Link | by Futalis on 2005-05-05 21:47:22
I am kinda new to anime and mangas, but so far i ahve read Sensual Phrase, seen Outlaw Star, hack sign, and Fruits basket.
Can someone please give a reponse on their personal opinion of these and any other animes/mangas that they would suggest?

Well, depends on what genre you like. I can tell you some. :)

Are miracles worth believing? We'll just have to see, don't we? What you see, that is reality. What you remember, that is illusion. Ps: Why are you looking here? Coversation above!

yes you must XD NGE is really good. And if you're into that genre (the surreal) you can watch Serial Experiment Lain too.

and about those series that you have mentioned...so far I have been able to watch the last three. .hack is good but I don't like the pacing (slow >_<). Outlaw Star is...soso (or maybe the dubbing is), maybe because I think it's kinda typical and Furuba is one of those series you /MUST/ watch 'coz it's one of the greatest (the anime almost have no plot whatsoever but it could still glue you on the screen).

If you like Fruits Basket then I suggest watching His and Her Circumstances (aka Karekano) by Gainax. Then some Ghibli works ('coz Ghibli Rocks XD)

If you liked .hack//SIGN, you may want to check out other anime from Studio Bee Train... such as Noir, Madlax and Tsubasa Chronicle.

Evangelion indeed or if your into crazy comedy watch Excel Saga or if your into romance/comedy go for Onegai Teacher (Please Teacher) Trigun's a good action to watch.

hmmm. if you like fantasy action adventure, maybe you can try those by CLAMP, exp Magic Knight Rayearth. I guess it depends on a person's definition and stuff, but to me, MKR has all three genres. =D

I too am fairly new to anime, but i am makeing up for lost time and have watched quiet a few in the past months. my suggestion for those looking for fantasy action adventure is Trigun. its a well rounded show with all the key points needed for a great watch. others i would suggest are more like cartoons but if thats what you like I would look into Naruto and Bleach.


Here is a summery I stole:
Vash the Stampede: a gunslinger considered so dangerous that there is a $60 million bounty on his head. Such things aren't taken lightly in the "John Wayne meets the friendly post-apocalypse" universe of TRIGUN, and there are hundreds, if not thousands of bounty hunters more than willing to cash in. There are only a couple of problems: first, no one's quite sure what Vash is supposed to look like, so plenty of fakes claim his identity in order to strike fear in the hearts of their enemies. Second, there's the slight problem the real Vash has--he's a complete idiot! How he has stayed alive for as long as he has is unbelievable, but it's no matter. As the events in the first volume of TRIGUN unfold, we follow the incredible life of Vash as he wriggles his way out of countless situations through his utter incompetence. There are two young women he runs into frequently--Meryl and Milly--whose job is to track him down for their insurance company, since they pay out countless claims for the damage left in his wake. Meryl can't believe that such a moron could actually be such a legend, though, and so their quest continues. As they wander, they find out that Vash may be crazy, but ultimately he's a good man whose only real sin is to be in the middle of so much lunacy
