^ melancholy

skip the second season XD
having 8 exactly same episodes is lame.

Brotherhood is undoubtedly better than the original FMA.

Also yes, Outlaw Star is fantastic. For the people who want some random taste of Nostalgia:

:3 I hear toonami

Agreed, watch the first season and then stop (or watch the first episode of the second season, understand the next six episodes are identical, and then skip to the eighth episode).

I wish the same guy that did the first season had done the second season too.


No it isn't. It follows the manga more faithfully, which may get it more fans, but that doesn't make it better. Brotherhood is terrible at creating any kind of serious or moving atmosphere of any kind. The original is much darker and actually conveys the feeling of two people that have lost everything struggling against a corrupt world to regain just a sliver of what was theirs.

I'd say the only things Brotherhood have going for it are the fact that it takes place on a grander scale (which simultaneously detracts from it by taking the focus off the main protagonists), and the fact that it has a lot of fights all the time. You know, the latter being a benefit if you just want to watch a lot of fights all the time.

Although I gave both versions of FMA a 10/10, I know I enjoyed watching the original quite a bit more.

Most of my other recommendations have already been mentioned, but I'll throw two more in here:

Clannad & Clannad: After Story



Angel Beats!


I'm not normally a slice-of-life fan, but both of these series made me shed manly tears. I suggest marathoning through both of them; you can find their 1080p encodes at Coalgirls.

Slice of life in Japan

.. he forgot the two keywords.

Fate/Zero is awesome. I watched like 12 episodes in a single sitting early this morning.

/e Finished the entire thing now (or at least the two seasons), was definitely worth the recommendation.

Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Slayers, Tenchi Muyo (avoid GXP), and Trigun are all great.
They are mostly funny; sometimes serious...

If you wanted straight up goofy you could go with Hetalia, but only my lady friends seem to like it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it


I was going to recommend this myself, but I thought he'd already seen it. Upon rechecking the original post, it seems he's only seen the movie.

That being the case, I'll add that you should watch the series as well.

No one likes Escaflowne?

Escaflowne

Cowboy Bebop is incredibly serious and sometimes funny. I couldn't have been the only person to cry at the end of the season.

It is played off seriously, but there is humor in all the episodes.

I would say there is more serious than humor
