Currently watching Kara no kyoukai for the nth time I've decide to watch some Ghibli films to shake things up, anybody got any suggestions? So far I've watched: Totoro, Naussica, princess Mononoke, and Howl's moving castle. Kara no Kyoukai is amazing, I could rewatch that all day. As for movies, another Ghibli classic is Spirited Away, it's pretty good. I also recommend Millennium Actress, Perfect Blue and Paprika if you haven't watched them yet. They're not from Ghibli but they are still classics and a bit more on the psychological side. Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light is pretty Ghibli-ish story wise but without as much conflict as you see in most of their movies. And, of course, Summer Wars, it's one of my personal favorites and has a great deal of action. (I'm kinda throwing names out there because I don't know what genres you like x) )

I recently began indulging myself to various animations, and completed a few, such as Hellsing Ultimate, Code Geass (my personal favorite), and Soul Eater. Currently, I'm attempting to watch Black Butler and Mirai Nikki, consistent with my preferences of macabre and horrific as a personal favorite genre.

Code Geass (my personal favorite) nice Mirai Nikki, consistent with my preferences of macabre and horrific as a personal favorite genre. I just finished watching Mirai Nikki, and honestly I think the first half of the series is far better than the second half in terms of quality, but there are quite a few moments in the second half which are really powerful (emotionally). Overall though, I enjoyed it and the soundtrack is absolutely amazing. Since you say you enjoy that sort of genre (I do too) are there any other animes (or games for that matter) you would recommend?

That's definitely a tougher question to propose, Hellsing Ultimate, if you like extreme violence and graphics, it's also about vampires and the undead. Video game wise, I heard The Evil Within is phenomenal from a few people, and that it plays like Resident Evil 4 (Shinji Mikami created both series, by the way.) Blacl Butler, like I mentioned, starts off with a humorous atmosphere, but becomes more ambient and sadistic right off the bat. Also, Death Note is perfect. Not sure if you've seen any I suggested, but I tried.

Not sure if you've seen any I suggested, but I tried. Ok, thanks, I'll check them out (probably The Evil Within first). I have seen some brief clips of Hellsing Ultimate and it seemed a bit cheesy . I've watched very little anime (and not many of the ones I have are even good!) so I'm just looking for some pointers for things to try out.

Hellsing Ultimate is definitely amazing, and very unique with its morality. It's graphical presentation and animations are golden. Although, it's a very specific anime that isn't completely open to everyone in terms of entertainment; it's appeal is very particular, at least to me since I like vampires, zombies, horror and the like.

(I'm kinda throwing names out there because I don't know what genres you like x) ) Wow Dani stold everything >< Lets see, other movies would be "Girl who lept through time" and "Wolf Children". Series on the other hand, I suggest Shin sekai Yori and Spice and wolf (Since i'm recommending that to everyone at this point since they're so underrated >>>: ) I recently began indulging myself to various animations, and completed a few, such as Hellsing Ultimate, Code Geass (my personal favorite), and Soul Eater. Currently, I'm attempting to watch Black Butler and Mirai Nikki, consistent with my preferences of macabre and horrific as a personal favorite genre. Yay Code Geass! Its still my favourite even this many years after I watched it :P I'm not too much of a fan od macabre and horrific. But maybe check out the overhyped Psycho-Pass? Mirai Nikki, consistent with my preferences of macabre and horrific as a personal favorite genre. I just finished watching Mirai Nikki, and honestly I think the first half of the series is far better than the second half in terms of quality, but there are quite a few moments in the second half which are really powerful (emotionally).

I'm glad I found someone who shares such a high opinion of Code Geass, although a great deal of people do, too. I think I heard of Psycho-Pass just recently.

How dare thee, sir! xD Psycho-Pass is pretty good, the first season beats the second though. Macabre series I recommend: Elfen Lied, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Umineko no Naku Koro ni (kinda meh-ish), Another (is way better than it looks), Mononoke (sorta, but it's kinda stylized, also, not talking about the Ghibli one).

I completely forgot there was an anime adaptation of Umineko; I concentrated my attention towards the visual novels and manga.

They are a lot better than the anime though :/ They've cut a lot of stuff.
Though! They made a Touhou reference there so they rule.

Ryukishi07, the screenwriter and primary creator of Umineko, is actually companions with ZUN, and they've both taken similar inspiration in each other's creations, likewise the Touhou cameo aforementioned above.

Well, Ryukishi07 tends to make references for a lot of games. The teacher in Higurashi is a direct reference to Ciel from TYPE-MOON's Tsukihime. She loves curry like Ciel and even has the same VA x)

I just finished Legend of Korra and it had a pretty epic finale. It's sad to say goodbye after following the Avatar franchise for so long but now I need new stuff to watch. Any recommendations? I watch pretty much everything, I'm just not a fan of shoujo, mecha and specially ecchi in general.

Okay, I decided to read through this thread after I was informed that there are no spoilers being thrown around. Alzack, I would really appreciate it if you edited the OP to restrict uncovered spoilers (regardless of how old the anime/manga is) because spoiler tags exist for a reason. Anyhow, I watched a bunch of anime, though not a whole lot. My favorite anime ever is Code Geass, but I also really like Fullmetal Alchemist (I prefer the 2003 version to Brotherhood, actually), Steins;Gate, and Madoka. I'm not actually watching any anime right now (just finished Fate/Stay Night UBW season 1 this morning), but I'm really excited for Fate/Stay Night UBW season 2 and Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Ilya 2wei season 2. I do have an anime backlog, so I might start watching some of those... As for manga, I really haven't read much at all. I love Pandora Hearts though, and due to the agony of having to wait a month for every chapter, I decided to pause it at something like Ch 95 and re-read it from the beginning after it's completed. I'm also following Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) though I'm not that excited for it. I also plan to read the Higurashi and Umineko mangas soon, because I really love those VNs but I was very disappointed in their anime adaptations which makes me suspicious of the manga adaptations too. This thread seems to be a good place for me to find anime/manga recommendations, because several people here seem to share similar tastes with mine~ Also, my MAL: myanimelist.net/animelist/LightBrand99&show=0&order=4

Welp, new anime season, zhurray~ I recommend Death Parade to everyone, the OVA and the first episode were amazing! (I'm praying that they don't screw it up, though I trust Mad House).
