What Anime's to watch and ...

Im really boggled about what Anime to watch next, i heard that maid sama show is stupid but fun to watch so i might watch that. 
I mess being overwhelmed with good Anime releases left and right.
 
it would have sucked badly if Ryuk actually looked like this, this was the first concept for him:



 


Ooba:

Like the "human-looking Ryuk" you mentioned before?

Obata: Yes. But in Death Note, shinigami are only minor characters watching from the sidelines, so it was better for them to not be human-looking or good-looking. And I never would've gone in that direction myself, so I believe the results turned out for the best. (Source)

 
 Looks like Beyond Birthday and Mello got together and gave birth to that. scary. i can already imagine the Yaoi fan girls shitting bricks everytime someone gets that thing together with Light or L. this artwork calls for this video:

@lavaman77: That's hilarious.  Anime Vice is so dead....and so sad at the sametime.  I remember Fallen189 made a topic on GB, and the same topic was on Anime Vice...the GB topic got 10x the viewers and replies in about 30 minutes.

The sad thing is that it's true.  Since Gia and John are gone, it's even more dead now.

Gurren Lagann is my favorite show, it is pure GAR and robot awesome. Also Code Geass is my second favorite, it is Death Note with robots. Hmm, Darker Than Black is pretty good. Bacano, is about mobsters with powers. Ummmm.... I'm sure more knowledgeable people will help. (Or be asses and quote Jeff)

@lavaman77:  arakawa under the bridge is hilarious the first episode isnt really funny but the show gets  funnier  with every episode. there arent many new titles at least not any serious ones that are worth watching. i think you can still get tokyo majin from kesenai.net its a couple of years old but not very many people have seen it. its a very good action oriented anime, great character designs and superb fighting animation. or check out animeseason.com and browse the anime there its a free streaming site

I remember watching the first episode of Darker Than Black and i remember liking it , i am going to definitely check it out. i've heard a LOT of things about Code Geass but it's the first time i've heard someone compare it to Death Note, im now interested in it more since i LOVE mind games/detective Anime's a lot even though they're rare to find.

Yeah but i heard it lost it's tracks half-away through the show so i put it under a low priority. i think  i will check it out since i haven't seen a good comedy Anime that made me laugh yet.

I only recently have gotten into anime. I've been watching One Piece and I love it. It can be ridiculous and dragged out a lot, but the story and unique characters keep me coming back.

The only problem with the new Fullmetal Alchemist is that it can't tell whether it wants to be a comedy or some serious action show.

It does give off the impression of being the weakest out of the Whiskey Media line-up. I would love for them to be able to hire more people or something and get a lot more content out there though.

Yeah, it is. There's maybe 10 active users there from what I can see, but it really seems to be dying out with the staff leaving and such. Whiskey should really do something about the site, because something is wrong if people are using Giant Bomb for anime instead of the anime website.

You should check out Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z Hen, a 2009 Mazinger Z update series.  It's bat-shit insane.  In the first episode, more crazy crap happens than in the entirety of most series.  It calms down a little as the story unfolds, but it is still always running in 5th gear and on steroids.  It has a great look to it that pays homage to the 1970's 'toon, but cleaned up for a modern audience.  The ending is memorable, too.  That's all I'll say on that, though.
 
Also, if you haven't caught Soul Eater, yet, I strongly suggest that one, too.  It's about a school for shinigami/angels of death run by the Grim Reaper.  The series is an action adventure that's very tightly written and moves at a strong pace.  Also, there is a unique art style to the character and background's design somewhat reminiscent of FCLC.

@masterpaperlink:   Well, my post only mentions the ending of Shin Mazinger, not Soul Eater.  Having said that, though, I didn't mind the end of Soul Eater.  I think it felt rushed at the end, though and that's a bit of a let down but these things happen from time to time in anime.  That doesn't mean that the journey is any less enjoyable.  I remember when I watched Gash Bell for 140 episodes then discovered that the show was canceled and all plot points had to wrapped up in 10 episodes.  It happened so suddenly, the production team couldn't even get the same voice actor of the main character for the remaining 10 shows.   But, I still liked what I experienced getting there and would recommend it to anyone who likes action-comedies.  A good journey can alleviate the failings of the finale.

I pretty much say this in all the anime suggestion threads... Anything by Bones (and that includes Soul Eater).... Just avoid the Tree planet one and theone with the dude that throws words about as weapons. 
 
Soul Eater 
Ouran 
Eureka Seven 
Darker than Black  1,2 & Gaiden
Nijuu Mensou no Musume 
Xam'd 
Wolf's Rain 
 
Watch Heroman with caution...unless you like spotting animated Stan Lee cameos.

I agree, I've been visiting there and you open up a topic on vice you will maybe get one person to talk to about it. it's really sad when you can only get a little reaction about anime at Giant bomb.

yup (oh don't worry i didn't think you said soul eater had a good ending), it was another rushed bones ending which left a bad impression on me, it was so rushed i thought it was a joke at the time. Now when i think about it thats all i remember (even though the first half of the series was pretty good.)

I've only watched one animé series, and it was a rather short one called Elfen Lied. I recommend it if you like violence.

Haha same here, the show would be ruined for straight guys with this guy running around shirtless probably making sex jokes along the way. Mello was VERY feminine but finally after getting his scar you can tell that he is a guy without glaring for 10 secs wondering if it's a trap or not.
