Recommend 1 Anime

[The Final Offer]

I'm thinking about getting into more anime after I'm done watching Breaking Bad. (Season 1 episode 2 right now). Now this isn't just for me, but anyone else who wants a recommendation. All you have to do is...

Experience: I've seen Bleach, Attack On Titan, DBZ (of course), Full metal, Afro Samurai, Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, X Men, Iron Man, Wolverine (ugh), Blade, and Naruto.

I'm sure alot of people want others to enjoy an anime. I keep hearing things about Death Note. Not sure about it.

Death Note is one of the animes/mangas that everyone should at least try. Personally, I don't care for it, but you might. I tried reading the manga and thought it was super wordy, which made it a slog to read.

I haven't seen many animes, but I do love Tiger and Bunny. It's basically the X-Men but with TV sponsors. It's an interesting twist to the whole superhero formula. It's also really funny. You can watch it for free on Viz's website.

 

[Devils Never Cry]

Death Note is certainly one of the most well-known. It was one of the first I watched (probably the case for many others), and I'd say it's a good entry into anime.

I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who likes animation, not just anime fans.

Hellsing

 

[LoneRangerNinjutsu]

Hmm... I'd say Trigun. It's one of my favorites.
And it easily has the absolute best and most interesting lead character in any anime ever... in my opinion.

So yeah. It's good.

>>>> Rurouni kenshin <<<<

Its all round one the most entertaining Anime TV series i know of,it has it action,drama along with many interesting characters,the story is about a wandering samurai like samurai jack who has taken the cliched oath to not kill anyone because he has killed way too many and wants to repent by saving and protecting as many lives he can by wielding a reversed blade sword(basically a blunt sword) and he fights bad guys and the imperialist Shishio who wants to take over the meiji govt and go back to days of feudal japan.

Its story tries be as much as realistic as possible sure all the attacks are exaggerated and the main character has a plot shield but other than that its pretty much a great anime about samurais at the end of feudal japan.

Also i'd highly recommend you to watch the subbed version because the dubbing is faithful to the script but the acting is just "meh".

Although the last arc was disappointing overall this show doesn't overstay its welcome like DBZ,Naruto,bleach and other sellout anime.

Since the beginning of this thread (first 2 posts) I've been binge watching Death Note. It's great thus far I'm on episode 12. Since I have some waiting to do (party) and nothing school wise, I thought it'd be best to run through it. I'm so shocked I didn't watch this before. It's really really good.

I had watched Hellsing and I apologize for not mentioning it. I loved that anime. Also, the reason I started watching it is because of Hellsing Abridged series. Thanks though @ef9 o shea you really would've done me a blessing with that suggestion.

Once I'm done with Death Note, I'll be looking into Trigun. I've been seeing it on Netflix and have been thinking I should give it a try.

I'm down for Tiger and Bunny and Kenshin.

I'm also pleased to tell you all why I'm doing this is to further step foot into anime. I'm getting so tired of not knowing who people are when they appear in video games. I hate not knowing what someone can do before I use them. With that being said, I'm definitely pondering on importing J Star victory Vs. I also, can't deny the brilliance that comes in anime episodes.

So thank you all for sharing with me (and my gf) these awesome shows. We'll definitely spread the word.

No problem man and ya hellsing rocks as does dbz

Do we have a genre? That would help more than just listing all the popular animes.

 

[Demi-fiend]

Welcome to the NHK.

Good, good stuff right there bro.

You know i could recommend you like 25 anime that you should watch but since you only want one...

I recommend Fate/Zero:

Synopsis:

The War of the Holy Grail is a contest in which seven magi summon seven Heroic Spirits to compete to obtain the power of the "Holy Grail," which grants a miracle. After three inconclusive wars for the elusive Holy Grail, the Fourth War commences.

Founded by the Einzbern, Makiri, and Tohsaka families centuries ago, the Einzbern family is determined to achieve success after three successive failures, no matter the cost. As a result, they have elected to bring the hated magus killer, Kiritsugu Emiya, into their ranks, despite his methods and reputation as a skilled mercenary and a hitman who employs whatever he can use to accomplish his goals. Though Kiritsugu had once wanted to become a hero who could save everyone, he has long since abandoned this ideal upon realizing that saving one person comes at the cost of another's life. For the sake of humanity, he will ruthlessly destroy anything and anyone who threatens the peace of others.

However, Kiritsugu finds himself deeply torn between the love he has found for his new family—his wife Irisviel and their daughter Illya—and what he must do to obtain the Holy Grail. Meanwhile, Kiritsugu's greatest opponent appears in the form of Kirei Kotomine, a priest who cannot find any sense of fulfillment in his life and sets his sights on Kiritsugu as the possible answer to the emptiness he feels.

If Quentin Tarantino would ever make an anime, it would be something like this.

 

[Erian1Mortal]

I'd recommend GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) .
It's one of my all time favourite comedy animes.
Other then that, try Kill la Kill or Gurren Laggan, awesome over the top action!

 

[TerrorA]

Berserk, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

 

[MephistoCarnival]

Deadman Wonderland
Or Black Butler if you prefer action done in a more elegant manner.

I have 10 more amazing anime as recommendations but these 2 I felt that eagerness after each episode/chapter if we reffer to the manga which is as always,greater.

[ToCool74]

Cowboy Bebop

This anime is truly a masterpiece and although its a good chance you may have seen it already I still felt the need to post it.

Berserk

Gungrave

And last but not least,

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!

Agreed. Also,I hate when they start to have a different turn,way too different from where the manga is going.And it's worse when it's full of fillers .

Well they kept story mainly same, aside from when they cut some other deadmen from anime and ended it abruptly in the middle of manga. Very shame, since manga is over now and they could have publish it completely.
