Basilisk?
I don't think it's Basilisk... but this still looks dope! Gonna check out Death Note first though.
The anime series I don't know the name... I remember an ep where this lizard looking dude who spits poison/acid is fighting a human dude who uses strings/wires to dismember mofos. The fight is stopped before they kill each other. The 2 rival schools despise each other in a honorably manner I suppose.

You think? I mean FMA is a well written story with a believable world. The attention to detail in it's society is pretty astounding, & there is an amazing conclusion to the story.
Bleach is about a 15 year old highschool kid who fights ghosts... that noone else can see? The action scenes in it are cheesy IMO. I saw the ep where an innocent human, who turned into a demon was then enslaved as his personal teddy bear, all the while talking about morals & shit. I just laughed the whole time @ the show, not with it.
Some seem to worship the show to no end, while others write it off as one of the worst shows in a while. I am mildly prejudiced to think I belong in the latter group, but I can't say much without having seen a single episode. We will see how it goes
Really? I liked them all. The first episode had a spectacular panoramic view of the city from the rooftop among other things to keep you busy :thumbsup:
Some parts can drag, but the overall series has been truly epic.

Claymore is absolutely beautiful. Give it a shot
Berserk is pretty cool, excessive violence FTW
Ghost in the Shell :thumbsup:
School Rumble is recent-ish, check it out, comedy,
Lucky Star I just started watching, the first episode sucks but it starts becoming mildly funny. Worth seeing, you'll like it if you enjoyed Azumanga Daioh (older, worth seeing)
Haruhi Suzumiya is still recent, it's a comedy and worth seeing at least once. Some people really love this one
Full Metal Panic The Second Raid isn't that old, and it was pretty awesome. Check out Fumoffu and the original FMP is you haven't seen them already.
Note: Fumoffu is all of the comedic parts left out of the first FMP, and The Second Raid is the proper sequel to the original FMP and retains a lot of the comedy present in Fumoffu
I recommend One Piece, if you're willing to sit down to (approaching) 400 episodes
One Piece stands alone in that it has significant story progression throughout its many arcs. It's typical of long running anime to repeat a basic arc over and over, but swapping out villains. One Piece is guilty of this for perhaps the first season (when there are only 2-3 main characters), but it has escalated into a story of epic proportions. It has gone from a simple story of an honest pirate to an epic story featuring an international conspiracy and a full cast of characters filling the spectrum of personalities. Some of the fights are somewhat ridiculous, but all of the plot is excellent. The art style requires some getting used to. I'd say easily 80% of the episodes are worth watching (whereas Naruto and Bleach and other long running classics struggle to hit 50%).
For a good idea of how the rest of the story will go, you have to watch One Piece through the final island of East Blue, before entering the Grand Line. By this point, most of the main characters have appeared and their back stories have been covered (and won't be covered again except in clip episodes, which are easily skipped), and the true story begins. The crew is not complete, but you really begin to feel that this series has serious potential by this point. So far, I have not been disappointed.
I recently saw Ouran High School Host Club and thought there was some true comedic genius in there. It's reverse harem, but that never stops this series from being hilarious
This is madness! You pedophilic bastards
yet another show with an addicting ending sequence.

The problem with Cromartie is overreliance on Freddie and Mekazawa, becoming too stylized and predictable toward the end. As much as I like Wakamoto Norio for his excellent voice acting, Mekazawa was getting more and more unfunny to me. I wish they had more of Hokuto and his henchman though
