3 awesome anime you (probably) haven't watched

Tweet

Anime, there's a lot of it, most are crap, we can't like everything, there are things we just read the description and go all "This is BS" and things that seem ok but turn out stupid (personal opinion example: Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~). Anyway, to the point, some of what we leave out (or ignore) could be potentially awesome. Let's see some of those anime that I think need a little more attention: Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (When They Cry - Higurashi) ------------------------- Truth is I can understand why you wouldn't watch this, its animation is simply horrible at some points (read: 90% of the time). However I think people should ignore that and watch it anyway. Its slow at the beginning but I can guarantee that if you like Mindf*cks you will like this. So basically it goes like this: You are introduced to a story, then everyone dies and you're back at the beginning again only things are different this time around. I don't wanna spoil anything but yeah...only one character knows whats really going on and they try to find a way to escape this endless loop that has gone on for more than a hundred years. I highly recommend the visual novel (which is being translated by both fans AND professional translators at this very moment) or the manga, the anime's second season is arguably better than the first animation-wise but the story turns from a horror anime to a drama driven tear jerker type of thing at some point....yeah...I highly recommend going to tvtropes.org and looking up "High Octane Nightmare Fuel", then from there click the link to all the Higurashi listing...yup, its got a whole page...have fun...the manga can be found at onemanga.com and the visual novel is being translated by manga-gamer and scheduled for an october release but the fan translation is already available at sonozakifutagotachi.blogspot.com THE VISUAL NOVEL/MANGA/ANIME CONTAIN NO ADULT CONTENT SO THEY ARE SAFE FOR EVERYONE TO READ/WATCH. Ghost Hunt ---------- If you're into the supernatural and haven't watched Ghosthunt then you should commit harakiri in shame. This series isn't about your usual bishonen anime hero with a sword that purifies lost souls by kicking the everloving cr@p out of them. If you don't know about ghost hunting then let me tell you its a real occupation and that's what the main characters in this show are, Ghost Hunters. The show works like a detective story type of thing. Someone hires them and they go to the place in question set up a bunch of tools like infrared cameras and the like and there is also some action. What I didn't like about the anime is the way it ended and the fact there isn't any season 2 on the horizon...It was originally a novel which is (or should I say was since its been months of inactivity) being translated by sinmay from baka-tsuki.net, it can be found at baka-tsuki.net and sinmay.livejournal.com. The amount of stuff the anime left from the novel is big, 25 episodes just aren't enough, they practically leave it in the middle and don't tell us about a WHOLE LOT of things AND leave out the whole romance thing between Mai and Gene/Naru (you won't find out who Gene is in the anime but you will see him many times). There's also a manga which is ongoing bu there's no been anything in quite a while. Keroro Gunsou (Sgt Frog) ------------- So we go from a Horror, Mystery, Violence, Mind*uck, Drama, whatnot show to a Supernatural, Horror, Mystery, Detectives type of thing show and the what's up next? A parody series! Keroro Gunsou is about some aliens that came to invade the earth, its just that they suck and ended up living with the humans. It doesn't help that they look like stuffed animal frogs...the show has to be seen to be believed...its amazingly funny and its one of the things that make you say "WTF is this" when you read the description but if you actually watch (and you should) you'll realize its very funny. There's many more shout outs than in Lucky Star and Yakitake! Japan combined. The show is still ongoing with more than 270 episodes, the only problem is that there aren't any subs after episode 124 (I think) but some good enough people on youtube have subbed some episodes like xtamamachanx or kerorodaigunsou. The manga is ongoing but I don't really like it... Anyway do yourself a favour and check them out...Just some of my recommendations, if you can't find anything you like then ask me, I've watched a lot of anime, tell me your interests and I'll tell you what I think you should watch...
