I do not mean to demean anyone's suggestions, but there is always a fatal flaw in threads like these. They lose focus. People stop suggesting similar series to those listed, and then random suggestions are made, nearly always currently airing series (or ones currently being subbed, but finshed airing).
Personally, I abhor threads like these, but unless there are rules against it or a sticky, people who can't seem to find things to watch on their own will just keep making them. I'll admit they have a purpose, but most requesters are better off just trying random series to see if any strike you, or checking databases like Anime-Planet for recommendations. The threads do tend to be even less random in choices and usually make better suggestions that the database sites...until they begin to lose focus.
Please stop making random suggestions. I know you like(d) this series or that series, and having them currently/recently airing helps requesters obtain access to them easier, but it destroys the purpose of these threads. Despite how much I hate these threads, I'd like to suggest a few things to keep it as constructive as possible.
-If you've only seen one or two of the series they've mentioned, please only comment on those series. The worst thing that can happen to these threads is "Well, I didn't see any of those, but you might like [totally random series]."
-If possible, take into account all of their suggestions to bring up one or two series that may share elements of each of them.
-Remember to suggest series from more than two or three seasons. I can't stress this one enough. There are a lot of good series from years ago (even in the 80's) and you shouldn't forget about them, just because they're really old. So far, this has been kept up in this thread, but I've seen too many threads that forget that anime is older than the previous season.
Just keep these in mind when making further suggestions. I know this post will be buried in the middle of this thread, but I'll probably try to refer to it often.
