TFARCHIVE FORUMS

So,

Im really get back in to my anime at the moment and I want some recommendations.... But I have some requirements -

I prefer OVAS/Standalone movies to series (with some exceptions), and I like it to be pretty violent, actiony, some blood and guts maybe... Heres some of my faves to show what my taste is -

Guyver (early 90s series), Akira, Ninja Scroll, Appleseed (the two newer and the older one), Blood the Last Vampire, Patlabor.... and some other stuff that escapes my mind...

Anyone have any recommendations??

...watch A Contact/Be Invoked first.

Most are shows.*denotes movie or has a move to the series.
(I've watched way to many to name all.)

Blood & Guts-> Gantz / Elfin Lied /*Hulk Vs. Wolverine (was pretty violent)
*Afro Samurai (series + movie- both rock, sadly the RZA dies like a chump)
Don't know if you saw Samurai Champaloo, but it's fun.
*Dead Space ( Animated movie prequel to the game, I think.)

*Jin-Roh / *Cowboy Bebop / GunXSword (EL Dorado00OO!!!!)
Code Geass / *Death Note / Xam'd / Persona / Ikki Tousen

The best for last - the most epic - greatest - supreme - ultimate -
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

G Gundam.

As always:

Ghost in the Shell
Ghost in the Shell: Innocence
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2ndgig
Ghost in the Shell SAC: Solid State Society

First two are movies that tie in together
Second two are the two seasons of the Actual show that are separate from the first two films
The last one is a movie in the same continuity as the TV show.

Cowboy bebop and Trigun, two anime shows that will change and enrich your life.... oh and hulk vs wolverine has slight leanings towards japanese anime but is worth it just for deadpool being all cool...

The Animatrix is actually pretty good; sadly it seems to have been looked over by most (probably as a result of overexposure from the Matrix sequels).
