Just thought I'd ask,

Does anyone watch anime here? Cuz I seem to be on an anime trip recently. If so, which ones?

Dragon Ball Z.

Depends on what you are into, I suppose.

I really enjoyed the series: Inuyasha, Full-Metal Alchemist (haven't watched Brotherhood yet), and Avatar - The Last Airbender (really is one of my favorites.)  But all for different reasons.

Whether you consider Avatar anime or not sort of depends on where you draw the line, I suppose.  That and FMA has a few episodes that made me feel all of the feels.  And without spoiling too much if you haven't watched it, the ending of Avatar has to be one of the best series wrap-ups ever.  I honestly had no idea how they would wrap it up until the actual climactic resolution.  I'm still really impressed by that piece of writing.

FMA was a little looser and sometimes preachy... but I enjoyed it.

I'm only barely into Anime, though.  People have recommended a ton of great stuff that still sits in my Netflix queue. :)

Here is a list of Anime that I have watched, telling if I still watch:

• Full-Metal Alchemist - Watched
• Full-Metal Alchemist Brotherhood - Watched 3 times, still watching it
• Naruto - Finally getting to watch, when I was little as soon as it came on I had to go to bed.
• Inuyasha - Used to, got bored of it. I have wanted to get back into it for months but I never really tried.
• One Piece - When I was little, not anymore even since it came back on air.
• DragonBall Z/GT - I was into it for years, this is what got me to be a great anime artist, but I think I lost that ability once I got a computer, or I just got bored of drawing the same thing 300000x for years :)
• Avatar - The Last Airbender - I would still watch it if we had the channel for it (nicktoons).

There may be a few others that I can't think of at the moment.

Hayao Miyazaki made some pretty awesome movies

I've only seen Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle, and Porko Rosso but they have all been great.

Of course The Last Air Bender and The Legend of Korra too, I'd be crazy if I hadn't watched those.

Howl's moving castle and Spirited away are both MUST WATCH movies. If you have the time Paul, WATCH THEM. Studio Ghibli is amazing.

I sometimes watch...
Naruto (my favorite)
Dragon Ball Z (also my favorite)
Avatar: The Last Airbender
One Piece (least favorite out of these)
Etc.

I have... I'm not the OP. :)  Well, I haven't watched all of Spirited Away yet but I've seen HMC a bunch of times.

A:tLA
Can't think of any others.

I highly recommend Sprited Away. Also, Howl's Moving Castle, Cowbow Bebop, and Samurai Champloo,

Is it sad i've seen all of these and much more? I'm an anime freak  ;D

DBZ, Avatar and Spirited away all have a growing nostalgic feeling to them, but they were my favorites. Nowadays it's FMA, Code Geass, Last Exile, Samurai Champloo, etc.

Actually, I do have yet to see Castle in the Sky, that is high on my list currently! will sit down for it after I'm done with Fairy Tail.

u have high school of the dead   i thought was good little perverted but thats okay sometime

RESURECTION

Okay guys, I have recently watched all of the Avatar series and the Sword Art Online series. WOW, just wow. Thanks to this thread for making me check out Avatar and thanks to Avatar and the Oculus Rift for making me watch SAO.

SAO REALLY makes me wonder what mmos will be like in the next couple decades

Avatar was really great.  I can think of very few series that I would happily watch all the way through again, would enjoy myself nearly 100% of the time, and also managed to wrap up the story so satisfyingly.  It was just perfect.  I've already seen many of the episodes two and three times because I've watched some of them again with my son.  I still have a desire to someday run through the whole series in order again.  Just the right tone.  (*)

To me it stands above other great series like Full Metal Alchemist (which I might be willing to slog through one more time) and Inuyasha (more episodic and then just drags on and on trying to best itself into an ultimately fairly unsatisfying conclusion, later movies aside).

* - an episode that I really think shows the depth of thinking involved in Avatar is the one that is dedicated to Mako who did the voice of Uncle Iroh.  "Tales of Ba Sing Se" manages to mix the adventure and quirky humor of the show together with the deeper tale of Iroh putting together a picnic for some special occasion.  Along the way he helps a lot of people, including a little boy to whom he sings a cheerful song about a boy coming home from war.  It is finally revealed that the picnic is to remember his dead son's birthday.  His son had died in the previous war and Iroh wishes he could have helped him like he helped all of the other people.  He sings the same song again only now it takes on a different meaning in context.  By the time the dedication to Mako pops up, I was nearly completely unraveled.

...but I think it shows the level of thinking and subtlety that went into the stories and characters.  How even taken in total, the motivations and transformations are clear and consistent, and often lightly foreshadowed all the way from the first episodes.  Just really excellent story-crafting.

I liked trigun, but haven't watched it in years, evangelion ( I think that's the name) was fun until it took a weird turn and hurt my head.

Then there is ghost in the machine, .hack (loved the games, original and gu.) and akira, another oldie is vampire hunter d.

I have seen many of the show talked about in this thread but only a few really impressed me. Since I liked sword art online so much I have been leaning to start .hack soon.

also some of my older favs are samuirai champloo and cowbow bebop

Both of them are great.  I only forgot to mention them because I thought everyone already knew about them but I don't know why that would be.  They've just like "always been there" for me.

Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, and Trigun are very similar in feel. I'm currently re-watching Code Geass, waiting for more dubs of Fairy Tail and Attack on Titan, finished SAO a long time ago (I love the part where he gets ambushed and he regens health faster than they can do damage xD rpg logic) and I recommend also trying Mythical Detective Loki: Ragnarok, look it up.

Maybe i will make a list soon for recommendations...
