favorite anime

[BartSimpson]

My favorites are:

Cowboy Bebop (very good one)

Maison Ikkoku (best Romance/Comedy Anime I've watched so far...and I watched quite a few; lovely characters)

Last Exil (Airships, Airplanes with some kind of futuristic-retro style, I really enjoyed that one)

Zeta Gundam (in my opinon the best Gundam series, SEED comes right after it)

Planetes (no fighting, no transformation...just a "realistic" story about garbage collectors in space and their dreams)

The Twelve Kingdoms and Full Metal Alchimist (both great Fantasy/Adventure Anime)


Rurouni Kenshin and Berserk would have been fantastic if they followed the manga...especially the last Kenshin saga was so great (when I was watching the anime I was hoping that the last Saga would start...but only fillers and then the end:constipation: I was really disappointed)

But thats a general Anime problem...mostly the manga is much better then the anime, like Love Hina or GTO to give a few more examples.

Movieses:
Voices of a Distant Star

Honorable Mention to Lodoss and Nuku Nuku, two great ideas that have yet to be given (completely) worthy executions. Also to Grave of the Fireflies, until such time as I develop the guts to actually watch it.

-Mai-Hime (pure fan service)
-2x2=Shinobu-den (fast paced laugh riot)
-Hanaukyo Maid (The original show. The ultimate harem show.)

^ whoa that's alot of "favorites"

personally my all time favorite anime still stands as Ergo Proxy, it's dark theme with it's subtle message on humanity was quite intriguing.

 

[Astb]

I guess my top three (since I can't just name one...) would be: Big O, Cowboy Bebop and Oh My Goddess.

My current favorite is: Code Geass.

2nd: Love Hina. Very cute story which centers around trying to determine if the protagonist is the luckiest or most cursed guy alive.
3rd: Cowboy Bebop? Haven't watched many anime in recent years though, this thread should come in handy.
