Title: Everything Anime
Post by: ThravRande on March 02, 2018, 03:02:31 PM
Official general anime thread! What're you watching, what do you recommend, and what are you looking forward to?

(Remember to be sensitive about spoilers within this thread.)

I've been slowly trying to get into more anime here lately for the first time in my life, and I've really fallen in love with Fullmetal Alchemist. I know I'm wayyyy late to the party, but I've tboroughly enjoyed both versions and even the live action movie was bearable to watch lol

I'm not sure if this runs in same Anime Bloodline as you mention, but I am a big fan of Avatar the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.  Those were just really well done... and if you haven't watched both series all the way through, you should do that.  Great story lines...

Bleach, Naruto, Fairy Tail, Code Geass, Death Note, Boruto, One Piece, Inuyasha, Robotech, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, and Dragon Ball / Gundam anything are all favorites of mine and completely safe bets.

Between Crunchyroll, Netflix, and amazon prime you should be able to find some nice anime for a long time. Crunchyroll won't cost anything if you're ok waiting a week for some of the currently airing series and watching commercials. there's a paid option to skip that. The other two are obviously subscription services but have a fair amount.

I'd always made fun of kids who watched anime but a childhood friend moved back to town about 15 years ago and he convinced me to watch cowboy bebop. After that I plowed through the bigger ones and am always looking for that next series.

I watched the last air bender all the way through back in the day when it was on Nick. I never got around to legend of korra, but it's on my list to watch.

I've watched through most of inuyasha, I enjoyed it for the most part. I have Netflix and amazon prime, as well as Hulu. I didn't know crunchy roll had a free version, I'll have to check that out

Defiantly Dragon Ball series for me. There are those individual movies hanging out there that I like, but for a series it is Dragon Ball. I have the complete series of Dragon Ball GT and Z on DVD.

But I haven't really explored that many anime series. I have always liked the Bleach games and I may need to look up the series.

If you haven't seen Korra , you should check it out.  I like the humor much better in The Last Airbender and like it better overall.   Korra is much darker and more for older audiences... a must seen though and it is well done.
