I just finished (and loved) Code Geass and Full Metal Alchemist. Other anime I've really liked in the past are Death Note, Fruits Basket, Naruto (shut up; it's a cool show when it's not a filler), the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (God, I can't wait for the second season), and I had an on-off thing with Inuyasha for a while.

Anime I hate are Elfen Lied (storyless blood-and-gore bullcrap), Azumanga Daioh (nothing ever happens; two fifteen-minute segments in one episode are horrible), Yu Yu Hakusho (It started off REALLY good, then quickly turned into ****), Saiyonara Zetsubo Sensei (it makes no sense and the flashy stuff gives me a migraine), DragonBall Z (sorry, it got old after the 721st battle cry) and Shakugan No Shana (I just could not get into that at all).

I only watch dubbed anime, so. . .

Yu Yu began awesome. Something truly special.

Then it very rapidly devolved into mindless fighting and swearing with corny lines and cornier characters.

Try:

-Seirei no Moribito (Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit)

-Monster (not dubbed, but simply epic.)

-Juuni Kokuki (Twelve Kingdoms)

-Planetes

-Mushishi

-Last Exile

-Detroit Metal City (not dubbed, but it's really short. It's a Metal-culture-parody anime, hilarious stuff.)

As for comedy anime: I didn't much like Azumanga Daioh either. Check out Minami-ke and Ichigo Mashimaro; both are awesome imo.

why only watch dubbed anime? alot of dubbed anime are censroed and edited. reading subtitle is just a small inconvenience to get the full experience.

Anyways I recommend One Piece. If you can watch it subbed it would be great because imo it's the best manga/anime in history (sales and ratings support this) But the english dub by 4kids is a parody of it that's how bad the dub is.

Don't miss out on this great series.

Bible Black is for the most part an abomination and can get beyond ****ed up...but I'll say that it does have some redeeming qualities. The artworks great and the story is passable,at least.

Try some Evangelion, Armitage 3 (Cyber Punk Anime) , Rerouni Kenshin, Love Hina, Cowboy Bebop, Claymore, Black Lagoon (Violent, but good).

Thats all I can think of.

Didn't like Yu Yu Hakusho?

Why? Did Toguro freaked you out with his godly, hideous muscles?

well, pretty much it is guns + amazing. Really it is deeper than that, but it is one of the best anime I have ever seen. However, the first 3 episodes or so are crap, its starts a little slow

i was reluctant to watch subbed anime as well but the benefit of being able to see unedited episodes as well as be further ahead in the story far outwieghs the inconvenience of reading subtitles and hearing japanese voices.

It just kills me when I'm watching dubbed but in my mind I know that the subbed anime is much farther ahead.

It really depends if you can overcome the language barrier. Personally idc what language it's in as long as I can understand it. since language is all relative.

That is a crime and you must see it and when you finish you must compare the two.

And yeah, GameSpot does that to me all the time. I hate it.

Well since you only watch dubbed I can only recommend Samurai X, you enjoy shonen, so you should like it. And just for the record, the second season of Haruhi is airing already, new ep. should be out on the 18th.

I just finished (and loved) Code Geass and Full Metal Alchemist. Other anime I've really liked in the past are Death Note, Fruits Basket, Naruto (shut up; it's a cool show when it's not a filler), the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (God, I can't wait for the second season), and I had an on-off thing with Inuyasha for a while.

Anime I hate are Elfen Lied (storyless blood-and-gore bullcrap), Azumanga Daioh (nothing ever happens; two fifteen-minute segments in one episode are horrible), Yu Yu Hakusho (It started off REALLY good, then quickly turned into ****), Saiyonara Zetsubo Sensei (it makes no sense and the flashy stuff gives me a migraine), DragonBall Z (sorry, it got old after the 721st battle cry) and Shakugan No Shana (I just could not get into that at all).

I only watch dubbed anime, so. . .

You seem to have similar taste to mine. I love code geass and FMA and hated Elfen Lied and have the same thoughts about yuyu and DBZ. Great taste!!!

Aww come on man dragon ball Z is an awesome show. :( Well, try neon genesis evangelion. I just started watching that and it's cool. I'm pretty sure there's a dub too, not sure if it's good or not cause I watch with english subs. Hitman reborn is apparently good as well.

If you love or hate Yugioh, you should watch Yugioh: The Abridged Series" on youtube

It doesn't really feel like an anime anymore, but it is extremely funny.

I'd say watch Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Baccano!, but they're all the standard for all that I say to people to watch if they haven't. I'd reccommend going to myanimelist.net and searching up titles on there.

RahXephon is my favourite, though Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist, Excel Saga, Claymore and Chrome Shelled Regios (still airing) are amongst my favourites. I'm also following Pandora Hearts and 07-Ghost and they seem to be pretty good, but its not far into them yet.

Hellsing Ultimate.

Hellsing(Not nearly as good as the one above, but still worth mentioning)

I always advise everyone to watch those. If you like gore, you'll be pretty happy, since Alucard pretty much butchers everything he fights. He doesn't just fight them, he lets them think they're winning, and then when they're trying to stomp him down, he regenerates, and just straight up ruins their ****.

Lucky Star, duh. Lucky Star is awesome. Do not be dissin Lucky Star.

Watch Mushishi or Mononoke.

They're both the same sort of concept, but Mushishi is more straightforward than Mononoke.

Utawarerumono-good anime with a name I would never be able to pronounce. Most of it is based in a fantasy(people have animal ears) feudal Japan setting.

Linkto official description

Pumpkin Scissors- Anime following a post war recovery military group trying to fix the country. Though for a Peace core they get into allot of fights.

Linkto trailer video.

Kurokami the animation- is an on going(is being released in eng dub at same time as original *** airing :)) anime revolving around Tera guardians and their human partners who try to maintain the balance of the world. One warning is make sure to watch after the credits for hidden video.

Link- To bandai(people who dubbed code Geass) youtube page that has the full episodes dubbed for free(legal!!!!).

Also the Hellsing anime and especialyovas( not all the ova are dubbed yet) are great vampire anime. The OVA are much better than the anime(diverges from source material half way through), but the anime is still worth seeing.

link- to trailer of start of ova(not even done being released in US or even Japan).
