Ok so here's the deal. I was over at my friends house not long ago and when i arrived, they were watching this Anime called Bleach. So i thought "hey maybe i should try out an Anime series". Only problem is, i have no idea what's good and what isn't! So can anyone suggest a good series to me? (excluding Bleach cos i'd rather it be in english)
Full Metal Panic! Great Teacher Onizuka Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei Watch it in japanese with subtitles though, english anime is way behind the subbed stuff and it tends to loose alot of emotion when dubbed.

What are you looking for? Here what I own Gantz Azumanga Daioh Air Gear Fruit's Basket Elfen Lied Texhnolyze Neon Genesis Evangelion Noir RahXephon X Wish Cowboy Bebop Fushigi Yuugi Escaflowne Witch Hunter Robin Samurai Champloo Serial Experiment Lain Haibane Renmei Paranioa Agent Otogizoushi Ghost In The Shell : Stand Alone Complex Wolf's Rain So pick from any of them and enjoy :)
I haven't watched much anime but I thought these were good, Cowboy Bebop Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex Death Note Fullmetal Alchemist Code Geass
Cowboy Bebop is the one and only answer to this query. Like already mentioned, it is very Western-centric and has amazing English voice-acting... which can be very good at easing people into the styIe.
That and its just plainly the best there is. Spike's the man and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
If you can handle some graphic content, Elfen Lied is a fantastic series. Other suggestions.... Samurai 7, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and Samurai Champloo.
If you're set on English dubs then I recommend The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Fullmetal Alchemist, Full Metal Panic!, Full Metal Panic FUMOFFU!, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Azumanga Daioh. Those are the best English dubs I've heard.

Is fullmetal alchemist over yet ?? I think so. The original series ran til around 2004, but they're making a new one which I'm sure is either an OVA or just milking the series. I still have to watch all of it myself, but it's a choice of waiting for the box set or paying 20 quid a pop for each DVD. Season 1 Part 1 (ugh, I hate how they sell anime over here) is out but I dunno when Part 2 is.
If you like Bleach, then you'll like Yu Yu Hakusho since Bleach copies a lot from it. Yu Yu Hakusho is far superior to Bleach though and one of 3 anime that I still like. It's actually my favorite.
Trust me on this one. If your watching Anime, watch it in Japanese with English subtitles. English dub is bad...Deadly_Fatalis
Yeah. Unless you're patient enough to wait for a bunch of good new series to get dubbed, you'll be missing out on some really good shows. Even then, a lot probably won't even end up getting dubbed.
It'll take some getting used to, but some of the best anime out there is usually fan-subbed.
i actualy never understood how fans of anime who dont speak a word of japanese prefer hearing japanese voice overs, hell if it wasnt for anime being in english i probably would have never liked it lol, Shenmue game probably wouldnt have had as much of a huge impact on me if i played the japanese version rather than north american version

I agree with you to an extent. but there are some dubs that are so godawful, it's unwatchable. Lucky Star for example. All the voices sound monotone and lifeless.

Not every anime series gets dubbed, and a lot of dubs sound terrible and just don't fit the show. If you want to keep up with all of the new series coming out, you have to settle with fan-subs, and it takes some getting used to, but it's worth it.

They're making a live action movie adaptation of Cowboy Bebop with Keanu Reeves as Spike :lol: I wonder if they'll stick with the 'fro? :lol:

I don't know why people always bag on Reeves' acting. Sure, he is a little stiff and doesn't play the dramatic part well at all, but for most of his roles he's fine. I mean he's an action star for the most part; he doesn't need Oscar-worthy talent for that.
