Can Anyone Recommend A New Anime?

I haven't watched Anime in a couple of years - however, a few of my favorites are:

Cowboy Bebop (Which I would recommend to literally everybody)
Gundam 0080 (All time favorite of all the Gundam stories, makes me teary eyed!)
Gundam 0083
Death Note
Evangelion
Gurren Lagann
Full Metal Alchemist


Also, if you liked Kenshin - have you seen the Samurai X movie/ova/thing haha? It is what lead me to Kenshin.

X2 on Full Metal Alchemist, my favorite anime of all time. I like the really dark twisted stuff :)

Absolutely Samurai Champloo.

If you want a horror mystery (really morbid, but very good also), watch Higurashi no naku koro ni. In English, its something like "when the cicadas sing" or "cry".

both are a "mini series"

To add on to Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, if you want a 'mature' feel (No ecchi, just more developed drawings) Umineko no Naku Koro ni is basically an alternative setting. Although, HnNK's storyline was better. Oh and HnNK's basically a trilogy.

Seems people have given you quite a bit of good stuff as far as series go so I'll recommend some movies I've watched and enjoyed(some more than others but all worth watching if you're into anime imo):

Ninja Scroll
Princesss Mononoke
Spirited Away
Ghost in the Shell
AKIRA

OP, we differ bigtime on Vampire Hunter D. I did not enjoy that one at all. That said, anybody who likes Rurouni Kenshin must have some taste. :) As someone else said earlier, the Kenshin OAV/OVA/whtever those are called are really good. They're done in a different art style than the main series, and with a more serious, darker tone, and I think it works very well.

As others have mentioned, you really can't go wrong with Cowboy Bebop, though I wouldn't say it's "recommended for everyone," as it's really pretty bloody in places, and therefore not exactly kid-appropriate.

If you're just looking for something silly and fun, Ranma 1/2 is always good for a laugh.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is something you'll either love or hate. If you can't put up with an EXTREMELY whiny teenage main character, don't bother, but if you can, there's a pretty good story in there. Again, too bloody to be kid-appropriate, so if you've got children, don't watch it with them.

If you're up for something so sugary cute that it should be annoying, but somehow manages not to be, Ah My Goddess is pretty entertaining. That's about all I have to contribute to the thread at this time - it's been quite a while since I watched anime on a regular basis. If I think of more later, I'll let you know.

wrong question for me to answer.....ghost in the shell, cowboy bebop, kekiashi?, love hina, deathnote, bleach, full mteal alchemist!,....ill add more later once they come to me

I've seen all the OVAs for Kenshin. I also know there's a live action movie coming out soon. The trailer looks amazing so I hope it gets to the states soon.

I've seen some of Ranma 1/2. I'd love to watch it more but I can only find it on youtube it bootleg quality. Netflix mostly sucks in the Anime department. I am not about to $40 or more just for one season either.

I did see some of Evangelion. I just got lost.

I recently watched a bit of Blue Gender. I have no idea WTH is going on but I've been told to keep watching as it will all make sense.

Cowboy Bebop I saw a long time ago. It felt like Firefly x Alien. I thought it was too short though.

I tried to watch Initial D as someone suggested. Just not my thing.

I just remembered some older stuff I forgot about that I liked.

Tank Police and anything with Ako, Bko, or Cko in the title. It was usually Ako vs Bko: Bla bla bla." Funny as crap!

Also, Lensman and I think it was called 8man.

Claymore
Samurai 7
Samurai Champloo
cowboy beebop
Trinity Blood
Ergo Proxy
Blood +
Hell Girl
Black Lagoon
Corps prinsess
Berserk
The last Exile
Baccano (*Loved it*)
Speed Grapher (*Awesome*)
Basilisk
D. grey-man
Chobits
Elfen Lied
Gankutsuou (*Beautiful*)


I can keep going for ever but I suspect you may not care for all I watch.- not too many people seem to like yaoi! :P

Ah...more

Wolfs Rain
Hellsing (Wish they'd write more!)
Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Getbackers
Kuro:cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:suji (Ummm It won't let me type that one's name but also know as Black Butler)
xxxholic
Soul Eater

I really can go on and on. If you run out find me again. I've watched everything I've stumbled upon- good or bad.
