Strongly recommend 91 Days, Baccano and Black Lagoon.

If you like the tone of baccano ACCA is similar in it's smooth, somewhat jazzy atmosphere. I think ACCA is generally more reserved in tone, however. The protagonist and side characters are quieter and exude potential cunning, whereas Baccano's cast is more bombastic and memorable, I think.

I've heard some flak thrown at 91 days, but I don't remember what exactly. Why did you enjoy the show?

It has an engaging, realistic story with interesting and likable characters, no shitty anime cliches, and a great dub. It's my favorite of the three I listed.

I've been anime free since December. My brother and I watched both seasons of Index plus the movie, 91 Days, and then Cross Ange.

That was a journey.

I came back a different man from that. We're considering ACCA for the next time he comes by on leave.

Lain was interesting, kinda slow/'chill' and might not make sense the first time. I need to get on with this season...

I watched Gurren Lagann

Flee should attempt to watch Cross Ange.

It'll really change him at his core.

no

i've been watching a lot of anime since january

you people are fucking tasteless shitheads

---

Dragon Ball - I had to stop at episode 28. Hated all the characters except for Goku himself, and Yamcha to an extent. Its relentlessly perverted sense of humor started to grate on my brain after awhile. If it could go a single episode without making a dumb sex joke involving Bulma's breasts, maybe the show would've been more tolerable--especially when it's clear that it's meant for babies. I'm surprised I made it as far as I did, to be honest. 5/10

Astro Boy - Stopped at episode 3. An interesting piece of Japanese animation history that warrants little more than a respectful glance today. 5/10

Akira - Mostly boring and kinda dumb. The aesthetic was nice, though. 5/10

Perfect Blue - I only watched this because there's a shot-for-shot homage to it in one of my favorite films, Requiem for a Dream. Unfortunately, it wasn't anywhere near as interesting as that movie. I found myself bored and wanting it to end about 10 or 20 minutes in, and though I plowed through it, I wasn't at all rewarded for my patience. 4/10

Ghost in the Shell - Complete waste of time. I have so much I could say about this stupid-ass movie and how much it pissed me off, but it's more than I care to fit in this three-sentence blurb. I'd probably just end up pissing other people off anyway. Point is, I hated it, and this is a shining example of why anime is such a godawful medium. 2/10

My Neighbor Totoro - Boring and safe, like every Miyazaki movie. 5/10

Spirited Away - 5/10

Princess Mononoke - 4/10

Ponyo - 3/10

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Stopped at episode 3. What can I say about it? It's terrible. I think even most anime fans would agree. 2/10

Princess Jellyfish - Stopped at episode 3. Don't have much to say about it. 3/10

Spice & Wolf - Stopped at episode 6. Everything about this show annoyed me, except for the premise. It had its moments, but they were heavily overshadowed by stereotypical dumb anime bullshit. 4/10

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - I actually finished this series. Like a trainwreck, it was just difficult to look away. I don't think I need to go into my thoughts on this show, because my thoughts on it have been on record for ages. Simply put, it is the perfect amalgam of everything I detest about not only anime--not only Japan--but the human race and life itself. It truly has it all. The good news is, I will likely never see a more vomit-inducing show for the rest of my life, and that's honestly quite comforting to know. 1/10

Kill La Kill - Stopped at episode 2. 1/10

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt - Finished. 1/10

Inuyasha - Stopped at episode 5. Dragon Ball for girls. 4/10

Pokémon - I watched this throughout my childhood, and I've revisited it several times, so I'm heavily biased in its favor. Though bad, the characters are all pretty great, and the dialogue is wonderful as long as you don't take everything too seriously. It has some of the best humor of any Japanese show I've ever watched. Probably my favorite anime, and most likely always will be. 5/10


Currently slogging through and alternating between the big four, just to get them out of the way.
