Seconding the Ippo recommendation. I generally can't stand that sort of sports/shounen thing but it's hella good.

If you want horror-horror, try Shiki and Higurashi. If you want action-horror, try the Hellsing OVAs and movie(s?).

I truly love Code Geass with all my heart but I would never, ever deign to call it the fifth best anime ever. The rest of that list is pretty weird too. E: The second season is even separate and makes number 14 despite being a massive clusterfuck. I guess Japan really, really likes Code Geass for some reason.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:If I just choose an anime in the top 20 of this list, am I getting something good? Madoka being so high gives me hope I would say all of them are good except Gundam, but some people like that. E: Also I really don't like Attack on Titan but you might love it so give that a shot too.

khy posted:Full Metal Panic. It has a good mix of military, mechs, and some light hearted silliness. Seconding this. It's got a good mix of over-the-top ridiculousness via the main character being a humorless straight-laced military vet stuck in the middle of high school shenanigans, and serious military/mech warfare with good action scenes. I didn't watch either of the follow-up series, though I believe Fumoffu is more comedy-leaning than the original and Second Raid is the other way around.

I'm looking for something really sad. The type of sad doesn't really matter, just a persistent sad theme throughout most or at least a good part of the show.

DamnGlitch posted:Sad ultraviolent trashy supreme champion: Elfen Lied After watching that I was more depressed by the fact that I watched something so bad than I was by the depressing poo poo in the show. I've watched a lot of trashy anime and that still tops the list of ones I hate the most, I think. Heavy Metal posted:I can ask for a certain kind of recommendation while mentioning that I'm going to be watching another kind of show sometime. I didn't say I was looking for stuff like Academia. I've been avoiding Madoka for years, it doesn't look like my thing. Pretty much the entire point of Madoka is that it subverts literally all of your expectations about what it's going to be. It's not at all a slice of life magical girl show, or whatever. The fact that they're in school at all is only ever relevant like twice, and then only for establishing how characters meet each other.

Heavy Metal posted:I know about the show and that it's dark and whatnot, haven't been living under a rock. It's just funny that you can't ask for recommendations without being told to watch Madoka, since my criteria there was pretty much ruling out Madoka. It's a show about kids being tormented, in some part, or a dark drama starring kids, I understand it'll be thrilling and inspiring by the end but it's not what I'm asking for. Why have individual taste and a topic to recommend stuff tailored to people's tastes if everyone has to watch Madoka? Sorry, I misread what you were asking for.  F/Z is, however, really great. Especially if you don't already have the general gist of how it ends spoiled for you by watching or playing FSN, which it's a prequel to.

DamnGlitch posted:I see you consider trashy a bad thing. What a shame. I love me some trashy anime, I watch a lot of it, but Elfen Lied is not the good kind of trashy. It's the "get sad drunk and ponder why you bother anymore" kind of trashy.

You would very likely enjoy Kaiji, Hellsing Ultimate, and the rest of JJBA. Probably Ruroni Kenshin too. Skip the rest of the Hellsing stuff imo, it just doesn't compare to HU. I can't recommend the Love Hina anime to anyone, but the manga ain't bad if you don't mind haremcomedy. Negima (also the manga) by the same author has similarly good characters but is also fairly action-heavy so it may be more up your alley. As much as I love Noir, its pacing is absolutely glacial. It's very artsy and has great music but would probably bore you to tears. Madlax is a sort of spiritual sequel that at least has more going on, you may enjoy that more and I'd definitely recommend you try watching it first if you're interested in that kind of work.

Rinkles posted:Ninja Scroll is a straightforward action movie with great animation, that anyone okay with some gore and sexual situations should enjoy. Noir is, imo, the worst of Kajiura's soundtracks, and that says a lot about her music. Fajita Queen fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Dec 10, 2017 |

Rinkles posted:Any standout shows, with an She has a pretty solid stable of soundtracks under her belt. .hack//SIGN, Tsubasa Chronicle, Noir, and Madlax are all decent but niche shows with good music. Mai Hime, Fate/Zero, Madoka, and Erased are all good. Sword Art Online is... Sword Art Online. I've heard good things about Zaregoto and Princess Principal but haven't seen either yet. She's also done some more obscure stuff I haven't watched. Some of my favorite songs by her are from her FICTION solo albums, though a lot of the songs are on the Japanese releases only so you're gonna need to grab some  if you wanna listen, since Japanese media companies are super hardcore about cracking down on region-locked stuff on Youtube et. al.

Paracelsus posted:Noir only had a handful of good songs, but those were really good. The soundtrack was really drug down by the overuse of the music box piece for every goddamn flashback. I really like the OP, as well as Canta Per Me and Salva Nos. The FICTION versions of both of those are better though, imo.

Start with Fate/Zero imo, it's probably the best VN adaptation anime ever made. Also, since it's a technically a prequel, you won't have a lot of the end parts spoiled(ish) by F/SN.

BigRed0427 posted:Second, lets go for some darker superhero/action orientated stuff that still manages to be uplifting in the end. Stuff like Madoka Magica and Neon Genesis Evengellion. You might enjoy Mai-HiME, It's a darker-leaning actiony magical girl show that has some funny, uplifting, and gay parts and also has a great soundtrack.

If you want a good isekai type story you could also go read the web serial novel The Wandering Inn which while not an anime or even that similar to most light novels hits a lot of those story and setting beats rather well.

Madlax is sort of a lesbian fighting anime but it's also pretty slow and the plot is wonky as gently caress so ymmv. The lesbian couple has two really good leifmotifs and eat pasta together though so that makes up for a lot.

Have to agree with Baccano. You will likely be a bit confused yeah, but it doesn't matter because that poo poo is  and you will be riveted until it's over. It's also not that long.

Madlax and Noir are early 00's but have a very 90's Anime feel to them. Kinda slow paced and wonky outside the fight sequences though.
