Anime/Animation Talk

Anime is a big interest to me. I've watched quite a lot and always ask myself the question, "Which one is my all time favorite?" Which is tough because something new can come out, amaze me, but then remind me of another older anime that was similar and rewatch that and remember the first time I saw it. It's a tough question for me to answer but eventually I start putting down my favorites in different categories; Sci-fi, Romance, Sport/Athletic, Slice-of-life, Mystery, etc.

If I had to pick 5 though, regardless of genre or age of the show. It would have to be:

  • Gundam Wing
  • Outlaw Star
  • Sword Art Online
  • Card Captor Sakura
  • SHUFFLE!

So I want to ask. What is your favorite anime or what is the first anime that comes to mind for you, and what about it makes it your favorite or memorable? It can even be a show that you just hate. Why do you hate the show? I hated the anime School Days. I didn't even feel bad for the guy in the end of the show. Also kind of forced myself to watch it out of the sake of finding out why others hated the show. I found my answer.

This season I've really been enjoying Kill la Kill and Chuunibyou, but my all time favorites would probably be Cowboy Bebop and Full Metal Alchemist. The new Eva movies are also fantastic. Still hoping for the announcement of a second season for Attack on Titan...

My first ever anime I watched entirely was Gundam Seed. Watched a few of the "big animes" afterwards and eventually fell into some shorter animes, those with like 20-30 episodes.

If I had to make a top 5, would probably go around the lines of, in no particular order

  • Death Note
  • Gundam 00
  • Code Geass
  • Gundam Seed/Destiny
  • SoA

Gundam Wings would probably fall somewhere close after.

Also, Gunpla Modeling.... aw yissss

My favorite show has got to be Steins;Gate. It was just so damn good.

I just recently got into anime, so I have a massive backlog of shows to watch (including Full Metal Alchemist, Code Geass, some Gundam show, and Sword Art Online.) My favorite series I've watched so far are Angel Beats, Toradora, Sakurasou, Mondaiji, Kokoro Connect, and Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta. This season I'm watching Kill la Kill (which I'm behind on), Log Horizon, and Chuunibyou. Log Horizon is great, and this season of Chuuni is better than the first. Also, the worst anime I have ever watched is Oreimo. It was so promising early on... but the second half of the second season ruins it all.

Top 5 (in no particular order): Hunter x Hunter, Diamond no Ace, Kuroko no Basket 2, Magi 2: The Kingdom of Magic, Hajime no Ippo: Rising.

Personally, I'd rate Sword Art Online 7/10 (second part of where the game transitioned from SAO to Alfheim was absolutely horrible imo). I really like the things going on with Kirito; I like watching anime with characters similar to him. Kind of a cool, silent guy style.

My favorite anime are probably Gundam X, Sailor Moon, Xabungle, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and Shin Mazinger.

I like robots.

  • Attack on Titans
  • Fairy Tail
  • Naruto

As you can tell I'm an action fan lol.

Right now though, I found a really nice Romance manga, not sure if there's an anime of it, but that would be one of my favorites as well. Watashi ni xx Shinasai

  1. Orignal tenchi OVAs (I'll include war on geminar with this as well)
  2. The big 0
  3. Coyote Ragtime Show
  4. FLCL

There are others I'll watch repeatedly, but those are my favorites.

Code Geass when it comes to beautifully done. Only Anime I've ever yelled at the screen because I was so invested (you know where :P).

But I have to admit my actual favorite is Fairy Tail. Not the best by any means, but it's the one I look forward to the most.

Sword Art Online and Attack on Titan
