So I have only been watching anime for a like 2.5 years now so I have just been coasting off of all the mainstream stuff that is always mentioned in these kind of threads; Eveangelion, Code Geass, Bebop, FMA, Attack on Titan, Bleach, Naruto, Steins;Gate, Hellsing Ultimate etc etc
But now that I have finished those I don't really know anymore, so does anyone know really good animes that would NOT have been mentioned in top anime / top x genre lists since that's where most of my suggestions came from.
Heres MAL, been slacking on updating it lately but gives you an idea if you care to look; http://myanimelist.net/profile/ZeroCool395

slice of life isn't really my thing, thanks though.
>>46754
It's not really slice of life. They actually work towards a goal throughout the whole series.

Go watch ghost in the shell stand alone complex
Did you watch yuru yuri its one of the better slice of life shows nichijou is good too
>>46800
>Go watch ghost in the shell stand alone complex
is that a good starting point for someone that has never seen ANY Ghost in the Shell stuff?
Noticed it before but it had so many different entries was confused where to begin.
Also never seen / heard of Yuru Yuri, the only slice of life I have ever enjoyed was WataMote just due to the cringe factor... not really my jam besides that one in particular.
>>46804
Yuru yuri is the thing in the op and nichijou is really over the top and actually funny not just cute girls doing cute things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YPRGVIX5TM
>>46804
>is that a good starting point for someone that has never seen ANY Ghost in the Shell stuff?
I think its the best starting point personally
You can watch the movie then SAC but its not necessary to understand it
Movie is good to I just like the show more
>>46809
>>46800
>>46778
that clip was hilarious, might have to check it out now, also the OP pic being related to that other show 100% coincidence hah.

Have you tried any of the anime airing right now?
You can see a list of them at anilist.co - Just click and browse tab and have a look around.
>>46821
I don't like waiting a week per episode, newest anime I watched while it was airing was One Punch and it killed me between episodes lol, thanks for the site though didn't know of it.
>>46849
No problem anon. Also, what is your preferred anime genre?
e.g: Horror, SoL, Yuri
There is pretty much every anime I can think of on http://kissanime.to no matter how old.
Have a look around there and I'm sure you'll find something.

Hope this helps. bye
The Vision of Escaflowne
my favorite show of all time, just happened to fall right in the middle of the whole cowboy bebop/evangelion/etc age and for whatever reason isn't often talked about.
it sort of tries to be every genre all at once and it somehow remains radical despite that
>so you want a down to earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots
>escaflowne
it's shonen its shoujo it's fantasy it's scifi it's romance it's comedy it's got angels and dragons and airships and prophecy and catgirls and gigantic fucking noses and and and
>>46739
> god tier
> never watched One Piece
kill self
>>46800
Space bros is awesome. Same with Redline.
Mawaru Penguindrum
>>46868
By far the most "unique" ecchi and my personal favorite is Midori Days
>>46956
>watching one piece
>not reading the manga

>>47520
I don't really like movies desu..I feel like I have to connect with a characters to really enjoy watching something, so unless it is followed up by a series I usually stay away from them
DESERT PUNK!!!!!

>>47579
You are really missing out on some great stuff that way senpai
>>46739
Oh boy do i have a list of obscure but good anime for you. Most of these will be mid-late 90s titles though
Mezzo DSA (Mezzo forte is the prequel, but it's porn)
Avenger
Gungrave (i didn't like the second half personally, but it's good.)
Mardock Scramble (three movies)
Great Teacher Onizuka
DearS (Cutesy futuristic moeblob anime, but pretty good)
Tokko
Birdt the Mighty Decode (the newer series will probably interest you more)
Denpa Teki na Kanojo (One of the top anime's ever created imho)
Dominion Tank Police
Freedom
The Guyver (The classic OVAs are the best imo)
Kaibutsu Oujo
Kara no Kyoukai (Another contender for greatest anime ever. split into 7 movies.)
Kino no Tabi (aka Kino's Journey)
Kurau: Phantom Memory
Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne
Shadow Skill (Probably my favorite high action martial arts anime)
True Tears (A good Slice of Life drama)
White Album 2 (same as above)
Most of these you can find Dubbed if that's your thing.
>>46800
Just watched the 1995 movie, I don't even know what really happened at the end there.. did sh e merge with the Puppet Master?
Didn't really hook me the way I hoped it would and want me want to watch the anime.
>>47601
>did sh emerge with the Puppet Master?
iirc yes its been years since ive seen it though
I found the show more engaging and the characters acted more human
I think the show takes place before the movie anyway
Redline trailer because movies are cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2H_FsmxWzc
>>46804
Agreed, watch the original GITS movie before moving into SAC, or much of it will seem irrelevant.
>>46739
My picks:
Wacky comedic adventure - 宇宙海賊ミトの大冒険 [Uchū Kaizoku Mito no Daibōken] (Space Pirate Mito) lots of WTF?
Romantic drama - 彼氏彼女の事情 [Kareshi Kanojo no Jijō] (His and Her Circumstances) lots of D'AWWW
Hentai - 淫獣学園 LaBlue Girl [Injū Gakuen La Blue Girl] (Lewd Beast Academy: La Blue Girl) lots of tentacle grape
Police comedy/drama - 逮捕しちゃうぞ [Taiho Shichauzo] (You're Under Arrest) lots of slice-of-life
and a random surreal dystopian crime drama (movie) - デッド リーブス [Deddo Rībusu] (Dead Leaves) what is this I don't even...
These are rather old-school, and certainly won't appear on the "mainstream" viewlists :p
Have fun with 'em.
OP here, is there any way I can archive / save this thread besides just coming screenshoting it?
Don't want to lose all these good suggestions :u
>>47841
File --> Save As.
Or bookmark http://archive.nyafuu.org/wsr/thread/46739/
>>47850
Don't see File anywhere.. am a pleb, also does that link keep it alive to view even after it 404s?
>>47861
Right click, then choose Save As
Yeah it does it's the archive
>>47875
Cool thanks Ill just bookmark the archive then :)
>>47861
It's in the top-left corner of any application whose target audience includes people who can dress themselves unassisted.
>>47884
perhaps you can point it out to me then?
plastic neesan
>>46739
>mainstream

What the fuck does that even mean? Do you mean late night UHF anime? Old anime? Something to do with how popular with western audiences that don't really matter in the first place?
>>46739
>>48162
thanks, nice file name btw
>>48168
No prob.
(It's one of a series)
>>46956
>one piece
>godteir
Pick one.
>>47058
>not doing both
Shiggy diggy
Akame ga kill is GOAT.
Dubbed isn't finished yet, so I'd wait a few weeks until Adult Swim can finish and watch the others in this thread until then.
Also:
>Cowboy Beebop
>Space Dandy
>Samurai Champloo
>>48174
>Akame ga kill is GOAT.
Yep. This is /wsr/, alright.
>>48169
got part 1 anywhere? :)
>>48174
>Akame ga kill is GOAT

>Dubbed isn't finished yet, so I'd wait a few weeks
I don't want to believe this is real y-you are just pretending right anon?
>>48177
The increasing number correlates to both age and usefulness.
>>48300
fucking top kek, literally mfw reading that
>>48342
thanks anon going to save all of these.. what do you mean about the age / usefulness tho, #1 was the first made and has all the best anime etc etc?
>>48382
3 is the newest and most useful (in my opinion).
They're all relatively old, though.
you should try kaiji. the first 3 episodes should defiantly pull you in. This show is thrilling as fuck when you give it a chance.
>>48391
is that the one based on the japanese bored game similar too chess? If so, figured I wouldn't get it since I don't know the game, if not.... go on
>>46800
>cromartie high
You sir are a badass
>>48414
not that anon you are thinking of akagi wich is about mahjong and by the same guy
Kaiji is about gambling in general and has different games the rules are explained or obvious no prior knowledge needed
Its also fucking great
Mahoraba Heartful Days was pretty fun Slice of Life Romance where the Heroine has Dissociate Identity Disorder.
There's also Zegapain which is literally The Matrix with Giant Robots
>>47237
listen to this guy
>>48428
you had me at the matrix.. but i fucking hate mechs so hard
>>47887
Hit alt you bumbling retard.
>>48725
>but I fucking hate mechs so hard
>>48776
kek, mfw... thanks anon
>>48778
code geass is the only one I could ever get into.. and I fucking loved Gundam when i was a kid, its weird.
>>48788
Have you seen gurren lagann?
>>46739
Boku no Piko
>>48795
ummm, nope.
>>48802
not lookin for hentai
>>48162
So , not OP but I'm also always looking for god tier anime.
My absolute favorite has probably been Beck:MCS, I've yet to find anything that has that sort of feeling to it. Do you have any suggestions off f that?
I've also watched from that list:
Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, FMA, Champloo, Black Lagoon, Fate/Stay Night, Gunslinger Girl, GTO, Berserk(read, maybe I should watch too), Paranoia Agent, Mushishi, Claymore (my absolute second favorite), GiTS, Xamdo (probably my 3rd from that list)
>>48937
Ping Pong: The Animation
Black butler....deathnote....berserk.just rewatched those with my gf recently as she hadnt seen them or many others either.definitely not uncommon but uncommonly good.
>>48937
Bumping comment for claymore
Go watch Now and Then, Here and There
>>48983
No don't, it's an insufferably preachy shitfest that presents psych 101 stuff like the Prisoner's Dilemma and Milgram as some kind of stunning revelation about human nature, and then shits the bed by having everyone defy said human nature and be nice and cooperative just because the gary-stu MC tells them to.
>>49010
Thank goodness you posted this, that's actually one of the things I hate most in american works.
>>46892
>Chaos;Child
That's not an anime. At least not yet.
Ping Pong
Kaiba
Tatami Galaxy
essentially everything Yuasa
I need a good torrent of Baka and Test.
PB doesn't have any good DL's for it because no seeders.
>>49123
>PB for anime
>>49127
That's where I got my torrents for Naruto Shippuden, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, and One Piece.
Not saying I expected to find everything there, but still.
>>49123
On KAT there's a few different ones with seeders.
>>49123
Just use nyaa.se
There is literally a picture in this thread with recommendations and if you scroll to the bottom it gives you several torrent sources.
IN THIS VERY THREAD.
>>49149
Sounds comfy, I might have to get a hulu account. I'm assuming they're only dubs though?
>>49153
Actually no. Many of them have both. I hate to sound like a shill, but they even have One-Punch Man and Attack on Titan which don't have dubs.
Only series I've found so far with a dub only is Zatch Bell.
>>49157
That's actually pretty sweet, might be worth it over crunchy roll thanks I'll give it a looksie.
Can't look like a shill if someone asked cause they were too lazy to ask!
>>46739
Baccano
Vision of Escaflowne
Yami Shibai
What about shinsekai yori? A solid Godtier that, for some reason, nobody talks about.
Kekkai sensen is other option that, to me, isn't that mainstream, but I wouldn't put it in the god tier list.
Holy shit how has no one mentioned Anidb yet? That site is useful as fuck, has most anime even obscure shit because of all the animu nerds on it, and it has a good system for sorting by rating (and the community is pretty good at rating harshly but fairly), and even by useful keywords, themselves ranked by how well they apply.
>>49588
Well it is really just another option of looking stuff up, in my opinion however it is one of the best. I really wish more sites had as good a tagging system, community and all that.
>>49219
shinsekai yori seems promising; horror, mystery and sci-fi 3 genres I love.
Just go check the MAL top rated charts, there's stuff past 50 that's worth a watch although there's a shitload of sol moeshit
What happened to nyaa? Is it down forever?
>>49741
nyaa.se
It's literally up right now, I downloaded almost everything suggested in this thread (over 300GB) over the last 2 days.
Googling nyaa will even get you there
Duckduckgo even has a bang for it now! (This is awesome!)
>>49746
It's been down for everyone, are you making things up?
>>49741
I take that back, while my torrents are still flowing the website is apparently down and the IRC isn't providing answers.
>>49748
that blows... glad I caught animebytes when its registration was open >.>
>>49063
>not an anime
But I watched it?
binbougami ga! (Good Luck Girl if you want the dub) is pretty good.
