[quote=ToxicEffect]I would recommend Beelzebub, as well as for the 2012 offerings: Moretsu Pirates, Another (warning can be gory), and Listen To Me Girls, I'm Your Father. Also Shakugan no Shana 3 but if your gonna watch this, you need to watch the first 2 seasons before attempting this one.

Edit: scratch out Another, didn't read that you didn't like gore.[/quote]

Everyone seems to recommend me Moretsu Pirates, whats it about?
Is it any good? How many episodes so far? Was it on Manga before?

Watch Air, it's pretty awesome. Very similar to Clannad and also when you say Clannad, that means After Story as well too right? And Soul eater is epic, definitely watch that.

Go watch White Album.
Edit: And why the hell is Code Geass not on there? That's inarguably a top quality anime you're missing out on.

Highschool DxD for the [i]plot[/i].

Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai for the loli.
Neon Genesis Evangelion for the mind play.

Hello I just finished watching an anime called Tokyo Magnitude 0.8
Its very good and is one of those sad/life anime's
If you like Clannad, Kanon, and Angel Beats I recommend you watch it.
I cried so much on the last episode I hope you watch it ^^
Also if you would like, AnoHana, its basically another sad/life anime
Both are I believe 11 episodes? They don't drag and are quite good

[quote=malapo]Put this on hold and watch School Rumble on your to watch list.
Boku wa Tomodachi was ok. I only enjoyed the Sena and Kobato bits. everyone else was boring or annoying (perverted genius and index)

Aria sucks, ZnT sucks, you should watch Rie kugimiyas better roles like Gintama or Hayate No Gotoku

http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2265516/1/The_Anime_and_Manga_Resource_Package.html[/quote]

Haha I'm on ep7 right now
Your name directly advertises Gintama, so I'll take that into consideration.
What genre/plot is it?

Pfft, I'm part of the 10% with good taste, obviously. Also because HE STILL HASN'T CROSSED ROSARIO+VAMPIRE YET. IT POOPED ON THE AWESOME MANGA.

[quote=Hoopla12345]Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann "IDK if it is any good though"?

ITS THE BEST ANIME IN THE FRIGGEN UNIVERSE!

I've watched nearly 10 times the amount you have watched, heck even more.

My top 3 are

1. TTGL
2. FMA Brotherhood
3. Clannad + Clannad Afterstory[/quote]

Sir. You've made me start watching TTGL for the 6th time now. Don't know what to say to that.

OT: watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Easily top 10 of the best animes out there. Another that's short, but REALLY good in my opinion, is Fooly Cooly.

Lmfao, this.

Though seriously, you should watch Ano Hana (Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai)
Ano Natsu de Matteru
Code Geass
Gintama (<-- too funny xD)
Chihayafuru
Ouran was pretty good too.
And Sugar Sugar Rune if you could find it

[quote=jsh323]Regarding your "to-watch" list, do NOT watch Amagami SS. It was possibly one of the worst animes I have ever watched... On a side note, I can't believe you have not watched Code Geass or Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Those two are simply amazing and I highly recommend you watch them both. I believe Code Geass is only 50 episodes while Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is only 27 or something so they don't drag on at all.[/quote]

I avoided Mecha-themed animes for a while.
Kinda interested in them now. Maybe Evangelion.
I personally don't like Code Geass's artwork.
and I hated Gundam soooo.

Shuffle and Rosario Vampire are both really good in my opinion Reading the manga for Rosario Vampire and it's really interesting (except for the fact that they upload new chapters on random times ~,~) but anime itself was great
Kanokon it's ok... I don't think it's loli, it's just that the main character is tiny and looks like a little kid.
