Subject: Help: Anime Question
Posted by: salami_swami
Date: Aug 30 12
I have an odd request, and I thought some members of FunTrivia would be able to help me.
I have recently become a huge fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's oddly addicting. Anyway, it had become my favorite show, and I watched five or so episodes every day. Well, I'm done. I watched every episode of the show that was made. Last night I watched the final 5 episodes.
Today, I was listening to Pandora, and a picture of an album reminded me of the show. For some unknown reason, it depressed me. I have now become super depressed that my show is over, and I can no longer watch such a wonderful show.
So now, my question.
I need a new show to replace it. I would like to know if anybody has a recommendation of some sort of cartoon or anime type show that I can watch instead of Avatar. I don't like those shows that are just episodes; I want each and every episode to be a continuous flow, almost like a giant, endless movie. Each episode takes off where the previous left off.
I was watching One Piece, but that is much more difficult to watch, as I have to find them online, and that's difficult on an iPad.
So, does anyone know of any show that could possibly replace Avatar? I need a continuous story-line show (not comedy like 30 Rock or The Office type). I would like an actiony-anime type show.
I do not know much about anime, so any recommendations would be wonderful. :)

You can try Bleach, it's an interesting anime and the story flows from each episodes. It's the story of a teenage boy who can see spirits (souls) he later becomes a Soul Reaper. It's good and very actiony-anime type show! You can also watch Black Butler, Pandora Hearts, Naruto, Vampire Knight, Fairy Tail, Death Note. They are all action anime with a flowing story. I hope you'll like, have fun! Reply #1. Sep 04 12, 4:46 AM |

Anime is so diverse I'm not exactly sure what you want but for action shows with a developing storyline you can't go wrong with Death Note, Code Geass, Trigun, Basilisk, El Calzador, and Fullmetal Alchemist just to name a few. All of these shows have plenty of action and are relatively short about less then 50 episodes for any of these shows so it won't take you months to finish a whole series. Reply #2.

I would recommend "Inuyasha". It has a ton of episodes, and each one continues where the last one left off, like a long story. It was my favorite show for a long time. My second choice would have to be "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood". It is interesting and each episode pretty much continues where the last left off. The only complaint is that there should have been more episodes. There were quite a few; I just wish there had been more. Reply #3. Sep 06 12, 9:53 PM |

I have been wanting to try FullMetal Alchemist. I love the music from the show; I listen to a Japanese Pandora radio station often, so hear it a lot. Every time a song comes on from the show, I 'thumbs up' it, and want to watch it. I keep forgetting. I think I shall try that, and Bleach. :) Thanks so much all! Reply #4. Sep 07 12, 9:59 AM |

You won't go wrong with Fullmetal Alchemist. It's only 51 episodes plus a movie though. They have a second series which is a retelling, but I don't know how good that one is. If you don't mind smaller series, you can try Hellsing (dark; vampires) or Samurai Champloo (comedy; middle age Japan). They don't really have endings, but the series were still pretty good.

Like everyone else said, you should try FMA if you haven't already. Good story & action. As for One Piece, it's not hard to find, but the anime is not as good as it used to be. You could try the manga there, if you want. Reply #6. Oct 17 12, 5:47 PM |

The Twelve Kingdoms is great epic fantasy. It fully creates its own world and has lots of well-developed characters. Reply #7. Feb 09 13, 9:12 AM |
