I keep on watching the same action, bloody gore animies over and over again, and when time comes, when you had enough of it, you get bored of seeing the same anime constantly. For me, anyhow, I watch a wide variety of action anime, probably every major action anime that was made since 2000-20004. I watch NGE RahXephon, Elfen Lied, Gantz, Full Metal Panic Series, Black Lion, Saiyuki Series, Get Backers, Inuyasha, S-cry-ed, Slayers, Noir, Madlax, E's Otherwise, Gravion Series, Robotech, Najica, Trigun, Gungrave, Samurai Champloo, Steel Angel Kurumi Series, R.O.D., Sakura Wars Series, and Samurai X movies/T.V. Series.
I was wondering if you could recommend similar animes to the ones I've just stated. |

You're really that violent huh. I think you should watch Ninja Scroll, Wrath of the Ninja, and Gunslinger Girl. Well I don't know what else because you watch almost all of them.There might be more but this is all I can think. Also try watching Fushigi Yuugi. All the ones I stated are violence so I think you should like them.

No Full Metal Alchemist? No matter what you like, you're bound to love FMA. The series' got a great story, a rather original premise, very interesting characters, great action, killer graphics, alot of style, a great soundtrack and good humor. And I'm sure I've forgotten a few other great traits about this series, I could actually go on and on about why FMA is so great. But I sugest you just go look up a few episodes, and don't shy away from the excellent english dub.
If you're interested in something of a graphical feast (albeit having an imo lesser quality storyline). I sugest you look up Last Exile, which is just incredible to behold. Another great series and my personal favorite is Wolf's Rain. You've just got to love all the characters involved in Wolf's Rain, mostly due to their superb presentation. The storyline is excellent just as much. I tend to put this series next to NGE and RahXephon, it's similar in style albeit not as confusingly deep as either.

Gunslinger Girl is more boring than violent. A really great anime that's packed with blood and gore is Berserk. Unlike most kill em all anime Berserk actually has a great story behind it, although the ending isn't all too great but you can continue with the manga which is worth every penny.. that is unless you've seen it already. I head the Ichi the Killer OVA is pretty violent but I havn't seen it yet. And if all out fails check out Monster, it's not even close to the bloodiest but it's the best anime I've ever seen... can't ever go wrong recommending this series. |

Gunslinger Girl is slower-paced and has more of an emphasis on character interaction and physical and mental changes than pure guts-spilling. Doesn't mean it's boring, just more deep. I actually found it very very entertaining.

I honestly don't see what's so bad about Berserk's ending. spoiler[Sure it gets never explained how he escapes, ] but next to that all the loose ends seemed to be tied.
EDIT: Talking about violence, isn't that new series called Basilisk extremely violent? |

I was expecting more of an action series when I heard about it and it let me down, tyhe same way Chrono Crusade did. It's not that their terrible series but I didn't expect them to be slow-paced.. especially since Gunslinger Girl is only 13 episodes. |

Yeah the same thing goes to me also just like Ghost in the Shell, but I find that the storyline of Gunslinger Girl is really interesting. |

Well, if you're that tired of them, why not go for the cute stuff like Fruits Basket, Angelic Layer, Pretear, Chobits, To Heart, Please Teacher. . .?
j/k, I know people have reasons for not liking those kinds of shows, so I'll give you some recommendations--Now and Then, Here and There is chock-full of human cruelty, and Texhnolyze should be violent enough for anyone's tastes. I mean, where else can you see spoiler[someone getting stabbed in the eye by another guy's artificial metal finger]? (Spoiler isn't really relevant to the plot of the series.) And, Scrapped Princess isn't a gorefest by any means (I just pimp it because it's my favorite show), but it has action, including swordfights and some fights similar to the giant robot battles of NGE and RahXephon--made by the same studio as RahXephon. |

I highly recommend a series called Airmaster. It isn't extremely violent but there is at least one fight in each episode and the way the main character fights is quite unique. I actually watched the whole series in one day from start to finish and its 27 episodes long so that means a lot.

i would never ever watch those shows unless nothingelse was on and to everybodyelse: First of all the only bloody show I stated was Elfen Lied, Samurai X, Gantz, Black Lion and the rest are just Martial Arts. I didn''t like FMA because his fighting is unique and after a while it gets boring. He touches something and pooff out comes a shotgun and he kills the guy with one hit. The only thing good about the show is the storyline and it's only popular in America because more kids watch it than teennagers and Adults and two games came out for it already. Also, I kinda of liked Chrono Crusade. Did you hate it because at the ending, spoiler[Chrono and Rosette died? ] And to the other ShinobiX, please change your name, i had it first.

Wow aren't you the rude one. First of all we don't need any excuses from the likes of you about why a show should or should not be good. If you don't like the popularity of a show just shut up about it and whine under your bed where no one else can be bothered with it. Anyhow, if Martial Arts is your thing, check out Cowboy Bebop, especially the movie. The fighting is pretty well done. |

How is disagreeing with you about one of your favorite shows being rude and if I'm not mistaken, I thought what I did was what this forum was all about so please enlighten me as soon as possible because I must know so I don't get kicked off and I have been doing what you call wrong since I got here. You're calling me rude, I think you better check yourself and look at a post you wrote in the thread topic of Can u compare to my anime list, can u ?(+120 gigs hd). I was being nice before, but I'll just say it straight, and I know this thread is probably going to be blocked for this but I think that FMA SUCKS and if you got a problem with that, you shut up, don't whine about it to me and I'm so sory if you don't like what I've stated because that's just the way life is and people will always disagree with you on certain topics. |

Disagreeing doesn't make you rude, the way in which you word it and represent yourself is what conveys that. You asked for recommendations and received them, you could just say some wouldn't interest you rather than going the extra mile to belittle them. Then the generalizations about FMA fans didn't really help either, I can say I know more teens to adults that enjoy FMA than kids. Basically, don't ask for opinions and then rip those opinions apart as asking in the first place demonstrates an open mind.
As for the other thread, I think his response in that thread was warranted considering the subject matter. People can disagree without saying it SUCKS, or by telling them they would only be interested if it were the only show on. People will disagree, it is the nature of a forum, but a certain degree of civility is expected as well. |
