Title: In search of new material
Post by: Drauska on August 18, 2011, 06:50:38 pm: I've been in an Anime/Manga rut lately. I need help discovering new series.

Types of Anime that I like:
Trigun
Cowboy Beebop
Appleseed
Ghost in the Shell
Samurai Champloo
Black Lagoon
Inuyasha
Bleach
Naruto

Does anyone have some good suggestions? Would love to hear a shout out from the forum. Thanks!!

Also, I'd suggest Speed Grapher, Afro Samurai, Basilisk, and Utawarerumono. Good stuff!

Saw Gun Sword (Van = Spike) and Speed Grapher....good stuff. Thanks for the others!

Just watched first episode of Basilisk....looks good.

Post by: KogaRyu on August 19, 2011, 11:26:22 am: This is about all I could think of off the top of my head.

Outlaw Star like Cowboy Bebop/Trigun

Kekkaishi like Bleach

Sword of Stranger like Samurai Champloo

Hellsing Ultimate like Awesome

You know...you would probably make a great Dutch from Black Lagoon.

Post by: EveofAbyss on August 21, 2011, 05:06:10 am: I still need to see Gankutsuo. The bad part is...it's been on our shelf, part of our dvd collection, for well over 2 years, lol. I'm a bad anime watcher....

I don't like to watch anime but i love Gankutsuou. It's so amazing. It hurt my eyes at first with all the crazy patterns but then i got used to it XD my best friend and I found it at the library and watched the whole thing in one night.

They should have given Dutch more air time in the show then they did...he's a cool character.
