I donât usually watch anime but I did love Avatar : The Last Airbender/The Legend Of Aang although I wouldnât call it anime but if you guys are looking for a good show which is story driven and has a lot of character development with some great action then this is it.
If you are looking for some anime with funk , its Samurai Champloo . it is one of the greatest . if its Mystical things that intrest you , you cant go wrong with Bleach .
Some good animeâs are Full Metal Alchemist , Basilisk and Black cat .
read my signature âŚnaruto Fillers over in 2 months , Yahoo!!!
Give it another shot from the first episode. Youâre missing out on the anime that pioneered the word âAnimeâ worldwide
will give dbz a try again lets see.
Avataar is an American made Anime. It is currently the most watched cartoon series in US, Naruto is ranked at number two. Avataar is still in its second season and unlike Naruto which releases every week, Avataar releases every 2 weeks. So there will be only 26 episodes per year. I belive that there are 5 books to be covered, and every season is based on one book. Every season is 20 episodes, so one can expect another 2 years+ before the series end.
I kinda find this boringâŚInstead I will wait and then watch all at one go.
Naruto is currently at episode 214 and 219 supposly will be the last filler after which it will resume its story based on Manga. There will be a timeshiftâŚthe new Naruto starts in Feb 2006 and the series will be called Naruto Hurricane Chronicles.
The name change format is similar to Dragon Ball series, where it is DB-Z and DB-GT. DBZ is currently no where near to todays standards, if you see Naruto or any other good anime before DBZ, then you wont like DBZ. But, one is forgetting that DB started the Fighting Anime KrazeâŚsimilar to 36 Chamber of ShaolinâŚOne can easily say that Dragon Ball is the inspiration to all the fighting anime made afterwards.
Just for kicks, the first epsiode of Dragon Ball was aired over 25 years ago. It was mind blowing during that time.
Has Deathnote been mentioned in this thread? Its my fav anime..no mindless fighting and powerups and jitsus..instead u will find one genius pitted against another in a battle of the wits. The manga is complete and two live-action motion pictures are out. The anime has recently started with 11 episodes released till date.
Yeah forgot to mention DeathNote, its one damn cool anime i have seen, thanks to smith :).
@Quad watch Death Note, youâll like it 
True. DBZ was the first anime to include time travel, alternate universe, ki blasts, powerups and transformations, it was like the first everything.
its old now. DBZ started airing in 1990 and finished by 1995 in Japan!!
Got it. It was ghost in the shell. Gonna see if I can get my hands on it now.
As I said I would not call Avatar anime but it has certain anime influences.
Avatar has finished its second season, third season is due next year but we do not have a date yet. As for books the original creators intended for there to be 3 but there is speculation of that being extended.
Avatar is far more interesting than of the other anime I have ever seen.Naruto is absolute junk.
Has anyone seen Monster here? Itâs the best I have seen in a LONG time. Probably not for the dbz/naruto crowd but for people wanting something different and something youâll have to put some thought into, itâs a MUST.
Other MUST WATCH animes (you have to watch these):
Berserk
Kenshin (upto the end of kyoto arc, avoid the later eps like a plague)
FMA
Hajime no ippo (not much talked about but every bit as good as the others)
monster is great
no super heros, no super powers, no nothing
just a deranged genius and a doctor racked by guilt and a mysterious past are needed for a good story
ive watched hajime no ippo twice including all the manga, 40 somthing volumes out if im not wrongâŚsame with berserk
no votes for one piece yet? [do not watch the tv 4kids version please!]
heres a list of some of the stuff i have burnt on dvds if anyones interested

In 1997 i watched a series called NinkuâŚquite liked it. Liked Samurai Champloo very muchâŚNaruto is kind of kiddish but still enjoyable!
The rurouni kenshin anime is a goddamn joke compared to the manga.
Trust me, rurouni kenshin manga >>>> anything else on the planet.
Next comes Berserk, but itâs a manga since 1984 and only 30 or so volumes have been released and still going onâŚbtw itâs an 18+ manga
my favs anime series uptil now
deathnote
beck
kenshin
naruto
getbackers
âŚ
i recommend all of u to watch deathnote(12 eps released so far) and beck(26 eps total).
