New to anime! - anime_newbie - 10-08-2002
Hey all..
Since I'm new to anime (I've only seen and own Akira), I'm wondering where should I start? What films should I see first? Who are the best anime makers? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.

its all depends on your tastes... here's some of all time greatest:
Berserk (fighting, swords, blood, cutting of limbs etc)
Trigun (guns, western type future, funny)
Cowboy Bebop (guns, girls, beef rice, funny yet serious)
Irresponsible Captain Tylor (funny, funny, too funny, ouch my stomach hurts its so funny)
Spirited Away (classic, just hit theatres, own it now!)
many many more... all depends on your taste

Thanks!! That's really helpful!
Are there lots more that kind of resemble Akira? As in futuristic/post-apocalypse genre?
New to anime! - JunkieJoe - 10-08-2002
Try Berserk... its got that on the edge of apocalypse atmosphear but set in the medieval times.... Trigun got that post apocalypse but its a comedy more than anything else
Also Serial Experiments Lain got that Matrix type theme of questioning your own existance... which is one of main themes in Akira... but its kinda hard to find "resemble *title*" anime

Definetly own Berserk. It is to great a series not to see. Trigun is good it starts with comedy and ends with drama (much like the manga) For an adventure series go for One Piece its pirates on the high seas. Love Hina is a good romance comedy and also try Dragonball (tho there aren't any with japanese tracks yet) so get fansubs to hold you off. But that is just a few there are tons more great shows but these are all good stepping stones. 8O 8O

You guys are really awesome, thanks!
Now, I hope I'm not being a pain here but what are the best animes in the fantasy genre? i heard of The Slayers which looks pretty good.
Thanks again!!!

Record of lodoss war OAV is best
New to anime! - Steve_the_Talking_Pie - 10-08-2002
Definately check out Record of Lodoss War OAV and TV. Try Escaflowne. Gundam Wing is very cool. My favorites would have to be Maison Ikkoku, Kimagure Orange Road, Ranma 1/2, and Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha has a lot of fantasy type stuff in it. :mrgreen:

Since you liked Akira I think you should get Ghost in the Shell.
As for series definitly cowboy bebop and berserk . . . ohh and hellsing too.
You also might want to watch metropolis . . . even though I hated the style of animation.
New to anime! - DARK OSAMU - 10-08-2002
:twisted:HELL YEAH LODOSS WAR ROCKS :twisted:
I have the first set and it is FANTASTIC!!! I haven't seen the second one but heard it is great too. :twisted:
New to anime! - DARK OSAMU - 10-08-2002
:twisted: BERSERK IS FUCKING AWSOME TOO :twisted:
But if you get that BE PREPARED :evil: :evil: :evil: It hasn't been finished, but I hear they are in negotiations to pick it back up as we speak! :roll: BUT IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! 25 episodes of pure Behelit awsomeness! :twisted: GET IT NOW :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Yes slayers is a good anime to watch.. Also Record of Lodass Wars like JJ said.. And i will have to agree Beserk is a Must watch.. Others that i would also recommend is
Initial D (Only if you like cars)
Flame of Recca
Kimigure Orange Road
Kenshin (Another Must)
Ranma 1/2
Cowboy Bebop
Movies i think you should also watch Ninja Scroll, Ghost in teh Shell and Armitage III Poly Matrix.. Duel matrix is allright but they could of done alot better with it..
thats my short recommendation.. ;o) but there are so many others to watch also..
