ANIME.. Anyone?

[olive00]

I've never been a fan of the anime genre. Moreover, I treated him as lightly as possible, believing that these "cartoons" are designed exclusively for children, maximum adolescence. Oh gods, I've never been so wrong. Once I decided to watch Death Note. I was interested in the description and rating. And what's the difference that it is 2006 - it's never too late to discover masterpieces for yourself. So I thought and launched the first episode ... Death Note is a story about what can happen if such a magical artifact is in the hands of a genius, sociopath and psychopath with a God complex. Agree, the idea is very interesting and unusual! From this series my love for anime began.

I see most of you have more love for the classics than the current breed. I'm very slowly re-watching Hunter x Hunter 1999 and even though a lot of it is non-canon compared to the 2011 version, there something about the older art that makes it scarier. e.g. this scene of Kurapika training to the end at 1 min 15 sec :

I'd much sooner watch classic Looney Tunes than any of this import stuff.

It reminds me of the X/1999 movie from 1996.

It had a great atmosphere and sounded better in the Japanese track on DVD than the English version

X is one I haven't watched in ages. I usually only watch anime movies once and the only part I remember from X was it's brutal ending. I liked the TV series (alternate retelling) more and it's OST is amazing.

Not usually a shounen anime person, but Jujutsu Kaisen really surprised me in a good way. My big surprise of this season is Shadows House. If you like gothic horror I can definitely recommend.

The newer anime is not as good, IMHO. I miss the golden days of 90's anime.

But at least in the USA, isn't like 99% of the stuff out there aimed at kids and young adults, like early 20s max? I feel that manga is where most of the stuff for more mature audiences are to be found.

Usually there are a few shows a season that I think work for older audiences. But there is lots of repetitive stuff too. Similar to Hollywood's love of sequels. For example, I'm sure we are all waiting expectantly for yet another high school harem comedy this season.

Oh wait... Osamake: Romcom Where The Childhood Friend Won't Lose

Naoki Urasawa's Monster is one of the best stories I've seen for an anime. The 74 episodes just fly through. Highly recommended

Reading through all posts and noticed the omission of Monster up until this point. Definitely deserves to be on the list, and I feel could work as a mainstream live action show.

Fan of many posted but Berserk, Monster and Cowboy Bebop top the list. Yasuke on Netflix is pretty good, maybe a Samurai Champloo meets Tron!?

For movies Princess Mononoke hasn't budged from the top of my list since its release.
