Finished Durarara, I wanna kick my own ass for not finishing it as fast as I should have. Season 2 hype.

I finished the first episode of Sword Art Online II. Honestly, I think I will enjoy this anime. The first episode doesn't always need to be a fantastic over the top thing to draw people in. It sometimes just needs to be a standard introductory to what's going on. If you judge an anime based on the first episode then you shouldn't be watching anime in the first place.

Most standard procedure that a lot of people take, synopsis somewhat interesting, watch, get 3 Episodes in, if you think it'll get better, continue, if not, drop and pick up something else.

I know the first episode is not the best way to judge an anime, but I did not like the idea on how people a few posts ago had said about how good the first episode was. Now there is a few shows where the first episode is so good, you pretty much have to watch the rest of the series *cough* Tokyo Ghoul *cough*.

On another note, Ao Haru Ride, feels anime of the summer, must watch. WATCH IT NAO!

How violent is Tokyo Ghoul? I heard it's really good, but I don't handle gore well at all. I mean if it's like Attack on Titan that's perfectly fine. If it's like Elfen Lied then it's definitely cutting it close. Anything beyond that I probably won't watch.

Worse than Attack on Titan, but not Elfen Lied level.

99% of the time, anime that have monster and youkai in them or whatever, and the battlefield is in the middle a city like Tokyo or others, it's crap. That's how I view it lol.
Though I actually liked Tokyo Ghoul based on the first episode though. Who knows what they will surprise us with? The one I'm pretty worried about is SAO II. If it's gunna be like the first season; super strong start at beginning, and just go whooooops, downhill? Idk what to say.

I liked Nura, it was a decent series.


but yeah, Tokyo Ghoul has more gore than AOT

So long as it's not Elfen Lied or above! I'll give it a shot. I finished watching Pandora Hearts after all this time. It's a shame it never continued as an anime.

Tokyo Ghoul is a hmmm. Zombie-ish type of anime. Like this dude got bit in the neck by a ghoul. She tried to eat him but died in the process and he ended up surviving. Next thing he figured out is he is half ghoul and half human. And ghouls only eat human flesh and cannot eat regular food. So he can only eat humans.

Based on the first episode, it seems like this is a bloody anime. But not even close to Attack on Titan or Elfen Lied's type of bloody so don't worry. No human bones will be sticking out. And sorry if the first paragraph spoils anything.

i might start watching anime any suggestions

Depends, what kind of series you want?
Some crazy Action?
Tear jerking drama?
Heart-throbbing romance?
Suspense riddled thrillers?
Side-splitting comedy?
or
A nice slow fun and cute slice of life?

wtf obviously action

Why no drama? Drama is life k; cri every time.
Let's name some of the most common action series used to introduced new watchers.

We have Sword Art Online, one of the most successful series to get people into anime. Has an amazing first episode that will automatically grab the attention of most people. It does a decent job throughout the rest of the series and is a great start to get people into anime. A series that will get you hook, but does not outshine all other anime, allowing you a chance to "taste" the other varieties. Second season is airing right now.

Another good gate-way anime is the super famous, Attack on Titan. For those action lovers, it has amazing animation and beautiful art style and watching the fights are breath taking. However if you are not into blood, you might want to save this for later and start with the above series. Also having a good hook on the first episodes, really satisfies many action lovers.

Off course some people will say, don't give the mainstream ones, but the mainstream anime does it job to introduce anime and allow the viewer to further expand the amount of anime to watch. That said the above series are not the best in my opinion, but certainly does it job.

Few sites to watch the above series:

Crunchyroll, legal site, but has ads and you need premium membership for HD and removal of ads.

http://www.crunchyroll.com/attack-on-titan

Site I use most often:
http://www.animerush.tv/anime/sword-art-online/
http://www.animerush.tv/anime/shingeki-no-kyojin/

For English dub sites, well I don't watch it in English dub, so you have to find it on your own, which I think Netflix has. I recommend watching it in English sub with Japanese voicing, but that's your choice.

thanks for the suggestions

Just realized I just told you why they are good and nothing about the series itself :P Well here is the synopsis:

Sword Art Online:
In the near future, a Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online has been released where players control their avatars with their bodies using a piece of technology called Nerve Gear. One day, players discover they cannot log out, as the game creator is holding them captive unless they reach the 100th floor of the game's tower and defeat the final boss. However, if they die in the game, they die in real life. Their struggle for survival starts now...

Attack on Titan:
Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by titans. Titans are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of titans.

Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a titan in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a colossal titan that appears out of thin air. As the smaller titans flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Eren vows that he will murder every single titan and take revenge for all of mankind.
