Forte Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I miss those days when Action anime actually packed some action. I miss FMA with its unique setting and lovable characters. I miss DBZ which brought out a series of intense and superb battles. I miss Code Geass with its unique plot, its nice arts and also its lovable and hateable protagonists. I miss Law of Ueki with its silly but nice story and protagonists. I don't care about round things. I don't need fanservice. I don't want to see too much unnecessary naked scenes or something similar. I just want some action, and maybe some comedy. Do you know any good action anime worth watching?

SakamotoX Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Have you ever seen Marchen Awakens Romance ? I think you might like this one, it's 102 episodes long and it's really nice to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashetania Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Well, you just named Top 2 anime of all time (FMA:Brotherhood and Code Geass). It's rare to get such epic anime at all. Though if you are looking for action, I recommend; Akame ga Kill Claymore Fate series (Fate/Stay Night etc.) To Aru series (To Aru Majutsu no Index, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun etc.) Rokka no Yuusha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XReaper Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 just watch "monster" & start drenching your pantsu in pee! best anime ever besides evangelion & ginga eiyuu densetsu anyway as for more recent ones pretty much everything gets ruined at one point, btw. there´s no much needed sequel in sight etc etc jada jada bla. in case those 3 recommended above arent to your liking try watching hunter x hunter, which should meet your standards in terms of having some seriously oldschool-ish touch to it. besides this one there´s always ushio to tora, a straight shounen with friendship as its core-element, as well as personal growth & overcoming hardships. edit: refrain from toriko, because -> ruined. if interested than you´re wayyyyy better off reading its related manga instead.

Hmm, I actually ever watched those two. But I stopped watching them at some point. The last scene of Samurai X I remember watching was the part when Kenshin was about to fight ShiShio (is that the right name? I don't quite remember); About Inuyasha I just watched some episodes randomly for the main series and skipped many episodes to watch the last arc which had 26 episodes if I'm not mistaken.

I've also seen Hunter x hunter and yeah, it's quite good but I heard that the manga was halted indefinitely and it caused me to stop watching the anime. I've been planning to watch Ushio to Tora.

Ushio to Tora is very good and gets much better by season 2, but it is not quite finished yet, and as much as I'm enjoying it, there's no way I'd rate it up there with FMAB standard. If you're okay with old school anime with lots of subplots intrigue, some action and a sci-fi bent, try Legend of Galactic Heroes; 110 episodes and a massive space opera but the old school animation may put you off unless you're driven more by story than animation. http://myanimelist.net/anime/820/Ginga_Eiyuu_Densetsu XReaper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action is only intermediate in that show I recommended as it has a lot of political intrigue and dialogue. Comedy virtually non-existent in it though. On the other hand, if you want tons of action and comedy, and I can't tell since you don't really have a watchlist whether you've seen it or not, you can't go past the other full metal - Full Metal Panic and its sequel Full Metal Panic the Second Raid. Mecha but superb characters, action and comedy. EDIT: I went through my own watchlist and came up with these great shows for action (though not so much comedy): Eureka seven (original) Last exile (original) Absolute duo Attack on Titan Cross Ange Gurren Lagann Kiddy Grade My Hime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo ghoul season 1 is pretty good, wouldnt really reccomend the anime of season 2 since they branched away from the manga and kind of screwed themselves, would still reccomend the manga though its pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenshin_sama Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Oh, sorry about that. Honestly, there haven't been that many notable action series that are light on fanservice lately. Although now that I think about it, One Punch Man would be right up your alley. The focus is pretty evenly split between action and comedy, and they're both really well done. The tension is toned down a little bit by Saitama's capabilities, but the animation is great and the sequences leading up the end of the fights are peculiarly exciting. It's a unique anime.

Fred the Barber Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Jojo is the only current standout action-oriented non-fanservice anime that I know of, although admittedly my knowledge isn't all that deep. But you have to be on board with the incredible cheesiness that pervades it, or you'll hate it. Personally, I think it's pretty great, but I watch it in small doses. I do really need to watch One Punch Man, but unfortunately it's not available for streaming on any service I have... XReaper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's bizarre about one punch man is everyone gets hard ons while talking about it, while after the initial grins I had with it I lost interest. The whole idea that he's super overpowered and can't lose a battle yet basically will remain treated like a street beggar just grates on my nerves. It stopped being funny after 3 or 4 episodes for me, but then my taste seems very different to others in that regard. Consider my opinion on it possibly unique in this world.

They're pretty tame compared to LOGH fans. And see that's where I'm the opposite. In a lot of ways, One Punch Man is set up to be antithetical to standard shounen stories, and the parts where he gets trashed on despite his incredible feats is just another way to establish that. Sure, it's not for everybody, but I appreciate it. The comedy did tone down a little after a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, its uniqueness became the source of my hesitation from watching the continuation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
