lol if you pretty much do not like any of those animes, then what DO you like
And idk what you're talking about KHR having too little action.

Idk about high quality, but i really liked high school of the dead, and elfen lied. Elfen lied has an interesting storyline, and overall has a good ending imo (also very short). HSD is awesome because of zombies, and awesome characters, although there are too many fanservices -_-

@Deciduous I won't. I should seriously watch those three series you recommended when I find time. If you love Dennou Coil, then I trust your taste in anime to be exceptional.

Just wanted to add A Letter to Momo as a serious recommendation. It's reminiscent of a Ghibli film and I don't remember the last time I saw such fluid and detailed animation.

Kaiba - dystopian future where memories can be bought and sold, bodies are just vessels for said memories. the world is also separated into two strata by a strange storm cloud, the hyper-rich who hoard memories and eternal youth via body-hopping live above while everyone else exists below. the short series begins with an amnesiac MC who is constantly on the run from authority while discovering his past and how it has greater ties to unrest in the society. short series with great art and emotional impact, there are plenty of episodes devoted to just giving you an idea of what it's like to live in the world of Kaiba before actually diving into a lot of the plot.

Mononoke - stylized historical thriller that follows a mysterious medicine seller as he travels, finding paranormal instances and solving them. the series is also fairly short and split into distinct arcs with a structured format. the medicine seller must discover the Three Truths about the paranormal instance before he can give form to the demons/ghosts and fight them. it's really a great visual piece and uses traditional asian ghost stories to create interesting, mysterious, and often tense situations.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - ongoing seinen action series. this first season is divided into two parts: a first where Jonathan Joestar must fight against his adoptive brother, Dio Brando, both for the favor of his father and later for his own life, as Dio's abusive upbringing and lust for power lead him to pursue any means necessary to crush the Joestars and take their wealth. part two focuses on Jonathan's grandson, who is drawn into an age-old conflict between a martial arts clan and the beings as the source of the power Dio Brando used. i can make the plot seemingly serious as above, but fully expect the show to be bizarre (it's in the title) in what takes place and the mental machinations of the characters, because it does become a pretty ridiculous and cerebral battle show after a bit. the budget is definitely low but it is used well and there are some absolutely amazing art direction decisions. you can always wait for the BD rips as well, since they've got all the heavy censoring off what gore there is and the animation quality has been kicked up a notch.

i think i'll leave it at those three. sorry if i seem a bit overzealous but i'm really trying to sell you on these series! they're some of my favorites along with Dennou Coil, which i know you don't seem too keen on but it really is great.

I agree with him. KHR should have been a 10.
I'd recommend Angel Beats.

It's frightening how many people think the TC is entirely serious about this.

>Reviews say good, but I don't like it, but I'm still going to watch it
Are you seriously just going to look at MAL rankings for these things and make a choice based on them?
If so, why not just go through MAL's top 200 and find what you haven't watched?

Evangelion should be obligatory for any anime fan to watch. It's possibly the most influential anime ever made.

Just watched episode 16 of Psycho Pass...and you're missing out. Dropping it because of "too much dialog" is silly, you said it yourself you skipped to a random episode, of course you won't understand the context of what's going on. Dialog is not wasted in this series, ever scene is gold.

And I agree with Chihayafuru, it's a good series.

Why do you people insist on asking recommendations from a community that on average, have watched less than you? Your scale for rating anime is also extremely flawed. How can a show deserve a 0/10; that would imply the anime didn't even air, or it absolutely failed every important category. Does your English teacher give you a 0/100 on an essay because he hated it? No, he'd give you a 40 or something.

Jesus Christ, come ask for anime recommendation when you've watched 800+ series.
