Best Anime EVER

[JamesJoltWolf]

im in love with code geass atm best anime ive watched in a long time ^^

Meh, currently im into One Piece, and I don't watch anything else Anime so I'd have to say One Piece.

I'm no hardcore fan nor knowledgeable in that area so my opinion doesn't really count for much.

Trust me, if you dig, it gets SOOOOO much better

Sorry, my preview post was a little confusing; I'm no hardcore Anime fan, but One Piece is amazing.

If I didn't think it was brilliant, would I be up to episode 349?

FLCL or Beck Mongolian Chop Squad. I'm a fan of One Piece, but I prefer the manga over the anime. Has a more natural pace to it.

Sigh... I don't like being an Anime snob, but I just am. If any of your 'favourite' or 'best' Anime include any of the following you officially have the mental capacity of a twelve year old: One Piece, Naruto, Dragonball Z, Bleach, Yu-Gi-O! If your favourite is Ikki Tousen or Goddanner or the like, please stop drooling, go have a cold shower (you dirty dirty person!) and go watch something decent, basically anything involving Mamoru Oshii, Shinichiro Watanabe or Mahiro Maeda, wiki them and pick a title, any title, please! You'll do us all a favour in helping develop better taste amongst Anime fans. But like I say, I'm a snob, lol.

The best Anime in my opinion is Stand Alone Complex. My personal favourites are Ergo Proxy, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop, in that order.

There's some juvenile aspects to the Naruto anime, but that hardly makes it for those with the "mental capacity of a twelve year old." Most of the juvenile aspects are in the filler. It's all completely original stuff independent of cannon, and needs to be released once a week without messing with the actual plot. It needs to be 20 minutes long, still have have the general theme of the actual series, and be released once a week. I'd like to see you do better. Also, does the fact that the main character starts out as a twelve year old mean anything to you?

Would you say that Code Geass, Death Note, or Full Metal Alchemist have more depth? Or list any other you wish to defend, I may have seen it.

Always loved the grappler baki series, but hajime no ippo is by far the best anime.

Best anime ever is an impossible choice to make. I have favorites for each genre, but then you have to consider if real robot and super robot are two different genres and so forth.

The three anime series that come to me first when I think of "Epic awesome win" now are Eureka 7, Gurren Langann, and Bakemonogatari.

I did warn you I was a snob. "Mental capacity of a twelve year old" might be harsh, but I am really sick of the prevalence and dominant popularity of these mass-produced, serialized and overall uninteresting anime, and yes I have watched each one I've claimed to be such.

Anime I would defend? Death Note was clever but unfortunately I found Yagami Light really annoying as a character. Code Geass I liked for its revolutionary politics, though I haven't watched Season 2 yet. Full Metal Alchemist had both heart and darkness, elements which I really appreciated, and that goes double for Brotherhood, I might not watch the first series again due to the epicness of Brotherhood.

Other Anime I would defend and recommend are: Lain, Texhnolyze, Mushi-shi, Withch Hunter Robin, Ergo Proxy, Gankutsuou, Last Exile, anything of Ghost in the Shell, Samurai Champloo, Wolf's Rain, Speed Grapher, Beck, Fooly Cooly, Infinite Ryvius, Crest of the Stars, Haibane Renmei, Patlabor 1 & 2, Sky Crawlers, Jin-Roh, Eureka 7, His and Her Circumstances, Crest of the Stars and Banner of the Stars.

All of these are top notch anime in my opinion (though admittedly in no particular order). Take your pick

Oh, and no, the fact that Naruto starts off at age 12 means nothing to me. There are plenty of narratives both animated and otherwise that are directed at audiences that include 12 year olds that don't suck! (ie: anything by Miyazaki!)

Code Geass.
Sunrise decided to do a non-gundam series and pulled it off rather perfectly, I must say. Epic plot and characters, with a train-wreck storyline. It ended off rather disappointingly though.

tl;dr: Student attempts to takes over world.

"Best anime ever" is an opinion.

There will never be a general consensus that everybody agrees on.

MINE however, will always be Dragonball Z.

I think it went a bit overboard after Namek so if it would en there I could agree with you. But as you said it'a a matter of opinion, so I just told you mine ^^.

Best Anime would have to be... I don't know, I read manga -.-, I'll throw out DeathNote or FullMetalPanic here!!!

 

[IamQ]

Probably Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for me.

[Sacman]

Serial Experiments Lain it is THE greatest anything evar!!!

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

I guess I'd have to say for me, best anime is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya...

This would be the series as a whole though, including season 2 and Disappearance...

 

[Wintermoot]

Cowboy Bebop or gundam 08th MS team or Gundam 0080

 

[Eternalsun]

i like naruto.

 

[Jewrean]

Code Geass. I hate to say this, but I pretty much just won.
Also, ignore all those people screaming "WRONG SECTION!!!". It really isn't the end of the world.

This.

I did a similar thread not long ago if you want to give that a read too. Lots of good suggestions!:

I'm no hardcore fan nor knowledgeable in that area so my opinion doesn't really count for much.

your opinion will always count if your just starting out or are a massive fan, everyone's opinion counts for the same amount.

Plus One piece is my fav and has bin for 2 years.

Remember its not just your opinion, its your mother fucking opinion.

I'm talking about my entire opinion in the Anime genre, as well as One Piece I've watched Code Geass so my opinion would be worth more salt, but still bugger all.

Don't presume just because you scratch the surface or at all you opinion is the same as a veteran of that topic.
