adamtall

ok time for my favs

either trigun or FMA are my all time favorites

Cowboy beebop is up there along with the first 2 seasons of Inuasua (sp) (i think its the first two seasons i stopped really watching after he kills all the bandits that were trying to run away when he turns full demon)

I really liked death note until L dies then it got stupid

S-Cryed was pretty good

oh and one that im not sure if i really like or not (gonna have to watch the ova's and rewatch the series to fully understand it lol) was Hellsing

melneh

oh man!! I am so glad I found this group!!

ok so my list of favourite animes of all time are as follow (and I might add in no real particular order!)

School Rumble
Higurashi - When they Cry
Fruits Baskets
Cowboy Bebop
VanDread
Best Student Council
Highschool of the Dead (which i totally wanted to dislike but have watched it and actually became really fond of it!)
Shuffle! (up until the last 5 episodes - grrrr)
Ouran High Host Club
Hetalia
Baccano!
Queens Blade
Rune Masters


Ok so I admit it, I love the happy go lucky animes meant for teenage girls... they are so funny though

School Rumble and Higurashi are my all time faves though - on totally different ends of the spectrum - SR for everyone and Higurashi not for the faint of heart)

Full Metal Alchemist....and Brotherhood is better I think

CannibalisticVegetarian

-Slayers: I love the series (preferably in dubbed format, though the acting in the first few seasons was horrrrrrrid). I think it's one of my top favorites because it contains magic and just the whole mystical theme, it has a colorful cast of characters, and is just funny as heck.

-Mitsudomoe: I love this series and talk about it a lot because it was pretty out of the ordinary (The characters from the series are the three girls in my weight loss ticker).. I love the Marui triplets!

Panty and Stocking w/ Garterbelt: It's some of everything I like about this. Mostly characters and art style.

Hen Zemi: I can't even explain it.. it's gross but still a fun watch for me regardless!

I recently started watching Natsuyuki Rendevouz, which I am completely hooked on! I think it's an interesting and different series because the main characters are 22 and 30 years old, so it's not your everyday high school girl shojo fluff (which I still love, by the way)!

I loved Shugo Chara, Chihayafuru, Chu-Bra, Myself;Yourself, Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi, Junjou Romantica, Usagi Drop (the anime was so adorable but I read the ending of the manga and wished that it didn't exist. :P), Polar Bear Cafe is amazing, Time of Eve, Fumoffu, lots of Studio Ghibli movies, etc.

I usually prefer manga over anime, but I still love some anime as well.

I need to catch up on Natsuyuki Rendezvous, the anime is excellent! Need more josei genre =< . . . ! That guy has a will of steel @.@, after the earthquake scene, I'd be scared XD . . .

Polar Cafe is so cute x3, and Time of Eve was great, especially that one scene with the thrown away robot XD . . .

I also pretend the manga ending didn't happen either, that's just creepy ;x.

I LOVE Claymore!! Did you do the anime or manga? I freaking HATED the end of the anime SUCH bollocks!!

ReinasWrath

HmMmmm my turn eh? okay =^_^=
Samurai Champloo- awesome characters/art. nice simple linear plot but gets nice and tangled down the road and AWESOME FIGHT SCENES (hard to find in anime!!)

CLAYMORE- very good and unique art. great story and great development of the world they live in and their species (for lack of a better word) of the yoma/claymores. GREAT FIGHT SCENES. and even though the girls all look very uniform and alike they are all very different in personality ^^

SOUL EATER- awesome unique world and story!! I LOVE the art on this one cuz it is like a twisted fun macabre supernatural bubbly style xD ( if that makes sense??) a few of the characters were a little too boisterous for me but god somehow they ended up my fav ones lol. this one has great fight scenes too lol xD

TOWER OF DRUAGA- actually based off an old *kitten* game has a really good story and each character has their own agenda going on. Love the world they made up for this and as always great fight scenes xD

WITCHBLADE- ahh my namesake! This one isn't for everyone. . It was continued though american comics and a manga. I love the witchblade itself and this whole lore they have built behind it. If i am not mistaken this is the last story in all the series (comic- manga- anime) it has a crappy cop out ending IMO but one could argue it was pretty fitting. The actual story isn't all that strong but what keeps you more hooked is the different characters and the different kind of clone blades you will meet. The fight scenes are really good but I wish there were more

hahah all my shows have the same things- good characters and good fight scenes lol could have saved a lot of typing time :noway:

oOMusicBabii

Oh My Goddess! - Drama, romance, comedy and action all rolled together with great story-lines and well-developed characters. Belldandy has to be my favorite character in the series...her naivety is priceless at times and she always has the best intentions (plus unsealed Belldandy kicks total @$$!)

Spice & Wolf - Combines romance, economics and a dash of action to produce one of the most unique and incredible animes I have ever watched. Holo/Horo is, in my opinion, a mischievous and complex character. I think this is tied with OMG! for favorite anime.

FMA & Brotherhood - Haven't finished Brotherhood yet but it is already tied with the original for the awesome factor. Both are full of action and there are flashes of other things (like comedy, drama and whatnot). Flashbacks add to character depth. Roy Mustang (great guy who really wants to make a difference), Alex Louis Armstrong (big, strong and absolutely funny as heck) and Riza Hawkeye (total badass of a women) have to be my top 3 characters from the series. Runners-up include Winry Rockbell, Maes Hughes and Alphonse Elric. As I'm sure you can tell, currently watch Brotherhood.

Chobits and Claymore are in my top series but through the mangas not the animes (haven't watched Chobits and only seen part of Claymore) so can't talk much about them.

And I'm sure there are others but these ones are def in my top 5 and own my soul at the moment.

I've seen lots of anime but these are my top four favorites -

The Vision of Escaflowne
I've loved this show since I was 12, that's eleven years..and it's STILL my absolute favorite. There's a lot of memories with this anime and it has a great cast of characters, character development, very interesting story and stunning music. Its the only series I ever listened to nothing BUT the soundtracks. I was very obsessed, still am!

Revolutionary Girl Utena
This was the first anime I got into on my own that I really, really loved other than Tenchi at the time. I really adore this anime, Utena and Anthy are very well done characters (so is everyone else but them especially). I love the feminism aspect and the play on fairytales and princes and princesses. Its an anime about women rising above a patriarchy world.

Hana Yori Dango
This anime is special because my mother and I watch it together. Its cute, comical and has a great cast of characters. Tsukushi is very inspiring, she was a lot like Utena in some ways..she didn't take **** from anyone.

Nana
I only got into Nana a year or two ago so its a noob on my list of favorites :P lol But Nana has so many realistic characters, they are so real to me. Its hard to anyone, except for maybe Takumi. Both Nanas are very strong in their own ways and I also like how this anime/manga has the characters be non-virgins, I really wanna read more manga that is like this its easier for me to relate.


My other favorites include My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke and The Little Mermaid anime.

Fullmetal Alchemist BROTHERHOOD: This had the most amazing plot ever.
Code Geass: This has the most amazing plot ever as well
Soul Eater: PATHETIC ending and the main girl character was annoying but I liked the concept and the drawing style was different
Black Butler: not done with it yet but the beginning is good.
Darker Than Black: Still not done but it's REALLY good
D-Gray Man: This had a lot of filler episodes and a bad ending but I loved the plot and some of the character development
Ouran Highschool Host Club: Stupid idea, HIALRIOUS to watch
Vampire Knight: Horrible ending, just like Twilight...but still kinda intrigueing.
Panty and Stocking w/ Garterbelt: HILARIOUS! Dumb plot.
Black Cat: Nyeh. Train was hot XD
That's all I can think of for now.

Oh, some of my faves are on that list (School Days, Higurashi, A Channel, and Shiki). Yes, I love anime and began watching classics like Ninja Scroll, Battle Angel Alita and Macross. I have way too many favorites to name, though I'll list a few others: Canaan, Le Chevalier d'Eon, Ergo Proxy, Angel Beats, and Ben-to. This current season I am loving Binbougami Ga - it's freaking hilarious.

Why must you make me pic?! ;__;

If I had to pick one it'd have to be Gundam Wing. It's classic, I LOVED it as a kid and still love it today. It is to me what DBZ is to most anime fans, except I skipped that bus!

ive watched some anime already , but the one i will consider my favorite is Fullmetal Alchemist, because of the story it has. it catches my attention alot , it kind of gives a connection to my life a little. I also like Ed's Short - rants
