I have been a long time lurker on OT and recently I noticed the increase in anime threads. Now dont get me wrong I am no veteran when it comes to Japanese animation but I can call a decent one when I see it. The most common favorites from the supposed "experienced" watchers are ones like DBZ, One Piece, Pokemon, Naruto etc. My honest opinion is that those seem a little childish. I used to watch and play DBZ and Pokemon when I was younger but probably wouldn't last the first episode now at age 22. Maybe im getting it all wrong and the people who favour these are under 16, in which case thats fine. I was just under the impression that we had more over 17 posters. I have watched all released episodes of Naruto Shippuuden and I must say its quite entertaining but often predictable and cheesy. I haven't seen One Piece properly but I have an idea of the plot and characters from odd episodes from late night TV. Not something I would watch with out a respectable reference.
The Anime I have completed so far is:
Samurai Champloo, Afro Samurai, DBZ, Basilisk, Claymore, Hellsing, Vampire Knight, Deathnote, Elfen Lied, Ninja Scroll, Fist of the North star and as of yesterday Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
You are free to comment and criticize me on my list remembering I am still a noob. I would appreciate some recommendations too (I like anime that end at some point!)
