Azumanga isn't for everyone. I find people ever love it or hate it.

check out "Index", thats a pretty good anime.
If by Index you mean To Aru Majutsu no Index I will also recommend it. And also the spin off series, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun.

Just checked out a few anime series:

Full Metal Panic!

Verdict: It's pretty good, kinda mixes all sorts of different genres. Very interesting overall.

Outlaw Star:

Verdict: Nice!

Trigun:

Verdict: Sweet!

Cowboy Bebop:

Verdict: WHERE THE HELL WAS I WHEN THIS CAME OUT!?

Don't do it. Go for Manwha instead. Priest is the best graphic novel you'll ever read.

Saiyuki is another good anime as well.

Mhh many good ones have already been mentionned but there is not yet one of my personnal favorite : Kino no Tabi ^_^

The story is basically that of a girl travelling from regions to regions in an imaginary land. Each regions has its own set of rules that are often absurd and surrealist. And the girl ride on a talking moto who love to philosophize on things . That's about it XD

I don't think everyone will like it as it's rather special. There is very little action, it's mostly contemplative but it's damn beautiful. I really love it and recommend it ! Wink

This anime is coming out very soon! It looks promising, and creepy~



I should have said this before, but the name of the anime IS "Another Anime"

I don't know if it has been mentioned already, but I personally recommend "Soul Eater"

Its easily my fave anime, though DBZ would come a close second.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is possibly the best anime OVA ever made. I'm not even going to try to describe it myself because someone has already done it better than I ever could here is just one of the opening paragraphs.

"LotGH is like the anime equivalent of Michael Mann's Heat when it comes to the two protagonists of Reinhard Lohenngram and Yang Wen-li. They are not in each other’s faces with conflict; they are at a distance yet always on each other's minds. Human civilisation as their chess board. They are not protagonist and antagonist. They are figureheads who are almost comrades in their strong resolves to end a terrible war. They are like magnets drawing fate towards them by their personalities alone; then they back it all up with action and propel humanity into a new century."

The rest is below, I highly recommend you read it if the paragraph above caught your interest (or even better ignore the review and just start downloading the show!)

Spoiler:

Other things I would recommend but in a less verbose manner are Aura Battler Dunbine, Armoured Trooper VOTOMS, The Universal Century gundam metaseries (culminating with Turn A which is imo the best), Space Battleship Yamato, Space Pirate Captain Harlock: Arcadia of my Youth, the list goes on but I should stop somewhere.

EDIT: While I may not have paid enough attention to realise this thread has actually died and been brought back to life (because reading is hard it seems) my point still stands!

Folks, I'm rather disappointed in all of you, NO ONE mentioned the granddaddy of them all:

The Original: Mobile Suit Gundam
and it's sequels:
Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ
Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack

Or one of the best Super Robot series out there: GUNBUSTER

Or the best in old-school cool: The Big O

Other series to note:
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Essential to any collection
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - The 2nd Gig - Essential to any collection
The Irresponsible Captain Tylor - gotta see it to believe it
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - Perfect
FREEDOM - a good show ('nuff said)
Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 - superhero/horror (Don't watch this with the lights off...)
Argento Soma - psychological drama

Some of the newer stuff is good too...
Solty Rei - starts out light, ends on an serious note
Heat Guy J - works the buddy cop show in a new direction
Dai-Guard - the most plausible usage of a giant robot
GUN X SWORD - Deserts... Giant Robots...
Starship Operators - The most realistic depictions of deep space combat EVER
Last Exile - A must see high-flying adventure

Original or remake? Personally, although it's incomplete, I prefer the original.

Sorry about that, I missed your last post. You're right, Space Battleship Yamato is older than Mobile Suit Gundam, but I was talking about the granddaddy of Real Robot anime. Actually, that brings up an interesting question: Which does everyone prefer? Real Robot, or Super Robot anime? An example of Super Robot anime would be something like Getter Robo, Mazinger Z, or the more recent GUN X SWORD or Gravion. Real Robot anime would be the original Gundam, Martian Successor Nadesico, or the more recent Full Metal Panic! or Gasaraki. And let's not forget Space Opera, like Space Battleship Yamato, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, or Robotech.

Real robot and super robot are terms invented by Banpresto for SRW and you should feel bad for using them to describe the shows, trying to define shows in such narrow terms is iffy because FMP could easily count as "super robot" depending on your criteria.

But that chart is bad because it doesn't take into account order of viewing, many shows there would be harder to watch without seeing other shows on that list (and it contains Evangelion but that's opinions) and some of the shows on there are just not special compared to ones not on it, if it was made by /m/ that would make sense...considering that /m/ don't actually know anything about gundam any more so their word should be taken with a small truck load of salt (though Turn A is the best gundam)

Also it sources MAHQ which is a site that has a translation of Zodiac as Z'od-iacok.

This is just personal preference, but I REALLY hate shows that end incomplete, or have a major downer/mind screw ending. So Escaflowne, Evangalion, and the earlier Bubblegum Crisis shows are right out. (I've seen them, and was not impressed) The shows I love to watch are ones with fairly close to realistic technology (Real Robot) or the logical outgrowths of existing technology (Ghost in the Shell: SAC). Personally I cannot stand fantasy. Too many cop-outs without logical explanations, and too much willing suspension of disbelief. I can believe in Mechanized Infantry utilizing giant robots far more easily than I can believe in the use of uncanny powers. But that's just me. Your mileage may vary. Some super robot shows can be very entertaining, but only if they inject a tone of seriousness, or totally play the "Super Robot" angle straight, shouted attacks and all. One other disappointing thing about some shows is that they move really well (good pacing, good plotting/story-line) and then go all screwy in the last or second to last episode(s). It just leaves you with a bad taste in the mouth, and this feeling of: "Well, there's 12 hours of my life I'm not getting back." (I'm looking at YOU RahXephon...)

I'm not going to talk about realistic technology when it comes to giant robot cartoons.
