What Anime Series Should I Watch Next?

Hey, whats up Hexgear ?

Its nice to hear from guys like you out there. It makes us hope that the anime section of Nairaland is not completely dead yet.

Well now down to your qestion. Here are my views:-

1. Naruto and Naruto Shippudeen

It goes without saying that Naruto is by far one of the most popular anime out there right now. Its gots lots of comedy, the fighting sequences are not too bad, lots of history about the world of the Shinobi (Ninja), and good storyline. The filler episodes are not too bad either. Therefore, Naruto is No. 1 on my list of Anime to see.

2. Bleach

The next competitor to Naruto and also another action packed anime series. This anime though is not about Ninjas but closely resembling the world of the Samurai. Revovles around spirits, the afterlife and such other issues. Though i must emphasize that the action sequences in Bleach is a hell of a lot more explosive than Naruto and the principal method of fighting is using a sword (Zanpaktou) which has unique abilities to each individual.

3. Hellsing

This is another good anime though its a lot older (i think it was made in the earlier 90's). This one revovles around the world of vampires and other undead creatures. A particular vampire called Alucard is unique among vampires and belongs to an organisation that kills vampires and other creatures. Hellsing is a lot more bloody and adult than the other animes.

4. Blood +

This anime revolves around creatures that look like werewolves.  The main character is a girl that has the only skills to kill these creatures and her blood is toxic to them. Incidentally, she has a twin sister who is evil and their mother was one of the original werewoles. This anime series is whacked as far as i am concerned. the storyline is rubbish, action seqences is just slice and cut with no magic or any spells used. Infact just leave this one.

5. DeathNote

This is a must see anime for all intellectuals and good thinkers. Though this anime is not an action series, this series is unique in the fact that is has the best script, an storyline in a japanese anime so far that i have seen. It all has to do with a note that when you write the name of a person he dies immediately. A student finds it and determines to rule the world with it by killing all bad people. This a very good anime and i highly recommend it.

Well, i have contributed my 2 cents worth. Ma guys, where are you all ? Make you na help this guy abeg. Peace. Out

Whats up Gbade.X, Grafikdon and all my homies on the anime section ? Wetin dey happen now my brothers. We no dey hear from you guys again.

You are welcome and it was nice to talk to somebody again.

@echowords:

Hey man, thanks a lot for the suggestion on Basilisk. I looked it up on Wikipedia and I only needed to read the first couple of lines from the premise before I got intrigued; I mean Feudal Japan, Ninja's, The Shogun, Hattori Hanzo, what more do you need! Plus like you said it's only 24 episodes and not ongoing so it should be nice and simple to download, watch and wrap up.

Concerning One Piece; see I admire the Japanese Manga and Anime Authors and Producers for being able to take everyday, seemingly mundane activities and concepts like Boxing, Tennis, Racing, Samurai, School, etc (in this case Pirating) and tipping it on its head and flipping it 360 degrees, taking a fresh approach and breathing new life into it. I’ve never seen an Anime so funny yet so serious, although it’s centered on pirates it has everything from bad-ass Samurai’s to maniacal clowns, Capoeira using Chefs to Gods of thunder etc all in the mix. You just got to watch it to understand it but I bet you that you won't be disappointed.

P.S. There's a reason why it's number 9 on this list of the top 200 Anime. Whether it's you cup of tea or not I’ll leave to your own discretion. Thanks again.

@ hexgear, you MUST add the following to your list:

Ghost In S Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Death Note
Trinity Blood
Eureka 7
The Boondocks (well not exactly 'anime' but it is well worth it)

@samir101ng, I dey for ground o my brother, but mostly active in  Graphics and Politics (really wasting precious time in that section). Besides, I've been cooking up quite a lot of gigs lately (animation of course! ) and ready to exhale. . . (kick web azz series  )
