no offence to some of you but i dont like anime.

i think it just tries to lure guys in with boobs.....yeah that doesnt work on me

[Fork_Q2]

You don't like boobies?!?

Seriously though; I have only ever seen Akira, and it was very good. Don't know where to go from there, any suggestions anyone? I like giant robots if that helps.

[Blingie]

Its fine if you don't like anime. Although, there is a lot of anime without the breast luring.

Personally, I think some anime deserved to be watched like "Monster" by Naoki Urasawa (mispelt?) because of the action, mystery and drama. Naoki is one hell of a writer, mind you.

You can give the Gundam Series a try, Code Geass got a lot of positive feedback, and there are those I haven't heard of of course. Check out myanimelist.net and look under the tag "mecha".

To the OP: Admitted, a lot of anime overdo it with the fanservice, and I as anime-fan don't like it as well, there is a long list of anime which are worthwhile though... Ghost in the Shell, Stein's;Gate, Psycho-pass, Cowboy Bebop, Perfect Blue, Battle Angel Alita (a.k.a. Gunnm) etc. In the titles I mentioned (and many more) the fanservice is either minimalized or practically non-existent. The anime-universe is vast, and if you search, you will find something you like. If you don't like the style in general, then that's a matter of taste. I hope I did spark your interest a bit and you will at least try to find some info about the titles I listed and see that anime are a LOT more than fanservice, if not... fair enough. Cheers!

Right, Gundam and Code Geass; thanks for the reccomendations - are they easy for a newb to get into?

Oh, and I've seen Hetalia, I hated that. Was it supposed to be well-regarded with the fans?

I don't dig Hetalia as well. As for Gundam... the franchise is over 30 years old, so the material it has to offer varies in terms of length, quality and themes. If you're new to Gundam, try Gundam 00, and maybe later some of the older series, which may have a lower quality of animation and drawing but are a lot more developed regarding plot, characters and depth in general.

spongebob is best amine.

when i was growing up, i had astroboy and dragonball. back then it was just japanese cartoons.
i cant even describe the non-sensical crap i see these days

[The nameless Gamer]

To each his own. As long as a difference in interests doesn't create unneccesary conflicts, it's perfectly OK to like/not like things. I don't like Family Guy f.e., neither the art style nor the characters, my friend Marcus loves it. And yet we get along just fine (^_^).

Me neither.

[chibilibi]

Why would we be offended at your personal dislike of anime? Personally, I enjoy SOME of it (not all, of course. There's too many different genres of it to like it all) such as Black Butler, Soul Eater, and, admittedly, Seitokai no Ichizon (one of the few GOOD slice of life animes IMO).

[Grimminski]

No offense?

I hate anime too, and ♥♥♥♥ the feelings of anybody who does.

[Vox]

I've never liked it nor understood it

Robotech. That one has as much Giant Robots as you could imagine.

As far as anime goes I could care less really, there are only a handful of Anime I like and most of them are simply for Nostalgia (Example: Azumanga Daioh, Robotech) The only ones I could really reccemend in a serious light would be Cowboy Bebop and Wolfs rain. Besides those the rest i've seen are just soft core porn with overly dramatic/annoying Characters/Storys.

[Supa Hot Fire]

It sucks

[Fork_Q2]

I do want to get more into anime, but I'm also glad I'm not alone in not under

Robotech added to the list, thanks.
