Anime List (Other than shoujo)

This thread posted solely to list non-shoujo anime (well, coz mostly are shounen/mecha) that I think worth watching. I’m not really a fan of shounen anime coz 1. some of them are just TOO long (100 plus episodes are consider short) 2. Some of them are just too bloody 3. Why do they have to make the girls’ body unbalanced (eg. The boobs are as big as watermelons)? or the girl is so cute to the point of ecchi. Some of the anime on the list are OLD, but I think it’s worth mentioning J ** The list is in random order.

Gundam 00 – Still ongoing. I just finished watching episode 24 and on the verge of crying. All stories of Gundam series involve heavy politics and the consequences of war. Gundam 00 really potrays how greedy humans can be and what the world become when those greedy humans are given power. Definitely must watch. Plus, kudos to the seiyus, they did a very fantastic job. And gotta love those Gundam suits.
Deathnote. I keep repeating reviewing this anime on my postings. Can’t get enough of this. What will you do if you’re given a notebook that can kill people by just writing their names on it?
Claymore. A very bloody anime. Claymores exist solely to kill youkais. However, when they themselves reach their limit, they will evolve into youkai too. A quite deep and dark anime.
D-Gray man – Still ongoing. One example of a never ending anime. Currently on episode 75, another new battle just started between the exorcists (Allen Walker and the Order) and Millenium Earl. None of the Noah Clans dies yet so will expect to have more and more episodes coming.
Bleach – Still ongoing. The manga is still running so chances of this never ending anime to end are reduced to 0. Getting more and more draggy nowadays, but nevertheless one of the popular anime out there.
Shugo Chara – Still ongoing. A cute anime. Everybody has an egg in their heart. This egg if nurtured can hatch and become your chara. Love it.
Bamboo Blade – Still ongoing. Just for your entertainment. The story is about a Kendo club and its member. Each member has different reasons on joining the club. One of them is to get free food.
Moyashimon – Still ongoing. Another funny anime but not sure on how the plot will go, which makes it interesting. Plus, those bacterias are cute.
Code Geass – the R series coming soon. Similar Gundam but more to physiological issue than the politics and the war itself. Lelouch’s character is similar to Raito’s Death Note. So you put this guy with the power of Geass…. A must watch.
Clannad – Still ongoing. My bro’s fave. The couple is very cute. It’s just that I haven’t seen the very funny scenes so far. But if you like The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, then definitely this is a must watch.
Inuyasha – Still ongoing (?). This one is a truly never ending anime. Run on about 200+ episodes already until I lost track on where should I continue to watch. But Inuyasha can be considered one of the best story-wise of the never ending anime. It’s not boring although sometimes it’s draggy.
Rosario Vampire – Still ongoing. I read the manga and it’s still on going. The story of a human boy stranded in a high school for youkai and stuck with a very powerful vampire girl (when unleashed) that loves his blood
Kodomo No Jikan. The anime is about a new teacher teaching primary 3 students who know more ecchi stuff then him. Actually the way those little girls talk and act will not be considered ecchi if they don’t put LOTS of cencors on it, which make us think it’s ecchi. But this is what makes this anime is so funny. If you’re a Lolita fan then this is a must watch.
