Crosmando: What? You predicted that Lio was going to be the final villain? He had what, a 5 second appearance in the second episode. I thought it was amazing how the show subverted the cliche of the main villain always being the final villain. Does GOG forums have spoiler/hide tags btw?

Azrael360: He was obviously up to something. And it was not only 5 seconds. There were conversatios about him sometimes in the movies, and when it appeared on screen, he was always "kind of" stalking Shiki. It had to re-appear in some moment, before the end. And I wish there were some sort of spoiler tag here, but it seems there isn't... :(
Oh yeah, he said something to Shiki implicating he thought she was responsible for the murders. I think what I meant is, that tiny scene kinda got forgotten in the rest of the all the huge plot points in the rest of the episodes, so when he did pop up in the final episode it was surprising.

I'm still not exactly sure how I felt about the episode with that school with all the girls in nun-like uniforms, the tone was completely different than everything else in the series, good for a side-story I guess. Also in the novels that girl who commits suicide by burning herself to death was a prostitute and drug addict, but in the anime the prostitution part is cut out entirely, and the drug reference only gets one short mention. Which itself is weird considering none of the mature content in the episode about Fujino is cut, apparently explicit rape is fine but references to drug addiction is taboo, lol japan.

I think "spoilers" only relate to things that haven't finished anyway. SO whatever.

A few that I think haven't been mentioned yet:

Revolutionary Girl Utena
Planetes
Mai-Hime
Gankutsuou
Berserk
Mahou Tsukai Tai! OVA
One Piece.


One outs, 25 episodes of pure awesomeness.
I have to ask everybody who participated in this thread : Nobody recommended Gintama ? Is it possible that no one here know/like it ? The two thing you have to do in life are to buy sacrifice (alledgedly) and give Gintama a try (if you are not into it after 10~20 episodes you can let it go ....but you have to give a try). Edit=> forgot my personnal recommandations : BECK, Samurai Shamploo, Mushishi, Baccano/Durarara (you have to watch baccano before durarara ...) , Eden of the East was also a good experience ... I certainly forgot some others

nijuu: Doesnt crunchyroll require paid subscription now? (read there is a week delay for new eps for free users...)
Yes it does but its worth it to me, and there apps work really well... ive cut the cord on cable so a few subscriptions is still cheaper than paying a cable bill. Kinda like Pandora vs XM/Sirius cheaper and works well

There's a few other sites which stream them for free ;)
Keep in mind that this is coming from someone who generally does not enjoy anime, so I don't know if this is a Nickelback-type back among Anime fans (i.e. popular for idiots), but I absolutely loved the Afro Samurai mini-series.
Woah! thanks for all of the suggestions, I will check out more, but first on my list are: Cowboy Bebop, Gun Grave, One Piece, and Blood+. Thanks

(if it is wrong if I post this I did not know mods and I will never do it again)

I know a website that has all the epiodes but be warned it less than 600 episodes and counting here

Can someone recommend me any paranormal, supernatural or horror anime which is similar to Jigoku Shojo? Doesn't need to be episodic, movie also will do.

If there's anime which is pretty close to Ju-On, The Grudge, or the one that's in Rattle-Rattle that's even better.

- Another
- Kikoushi Enma
- Paprika

- Play the game Chaos;Head is a very good horror-mistery visualnovel. (The anime isn't so good)

*Boogiepop Phantom
*Mononoke (not the Ghibli Princess Mononoke, the "Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales" Mononoke)
*Pet Shop of Horrors (though it only covers a small portion of the manga)
*Ghost Hound

less horror, but still some supernatural/karmic/etc. elements
*Mushishi
*Paranoia Agent
*xxxHolic

and maybe Shiki, I haven't seen it yet.
Thanks for the suggestion. I think i'll start with Ghost Hound first. I have the DVD since 2008, but never bother to watch the anime.
I still like 07-Ghost, so I can happily recommend it. First watch the anime, then, if you like it, go and read the manga. It's really fun, with good plot and interesting characters.
