Oh, the entry-level/mainstream cancer is spreading in this thread again I see.
It doesn't matter whether or not you like the anime of others or think it is mainstream. I'm positive when you started watching anime you probably touched on the mainstreams before hitting deeper. Having that kind of attitude will keep people away from here and that is what is keeping this thread down.. You have to give people time to learn.
Fortunately for me I managed to dodge that bullet.
The issue, I think, is that we're gonna have a hard time keeping a balance. Speaking from experience here, you throw open the gates you end up with a thread which is dedicated to nothing but the mainstream stuff. The fact we migrated so much of the traffic from the regulars offsite isn't helping matters much either.

i don't understand. are we not allowed to talk about naruto, bleach, and one piece here?... it has to be a wicked old anime? i mean yes, i have watched/read others but nowadays those are the main three that i read.

My favorite anime, which I will heartily recommend to anyone who is looking for something to watch:
One Piece - love this one so much...Zoro ftw!
Fairy Tail - we're getting more episodes this April! Fairy Tail shall live again!
Naruto: Shippuuden - much darker and complex, a little filler-y, but when it gets to the manga parts, it's really good, much better than the original Naruto.
Bleach - this is a classic. Haven't read the manga since the show stopped, but I loved the show.
And, of course, the one that probably everybody has watched at some point (whether they know it or not):
Dragonball and Dragonball Z - the enjoyment level of these is over 9000!
P.S. One Piece is still better than Dragonball Z, imo
You do know that these are probably the most mainstream anime out there?
what does it matter if someone watches 'mainstream' anime or reads the manga. i wasn't introduced to any of this until i was 14 and my first manga was hikaru no go. even back then naruto, and one piece were some of the first ones i started to read. (bleach wasn't for another year or so) every now and again i try out other mangas but for the most part i only stick to three because if i tried keeping up with more than that, well lets just say it wouldn't work well for me. lol

Because kids who only watch or read "mainstream" stuff are obnoxious, generally the biggest of weeaboos, and talk about Naruto ad nauseam.
I like to encourage the watching/reading of other anime/manga, you know, actual good stuff.
not everyone grew up with the kind of anime/manga that you and others know and love. i was introduced to shonen jump at the age of 14. so whatever manga i read it came from there. i'm sorry i wasn't brought up to read the 'old' anime/mangas. that's like bashing people for liking mainstream music... or mainstream anything for that matter. i have a friend who only listens to underground rap because he believes that mainstream rap is complete and utter ****. i somewhat agree with him, but than again he doesn't go around bashing other people for liking mainstream rap. this is an anime thread, therefore anyone has the right to talk about any anime they want to talk about. i do understand that some people can be obnoxious, but i assure you i'm nothing like that.. i'm not even a big fan of naruto or bleach. i love one piece and that's about it. lol i just keep up to date with naruto and bleach.
