Anime

[FrancesFloyd]

Can anyone recommend a good anime series to read?? I love Naruto, Bleach, Sword Art Online, and Soul Eater.

The attack on titan manga is excellent and should be caught up on immediately!

World Trigger is pretty good, but not many people have heard of it.

I love Pandora Hearts and 07 Ghost. Pandora Hearts is loosely influenced by Alice and Wonderland and is an emotional journey to find lost memories, a reason for existing, friendships, remembering the past, and overcoming the past. 07 Ghost, in my opinion, doesn't get enough recognition (though this could be said of many great manga). 07 Ghost is about strong friendships, remembering the past, military versus church (where the 7 ghosts reside), magic, journey to save souls, finding hope, courage, and overcoming obstacles. The 7 ghosts are based off of German folklore and in the story their job is to punish Verloren, God's most perfect creation, for killing the Chief of Heaven's daughter. My descriptions don't do either of my recommendations justice. Sorry for writing too much.

Double the recommendation on Pandora Hearts and 07 Ghost. InuYasha, maybe? Or Hell Girl is a really interesting one: it brings eras together and explores the human condition and the reasons someone would sentence themselves to hell for the chance to send somebody else there... The Higurashi/Umineko series is great too (you'll have to look it up; I couldn't possibly give you a one sentence summary) , but you'll need to read the manga for Umineko because the anime only covers the first one or two volumes. Sunday Without God is an fascinating one too: "god" has taken away death except via a grave-digger, so people are torn between living, being undead, or seeking death.

Nice to meet you Jasmine M Wardiya! It's exciting to meet you a fellow fan of both of my top favorite anime/manga. I think manga is often better because the anime either catches up and creates filler episodes or they stop before the series is even finished. Anime often times will create its own ending or leave it at a cliffhanger.

Another favorite of mine is Yona of the Dawn. If you like a story about a girl growing stronger and dragons it might just be the right anime for you, though you really should check out the manga too. Aoharu x Machinegun is an interesting anime I really enjoy. I really recommend Charlotte its about people with abilities and a school that protects them from the government. It is really deep and meaningful. It's a good thing this isn't about manga because I could pull up a long list of the stories I have read.

Hi DancingSouls! Nice to meet you too!

Charlotte is another favourite of mine (actually, I love all of KEY's stuff). Angel Beats is another fun one from them: a school in the afterlife where the limit is your mind, but all of KEYs stuff has some element of magic/fantasy (except maybe Planeterian which is more sci-fi/dystopian)...

[DancingSouls]

I quite love Angel Beats as well, but Charlotte's story was crafted so beautifully it passed Angel Beats. I love the hilarious scenes in Angle Beat. I find the limits of the mind to be such a fascinating theme.

Death Note, xxxholic, black butler, and chibi devi!. Also if you're still sad with the deaths that happen in Naruto, you should watch Naruto SD.

[karolinka]

Oh my god, I can recommend so many! Right now, I am reading "Deadman Wonderland" anime- it is violent, but well drawn well and written. Plenty of fighting scenes and action.

[Camogirl217]

Rurouni Kenshin is a classic, of course. I'm currently reading Until Death Do Us Part. It's about a blind swordsman living in modern times and a precognitive girl who runs to him for help. I also enjoyed Miriam (it's set in the old west), Samurai Deeper Kyo (supernatural, sword fighting), Dengeki Daisy (romance), Fruit Basket....these are all longer manga. I usually stick to shorter ones.

[Jasmine M Wardiya]

If you're looking at anything by CLAMP (like xxxHolic), the mangas have interconnected storylines in a way the animes (except Tsubasa) has tried to avoid, so the plots wind up varying more than the usual manga/anime adaption differences. If the plots interest you, I'd watch/read both versions...especially X/1999 where they rewrite the end entirely (namely because the manga hasn't reached its end, but still...)

[V-20]

You should try Death Note

[A Y reviews]

I love these titles. Seen some of them in movies too

Hi! Demon Slayer has been really good recently, you might want to check that out.
