In construction...but it will grow and become more detailed.

But for now, this is the main place to discuss anime and manga.

I'd recommend you watch Ergo Proxy and Black Lagoon.
As far as manga goes, read Battle Angel Alita.

It's pretty good.

    Dude. I'll be real right now and say that I am such a beginner to this anime shit. Help me be a 100 true 100 otaku daddy by posting ur top 10 anime series all time.

    Keep in mind that I have indeed seen Serial Experiments Lain, Full Metal Alchemist ( & Brotherhood) and Neon Genesis Evangelion. So try not to include those if you were going to.

    what would be the show you'd recommend for someone who's never seen an anime?
  • GallyGally
    Ergo Proxy, Samurai Champloo, and Black Lagoon

    These shows are pretty mature, no weird shit or nothing.

    All out pure action, Hellsing Ultimate OVA.
  • BennehBenneh
    Berserk and Cowboy Bebop all the way for me.
  • KyleKyle
    the only anime I've seen at all is Persona 4: The Animation because I really love that game

    Wolf Children, other Ghibli (like Takahata). I need to sees more, too, tbh.

    I plan on watching Perfect Blue, Eva, and Ghost in the Shell soonish.

    This needs more love for Afro Samurai.  Also as far as anime movies go I enjoy Summer Wars
  • liamb25liamb25
    Hunter X Hunter is one of the best ongoing anime series out there. For whatever reason it's overlooked, but i've never met a person who disliked it.

    also every ghibli movie, afro samurai, the original dragon ball series, bebop, and kuroko no basuke are all faves as well

    アニメ大好き! where would you like to begin?

    Japanese anime has been a great reflection of social mentalities of Japanese culture much like English novels are used to reflect ideologies. Of course not all novel much like not all anime.

    The 80s were post Zenkyoto riots and there was a massive earthquake that cause great destruction. Lots of groundbreaking and beautifully dark dystopic anime focused on those fears and release about the future. a kind of "Neo Tokyo" was a reoccurring theme. "Wicked City" "Demon City Shinjuku" "Akira" etc

    Others, in the incredible expanse of technology and manufacturing, were searching for a lost heritage through the revival of epic action tales of of period warriors. "Wrath of a Ninja" "Ninja Scroll" - the Ronin warriors of a Japan that no longer existed.

    The 90s were cult and fear driven in Japan. The subway sarin attack by Aum Shinrikyo, domestic terrorism, the Otaku murder. This left unspoken hardships on the mind, suspicion. Cults rose in heavy prevalence and made a new reach on the internet. The government was mistrusted. Technology was dangerous, addictive, fearful but mysterious. Great anime dove into fantasy for escapism, "Record of the Lodoss War". the extreme need to lash out against unseen evils "Berserk". Questions about the future of technology were mused on with "Ghost in the Shell" "Bubblegum Crisis" "Battle Angel" and the revamping of "Macross" and evolution as "Gundam"

    The 90s also brought about a new hero in a time where parents feared for their children even just going to school: The Magical Child anime was created. One child savior after another. Young adult and teens at first, then pre-teens in heavy rotation and creation by the 2000s.

    Let's talk anime!!!
