Anime suggestions?

Question

My friend and I have seen a good handful of anime (Bleach, Inuyasha, Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fushigi Yuugi, Sailor Moon, Elfen Lied, Chrono Crusade, Samurai 7, Samurai Champloo, and Gantz). We want to check out some other good anime's, so anyone have any suggestions?

As for anime movies, I've forgotten to mention, I've seen Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and although I wouldn't consider this a Japanese Anime, I have seen Avatar: The Last Airebender.

Another side note I've forgotten, and a rather important one. I'm interested in action anime. I have seen some shojo anime's, but only 'cuz they were funny.

Answer 1

Wow you have seen alot, but not as much as me, i love Bleach and Elfen Lied, if you like those then try some of these.
Hunter x Hunter (I love this anime its awsome, its about a boy named Gon, who takes the hunter exam to become a hunter to find his dad, its all about him and his friends and their trials, his friends are Killua, Kurapica, and Leorio. They all have special powers. Killua is an assassin, Kurapica is from a clan that was wiped out and is hunting them down, and Leorio is a doctor even though he doesnt look like one.)
Trigun
Eureka Seven (this is a mecha anime, its really good, although youtube jumps around with this anime. Its about a world that has trapar, its particles in teh air that allows humans to surf in teh air with special boards and the mechas are called LFOs)
Escaflowne (This is about a girl who gets transported to another world, and its also a mecha anime except the mechs are more medival, swords are the main weapon)
Gundam Seed(Dont need to explain Gundam, everyone knows what it is)
Gundam Wing
Gundam Seed Destiny
One Piece (Pirates, who doesnt love Pirates, its about Luffy a rubberman who ate the gumgum fruit, which is a cursed/devil fruit and he wants to become king of the pirates)
Full Metal Panic (This is the best anime in the world, thats what i think, once you watch one episode you get hooked and cant stop watching it. Its a mecha anime, teh mech is called ArmSlave, AS for short and its about a anti-terroist group called Mithril and its set sometime after the coldwar. The Whispered are people who have have things whispered to them, such as math eqations and AS facts, and know the secrets of the Black Technology, which can create a weapon that makes Nukes seem like toys, its called the Lambda Driver, anything the pilot concentrates on in an AS with the Lambda Driver will apear, such as a shield or a powerful blast of force, the pilot needs a lot of concentration and the system as of now in the anime is faulty and can break down. Kaname Chidori (age 16) is a Whispered and Mithril sends a soldier to gaurd her, and taht soldier is Sousuke Sagara, he pilots the Arbalest, an As with the Lambda Driver, Mithril's only AS with the Lambda Driver. Sousuke has to be a highschool student to proctect Kaname, so parts..err a lot of the anime is about them in school and thats the comdey part.)
Full Metal Panic Fumoffu(if u like comedy)
Full Metal Panic The Second Raid (Sousuke is forced to stop protecting Kananme, what wil happen? I have watched it on youtube, just before it got banned and it was good, but only 13 eps)
The Twelve Kingdoms (This supprising had no romance, but lots of action.)
Scryed (This is awsome, its about people with the power called Alter and the power is gained when children are born on the upheavel of land called the lost ground, its about a man named Kazuma who fights a group called Holy.)
GunGrave
Mahoromatic (Its about a battle android that has little time to live about a year and she spends her time being the maid of a boy)
Hellsing (this is a good anime, its about vampires, i no its oldm but this anime takes an old idea and makes it new, its about a family of vampire hunters called Hellsing and their per Vampire Alucard, which is Dracula spelled backwatds, he is the hellsings perfected creation, the true nosferatu, i think hes unkillable.)

Hmm, youve watched Sailormoon so i think you might like Fruits baskets, the manga is much better tahn the anime though, since the anime ends about 1/3 into the manga and it jumps around the manga a bit. Its about a family called the Sohmas, the select few of the family transform into their Zodiac animal counterparts when tehy are under alot of stress or hugged by the opposite sex, they are called the Juunishi, theres 13 of them inculing the cat. the main characters are Tohru Honda, Yuki Sohma (Rat), Kyo Sohma(cat), some minor characters are Hanajima, Uo, Shigure Sohma(dog), Hatori Sohma(dragon...err...seahorse), Ayame Sohma(snake), Hatseharu (Haru) Sohma(Ox), Izuzu (Rin) Sohma(horse), Kisa Sohma (Tiger), Hiiro Sohma(sheep/ram), Momji Sohma(bunny/rabbit), Kureno Sohma(Rooster), Ritsu Sohma(Monkey).
Theres more, contact me if you want to see more info on more anime, i got a really really long list, with a lot of details about them.

Answer 5

Witch Hunter Robin

Answer 6

If you like Fushigi Yugi, try Ceres: Celestial Legend. Its by the same Manga-ka. You might also like Witch Hunter Robin.

Answer 7

I don't see any Cowboy Bebop down on your list, you should check it out, it was great series, and they ended it before it got old.

Roroni Kenshin and Samurai X are wonderful, I loved the series.

Movies, anything by Studio Ghibli is worth trying.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is a very in-depth anime that you may enjoy. Or, if you want something more fluffy, try Fruits Basket. I love them both, along with FMA, but you've alreasy seen it.
