Meh , I seriously wonder what should I add for Part II
Well , here's a roughly made list
Action / Gore :
1. Hellsing
Hmm...I guess I'm resorting to cheap tactics now :P Either way , Hellsing is definitely action-packed and filled with bad-as* characters. Though it does get a bit disgusting at times to be honest...I feel queasy at some of the scenes. Note that there are also two versions of Hellsing.
Ecchi :
2. Kanokon
I don't watch much Ecchi Animes but Kanokon have to be one of the most Ecchi Animes I had ever seen....well , if you exclude Ladies vs Butlers , Omamori Himari and several other Animes that I might add into the list in the future :P
Sports
3. Slam Dunk
I know I'm moving a bit too far away from the more "recent" Anime list that I want to make but I have no other choice :P Other than Slam Dunk , I was pretty much bored off by other sports Anime...Well , I guess I still have several Sports Anime up my sleeves for the next listing. Either way , Slam Dunk , despite it's age , have excellent artwork and the limbs of the characters move in an extremely realistic manner. There are also comedic sequences at times as well.
Moe
4. Shakugan no Shana
Once again , I tried to resist the temptation of adding K-ON! into the list and ended up doing a lame decision. Well , it's not ENTIRELY untrue , however. Go across the web , find the comments on Shana from Shakugan no Shana and you'd very oftenly find the words "cute" along with it from the viewers. Her Tsunderi personality , her stature , her jealous reactions at times and her voice...it's too much for an average human to take in XD ( Don't worry , I'll try to refrain from making lousy decisions in the future :P )
Action
5. Needless
Speaking of bad as* characters , Needless have one heckuva a bad as* main character. Frowning while smiling at the same time must be tough. ( Pun intended ) Well , just watch it , it's pretty interesting to a certain extent. Either way , the heroes are supposedly to be rebels...well , their something like that anyway.
School
6. School Rumble
Ever annoyed by the fact that some Animes were labelled under the School Genre and it turned out to be something else? Sure , the main characters are students but in the end , all we had seen are fighting , fighting and more fighting. Hell. Well , School Rumble , one of the few Animes out there , does actually focus on the School theme. Might not neccessarily appeal to all , however.
Video - Game
7. Tears to Tiara
Another excellent Video-Game based Anime. Tears to Tiara have an interesting plotline which is loosely influenced by mythology , legends and the Athurian Pendragon Saga. Oh yeah , the artwork was great , too.
Go Octavia go!! XD ( She's one of my favourite Tears to Tiara character )
Comedy
8. Baka to Test
All hail stupidity , nose-bleeds , hilarious fan-service sequences and a perv character who tries to take shots under the skirt once in a while ( and a male character who looks dangerously close to being a female ). Baka to Test is definitely at the height of stupidity and comedy , the jokes can turn out to be either lame or make you laugh your mouth off , thus , a must watch.
Sorry to burst your bubble , that's a guy. XD Well , he does have a twin sister , however , so I suppose you can keep hoping? :twisted:
Suspense / Mystery
9. Chaos Head
The first 2/3 of Chaos Head was actually really good , the atmosphere , the questions you would gain in mind and the mystery of the shadowy parts of the storyline would practically make you burst. However...for the remaining 1/3...well , let's just say it had turned into a typical Action Anime :(
Mecha
10. Full Metal Panic
Just some random Animated pic I found XD Either way , if you rid of obvious choices such as the Gundam saga , this is one of the few choices you would end up with. A cold military bred teenage soldier + a typical Tsundere = Amusing results XD The Mecha design and battles were pretty cool as well , though of course , nothing beats the space stimulative combat of Gundam eh?
