Favorite Anime or Manga

[Siku]

I used to be into anime and manga a lot more when I was younger than I am now so my list is a bit dated and mostly Shonen.


My favorites shows/manga are :
DBZ (Enjoyed the Bebi Saga of GT as well) And it's "Saiya-jin" not "Saiyan". Thanks Funimation and Ocean Dubs.
Naruto
Bleach (Soul Society Arc plz)
Attack On Titan
Sword Art Online
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
Samurai X/Rurouni Kenshin
Fate series
Stein's;Gate

Movies :
Sword of the Stranger
Princess Mononoke
Ninja Scroll
Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle
Ghost in the Shell (the original only)
Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Your name./Kimi no Na wa.

Fairy Tail and One Piece I've mostly only read the manga. Never too keen on the humor that One Piece and the original Dragonball convey. Just not my type is all lol. To each their own.

Crunchyroll or Funimation subscription?
I feel like watching some anime again. Anyone have an opinion on a good streaming service?

... I mean Besides Netflix

I'm sure you're probably aware of these sites but just incase, I occasionally use these :

Anime Twist (No ads)
4anime
KissAnime

Personally, I usually torrent or download fansubs and stream them to my TV since I'm a high bitrate video and audiophile lol.

Thanks, I used to use this one website... but looks like they shut down...
Or maybe my memory is just crap, lol. It's been a while since I wanted to watch anime.
I hadn't considered torrent.

Hunter × Hunter and Last Hero Inuyashiki, those are my favorites. Looking through the topic, I don't think these were mentioned yet.
I liked the first two Digimon seasons too.
But I watched a lot more though. :3

 

[ardour]

Only started watching anime in the last couple of years, mostly old-school 80-90s, along with some Ghibli films that weren't really my cup of tea. Many older movies have been uploaded to youtube.

Vampire Hunter D 2000
Devilman (first two)
Demon City Shinjuku
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
Ninja Scroll
Berzerk (not the remake)
Cyber City Oedo (really enjoyed this)
Akira
Gundam (first two movies)

I tend to go back and forth from different genres and I just got back in the mood to watch some anime and start sketching again. Looking for something new, any suggestions?

My favorites are:

Movies
Spirited Away
Howls Moving Castle
Metropolis
One Piece Movies

Shows
One Piece
Death Note
Trigun
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Ouran HSC
Bleach
Full Metal Alchemist
Clannad (did not expect to like this one)

Your favorites didn't include "Mob Psycho 100", so I will assume you haven't watched any of it. Also, "Attack On Titan."

I've been watching anime and reading manga for at least the past 25 years, so my lists of favorites are rather large, and some series go back to the 1970s. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible:

Anime Series
Future Boy Conan
Urusei Yatsura (The 1980s series)
Dirty Pair (Again, the 1980s series)
Maison Ikkoku

But, perhaps my favorite bit of Japanese media of all time is something called Daicon IV Opening Animation. It only runs for 5 minutes and 48 seconds, but it's amazing.

 

[yohannbiimu]

if anyone has any good recommendations of anime for me based on what i said i dont really care for, please let me know. i really lean towards sci-fi anime as opposed to like martial/ninja/whatever else you want to call it anime.

Mob Psycho 100 is exceptionally good, IMO. It deals with characters with psychic powers, and the animation is amazing. Look it up. My personal favorite anime of all time is something that runs 5 minutes and 48 seconds, called Daicon IV Opening Animation. It was put together by a few college students for a Sci-Fi convention in Osaka in 1983, many of whom would become giants in the Anime industry (particularly Hideaki Anno). You can find it on Youtube.

Parasyte
Hell Girl

I got into My Hero Academia for a couple of seasons, but I guess I lost interest in it. The same can be said for most Shonen anime series for me, like Full Metal Alchemist. I watch them for a while, and then I just lose interest in the characters. I read some of Tokyo Ghoul, and I didn't find much in it that interested me. I haven't watched or read any of Sword Art Online, Parasyte, or Hell Girl.

At the moment, I'm not getting into any titles I'm unfamiliar with. I'm reading Yotsuba (a long-running manga by the same author as Azumanga Daioh). It's cute and funny, and now I like that sort of stuff. I'm also reading Pop Team Epic, which is absurd and a bit ridiculous, but it's funny to me. I've also discovered a manga from the 70s and 80s called Tokimeki Tonight that's interesting. It's sort of a romantic comedy where a girl from a family of monsters has fallen for a "normal boy," but I have the feeling he's not as normal as he seems to be.

And of course, One Punch Man, One Piece, Dr. Stone, Berserk, and Spy x Family are still running. I also haven't read all of Azumi, which is a drama set in 17th-century Japan, and the only way I can read it is when the chapters are translated and released online, and for some reason, it's taking a long time. BTW, do you have lists of favorites posted anywhere?

P.S. I've put links with most of the titles on my lists to either openings, trailers, or pages explaining some of the manga titles. You might find some of them interesting.

I'm pretty much interested in Seinen animes, I'm not a fan of too much fan-service-y stuff, and prefer genres that are fairly gritty and grounded (or 'edgy' lol)

The first anime that got me hooked was Attack on Titan in 2013 (10 years ago now, crikey!)

I really have a special place in my heart for Tokyo Ghoul too, the mangaka's art style really inspired me to try drawing.

Right now I'm really into Chainsaw Man (as you can guess, I'm very mainstream lol)

I am open to any suggestions on what to see

Mob Psycho 100 gets "gritty" at times, but probably not as much as the other titles you like. That said, it is VERY mainstream, and the animation alone is fascinating. Also, this is one of the rare cases where the anime is better than the manga. One is a genius-level storyteller, but also a crappy artist.
