you should open your eyes up to more intelligent anime, there's a lot better animes than claymore or the likes of it

personally if you think claymore was good and elfen lied was decent you got a pretty bad perception of what good anime is

Or maybe you just have bad taste, because I think Claymore was good and Elfen Lied was decent.

Berserk isn't overrated, it's a fucking classic, of course it gets a lot of praise. Overrated would be if it came out this year and everyone went crazy about it. People are just nostalgic about it, there's nothing to "overrate".

Now that's some pretentious and arrogant bullshit if I ever saw some. Just because you're only able to enjoy niched anime that caters to your self-deluded "intellect" doesn't mean others aren't able to watch a broader spectrum of anime.

And if you're gonna be pretentious and arrogant, at least back your posts up with some substance because nobody will take you seriously.

The main reason I didn't like berserk and why I wouldn't recommend it (don't get why people do) is because it is completely unfinished, anime abruptly ends. not worth the investment unless maybe you want to go on to read the rest.

it did come out in the 80s so I can forgive it some of the extreme tackiness. plus I still listen to this song 

PS: elfen lied is for horny adolescents its hardly intelligent.

hint: claymore wasn't finished either banok (the anime)

Not everything has to be "intelligent". For me, art, books, anything creative has a message. Whether that message is a feeling, a question to be thought over, a societal issue to be debated or a technically masterful work, it's all up to how the person conveys the message.

If you look at things from this perspective, I think you will be more forgiving when considering what anime's are "low-brow" or "unintelligent".

At least that's how I view things.

Started watching Darker Than Black.

So far I am liking it.  Thanks for the other recommendations though, will eventually get to them.

I thought Darker than Black was pretty good but there was something lacking that made it great you know, the same thing with Ghost in the shell in my opinion.

back your posts up with some substance

I enjoyed Psycho-Pass, Ookami to Koushinryou, Code Geass was good but it felt really predictable imo, Fate/Zero was pretty good as well. Steins;gate was great.

Oops, just realized I did a double post...

Darker than Black is a great anime...

mm but i felt that the second season wasn't really cohesive with the first, maybe that's just me. I really enjoyed the first season though.

[Lizard_man]

That's something I can agree with, in fact, I only watched the second season through once, it was a disappointment...

[Shemaforash]

I'll admit I was looking forward a lot to Sword art but personally for me it ended when it went to the next non-sword art online arc.

Just a fan trailer, but this a great series, definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it...
