Anime

Some anime recommendations?

So I'm kind of looking for anime to watch here and there, got any recommendations? Genre-wise, I prefer drama titles as well as space opera mech(mostly real-robot, but certain super robot titles such as GGG is also welcome) and fantasy-adventure a la Slayers.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/FanOfKOTOKO&show=0&order=4]MAL list for reference[/url]

I'm watching a good amount of what's airing on TV currently, and I'm not really looking around to rewatching anything I've already watched or potentially dropped, either.

I understand that my specifications might be slightly restrictive, but have you guys got anything neat to share? (:

Any other suggestions? O_o[/quote]

I honestly really struggled to even think of any that's not on your list. You've seen all my favourites anyway. (ARIA!)

And yeh, most likely have watched Granzort as a kid. I watched it like 15~20 years ago or so? But recently watched it again, good memories.

Only things I can suggest is picking up Tantei Opera Milky Holmes again, just seen it and it's suprisingly really really good.
And things like One Piece and Slam Dunk, unless you're already reading or read the manga? If so, then ignore that.

[quote=madeintaiwan]That list is way too long. Those that aren't on your list that I can think of. (Completely ignoring your preferences)

Madou King Granzort!
Bartender
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes

Glad to see you've watched ARIA![/quote]

[quote=B3attleM3ge]I see you have dropped many excellent anime series, however it is your opinion so i will not suggest them to you. However, I suggest you drop Guilty Crown and go back to watching Beelzebub.[/quote]
I'm not really looking into currently airing titles. I'm already watching like 20-something out of the 90-100 titles airing on TV at the moment :x

You're a difficult man to please, Shiro.
The best I'd say that are unique to me in the MAL Comparisons would be Bartender (though the manga is better), Kaiji, and the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex/2nd Gig series.

You also noticed that I don't have a lot of "risque" titles on there if at all.

It seems like you have watched almost every single anime I can recommend. o.o
Well, your list doesn't seem to have [b]Samurai Champloo, Hajime no Ippo or Deadman Wonderland[/b] so I guess i'll recommend those anime.

I couldn't be bothered to scroll through your MAL when Im on a crappy phone, so Im going to toss a few titles in.
Durarara!
Baccano!
Hanasaku Iroha
Nichijou

Im gonna take a guess, but since you have over 800 titles seen, You probably have watched DRRR!/Baccano! already. Well, I'll edit this later when I can use a computer.

drama wise, clannad and clannad:afterstory. I highly advise you to avoid the movie of it, however.
mecha wise, code geass and its second season.

EDIT: I've looked through your list of watched animes, and saw that you didn't watch deadman wonderland. You should try it; not a bad title imo.

Hu. You have the same problem I have with manga. I read through them so quickly, I can never find any new ones to read...

Let's see...

Carnival Phantasm?

It's so hard finding anything that's not on your list.

Jesus you're picky at your 10/10's. You've dropped over 200, watched over 800 o______o.

I also noticed you never watched D. Gray man (103 Episodes); About an exorcist slaying demons, pretty good anime.
You gave Death note a 6..and crappy ones higher

I see you haven't seen Magical Lyrical Girl Nanoha the movie 1st
Rosario+Vampire CAPU2
Kampfer
Minami-ke Okawari
Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian
Mayochiki!
...just off the top of my head
Hooray for people who do not watch the more popular anime (the ones that most likely have an english dub)

[quote=mewmeister]May I ask why you dropped Shakugan no Shana II 4 eps before the end but are watching Shakugan no Shana III?[/quote]
I basically read up to the most recent volumes during the second season and didn't really feel like watching it instead when I could be going ahead with the text. Watching it now since I don't really feel like burning my wallet alive to pay for shipping.

Minami-ke S2 should be avoided, but S3 was on par with the original.
