ANIME!

I enjoyed parts of Blood+. Ultimately I was saddened by the way it went. Same with "Highschool of the Dead". Trigun was also super cool, then got progressively less so as it went on.

Desert Punk was cool too, don't think I've seen that mentioned. FLCL is solid.

Anime always came to the United States very late, we were several years behind, several decades in some cases. What I like most about the anime formula is - it ends. We don't have 8 seasons of nonsense like we do some American shows. Most of the profound and amazing anime shows end in a certain amount of time: with the exceptions of One Piece, Dragonball Z and InuYasha.

High school of the dead would have been cool if they made more. I hated how it ended too.

I like that it ended, not how it ended. Instead of dragging it on for 9 years where only a few things happen and none of it is very interesting. I enjoy short series, because the story telling and "action" are packed into a smaller narrative that makes the story telling more important.

Highschool of the Dead just started out so strong, and became an anime about people with weird hair, over-the-top nonsense and too many anime conventions. It didnt need all of that junk, and just became that out of nowhere.

When things waver too much on their tone it just strikes me as silly. Highschool of the Dead was like a drama about surviving the apocalypse and watching everyone you love die, then a slapstick comedy about a bunch of misfits, then an 'unexpected harem' story about some dude coping, then an over the top invincible super person killing everything, and Ect. Ect.

True true I would like this comment if I could. ^,^

I don't know why people hate GT, I loved it. But FMA wasn't supposed to be a manga adaptation like brotherhood. It was essentially a kid friendlier Sunday morning cartoon with the characters and some basic plot lines from the manga.

Brotherhood was meant to be the actual animation of the manga.

From what I remember when they were making the primal anime they were passing the manga and ended up making their own story and when the manga caught up it was way different. The beginnings of the 2 are quite similar but once u get halfway through you start to notice. Then they made brotherhood because of this reason... Havnt researched anything that's just what I remember

Sounds like what they did with Hellsing. They had to go back and make Ultimate Hellsing.

Well everyones mentioned a lot of my favorites. So I'll start by listing some things from my crunchy roll account

must watch:
campione!: awesome series, gratuitous romance and shonen style action!

Hayate the combat butler: best comedy series I've seen in some time / satire

The Pet Girl of Sakurasou: hilarious, with emotional drama! amazing show!

Oreimo: gut buster, hilarious, great characters, great plot, great love? it has it all

Say "I love you": i love this show, the drama gets you on edge, but the love is just so kawaii

Oreshura: also hilarious, more drama, great characters and plot, to short i want more!

Nakaimo - My Sister is Among Them!: very silly, very romantic, but a nice new approach to the whole romance thing

Maoyu: political, army, romance, shonen. pretty good series with fun characters maybe not the first you watch, but a high priority

GJ CLUB: absolutely hilarious, hints of romance, more fun watching this than a lot of other shows, watch it if your feeling down.

Gosick: absolutely without a doubt one of my favorites, romance and surprisingly enough shonen "mystery" drama just a really really good show

HENNEKO – The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat - i hope this show gets another season, hilarious romantic ecchi comedy

Listen to Me, Girls, I’m Your Father!: hilarious plot, absolutely loved every bit of this series, short but sweet needs to be more coming out!

Little Busters!: can't believe i forgot about this one, it's another one made by the clannad/angel beats company.. definitely doesn't disappoint emotional when it needs to be, hilarious when it needs to be, amazing dialogue!

My Little Monster: all i can say is HA, great show, lots of drama, and sugar sweet moments.. and stupidity

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU: my teen romantic comedy is.... WRONG as i expected, the characters are excellent and story is well delivered



good:
A Bridge to the Starry Skies - Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi: a good clean cut romance

Myself; Yourself: emotional romantic, worth watching

Photo Kano: in a game you could go back and get each girls endings, in this show he does!

Mashiroiro Symphony: makes you go awwwww, have fun trying to figure out which girl he goes for

Love Live! School Idol Project: you know this is the only girl group show i've watched, and it was pretty fun and enjoyable, you'll love the comedy and characters just don't expect any romance.

Kotoura-San: mystery psychic romance silly comedy

Ano Natsu de Matteru / if you liked please teacher you'll love this

Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / very emotional, semi romance

Astarotte's Toy: not your typical romance but a good one.

Da Capo III: gratuitous romance, happy go lucky story, fun to watch

Ef - A Tale of Memories: emotional romance

Ef - A Tale of Melodies: sequel to tale of memories, emotional romance

okay:
amnesia: not a bad love story, convoluted plot, tiring to watch

Happiness!: it delivered the plot so well/romance

Kanokon: silly ecchi romantic comedy, but for some reason not very captivating

Fortune Arterial: not the best or worst romance i've seen, i've you've seen them all definitely come back to it

Good Luck! Ninomiya-kun: another one to come back to, it's alright, but the others are better, worth a watch, and a pretty good ending.

Demon King Daimao:  not bad not incredible, i almost put this in good category, definitely worth watching, romance and action, its just short and feels forced

Dragon Crisis: also pretty good and worth a watch, but just so short it felt forced, also romance and action, and a pretty satisfying ending

Skip Beat!: it gets better around early middle of the series, but worth a watch.. if you can get past the first few episodes... you can definitely feel its age

11eyes: generic shonen/romance

Special category and very good for what they do:

Another: very creepy ghost story, excellent characters, .poo. gets bad [in a good way]


Flowers of Evil: unless you hate feeling good about anything don't watch this, it's addictive in it's own right after you start watching, but you hate everything about it, and yourself after starting it, it will have a second season coming... gives you bad vibes...

H2O: Footprints in the Sand : you want to watch this one.. you'll hate to watch this one because it's so so  so sad, i mean it isn't but then it is.. i mean... things that happen here.... ='(  very good show and worthy of must watch... if you want to cry

Mysterious Girlfriend X: addictive for sure, but very awkward... you want to watch it, but your like hmmm? what? okay? but yeah it's a fun watch

School Days: everyone should watch this show at some point.. cute love anime right?? it's a trap!

The Severing Crime Edge: very similar to future diary, except different plot and delivery, and the romance here isn't as chaotic but the series is just as psychological thrilling

My favorite still is FMA
I've enjoyed blood +, sword art online
I have been watching attack on Titan lately
