Atria35 (post: 1590807) wrote:Bunny Drop. Just the most fun, heartwarming thing to air in ages. Since you're in England, you can actually watch it legally on Crunchyroll (because that's how I saw some of my anime while over there ^.^). Yes, it's in subs, but since you've started watching those I don't think you'll have a problem.

John the Roman (post: 1592045) wrote:Hello!
I'm looking for anime that have Christian frameworks, (such as priests, demons, or similar things). Evangelion and Witch Hunter Robin are on my list, and I've already seen D. Gray Man, Chrono Crusade, Trinity Blood, Haibane Renmei, and Blue Exorcist. You can mention any title here, really. If it is worse than Blue Exorcist in objectionable content, I might not want to see it but I can always stop if necessary.
I'm also trying to find an anime that would be good to watch through with my parents (I've shown them Trinity Blood and Chrono Crusade already and they liked both, but when I showed it to them I had already seen them. Kind of ruins the magic.). I want to do this with Witch Hunter Robin, but I'm in college now and we'd only be able to do this in the Summer. The problem is that I started WHR and I'm really antzy about finishing it (I am going home soon and I will show them the first few episodes and see if they like it enough for us to both commit to seeing it together like that).
The guidelines for the one to watch with parents: Serious subject matter. I want something where they can almost imagine themselves watching an ordinary show with real people as actors (if that makes sense). Make sure it isn't too objectionable though, seeing as they've seen two anime that are prone to fanservice at parts, that's generally okay, but too much foul language would not be good. Also if there's oceans of blood it might not be the best but violence is not a big a issue. (Christian framework would be nice but is not required, I'm planning on showing them Requiem for the Phantom at some point and that has only passing references to anything Christian. Certainly not comparable to Chrono Crusade or Trinity blood.)
Thanks, I hope I was clear enough.
EDIT: I've seen Hellsing as well. That's the new benchmark for objectionable content too I guess, though it wasn't terribly awful except for one episode and one character in particular...
skreyola (post: 1590868) wrote:Nanaka 6/17 is a good one for that. It's about a 17-year-old girl who loses her memory and thinks she's 6. Parts of it are serious, especially as it goes along, and the ending is bittersweet, but for the most part, it's lots of laughs as her childhood friend tries to keep her out of trouble and keep her problem a secret. Hulu free had the full series of the dub, last I checked. I've watched it there two or three times.
School Rumble also comes to mind. It's been over a year since I saw it, so I can't promise you about the content, but I think the only fanservice is in two episodes where they're at the beach and in bathing suits, but I didn't find it objectionable. If you don't mind romantic comedy tropes, this should be a good one for filling your laugh meter.
If you're looking for good feelings more than outright laughs, you might also enjoy the fish-out-of-water series, Croisee in a Foreign Labyrinth. The humor is more low key and charming than ha ha funny, but I always had a smile on my face when I finished an episode, so if you want a pick-me-up, check that out. The sub is on Hulu free, also.
Hope that helps.

In the recent CAA Moe Character tournament AND the tournament going on right now for the best anime of the 2000's, many of you have said that you really really like The Melancholy of Haruhi Shizumiya.
I tried watching the first episode and I couldn't get past the first ten minutes because I could NOT understand what in the world was going on. If I can't figure out what's happening in the first ten minutes, is it worth it to keep going?

AliceLink96 (post: 1594878) wrote:Heyyy guys!! So my sister and I were trying to look for Anime to watch earlier and so I said "I 'll check CAA's Anime review page!!" We tried to find Anime that did not have any nudity in it and we found some but she didn't like some the suggestions. I then suggested Kimi ni Todoke and she loved it!! I want to find more age appropriate animes that we both can enjoy that are similar to Kimi ni Todoke but I can't find anything at the moment..
AliceLink96 (post: 1594894) wrote:Religiously speaking, anime that has like...killing and violence is OK if there's not like...gushing blood and Gore and all that jazz. And as for the cursing i'm not really strict but like...i really try to avoid the animes that use too much offensive language. We also don't watch any shonen ai or any of that but i dont think that will be in any of the suggestions, i just wanted to clarify it. But thank you so much!! I'm definitely gonna show her these because these animes are so her (^U^) thank you!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs (post: 1594876) wrote:I'm curious what in particular I hated even though you thought I'd like it, is it Black Lagoon? If so, I thought the GUNS were done better by the likes of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Jormungand, and Library War, and I never felt I had a reason why I should root for the characters involved so I found it hard to get into the plot. That, and it bothered me the way it argued over something I consider trivial (whether or not they should loot the Nazi bodies) when it had the main characters committing far more morally reprehensible actions without a single batted eyelash.
Haibane Renmei, though, I'm pretty sure I'll like that since I have yet to find a single person who doesn't, and most of them are people whose tastes I trust. I definitely want to watch it so if you don't think any of my on-holds are things I should give attention to right now I'll definitely consider it. Eternal Shonen Rivals aside, though, I think we have pretty similar tastes, so just shoot from the hip at whatever you think, man.
Perhaps I will unwittingly reveal myself as a sociopath but I actually never found Baccano! or Bebop to have largely amoral casts. For instance, I to this day do not understand why people think Claire is this terrible amoral person. I wouldn't even say he's a sadist, honestly, I think his, errr, messy tendencies are more a result of him making sure the job is done, which is not necessarily a bad thing to do if you want someone dead in the Naritaverse.Maokun (post: 1594910) wrote:Yeah, I kind of thought that the amoral, jaded characters in BL that sometimes did stupid things would appeal your Baccano!/Bebop loving taste. Also you seemed to like M&H less than I'd have expected? Anyway, for the time being, my suggestion of HR remains. The other thing is that we have pretty much seen the same stuff (and you've seen more than me, to my chagrin) so I'm actually struggling to think of something else to recommend.
I'll see if by comparing our anime lists I find something in the gaps.
