I've already watched good portions of all of these, but I would need to rewatch them to add them to my list. Thanks for the suggestions though!

Already seen, and waiting for Shippuden to finish.

Shaman King, because it's one of the best animes I have watched (and I watched it many times). It can't believe I didn't see it in your list!
Also, Arakawa Under the Bridge is a very enjoyable anime. It's really funny and I love the characters.

I've already seen parts of Shaman King, I just haven't rewatched it so I could add it to my list.
Arakawa Under the Bridge looks very enjoyable. I will certainly have to watch it.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Comment has been collapsed.
Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji looks decent, might wait until the OVA airs though.
Haikyuu!! has a second season announced, although we don't know when that will be. I'll probably hold off for now.
I'm currently watching Zankyou no Terror, it seems pretty good so far.
The other series are ongoing too. Once they are finished, then I will have to start (except Binan Koukou, it looks absolutely terrible)
Thanks for the suggestions
Comment has been collapsed.
ouob
Binan might look terrible, my first reaction was "WTF is this?" too :D
But then I watched the first episode and laughed a lot, since it's kinda a parody to all these "magical girl" stuff :)
(I know that tastes are different, and it's still ongoing too, but I would recommend you to just watch the first episode, and decide then :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure. I do like parody series, and it might be good. It just reminded me of Samurai Flamenco by the look of it, and that series was way too ridiculous.
Comment has been collapsed.
Here's one for you that I've watched tons of times, the first time being back in 1993 in the Paris Theater in Montreal on the big screen...uncensored and uncut... Urotsukidōji: Legend of the Overfiend!!! I definitely recommend it.
And it's the first and best one of the series... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urotsukidoji

I see these labeled as hentai. How much hentai vs content are in them?
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Not bad considering I haven't rated the majority of my list.
Psycho Pass 2 : How can you rate the first one so high and haven't watched the second already? Don't watch any trailers for this or the movie before you finish it.
Yakitate Japan : This series can pull off so many episodes with the only subject being bread. Simply hilarious.
Gintama : Episodes might seem to be a lot but you can't go wrong with this one. You can put it on hold and restart at any point too.
Nodame Cantabile : Even if you are not into shoujo, I suggest you give it a shot, not only for the music but the main characters' combo is quite enjoyable.
Also, even if you are not into Sports anime, I'd recommend One Outs. Seems you enjoyed Death note and Code geass so I assume you liked the amount of mind games and calculating going on in them. One Outs is that applied in a series about baseball. Unexpectedly good and I am not into sports anime myself (maybe except this and Kuroko).
I didn't recommend any of the ongoing ones since from your Watching list, you seem to be waiting for things to end, in order to watch them. I am not here for any giveaway, also, so feel free to skip me. I just like checking MAL lists :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Glad to see that we are so compatible :p Anyways...
Psycho Pass 2 is one I need to watch. It's superb, and you are the 6th one to recommend it I believe
Yakitate Japan looks interesting. I never knew they could make a series so long solely about bread. Will definitely watch.
Gintama is one I want to watch from start to finish. Whenever they finally stop airing episodes, then I will watch it.
Nodame Cantabile is one I downloaded then forgot to watch since my harddrive died. I will certainly be watching this one.
One Outs looks cool, I hadn't heard anything about it. (Also I should probably rewatch Code Geass and readjust my rating, it was one of the first things I watched and I'm sure it would get a lower rating now)
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll still whitelist you just in case you are interested in any of the giveaways, and if not then no harm done.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you are interested in ongoing ones or particular genres, I could recommend some more. Those were just the ones that came to mind easily.
One outs, I tend to recommend since I almost never see it mentioned, yet everyone who watches it has nice things to say. It's a weird combination but it works well.
About Psycho Pass, just rewatched the first season since I recently received these, so now I guess I'll need to rewatch the second season waiting for the movie to come out ;_;
Comment has been collapsed.
I do like ongoing ones, but I normally wait until they are finished. Makes my life difficult with all of the waiting.
As for particular genres, anything with GAR or economics. Other than that, I watch basically anything (although I do have a soft spot for parody).
I own those as well, purchased them when I saw them on sale from rightstuf. Such a good series, I watched the entire thing in a night.
Comment has been collapsed.
You watched most of my favorite series, but I can recommend a few more:
Kyou kara Maou! - very good comedy with a good story and great characters;
Ghost Hunt - great series with a criminal and supernatural theme, sometimes a little sad, but highly recommended;
And there is my MAL, maybe you can find something else to watch:) http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Ammari&show=0&order=4
Comment has been collapsed.
Kyou kara Maou! looks pretty hilarious. Definitely will watch it.
Ghost Hunt is one that disappeared when one of my harddrives died and I never redownloaded it. I will have to do that.
Thanks for the suggestions!

A couple I din't see on you list and came to my mind are:
Fantastic Children
Paranoia Agent
Comment has been collapsed.
Fantastic Children doesn't look like the best, but I will try it out.
I already explained about Paranoia Agent ^ thataway, but yes I will be watching it.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Comment has been collapsed.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is probably one of my favorite Anime.
It's mostly a Slice of Life anime, with bits of Fantasy, Sci Fi, and Action sprinkled in here and there.
The general plot of the Anime is that it follows a a boy, who's only known by the nickname Kyon, and a beyond eccentric girl, Haruhi Suzumiya. Suzumiya is a girl who isn't satisfied with her boring existence and is always on the search for the fantastical. Kyon discovers that there's more to Suzumiya than meets even her eyes, and he must try to keep her entertained or else face the end of our universe.
Again, it's one of my favorite Anime, so I can easily recommend it. The only Blemish on an otherwise fantastic series however, are the "Endless Eight" episodes in the second season, which are eight episodes that are nearly identical to each other >.>
If nothing else, I would recommend at the least the first six episodes of the anime, which are the adaptation of the first Haruhi Suzumiya Light Novel, and in my opinion are some of the best episodes of the Anime.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've already watched it, and it was pretty great. I also watched all eight episodes of the Endless Eight, that was a little painful. Still, enjoyable overall
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, I didn't see it on your list. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed the series, it's one of my favorites.
Have you seen the movie as well?
Comment has been collapsed.
Are you interested in the Yu-Gi-Oh series? I'm watching the latest series Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V now. And I'm really enjoying it and I think it's the best ever.
This may not make sense to you if you are not familiar with the previous series and game mechanics. But while previous series focused on only Fusion Summon, Synchro Summon, XYZ Summon, this time they built a plot around equally using all the summon mechanics along with the new Pendulum Summon by using Alternate Dimensions. And they have lots of subtle and direct references to the previous series too.
Current Opening
Current Ending

I watched the original series a while ago, but I haven't been watching the new seasons due to my love of Magic: The Gathering. Yu-Gi-Oh isn't the highest thing on my list of stuff to watch, especially with all of these comments I'm trying to dig through.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Comment has been collapsed.
My favorite genre is the Action/Comedy combo. I LOVE IT!
My recommendations for you:
- Akuma no Riddle
- Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou (This is where the "Notice me, Senpai" thing came from)
- Btooom!
- Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken
- Death Parade
- Diamond no Ace
- Kuroko no Basket
- Yowamushi Pedal (If you like cycling)
- Zankyou no Terror
Feel free to check out my list: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/gijsdj98 (We have a pretty high compatibility: 74.8%)
And I didn't came for the giveaways, I saw the word "anime" in de title and I was sold ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Akuma no Riddle seems ok, but not spectacular.
Bokura was recommended to me above, definitely will be watching it.
Btooooom! looks good, perhaps not the best but still fun.
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken has a second season that hasn't aired yet. I'll probably wait for it to air.
Death Parade is also currently airing, but I will be watching it when it finishes. Same deal with Diamond no Ace, Koroko no Basket, and Yowamushi Pedal.
I'm also currently watching Zankyou no Terror. Once I'm done responding to everyone, then I'll get back to that.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'll still whitelist you, just in case you want to enter the giveaways.

Akuma no Riddle seems ok, but not spectacular.
I wanted to like Akuma no Riddle so bad. The premise was interesting, but the execution was botched, and the last episode was one of the worst in recent memory. Pity, because it had a lot of potential.
There was one episode that was really good though. It played off Romeo and Juliet. I guess the only way to save the writing of that show is to rip off a better writer wholesale. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I really wish that good premises would also become good series. Sadly it isn't the case.
Also is it worse than the last episode of Soul Eater, with the lamest way to beat a villain? I could go on about other series too, why does anime never have good endings???
Comment has been collapsed.
I've actually avoided Soul Eater for the sole (heh) reason that the ending is just going to leave me disappointed. So I can't say from experience which is worse. I would find it hard for it to be worse than Akuma no Riddle's ending though. It's basically one great handwave of "nothing that happened matters."
Comment has been collapsed.
The series is pretty great, and if you just stop watching from episode 35 (if memory serves) onwards then you skip the filler.
I won't spoil the ending of Soul Eater, but it uses the biggest/worst shounen cliche Deus ex Machina ever... Me and my friends still reference it to show our disappointment in things.

Maybe I'm not expert enough, but you already have in list all my favourites
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, maybe you can use my list then for some series you should try out. I'd heartily recommend anything with an 8 or higher.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is just the best anime ever :D
EDIT: o its on the list ...
never seen Dragon Ball Z?
Comment has been collapsed.
I have seen both, Dragon Ball Z just isn't on my list since I need to rewatch it and give it a proper rating.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well.. if you like sports anime...
You should watch Kuroko no Basket, Ace of Diamond.
Both of them are really good...
The way they the story is awesome..
Especially in Ace of Diamond.. < they focus more on the team and not only in the primary character >
Anyhow.. i think you might like it . :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm waiting for both to finish, once they are done airing then I will check them out. Thanks for the suggestions!
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, quite some list you got there, I don't get how you got time for that much anime. But here are some you, probably, haven't watched:
Hunter x Hunter (2011) (It's so much better than the original, so if you like that one you should watch the 2011 remake)
Black trigger (This is a kinda new anime, but it got a good story and some nice fighting scenes, it's just lame when the charcters change into "fighting state", which makes it childish. Great anime overall)
Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren’t They? (Not sure if it got a shorter name in japanese, but good story, fighting and a lot of humor. It remindes me of No Game No Life but abit better)
Tokyo Ghoul (Someone already metioned this, but it's a must watch, good story, universe and epic powers, which leads to nice fighting scense + season 2 just started)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I started 4-5 years ago (something like that, I don't remember exactly) and I watch it in my free time. I also fall asleep to it, so I guarantee that I watch at least 1 episode a day. It all adds up, especially if I get horribly sick and powerwatch 40+ episodes in a day.
Anyways, I found out in this thread that HxH 2011 was finished, so I will have to watch it.
World trigger looks good, I will be watching it when it finishes airing. Same with Tokyo Ghoul.
I've actually watched Problem Children, it was pretty good!
Thanks for the suggestions

I've actually watched a good chunk of Sailor Moon, but I'd need to rewatch it to add it to my list. Thanks though
Comment has been collapsed.
I suggest you :
Kyoukai no Kanata
Tokyo Ghoul
Nanatsu no Taizai
Kuroko no Basket
Strike the Blood
BTOOM
Assassination Classroom
Parasite
Ao Haru Ride
Nisekoi
Wolf Girl & Black Prince
Coppelion
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, most of these I've already touched on somewhere else in the thread. I'll talk about the ones not previously mentioned.
Nisekoi looks like a good Shaft series. I will watch it.
Coppelion has been getting universally bad reviews. Is there anything special about it, or should I just skip it due to the hate it seems to be getting?
Thanks for the suggestions!
Comment has been collapsed.
No problem :D
It had a promising premise but the anime wasn’t able to present its full potential. The whole thing felt disjointed with the shallow mind set of the show really bringing the experience down. It lacks even decent characters and also needs a more developed plot. If you enjoy cool animation with shallow plots then you’ll like this show. If you like cool fight scenes with shallow plots then you might want to check this one out. Bottom line, this show could’ve been better and it had every opportunity to do so. I enjoyed it from my side !

I'll probably check it out, but after a bunch of the other stuff that has been covered in this thread. Good things first!

Well, already mentioned most of these in the thread. I'll just touch on the ones I haven't already talked about.
The Legend of Korra looks great, and I just found out that it is done airing. I will have to watch it. (I watched Avatar already)
Fate/stay night is a series that I've enjoyed, and I will likely tackle the visual novel when I have 200+ hours to spare. Definitely watching it after the second season airs.
Thanks for the suggestions
Comment has been collapsed.
The Legend of Korra has multiple "books," just like (The Legend of Ang) The Last Airbender. In general, the storyline is more mature and complex, although I liked Ang, too. I expect you'll like Korra.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, it does look good. I will have to watch it. Although I just checked, they are apparently releasing more seasons but only online. So I might have to wait a year or so.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you wait long enough, they should have the full anime (all four seasons) in a boxed set. I've seen up through the first few episodes of Season 4 and The Legend of Korra has remained consistently excellent.

Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, Guin Saga, Samurai Seven, Tokyo Majin, Break Blade, Kino's Journey
Comment has been collapsed.
Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit is one that I will watch once one of my friends comes back (he owns the DVDs). Definitely one I will be seeing
Guin Saga looks like a cool fantasy series. I will have to watch it.
Samurai Seven is one that I've heard terrible things about. Is it any good?
Tokyo Majin looks pretty great. Another to watch thing.
I've mentioned the other two above.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I've seen Samurai 7. I didn't feel it was on par with some of the big names being thrown around in this thread, but it was entertaining enough.

From the current season Tokyo Ghoul (I like the manga creator choosed a different storyline for the anime since i dont like the ending of the manga) and Aldnoah Zero

Instead of droping a list of my favorite shows I'll just suggest you the one I just finished watching yesterday:
Girls und Panzer.
And since I'm lazy, instead of writing a quick desription I'll leave you a 15 min review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vmhSgsF6yI.

Looks like a good series, I will watch the review once I get this thread under control (currently there is another 2 pages i need to go through....)
Thanks for the suggestion

Girls und Panzer ist gud. Panzer, vor!
Also, this should get you hyped to watch it. Whatever you do, don't watch Sentai's release. In addition to being, well, Sentai (and oh my God, that dub), licensing issues means that song had to be replaced...with the same song the Tetris song was based on. It completely ruins the mood.
Comment has been collapsed.
I always try to watch the subs unless the dub is really good. Although I am partial to some Funimation dubs, and some series are infinitely better in English (Nerima Daikon and Lupin III for example)

Well Witch Craft Works is a little bit different. although main protaagonist is a typical weak? character there is someting else, a mystery that still needs to be resolved. And he is not bi#@#ch slappend all the time.

Why there's no love for romance in your poll?

Well, I often lump Slice of Life and romance together. It probably should have been two separate categories, but I won't change the poll now.
Looks good, although a little too typical shoujo. I'll still give it a try.

So I have been watching a lot of anime, and I have started to hit a brick wall. I don't really know what to watch, and I've already been through many of the top-ranked lists. So I thought that I would come to the wonderful people of SG for some help! Feel free to recommend some things, and a quick explanation of why people should watch it would be great!
I have a MAL list of all the things I have watched and what I rated them. Although it would be lovely to rewatch things I have already seen, it would be better to find new and exciting things to view.
Also I'm sure you all came in for the giveaways rather than out of the kindness of your heart. People who mention a show that I haven't watched and explain why I should watch it will be added to my whitelist. These lucky people will be allowed to join a bunch of bundle giveaways, and then will be promptly dropped from my whitelist after the giveaways finish. I might also be putting up an anime puzzle in here when I have the time, so even those who haven't watched anime but love to use their google-fu can enjoy.
Anyways, thank you for your assistance! Lets all enjoy anime together!
TLDR: Give me recommendations not on this list and explain why, I give you games and love.
EDIT: Wow, that was a large response. I'll try to get through everyone and respond to all of your posts, and then I'll whitelist everyone and create some giveaways. Check back in probably 5ish hours and I should have everything ready by then. Thanks for all of the support and recommendations!
EDIT2: After responding to four and a bit pages of recommendations, I need a break. I'll be back in an hour or so, hang tight. Giveaways should still be up when I said they would be, never fear.
EDIT3: Back for more commenting. Hopefully I can get to the bottom of this thread.
EDIT4: Finally made it to the bottom! I'll add everyone to my whitelist now and then post up the giveaways.
EDIT5: Whitelist giveaways are now up. They are all cheap bundle games, but I hope people still are interested.
Giveaway 1
Giveaway 2
Giveaway 3
Giveaway 4
Giveaway 5
EDIT6: Giveaways are over, and I'll be closing this thread. Thank you everyone for the suggestions!
