Question: Which of the Higurashi things should I watch first? There's like 3-4 different series, and a live-action thing as well IIRC.

Also, I'm up to ep 27 of Super Dimension Fortress Macross, and goddamn this show just went from being awesome, to being kind've sappy and boring, and then skyrocketing back into Intensely, crazy fucking awesome. I have have about 9 more eps to go, and this is one of the few series that I'm glad my roommate is making me watch with him.

I mean, I was skeptical at first, what with it being such an old show, and the robots being some bizarre half-fighter jet hybrids, but I stuck with it past the first ep, and it hasn't failed to disappoint. The animation is choppy, reused, and just plain bizarre at times, and while it's clearly not intentional, it adds a campy feel that adds humor to the watching experience.

My roommate and other friends have among us developed the phrase "Irrelevant, fire the main cannon!" as something of a personal meme among our group.

The order for the anime is Higurashi > Kai > Rei > Kira (which isn't out yet).

Sweet. Oh, have you seen Macross Frontier yet? I'd say it's a worthy successor to the old series since also tend to go from awesome>sappy>awesome at times as well (and the shout outs to the original is a nice touch too).

Macross 0 is my favourite.

No.  I do not like anime.

Josh, you should rename the thread.
People are still answering that question.

[lordcooper]

Just trying to shift it back on topic again.

[Vector]

Screw it.  I want to watch Macross now, too.

[IronyOwl]

No.  I do not like anime.

Try Samurai Champloo. You might like it.

[Patchouli]

Do any of you guys read Yotsuba&?

It's like, therapeutic.

I'll give it a try in the interests of fairness.

Well, what are you interested in? You might not like Samurai Champloo, but we don't really know what you like to give recommendations.

I do. It's wonderful. My favorite anime and manga are always the simple and positive, such as Yotsuba&, Aria, Sketchbook etc

Suite Precure's ED is hypnotic or something. I fall into a trance watching it.

If he doesn't like stereotypical anime and he doesn't like Samurai Champloo, I'm honestly not sure what he would like. Modern murder mysteries, I guess?

Yes...it's one of those manga where it just makes you laugh, feel good & relieve some stress. I also recommend Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō and Aria for those wanting something nice, simple, calming & angst free series.
