Vladamire Dracos Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 The fact that I'm the first to mention <em>Ghost in the Shell</em> makes me a sad panda. You might like <em>Macross</em>/<em>Robotech</em> too, though it's a bit older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde Hill Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Aye Ghost is good too, the movies and the series. Death Note and Bleech are supposed to be good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolinc Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 If you want something a bit more mature, I HIGHLY recommend the anime Monster. Sooo freaking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Guyver! I've been trying to think of the name of that series for the last week - it was the first episodic video release here in the UK (at least, the first to make it onto the high street) and for some reason it's been bugging me for a while now...

Hyde Hill Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 As Naruto has been named one that always gets people buzzing who would beat who its the classic Dragonball Z! (which in a fight would kick Naruto's asses but that is beside the point.) Movies anything from Miya is great imho Spirited Away is superb as a movie and so is his other work. If you like the more gory stuff Urotsukidōji is a must watch and actually hit western markets before the Guyver series which also brings fond memories. Anime is prolly just as rich as western tv/movies it has just so much goodies it is hard to chose hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
