suggested anime to watch

Postby Tenshi no Ai » Sun Oct 09, 2005 9:25 am

Like I said in the other thread, I think it would be great just to make ONE topic where people can suggest good animes for people that are looking for new ones to watch... Hmmm thought there was a sticky of somethign similar before but I can be wrong. But yeah maybe have this stickied to help those out?

And I like the idea of the manga/anime review threads where they number off how many times the anime/mange review has been requested, so think I'll do the same expect show the number that's suggested, to help the person pick what they wanna watch!

...hope this goes well, so I'll keep updated on this first page, so go ahead and suggest (as you probably did for a few threads) what anime people might enjoy that you did, maybe say a bit why, and maybe a little "for lovers of the ___anime, you would also enjoy this!" I'll make 2 sections too: one for fansub only, and one for actual licensed series (to make it easier on some too).

So yeah... hope this "thread to end all suggesting threads" work out! I'd add in my own but dont' have tiem so I'll do it later^^

Ok,well first I would like to start with my all time favorite Silent Mobius.I like it because it's the one that got me really hooked on anime.If you like a good sci fi
series that has elements of horror and humor and also strong female characters
this might be the show for you.
Also if you are a fan of Kelly Sheridan you should add this to your list of must watch
animes.
Speaking of Kelly Sheridan other animes with her in the dub include:
Escaflowne
The Soultaker
Inuyasha
