    One of the few animes that are good to me is Nagi no Asu Kara. Any genre should do. Just not horror. My fear of the dark returned because of horror games... (Yeah, I am a wimp....)

    KeybladeSpirit's Big-ish List of Anime Recommendations

    Neon Genesis Evangelion is a great experience and has numerous dubs in different languages of widely varying quality. The Spanish dub is fantastic, the English dub set the bar for the other dubs of its time but isn't that good by today's standards, and the German dub is good but ruins a really great scene that completely depends on one character being unable to speak German. The Russian dub is the standard by which all bad dubs are measured. I recommend watching it in your own language, with subs, and the English dub in that order. The "correct" order to watch is:

    1. Original Series
    2. Movie: Death and Rebirth (1 hour series recap+Half hour preview of EoE) (Optional)
    3. Movie: End of Evangelion (Proper ending that wraps up the series much better than the last two episodes)
    4. Movies: Rebuild of Evangelion (Remake/Sequel for original series)
    The proper order to watch Rebuild is:

    1. 1.0/1.11: You Are (Not) Alone (first few episodes of the series stitched together with some updated voice acting and animation)
    2. 2.0/2.22: You Can (Not) Advance (some remade episodes, some new content)
    3. 3.0/3.33: You Can (Not) Redo (all new content)
    Dangan Ronpa: The Animation is based on a great game of the same name and is alright. It is only available subbed for now, but Funimation is working on a dub as we speak. I recommend playing the game, though, because the adaptation wasn't very good in my opinion. The game is available for PSP in Japanese with a really good English patch. It is also available for the PS Vita in English with an English dub that I was able to get used to and an absolutely terrible English translation.

    Gurren Lagann is one of my all time favorites. As with anything GAINAX, the animation is breathtaking. Both the Japanese and English voices are extremely well done, though the English version has some minor pronunciation issues.

    If you liked Evangelion and Gurren Lagann, you may enjoy Captain Earth. It starts kind of bland, but later goes in a Gurren Lagann-ish direction with slightly harder science fiction. It's gotten bad reviews, but I personally think it's the best show of the Summer 2014 season and was beaten only by No Game No Life in Spring 2014. The last episode premiers in Japan this Saturday.

    Kill la Kill is another of my favorites. Even if you're not that into the subject matter, it's worth watching for the visual spectacle alone. Some people don't like that the characters show a lot skin, but others get used to it pretty quickly. For me, none of it even registers as fanservice anymore. It's made by the same people who made Gurren Lagann, though they split off from GAINAX to create their own company, Studio Trigger. Its English dub is currently in progress.

    My Mental Choices are Completely Interfering with My School Romantic Comedy (or NouCome for casuals) is hilarious and adorable. It's a quirky slice of life anime about a guy who occasionally has to make hypothetical choices that always come true no matter how implausible, always with hilarious results. It is not yet dubbed and doesn't look like it ever will be.

    If you like the beautiful animation of Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann and/or enjoyed Rugrats as a kid, Hanamaru Kindergarten is right up your alley.

    Other Recommendations:

    • Persona 4: The Animation

    • Soul Eater

    This season is full of great anime:
    Psycho Pass : an "brave new world" kind of anime, but with cops
    Rage of Bahamut Genesis : A great spanish flavor in a world with demons/humans/gods against BAHAMUT!
    Garo: A soft Berserk with witches hunting demons! Cool CG!
    Fate stay/night UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS: (a new anime from the fate series)
    LOG HORIZON: My favorite, is about a group of people stuck in a digital world based on the game they played (this world is more like Digimon, than Sword art online).
    ---
    From previous there is Madoka Magica and Shinsekai Yori!(another "brave new world" kinda of anime)

    I'm working on The Devil is a Part Timer and it's a pretty decent watch, not too mention only 13 episodes, so it's not something that'll take too long

    Some new ones I started last week [ this is week two for them ] are:
    Grisaia no Kajitsu [[ umm .... ]]

    Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji [[ Reminds me of Kaichou Wa Maid - sama, but with the male lead being more of a bully ]]
    Sora no Method [[ super cute anime that looks like it will have a lot of feels ]]
    Madan no Ou to Vanadis [[ it's about war, and 1600's(?) Western Europe and battle maidens; very actiony ]]

    The Devil is a Part Timer
    Soul Eater (below said to read it, not watch it, and I agree to a certain extent. The manga and anime are pretty much exactly the same up until Season 4 or ~volume 10. Both are very entertaining.)
    FMA: Brotherhood
    Steins;Gate
    Avatar: The Last Airbender (not technically anime shut up I don't care)
    Legend of Korra (STILL DON'T CARE)
    Gosick (not a bad supernatural detective one, but they got the dates for WWII completely wrong)
    Psycho Pass
    And just for fun, let's toss Elfen Lied in there. Give you some nightmares.

    It's a good anime, until the ending.

    God damn that ending was stupid.
