Rey_Piste Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I've watched the first half a dozen episodes of Food Wars on Crunchy Roll. It is literally a food porn anime and it's completely dumb, but light hearted fun and honestly not a good show to watch if you're hungry. This slightly NSFW clip from the first episode shows exactly what I mean. https://youtu.be/6DCMilg9iqA Quote
Paid Members DEF Posted September 8, 2015 Paid Members Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Over the last three nights I've polished off the complete series of Death Note on Netflix. I was really into it but I felt like the last ten episodes whilst still good seemed to be retreading old ground at times. That said, it didn't matter in the slightest overall. A really gripping watch that I would absolutely recommend. They make some really quite wordy monologues epic rather than a choir. Â Any similar recommendations that are on Netflix, Amazon instant or Crunchyroll? Edited September 8, 2015 by DEF Quote
Mr.E Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 In terms of how dark something is, Black Butler may be up your street. If its a good story you're after, then I would recommend Full Metal Alchemist : Brotherhood, both are on Netflix. Â I mentioned it earlier in this thread but Death Note reads a lot better due to the amount of wording involved, as in the anime its just long monologues at times. The final episode itself really kicks it off with amazing voice acting done from everybody involved. Quote
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted September 8, 2015 Paid Members Posted September 8, 2015 I have just finished the entire Terror in Resonance series. It was actually very good indeed. It had a very 90's action 'die hard' vibe about it, but you root for both sides. Worth a watch. It's on Netflix at the moment. Â Can anyone suggest a series which has a gang war / warriors vibe to it at all? Quote
Paid Members waters44 Posted October 26, 2015 Paid Members Posted October 26, 2015 I can't remember if this has already been mentioned, but my mate who is really big into Anime keeps going on about a series called Sword Art Online (I think). Its on Netflix so give it a whirl if you are looking for something new to watch. I tried it, but again the subtitles were doing my head in Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 It is dubbed into English, you need to access it through the Audio & Subtitles section Quote
Paid Members waters44 Posted October 26, 2015 Paid Members Posted October 26, 2015 Ah awesome! Cheers! Quote
Mr.E Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I can't remember if this has already been mentioned, but my mate who is really big into Anime keeps going on about a series called Sword Art Online (I think). Its on Netflix so give it a whirl if you are looking for something new to watch. I tried it, but again the subtitles were doing my head in  Sword art online is "OK" . It has a decent story behind it, but is over very quickly, when the initial story line could have lasted a long time if the spun it out a little bit. That and its constantly trying to hit you "right in the feels" so its a lot of crying and stuff like that.  To be honest its not anywhere near the top of the list in terms of Anime's that are "Great", in terms of what I've seen.

WyattSheepMask Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Are Attack On Titan and Tokyo Ghoul worth checking out? They seem to be the two that everyone is raving about lately Edited October 27, 2015 by WyattSheepMask Quote
Mr.E Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Attack on Titan is very good, fairly simple story and is just so well made, its looks great. Tokyo Ghoul was a bit much for me, (vrey gruesome in places) so depends what sort of thing you're into. Quote
Merzbow Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 If you don't mind the gore and grotesque elements then I'd heavily recommend Parasyte over Tokyo Ghoul, the writing's much stronger for a start. Quote
Vegeta Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I loved death note and watched future diary recently also which I found had simular vibes to it, could any of you be kind enough to recomend some more which are simular to them if possible? Thanks in advance. Quote
Merzbow Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Terror in Resonance has a similar cat & mouse feel to Death Note, both featuring geniuses going head to head against each other. I've heard a bunch of good things about Psycho Pass too, seems to be on a similar psychological thriller vibe and I really need to get around to watching it. Quote
Vegeta Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks for the advice once I get a chance I'll check them out Quote
Paid Members DEF Posted January 27, 2016 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2016 I think I' m going with Terror in Resonance next. Checked out the first episode of Black Lagoon and it didn't do much for me. Does it improve? Â Watched Attack on Titan recently. On the one hand it was quite engaging but on the other it seemed to do an awful lot of stalling in order to get to an infuriating non ending. Would love to see where it goes though. I guess that's why its infuriating. Quote
