    With my interest in this updated thanks to Edsta, I figure it's time to make one of these threads.

    I want to make a posting etiquette of one anime per person so an anime isn't repeated.
    I'd also like to follow a basic out line of

    Anime Name:
    Dub or Sub:
    Number of Episodes:
    Basic Plot:
    Reason why you like it:


    So with being the first poster, I will go first:


    Anime Name: Aldnoah Zero

    Dub or Sub: Sub, though I prefer Dubbed Animes, sub is the only available option right now

    Number of Episodes: First season - 13 Episodes

    Basic Plot: Earth is oppressed by Martians with superior technology that borders magic. An assassination is attempted against the young Martian princess whilst on a visit to Earth. Hell then proceeds to break lose.

    Reason why you like it: The story moves fast. You create a connection with most of the main characters within the first episode. Strategy is used on a wide scale throughout this storyline.

    This story could be taken on a whole deeper level with the Genocides committed by seemingly first world countries with superior technologies.

    @edsta024 whyuno post?!?


    Anime Name: Baccano
    Dub or Sub: Dub
    Number of Episodes: 16
    Basic Plot: There isn't a basic plot that you can follow. It jumps between story lines at random points. But it's about a train ride to New York in the early 1930's.
    Reason why you like it: It's not just something you watch one of. It's an anime where you have to be intelligent to keep up.

    I have to put it up..

    Anime Name: Code Geass

    Dub or Sub: Both are pretty good. I watched it as it aired in Japan, then in English.

    Number of Episodes: 50


    Basic Plot: A young man is given the power of persuasion, in a sense. He decides to use this power to make the world a better place.

    Reason you will like it: Another fast moving anime with a lot of action. It has good normal fights and glorious Mech fights. The story itself is an emotional and psychological rollercoaster.

    **If you watch this I STRONGLY recommend finishing it to the end. You will not gain a true appreciation nor understanding for the series unless you do. You miss out on the whirlwind of events that take place to take it where it ends up.

    Anime Name: Durarara

    Dub or Sub:Dub all day - Johnny Young Bosch fan girl here.

    Number of Episodes: S1- 26 episodes S2 - Not sure yet, it's only out in Japan

    Basic Plot: Like Bacano, there isn't a plot, so to speak. It jumps point of views and all sorts of fun things.

    Reason why you like it: You have to be intelligent to know what's going on. The goal of the author is to either

    A.) Confuse the shit out of everyone
    or
    B.) Mindfuck you. Not in a Code Geass sorta way though.
