Favorite Anime?

[CORY]

i've gone through ep5 or so and it hasn't made me say "wow" yet... it's rather mediocre overall. i hate the character design, some of the dialogue is a bit trite, the moral/theme is sometimes rather forced, the "fighting" is meh.... not horrible, overall, but really not something i'd call good, either... i only watched it as far as i did out of sheer stubborness =./

 

[FaTmAn2k20]

I like Naruto. a lot. I'm the first to admit I'm not a big anime fan, but I do really like Naruto. Anyone that hasn't seen it should check it out, although I don't really know whether anime purists would like it, because I don't know what to look for.

 

[iceman14]

anime is cool, and yes I am hi today

 

[Shade520]

I have to second Dark Bulb's recommendation for Bleach. I was very impressed after watching the first episode, definatly an Anime that others should see...

 

[Dark Bulb 4.1]

If you toy around with that site... well then try My HiME, and School Rumble also. Those seem to be really hot... and My HiME is really really good :-p. School Rumble just happens to be funny... but its not great, but worthwhile I guess.

 

[tomchan]

without a doubt evangelion. close second is the beautiful gunslinger girl. mad props to anyone else who mentioned this (i haven't read alllll of the replies). as for favourite new anime, i'd say either fafner which is doing a better job ripping evangelion than rahxephon did or magical girl lyrical nanoha because she is teh hot.

 

[DireVulcan]

GoldenBoy: Completely examplifies the term "short and sweet".
If you have a broad sense of humor, check this one out.

Hellsing? Ew...horrible.

Sword Of The Berserk: Ohh man this anime is not one to miss. Good story, with some gorific action to back it up, also not one to miss. It's like if Hellsing is DBZ's story, Berserk is Naruto's story.

Evangelion: No need to explain =b

FLCL: Phucking hilarious, actually great action, and slick animation.
They need to make more episodes...they NEED to.

Oh yeah...and.....Hellsing...ew.

 

[Shade520]

I enjoyed Goldenboy alot, definatly glad I purchased it.
Have many of you heard of Hellsing, I haven't seen past episode 3 but its pretty cool, The main character gives the show a good feel espicially his mundane attitude towards everything...it definatly was a good find.

 

[tomchan]

hellsing is quite popular. i got annoyed with it though, it didn't go anywhere and incognito was pathetic. walter pwns though, that was the one redeeming factor for me.

boogiepop phantom is another fave of mine. mmm spiders *chomp*

 

[Dark Bulb 4.1]

Ugh, I've enjoyed Mai HiME so much that I forgot it's almost over. Same thing as Bleach. I'm halfway done with Chobits also. It's alright. I DL hellsing but can't watch it cause my media player is truly ****ed up. Anyone know how to get rid of media player without formatting or reinstalling it? I want to fresh out my computer of media player so that I can install it fresh. It doesn't even play mp3's -_-

 

[Kozzymoto]

Im undicided between Love Hina, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Naruto there all pretty funny so im currently undecided.

 

[Samurai Drifter]

My favorites are...

-Evangelion: Dark, disturbing, and (early on in the series) hilarious, it's the ultimate meeting of science and religion.

-Cowboy Bebop: I don't think there has ever been an anime that equals Bebop. It's got comedy, romance,, action, and tragedy...and by the end you've really come to love the characters. I even have a quote from it in my signature (the song at the very end of the last episode).

-Trigun: C'mon...who doesn't like Trigun?

-Rurouni Kenshin: I'm really into medieval Japan and the era of the samurai, so maybe that's why I like it so much.

Others high on my list include Boogiepop Phantom and Wolf's Rain.

 

[D-Man]

My favorite must be between DNAngel and Hellsing
IF Smash was an anime it would rule over all anime(its manga would rock too)

Its just called Berserk. also, please explain your analogy, because I it really doesn't make any sense

 

[Shy Guy]

One Piece (Original, not the dubbed) is my favorite. Excellent storytelling, lovable characters, and awesomely original fights that don't rely on powerups. I used to like Naruto best, but now its second to One Piece.

 

[Cursed Yoma]

Meh, NGE...

2nd be Outlaw Star
then Samurai X / Rurouni Kenshin
um... yeah.. that be the top 3

 

[Dark Bulb 4.1]

I can't tell, but has Mai HiME ended? It reached episode 13 but it doesn't feel complete nor did it end as if it were complete. Bleach also seems to be going further than 13 episodes, which isn't bad at all.

 

[Psilocybin]

Visions of Escaflowne
Wolf's Rain
Reign: The Conqueror (even though many people hate it. Don't really care.)

 

[pokemonmaster01]

A friend of mine let me borrow a couple burned DVDs of anime. He hadn't even watched them and didn't know what they were. The person who labeled them wrote it with the japanese names. One turned out to be volume one of Oh My Goddess! and the other is a movie called Jin-Roh. (At least I think it's a movie. I haven't finished it.)

Jin-Roh has some cool action scenes. Explosions, shoot-outs, etc.. But otherwise it's really, really boring. I mean really.

Oh My Goddess! is kind of girly but it's way more interesting than the other one. The music is lame but the art is better. It's not the best but not bad. And, like 99% of all anime , it's extremely close to becoming hentai. Not.. that.. I'm.. into.. that.. sort.. of.. thing..

He was supposed to give me Cowboy Bebop today but there was no school, so I'll have to wait.

 

[DemonHost]

Evangelion all the way!!!!!

I havent seen that many animes, but so far, Evangelion is by far the best ever!

 

[Dark Bulb 4.1]

Correct me if I'm wrong... but that line in your sig demonhost, is that Chobits?

 

[ender]

Im betting on Evangelion. Sounds like shinji to me,

For a person who doesn't buy imports, I watch a lot of anime... thanks Cartoon Network. Neh.

Oh, on a side topic, my favourite anime voice actor would be Eric Stuart. A classic, that guy.

 

[Dark Bulb 4.1]

Those can't possibly animes now can they

ender, I said chobits because I thought it was one of the lines which chii reads in the stupid book series she kept buying. But when you said shinji, it now reminds me of a certain episode... I really dont remember which one though.

If you mean the ones I listed, then according to Absolute Anime (the site) they are all anime. Most if not all of them are listed there. Still, doesn't hurt to make sure. If you didn't say that to me, disregard this.

if you have an internet i would download some other anime right now.
BAD.
or, if you really like anime, i'll mail you some.

cuz that list made me sad...

 

[Dodongo]

I bet you haven't watched all of some of those have you? By the way, some of those aren't anime....

if that's directed at me, there's reasons i have not seen all of some of those.

some of those are very bad.

pokémon is still tite tho.

 

[Dark Bulb 4.1]

Dude, Duel Masters is on fox, I mean wtf. That list not only made me sad, but it made me happy I have the internet and a real good anime supplier.

And if beyblades is a show about spinning tops... then holy cow wtf

You top it though with possibly one of the greatest animes ever created in a list of childish doo doo. Pokemon and Yugioh still tite tho

 

[dan smith]

I agree with my friend Antx...

Yeah....

The GOOD Anime from that list:
Trigun
DBZ
Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy
Cyborg 009
Neon Genesis Evangelion

Some of that isn't even that good...I only included Ultimate Muscle cause I think it's funny...and DBZ is only decent.

HORRIBLE CHOICES:
Pokemon (all series)
Megaman NT Warriors
Beyblades (all series)
Zoids (all series)
Cardcaptor Sakura
Duel Masters
Yu-Gi-Oh
Digimon (all seasons)

Zoids isn't that gawful....plus Yu-Gi-Oh would be good if it made sense.

Cardcaptor Sakura is just slow and lame...but almost decent.

Here is awesome anime everybody should love:

BERSERK
Hajime No Ippo
Full Metal Alchemist
Cowboy Bebop
Thundercats
Boogiepop Phantom

How'd ya like dem apples??

THUNDERCATS HOOOOO!!!!!

 

[ender]

Thundercats is anime?

Cyborg 009 is boring.

 

[Dark Bulb 4.1]

Full Metal Alchemist bored me. Sue me.

Liek dbz wtfF?

 

[DemonHost]

Opps, I posted this tiwce sorry

Yeah it's from one of shinji weird pycoligal thingys in his mind.. I think that quote is where Rei is talking to him about who he is and weird stuff like that.

 

[Dark Bulb 4.1]

I finished watching full metal alchemist after 3 days of being awake for a while. It had many tear jerking moments, and in the end, I was even more shocked it took me so long to watch it. This is now on my favorite list. I was dissapointed with the end though, it wasn't sad and it wasn't happy. What is it? Hope the movie makes sense.

I started watching RahXephon also, and its animation feels a lot like Evangelion but so far it feels extremely weird. I hope I end up liking it because I didn't go off getting 26 episodes for nothing >.<

 

[Inkslinger]

Full Metal Alchemist was pretty good.

 

[Prince Redon]

I love almost all anime, but some of my favorites are Saiyuki, Love Hina, Hellsing, Devil Lady, and Ninja Scrolls. That is only episodes...There are way to many movies that I love to name...But Voices of a Distant Star must get recognition, just because it is my all time favorite movie.

 

[ANTX]

i don't understand how you guys like ALL of anime. who could like ALL of one genre?

that's like saying, "i've liked every movie i've ever seen!" or "i've never read a bad book" or "every single cartoon is flawless."

 

[Jesi]

I kind agree w/ Antx, having no preference is like having no taste... However, I would agree with a statement that states that you "appreciate" all of Anime, or any genre, I think we all have our preferences tho..
