Onrpg's Anime Essentials List

[zipykido]

I just watched:
[mecha]Fafner in the azure
and I thought it was pretty decent. The soundtrack is amazing, the mech fights are ok, although it's mainly plot driven and not z0mg awesome mecha fight driven.

You don't need to add genre tags when mentioning your animes. I tried my best to cover all the genres. Think I did a pretty good job. Heh.
We need more people voting.. force other Onrpgers to vote. xD

TBH I want to vote negative for all the Narutos & One Piece, but a lot of you seem to like those kinds of anime I spose.

Here's some popular ones just cause of TV but I'd say popular animes are still a must to know bout.
Samurai Champloo
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
.Hack//Sign
Wolf's Rain

For movies anything from that Spirited Away guy is def good.
5 Centimeters Per Second - majorly sad
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time -sad

Ouran High School Host Club lol. ;c
Chobits
Lovely Complex
Elfen Lied

[TheJESTERJ]

What, no "Baccano!"? Shame on you OnRPG. Shame.

Baccano! [DETECTIVE] [ACTION] [SUSPENSE]

I also second all of what `doll said, except Ouran High School, 5 centimeters per second, and Lovely Complex. Haven't seen those.

Oh yeah, and Grave of the Fireflies need to be up there. Another one of those heartbreak films.

I'm finding that I'm having a hard time putting down action or fighting for a lot of these when they involve both but less fighting.

[EpicPhail]

Can I vote for Death note like 30 times?

Honestly people seem to negative it because they think its popular and over expect things..I honestly think it was simply amazing-period.

Also + Elfen Lied..

-Naruto shipuden..After 30 episodes I concluded it was crap

-Bleach No shana > Bleach.

+ No shana.

I think Death Note is bad because the story is weak for a show that relies almost entirely on its story. It tries so hard to be witty and have certain twists in it, but I called the entire thing way before I watched any of the episodes with absolutely no surprises, it was predictiable and boring.

For something that did surprise me
SPOILERFMA:2 Lust having her core ripped out and apparently dying, then not being dead

Positive on all of those I say here ~~

+Azumanga Daioh [COMEDY][LIFE]
+D.Gray-Man [ACTION][FANTASY][MYSTERY]
+Death Note [THRILLER][MYSTERY][SUPERNATURAL][PSYC]
+Lucky Star [COMEDY][LIFE]
+Wolf's Rain [MYSTERY][POST-APOCAL][ADVENTURE]

Negative on those

-Bleach
-One Piece
-Claymore

I can't understand how you can give positive to those ones which are either terrible or similiar to Bleach / Claymore. Can you explain why you don't like those two?
