Anime couple with conflicting tastes!

[sim_sun]

Hi everyone.

I've been out of the anime loop for a while - big fan of older classic series. But started school and had some kids so I got behind on recent stuff. I hope to learn about what's good to download and buy nowadays.

My new partner is an Anime fan but also out of the loop. We have an account at Greencine.com and get new series on DVD to try out, but it's hit and miss.

Anything newer out that's worth getting? Below is our tastes - a little hard to combine them into something we both enjoy though.

We're watching now:

Initial D - not sure if I like this one cause its about cars, and the animation sucks
Yakitate - both love this!
Boogiepop Phantom - stopped because it was too confusing

I like but he doesn't:
Slayers - he says its too slapstick

He's watching but I can't stand:
Naruto
Bleach
Battle of Galactic Heroes

My favorites:
Evangelion
Escaflowne
Urusei Yatsura
Vampire Hunter D
anything Hentai


We both enjoyed Evangelion because I liked the philosophical aspect and he liked the sci-fi part. Escaflowne I liked for the plot twists and romance and he liked the fantasy aspect.

You guys are great thanks for the help!

Welcome to the forums, I would like to recomend 3 anime's. 1 would be Death Note, great animation quality, fantastic story and always seems to have twists in it to make it more interesting. This one would seem to point more towards your partner though. One that you both may like is Trinity Blood. The last one is a love/romance one, the story is quite interesting also, its called D.N.Angel.

Oh! Also Full Metal Alchemist is pretty new, fantastic story to it, great animation, funny, cool characters.

But yeah, theres a couple. Anyway welcome and hope to see you around the forums.

[sim_sun]

Thanks a lot everyone. He has started Death Note and told me about it. It sounds good to me. And we watched the first episode of Trinity Blood too.

It's so hard to watch several series at once! I guess I'll have to finish at least one season of Initial D before I request to start something else!
