There is some very good animes around. The one I liked most is Naruto (Shippuden) for its character development, story and action,

Naruto was good, for about 60 episodes. After that it was all the same shit, over and over again. There’s actually very little charactar development in there…

I also reccomend Ninja Scroll (both the film and the series, it’s better to watch the film first).

There really are a lot of good animes out there.[/quote]

I didn’t feel that at all. I thought they developed very well over the series. Shippuden, the sequel, was better than the original though.

I really liked all the awesome characters in Naruto. There was so many of them, and you could relate to most of them. I had a big smile on my face everytime Rock Lee appeared, he is the best character of any anime I have ever seen. :smiley: I also liked that super-lazy super-intelligent kid :slight_smile:

Try Shura no Toki. It’s about 3 generations of a family of non-weapon-using fighters and how they get about to defeating the best (samurai) of their times. It blends a number of historical characters into the show, the most notable being Miyamoto Musashi. I thought it was pretty badass.

Gungrave, Getbackers, Tenjou Tenge, Rurouni Kenshin, Ikkitousen and Airmaster are all entertaining watches as well. Aside from Gungrave, these are all battle-orioented shows. Heads up: Don’t watch Ikkitousen when there are other people around!

Other shows that didn’t particularly hook me up: Blade of the Immortal, Queen’s Blade, Samurai Deeper Kyo. All these shows bored me out after the first 5-6 episodes, but you might like them. If you like Basilisk you’ll probably enjoy Blade of the Immortal.

Not fighting or violence related, but if you even remotely like Baseball, Major is a must see.

There’s also a new show called Pandora Hearts, it might not be so much about fighting but it looks promising.

Another samurai-type that has recently been airing is Examurai Sengoku, I only saw the first 3 episodes but it looks OK. Supposedly the characters are drawn versions of the creators or something (Exile Group) - Examurai Sengoku (TV) - Anime News Network.

I left out the shows already mentioned, but there are some damned good ones in the bunch. Berserk seems quite popular here. I thought it was very good save for the ending which totally creeped me out. And the manga is downright sick, in all senses of the word.[/quote]

If you like samurai stuff, Vagabond is good

and your missing a lot of berserk if you only watched the anime, the anime stop at chapter 100, theres 304 chapter out right now, the anime is just an introduction, it get less creepy as the story goes on

Agreed - the anime cuts a lot out, and leaves you with a fucking huge cliffhanger. I was so ravenous for more after seeing the anime, I pretty much devoured all the online mangas in a matter of days, and then joined the thousands if not millions of people eagerly awaiting each new release.

I also want to build a plate loaded sword like training device in an attempt to be able to swing around a 7 foot long 200lb sword…yeahhhhh that’d be sweeeeet…

Knowing this I will most definitely watch this. I hope I don’t kill a week of my life to watch it though…
