INTRODUCTION & GLOSSARY

Welcome to [The Anime List]

Here you will find a large library of titles, series, and links to anime information databases. I have personally watched each and every title listed here, and while some are more popular than others, I recommend them all. The reason for this is that anime is not typically categorized into any single genre; most are a mix of two or more and allow a viewer the option of being able to branch into the other existing genre, without a great deal of difficulty or annoyance. Although a particular series may focus on one genre as it's foundation, the mixture of types allow a continuous stream of originality and creativity that will always bring a new look, feel, and texture, years and decades down the line.

Currently there are 100+ titles here and although some are obviously more popular than others, the rest will be descent-mediocre. My goal is not to give you the links and names of the best damn anime you will ever see. Since everyone has their own opinion, I have merely supplied what I consider, descent anime of every genre so that it will give you the starting point and direction for where you wish to go.

The second post in this thread should supply the basic genre names and descriptions for each title, along with the color scheme key, allowing you to know what color represents what exactly. Every title should show a list of two or more [Categories] and although the genre names will be listed, so should a couple of details as well. Hopefully this will make finding what interests you, a fairly easy task. Be sure to follow the links to each database and read the summaries carefully. Although they can include what you may be looking for, the aspects you enjoy may only appear in very minimal quantities.

The third post should be [The Anime List]. I have seen and come across thousands of titles. Here, I have merely named off a couple hundred and it was through a specific process. I went through a previous list far larger than this one and whittled down what I believe is a good starting point.

When [The Anime List] has been completed, any posts afterwards would be a good area to list any particular series of interest. I am sure no one is looking for another huge thread, so try to keep in minimal with only the ones you feel are truly worthy of acknowledgement.

Also, if you happen to enjoy the anime, I would certainly suggest checking out the manga as well. Although a series may have ended on television, it's career could very well be ongoing in the manga.

HENTAI will never be shown here or on the forums.

I agree. Spice and Wolf, Vandread, and I could name 100's of others but I don't have the patience. You should watch all of them.

There are plenty out there that should not be watched. I have a bothersome and unhealthy obsession for anime, but there are some series that should just be burned, stomped on, burned again, and then bagged and thrown into the deepest parts of the oceans never to be seen or witnessed again.

Bleach is really starting to disappoint me. The newest filler was ok, but to fucking span it over 10 episodes AFTER muramasa was killed was just a horrible idea. I'm currently waiting for the Espada part to return because i can't take the fillers.

There is no way they would do that, they've gone into the Espada way to far to just skip it. It would leave the fans hanging in the wind and wondering. Many would lose interest and just stop watching it all together. Whoever told you this please slap them.

There is no way they would do that, they've gone into the Espada way to far to just skip it. It would leave the fans hanging in the wind and wondering. Many would lose interest and just stop watching it all together. Whoever told you this please slap them.

I second that darker than black and fairytale both be added. Though Fairy Tale isn't really that good of an anime it's better in manga... :/

Actually, I plan to update with links soon, but considering this is not a thread that showcases every single series in existence, the expansion of the list itself will be fairly minimal.

It's suggested that people check out the other threads to find the most current series to date along with the most popular and upcomming.

Considering that a lot of crap or hash duplicates have been airing lately, it's not much of a surprise that I in fact plan to avoid listing them as unique representatives of a particular genre.

It's a graphic dramatic series and not everyone's cup of tea, but if you haven't quite come across that particular style, it's certainly not a bad choice.

The series itself was cancled a number of years back, but from what I last saw, it's still one of the most popular and largest ongoing manga titles in Japan.

I haven't read any of it myself, but if you like this anime, I would definitely suggest checking out the manga.

I would, but the issue with that is the editing of another user's posts. It doesn't matter how crystal clear guidelines are written, people still end up making duplicates, giving away spoilers, etc.

Plus, there are simply too many examples of poor quality reviews for me to even want to go through the effort.

EDIT: Screw making the streaming links. Easier to just post a list of some streaming sites.

Yeah, it did have a bit of a cliffhanger there and I think some of it is answered in the manga. It's a shame, but often producers to try to cram an entire manga(ongoing or not) into a set number of episodes instead of giving it proper room to breathe.

Hmm, similar to Gantz? It's a bit difficult since I don't particularily care for many dramatic series myself; just not really to my liking. I'm geared more towards fast paced action, comedy, ecchi, or slice of life genre categories.

I thought the Golgo 13 the movie was alright and the anime series is ok, but they don't have very many episodes subbed the last I checked. I think there are only maybe half of them complete and the subbers aren't really investing much time in finishing the project. I don't, it's been about a year since I last check though, so who knows.

******

I would probably suggest Black Lagoon, Deathnote, and Gungrave. All of them have a fairly dramatic setting throughout the entire series with action, and are in my opinion, overall just good titles.

It's difficult to choose a duplicate, but hopefully I covered certain aspects. Personally, I wasn't a big fan of either Hellsing or Devil May Cry, so I don't really keep an eye on similar series, sorry.

Maybe someone else has better suggestions, but do check those 3 out when you can.

Nice list.
I recommend Ao No Exorcist a.k.a. Blue Exorcist.
For people who wants to know what it is about:
It involves of a person, named Okumura Rin, who was thought to be "human" but is actually the son of Satan, the king of the demons. The adopted father of Rin, who is an Exorcist named Fujimoto, knows about this heritage and decided to adopt him and train him, as well as sealing the "Blue Flames of Satan" into a Demon Sword.
I wont spoil too much off it coz theres a really big plot twist straight at the start... its a recent new manga.
Manga has 25 chapters consisting of around 30-50 pages and 8 episodes.
Its action, mystery, horror-ish?

And I also recommend Air Gear.
For people who wants to know whats it about:
A person name Minami Itsuki or "Ikki", was named the "East Side Gunz, Babyface" as his nickname of his school gang. Stormriders who are people who uses Air Techs bet on there Emblem and turf and reach the top of a tower to become the "Sky King". Ikki made a new goal and decides to become a Stormrider and made up his own group called Kogarasumaru. There are also Kings of the Eight Roads. Currently in Kogarasumaru, there are 3 kings in their team.
Thats enough for spoiling..
Chapters comes out every week and are upto 319. The episodes stopped on 25 for some reason.
Type are action, sport, ecchi, school-life and comedy

Those aren't exactly spoilers, simply plot summaries lol, so it's alright to share those. Difficult to get people interested if they don't even know what the series is about.

If you want to avoid "spoilers", try to refrain from discussing things like plot or character development episodes down the line, or revealing a boss or enemy that has had it's identity hidden, or new powers, weapons, etc..

Anyways, Imma add both of them to the list.

Ao No Exorcist a.k.a. Blue Exorcist is a bit new, but it's an interesting idea and not too bad of a watch for now.

Air Gear, although I didn't care for the anime too much, the manga is going strong and is supposedly much better. If you find the anime good, definitely check out the manga.

Essential Retro Anime

Ashita no Joe

Must see fighting anime. Defines the genre. About a down on his luck man, taking up boxing. It's not upbeat, it's sad, it's real.

Future Boy Conan

A boy; Conan, is born in a world filled with oceans. He meets a girl who gets kidnapped, and begins his unforgettable journey to save her.

The Rose of Versailles

About a girl who is raised as a man to become her father's successor. One of my favorites.

The Super Dimension Fortress Macross

"The breakthrough mecha show that combined giant robots that transformed into jet planes with a pop music soundtrack to create a compelling, wildly popular series."

Barefoot Gen

Depicts the struggle of the Japanese during the "last hour" during WWII through the eyes of the young boy, Gen.

Fist of the North Star

"Muscle-bound men who talk too much, tons of fighting, massive muscle-bound men the size of houses, and of course Ken's famous "atatata" attack that makes even E. Honda's One Hundred Handslap cry with jealousy."

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

WHOOP WHOOP NATURE

Angel's Egg

Just watch this. Just do it. You won't regret it.

Bubblegum Crisis

It's kind of like cyberpunk Sailor Moon. Kind of.

Akira

My favorite anime movie of all time. I don't give a fuck if you think the ending doesn't make sense. This is the kind of thing anime movies need to take more inspiration from. Cyberpunk at it's best. (at least for anime)

Legend of Galactic Heroes

SPACE SPACE SPACE politics SPACE SPACE SPACE

Nadia: Secret of Blue Water

delicious ganguro (im sorry im kidding not really)

but really, great story filled with fantasy and intrigue.

Brother Dear Brother

Mean Girls the anime.

Here is Greenwood

A girl at an all boys school! Dressed up as a boy! What more do you want?

Only Yesterday

Memories flood back to a mature business woman as she goes on her summer break. Beautiful.

Detective Conan

I'm only posting this here because it's long as fuck, so if you want to waste a year watching an anime, this is it. It's not bad either.

I'll add in anything as it comes up, for now, here it is.

Elleon

I tend to avoid the epics since pretty much everyone knows them if they watch any anime.

I agree with Akira since...well you don't really go wrong with a cult classic & landmark film. It's my favorite as well. If anyone disagrees with this, you should be castrated, tarred and feathered, then hung upside down by your toes in the town square to be stoned by the peasants.

However the thing with Detective Conan is well...don't try to watch all of the episodes. Don't get me wrong, I like the show. I have always been a huge fan of detective/mystery but lets be honest... The series has 704 episodes at this point in time, approximately 680 of them are fillers. Go through a bit of it if you want, but after the 100th or so, just check out the Detective Conan Wikipedia and just follow the episodes list for Black Organization & Kaito Kid. Everything else is..well just more of the same or has no significance when concerning the plot of the series.

Nausicaa is a good choice but then again, pretty much anything produced by Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli is gold. Spirited Away, Grave of the fireflies, Princess Monokoke, Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo, Arrietty, From Up on Poppy Hill, Porco Rosso, etc..

He is a bit of an ass but the guy knows how to make a good film.

Yo. So I started watching anime back a year ago from pure boredom and here's some stuff I really enjoyed.

Ping Pong The Animation (http://myanimelist.net/anime/22135/Ping_Pong_The_Animation)
God tier. Not about shitty romance/harem junk that uses episodes for filler with dem generic beach bikini episodes. This show has nothing to do with ping pong and more to do with the development of a vast array of stellar characters. If you're a fan of watching characters grow with you without a huge over-arching story, this is for you. The art style is goofy but it will grow on you.


Katanagatari (http://myanimelist.net/anime/6594/Katanagatari)
Great action anime with a bit of a plot. There is a bit of romance in it but not much at all. The two MCs are great and it has a great storyline but the ending was ok. I loved the art style and the action. The main character's "power" was cool.

D-Frag! (http://myanimelist.net/anime/20031/D-Frag%21)
Cute romance/comedy/harem. The MC is fucking hilarious because of the absurd situations he gets in. Not nearly as pervy as other dumb animes.

Trigun (http://myanimelist.net/anime/6/Trigun)
The Big O (http://myanimelist.net/anime/567/The_Big_O)
Cowboy Bebop (http://myanimelist.net/anime/1/Cowboy_Bebop)
Samurai Champloo (http://myanimelist.net/anime/205/Samurai_Champloo)

Classics that are good, not gonna go indepth with them. They're all actiony. If you like a good storyline/characters, Trigun. If you like characters and action, Cowboy Bebop. If you like the inbetwen, Big O (which has a very odd ending with a lot of ~SYMBOLISM~). Samurai Champloo is a guilty pleasure action anime.

Neon Genesis Evangelion (http://myanimelist.net/anime/30/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion)
It's amazing, but you should watch the movies too.

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei (http://myanimelist.net/anime/20541/Mikakunin_de_Shinkoukei)
Cute romance/comedy. I liked it but it's hit/miss with a lot of people.

Clannad (http://myanimelist.net/anime/2167/Clannad)
Don't watch this. Romance/Drama. You will cry.




This season:

Nobunaga Concerto (http://myanimelist.net/anime/24135/Nobunaga_Concerto)
I haven't watched the 2 latest episodes but it's really good. Comedy with some historical context.
