Need some anime recommendations.

Shows I watched over the last couple of years that I liked: Monster, Death Note, something about a photographer and weird occult happenings in Tokyo, Hellsing (to some extent).

Checked out the Wiki, Mononoke sounds interesting. Doesn't need to be Horror/Psychological though, if there's a romance or sci-fi show that's mind-blowing, I'll give it a try.

Try Code Geass.

Yep, I like that. Funny I mentioned Death Note and Monster, seems like "manipulative genius" is a sub-genre of its own.

I saw "recommendations" and this was a sticky. My bad.

This is usually why it's a good idea to look inside the thread itself and see what it's actually about.

THAT'S WHAT THE SONG WAS REALLY ABOUT


This is a general anime thing I'm not sure where to post- what the hell is the deal with the recent 10bit fansubs? Why do they do them? It seems like it causes a lot more issues than it fixes.

If you get a high quality fansub on a good monitor, 10 bit makes a pretty substantial difference color wise on more visually appealing anime. It sucks that it's not well supported and you have to downgrade VLC if you use it to play movies. I wouldn't be surprised if 4K becomes the next big thing forced into new fansubs in a couple years.

 4k is a pipe dream. There's no codec that makes it remotely sane to distribute and it's going to be impossible to broadcast for at least the near future. It doesn't even make sense on the production side because we don't have storage devices that can handle raw 4k streams in real time. Maybe in 20 years, definitely not 2.

I told you already, it's pronounced ugzofdodwollicasjab!

 There are some pages I want to make, but I'm really terrible at writing series synopses. Would anyone really mind if I just skip that, and write my opinion of the show?

There are a bunch of semi-complete pages and no one's ever minded too much. Opinions and recommendations are really the meat of the wiki, so if you wanna share those, I'd say just go ahead.

edit: Man, that's a lot of spambots signing up lately.

Might be smart to link them in this thread(?) or the general recommendation thread. People love to work on stuff that has already been started.

It's fine, but I'd link them in here and or the recommendation thread then to ask someone else to do it then.

Keep in mind that you don't need to write a series synopsis perse, you just need to summarize the rough idea of the series more than anything. It's less a overall summary and more a general selling point.

I can do that. I made a page for Hanasaku Iroha.

While I'm here, I want to thank everyone who contributes to the wiki. It's always the first place I check for opinions on anime I hear about.

Can't post for 3 days!

 Turns out my new job has an order od magnitude more downtime than I expected. Looking for some manga series to kill a couple of hours a day.

Likes:
Bokurano
Death Note (1st half)
Lone Wolf and Cub
Hajime no Ippo
Kenichi
Chihayafuru
GTO
Sword Art Online

Dislikes:
Elfen Lied
Accel World


Can't remember much more off the top of my head. For anime, I prefer to watch things that seem to be targeted a bit older (Planetes, Spacebros, Nana, Black Heaven).

Suggestions welcome.
