So I watched some anime and I must say I'm pretty happy with it. I am pretty much done with what I have so I was wondering if you have some recommendations on where to go from here. Here is some of what I've seen and what I thought:
DBZ: Decent anime, but it fails to stir emotion and it never really goes anywhere with its episodes. Death is not permanent and not really death and it just seems to drag on and on even if you ignore the "filler" episodes.
Fullmetal Alchemist + movie: Great one. Kind of sad at times and I was rather impressed. Impressive animation. Ending is sad, but not as bad as it could be.
NGE and End of Evangelion movie: By far the best anime I've seen. Horribly depressing if you watch EoE (Misato's death) and it has to be by far the most depressing series (if you include EoE) I have ever seen. I can't even think of any games, movies or anything else that comes close. My only gripe is that the ending of EoE could have given the viewers a bit more closure.
Watching now: Saikano. Kind of sad, but cannot even touch the sadness of EoE. I was expecting it to be even harder given the reviews I've read. Oh well, perhaps the last episode will do it for me. Did anyone else think that Saikano's animation was somewhat less expressive/emotional than that of EoE?
So where do I go from here? Can NGE be topped? I prefer English dubs.
