Favorite Anime?

[OFY]

I personally don't like anime all that much, but Claymore was one of the most interesting shows I have ever seen. I actually it enjoyed it sooooo much I made my username related to one of the characters from the show.

<333 ophelia

I hope a second season comes out, the ending for the 1st season was soooo bad.

 

[CinatoastB3]

this is my kinda place
i love code geass and theres like noone on the forums of anime that put code geass as their favorite

 

[Iri5hL3gaCY]

from what i've seen so far:

fullmetal alchemist
code geass
neon genesis evangelion
dragonball z
bleach
naruto

 

[Bassoonist]

My last post in here probably centered around Trigun. Well now I have a new favorite anime!

One Piece.

I never thought I'd consider one of the more stereotypical Shonen anime my favorite, but One Piece is just that good.

 

[Zip.]

I have quite a bit of anime i like,but the one i can think of atm is Full Metal panic fumoffu..;3

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I'm currently watching "Saki" for you Mahjong players out there <.<

Definitely, man!

The manga is amazing. The anime started off shaky because the animation quality couldn't really live up to the manga's appeal, but lately the anime has been stepping it up... a lot. One Piece is definitely my favorite manga...

However, to this day, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is still my favorite anime.

[Frank West]

Higurashi hands down

 

[Fuelbi]

I love the dragon ball z series. by far that is my most favorite anime. lots of action, cursing, blood. all what makes a great tv show

 

[GENRL MILLS]

I basically just started watching anime but my favorite would probably be Death Note followed closely behind by Full Metal Alchemist and Naruto... I've been watching a little of Soul Eater but I'm really just need a really good series to start...

 

[integrebel]

Rurouni Kenshin, Yuyu Hakusho, Initial D, and Wangan Midnight
not much of a big anime fan(except Initial D) but these 4 are on my top list =)

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Full Metal Alchemist
Does Avatar count?

 

[sakuraZaKi]

In my opinion, Avatar is in it's own unique class of animation. I've never seen an anime that looks like it, lol.

Story-wise, yes, if it were made into something KyoAni or some other company could do. Animation-wise, a little iffy.

 

[solitonmedic]

I like Lucky☆Star, DeathNote, and D.N. Angel.

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Yeah Avatar does look a little un-animeish...

 

[UberMario]

Hamtaro

Pokemon and Digimon are a close second and third.

 

[4Serial]

One Piece is aamaaaazziinnggg

 

[Jonkku]

My favourites are, in no particular order:

# Serial Experiments Lain (Even though it brought up more questions than it answered, I still like it)
# FullMetal Alchemist (Manga + the new anime.. The first one was kind of "Meh..")
# Death Note (Haven't wathed the anime, so talking about the manga)
# Elfen Lied (Same as DN)
# K-On!
# Lucky Star
# Detective Conan (Again, manga only)

And if movies count, them I'll also say that Hayako Miyazaki's movies are amazing (Especially "My neighbor Totoro", "Spirited Away" and "Princess Mononoke".. I think those are their English names.)

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Yeah, those are the correct titles. Miyazaki is win. Spirited Away is my fav.

Did I mention that I <3 K-ON!, Haruhi, CLANNAD, s-CRY-ed, Shana, Saki, sola, Zero no Tsukaima, Maria Holic, Toradora, Gundam 00, Nabari no Ou, Chobits, Negima!, Hayate no Gotoku, Code Geass...

There's more where that came from. I used to be a Dragonball too many years back. Now look at me.

Most of these are fanservice shows, lol.

 

[Jonkku]

Yeah, I used to like Dragonball and Naruto years ago..

I used to be a Dragonball too

lolz..

 

[WolfenMiatang]

Initial D
Wangan Midnight
Full Metal Alchemist
Yuyu Hakusho
Ruroani Kenshin

...pretty much it

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Yeah, I used to like Dragonball and Naruto years ago..

lolz..

Just so you know, that was intentional, lol. I used to call DB fanatics

Spoiler

Dragonballs <.<

 

[Cam3ron]

Code Geass FTW!!!
Rurouni Kenshin ( I havent finished it though but i <3 that one)

 

[Omnicron's Baklava Enterprises]

Full Metal Alchemist
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

 

[Chris Lionheart]

1) Code Geass (R1 and R2)
2) Hellsing OVA
3) Fullmetal Alchemist
4) Yu Yu Hakusho
5) Rurouni Kenshin

 

[Mota]

---Code Geass and Death Note.---


Nothing else really post worthy.

I really have to watch more animes. Haven't any time T_T

 

[codfish92]

old pokemon series **** yeah. that was my life blood back in the day. i even remember the theme song. and yes i know i'm a nerd.
"i wanna be the very best. like no one ever was. ..." i could go on, but that is unnecessary

 

[iDeo]

1: Get Backers
2: Gundam Wing
3: Air Gear
4: Beyblade
5: 07 Ghost

 

[Anth0ny]

1) Dragon Ball Z
2) One Piece
3) Dragon Ball
4) Code Geass R1 and R2
5) Digimon Adventures 1

Haruhi and Death Note are up there. And, of course, Pokemon.

 

[Caleb Wolfbrand]

1. Zeta Gundam. if you've seen Gundam Wing, like it, go back and look at when Zeta came out, watch it, then hopefully realize something. I'm not sure what, but that's what happened to me.

2. Revolutionary Girl Utena / Shojou Kakumei Utena (think I spelled right)
Grew up on it. Changed my perspective on everything media-related. Greatly influenced me as a writer.

3. Big O. Schwarzwald, enough said.
4. Ninja Scroll (movie and series)
5. FullMetal Alchemist
honorables : Slayers Motion Picture, Bebop, Trigun, YuYu Hakusho, Outlaw Star, Death Note, Eureka 7

I don't know much new anime, but I everytime I see something new I don't usually like it. Death Note was pretty excellent, but everything else I see is generally unacceptable to me. Recently I tried to watch Gundam 00, and I did, but I didn't like it (just like SEED...)

I'm pretty picky. Sometimes I have really strange reasons for liking things. Blarg.

 

[dawgbowl]

1: Get Backers
2: Gundam Wing
3: Air Gear
4: Beyblade
5: 07 Ghost

YES AIR GEAR why did they cancel it and make it manga only

 

[day-day]

This is my list although I don't watch anime as much as I used to.
1. DBZ
2. Kenshin
3. Trigun
4. Hakusho
5. Blue Gender

Never could get into Naruto or Bleach. Although I watch bleach at times when there's nothing else on tv, it's nearly impossible for me to watch it now cause I have no idea who half these characters are.

 

[yoshmaster5]

Oh man, that is tough... there are a number that I really like.

In no particular order, just when they pop up.

1. Bishoujou Senshi Sailor Moon (S and Stars are my favorite seasons. Saturn, FTW)
2. Mobile Suit Gundam: 8th MS Team (Really well done, IMO. Best character development in Gundam, plus my favorite gundam fight in episode 10)
3. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (We can do whatever though the sheer power of our AWESOMENESS!!! FEAR IT!!)
4. Cowboy Bebop (Need I explain?)
5. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (Again, need I explain?)
6. Kodomo no Omocha (hilarious. What happens when a Shoujou series is on CRACK)
7. Death Note (Another, no explaination needed)
8. Black Lagoon (Most violently hilarious series I have ever seen)

Other good series, or just certain parts that I like:
1. Tsubasa Reservior Chronicle (the OVAs Tokyo Revelations and Shunraiki. Not a fan of the anime, but the manga is fun/entertaining/CLAMP, WTF IS GOING ON?!)
2. xxxHolic (See above statement for manga... and it is actually LESS confusing)
3. Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch (Very well done, but... it gets... really over the top later...)
4. Bleach (it's fun... that's all I can really say, up though Soul Society arc was great... after that, it kind of... got way, way, way overboard)
5. Chobits (Manga, not anime. Anime is... well, mainly filler, and it's not as well done as the manga)
6. Kodomo no Jikan (Psychoanalysis, FTW! Freud, you magnificant ******* you... so many psychological issues in this it's astounding)
7. Rurouni Kenshin (The matrix with swords)
8. Cardcaptor Sakura (Again, just something fun. Manga's better though... and yes, I do like CLAMP's stuff)

[Super Touhey]

My top four are all 10/10's by the way. Had to be picky to make a list.

1. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Never thought a shounen/mecha anime would make it past FMA and Death note, but it seems it takes everything from those genres and does it perfectly. I was REALLY excited when I was watching this show. I probably looked like an idiot jumping out of my seat, and staring at the screen two inches in front of me.
2. Fullmetal Alchemist. Never a dull moment in this show. It had great character development, and a fascinating, thought provoking plot line. Every episode was high quality, and I even enjoyed filler episodes.
3. Death Note. Intriguing plot line, and the suspense driven theme was a refreshing change from all of the action based shows out there. Only problem I had was that there were a few episodes in the middle of the series that were boring and seemingly pointless. Otherwise, it'd be ranked higher.
4. Code Geass/Code Geass R2. Took a lot of the elements from Death Note and mixed it with a mecha setting. I liked how there was both action and strategy, but I felt that the strategy aspect was done better in Death Note. Yeah I consider them the same show, though I thought R2 was slightly better.

Rating pending:
FMA: Brotherhood. Didn't like it at first. Thought it was too comedic in scenes that should have been taken seriously. Now that it's splitting off from the other series, it's becoming one of my favorites.
Trigun. Never saw the whole series start to finish. I liked the episodes i've seen though.
Evangelion. Same as above.

 

[Caleb Wolfbrand]

I just watched all of Hunter X Hunter and I must say it definitely belongs on my top 5.

STRONGLY recommend to anyone who liked YuYu Hakusho!

 

[Games'n'Music]

I'm not really into anime, but I really enjoyed Outlaw Star.

 

[Mota]

Main ones are:
Code Geass

Death Note

Elfen Lied

Enjoy the animes with less then 50 eps, ideally less then 30

 

[SirroMinus1]

1. Basilisk
1. Elfen lied
1. GANTZ (the MANGA)
2. naruto
3. One peice
4. ruroni kenshin
5. DBZ (I THINK)

10.ergo proxy (this will be like 1 or 2 on the list once im done watching this)
11. Bleach
12. code geasse ( this'll be in a better spot once i watch alittle more of it)
13. Air gear FTW
14. GHOST IN THE SHELL s.a.c. & Second gig

this list must be fixed
