Good anime to watch,

[Neversoft]

Whatever, you're missing out!

I knew you would say that. But I don't think so. As I said, it doesn't interest me. If I force myself to watch it I'll only end up hating it more.

OP was boring at the begining and then gradually got better then awesome. and now when i look back i think the boring bit was awesome.

Your just to negative D: i agree that series shouldnt start of boring. but if it makes up for it later on shouldnt get classed as mediocre. And FMA is good so shush, lol.

If it was boring I'm sure you wouldn't have continued watching it. There are a fair few series that start off good but get a lot better as they progress. Trigun and Utawarerumono for example. The first episodes are good, but the last episodes are ten times better. I'm sure that's what One Piece is like, right? I'm sure Full Metal Alchemist does pick up later on, but the first episodes were nothing less than rubbish in my opinion and they showed no sign of ending any time soon when I dropped it so it doesn't matter if it does. I know I won't like it as an overall piece.

Well from my point of view I don't think a series can make up for the bad parts. Claymore almost does it, but the ending is undoubtedly crap, which brings the overall rating of the series down. Same with Soul Eater. If a series has a bad part, it isn't going to go away. A series can't make up for itself in my opinion.

Negative? That's a first. I'm think I'm more neutral, neither negative nor positive. There are a few series that I know deep down are unbelievably mediocre yet I love them. Da Capo being the main example. But I do dislike a lot of popular series as well... Full Metal Alchemist, Clannad, Soul Eater, Code Geass, Kenshin, Kara no Kyoukai, etc.

Code geasis is great if you watch it through, it's incrediblly well thought out how it all ties together in the end in a masisve set of twists
Guess it aint for everyone though.

I've seen people saying that Code Geass R2's story is terrible? Death Note is a well thought out series. :8

And you are implying...?

One of the best stories ever? Is it as indepth as Neon Genesis Evangelion? Is it as tension building as Death Note? Is it as epic as Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann? Is it as well put together as Baccano? Is it as involved as Utawarerumono? Is it as interesting as Mushishi? Is it as intriguing as Ghost in the Shell? Is it as emotional as The Girl Who Leapt Through Time? Is it as beautiful as Millennium Actress? Is it as well developed as Trigun? Is it as exciting as Welcome to the NHK? Is it as well balanced as Samurai Champloo? Is it as perfect as Cowboy Bebop? I doubt it.

I prefered code geass to code geass R2

That's what I've seen the majority on MyAnimeList say as well. I've also seen a handful of people with the first series rated 10, but R2 rated 3 or 4. How can it mess up so badly?

Well one of the best animes ive seen, perhaps not stories as it were .

Indepth as NGE, you could consider it that, perhaps not so much, but tbh NGE is more indepth than other anime anyway.
As tension building as DN.... yes, more even.
Epic as TTGL, why, nothing is more epic than TTGL, but it comes close.
It ais as well put together as Baccano.
It is as involved as Utawarerumono.
It is interesting, havent seen mushishi
Perhaps intriguing as ghost in the shell, havent seen it tho.
The ending can be considered emotional!
The art is beautiful, perhaps not to everyones taste though.
It is as well developed as trigun.
It is more exciting than welcome to the NHK, and i havent even seen it.
Well balanced? wut? are you trying to make up stuff so that i type more?
It isn't perfect. None of those anime you mentioned are otherwise you would have used the same anime for each of those qualities.

However CG isnt meant to have EVERYTHING in it, coz then it'd be silly. However it has the right dose of what you could want.

Atleast what i want.

By the way, just incase you didn't know every question I directed at you in my last post was about the story. I was asking if the story was as tension building as Death Note. If they story was as beautiful as Millennium Actress, and if the story was as involved as Utawarerumono. I'm not talking about overall qualities, just the story because you said it had one of the best stories ever.

- Nothing is as indepth as Neon Genesis Evangelion. Nothing! There have been essays written about the ending alone which are long enough to be books, and even after that people can only explain their interpretation. Everyone experiences and interprets Evangelion differently, that alone is another to show how indepth it is. It's so indepth no one can explain it.
- More tension building than Death Note? Are you serious? Episode 36 and 37 nearly killed me. I couldn't stay still for even a milisecond. There was so much tension I was giggling like a little girl. A sane person would have thought I was crazy.
- Nothing even comes close to the epicness in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
- Baccano! is probably the best example of a well put together anime out there. Don't lie to yourself.
- So each character has a place in the story and the audience actually feel part of the show?
- Mushishi is a fantasy like no other. Although I guess it would be hard to compare it to Code Geass.
- All things change in a dynamic environment. Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you. Ghost in the Shell really makes you think and you have to stay focused to understand. It's also the only movie I've come across that has absolutely no pointless scenes, everything in it needs to be there. Is Code Geass up to that level?
- The Girl Who Leapt Through Time can make a grown man cry.
- I'm actually talking about the story so I don't know how the art got into this but... beautiful? The art? It's gay. It's done by CLAMP who are a group of like five middle aged women. Every male character looks like a complete poof.
- So it keeps you guessing, the conclusion connects to earlier episodes and it involves every single character ever introduced?
- Welcome to the NHK is like a none stop roller coaster ride in hell whilst playing your favourite game, eating your favourite food and having sex with your favourite celebrity. It can't be more exciting than Welcome to the NHK.
- Well balanced, as in is there a good balance of action, drama, comedy, etc in the story. Samurai Champloo has a bit of everything.
- I don't understand what you're saying, but I believe there are two anime in existance that have an absolutely perfect, flawless story. The first being Neon Genesis Evangelion, the second being Cowboy Bebop. Nodame Cantabile comes close as well.

I rest my case!

Speaking of Welcome to the NHK I thought today that I would finally start watching it, and oh my god! I am now on episode 16 and should be finished later today! I will not sleep until this is finished. It’s terrific! I'm going on a two week trip on the 15th, I was thinking of downloading the Gurren Lagann series to my laptop to watch it, but the download time is too long curse having a rubbish internet. I guess ill just have to make do with my Iphone. Thanks for recommending Welcome to NHK, its brilliant.
