Evangelion not that good, your not missing much tbh.

Yeah Im more a fan of the Battlemech genre's (eg. 08th MS Team) and much less so "Super Mech" series (eg. G Gundam). I did bridge the gap with Zone of the Enders though. And Evangelion just seemed like a supermech thing to me always.

Zone of the Enders is brilliant. It could bridge most gaps;);););)

Huh no problems. Yeah defo check out Full Metal Panic, just go for the subs as the dubbed version is woeful! You can have a lend of Gungrave also (if you haven't watched it already), but Herr Young still hasn't finished watching it yet :pac:

I'll agree with you on Ninja Scroll. How can you not be a big fan. I get upset because people are always dumping on Urisokidoji......:(:(:(:(

Not necessarily saying it was a bad series, but after watching the series and then reading some of the manga, the manga was MUCH better i thought. It was alot darker and more interesting which they left out alot of the better or more interesting set pieces in the series that happened in the manga. I think people felt a little disapoinnted by the series. Welcome to boards btw

fitz0

1-Samurai X (So much better than Rurouni Kenshin)
2-FLCL
3-Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
4-Darker than Black
5-Vision of Escaflowne
6-Twelve Kingdoms
7-Dennou Coil
8-Grappler Baki
9-RahXephon
10-Eureka Seven

Didnt include movies, they could take up a list of their own

Roxy.Randrome

Thanks for the welcome, Michael Cravez. I'd would have to agree with you, parts of the Rosario+Vampire anime can be quite dissappointing compared to the manga but well I still like it! lol I think its just because I like the Manga so much!

Sailor moon(I grew up watching it ok?!)
Samurai Champloo

4 Elfen Lied
5 FMA

eUGo oBServer

I watched sailor moon too when i was propably 7, but its impossible to watch it now man) no offence =P

Ishmael

Arithon

Not in any particular order:

- The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi
- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
- Azumanga Daioh
- Full Metal Panic! (all of them)
- Hikaru no Go (a marathon but worth it)
- Spirited Away

Full Metal Alchemist would almost make it here, except it became painful to watch the train wreck when they diverged from the manga story line.
