As for Full Metal. I watched 14 and can see where it really starts.. 13 did have some difference, but 14 was crazy.. really crazy... Gotta watch another one and hope I can finish he before my Nephew gets here to have me teach him stuff in the pool..
sorry I was in my room (have a mouse and no keyboard). It felt like a rated R movie. Normally I would care less about that type but I had seen a bunch of serious ones and wanted something lite. I couldnt stop watching I was so fascinated by the characters and story. When it finished I was so pissed it was only 12 episodes.
I feel that there will be more Full Metal Panic. Due to how it ended.. But, that's my thoughts..
As for Fumoffu. It was their little "fillers". Just their fun stuff, anime to just get people to see more of it. I really liked it due to the fact that it was "different" & I couldn't stop laughing at it all.. I guess it was due to me being up at 4am after leaving my ex fiance's house when she finally fell asleep. Just enough to get me threw two more hours before I leave for work..
LOL, for me I really get involved with the characters and story. So when they do a 180 it was a definite WTF! to me.
(PS: up to that point CS I fricken loved FMP, thx)
Worry for a sekirei sequel is coming this year...
Gotta think about something similar...
Im pissed off, yesterday i had only 3 anime ep to dl, Bakemonogatari, Saki and FMA, today i had nothing to download at all, scavenged my hdds in search of something to watch and found nothing new...
Im getting Air gear uncensored dvds and just finish index BD rips from Thora and just rewatched the first ep...
Index quality is still quite superior to most of other animes...
fumoffu came out during a little 'alternate reality' craze with anime in japan. this was less alternate than most, and pretty much was a comedy season.
lol, well I hope they got over it...
(its kind of like watching my mod logs and all of the sudden I started doing "Hello kitty" mods)
I just started watching another series and this is definitely not for the kiddies but very interesting so far..
Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne No Musume-tachi
(I thought Utaw was a pain to spell)
Just a heads up.. we're almost at 3k posts! Woot!!
Edit: damn every time I see Huges die, I just want to burst into tears..
So, that leads me to ask... Is there any part in which you have watched anime that you just want to say... OMG, they just didn't do that? I'm not really asking on the fact that its like, air up a girls dress, or that stupid thing... Like how in FF7 (the game) Aries just dies like she does.. Man, I must of re-watched that scene a dozen times, even got my mom to watch it.
And I don't know what all Full Metal Panic you have watched Mark, but there is also Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid. It's the true sequel to Full Metal Panic. Fumoffu was just a comedy filler. Wasn't meant to be a sequel.
Now, on to Full Metal Alchemist. It's another one that I will wait until they finish completely before I watch it. I learned my lesson on trying to watch a series as it's being released. Get stuck with a series that the group drops, stalls, or the group just disbands, and you learn to just wait until somebody finishes it. lol.

Man, don't get me started on Gantz! I gotta read the manga since they said it was way better then the anime.
I'm with you on the fact of how series are... it's a pita once you get stuff going, and then its gone due to a person's falling out or what not... I'm at episode 21 of Full Metal Alchemist: brotherhood. By watching it via stream at a anime site, I've seen 3 different fan subs doing it. Eclipse was the first one, then two no names, but it wasn't Eclipse since they didn't have their "logo" on it all.. But, if I can get it streamed at this place, or some where else, without having to extremely wait.. I'll do it.. I've gotten hooked so badly with Brotherhood.. lol

ahh, it's Fufu baloney.. lol... I almost cracked a rib laughing so hard! lol..
I think I'm going to use the "fufu baloney" term from now on!
Man, just got done watching Episode 24 of FMA: Brotherhood.. I gotta say, it's a great anime.. It's more darker then FMA was, and Boy, does it have the twist and turns.
lol, well I hope they got over it...

Actually, I love Gantz. It's refreshing to see an anime that's full of one tragedy after another instead of the heroes always winning. Ending sucked tho.

If you want tragedy or drama, look for something with superior quality...
I highly recomend Ef a tale of Memories and its sequel Melodies, its a beautiful story...
Clannad, although the first season was a great harem comedy, the second is a perfect tragedy and almost ends really bad, the realism and drama are almost like no other...
Spekig of tragedy, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien was another beautiful story with lots of drama, i wrote a review of it and i can share...
Here is a hint: Overall:
This anime is one of the best of its kind, with an excellent and realistic story, great characters, support characters also did they job supporting the anime, nice music and animation; everything was great.
If u are just starting to watch this anime, prepare for a roller coaster of emotions, once you start watching it you are part of the cast, it feels like you are there sharing those moments with them.
Prepare yourself, this is sad, and u if u have the courage it should be watched again, as for me, I fell I was actually there after watching it over again…
And while we're at it, one of last year best animes: True tears, another beautiful story with some drama to it but not as much as the others...
So just forget about Gantz, its not that good, i didn't even finish watching it...
Instead if its good stories with drama or tragedy but not much action, try the above...
If its action and bloodshed Then elfen lied has plenty of blood and dismembered corps, so many you will lose count on the dismenbered corps on the first ep, a decent story, good music some nudity and overall quite good...
And if you are in to watch some good Horror anime with heavy psychological suspense, lots of terrifying scenes to give you the creeps and actual gore not just some blood but eviscerated corps, and even one scene where a girl as to rip 3 of her fingernails as a payment for certain circumstances and while having all that it manages to have cute characters that will turn terrifying in a blink of an eye and good levels of comedy... Just watch Higurashi naku koro ni, you will have all this and more...
Gotta get the dvd rips and watch again...
I have watched all of the anime you posted. None of them compare to Gantz for the blend of tragedy and gore. Really, Gantz doesn't fit into any specific genre. It blends a few different types. No other anime I have found matches that blend.
Kimi, EF and Clanad aren't even close to the same category. They are a completely different type of tragedy. They are more drama than straight tragedy. Kimi is of my favorite anime of all time. Enough so that I bought it. Still can't be compared to Gantz tho. Completely different categories.
Like I said, I like Gantz. Enough so, that I own it. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's a bad anime. I like most anime that blend these genres, tho all blend it in a slightly different way. Elfen Lied and Texhnolyze come to mind immediately, and guess what, I own those too.
Although I will be checking out Higurashi. Haven't seen that one yet. Actually forgot about it.

I told those were quality anime with good stories, drama or even some tragedy like clannad, but not any action or gore, if thats what you want check higurashi then, hope you dont get disappointed, it actually doesn't have much action, you wont see a little girl chopping everyone in the street with an axe while singing a creepy song, instead they love to do it slowly and painfully...
And for anyone who hasn't seen the anime above mentioned, they are all a must watch for anime lover...
I have it in my Netflix queue as my next movie so I will prob get it for this weekend. The idea looks cool and am looking forward to it. I think CS saw it.
When I saw "KIMI" I laughed as I saw Kimi Ga Aruji De Shitsuji Ga Ore De this morning...(and while it was cute is prob shouldnt be on a "best of" list) it took me a bit to realize you guys were talking of another Kimi...
but I have seen it several times.
