

That it seems to draw as much influence from European comics as traditional anime adds to that vibe.


Gilgamesh, Ceres, Elfen Lied, Escaflowne (TV), Le Chavalier D'eon, Noir, Gankutsuou are some great (and mature) examples of story telling.

It's agonizingly slow-paced due to internal monologue and/or repetitive flashbacks, or the characters are annoying, or the plot and characters are juvenile, or chibi mini-scenes pee all over otherwise good animation, or all of the above.

It's amazing to me that anybody here mentioned any of the Dragonball series as a remedy to Tequila's anime blues, when Dragonball embodies in every single way, every crap thing mentioned in his first post, above.

Dragonball is absolutely the WORST thing to recommend to somebody who already thinks anime is slow, annoying, repetitive, has too many flashbacks, and too much juvenile behavior and internal monologue. That is its very DESCRIPTION. Those things are almost all the show is about.

Thing is, Tequila, anime is often based on manga (comic books), which are slower to put out, as they are usually done by a single artist. That means that the show tends to catch up with the manga's storyline, and then they need to produce "filler" episodes. Sometimes almost entire SEASONS (they call them "series") are filler. Making for a very slow progression, storyline-wise, while the original artist catches up.

If you want to enjoy a few series without the typical chibi crap, slow progression and other juvenile stuff, start with the very, very excellent Moribito. It is a series with only a dozen or so episodes, and every single Yen of the budget is on the screen. It's a beautiful series with a grown up adventure story.

I would also recommend Claymore. Though there is some repetition, you will not see the chibi stuff, or the juvenile crap. Again, a rather adult story with good adventure.

If you like zombies and boobs, check out High School of the Dead. There's tons of fan service, gratuitous crotch shots and breasticles, but it takes all of the zombie and anime conventions and turns them on their heads to create a wild, intriguing and exciting ride.

Basilisk is an excellent anime series featuring sorcerous ninja clans hell bent on destroying one-another (think a dark, serious Naruto with absolutely no juvenile silliness at all).

Monster is an amazing series centered around a disgraced doctor's search for the sociopathic murderer whose life he saved years previous.

Filmwise, stick with Miyazaki, and also look out for Metropolis, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, the aforementioned classic Akira, Ghost in the Shell and its excellent TV series Stand Alone Complex, and Jin-Roh. If you like more gratuitous adult stuff, Ninja Scroll and its more evil brother Wicked City are classics from the 'nineties.

Honorable and worthy mentions:

Record of Lodoss War and the subsequent Chronicles of the Heroic Knight OVA.
The Tenchi series (which flirts with the conventions, but features incredibly likable characters).
The original Vampire Hunter D (a crude, but memorable classic).
Beautiful Dreamer (part of a series, but you don't need to see the rest to be blown away by it).
Slayers.
The short film collections Robot Carnival and Memories.
The hilariously bad Cyber City.
Dead Leaves (a short film from hell).
I also am a fan of Bleach, though it probably suffers from all that stuff too much to recommend to you.

I've been a fan of anime since before anybody called it that (my first show was Speed Racer, which they stuck me in front of when I was a baby (1971 - 1973 - ish). I loved G-Force (Gatchaman), Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato), and other classics from the 'seventies. I have loved the genre since. I am the first to agree that you have to wade through swaths and swaths of crap to get to the gems, but I assure you, in every decade they have been there for the finding.


Maybe I'm a little unfair to slayers. I can watch the series, I just can't watch it with fans. The audience participation is annoying. What was the slayers in space series again?

Uh, I don't think there was a Slayers in space series. We talking about the same series?

Lina Inverse, self-acclaimed "beautiful sorcery genius" (and short-tempered, petite firecracker), travels the world with either a ridiculously buxom leather bikini clad sorceress (OAVS) or an idiot blonde swordsman, a justice obsessed priestess, and a half-golem gish warrior (TV series). The world is very D&D with the silly factor amped up to the nines. But I am pretty damn certain, even in the lackluster most recent TV season, that they never went to space (not withstanding places Lina might have kicked Naga or Gourry when they called her flatchested). I think the third season had some weird astral plane stuff, though, come to think of it.

They're actually considered a fusion style of Anime and Western animation, and that makes me love them all the more. You can definitely see influences in Korra especially which you'd never find in "orthodox" Anime. TV Tropes lists them both under "Western Animation".

In the book of many they're in the category of "So good it's hard to believe it's American Animation."

Lost Universe is what you're thinking of. There are four worlds created by The Mother of All Creation aka The Lord of Nighmares. The world of Slayers is called Red World and the one that is the setting for Lost Universe is Black World. Ruby-Eye Shabrinigdo (a demi-god in Slayers) is the name given one of the Lost Ships, ancient space battleships of great power that feed on the mental strength of humans. I think there's another one named after Dark Star, but you get the idea. Kain Blueriver, the main character, also wears a black cape similar in style to Lina's. His vessel, Sword Breaker, is a Lost Ship as well and the only one that is tied to a shinzoku, or god race (the counterpart to the mazoku, or demon race).

EDIT: The Overworlders that appear in Slayers Try are in fact from Black World, having been sent out by Night Dragon Volfied to retrieve the Weapons of Light (which were actually Lost Ships that had taken on a different form) to use against Dark Star and destroy him once and for all. It's been years since I've read the manga, but I'm pretty sure this is correct.


Some of my favorites:
12 Kingdoms
Moribito: Guardian of the Spirits
Kenshin
Shura No Toki
Hikaru No Go
Rah Xephon
Planetes - awesome hard sci-fi series
Last Exile
Irrisponcible Captain Tylor
Beck (Mongolian Chop Squad)


Aaah! You should have spoilered that!!! Still, that is more than a little awesome. May just give slayers another look.

because of the Slayersd20 revision or because I'm not asking Freehold to look at it? ;)

And if YOU have any interest in looking at many many many pages of rules, let me know. :)

Silver Crusade

I probably should've, but I didn't think about it at the time. Sorry about that, since the Overworlders are an important subplot in Slayers Try.

Spoiler:

However, only those who've read the Lost Universe manga would know what the Weapons of Light are in Slayers, so at least you'll be coming in ahead of the curve in that regard. I didn't know about that connection myself because Try has no manga equivalent (unlike the original Slayers, Next, Revolution and Evolution-R), so season 3 ties directly to Lost Universe (taking place after the anime of the same name).


My favorites are:

El-Hazard: The Magnificent World (though the sequels and TV series are disappointing in comparison. The only real flaw is that the treatment of the two lesbian characters is problematic, especially in the sequels where it becomes downright offensive. Still, features the most awesome cat in any universe)

Cowboy BeBop (Outlaw Star gets honorable mention, but I still think grappler ships are silly.)

Record of Lodoss War (I enjoyed Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, as well)

Rurouni Kenshin (the prequel OVAs are pure awesome. The TV series is great, though in a different, but as others have mentioned starts degrading towards the end. The sequel OVA is bleh.)

Martian Successor Nadesico (Fun in it's own right, also pokes fun at sci-fi anime, giant robot anime and harem anime).

As evident by my list, I'm way behind in my anime watching. I'm part way through Fullmetal Alchemist currently, which I'm enjoying, but the tone changes between super-goofy and horribly dark are incredibly jarring.


How is it possible that none of the Captain Harlock movies (Arcadia of My Youth, anyone?) have been mentioned yet? Forget the 1980's Harmony Gold mish-mash of Queen Millenia and Space Pirate Harlock (Two separate shows that had nothing to do with one another other than being Matsumoto shows). Just get your hands on some of the original (or, hell, the recent remakes!) films and enjoy the hard core space piracy.

Space Battleship Yamato, Live Forever Yamato, and all the rest of the Leiji Matsumoto brand are classic and brilliant, as well.

I'd like to add:

Silent Mobius
Gasaraki (Has been mentioned before, but well worth it)
Genesis Climber Mospeada (originally series 3 of Robotech - much more coherent and impressive when viewed on its own)

I recently watched Birdy The Mighty: Decode seasons 1 and 2 and was duly impressed with several of the themes carried out throughout the series, as well.

I will also always prefer the original OVA series of Record of Lodoss War to the TV series. Even if it reeks of being someone's old Dragonlance game put on screen. ;)


While scanning through this list, I kept thinking: wait, no-one mentioned "..." and then I'd find it.
Here are a few I'd like to second, as this is a board for gamers:

Berserk, the drawing is a little weak, and the ending will kill a small part of your soul, but if you pick up with the Manga after that, it will bring you back. Plus, best large-sword wielding ever.

Moribito, excellent in every way.

12 Kingdoms, a Mercedes Lackey blue-rose world, turned awesome by a warring-states period historical sensibility.

Gankutsuo: the only retelling of "The Count of Monte Cristo" I've found that not only doesn't lighten the ending, but makes it darker.

Things that may have been missed:

History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, terrrible animation, hilarious story. Gives for the most part accurate, if exaggerated, descriptions of certain martial arts and their core principles.

Hajime No Ippo ("The Fighting Spirit") old style animation, but fantastic story. The Manga's been going for 22 years now, with good reason.

If you want something that makes fun of anime and manga, the ultimate is Excel Saga.


Oh yeah, then there's the super adult (not Hentai, just really not for kids) stuff.
These all have one thing in common: sudden, shocking atrocities, often committed on characters you've come to like.

Basilisk, you'll walk away with a dozen character ideas based on the different ninja.

Gantz, this is a great campaign idea.

Hey, have you ever gotten done reading the Game of Thrones books, or anything by Joe Abercrombie, and thought "you know what I need, something more violent, and full of more atrocities"?

If so, then "Shigurui" (also translated as "Death Frenzy") is for you.
I warn you, once you start it will be hard to stop, even though you'll want to. There's something terribly compelling about the storyline. The anime ends without finishing it, so you'll have to track down the manga.


Gantz the Anime is all fine and well, but it only tells part of the story (it's roughly a "season one" show). The Manga is so much more complete and (dare I say) completely over the top.

If y'all like watching subtitles via the internet, then go for Gintama.

If you're not willing to wait until Saturday night on Toonami (Yay!!!), give Deadman Wonderland a try.

You'll be glad you did....

Thanks, I'll give it a try! The older I get, the more I find myself enjoying series that intentionally end, even if they're short.

If you don't like rediculous parrody anime, you wont like Slayers.

If you can enjoy them in small doses, I highly reccommend Dragon Half, a short rediculous series.

Moribito: Guardian of the Spirits is a great serious fantasy series. The fight scenes are some of the best I've seen, and mostly physically possible.

I don't consider them anime either. I consider it one of the best examples of Western Animation to date. (TV Tropes classifies both shows under Western Animation) Korra does seem to be a bit more anime flavored. But I'd consider both shows more of a fusion style than pure examples of anime.

Cowboy Bebop. Your argument is invalid.

Pathfinder Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

I'll throw out a couple titles that I've enjoyed, as I'm in the same mindset as Tequila in that I can't stand the juvenile idiocy.

All mentioned above, but I'll add my vote to the tally:

Ghost in the Shell - especially the Stand Alone Complex series, I can't say enough good things! Top notch stories, excellent animation, no kiddie BS... well, the tachikoman spider/robot/tank/things are silly at first, but they evolve during the series - I started off hating them but was rooting for them at the end!

Vampire Hunter D - original and Bloodlust sequel are both very good; love the future/fantasy crossover genre.

Claymore - very similar to VHD, and a cool storyline. 'Teresa of the Faint Smile', what a great name!

I just started watching Monster, and it seems very adult (as in serious, not a hentai/gore-fest). I have also been recommended Gantz, but haven't yet seen more than the first episode.

I found Jonny Yong Bosch to be a fantastic Lelouch. I didn't like Rivalz's voice actor, though. Millay and Nunnaly grated a little, but they were bearable, and in my opinion, the voices fit. Spinzaku was also good in the English version.

Yup, but luckly they were only minor characters(save for Nunnaly, who was barely heard from in comparison to other main characters).

I personally prefer JYB mainly because I think Fukuyama screams like a girl. Then again, I also prefer watching the show instead of reading subtitles and hearing a different language.
