What's next?

[Chakra Wizard]

Just finished watching Btooom! (pretty good, if you've never seen it) and now I'm not sure what to start next. I added a large number of anime to my waiting list recently and narrowed most of 'em down, so now it's down to these four. Thoughts on which I should start next?

AnoHana - A group of young friends help the ghost of their friend who died a few years ago to pass on. Supposedly on par with Clannad emotionally (doubt it).

Air Gear - Street gangs have started wearing motorized skates and participating in street fights and races, and after receiving a beating from one gang, a boy gets his own skates and starts competing in the streets. Looks pretty cool, but it is a sports anime, so I'm concerned.

Toradora! - Pretty much your basic high school romance, though I hear this one's pretty good (Clannad did set my standards pretty high, though).

Sword Art Online - Sure you all already know it. Just found a gaming anime I actually like in Btooom!, so I figured I'd finally give this one a try, too.

Right now, my big catch in watching anime is for some romantic satisfaction (most that I've watched recently were terrible in that regard), but I thought I'd give Air Gear a go, too. I'll leave it to you guys, though.

AIR GEAR; AGITO/AKITO SOLOS
OT: In all seriousness; Air Gear stomps.

 

[Pirate King]

im on episode 9 of air gear

its pretty cool, look up picture of the manga online it looks like it gets wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better

 

[Shalev]

soa will make you cry if you have a heart.

 

[Sea Of Thy Soul]

Toradora beat em all.

 

[Erebus]

SAO solos, second arc might not rub you well though, depends on the type of person you are.
Air Gear comes in second, i use to read the manga but i'm on hold for now

Huh, I was expecting SAO to get the first mention. XD

Does look good, but unfortunately, I can't stand reading manga (except the Big 3, which I can't stand watching). lol

Yeah, they said that about Clannad and Grave of the Fireflies, too (eyes watered, but not by much), so I highly doubt that lol

 

[xcoyote]

Dont waste your time with SAO.
If you like romance,just watch Katanagatari.

 

[Jellal Fernandes]

Just finished Anohana today and loved the story...Heard a movie is out so i'm going to watch that soon...Really brings the feels.

 

[Baldy]

Toradora, definitely. Should also try out Golden Time if you haven't already.

SAO's okay too, but I definitely wouldn't 'recommend' it, but you should just watch it since it's so popular.

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

AnoHana is the queen/king of emotional anime (that I've seen, anyway).

Also, Blood Lad is amazing for only 10 episodes. AnoHana is also only 11 episodes. You could watch both those series relatively quickly.

 

[Sir Blades]

Sword Art Online is pretty good, the others i dont really think they are worthy of my time. Air Gear was alright,but its just not my style of anime.

 

[Sir Blades]

Toradora, definitely. Should also try out Golden Time if you haven't already.

What is the plot of Golden Time?

 

[Zaphkiel]

Air Gear for sure!

 

[Baldy]

What is the plot of Golden Time?

Romance story which is set in a college setting, instead of your typical 'high school' setting.

Just looked at it. Meh.

Just checked it out. Looks pretty interesting, I'll admit.

Eh, I watch anime cause I hear they're critically good, not commercially, so no worries there lol

Evidently never seen Clannad, then lol

Eh, just looked at it. Not really my kinda show.

Nope. I haven't seen Clannad. Its moe style just turns me off.

Dude, Blood Lad is a gem. BL >>> Attack on Titan. It's hilarious and serious at the same time.

Looking at episode 1 right now of clannad and what you said about it's style is true...Not that appealing to me either but i will try to bear with it.

And AnoHana's didn't?

I would. Easily the most rewarding anime I've ever watched (After Story is just legendary).

Apart from Menma, all of AnoHana's characters have a more realistic design. In Clannad, everyone has eyes the size of watermelons. I'm not a huge fan of those designs.
