    Great list! I love having seasoned anime veterans filter out notable anime, but sometimes diving in without knowing anything about an anime can be a fun experience too

    At first I was suprised, and maybe even a little upset that you chose the original FMA over Brotherhood, but when I heard your reasoning I totally agreed. I always count myself lucky that I saw the orginal first, because if I had seen Brotherhood first I don't think I would have been able to sit through the original.

      @manuunam23 10 лет назад +4

      i don't understand that reasoning! my reason for watching brotherhood was because the first one had major logical errors in the plot that made the anime look rushed. To me brotherhood telled a complete story with a lot more of sense. In other words, I changed the badly made fma, for the well made fma, hence I could go only go in one direction, and that is towards fma:bro. Same conclusion, different cause. Explain me yours, please

      I dont agree with it being crap, indeed the level was lower than the first part of the serie, but as you say, it's probably one of the best manga/animes ever, it deserves a place on that list, specially when there are titles like soul eater... cmon haha

      i mean death note, i can't deny it ...was good overall, but i think if they would have handled the last bit more carefully it could have been the holy grail! I guess i'll always be butthurt because of how upset the last bit of the anime made me. It went from being over the top amazing to just acceptable.

I would have loved to see Welcome To The NHK, Elfen Lied, Gurren Lagann, Eureka Seven, Ergo Proxy, or Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team on the list but we all have our own personal preferences. Really well done. Hope you don't get too much flak from the casual anime watchers screaming for Naruto, Bleach, Sword Art Online, and others.

  • @MisterFister612
    @MisterFister612 8 лет назад +117

    I think they should reboot Soul Eater like they did with FMA Brotherhood. there is a point in the manga where it branches off in a different direction than the anime. I love the Soul Eater anime but the manga had a little more going for it. the side character actually have their own plots and twists. I would recommend you read the manga starting at the war with arachne. That is where the manga and the anime split off from each other. and the things that happen are just amazing. all i can say is there are some pretty awesome changes.

    Fun Fact: The original Fullmetal Alchemist manga creator asked the creators over at Bones to make a different ending for the anime, because she believed that their ending or story would be better then her own, and wanted to develop her characters more, giving the creators freedom to make it darker and more mature. When she finished watching the anime, she praised the the creators view of the Homunculi and their back-stories and motives, saying that they were better than her own.

      ***** that too, but basically that it seemed like the main guy's intention on doing whatever he wanted to do was merely so that the weird foreshadowing animation that was in Episode 1's intro could be re-used, and not because it was in any way logical at that given point in time. Going more into detail would be spoilery, but I think you get what I mean - why the f*** was he doing what he was doing taking into consideration what he went there for? That was so stupid XD

      @gaborvaradi6105 10 лет назад

What ticked me off was the whole self-sacrifice thing, you know what I mean.

  • @JaqueraGray
    @JaqueraGray 10 лет назад +6

    Awesome, looks like I have several things to watch over the next few months now. :)
    Some of my recommendations:
    - Psycho-Pass (psychological, dystopian, cyberpunk cop show)
    - Durarara!! (urban fairy tale told in a similar manner to Baccano!)
    - Fate Zero & Unlimited Blade Works (epic about conflicting legends and philosophies)
    - Monster (basically modern(ish)-day Frankenstein, but with loads of characters each with complex motivations)
    - Mononoke (series of ghost stories where humans are the most terrifying monsters of all)

    • @JaqueraGray
      @JaqueraGray 10 лет назад

      ***** I actually hadn't watched Mushishi at that time. If I had, I'd definitely have put it on that list. However, Mononoke is another somewhat obscure, fairly similar anime - but with more of a horror bent to it. I'd recommend giving it a shot if you did like Mushishi.

And that was quite frankly one of the greatest viewing decisions that I have ever made. I finished the last episode and watched the entire series again immediately thereafter. Thank you.

    • @omurice850
      @omurice850 9 лет назад +6

      but i don't get why he wouldn't recommend Death Note, Attack On Titan and others since they are very popular plus these anime are perfect gateway anime for people who don't know anime. I mean even though I love Code Geass and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, there are fan service in those anime and for beginners I don't think these anime would change their view on what they think anime is really about.

      @DarthJoshReturns 11 лет назад +1

      My problem with the original wasn't the fact that it deviated from the manga. In fact, it had some good ideas. My problem with FMA 03 was how disappointingly the villains were defeated. SPOILER AHEAD: Bradley died from pure stupidity, Dante ran like a little bitch and got eaten offscreen, Envy got pinned to the ground for all of COS, and Eckhart got shot a few times and fell after giving the Elric brothers a big challenge. Say what you will about Father being a generic doomsday villain, but at least he put up a fight.

      @gibdopaminepls 10 лет назад +6

      Or do as he recommended and watch first the 2003 series, then Brotherhood.
      The reason is that the 2003 series goes more in-depth with the earlier arcs of Ed joining the military etc, while Brotherhood skims over that to get to the meat of the series.
      That way you won't watch "summary first, full story second", but will get the full package of the earlier arcs with the 2003 series, then when you go to Brotherhood, those will feel more like recaps of the earlier arcs and you can really get your teeth into the story of it.

    • @gibdopaminepls
      @gibdopaminepls 10 лет назад +1

      Oh, and Conqueror of Shamballa.
      If you watch the 2003 series, watch Conqueror of Shamballa afterwards. There's no excuse not to, since it really ties up the loose ends of the end of the 2003 series and resolves almost everything in the plot.

    This is very classy, you've earned +1 sub sir.
    Also I know you aren't a huge fan of the usual big three. You've said that your main complaint is that they are too long, but would you consider reviewing their arcs instead? The Soul Society arc from Bleach along with the Pain Invasion arc from Naruto Shippuden are definitely ones you should consider (I would give a One Piece arc but I honestly can't say I follow it). Masashi Kishimoto has said that the Naruto manga will be ending this year and Bleach should end soon as well (I'd be surprised if it lasted longer than two more years) so you'll be able to put a number on their episodes at least.

Sure it is not complete as no top list ever can be. And obviously ther were titles not really to my liking. But most of these shows are proven classics or just highly acclaimed series for good reasons. And the list shows that the massive differences in anime can help that basically anybody can find something to like. Everytime someone asks what a freshman in anime should watch, I send them here.

They're both really great and cover different stories so both are very much worth a watch. The show follows a wandering mc like Mushi Shi, but Kino travels around a dystopian world from country to country staying only 3 days. So you get a completely different vibe in each ep and the countries are very segregated walled etc, it's interesting to follow on these little adventures and see the laws, lives and cultures of these weird places. ✌️

    I would recommend the anime Magi to you GR. It may seem a bit cliche for the first couple minutes (before the opening), and then a bit childish and info dumpy up until about half way into the first episode. Then it's all fan-hitting-shit from there, at least for a few episodes. It circulates back between the hellhole that is their world, and the bits and pieces of fun that is set by the characters. It's kinda like Higurashi No Naki Koro Ni in that perspective, but only slightly. The shit that hits the fan here is quite different from that which is When They Cry. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this particular anime. I'm not expecting a full review of it, just your thoughts in a message or comment at least.

      t0329097i Most normal people don't pirate for the sake of being cheap bastards, but rather it's the problem of availability. I mean, if you can't find it on Steam, iTunes, or Amazon (just to mention the big guys for each respective medium) what else can you do? Not to mention the prices can skyrocket if you're getting into a series when it's 100+ episodes in.

    @sparkle1princess 10 лет назад +17

    There are some things I feel should have been on this list, but weren't either because you have different tastes than me or haven't heard about them. those would be
    1) Anything by Studio SHAFT
    2) anything written by Gen Urobuchi
    3) bokurano
    4) Mirai Nikki
    5) Yuru Yuri
    6) Chunibyo
    If you're into reading manga, there's a few that were never animated and a few that the anime just completley butchers, so here
    1) Narutaru (deconstruction of the Mon genre. Written by the same person as Bokurano. The anime butchered it)
    2)Elfen lied (also butchered by the anime)
    3) Pupa (Horror manga. Pretty sick stuff in it. Anime butchered it)
    And lastly, there's a visual novel written by Gen Urobuchi that was never animated. There's an American comic book out that is vaguely based on the game, but with American ideas added. I think I can safely say that it is the worst americanizations I have ever set eyes on.
    The visual novel is called Saya no Uta. It's pretty sick shit in it, so if you're not into incredibly disturbing and terrifying shit, don't play it. It's fantastic, but bloody and... creepy is a huge understatement. At any rate, I recommend it.

    • @johnzee1724

      @sparkle1princess 10 лет назад

    • @johnzee1724
      @johnzee1724 10 лет назад

      sparkle1princess As Arkada stated: it's his list. Plus, I think most of the stuff on his list is great, so I won't suggest anything. I WILL, however, tell you why I don't like Urobuchi that's much. In my opinion, his works have more looks than actual substance, which is something that doesn't work for me. A cool idea that is wonderfully animated is not enough to make a masterpiece. You need great storytelling and characters for that too, and the characters in Madoka for example are just... empty. The main character of that series barely has a personality in my opinion. I didn't get any enjoyment out of her.
      Regarding Mirai Nikki: GoatJesus explains why that show sucks a lot better than I ever could, so I'll just link you to his review of it.

    As a long-time anime fan, I can safely decide my tastes and my opportunities for new anime is beyond infinite. I could watch nearly all of these anime/producer's works and probably never be bored again, but I have major issues which I doubt interest any of you past possibly annoying you to the point of a dislike. I personally try to be non-biased, but I have some hard brick walls that block most content from view in regards to anime. #1, I hate Sci-fi. I do not TRY to hate sci-fi, nor am I proud of my hatred of it. I simply find it hard to enjoy and that may only be part of my personal taste, something which I fear may not change very easily. #2, I hate older anime/manga. The older it is the harder it is for me to enjoy. Another part of my taste I suppose, and again something I'm not necessarily proud of, but I watched the first few episodes of Trigun, couldn't get into it. Same with Code Geass, I utterly despise shows featuring giant robots, and I have no clue as of why that is. I simply cannot enjoy them, and it actually bothers me quite a bit. I love Star-Trek, Star-Wars, Dr. Who, and many other old sci-fi shows, but no anime as of yet has managed to be enjoyable for me in those regards. The oldest anime/manga that I have fully enjoyed isn't even that old. Bleach is actually my overall favorite, of course, I have only read the manga, which I still have yet to finish, but at the moment I have read all that is physically possible for me to do so. Anyway, after typing more than I do when I write essays, I'd just like to ask the 2 people who actually fully read this comment (Assuming I'm even THAT popular, which I am not), is there an old/sci-fi anime season that I will enjoy NO MATTER WHAT? I honestly just can't manage to finish the ones I have seen. I think I will try this "Steins Gate" however, as well as that one that I have to go back and learn the name of... *Sigh*

    Very good list. Although concerning Soul Eater being complete...I don't know if you can call a crappy gecko-ending that the creators pulled out of their asses because the manga wasn't finished yet, and which makes no sense in the context of the story, "complete". ^^

      God I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the ending sucked. I didn't even know anything about the manga etc and even I went "WTH happened here?". So much deus ex machina in those last 15 episodes it hurt.

    I'm really disappointed by the lack of drill-themed robots in this video.
