here are three of my favorites that i also think are quite good, and i was able to pull trailers for: The Eccentric Family - a really excellent supernatural family drama adapted from a novel by the author of Tatami Galaxy (another anime people are recommending itt) Tsuritama - a coming-of-age story about an alien who forces a socially awkward boy to learn how to fish and make friends Mononoke - an episodic horror/mystery series that follows a nameless medicine seller as he encounters mononoke (basically ghosts) and must uncover their reason for existence before he can slay them. and now the rest: Planetes - sci-fi about people collecting space debris Cromartie High School - gag comedy that spoofs delinquent manga tropes. Freddy Mercury and a robot voiced by Norio Wakamoto are recurring characters. Paranoia Agent - i dunno how to sell this other than say it's Satoshi Kon's only tv series and it's excellent Windy Tales - very chill slice of life about a group of kids who learn to control wind, though the powers are less important than the people they meet and things they get up to. Honey and Clover - romance dramedy set at an art college Kamichu! - a middle school girl wakes up one day and is suddenly a god! very sweet and goofy show about the issues she has to face with her newfound power, such as helping her city stave off a poverty god or act as a go-between for the japanese government and a martian. Mushishi - episodic fantasy show about a traveling "mushi master," as he encounters people with strange afflictions caused by mushi. Akagi - gambling show about a mahjong prodigy Ergo Proxy - sci-fi dystopia, can't think of how to sum this one up tbh Ouran High School Host Club - rom-com about an androgynous girl who falls into debt and has to pay it off by pretending to be a guy in her school's host club Kemonozume - a romeo and juliet-esque story where the heir to a dojo of monster hunters elopes with a woman who is one of the monsters he used to hunt Denno Coil - a show about a group of kids who investigate strange occurences in their town with AR goggles Baccano - one of those converging stories that interweaves the tales of a group of immortals, gangsters, serial killers, and two hilarious idiots. Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor - a total loser is saddled with immense debt, but given a chance to pay it off by betting life and limb in dangerous gambles. Moyashimon - lovely semi-educational comedy show about a guy who can see microbes attending an agricultural college. Michiko to Hatchin - road-trip show following a young girl and an escaped convict as they travel across south america to find the girl's father. Katanagatari - adventure series about a naive martial artist and a strategist collecting mystical swords to curry favor with the shogunate. amazing ost, unique character designs, and great animation! Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt - raunchy comedy about two angels trying to earn their way back into heaven by defeating monsters Nichijou - a gag comedy where episodes are made up of vignettes. mainly follows a group of three girls who attend school together, and a robot who lives at home with her child genius creator. amazing animation quality Tiger and Bunny - superhero series where the heroes are sponsored and their heroics are televised and ranked Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou - gag comedy about the stupid poo poo high school boys do Hyouka - series about a high school literary club that gets roped into solving mysteries, due to one member's insatiable curiosity and another's sharp intellect. really interesting twist on mystery, as they're all fairly low stakes but still very emotionally engrossing. amazing visuals and character animation The Woman Called Fujiko Mine - a darker take on Lupin, this standalone series follows Fujiko Mine as she crosses paths with the Lupin crew and tries to uncover the mystery behind strange repressed memories that are suddenly surfacing Humanity Has Declined - a surreal post-apocalyptic series where most humans are dead and the world is dominated by strange fairies. follows an unnamed human as she tries to clean up after the messes/harm the fairies leave in their wake while pursuing entertainment. Shinsekai Yori - after humans suddenly gain telekinesis, society collapses and thousands of years of unrest follow. the series follows a group of children growing up in the aftermath, in a society where some things don't seem quite right and the outside world is filled with strange creatures. Gatchaman Crowds - a stylish superhero series that explores the good and bad of social media, with a second season that dips its toes into politics and populism Gin no Saji - a burnt-out booksmart student enrolls in an agricultural high school in hopes of escaping academic pressure and figuring out what he wants to do with his life. Haikyuu - sports series about volleyball. from what i've seen of sports shows, this is an especially amazing package of ost, direction, and dynamic animation. follows two immensely talented boys as they join a high school volleyball team that has fallen from its former heights. fleshes out the cast very well, is great at building tension and emotional investment, and revealed to me how much strategy can go into volleyball. Ping Pong the Animation - sports series about ping pong, following several players and the relationships between them and the game of ping pong itself. i dunno, i'm not great at selling this one either...but it's worth a shot! Barakamon - when a young calligrapher publicly embarrasses himself in a competition, his father sends him to a remote island as punishment and an opportunity for reflection and artistic improvement. by becoming part of the island's community, he finds inspiration and learns to develop his art. Amagi Brilliant Park - a smart but narcissistic high school student is enlisted to help save an amusement park, where all the staff are magical creatures that will vanish from existence if the park closes. despite the premise, it's mostly comedy Shirobako - a feel-good/educational workplace drama about an anime production company as they make two anime series. Gundam Build Fighters - ostensibly a sports show, it's about kids fighting in competitions with small gundam models that come to life. dogsicle fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Oct 4, 2016 |

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been interested in Gundam Unicorn (I do love Build Fighters), but I has been a long time since I have seen an UC Gundam series. Is it ok just to jump in there?

Heck, I've known people who enjoyed it as their first exposure to UC stuff.

Also if you liked gundam back in the day, you shoudl watch the most recent series, ironblooded orphans. It's pretty solid and has a second season starting right now

I liked Iron Blood Orphans, but I wish there had been a few more Gundam Fights. The darker tone was a nice change of pace. Macross Frontier was one of the few series I went out and found. One of my all time favorites is Macross Plus.

Yeah... really nothing good at all between 2004-2014. They really hosed anime up during that time. Thankfully, it's saved now, so you picked a good time to get back into it!

You missed out on three divisive Evangelion movies, but luckily also most of the time spent waiting for the fourth one to come out.

I watched Kaiji, and it is kind of messed up. I figured the he would win out in the end. Nope. Haven't watched the second series yet. Gatchaman Crowds sounds really cool since I like the original series. Is Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex worth watching? I did not like the original movie, but I am a big Yoko Kanno fan. I used to think that her soundtracks would make anything better, but then I saw Brain Power.

GitS: SAC is really good, though its angle is more like a police procedural set in the GitS world instead of being a deep philosophical/theological musing like Oshii's GitS work.

Not gonna lie, ToraDora was a surprise for me too, and strangely enough all in the execution, as the synopsis sounds like the most generic trash ever. So yeah, go ahead. I also blew through S1 of MSG: Iron Blooded Orphans, which I enjoyed quite a bit.

Thanks for the ToraDora suggestion. It is really fun. I just re-watched ReLife for the third time and was looking for something like that. Yeah the synopsis is true, but does make it seem like generic trash.

Jojo is a water cooler anime, impress your work colleagues with your knowledge. Also, it's already on that ADTRW anime of the year list, but Kids on the Slope is a real good anime about music and comradery.

LOVE LOVE SKELETON posted:comradery. I almost corrected you but this is a good joke, well done. Watch Standalone Complex. Terror in Resonance is worth it for the Kanno soundtrack, though otherwise is not exceptional. I'm envious OP, there's a lot of good stuff in that decade. Legend of the Galactic Heroes will be notably missing from others lists, which I'm reasonably sure wasn't available subtitled and complete until 2010 or so? Not going to be streaming anywhere though!

I had to check twice to make sure I wasn't deluded by sleep, but I can't believe you butts haven't mentioned Erased. Only 12 eps, but it wraps up decently, animation is good, and character drama is good.

Soft ball easy answer nobody mentioned: Eureka Seven- Slow starting, kid climbs into mecha anime that really redeems itself when it shifts gears. Great sound tracks, world building is interesting, good cast of characters. Berserk had a resurgence but they cheaped out on it and threw cgi at it. Watch Claymore- all the violence and bleakness of Berserk with well choreographed fight scenes, still in a medieval setting. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood- It diverges from the series that originally aired and stays truer to the source material. If your unfamiliar it's bout a couple of brothers traveling the countryside being cops in a world where magic is treated like a science. Usagi Drop- Adorable dad anime, don't touch the comic.
