Best Anime EVER

[Guitarmasterx7]

I have lots of friends who like anime and constantly recommend them to me claiming that "this one is different, I think you would really like it." So far the only one I've liked is Samurai Champloo. It's short, every episode has a coherent beginning, middle, and end, fight scenes are fast paced and don't have any of that "he's dead! now he's alive! He's too strong and I can't even hurt him! Now for some reason I'm able to do some super attack that can kill him! Let's talk about every attack I do for 15 minutes apiece so that a short fight can span 4 episodes!" stuff. The voice acting is good, which is EXTREMELY rare for anime, Mugen is a badass character, and it doesn't fall victim any majorly deal breaking anime cliches. So NOW I would say Samurai Champloo. Dragonball Z used to be my favorite show as a kid though.

Darker than black and Soul eater are pretty cool. Even I who I am a hardcore anime hater cant stop watching them

But Soul Eater's an incredibly generic show. Perhaps you don't hate it as much as you think you do.

I havent watched a lot of episodes but to my mind it is like naruto only a bit better and funnier.You cant compare it to Darker than black though..

Champloo's, Bebop, Elfen Lied, Pokemon... hard to choose,

Maybe Elfen Lied, yeah, Lucy has to win.

It's a generic shonen action series.

Try this: http://www.hulu.com/baccano for some truly unique stuff.

Hulu doesn't stream outside of the US and watching 2 animes is already too much for me.

HELSING!!!!!!!!

There is none because they all get ruined by the yaoi drawers/writers. Seriously, can you look at Vegeta the same way after you find out some girl was more concerned with who's dick he'll suck then who he'll fight?

 

[Azraellod]

Well, my current top 5 are:

- Deathnote
- Higurashi no naku Koro ni
- Hellsing Ultimate OVA
- Code Geass
- Yu-Gi-Oh

It's mostly rather dark anime really. I have plenty of others I'd like to put there, but I felt like I should limit myself to 5.

ELFEN LIED A MASTERPIECE!

 

[Veldt Falsetto]

Neon Genesis and Deathnote for me I thinks

 

[Quad08]

I enjoyed Get Backers

 

[Trafs]

I'm no massive fan, but I enjoyed Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Gundam Wing, etc. Nothing has topped Death Note for me, though. I watched every episode in the space of about 5 days; I simply couldn't put the damn thing down.

I refuse to pick one! There is no best, they all have flaws.

Name Bebops ?

I was so bored I stopped watching after 3 episodes.

Your loss, not a flaw on its part that you didnt get it.

Pacing.

Explain?

It's not my fault I was bored I didn't watch this to just to get bored on purpose. This wasn't cause I couldn't understand it. The plot was fairly simple. A show which doesn't keep me interested has a clear flaw.

This is all about opinions and I really get fed up of fan boys demanding that their opinion rules over everyone else on a topic left up to opinion. Some people enjoy war documentaries while others find it boring no mater how much your grand-dad tries to prove you otherwise.

Girls are allowed to obey Rule #34 as well you know.

 

[GloatingSwine]

Howl's Moving Castle

Is nowhere near as good as the book.

 

[lvl9000_woot]

Darker than Black
G Gundam
Trinity Blood
Desert Punk

 

[adamwestslapdog]

my top 3 would be

Fullmetal Alchemist
Death Note
One Piece

 

[Bouncing Ferret FIlm]

YAY now i have more anime to check out

 

[Alkestes]

TTGL is amazing. Excel Saga is fantastic (especially the episode after the last episode), History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi is wonderful (though the manga is getting a little silly nowadays) and One Piece is brilliant.

But my favourite anime is tied between two. Air Gear and Hunter x Hunter. Both are shows I have watched from start to finish at least ten times each. I fell in love with Air Gear from the first episode. I love Icchi's personality, and his youngest 'sister' makes me laugh so much. <3

Hunter x Hunter though, had me gripped all the way through all of its seasons and OVAs. I adore Gon. He is quite possibly the most innocent character to ever appear in an anime. Killua I don't much care for, but the relationship between the two of them is incredibly heart warming.
