Should have watched Brotherhood first, was way better.

I prefer to save the best for last. Hence I'm glad I watched the original series before Brotherhood.

With Gosick finished I can absolutely recommend people giving it a chance. It's a solid show that got two amazing characters taking the lead and really being the main reason why I'll recommend it. Their interactions and character development were the best parts of Gosick without a doubt. Both Victorique and Kujo will be remembered for quite a while thanks to how well their roles were. Gosick also takes place in in a time and place that I've more or less never watched any media at all which was very refreshing and no doubt made Gosick more likeable with me. Gosick from start to finish was enjoyable and while at the start the arcs were rather weak and a bit underwhelming that was the complete opposite during the last third where they were good or great even. Don't watch Gosick and expect the best mystery plots or the best detective actions, it doesn't have that but what it has does help Victorique and Kujo stand out. Gosick got a few decent side characters aswell that help the show along but I'd hardly say that more than maybe one of them are memorable.

That should be right after you finish FMA, unless you want to make some kittens cry.

 

Right after, eh? Is Brotherhood significantly different? As in, after the point FMA diverges into its own thing rather than following the manga.

 

If so, might give it a go right after FMA.

Hah, true! I burst out of laughter when that one soldier asked Mustang why he wants to become President, and I was fully expecting a very serious answer that had some social / political reasoning behind it, yet he gave one about having every female soldier wearing skirts. Dear God, my stomach hurt!

But yeah, apart from Death Note, there hasn't really been any good detective action in the anime I've watched. And Death Note was good for what is was, but it was hardly Poirot (though I loved L's deductions.)

 

I know there's Detective Conan, but it'll take a sickle to my balls in order to get me to watch that monster. Anything else worth noting?

 

I suppose Ghost in the Shell has good police work, but still... there's no eccentric detective action going on. Even Poirot was eccentric in his own little way.

Paranoia Agent is excellent, I'd say -- Well, it's not really a detective fiction but it certainly involves elements typical of murder mysteries -- It's a psychological horror mystery, mixed in with some social satire. What is to be understood from that last part is that it plays around with modern pop culture like animation, video games, mascot characters etc. It does through a plot that relays on a mysterious phenomenon, occuring in Musashino, Tokyo, caused by a juvenile "serial assailant" called "Lil' Slugger". It features a large cast of people affected in some way by the phenomenon; usually Lil' Slugger's victims or the detectives assigned to apprehend him. It shifs accordingly, between each character, as more details are revealed about their secret lives and the truth about Lil' Slugger.

 

What I really like about this anime is the topics it wants to bring to light and discuss -- It's what I love about storytelling in general, in regards to what we as the viewer (in this case) can take away from it, what the creator wanted to say, and how it can potentially affect us, maybe even strengthen us as human beings. I like this anime for its almost psychedelic presentation -- It’s elaborates on the impact we have on what we generally perceive as "our reality" what's real and what's superstition, and how that viewpoint can potentially affect others, which is not always pretty. The ugliness of that truth is what makes Paranoia Agent good.

It’s one of those series that isn’t afraid to show all the hideousness that comes with the “human condition.” Whatever epiphanies and whatnot that it gets, they’re earned.

Sounds intriguing. 

 

Though I might push it to a later date after all. Heard about an anime called Gintama which apparently has some great humor (and is on itself great as well) so might give it a go first. Though 200+ episodes makes me a bit undecided.

Looks like Envy.

Heh. Guess I made the right call in watching FMA first. Always nice to go from something good to better.

[Liamv2]

You just mentioned watching Gintama. *awaits sim gushing*

[The Hierophant]

Been catching up on Fairy Tail, still impressed at the fact that support characters get shine in the series. Then again, I've seen way too much Naruto, where the side characters are discarded and even some main characters (coughSakuracough) are made useless

I'm watching Naruto currently and I can confirm that Sakura's been useless since episode one.

Which is a shame.

Since they keep going on about how well she can mold Chakra.

She's had like 2 good scenes in over fifty episodes.

That's pathetic.

I mean, her lines consist of 'blah blah blah' and SASUKE-KUUUUUUUN.

lol.

Now sadly, History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi has a lot of potential but it seems like it's ending, but Kensei Ma is legendary for how he defeated Mikumo.

Also caught up with Gangsta, and so far this series is promising. Kohske's a good artist and storyteller. Hopefully she's able to keep the series going.



simfam, Reezy, Ischar and Some Geth. You should check this out.

Coming from you, if you say it is great then I expect it to be great.

 

Good! Gonna watch it right after I've finished up FMA.

[TheChris92]

It was one of my earlier animes and to be honest the enjoyment was sucked out of me because what I expected was a mystery and got something else entirely. It's far more psychological and fantastical.

 

It's a shame, but it's like someone going into Lord of the Rings expecting Star Wars. Well... that's a bad analogy, but you know what I mean.

 

And so, it's entire message flew passed me in the end whilst I was still trying to grasp what on earth was going on.

That's a shame -- Can't win them all, really.

 

In retrospect, I haven't watched many anime for a while and mostly because there aren't many that have managed to intrigue me enough to sit down with.

I've found going back to film and shows again, lately.

It's also to say what sort of anime I'd like, really. So yeah..
