Most weebs probably default to not recommending anything like Grave of the Fireflies, mostly because of how much of a downer they are.
ill have you know i prefer moody shit over KAWAII SUGOI upbeat shows to feed my moody moods

looking at my list, of the 10 shows that ive given the highest score (when i bothered to score) all are on the moodier side
By moody you mean something with special atmosphere? Maybe something weird but not unwanted... something that makes you thinking? Anyway, your top 10?
Yeah you could say a special atmosphere, thats one of my favorite traits of any media. Also upon a short review its more like 5 anime not counting 3 Evangelions <.<

Kyoukai no Kanata, Eureka Seven, Ga-Rei: Zero, Elfen Lied and Metropolis. Character centric tragedy stuff lol.
I stopped scoring because i wasnt confident in them, like some of the 9's could be 10 but aiunno really.

Elfin lied isn't even good though it's just a mindless grimdark edgefest.

I see. I am about to watch Eureka Seven after Texhnolyze, I need time to watch them though. Have you heard about Serial Experiments Lain?
Yeah its one of the 9's. Was completely enamored during it.

Is it just me or is there a very angry bee buzzing about hating anime?
No, I noticed it too. Hilarious, isn`t it?

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

1st season is good, 2nd season is not, probably 2nd season exists to use success of first one as usual.

still doing this btw

isn't it funny how most anime can only be enjoyed by people who already enjoy anime

people say films like GitS are good, but nobody who doesn't already enjoy anime enjoys GitS

isn't that peculiar

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

I've shown people GitS whose only anime experience was DBZ and Naruto when they were 10. They liked it.

Some anime is too anime though, I can agree to that.

I disagree with that generalization, but it's probably because anime and Japanese culture aren't westernized and relateable, so jumping in on a what is effectively an arthouse character piece wrought with eastern cultural implications and criticism tends to be off-putting and yields ignorant interpretations. Kind of like the first time a suburban white guy listens to underground hip hop or gangster rap and thinks it's garbage; introduction to the culture via shonen or more western anime may help a viewer understand the meaning of other aspects of Japanese media.

Are you going to watch the other parts of Dragon Ball as well? It's the only anime I've actually watched nearly in full. Downside is that it's quite lengthy and most of the good stuff doesn't take place at the start. Z's Saiyan arc (the one you watched) is meh, with Frieza's and Cell's being much better. Super also doesn't start off that great with a lot of filler, but the Future arc and especially the Universe Tournament one are again pretty great after the filler. Also, there's the one that cuts out a lot of filler and bs (Kai?) of the original Z episodes while cleaning up the graphics a bit too.

It's a bit of shame. There's a lot of stuff that's pretty forgettable and meh to watch (I initially only watched it while traveling or really bored), but now we're at the good parts I actually follow the new episodes every week. Too bad there's no good way to watch or review it. You either have to watch around 100 episodes or cut parts out and miss the backstory and all that.
i'm the kind of guy who has to watch everything in sequential order no matter what

and watching hundreds of episodes of a show i already know i dislike just to make it to the "good parts" seems kinda senseless, to say the least—my ideal show is short, sweet, and without a single lull or lapse in quality

however, dragon ball has the benefit of being culturally significant, which gives me more of a reason to continue watching it

so we'll see about that, i guess

Just knocking some stuff off the 1995 list.

I don't have much to say about any of this shit. It's mostly just random garbage. A lot of anime fans admit that 90% of their medium isn't worth watching, and I think these sort of shows are what they're talking about.

Romeo and the Black Brothers (Nippon Animation, 1995, one episode) A World Masterpiece Theater adaptation of a German children's story called The Black Brothers and the only somewhat serviceable show on this list, although I could only watch a single episode before dropping it. Anime adaptations of anything feel like such a waste of time when I could just be enjoying the original thing instead. 5/10

Zenki (Studio Deen, 1995, one episode) 2/10

Ninku (Studio Perriot, 1995, three episodes) 3/10

The Brave of Gold Goldran (Sunrise, 1995, one episode) 1/10

Gulliver Boy (Toei, 1995, one episode) 2/10

Slayers (E.G. Films, 1995, one episode) 3/10

Ping-Pong Club (Grouper Productions, two episodes) 4/10

You're Under Arrest (Studio Deen, 1995, two episodes) 1/10

Bio Hunter (Madhouse, 1995, finished) 1/10

Shadow Skill (Zero-G Room, 1995, first OVA) 2/10

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Why are old anime so bad about spoiling just about the entire next episode in their post-credits previews?

That studio is one of the few ones that can actually handle CGi anime well.
