![]() Somewhat embarrassing to admit but I enjoy watching anime. When I was a kid I use to rush home to watch DBZ, and as an adult I make sure that I watch the weekly naruto episode that comes out.
Are there any fellow anime "junkies" here that can recommend some good anime? I don't want to watch anything before like 1995, the older animations make my eyes bleed. Feel free to leave your lists of the best anime you've watched before. ![]()

![]() I prefer the old Speed Racer cartoons (not the "new/next generation" male bovine excrement). They are the ancestor to anime.

![]() It does kind of depend on what kind of Anime you like. Do you like the goofy stuff (Ranma 1/2)? Over-the-top horror and violence (Fist of the Northstar)? The post-apocalyptic-giant-robot-teenage-girl-sci-fi stuff (Everything else)?
Me, I tend to gravitate towards less goofy, more drama type stuff with anime. I don't mind violence, but I can't get in to the super goofy stuff anymore. Most of these are older, cause that's what I cut my teeth on. Older than 1995 (but still great): Akira Battle Angel Alita Fist of the North Star Riding Bean Black Magic M66 The first Appleseed Dominion: Tank Police Vampire Hunter D Newer: Ghost in the Shell 1&2 Perfect Blue Tekkon Kinkreet I also recommend any and all Hayao Miyazaki movies: Porco Rosso Spirited Away Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Princess Mononoke Howl's Moving Castle Castle in the Sky Castle of Cagliostro Kiki's Delivery Service My Neighbor Totoro Ponyo Future Boy Conan - 70s TV show, still great tho. |

![]() If violent and somewhat twisted mentalities are your forte I highly recommend Hellsing and the Hellsing Ultimate OVAs and Deadman Wonderland. If you like giant fighting robots Gundam Wing and Gundam 00 are both incredible. Bleach is a good counterpart to Naruto. A lot of people I know like Fullmetal Alchemist but it's not to my tastes, but it's still highly recommended so perhaps you may like it.

![]() Honestly, I don't know what I like. There are a lot of anime series that I hate. But also a lot that I love. I like everything that doesn't try and spurt out comic relief every 2 minutes or so. Best Drama/Horror I've ever watched is Monster, post-apocalyptic was probably Wolf's Rain, but that was a love-hate viewing. I even like the harem crap, Shuffle was amazing. Yakitate Japan is about baking..and I liked it, I'm amazed at how that is even possible. The slice of life animes are the best, GTO was fantastic.
I've liked Naruto the best though, being able to watch characters develop right before your eyes is pretty fantastic.

![]() DBZ is being remastered and re-aired as Dragon Ball Z Kai. They cut out all of the filler and contracted everything to flow exactly with the manga so instead of waiting 30 episodes for Vegeta to initially arrive on Earth it happens in like 7 episodes I think. Worth a look if you're still a Dragon Ball fan.

![]() Sorry, I think Speed Racer is about 8 years older. (1966 start date vs 1974 for Star Blazers)
