Looking for something new to watch

Post by dark-water-dragon »

I have been looking for new shows to watch but I have no idea where to start. I try to catch what is new on A.S. but nothing has really caught my eye. Things I have watch are DBZ/GT, FMA, YYH, IY, Trigun, Kitty Grade, Naruto, VHD, Bleach, RK, Cowboy B, Berserk, L Wars, Gungrave, Ghost in the Shell, and a few others. I really like things with action or just a really good story. Can anyone give me a few suggestions.

If you want to watch something like that you’ll have to look at older shows. Hunter X Hunter (1999) might work for you. It’s slow getting started, and the “genkiâ€

I own Flame of Recca. I do like it, but it follows YYH so closely it is almost a mirror image.

I have wondered about HXH and FMP. I have heard a lot about them on AB but have not had the chance to view them for my self.

Tokyo Majin and Tenjho Tenge are shows I haven't heard much about.

Thank you irmgaard for your imput. I will be checking these out.

1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

I totally have to 2nd Full Metal Panic! It was the first mecca anime I watched outside of Evangelion and the first one in which I didn't feel I was watching a mecca anime, it was just great!
