Took a break from anime, need suggestions on good new series!
I've been busy for a while and haven't watched much anime, so I need your help finding the best new series to watch. The last series I watched was Death Note, absolutely loved it. So please, if any new series come to mind that are similar to the my favs listed below, let me know! Thanks in advance.
Currently working on: Seirei no Moribito Memorable favorites: Death Note Elfen Lied Shingetsutan Tsukihime GITS:SAC FMP FMA Honey and Clover KimiNozo Suzuka Avatar (if it counts!) Recently Finished: Aishiteru ze Baby Baccano! I've seen quite a few series, but these are the ones that immediately come to mind. Basically I like series that are either excellent storylines with good action and character development, or slice of life romance. Things I don't like are anime like Naruto or Bleach which run on with barely any plot development. Thanks, any help is appreciated. Last edited by *Pyoro*; 2007-12-19 at 15:47. |

I'd highly reccommend any of the 5 shows in my sig-banner, though if you want a place to start specifically, I'd do Baccano first since it's the mot refreshing, original anime to exist in... like, ever. But if you'd rather have something to really really get drawn into, go for Welcome to the NHK.

i've watched all of NHK and a bit of eureka 7, couldnt really get into eureka. NHK was pretty good, but i was watching it in the middle of dead winter in cleveland so its depressing nature hit a little too close to home
ill definitely check out the others tho, thanks for the tip! |

If you can take a bit of a depressing theme and being eaten alive - literally - by dramatic settings, then watch Clannad. I'm watching it as I post and given I already want to crawl into fetal position and take cover in a corner, I'd say it's good.
I second Tengen Toppa. Awesome storyline and lots of action - good character development too. Eureka SeveN is very good and I recommend it. Get to it if you can. Lucky Star is obviously an unspoken candidate to you, if you like the slice of life/comedy genre.

Check out ef ~a tale of memories~. It's a refreshingly original romance with deep characters and "interesting" presentation. Not for everyone, but I loved it. Work through the first few episodes of boring cliches and paper thin characters. It gets far better later.
If you liked Kiminozo/KGNE, check out Hanbun Tsuki ga Noboru Sora. It's got a lot of the same themes.

ok finished baccano last nite, liked it a lot despite the ending feeling a little rushed. I watched the first episode of Seirei no Moribito, and it seems a little slow to me, not much action to grab my attention and characters seem a little distant. I'll stick with it for a few more tho, and I will check out Code Geass.
