Thanks xenn and Doff, they seem like some interesting animes.

AnimeNFO says Love Love only has 8 episodes, so was it still shown on TV (is this number of episodes unusual?)?

I would also recommend Koi Kaze (like xenn said), but in my opinion it's not that similar to KGNE - I just liked it loads Smile

Thank you so much blue_scarlet and Bardack. Um...maybe I am misunderstood. I don't actually like action animes that much.. I used to like action animes when I was like 8-12 yrs. old.. lately I couldn't come to like any contemporary action animes. e.g. Hunter X Hunter, Outlaw Stars, Flame of Recca, Inuyasha, or even Rurouni Kenshin (Reminiscence OVA is an exception) I still like old action animes I've seen when I was young..maybe it's nostalgia thing. Currently my taste is onto romance.. so let me try only 1st DVD of Get Backers first. If I don't like it then I won't continue on. ( I don't download animes coz I'm scared of virus.)

Thank you very much anyway..

I've seen Cowboy Bebop and I think it was kinda cool but defienetly not what I had expected. So I agree with Freddy. Borrow the first episodes or something so you don't waste your money on something you won't see anyway. But if you like things with no real story and no character development... go ahead

No i don't agree with you guys, cowboy bebop is something you definitely have to watch. Sometimes you don't need a story to have a good anime imo.

I'm somewhere in the middle with Cowboy Bepop and it already ranks as one of my favourite anime series. The characters are great, the "flow" of the show is great, the comic parts are great and the best of all - the music is EXCELLENT. Cowboy Bepop's soundtracks are the best of all anime and this is an unbeatable fact.

Besides watching Cowboy Bepop I currently watch "light" pointless comedy series like School Rumble. I also watched Girls Bravo (season 1) and Dears while they aired and they were more or less okay but I wouldn't waste a lot of time on DearS - IMO it was only interesting while it was like 1 ep/week.

So, could I get any recommendations for comedy series, preferably.. Ecchi! series.

PS: Green Green = death. The people who created it should jump off a cliff :/

If you're a fan of comedy/ecchi then you've probably already seen it, but I must recomend one of my favorites: Golden Boy.

anyone seen BECK?

i have downloaded the first 2 episodes and intend to until the end even though people say it's crap but i just wanted to know anyone enjoyed or hated this.

i love music animes and this looks like one so far even though i haven't seen it just flicked through it).

i hope this betters Black Heaven.

Its a lot different than Black Heaven. Not nearly as openly comedic and a lot more realistic, it targets a hopeful youth rather than a regretful adult.

I've seen the first episode, have the second waiting on my hard drive, but I've really enjoyed it so far.

Is there any anime in this world where evil side actually win and main "good" characters are slaughtered to death? Besides Berserk? If not I would like to see something with deep plot, with philosophical, psichological and inteleactual details.

Romance (/ecchi/comedy) recommendations ^_^

@ Vicious (ecchi/romance): Mahoromatic, Hand Maid May, Happy Lesson (not so much ecchi, but recommend anyway), Photon, Onegai series, Tenchi Muyo OVA, Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito, DearS, Video Girl Ai
@ Savage Monkey (romance): Same here, but not Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito (ending is quite depressing), Aa, Megami-Sama, Da Capo, Karekano, Memories Off (hen series though ^^ but I liked), Narue no Sekai, Crest of the Stars (maybe), Vandread, Gravitation

@ Xenn (cosmo stuff): Kiddy Grade, Outlaw Star, Nadesico, Crest of the Stars, Z.O.E. 2167 Idolo, Vandread

@ ahp: About comedy, imo all ecchi/romance are comedy as well. What is so bad in Green Green? You like ecchi, but not extreme? Or not slapstick? Tenchi Muyo OVA, Photon, maybe... And Yami to Boushi...

Anyone knows good parody stuff or/with black humor (is it nice definition? similar to Quentin Tarantino films) with cute drawings? Like Nadesico, Galaxy Angel (I like these so much)

The best parody I recall seeing is the hentai Sex Demon Queen...it's funny as Hell,the erotic part means tentacle and stuff...not as in La bLue Girl and some lesbian action...in rest...FUNNNY/PARRODY stuff.

I'm planning to watch a mecha serie but I don't know which one is better, neon genesis or rahxephon? I think those two are the best from what i've read. Can someone help me?

**Posted:** Mon Oct 25, 2004 6:12 pm

Hehe....

I'd say watch Evangelion...that one's better after my own little opinion.Plus that I've seen it 7 times...

@Micho: Thanks for those recommendations, lots of new names there for me. I'm slightly worried about watching ones like "Da Capo" - it sounds like it's really "unreal", with magic etc. How much do these things affect the love stories...hmmm... maybe I should just close my mouth and give new things a chance, I'm probably being too picky.

Rahxephon, in my opinion, is probably the better of the two. Great animation, excellent plot, and well-rounded characters. But then again, I haven't seen Evangelion.. Embarassed

Ready to go for hentai if it's funny ^_^
I have one hentai only (it's even not in database) and it's a parody stuff - Ninja Girl Karakuri (?..)
Not bad, I liked it ^_^ Though don't know if this's as good as Sex Demon Queen... I'll try to find ^_^

Bardack, you can't see romance in Vandread?.. what is romance? I think it's about love stuff and this kind of relations. Couldn't see that? Though it's not guiding line here...
Don't like romance? Guess you like only serious stuff... Serious dramas maybe...
You could say so.

@Micho:
I'm a romantic man instead but I like romance only when it is done properly (according to my standards). My favorite anime is Maison Ikkoku (my sign right now) and apart from being very funny, it is romance.
Vandread can be romantic for kids. This is my opinion of course.
Serious dramas... I like very much REALLY FUNNY anime instead. And dramas about love tend to piss me off (like Saikano) so I don't watch them.

The fact is that I found the anime romances I began to watch boring and sometimes annoying.
Well, if you could suggest me a good romance where characters are preferably not too young (but it is not a must) and that is pretty cheerful (I don't like depressing love stories) but not as pointless as Vandread or Nadesico, I'd be grateful.

For example I'm watching Onegai Teacher now. Despite some episodes are definitely boring (and i skipped them) I found 3 of them very heart-warming. Something like that I'd like to watch.
And I also watched Boys be and I liked it. Midori no Hibi too.

Arr... you're w/o anime list...
well, don't blame me if I mention something you have
Aa, Megami-Sama
Chobits
Gravitation (great anime, great music)
I wonder about Happy Lesson, it's funny but maybe you'll find it stupid... dunno
KareKano (definetely, great)
Mahoromatic (may be boring sometimes with all these mecha, but not bad overall)
And my favourite, Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito. It's funny, heartwarming but depressing... if you don't give it up to 7 ep... ^^ risky
That's all 'non-kiddy' stuff I've seen. I have some anime unwatched in my collection, but if I find it worth, I'll post here.

Cross request for you (besides Maison Ikkoku) ?

**Posted:** Thu Oct 28, 2004 1:44 pm

Bardack (#52583)

Thank you, I'll check the titles you suggested me.
I've seen Aa, Megami-Sama and KareKano (funny and the characters DO something).
The others are new to me.

Besides maison ikkoku, onegai teacher, boys be, midori no hibi and the 2 above that you remembered me I don't have any romance to suggest (i've just checked my anime list I have on a file).
You can find an important love story in Ayashi No Ceres but it is also a fighting anime.
In fact my favorite genre is fighting/action/superpowers and very funny/silly. I already recommmended here the best funny animes I know and if you like fighting animes I can suggest you something but i have the sensation it is not your genre.

??? how can I see the reviews that other people do and their anime list without entering the reviews of a particular anime?
