I was going to throw obscure shit in here just to be an elitist dickbag, but then I saw Sosarin props'd Monster and I was like FUCK SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEIR SHIT and I was sad. So instead I will list actual good stuff. Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad. It's like K-On if K-On wasn't fucking terrible. It's about a band, and shit, except actually realistic because the main character doesn't pick up a guitar and know how to play it in 30 seconds. Cromartie High School. It's...fuck. It's Cromartie High School. It's basically a parody of all the pompadour-displaingy "fighting school" anime/manga genre. And Freddy Mercury is also a character. Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu. It's Full Metal Panic with the funny parts only, and the SRSBZNS ROBOT FIGHTAN WARZZZ parts stripped out. IMO a better series. Elfen Lied. Shit is fucked up. The first seven minutes of the first episode are like the most violent thing ever. Last Exile. FUCK YEA STEAMPUNK (sort of). Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Amazing show for the first half. Then it gets kind of stupid but you finish it out of a sense of duty. Ending's fucking terrible. If you could somehow only watch the first half (you'll be WELL AWARE when that half ends, trust me) you'd be better for it.
