Skip Angel Beats it's awful.

>>39038
will do, thanks for the warning

>>39024
Ping Pong for sure. If you loved Tatami Galaxy you'll love it. Mob Psycho 100 is good as well.
>>
>>39024
NGE

>>39024
Kaiba, and then Ping Pong.
>>
You should probably watch Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei if you like Tatami galaxy
God Tatami Galaxy was good
>>
>>39024
Who told you to watch that shit FIRST? Whoever did that ruined anime for you forever. After you've watched Ping Pong and Texhnolyze judging from what you rated 10/10 you're done. There are no better anime out there.

Read these. They are the best manga has to offer and since you like having entire forms of media ruined for you straight away, here you go. The pinnacle of manga, from amazing to absolute masterpiece.

These are the only manga that are playing for real. Everything else is just there for moderate mindless entertainment.

I wouldn't know. I haven't had time to watch any anime for almost two years because I got a job.

You only need to watch Gunbuster and later Eva
>>
>>39039
Word is, Angel Beats is a pale imitation of Haruhi meant to cash in on the latter's initial surge in popularity. Like Log Horizon clearly is for SAO. Of course Log Horizon is much better than SAO, but not as well animated, and has less porn and related media overall. So it really comes down to what you want out of the experience.

Paranoia Agent.
Angel's Egg
maybe Boogiepop Phantom.

Honey & Clover
>9/10
>>Welcome to the NHK
Watamote
Genshiken
Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei
>>Satoshi Kon movies
Satoshi Kon animu and mango
Shunji Ito mango
>>Ghibli
Makoto Shinkai movies
Kino no Tabe
Hainbane Renmei yes, really
Flip Flappers
>>
>>39156
Let's get real here. You can like Watamote but no way in hell is it even close to a 9 out of 10. Pacing was godawful, bad soundtrack, bad art, the list goes on.
>>
>>39111
You have to actually nurture your addiction with some decent anime once in a while, watching 20+ shit shows every season burns you out fast.
>>
>>39162
That's why a backlog and a collection of stuff you've watched but enjoyed is key to the hobby. You run for safe pastures when it's raining shit.
>>
>>39158
I took a guess that what appealed to him about NHK was the internal drama and insight into Japanese views of nerd madness when recommending Watamote.
>>
>>39369
You're partly right, but what appealed me the most about NHK was how much I could relate to the main character, right down to the fine details (like making a game and shilling it, or having my nerdy best friend suddenly fuck the cutest girl at school later on). It was like looking at a story about a future me, minus Misaki of course.

Then Watamote should be at the front of your queue.

you should watch it tb

These are garbage though.
>>

>yes, really
What's wrong with the series? It's better than anything else posted here.
>>
>>39660
No, their animes are terrible adaptations and their manga are much better and let's be honest everyone read the manga first.
>>
>>39667
As a recommendation for someone who liked "Ghibli", you could argue it's lows are a bit low.
>>
>>39574
I disagree with you. I also related to the main guy in NHK, but when I read Watamote I couldn't relate to the main character because I don't think I'm a horrible person.
The anime might be different, but Tomoko is a complete bitch in the manga and as far as anyone can deserve to be lonely, she does.
>>
>>40081
wut. how bad is she? what does she do exactly?
haven't read the mango or watched the animu yet but i plan to. im expecting a lucky star clone.
>>
>>40093
It's been a while since I read it, but if I'm recalling correctly she's just a mean, self-serving person.
I might have gone a little bit far with the last bit in my post, but the point remains that I couldn't relate with her.
>>
>>40081
Satou deserves his crummy life too. Goddamn dipshit tweenager.
>>
>>39024
Check out Aoi Bungaku and Kuuchuu Buranko. I think you'll absolutely love the former.
>>
Psycho Pass, even though it falls off a cliff the last three episodes.
>>
>>40127
The thing is, Satou, for all his flaws, is basically an alright guy that just has a lot of problems living in the world which led to his situation. Tomoko, on the other hand, is a terrible person who happens to also have a lot of problems living in the world which led to her situation.

Same situation, different people.
>>
>>40148
How many times did he betray someone or plan to, take his few friends for granted, misunderstand them repeatedly due to being utterly self absorbed, or generally just freak the hell out on totally reasonable strangers? More times than Tomoko. Tomoko may need slapped and hugged alternately, but Satou needs beat with a stick and 5 beers, every month, or he'll just go wobbly again. He is not an alright guy.
>>
>>40156
I'm fairly sure this isn't right, but then again, it's been a long time since I've read the book or seen the series, so maybe I'm misremembering. Oh well.
>>
Ping Pong

It's even better than Tatami, believe it or not

You should watch Katanagatari
>>
>>40605
added to my list thanks anon
>>
>>40099
i just finished watching the anime, and that's basically correct. it was nothing like lucky star and tomoko was completely unrelatable.
couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be ironic or what. she's totally conceited but unattractive, and even got called ugly more than once. and apparently she smells like an old person. she's also degrading everyone around her in her head (most of this anime took place as her inner monologue), whether it's because they're ugly or fat themselves or if she simply sees them socializing which makes her angry or jealous for whatever reason.
she also keeps claiming to want friends but goes to extreme measures to isolate herself and runs away or mumbles when anyone tries interacting with her.
so either it was supposed to be ironic or she was supposed to have a serious mental disorder. probably a sociopath since she can't relate to other people and has no consideration for anyone but herself.

Evangelion
Berserk (though the manga is better and has way more content, the anime is also good)

You have good taste, watch shin sekai yori

I'm watching Berserk 1997,Elfen Lied and Akira.

I also recommend Higurashi, but read the VN instead.

Another is also pretty good, short and sweet
>>
>>39024
An important thing to do when watching anime is to keep track of names. Names of scriptwriters, directors, series composers, music composers, character designers, that kind of thing. Studios to a lesser extent.

When you see something you like, seek out more stuff associated with the names of these people. Then repeat the exercise when you find new things you like.

That's really the best way to get into anime.

Also stay away from sites like MAL, you might place some misguided faith in their "ratings" system based on being right much of the time, but they get it wrong on so many great series. Read absolutely nothing into the fact that a show has like 7 or less rating on MAL. Especially recently aired or currently airing shows. MAL is full of retards.
>>
>>44154

Golden post. Thanks for this anon. I'm curious though, what rating would you give SAO?
>>
>>44155
I think rating things out of 10 is retarded. It's usually done as a way of trying to falsely enhance the validity of one's opinion by showing how high their "standards" are. But it contains no useful information. Most shows aren't similar enough to compare on a simple spectrum like that.

I've only seen webms of SAO and from what I've seen the animation quality and action scenes are great, but then again, that's probably the reason people made webms of those scenes. A-1 is a good studio though. SAO just never appealed to me because of its premise.
>>
>>44156

I must admit that I've bought into the ratings fallacy too many times. To me, someone with very limited time, it's a way for me to efficiently search for a good show that has in a way been approved or screened by viewers before me. The trouble is, if you fully subscribe to the ratings system then you'll probably miss a lot of gems out there, especially on MAL and reddit where the hivemind mentality is cultivated.
>>
>>44157
It's much worse than that, anon. MAL is flawed in many ways. For one, because you can rate a show without finishing watching it. So a massive number of shows on there are rated by people based on the initial impression that it gave. And also by people who don't like a certain genre.

It also has a chilling effect on people who don't want to expose themselves to ridicule for highly rating something rated lowly by the community consensus. So people tend to be really reserved about giving high scores to shows that are new unless there is a lot of hype around them.

This also means that the ratings are top-heavy and the initial impression continues to give the series a high rating even if it only starts out good but gets bad later. Zankyou no Terror and Boku Dake ga Inai Machi are recent examples of this. The shows started out giving off "instant classic" vibes because of the people involved in them and the premises, but the general consensus about both of those shows is that they turned out either mildly disappointing or laughably bad.
>>
>>44158
>>44157
Further to this, another less glaring flaw is that there is bias towards subsequent seasons. So Season 2 of a show will invariably have a higher rating than Season 1, not because it's better, but simply because nobody who disliked season 1 bothered watching season 2.
