UI'm so new I don't even know if this is the right board...I think I posted in the wrong place?

FMA is probably the best place for you to start if you like DBZ.

watch K-On & Lucky Star

What about 18 year olds who look like 9 year olds?

>>27235645

verrrry funny, I saw a photo of some fat weaboo surrounded by all his shit holding a copy of lucky star, so I'm won't be fooledthat easily.

as for K-on, let me order it online and get back to you.

Go watch Bakemonogatari

Go with the ones that are pretty much universally considered "good".

Cowboy Bebop
Last Exile
Trigun (maybe?) and I'm sure some others

Personally I'd recommend the Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal OVAs.
Death Note (until episode 28)
Welcome the NHK
Case Closed/Detective Conan

timotei

>>27235673
um...I'll play along, whatcha got?

>>27235683
>as for K-on, let me order it online and get back to you.

>>27235715

Lucky Star!

If you like mindfucks, Neon Genesis Evangelion is the classic recommendation. It's also so massively influential it's probably a good idea to watch it early, as well. Get the 1995 TV series + End of Evangelion if you do watch it, though, not the new Rebuild films.

>>27235611
plz stop spamming ur board on www.ånóñtálk.com ( remove dots n shit ) were tired of ur constant fuckin spam plus stop lying about at ok

Refer to the picture.

>>27235715
Lucky star, they're all supposed to be 18, that makes it so nobody needs to justify pedophilia to fap to them.

>>27235690

Death Note is good until the very end, stop being a fag.

OP here, general question about anime. DBZ was good, it had some badass moments and characters, but at the same time, had some really random shit, like talking pigs, weird ass characters and stuff. It was sorta crap. Is this just something you come to expect from all anime?


Also, is ghost in the shell a decent show? I remmeber playing the game on PS1 and liking it.

>>27235724
oh god, I loled

In no particular order:

General should see:
Baccano!
Planetes (watch and read)
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star - best if seen while growing up
Evangelion - even if you hate it
Beck (watch and read)
Natsume Yuujinchou
LoGH
Eden it's an Endless World (even if you don't like the story itself, the storytelling is damn excellent)
Princess Mononoke
Kino's Journey


For specific reasons:
Naruto or Bleach filler (as a way by which to measure all other shit)
Paranoia Agent (for the mindfuckery)
two of the following to know what good shonen is: Beck, Kekkaishi, Eureka Seven(anime), Rurouni Kenshin(manga), Trigun.
Lovely Complex, Kare Kano (or possibly Mysterious Girlfriend X): for good romance
Ghost in the Shell (any) and Last Exile (for cyber/steam punk)
Seto no Hanayome - for comedy


That is all I can think of for now but I'm sure others will improve on and come up with more stuff.

>>27235758
No, you don't expect that from all anime.

>>27235758
Ghost in the Shell is an excellent show and set of movies. Watch (or read the manga) any one of them.

Also, that pic it a good starting point >>27235734

Oh yea, fucker better watch the hellsing ultimate OVAs. So easy to get into and incredibly bad ass.

Op again, let me be clear, comedy is low tier IMO, I'm looking mainly for mindfuck/ass whoopings and characters that are fucked up in some way.

>>27235758

DBZ is a kids' show. Anime is an entire medium, covering pretty much every genre you can think of.

>>27235796

Naruto and Bleach?

That's why we are having more and more narutards around here. Doesn't matter the reason, stay away from those OP

>>27235841
then watch Hellsing Ultimate now!

>>27235841
Hellsing Ultimate OVA. This will make you want to shit yourself.

>>27235850
No, don't stay away from those, just make sure to watch other shit.

>>27235896

Stop dragging him to the wrong way!!

Yu Yu Hakusho

>>27235910
Who said I was a guy?

but yeah, I am.

>>27235896
What? I recommended him the Helsing OVAs. And , if you liked DBZ you'll probably like bleach more.

bump for further discussion

>>27235928
OP, hellsing Ultimate has count Dracula fighting catholic priests with guns, at the very least watch the ones that have been dubbed (because Hellsing Ultimate has, in my opinion, the best dub ever, and judging by the OP you're probably not used to subs). Then come back

quite simply, if you like DBZ, you'll like the big 3. But if you don't agree on the fact that the big 3 are shit, then we won't like you.

Ass whoopings and characters that are fucked up? Watch Black Lagoon, then. You'll love it.

Serial Experiments Lain
Mindfuck, yet it's about a 12 year old Japanese school girl.
FLCL was good too.

>>27236038
OP, you're new here, so let me introduce you: This is known as the elitist .

OP will be fapping to loli porn within three months.

I think you should not start with mind fucks.

Get something more basic (not naruto, one piece and bleach, if so your brain will be toasted) and then move on to the good / god tiers

>>27236048
Oh yeah, almost forgou about it. BL is a good choice for beginners.

>>27236052
see first post!

>>27236059
Which /a/ used to be full of, before you know, it became complete shit.

Remember when /a/ would have just told OP to lurk more, or better yet, ignored his shitty thread?

>>27236076
OP is not about to be fried by a cartoon....

>>27236088
Hellsing Ultimate is easier to get into if you have a very short attention span.

>>27236110
since after browsing this sub-forum there are so many more interesting things happeneing here.

/sarcasam

>>27236110
/a/ is not complete shit because we lost elitists, /a/ is complete shit due to the lack of mods and shitty image spanners.

Go for Bokurano and Tokyo Magnitude 8

>>27236059
So I was subconciously an elitist my entire life until a year ago when I started watching good anime?
I grew up despising it and everyone associated with it because I thought it was all DBZ Naruto Bleach One Piece shit. I actually watched some good stuff a year ago and now I can't imagine not watching new shows every season.
It's not elitism, those shows are honestly shit for brain dead retards.

>>27236136

Image spammers combat shitty threads, they are /a/'s friends.

>>27236193
No, all spammers are cancer.

>>27236187
You're an elitist because you think anyone who enjoys certain shows is a
>brain dead retard

>>27236229

as if everyone else was not like that, just in a different point of view... In the end all of us are elitists with our main purpose of defending what we like. Some are more aggressive while others don't.

>>27236229
So the term elitist means someone who has a different opinion than yours?

I really fucking hate you.

>>27236207


The threads they spam are cancer. They are our allies

>>27236193
Image spammers are cancerous pricks who take matters into their own hands when they really shouldn't.

right now you two bickering is the cancer

>>27236267
Sorry, how else would you define an elitist? Most of my judgments about people are based on their opinions and their actions.

>>27236275
They spam any thread.

>>27236275
It is not their decision to make, whether a thread is cancer or not. Especially since all you need is one person to imagebomb a thread.

>>27236340
The Big 3 are the bottom of the barrel. Anyone can see this, not just /a/.

>>27236363

Most of the threads they rape are cancers.

>>27236430
It is also not your decision to make if they are cancerous.

>>27236447

If I can't decide if a thread is cancer or not, neither can you say image spammers are good or bad for /a/.

>>27236430
I have never seen a thread that's actually worse than the spammers themselves.

>>27236482
Hi spammer. Reported.

>>27236507

I'm not a spammer. Also: >Implying the Report buttons does anything.

>>27236482
Ok, then. I'll play it your way.

There was a railgun thread I was in, it went to 4 threads, but the 4th thread had a post number ending in "555" , and thus it got yami-spammed. Are you really telling me that one thread at a time, about an anime and thus is relevant to /a/ , is more cancerous then spam?

>>27236568

Sacrifices must be made in order to achieve the greater cause.

>>27236606
And what is this greater cause? To fight the cancer that is killing /a/ with more cancer that is arguably slightly better?

Suzumiya Haruhi
Lucky Star
School Rumble
Princess Tutu
Scrapped Princess
xxxHolic

>>27236606

no, fuck off.

>>27236606
Spamming has ruined /a/ more than any other thing.

If you don't think so you're an idiot and deserve to have your posting privileges permanently revoked.

>>27236667

>Haruhi

>>27236639

Once cancer threads like Sup mugi and other shit stop, so will spams. It doesn't matter if other threads get involved on this.

>>27236763


So with that... WHAT IS cancer after all? If good threads get raped by this then they are the cancer and cancer threads are not cancer?

>>27236763
sup mugi??

Also, you can ignore a bad thread , you can't ignore spam in a good thread that you're in.

>>27236701
What's that, someone thinks a show about god that's actually kinda good at philosophy AND has decent slice of life is good?
AHAHAHA I REACTIONFACE YOU!

>>27236805

No, John. You are the cancer.

>>27236763
The spams will never stop, you fucking ignorant moron. That's like Light from Death Note thinking he'll stop killing people eventually. No he wouldn't, because his standards for cancer that deserves killing will grow increasingly wide until he kills everyone.

>>27236841

It's the lamiest shit ever.

>>27236865

>Bringing Death Note to a silly discussion.

This will not end well, let's just hope to not see a bunch of people discussing what justice is, why L died, why they hate Near so much, etc.

Spammers are good for bad threads, but a friendly new guy spammer will spam anything popular regardless if it is a good thread or not.

Spamming shouldn't be necessary, and spammers should at least use the sage function to stop bumping the thread.
Christ, they are the cancer if they keep bumping a bad thread with spam.

>>27236944
The conversation was over as soon as someone actually tried to defend spamming. The only people who defend it are either trolls or people so morally bankrupt they can't be reasoned with.

Well, I don't mind if image spammers when they spam a thread I dislike..

So maybe is a evil we need to handle since it does good things sometimes (from whatever the point of view you have, you WILL be happy if a thread you hate is being raped).

>>27237026So maybe is a evil we need to handle since it does good things sometimes (from whatever the point of view you have, you WILL be happy if a thread you hate is being raped).

I'm not.

>>27236970
>Spammers are good for bad threads
Spammers are worse then bad threads. It allows one user to effectively kill a conversation.

There is a reason that not everyone is a mod

>>27236970

Well, I have to agree with you there.

>>27237026
> Well, I don't mind if image spammers when they spam a thread I dislike..

Then you are a selfish prick.
> (from whatever the point of view you have, you WILL be happy if a thread you hate is being raped).

No, I don't want spam anywhere. Even those retarded "katanah" threads.

>>27237056

Oh now you touched something that we will all agree:

/a/ does not have mods, and this contributes to so many cancers around here.

I hate spammers, I avoid normal forums so I dont have to deal with back seat mod bullshit. god damn kids

>>27237026
Wrong, wrong, wrong.

>>27237106


So you are saying Spammers are like a bad people's militia or something due the lack of security the government (mods) 'offers'?

Boku no Pico is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys DBZ.

>>27237106
Actually, I think we do have mods, I've seen posts disappear that I highly doubt were deleted by the poster.

They're just no where near active enough . If we even had one mod on at all times we wouldn't have this problem.

>>27237180

Ok, spam defender here.

I was trolling a bit about spams. I don't like those just like you guys. But I would be happy if there was a "sage squadron" or something for retarded threads... I mean, threads that 90% of /a/ hates.

>>27237249
No, no sage squadron. If you think a thread is retarded then sage it if you have to respond to something and leave. Otherwise just ignore shitty threads and report them.

>>27237249
why don't you just ignore the thread

KoG said he's gonna release a bomb later today.

>>27237303
And any thread that is imagebombed by KoG automatically doesn't deserve it.

>>27237294

I can't help but to rage when I see 70% of the front page loaded with crap.

>>27237290
Yeah that's what I usually do.

Listen, OP.

You sound like a normalfag. This is a precious thing. What you are doing is trodding down the dark path of the otaku.

It only starts here, but one day you're going to wake up and realize you don't remember the last time you watched anything that had English audio and you've been yelling at people for streaming all week long.

You're going to post in threads about your waifu and declare 3D to be PD.

You are going to become ONE OF US. If this is the path you have chosen, I want you to have no regrets.

Watch Cowboy Bebop if you haven't already.

>>27237400
> you've been yelling at people for streaming all week long.

Another example of an elitist.

>>27237436

I'm not saying what's right and what's wrong, just what happens around here.

If I could have seen myself like this five or ten years ago, I wouldn't have believed it.

>>27237473
Oh, I wasn't saying that you necessarily do that or think it's right, I was just saying that people who do that are elitist.

fuck you noobie faggot

>>27237350

Then why're you still here ?

>>27237436


Streams is faced as a concept like that of "only gay people get aids" that happened in the early 60's.

>>27237548


Because I want, deal with it.

>>27237249

A "Sage Squadron"?

Like, an official source of authority on 4chan?

You mean, like, mods?

Spammers are just faggots who wish they were mods and are taking out their frustration on threads people like to post in.

>>27237555
Umm...ok?

>>27237508
You sure showed him!

>>27237555

I have no idea what you're trying to say. Like, streams are a failed rumor, or bashing streams is like saying you get aids from being gay?

Ah, I just don't get it.

>>27237582

No.

Sage Squadron would be people that gather in a certain thread to sagebomb it.

Sage Squadron he says, /b/tard mentality at its finest.

>>27237638
That sounds awfully similar to imagebombing to me.

>>27237638

That's stupid. You're stupid.

You seem like an earnest fellow, something 4chan lacks sorely. So I'll give you my dummy MSN adress.

>>27237616


I think hes trying to say that people look at streamfags like: ZOMG GO DL SOME EPISODES YOU FAG. Because they tend to think that someone who downloads episodes, OST, etc is a 'better fan' than someone that only watches it by a stream.

At least that's what I think he tried to say

>>27237638

>>27235796
>Outlaw Star - best if seen while growing up

thing for furries at a young age eh?

>>27237739
How did you get that from what he said?
