I just watched the first episode... wow, that was fucked up...

I'll watch a few more, but I think you really have me pegged completely wrong. Because I liked Mnemosyne doesn't mean that I'm a Sadist. $:-\$

I don't know... let me just list off a bunch of series that you rated pretty highly. Maybe you can see why I recommended those two series to you

(click to show/hide)

And then considering that you seem to enjoy "ecchi action" series, I thought my recommendations were spot on. I guess not? Sorry about that.

Despite it being kinda sick at first, Speed Grapher is pretty decent so far.

If you'd seen my really old thread you'd probably get that impression too. But I watch anime based on moods. Also, I'm very sexist when it comes to sadistic characters. With females it's great, but with males it's just kind of disturbing. Something to do with breaking gender roles perhaps, I don't know.

Sadistic females is not breaking gender roles, it's emphasizing them.

Oh good. I'm happy my rec's weren't a total bust.

Hah, yeah. I definitely would have thought that, based on the topic

I'm with you though, with watching based on moods. Sadistic characters need to be female, hm? Okay. It's a good thing you didn't like Blue Gender then. (The main guy snaps later on... big time!)

By episode 7 Speed Grapher slowed down and by 8 I got kinda bored of it.

So anyways, any other recommendations not mentioned yet?

I just Marathon'd Xam'd: Lost Memories a few days ago.

If you don't like Eureka Seven, you won't like this one, and the ending takes some contemplation to understand.

I hated Eureka Seven because:
1. Rendon was annoying as shit.
2. Rendon and the kids were fugly.
3. The I hate the whole skater punk thing.

1. The MC is kinda annoying, but understandably so. He DID just get turned into a monster, and told "you'll die if you don't come with me."
2. Same art style, so they're still gonna be "fugly."
3. There's no skater punk stuff in this one. It almost solely focuses on the religious aspect since that's what's keeping the MC alive.

Might be a shot in the dark, but if you are interested in a movie I stalked your list and didn't see it added soo.

I suggest Redline, at first the art style is a little weird but its dubbed and it makes you feel like your adrenaline is pumping pretty damn hard.

Tiffanys · « **Reply #49 on:** April 26, 2013, 02:11:02 PM »

My selection has gotten kinda dry now so if you have any more recommendations they would be greatly appreciated.

Also, you can suggest ones that do not have dubs now just make sure to note that they don't have a dub. If we've run out of all the good dubbed ones then I'd rather at least have some suggestions for ones without dubs than none at all.

BrianaBird · « **Reply #50 on:** April 27, 2013, 12:47:28 AM »

Throwing another vote in for Outlaw Star. If you like Outlaw Star, I'd definitely recommend The Slayers.

Tiffanys · « **Reply #51 on:** April 27, 2013, 11:48:53 AM »

Nah, I tried watching the first episode and didn't like it.

Al_Sleeper · « **Reply #52 on:** April 27, 2013, 11:56:17 AM »

Watch it past Episode 4.

Tiffanys · « **Reply #53 on:** April 30, 2013, 04:46:50 AM »

....it's really stupid though.

Al_Sleeper · « **Reply #54 on:** April 30, 2013, 05:02:09 AM »

It gets better (if you don't count space combat depiction).

Tiffanys · « **Reply #55 on:** May 11, 2013, 08:32:58 PM »

Nah, I'm giving it a pass.

I'm rewatching Gundam Wing right now. It's weird that I don't remember any of this except for what the gundams looked like...

kanpai · « **Reply #56 on:** May 12, 2013, 02:36:53 AM »

Thank god I'm not the only one, did that last year 9/10 episodes no recognition whatsoever.

That list wasn't everything I've seen..

I've seen these:
Cowboy Bebop
FLCL - hated it
Hellsing Ultimate - it's not finished yet
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Dropped this:
Soul Eater

So that leaves these...
Outlaw Star - have it downloaded already, will probably watch it
RahXephon - looks interesting
Break Blade - looks pretty good, though it's retarded how MAL breaks it down into 6 different releases
[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control - looks interesting
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - I feel like I'd probably need to rewatch all the other Gundams first o_O
xxxHolic - not sure that this is what I'm looking for

I'll have to check those out and see if there's any I'm interested in. I have Outlaw Star downloaded already, a friend suggested it awhile back...

For Gundam Unicorn, you don't need to know much about the past series as its only about its current era. I'd strongly recommend it as it has a great dub and beautiful fight scenes, and the story is good too.

Tiffanys · « **Reply #58 on:** September 12, 2013, 07:54:51 AM »

So um... Anyone have any more recommendations that match this? I ran out so I haven't really watched much anime to speak of since.

Gh0st93 · « **Reply #59 on:** September 12, 2013, 08:06:19 AM »

Admittedly not sure if it was mentioned but.... Devil May Cry the animated series.
