For those who desire to look like an anime character… you know, cause that sort of thing is cool.

With Anime getting quite a bit more exposure than previous days, many people new to the scene want to know what there is to watch other than the famed 3 : Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, undoubtedly some of the most popular animes of all time. I don’t think I need to add them to this list, because if you haven’t watched them, chances are you aren’t even interested in Anime? Anyway, once you’ve caught up to the newest releases and are waiting the over-night subs to trickle over to the US via the world wide web, what else is there to watch? Here’s a few of my favorites for you to fill those empty slots up with that won’t just be another filler for the day. I recommend watching all anime in their native language, there’s an entire career to be had for voice actor/actresses in Japan, some even become Idols and sign record deals… but if you absolutely must, I would recommend just about any anime that ADV has done with Luci Christian as one of the voice actresses. You’ll be thoroughly amazed and appreciate just how much a Voice Actor/Actress can step up the Anime series. Luci is by far one of my most favorite voice actresses and I can honestly say I’ve only not seen like 4 off the list that Wiki has listed for Luci, and they’re all worth watching. here’s Luci Christian’s wiki page. Just to clarify, there are many that I’ve omitted from this list since I’ve already listed them in the manga top 10 or what not, great shows like G.T.O and the likes. If there is any COMPLETED show that you feel it must absolutely go on this recommended must see list, please leave it in the comments area. Share the goods peeps!

Here are my COMPLETED anime recommendations, not in any order, since you should watch them ALL anyway!!

Full Metal Panic!
This anime was the “gateway drug” that got me hooked. It has everything you’d want in an Anime and more. The 2nd season, “Full Metal Panic, Fumoffu?” and 3rd season “Second Raid” are also complete, check them out too! Sousuke Sagara, a sixteen year old military specialist working for the secret organization MITHRIL, has been assigned to protect the latest “Whispered” candidate Kaname Chidori. To complete this task Sousuke will have to deal with enemies from his past as well as the occasional panty thief. Unfortunately for Sousuke, the toughest part of his mission isn’t  protecting Miss Chidori but also getting used to living an average High School students life, no easy task for someone raised on the battlefield.

A computer-generated anime adaptation of Cat Shit One by Studio Anima is set to come to the US in early 2010. The original manga is about three American soldiers in operation during the Vietnamese war. In the series the battleground has shifted into Middle East where the bunnies are trying to rescue hostages held by some guerrillas.

Bota, Perky and Rats are the names of the three US bunny recon group. The use of bunnies as Americans are based on a Japanese pun, as bunnies are “usagi”, aka U.S.A. G.I.’s.  I think the name reflects against the original enemies in the manga, aka the vietnamese Cats, but now that they’ve moved the setting to the middle east, they’re actually up against Camels.

The concept of “Apocalypse Meow” is simply that since these days people are too used to seeing people dying in movies, the producers hoped that the use of cute and fluffy animals as characters could give viewers a stronger feeling of the misery of the wars [via Patrickmacias]
