P.P.S.: I dont like this recommendation stuff. The chart from /a/ works pretty well, and I don't like seeing good shows like Death Note not make lists because people think it's 'overrated' (and then see shows like Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou make it because it's 'underrated'). But what do I know, I'm just another one of those elitist bastards.[/quote Wrote:I don't really care if something is "overrated" or "underrated" really. If I like it, them I don't care what anyone else says about it.

- Strike Witches (I hate fanservice but I loved this show)
I was under the impression that this show was nothing but fanservice and WWII. Was going to give it a shot, but decided not to because of that thought.
Also, that's considered underrated? I always see people talking about that. Or at least, they used to back when it was airing.

EDIT: I realize most of you don't even know the series but... Captain Tsubasa anyone?[/color]
I've never been into sports anime, but I'm not into sports in general. Maybe I should just give one a try?

And since you mention it, I'm also surprised Death Note isn't there. I don't think it's a matter of "ugh, totally overrated" I think we just missed it. I'd like to think in the future, people could just come to this thread and ask "I've exhausted what I thought looked interesting on the list, what else is there or what on the list should I reconsider and try given x, x, and x." (Yeah, it was probably too soon for me to say I was surprised Nanoha wasn't mentioned. I just saw the Shoujo section and and thought "huh?")
And as for sci-fi, I think it's a good secondary label to denote stuff like mecha, or that the setting is futuristic, out in space, or whatever else like that. As a primary label though, I think it should be applied to shows that really spotlight technology and its implications and consequences. Stuff like Denno Coil, Ghost in the Shell, Serial Experiments Lain, even Eden of the East and Summer Wars to an extent. There aren't a ton of shows that fit that bill, but it's my absolute favorite genre/subject matter, so I'd like to see if any more good shows I haven't seen pop up by my definition. I won't ask things to be rearranged, but there's my two cents on sci-fi.
Agreeing with this. I don't think any of us thought "I would recommend this show, but it's totally overrated, lol!" when coming up with suggestions. The list is still being made, it's not like it's finalized. If you know something good that isn't there, then point it out. We probably just didn't have it on our minds at the time. I know some of the posts in this thread make me feel dumb for forgetting to give them a mention.
Besides, having a list more organized than the /a/ recommendation list (there are quite a few of them running around as well) is nice. Also gives you a nice idea of what the majority of SP likes and dislikes, so perhaps you can contact a specific member for more series that aren't on the list if you find you have similar tastes.
