Forums - General Discussion - Looking for a new Anime

General Question I know, but I would like a few suggestions. I typically prefer more adult oriented horror/suspense anime, and I want something new (since I likely haven't seen it). Some of my favorites are:

Attack on Titan
Baccano!
Black Lagoon
Claymore
Code Geaus
Cowboy Bebop
Dragon Ball Z
Elfin Lied (Favorite)
FullMetal Alchemist
Ghost in the Shell
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Not a fan of the other Gundam series)

-----

I don't like over the top comedies like Kill la Kill and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (But I loved High School of the Dead). I'm looking at starting Monster up, but it's a bit old. I'm also a fan of highly sexual anime, but only when the female characters have a strong role (like the Russian girl in Black Lagoon)

 

Thanks You, I appreciate the tips Try to name niche titles if you can

I know a ton of people will suggest mid to high tier anime but if you would like to see some underrated/hidden gem animes i suggest these as i enjoyed them. Only thing with some is i just wished they were 52+ episodes :-/

Anyway...

♥Symphogear: An anime thats definitely unique. Has alot of really good OST and the show kinda is focused around singing (but has a ton of battles). Its a personal favorite underrated of mine.

Pros.....
Epic Fights
Great OST
Heavy Female Focus (and its not ecchi thank god).

Cons......
Just 2 seasons waiting on the third (not really a con but...)
Season one has just one painfully annoying english dub episode. My god they cant speak english XD

 

 

★ Speed Grapher: Want a mature and wild anime? This has a pretty bizarre setting. Its about a photographer that stumbles onto an underground organisation that has rich/powerful people conduct crazy activities. (gambling,sex,etc) While there the protagonist accidently gets a virus (or something like that) from a girl which curses him of exploding anything he captures with his camera (Yes camera).

Aldnoah Zero - Mecha, story goes to an interesting place.

Jormungand - Made by a lot of the Black Lagoon crew. Sexy femme-fatales abound.

Hellsing - Ultimate is more bombastic epic. The old series has better suspense elements. Both are worth watching.

Akame ga Kill - Fan service characters but also with a super dark underbelly in terms of plot.

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

Blade and Soul

First look says it's a cheap booby fantasy. It's actually a quite dark story with mature themes and a bit less clothing than is necessary.

Death Note - Cat and mouse murder mystery with supernatural elements.
Mushishi - Wanderer researching and solving mysteries revolving around mushi (spirit-like creatures).
Paranoia Agent - Creepy psychological mystery, I honestly don't know how to describe this one.
Fate/Stay Night - Great action and mythos.
Noein - Time travel, I can't remember a lot about this one other than I really enjoyed it.



Aldnoah Zero - Think the first arc is over, but this is one that will take you by surprise
Mahouka - Some great stuff here too (what the hell inda brother and sister shit is going on here???)
Broken Blade - Mechaction and deep, mature story... very mature story... only mech stuf that beats this is....
Knights of Sidonia - That no one has mentioned this is something I find shocking
Akame Ga Kill - This is a strange one, after every episode I keep telling myself it will be the last one I watch... keep coming back to it.

Blast of tempest
Shinsekai yori
