I think what went wrong with SAO was the entire structure of the show changed.

Then season 2 they dropped that entirely and made it a single season story arc with a ton of filler. It was no longer an interesting setting with interesting stories. It was a minorly interesting setting with a story that would have been interesting for 2 episodes.

I started to realize what had turned the show bad after a few of the in between episodes they did where they went on quests as a group and magically, the show was good again for that episode or two!

Well, I expected less harem crap and more.. I dont know.. action/fighting. Season 1 was what got me excited, then... yeah.

Same thing with Log Horizon S2. Really solid season 1 and good first few episodes of S2, then came along emo ninja girl (too lazy to look up her name). Gave up and started to watch non-action orientated series.

Recommend me some good horror/scary/thriller anime.

For example:

Elfin Lied
Attack on Titan
Gantz
Paranoia Agent
Death note

^^^ Examples I really loved ^^^

I've been awol off of the anime scene.

Higurashi
Umineko
Another
Corpse Party: Tortured souls
Darker than Black
Ergo Proxy
Ghost Hunt
Gokukoku no Brynhildr
High school of the dead (boobs and zombies)
Mirai Nikki
Welcome to the NHK
Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
Psycho-pass (Season 2 was someone of a letdown but still good)
Read or Die (OVA's and full series, watch OVA's first!!)
Serial Experiments Lain
Shiki
Psychic Detective Yakumo
Ghost Hound
Shinsekai Yori (From the new world. I highly recommend this!! 23 minutes turn into what seems like 5)
Speed Grapher
Steins;Gate
Zankyou no Terror

Honorable mention: Gakkou no kaidan. Long story short, the anime bombed in Japan so when the writers sold the license to the dubbers, they said to whatever it takes to sell. It was supposed to be a scary kid's show but turned into R18 gagfest. Do give this a watch, only dub that I enjoyed.

Two very good ones that soulreapersteve didn't post...

The Skull Man (Supernatural mystery/thriller)

and a very recent one from last season:

Parasyte the Maxim (Horror/thriller/action)

Special_K · 07-08-2015, 12:32 PM

Can we add The Boondocks to the list? Still counts in my book.

00NissanNinja · 07-08-2015, 11:09 PM

^Wow Riley and Sasuke's ass beatings are identical, man who picks that up haha.

cdrazic93 · 07-10-2015, 07:02 AM

you didnt know? gramma's a ninja.

btw, just saw naruto ep. 419. Slightly getting more epic, not gunna lie.

Teseo · 07-10-2015, 10:33 AM

Waiting for new Dragon Ball Z, i would like to see a remake of Gundam Wing with improved sfx and visuals

ichitaka05 · 07-17-2015, 07:42 PM

Have been watching new season of animes. There are few good ones

cdrazic93 · 07-31-2015, 07:35 AM

@Special_K, they sure know how to cut naruto off at the best times and add in filler episodes dont they?

Nevermore · 07-31-2015, 12:49 PM

Watched a cute little show called Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? It's a little fanservice-y, but it's not over the top. The premise is interesting as the characters are basically in an MMORPG, but not really. The world just operates like that. Adventurers go into a dungeon and fight monsters for EXP and they can gain skills and level up. I enjoyed the show and look forward to another season.

I don't even care anymore since all the recent "filler" is actually relevant. Plus, Might Guy is an absolute fucking beast. How badass would you feel if you were acknowledged as the strongest fighter ever faced by literally the most powerful villain known to man. If Guy could have lasted a couple minutes longer he could have singlehandedly beat Madara into submission. Gah I can't wait for next Thursday.

DanMachi for short is it's name. Freaking hilarious anime. It's SAO in comedy form. Even the same voice actor for the main protagonist.
