What about it was "too much", if I might ask? I would suggest sticking it out a little. It gets better. I have found that sometimes some series of anime takes a good 5 or so eps to really get moving.
Of course, if you are in the mood for a lighthearted comedy, it's not the way to go, but I would suggest saving it for a later time, when maybe you are in a more action-oriented mood.
For me Lighthearted is more my main interest. Maybe 30 years ago this would have appealed to me (But especially watching kids be manipulated really bothers me). I have lived a LOT of life and experienced a bunch of crazy stuff, now I just want to chill and smile more. I especially enjoy a good story (to me the Story of Dance In The Vampire Bund is so fascinating that I am drawn to it like a moth to a flame, lol)
I saw ALL of Basquash last night (lol, all 26eps) and I must say I liked some of it (some quite a bit) and yet that anime had more WTF???? stuff than I have seen in 1 anime.
hey guys, im new to anime in general.
I watched elfenlied and while i wasnt overwhelmed i was surprised i did enjoy the ride.
So im looking for more of the same kind of anime, meaning any anime with a good story thats not really suited for kids. I dont mean gore or nudity, but no pokemon or dragonball like anime.
Thanks!
There isant a LOT but there are some really good "Grownup" animes. One of my faves is
Black Lagoon.
As to
Kenshin, well I got to about ep75 before I got sidetracked on other stuff. If I remember I was watching it on DVDs from netflix so I could only watch a couple DVDs at a time. I would recommend watching all of it.
Its VERY good
so is
Gun Sword
Bleach is another really good anime, I have seen all of its eps (like 254eps so far) Personally I like animes that are about 12eps (perfect length to have a good story, keep my interest, and watch in 1 sitting) Bleach is just a slam bang fun ass ride. The only bitching I could do about it is because its so long they keep going off on tangent stories and that bugs me (but no way enough for me to not love the anime)
And one of my all time favorites
Ride Back
And dont forget
Beast Player Erin, I remember dj recommending it to me and saying "dont be put off by it looking like its made for little kids" its a masterpiece..
Canaan is also very good
