I'm also not a huge anime fan, so my interests in the genre are pretty selective. The anime shows that I tend to enjoy are ones that usually aren't ongoing stories, and wrap up their narrative lines within a season or two. That said, I absolutely loved Hellsing and Hellsing: Ultimate (which is a sort of "reimagining" of the original series, if I recall correctly). They've got some of the most entertaining action scenes I've seen. The CastleVania series on Netflix is also pretty fun, though it starts to get pretty weird in the later seasons (though I'm feeling hopeful for the new CastleVania series that they just teased). I've also recently enjoyed Chainsaw Man, and am pretty excited for the next season to come out.
I also highly recommend Redline. It's not a series, but a standalone film, and it's one of my favorite movies ever. If you're at all familiar with the F-ZERO games, think of that, but as an anime.
Thanks for the suggestions, haven't heard of redline or Hellsing much . I'll see what these are about
No one mentioning Neon Genesis Evangelion, itβs only the greatest anime of all time.
Can you be a bit more specific please? I heard a lot of contradictory opinions on it, although to be fair perhaps I'm mixing them up with other Evangelion releases. Basically I get "this is the best thing ever, just because so", or " yeah it seems promising first but then gets weird and meh". Judging from who's saying what ( irl ) I think I'd be inclined to be on the "meh" band, but if you want to clarify I'm all ears/eyes
My favorites are Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate 0, From the New World and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Both have excellent stories.
For what they are:
- Steins;Gate: Watch humans losting in time travels.
- Steins;Gate: AI with time travels...
- From the New World: A world of supermans and weak creatures.
- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Horror of Japan culture from old times.
HNNKN is great!
Bungou stray dogs. I suck at sales pitches, but I consider it one of the best anime out there.
The boondocks has been a pleasure so far.
