Ah, Excel Saga. Fun times.

Well for one, it'd be nice if it didn't involve goddamned middle to high school students.


this, 100% this

it's really annoying to always see middle tob highschool kids as the cast of every fething anime, it gets really annoying really fast.

some good anime with older casts you may like:
- golgo 13
- eden of the east
- lupin the 3rd
- ergo proxy
- monster
- excel saga


trigun, outlaw star, dragon ball z, valkyria chronicles, blue submarine no.6, Mobile Suit Gundam 008th MS team. But you guys are right, they are mostly made up of a younger generation lol
Id list Full Metal Alchemist, but the Elrics are younger

However, they aren't high school students at least even if they're teenagers. FMA I wouldn't classify as a high school anime because of this.

G13 was awsome. The origional OVA and the new sceries where both well done IMHO. Gotta love Duke Togo. =o]

I would also suggest Melissa Legend of the Galactic Hero's. Good show, main cast are all solders not whiney highschool kids. The space battle scene's are set to classical music while involving 50,000-150,000 ships per side. I'm at around episode 42 or so. Lots of politicing and backstabbing. Over all I give it a 9/10. My only problem is that is not translated into English, if you want to watch it you have to watch it sub titled but that is alright Central Anime did a damn good job imho.

I second the suggestion for Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Its an awesome show, but I absolutely hated Yang in that show. It was like watching L from deathnote all over again except in space.

I ghess having a cast in hight school never really annoyed me since I am in hight school.... You do have a point though. It is stratigic though. They make the protagonists in highschool so that they appeal to a larger audience. They are mature enough that adults can watch them and not pull all their hair out but younger kids can look up to them too.

As for at least mostly more mature stuff, also check out Black Heaven and maybe Irresponsible Captain Tylor.

Been watching Moretsu Pirates, and enjoying the hell out of it.

Its a somewhat slow series, but its the best Anime I've watched in a long time. It really feels like a 90s series.

Watching Juni Ito's "Gyo"

best known for his extreme horror stories.

Anime might contain situations not suitable for minors, viewer discretion is advised.
Yesh its a shark :3

I think in biology class they taught us how cells evolved or mutated. How it went from a plain protoplasm to ones with "hairs" which then turned into
means of locomotion.

Now if we take that concept and applies it to those fishes @_@ ...

Yea. At the end they clamed that the bot parts wern't manmade, they have no screws or something. I thought that hay, why don't they just take out the bots, then no more problem, but if the fish are making them for themselfs. Ok this is just weird, and the Earth is screwed. This stuff more potant that chaos, I swear. They just need to strange particle bomb the crap out if the planet before it spreads.


Now I want to see. Fish vs. nids and fish vs. flood. Yummy.

Due to me having some spare time, I'm not sure what Anime to watch.

I've heard nothing but good things about both Avatar and Darker than Black, which would you guys recommend?

I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

I started it, and it seems pretty interesting. I really like those Japanese masks that he and Ichigo (from bleach), along with the type that Corpses has.

Not seen Darker than Black, but Avatar The Last Airbender is pretty awesome. That reminds me, I should check out the status of the second series of that show....

Finished Gyo, it's quite different.

If I had to try to compare it to something, I'd say it's like a zombie movie.


Darker than Black is decent, though I have not gotten around to watching the second season yet.

Did anybody else figure out the twist? In the 6th sense its the guy is really dead, in the village it is the monsters arn't real and its modern times.
In Avatar? The original is an incredible story, good action and voice overs. The twist for the live action is that you are expecting the same, but it turns out to be crap!
