Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ConcernedCitizen: I know you guys are more interested in the new shows being released, but are there any older shows you might recommend for someone fairly new to anime? I'm almost finished with Ergo Proxy, which I've really enjoyed so far, and could use some more recommendations like that. It looks like it was from 2006-2007, which is what got me thinking about older anime series that might not get mentioned much anymore. What are your favorite older anime? Elfen Lied (2004). Very violent with at least one episode being pretty "wholesome." This was actually the first anime I watched on my own. I saw the cover and thought it'd be about cute cat girls. It wasn't.  |

Because I would recommend anything with a current following. Close to ergo proxy... So cyberpunk, Utopian/post apocolyptic. Ghost in the shell Psycho Pass Appleseed Cowboy Beebop Shinmoneta Steins Gate. I would suggest more but that seems to be most of the stuff I have in my head that loosely fits the theme. |

I am not familiar with Ergo Proxy but I see that it is available on Funimation so I will check it out. I don’t have a lot of experience with older anime series - the ones that I know have probably been mentioned here many times, such as “Serial Experiments Lain” and the entire Monogatari series (such as “Bakemonogatari”), but if by chance you haven’t seen them, they are well worth seeking out. |

I'm more curious about shows that are no longer mentioned because everyone else has already seen them. My biggest problem is having to guess at which titles might be good, or stop and read every single description. I've already burned through most of the descriptive titles like Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town and Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered But Overly Cautious. This thread has been a great source of recommendations. If it gets mentioned here, it goes on the list (for the most part). Serial Experiments Lain is currently on that list, and I really enjoyed Spice & Wolf. Keep the recommendations coming! |

It has a similar plot, but it's not as good, IMO. Still very watchable though. |

I'm not keen on jumping back and forth between different series and episodes, so I've been avoiding those so far. |

Similarly, ‘nisemono’ means ‘a fake’ so if you smash that one with ‘monogatari’ I guess that it ends up sounding like a story about fake things, etc. |

I like the very descriptive and straightforward ones, but have no clue about most of the Japanese titles. I'm just guessing at this point...

I'm not keen on jumping back and forth between different series and episodes, so I've been avoiding those so far. Fate is a really good series and definitely worth the effort it’s actually pretty simple once explained In the main line series there are only 2 different wars that happened but the second one was told 3 different ways basically the original source material was a visual novel and you could take 3 different paths depending on which female protagonist you focused on Sabers route (fate stay night) Rins route (Unlimited blade works) and Sakuras route(Heavens feel) So Fate/Zero happened and then FSN, UBW and HF happened at the same time Fate Stay Night was the first to get an anime and it’s the only one not made by Ufotable so it’s really not nearly as good as other ones There’s 2 watch orders either watch Fate Stay Night first then Watch Fate/Zero (as a prequel) then watch either UBW or Heavens feel next it doesn’t matter witch way Or just skip over Fate Stau Night (no biggie) and do Fate Zero then UBW/Heavens Feel All othe Fate anime are spin offs they have some loose connections with the main series but can be watched in any order BTW Fate/Zero 2 season anime, UBW is a 2 season anime or condensed movie version and Heavens Feel is a movie trilogy I saw Heavens Feel 1 in theaters and that was such a cool experience this films look incredible @iliketatertots just curious what’s your take on this? |

If it's been mentioned in the last 50 pages or so, odds are it's either been watched already or is on the watch list. That's why I thought I would ask about older anime that may not get discussed as frequently. |

Not sure if we have ever discussed Death Parade it’s pretty dark (duh lol) and the premise is really unique but any explanation would spoil ep1 it’s the type of show that if I can get someone to watch the first episode then they’ll be hooked and it’s nice and short |

I might as well suggest one more that is probably not on anyone’s list of the best-ever anime series, but might nevertheless be worth watching:
The Asterisk War (2015) It was actually the first-ever anime series that I watched - so it introduced me to a lot of anime tropes, such as high-school-age girls from rich and powerful families who have big boobs and flamboyant hairstyles, sporting special skills and outsized egos, who attend elite schools in sci-fi-futuresque city-states where they train to compete in massively popular tournaments using huge and ridiculously overpowered and sentient weapons, while also competing for the attention of an improbably skillful but hopelessly socially inept male student as he somehow manages to build his harem while accidentally doing serial faceplants in the girl students’ boobs, making lots of faux pas related to taboos such as entering the girls’ dorms, or ending up getting into unwise fight-to-the-death duels, or attracting unwanted attention from powerful criminal gangs, and so on and so forth. Not that there’s anything wrong with that… |

The order that they were released is A Certain Magical Index season 1 A Certain Scientific Railgun season 1 A Certain Magical Index season 2 A Certain Scientific Railgun season 2 A Certain Magical Index season 3 A Certain Scientific Railgun season 3 A Certain Scientific Accelerator is somewhere near the end of that list. I don't recall exactly when it came out in relation to the third seasons of the other two, and haven't gotten around to watching it, yet. Railgun and Accelerator are both spinoffs of Index. If you want to watch Index and Railgun in the chronological order of the events that happen in them, it is roughly A Certain Scientific Railgun season 1 A Certain Magical Index season 1 A Certain Scientific Railgun season 2 A Certain Magical Index season 2 A Certain Scientific Railgun season 3 A Certain Magical Index season 3 |

Not that there’s anything wrong with that… The Asterisk War was great! Have you seen Chivalry of a Failed Knight? It felt like a cheap knock-off to me. I just remembered another older anime I really enjoyed, Last Exile. It was a bit slow at times, but the aerial dogfights were cool! I also really enjoyed Akudama Drive and Dimension W. I'm pretty much a sucker for anything Steampunk, Cyberpunk, or sci-fi... *Edit* Oh, and Mechs! Knight's and Magic was awesome!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JPN: The order that they were released is A Certain Magical Index season 1 A Certain Scientific Railgun season 1 A Certain Magical Index season 2 A Certain Scientific Railgun season 2 A Certain Magical Index season 3 A Certain Scientific Railgun season 3 A Certain Scientific Accelerator is somewhere near the end of that list. I don't recall exactly when it came out in relation to the third seasons of the other two, and haven't gotten around to watching it, yet. Railgun and Accelerator are both spinoffs of Index. If you want to watch Index and Railgun in the chronological order of the events that happen in them, it is roughly A Certain Scientific Railgun season 1 A Certain Magical Index season 1 A Certain Scientific Railgun season 2 A Certain Magical Index season 2 A Certain Scientific Railgun season 3 A Certain Magical Index season 3 And that's exactly why I've been avoiding it so far...

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Liaztraht: True, some get pretty rough, though the older ones in this list are done pretty well for the time. A great old one, unrelated to these, is Golden Boy. It's a great goofy comedy. Great boob animation in the first episode https://media2.giphy.com/media/AFvZhiuq9Rqu1CLASo/giphy.webp?cid=6c09b9525dbfa11d50fd10540bf1ef2dc4c5a553ed58073b&rid=giphy.webp&ct=g Nothing beats KonoSuba for boob animation!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ConcernedCitizen: If it's been mentioned in the last 50 pages or so, odds are it's either been watched already or is on the watch list. That's why I thought I would ask about older anime that may not get discussed as frequently. Full Metal Panic! (near future sci-fi with mercenaries fighting terrorists and a dash of high school romantic comedy, released about two decades ago), followed by Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (released a year or two after the first season), Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (released a couple years later), and Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory (released 3 or 4 years ago, after most people had given up on there being another season). |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ConcernedCitizen: Originally Posted By targetworks: I might as well suggest one more that is probably not on anyone’s list of the best-ever anime series, but might nevertheless be worth watching: The Asterisk War (2015) It was actually the first-ever anime series that I watched - so it introduced me to a lot of anime tropes, such as high-school-age girls from rich and powerful families who have big boobs and flamboyant hairstyles, sporting special skills and outsized egos, who attend elite schools in sci-fi-futuresque city-states where they train to compete in massively popular tournaments using huge and ridiculously overpowered and sentient weapons, while also competing for the attention of an improbably skillful but hopelessly socially inept male student as he somehow manages to build his harem while accidentally doing serial faceplants in the girl students’ boobs, making lots of faux pas related to taboos such as entering the girls’ dorms, or ending up getting into unwise fight-to-the-death duels, or attracting unwanted attention from powerful criminal gangs, and so on and so forth.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight is a new one for me - I see that it is available on HiDive so I will plan to watch it. I have watched Last Exile, and as I recall I really liked the airplane and airship designs, but somehow don’t remember much beyond that. |

Oh @ConcernedCitizen
Black Lagoon might be right up your alley. Not scifi or anything, but a good action anime with a great story and gun play. |

They're always on my rewatch list, along with anime like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo (currently rewatching Champloo between the new shows) which are also great older ones everyone needs to see. |
