any good anime

hi guys im new to watching anime well i guess i'am new, the only one i have watched was DBZ so im just looking for some other good shows like it, i want one with a good story and strong stand out chars so any recomends would be great thanks

If you something down to Earth, realistic, and not typical DBZ~ish and fantasy aka Shonen-type. Try Bakuman.

no guys it dont have to be like DBZ im just saying that was the only one iv watched so far im wanting something with some action and a good story and i know i might be an idiot for askin this but what is a filler

Hellsing Ultimate, if you can handle violence then you will thank me.

EDIT: And the current big shonnen series are simular to DBZ(One Piece, Fairy Tail, Naruto, Bleach)

Just beware:

A: Don't watch the 4Kids version of OP. DON'T!!!

B: Bleach has good fights and a few great arcs, but the plot goes downhill fast. The manga gets stupid, very very stupid after the Soul Society arc. And the anime is known for its ********* horrible filler arcs. Go in expecting the Michele Bay of manga.

Though i prefer you read the manga of Fairy Tail.FMAB_GTO

With any Anime that's based on a Manga, the Manga is always better in story-telling and overall closure when it ends. I like Bakuman's Anime because it took the Manga's series created by the fictional Mangakas in the story and fleshed them out with Audio cues. It's interesting to see. Though the Manga's story pacing is/was better.

Other than that, I always prefer Manga.

Pokemon and Yugioh were ones that used to be good, but over time all the good ideas ran out and they became stale.Toph_Girl250

Those two were never really good nor are they suitable for adults to watch without cringing, IMO. The Animes are mostly targeted at kids even in Japan. They're a Marketing device to expose the games to the general public's awareness and/or target market.

Yeah I see what you mean, if you ask me, Pokemon is basically Japan's own version of SpongeBob, sure, they may not share any similarities whatsoever, but the way both of those shows get milked and continue on for so long with so many new episodes with a lot featuring villains like Team Rocket and Plankton I find to be similar.

Atleast Spongebob's humor is great for all. Especially the first few seasons. CHOOOOOOOOOCLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

There are plenty of people who enjoy watching Yugioh and Pokemon despite being adults. Hell, Yugioh is advertised towards the same age group in Japan as Bakuman.
