Whats You'r Favorite Anime? ^^

F.L.C.L. I loved how random it was. It helped me threw a very tough time in a friends life when we needed some good WTF was that moments. All snuggeled up on the couch laughing our arses off or staring at each other going "Que?"

After that I would say Macross origional.

and third in my list would be "Gun Sword" I know a friend that puts every condement available on every food he eats after watching that anime we always called him Van afterwards. Those are my favs

#1:


Ghost in the Shell movies + series. They are some of the most well done animes in my opinion. It's also what I hope the future will be like.

#2


For how large the cast is, they do an amazing job of giving them all a backstory and flushing out each individual person's character.

#3


A short, 13 episode, series. What drew me in was the, at least attempted, use of real world physics in the show. none of this instant-stop, sound in space, etc... stuff as seen in almost all other space anime.

#4


A unique anime, in that there is no "main" character. The story is told from multiple viewpoints and multiple time-points, jumping back and forth through an inter-weaved story.

Trigun

Speaking of Ghost in the Shell, my new all-time favorite anime, Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, was directed by the same director of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Kenji Kamiyama.



I really love his style, and WISH TO GOD HE'D MAKE AT LEAST ONE SEQUEL TO MORIBTIO, GDI. :<<<<<<

It's based on a series of 10 novels written by Nahoko Uehashi; the first two novels have been translated and published here in the US, but they've stopped completely due to a lacking audience.... Which freaking sucks, buuut this is actually one of the rare cases in which I like the anime better than the original novel (or manga). The characters are so much more developed, and the few action scenes are intense and immensely detailed.

One interesting thing to note that bumped this anime to #1 on my list (sorry The Third ~Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo) was the fact that there was absolutely no fanservice. I mean, yeah, it's about a 30-year-old female spearwielder, but there's no unnecessary scenes that make you roll your eyes, just a fluid and enjoyable plot that you never want to end.

oh ya, and chobits is hilarious....and Vandread was a good one, so was Cowboy Bebop..and "Those Who Hunt Elves" very funny anime series there lol and Area 88 (if anybody has played the old old SNES game "UN Squadron"..it was based on that anime)

cant think of anymore, I know that it is a lot lol

edit Guin Saga

Surprised nobody has cried about the title yet.

I see a lot of DBZ showing up, I never liked that program at all, don't know if it was the style of art, or watching all the muscley guys fighting, but it never interested me at all. It's kinda strange cause I liked all sort of anime as a child, and DBZ was a show that was on a lot whilst I was growing up. I was always more into my Pokemon, Beyblade, Digimon etc. Not dissing anyone for liking it, I'm just not too sure how it's so appealing to people.

I'd also like to add Beyblade to my list I made earlier, it's a great show ^.~

Chobits...and La Blue Girl..............dont judge me

went to an anime convention once and saw a poster...thats how the addiction started

Idk it looked good to begin with. I mean robot girls that does anything you want!?!

Personally I consider kimi ga nozomu eien (god that's a real tear jerker), Hayate no gotuko, and Kaichou wa Maid-sama much more guilty pleasures. Though still not really sure what that last one is about as I've only seen like 3 episodes

Gravitation > Death Note > Inuyasha > FLCL

Ikki Tousen

Oh yeah and paranoia agent because I still have no real idea what it's about

<.<

I'd call Nana my guilty pleasure, such a girly anime.

<3

Figured I'd add a few more
=============================
Umineko no Naku Koro ni

Done by the same people as Higurashi

Time of Eve

6 episodes, but amazing

Pale Cocoon

oneshot; very well done, best part is near the end.

Serial Experiments Lain

This one is a big mindf***

Dennou Coil

On the surface, this looks like a kiddy anime, but don't let that fool you.


Madlax

Love the music used in this. I've had it on repeat for months.

Hellsing Ultimate

Last of the OVAs are still being made. Read the manga if you don't want to wait.

Appleseed
+
2 movies, I'd rate them almost up there with GitS.

Ah! My Goddess

This one is my guilty pleasure

Magic Knight Rayearth was a good view, if you haven't seen it, they got Season 1 of it on Hulu now, so no excuse on that part. Azumanga Daioh is a definite must-see series as well

Others i've liked include: Inuyasha, the entire Dragonball Saga (the original and Z moreso than GT...), Sailor Moon, FMA, Full Metal Panic (still need to watch through Fumofuu and TSR ._.) Gundam (mostly Wing/Seed/Seed Destiny, though had no real issues with 00) Code Geass (need to borrow that from a friend, since i missed the last few episodes on AS... curse drinking lol. Uh lets see what else... friend of mine got me into Fate/Stay Night (which was a good series as well), School Rumble was decent (thanks Hulu for that one), Evangelion was kinda overated, and just plain weird towards the end... Bleach (at the start) was ok, too much filler is killing it though... couldn't stand Naruto or One Piece (though that was the 4Kids dub... LOL at that)

Oldies and goodies include Outlaw Star, Utawaremono (i know i screwed the spelling up on that one...) Crest of the Stars was an ok series as well as Galaxy Angel. Theres some I've heard are good, but haven't had the chance to see yet, like Excel Saga, and the 2nd season of Haruhi Suzumiya... (tho from the Endless 8 talks, many people got turned off by it), though definetly recommend Season 1 of it at the least

Anyways, I could go on all night if I had the chance, but I think I'm gonna go watch something before I go to sleep <.>

I could go on and on, but meh lol. Then again, most all of the series that were aired on Cartoon Network (either Toonami or AS) I watched at one point or another

Ahh yeah, one more that is a decent watch: Sola, friend of mine got me into it, was a good series as well

I liked the story of appleseed but couldn't stand the animation style...

Back on topic

Surprised no one mentioned Eden of the East, I don't know why I love it so much. The intro is also awesome (outro too actually...)



Others I really liked

Deathnote
Cowboy Bebop
Code Geass
Armitage III
Gundam Wing

I think Gundam Wing is what really got me into anime. Can't go wrong with Mecha

X , soultaker ,vandread and kite

X the series will always be the best

There is only one anime, and it's Tekkaman Blade.



I have the;

Laser Disc(Series)
DVD US Release(Media Blasters release)
Fan-Sub DVD (From LA for as far as they went with it)
4/5 90's Bandai Model Kits
It's OST in it's entirety
A limited edition JP phone card.
The Super Famicom Game(That's JP SNES for all you idiots)
The recent diecast Toyami Bandai released models with Blade and Pegas
The Tatsunoko vs Capcom LE card (Full set)
And the Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Hap parted Mad Catz stick.

Many may know this as Teknoman, which aired on UPN(From Saban) back in the mid 90's. It was sort of a follow up to the old Tatsunoko series Tekkaman The Space Knight(Which I also have on boot-leg DVD, and it isn't very good).



Needless to say, it is considered by many to be one of the greatest hand-drawn series of it's time. The story is by far one of the best to be told robot series without lagging with a ton of crap filler episodes(Looking at you Gundam).

Tekkaman Blade and company do appear in Banpresto's Super Robot Wars J for the GBA and Super Robot Wars W for the DS



And was an addition to the North American release of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom



Most of my character names come from this show. That's how nuts I am about it :)

i've seen all these series and liked them, most are newish and the list isnt complete, working on adding more to my list xD i dont really have a preference in genre, i just watch too much anime it seems :|

now thats a long list; ;

Totally!

I have a good idea whats gonna happen in season 3 from ppl that translate and all i think is that its gonna be so good they showing all the "slice of life" stuff now so it can go full throttle!

Divine Fist of the North Star is the best anime in the world. Amazingly epic. It's a mature anime though, blood, mature themes ect.

Dragon Ball Z of coarse is a classic. Trigun is one of my favorites, Samurai X and most of the Samurai animes.(go figure)

I've also really loved Initial D. If you like drifting it's a very nice anime.

You know I changed my mind on my favorite..... KARAS you can has this!

Now tell me this didnt have the most insane epic fights.

Prince of tennis BURRRNING!!

My favorite anime has always been Ranma ½.
