[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 2672714"] My views on Anime are kinda stringent. I don't like it when an anime doesn't finish something. That said, *Trigun - This has been my favorite anime since '98 when it released. Best ending ever. I recommend this above all others. *Samurai 7 - Holy crap! Great anime, great ending, and a bit of a tear-jerker. Shows the way of the warrior quite well. *Afro Samurai - Ha.. Freakin' sweet. I own this anime, but Netflix has it also. The movie (Afro Samurai: Resurrection) detracts from it, in my opinion. Better off just watching the series. Someone earlier mentioned that it is hard to follow; I disagree completely. *FLCL - I watched this on Adult Swim some years before netflix, and haven't seen it since. I remember it being very fast-paced and funny, somewhat confusing, and having a strange ending. I remember loving it, though. *Jyu-Oh-Sei - Easily one of the better anime shows on Netflix. Also great ending. *Gungrave - Much better than I thought it would be. My ducts actually teared a bit in the last episode. Okay, kind of a lot, actually. What a tear-jerking ending! *Samurai Champloo - The fighting in this anime is the best I've ever seen. As a martial artist who trains with weapons, I was incredibly appreciative of this anime. Good ending, too. *Moribito - Great, and I was very excited... Until it ended. It still ended and was worth watching, but it felt like the writers forgot to come back later and address two things. That's the only problem I had with it. Visually stunning. *Elfen Leid - Great, and it ended well, too. Pretty intense battles. *Demon King Daimao - God, I thought this was going to be terrible; however, it was fast-paced and fun, full of action, and boobies, too. I was pleasantly surprised. *Avatar: The Last Airbender - While this is not technically Anime and is geared more for kids, it's one of the better animated shows that I've ever seen. *Full Metal Alchemist - Good anime, worth watching, confusing as hell ending. I hear the movie clears up the confusion, and I hear that FMA: Brotherhood is better than FMA, but I haven't seen those. *Rin - ........Don't watch this. It's on my list because apart from the only issue I have with it, it is an amazing story with a solid ending and it is short, sweet, and to the point. Six episodes each around 44 minutes long. Your tastes may be different, but it was very hard to stomach the constant sex and killing (same time). In my opinion those two shouldn't occur at the same time, but, if you can take it, or enjoy that level of kinkiness, then watch it. If not, then skip. *Claymore - Eh. So-so. Worth watching. *Devil May Cry - I hated this, but it wasn't necessarily bad. I've never played any of the games, so that just might be a prerequisite. As purely an Anime (not taking the games into account), it was worthless. No character building, no conflict that wasn't washed away instantly, and no building climax. If you've played the game and liked it, then I'm sure you would enjoy it better than I could, so it's on the list. It does have an ending of some sort. *Soul Eater - Pretty awesome, but super weak ending. Closed it off well enough, but was anticlimactic. *Deathnote - Personally, I much prefer the live-action movies they made; the anime is still good, though, and it definitely ends. *Basilisk - Nice and dark, definitely ends, and very much so worth watching. Very dark. *Blue Gender - This is now on Netflix. I haven't seen it in a long time, and I don't think I finished it, but I hear it's very good. It's on my rewatch list. The above are the Anime on Netflix that I've seen that end. The next list is defined differently. *Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple - Worth watching, but only half-ends. I really liked it, and would recommend it, anyway, though. Not dark at all. *Inuyasha - Good anime; probably one of my favorites for storyline. (SPOILER ALERT - no ending. the last episode is the whole crew not having gotten anywhere in their quest. back to square one, basically, and Naraku is still alive, and possesses nearly the entire Sacred Jewel still. END OF SPOILER) *Naruto - Geared for kids, doesn't end, and Naruto Shippuden isn't on Netflix. The most filler episodes that I've ever seen in any anime. Still good. *Bleach - Netflix only has up until the end of the, "Bount," run (109 episodes), so don't expect any closure. *Trinity Blood - Well, this show reminded me so much of Trigun that I was ecstatic while watching it, but, (SPOILER ALERT - it doesn't end. The end of the series is basically, "Hey, well, we'll just keep going!" Just like Inuyasha. END OF SPOILER) *Mushi-shi. Great anime! But, absolutely no plot, and every episode is unrelated. Someone earlier said it was boring... I didn't think so at all. It had my interest in every episode. I watched the first two episodes of Oshigurui, then stopped because I couldn't stand it. Mega dark, brutal, and gory. The story skips back and forth in time so much that I lol'd and called it a joke, which was the reason I stopped, but if you like wtfing all the time then it may be good for you. A lot of these anime are on Netflix but don't show up under the Anime Genre tabs, so you may have to search by name. They are all on netflix, though, as of this post. Off of Netflix I recommend Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Escaflowne, Yu Yu Hakusho, Tenchi Muyo, and Gundam Wing. I also hear Gantz is very good; dark and brutal like Elfen Leid, and with an amazing storyline, but I haven't actually seen it. A lot of people seem to like Ninja Scroll, but I haven't seen it yet, and it's not on Netflix. My list of Anime to watch next is Blue Gender, Sekirei, Eden of the East, Darker than Black, Noein, and something else that I can't remember, in no particular order. Probably Eden of the East next. Unfortunately, my computer isn't working, and I have an xbox 360, so I can't browse using that or use the computer to go to an anime website. Netflix is all I can use. Sad day. My favorite anime in order are probably Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Samurai 7, and Jyu-Oh-Sei, and Escaflowne, so far. Just finished the show X. Biggest regret of my life. I would not suggest it to anyone. 1 star. [/QUOTE]
