What's your favorite anime?

[Lonely Swordsman]

There is no genre I detest more than so called "slice of life comedies", but if I tell you Cromartie High School wasn't the funniest damn thing I watched in years I'd be lying.

 

[EHKOS]

Mmmm I like One Piece for creativity, Hellsing Ultimate OVA for all around badassery, Dokoru-chan for chill, and Big O for mystery. But I like lots of animoo...I know! Here you can read all about my favorites!

I don't watch too much, but my favourite would either be Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Azumanga Daioh or Angel Beats. I can't pick between 'em.

 

[Fappy]

Well the title says it all, what's you favorite anime and why?

Mine is Garzey's Wing, simply because it's BAD! XD

I've seen the Sage/Spoony review on the Nostalgia Critic's site, but haven't gotten around to actually witnessing the raw terribleness it is supposed to portray.

This is a really hard question for me to answer as I usually either really really like an anime or I despise it (nearly 95% of them actually). I think overall Cowboy Bebop gets my vote, but there are plenty of other great ones just under it. BTW for anyone who's also a Bebop fanboy I'd suggest a similar anime I discovered recently called Black Lagoon, that shit is awesome.

Strawberry Panic with Lucky Star and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya as close seconds.
Although it really is hard for me to say, as I really thoroughly enjoyed virtually every anime I've seen.

 

[Marowit]

Without a doubt Cowboy Bebop.

Great Story, deep characters, fun, fantastic music, and a great setting. It kills me that it's only one season long, but it ends perfectly.

I believe the one that i had the best general mood in was Spice and Wolf season 1.

The one that left me with the best feeling after finishing was Clannad/Afterstory.

The one that had most embarrased moments (Good still) was probably Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai.

The only one my friends watched that i actually liked was Full Metal Alchemist (Most S2)

Greatest feeling of anger afterwards was Code Geass.

Greatest feeling of emptyness afterwards goes to Lucky Star (What to do when you are finished..)

 

[Burn2Feel]

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni takes top place right now, though I recently watched Read Or Die which is two cups of awesome

 

[Chromatic Aberration]

Difficult question with so many awesome animes being out there...

But the anime that still inspires the most awe in me must be Legend Of The Galactic Heroes .
That Anime is just so epic and so full of content that you just have to admire all the effort that must have gone into creating it....

The recent runners up:
- Code Geass
- Spice & Wolf Season 1
- Fullmetal Alchemist (both Brotherhood and the original series)
- Samurai X - Trust & Betrayal
- Paranoia Agent
- Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni & Kai
- Cowboy Bebop

 

[Nannernade]

Well I'd have to say Kashimashi and Gurren Lagann, both had great stories and drew me in to the point I never wanted them to end.

 

[itsnotyouitsme]

Fate Stay Night. Not so much because of the anime but rather the visual novel behind it. If you read the novel and then watch the anime, you can see everything fall into place, some parts are cut back and/or altered for the sake of cramming three stories into one, but otherwise is pulled off nicely.
Anyways, the fights are nice and the story is good although if it weren't for the visual novel backing it up I might have gone for a different anime.

 

[Mckeown]

personally? i know i'm going to get some dirty looks for saying this but: soul eater. yes, i know it has a LOT of flaws, but it's the only anime EVER where i have gone back for a rewatch immediately after i finish it and not stop until that first rewatch was complete. and for a 51 episode anime, that's saying a lot. and it's still really enjoyable now

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

Dragon. Ball. Freaking. Z.

To anybody who has a problem with this, I present with you with...


Your argument is invalid.

 

[ChocoFace]

Code Geass. I'm not really an anime kinda guy, but i did enjoy that one. Maybe you guys could recommend something similar? (I'm not thinking of the big robots smashing stuff. More story elements if you know what i mean )

Death Note springs to mind. All in all this type of anime is pretty rare. However, if you don't mind reading manga, Bloody Monday is kind of similar in the duel of geniuses department. Hope that helped.

OT: I've more than one favourite, as i can't honestly rank them in my list. I can, however, say that i really enjoyed Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood, Beck, Cowboy Bebop, Gurren Lagann, Code Geass and Death Note.

 

[Jonluw]

Clannad. The only tale that has ever made me shed a tear.

Edit: Incidentally, I hate reading these kinds of threads. So much anime, so little time.

Out of curiosity do I watch the 12 episode series or the OVA first? Can't find an answer anywhere.

In case noone has told you yet (I don't have time for reading the entire thread): It doesn't matter. The OVAs are very much separate from the tv-series. The OVAs are, juicier... though. You know, no tv-censorship there.

I, personally, watched the OVAs first, but watching the tv-series might be just as good.

 

[shadowelancer]

Vampire Knight

Followed by Death Note

Why? because they are both awesome

 

[Daggedawg]

One Piece and Trigun. One Piece for being funny and adventurous, Trigun for being badass and moving.

 

[AwesomeExpress]

I'd have to go with Cowboy Bebop, but Trigun would come close too.
