General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

Since I'm curious in some of your tastes...everyone's favorite anime, go go go.

It seems like now I don't get into anime anymore, instead sticking to the older stuff, because everything I try ends up being really depressing and gory when I'm not expecting it.

Favorite of all time is The Big O. Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Tenchi Muyo!, Tenchi in Tokyo, and Tenchi Universe are pretty high up there as well. I hate the new Tenchi series, though. The first three series just had occasional fan service but that's all the new Tenchi series is about, and Tenchi is barely even in it!

Happy Lesson is a really adorable anime about a group of teachers who all want to be a student's mother since he's an orphan.

Satoshi Kon made some really neat stuff when he was alive, but he was a bit too fond of sexual content. Paranoia Agent is the only series he did but he has a fair amount of movies. Tokyo Godfathers is a must see. Paprika is also sort of like a mature version of Alice in Wonderland.

I really should look at my anime shelf... I know there's more.

Oh, I got into Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt because of the zany art style. The story is really immature and yet I still kept watching. The Black Rock Shooter OVA was so amazing but the series got so dark! That took me by surprise since the OVA was nowhere near that violent and cruel.

Oh! Oh! Is This a Zombie? Is a lot of fun! You should check that one out.

Lastly, Nyan Koi. No English dub sadly, but it's a funny harem anime about a boy who accidentally breaks a cat statue and pisses off a cat god. As a result he must do 100 good deeds for cats or turn into a cat himself! What sucks for him is that he's allergic to cats so this is no easy task!
