, plus, it was the only game I got a platinum trophy for.
Another thing, I had to switch Ni no kuni to Japanese voice acting with subtitles, how I prefer it.
Top on is from K-On! It's a slice of life anime about a group of girls that form a music club at their school, it's really charming and funny.
The bottom one is from Carnival Phantasm. It's a parody of various Type-moon games most notable the FATE series and Shingetsutan Tsukihime. It's watchable as a stand alone, but I would highly recommend that if you are going to watch Carnival Phantasm at a later stage that, you watch FATE/Zero and FATE/Unlimited Blade Works. There is also FATE/Stay Night which is similar to Unlimited Blade works but tells a slightly different story. These serve as the basis of all the parodies and humor in the series.
Saber fighting Berserker: FATE/Zero
Games! I have Dragon Quest and Valkyria Chronicles remastered on PS4, I want to play them so badly but I need to get through these exams first. Then there is a mountain of other games that require my attention too I wish I had a PS3 sometimes so I could enjoy the Tales series and Ni No Kuni, I have heard so much about about it. I loved the use of cel shading to give the illusion that you are playing an anime. Sadly I can only dream for a PC/PS4 port.
With the audio tracks, I am 99% Japanese unless, it has some top quality English Voice actors. Games it is subs all the way! It add's to the immersion with Anime it's a little different. If they have great English audio tracks, when I do a re-watch I normally watch in English. I know whats going on so my attention can be drawn to other things.
I found Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, FLCL and especially Hellsing Ultimate to have great dubs. Hellsing's team really want to town with getting French, British, German and Scottish voice actors to full the roles to make it more immersive.

One that I remember being a bit different was Break Blade or Broken Blade, depending on where you're looking. It was a nice and short one, I didn't think much of it when I watched it but I still remember everything that went on so it left quite an impression on me.
I watched Code Geass when it aired back in 2007 then I re-watched it about ~3 years ago. I still found the plot twists and cliff hanger endings surprising. It's one of those shows that will for ever and always be very, very good.

As much as I appreciated the skilfully illustrated nipples, the story wasn't all that good.
I agree. I believe the popularity on Elfen Lied stems from the the super violence and partial nudity. Surprisingly, I have still to watch it!
*SUPER EDIT*
Let me know if you are looking for some anime films. I have seen a great deal and all of them are amazing.
