Though I made it very clear in the other thread that I don't like anime, at the time I did my favorite was Gundam Wing.
What is your favorite anime series?

What... the... hell?! Man, Nunally's gonna be pissed! But seriously, that's just trying to shock a dead horse back to life... one that's already died with a shitload more dignity than is otherwise normal for an anime series.Alistair Leyden said:
... really have to get round to watching that... 11 eps, isn't it?UncleUlty said:
I will forever be confused as to why people think that series is so damned good... ah well...Madara XIII said:
A part of me really want to mention that, but the graphix make me wince each time I start watching it... but then I watch the character interaction, damned good set pieces and a brilliant plot, and ignore that aforementioned aspect.INeedAName said:

For me, the show is precisely what shonen anime should be. It has lots of action without becoming repetitive, a compelling story that takes itself every bit as seriously as it should and no more, and even at 112 episodes it never overstays its welcome. Gloriously well-made show. It isn't perfect, of course, but it's not too far away.
Hmm....I don't think I can decide on just one.
I think its list time!

Dragon Ball and Dragonball Z...isn't that the correct answer for the whole thread's question? I'm pretty sure it is.
I also love Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Yu Yu Hakusho is probably third

If it's any consolation I wasn't influenced by anyone to watch that anime. I was just flipping through the channels and saw it on Sci-Fy. I got interested immediately and watched the series on a weekly basis.SckizoBoy said:
I mean if you watched it and still didn't get the hype then I don't really mind. We all have our preferences, but the ending sold me. There was so much happening at once where it wasn't too hard to follow and every character was well established to the point at which their deaths had some weight to them.
That was my view on it, but I also did Admire Rurouni Kenshi as one of the greatest as well. The ending was pure and potent and plus I hear they're doing a new one
I'm going with Hellsing (either version) or Trigun, even though the anime version had a pretty shitty resolution.
DBZ has to be one of the worst animes ever made. Great story and characters, but it was so, so, so God damn drawn out.xXAsherahXx said:
I'm glad Cartoon Network ran it with five episodes a week; I don't know how Japan didn't break into civil war on one episode a week.
I am torn between One Piece, Cowboy Bebop or Gurren Lagann. Honourable mentions goes to Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2nd Gig, FLCL and Tenchi Muyo.
I watched it without paying much attention to the hype as well, and I was rather disappointed by it, but not for the reasons one might expect. I, too, was quite taken with the ending, though I felt the ever expanding mechas got entirely out of hand (I know for some, that was pure 'win'). No, my criticisms are more to do with the iconography of the series, namely the 'spiral' concept, which I felt the producers could've expanded upon and exploited so much more. Throughout the series, it was a cross between of occasional references or in your face 'here's a spiral, bask in its spiraliness' that I felt it was dealt with rather hamfistedly. Even with the visual aspect of conveying it, they missed an opportunity, since the 'drill' thing seemed rather goofy (granted, it may well have been played for that reason), if unique.Madara XIII said:
Oh, and not enough of the bad guys...(!) You'll notice their dialogue was very sombre and that made the general mood of the series lurch in quite a nauseous way, though in fairness, I'm wondering how that could've been improved upon. *shrug*
One of my new favorites would be eden of the east but I haven't see the movie for it. Aswell as yu yu haakusho, fullmetal alchemist both series and black cat.
Some of my old favorites from way back when first got into anime DBZ cowboy bebop and the one I look back at most fondly of outlaw star.

Surprisingly, I love Witchblade. I think it's because it's my favorite comic, but just on it's own it's my favorite.
Also Highschool of The Dead, The Persona anime, & Angel Beats. Ao No Exorcist is a close second.
