Why I feel I have just watched my last anime...

"Just who the hell do you think I am?!"

It's NOT as serious as most of your choices (in fact, it's quite comedic, much of the time) but if you haven't seen at least the 1st few episodes of TTGL, you're missing out.  Amazing action, very good animation, and a plot that almost always out-tops itself every single episode (there are a couple of more reflective eps) without ever quite fully descending into parody = amazing fun, imo.

Plus it has facebots.  That's right, bots that are themselves gigantic heads, that have heads!  Yes, bizarre recursion references means a good deal to the plot =) .

As noted above, Tiger and Bunny is also quite good, and similarly captures that fine line between comedy and drama (but leaning more to drama than TTGL).

CappinHoff:
This is the saddest and funniest rant I've ever read. You can tell you didn't pay much attention to the Anime or do any sort of external research as most of your questions in the spoiler tags have been answered. You all need to know that animes rarely tell the full story that you get in the manga. You need to read them or do some searching to find your answers. But why complain about a show then ended 1 season after 25 ep? It's a new series this is what happens. They put out the manga, make an anime of the manga, end the anime and let the manga proceed on for a bit then repeat with another season. I could see this rant if the anime never finished, but have some patience.

Good voice acting (some disagree but I don't), as well as good amounts action/violence, romance and in the later arc; very good visuals amongst a million other things. But sure it's a AAA series with a huge budget.

- By comparison - FMA (at the time of watching there was no second season released) was in lower quality, had infuriating characters (Alphonse), minimal character development and it ended abruptly. Hence the 7/10, to be honest I think it was fair. Apparently 'FMA, Brotherhood' is meant to be a whole ton better and I have, at many times considered going back and re-watching the whole thing from start to finish but I haven't got around to it as generally I've always felt it's better to just start on something new.

There are no second season of FMA, FMA brotherhood is a reboot that adopt the whole manga instead of going down an original route 15-20 episode into it. A thing that would help you finding anime you like would be if you do 5 minutes research on the series, to save you wasting a lot of time watching something that isn't in your taste. Like you would have zero need of re watching FMA, since FMA:B isn't sequel, plus FMA doesn't end abruptly, it finish off with a movie called Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa. Your watching experience would improve a lot if you just looked at the relation of the anime on the MAL page.

I wont comment on your understanding on animation quality and good VA, since there is no reason to discus that, so I will move on to this.


--- Quote ---Fair call, but let me just say what about "Characters" and "Plot holes"? By plot holes I mean what I said about leaving certain specific plot details unanswered (in SNK's case, 95% of them).

--- End quote ---
Are all plotholes answered in Naruto? no, since it is an ongoing manga it is adopting, expecting SNK to answer the plotholes already now makes no sense, sense with it is also an ongoing manga.


--- Quote ---As many others have said it's incredibly easy to dislike something for one very specific thing that really starts to overshadow everything else. Googling around and seeing no definitive proof that the series will be renewed, with seriously MANY saying that it might not regardless of popularity (we all know that CAN happen). It can be a huge deal-breaker.

Here is the thing
1. when the season 1 finished it had adopted over 60% of the manga. They don't have enough material to adopt for a second 25 episode season.
2. the mangaka have announced that his story will be on 20volumes, where he have completed 11-12 of them so far. The studio will wait to a time, where they can start to adopt the rest, without there being to much time between each season, so they might do either season 2 (25 epsiode) season 3(13 episodes) | season 2 (13 epsiode) season 3(25 episodes) to cover all 20 Vol.
3. Fillers wont work well for this series, together with the manga being a monthly release schedule instead of weekly.
4. You can always, you know read the manga if it is an issue.
5. The mangaka have announced he will be remarking his original ending he had planned, since it would be a bit to dark for an anime adoption. This mean it is very likely the rest will be animated, considering it is really popular.

Since you are "new" to anime you have been mostly watching anime that have finished already, so you aren't used to anime have multiple seasons, where you still have to wait for the next season and hope it gets aired/animated. This seem to be a huge issue for you, when answering of plotholes is important to you, and you aren't interested in reading the material it is adopted from. It also seem to me that complex character isn't something you appreciate, and instead you want more simple characters that develop more personality over time for character development.

If I should make a recommendation, it would be one piece. And my recommendation would be to read the manga, since it would be a good experience for you to try to read the media that often gets adopted together with you saying you had "given up" on anime. To save you some time, yes it is ongoing in the style of naruto, not like the attack on titans.[/list][/list]

I don't see how can you compare Naruto and FMA. Okay, they are both shounen, but the difference in the whole theme and genres is huge. There was a time when I was a huge fan of Naruto myself, but those times have passed away with Naruto becoming totally shitty with endless fillers and flahsbacks and manga taking a route I hate. As well as Naruto's animation only leaves you wish for the better. It has gotten even worse since Pain's arc.

Anyways, FMA Original series dates back to 2003, and the animation style and quality for those times is pretty much brilliant. Whilst Naruto got to 2013 and it's animation quality and style keeps going down. On another note, even though FMA Original series made up a story different from that of manga I still find it amazing and heart-breathing.

Now about Brotherhood. Maaaaaaaaaan, it's the top ranking anime on MAL, second top ranking on AP and AniDB. Animation style and quality are splendid, story and character development is even better.

And if you say Alphonse is a shitty character (just like you call Rivaille "prick") you certainly have to overlook the qualities you value in people (be they fictional characters or real people whom you know).

Either way, my point is: don't compare FMA to Naruto.


I am going to say what almost everybody else said, don't watch something based on their rating, read the summary or something before actually watching something. Check the genres.

And finally I'd also recommend you One Piece as well as probably Fairy Tail. Also a long-run series with an ongoing manga.

froody1911:
Fairy Tail, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach: generic endless, brainless, tasteless shows. I don't think anyone over 16 has any business watching either of them.

FMA was merely above average (the art was good though). FMAB was quite good but nothing earth-shattering like everyone always says it is.

True facts.
