Series I like (in no particular order)

- Kimagure Orange Road
- Ah! My Goddess
- Irresponsible Captain Tylor
- Kanon
- You're Under Arrest

Hmm. Except for Kanon, all of these things are ~10ish years old. Either I'm getting old, or I'm somehow forgetting the newer stuff right now.

EvilMonkey · « **Reply #15 on:** May 09, 2004, 11:50:09 am »

I'd vote for both, you're getting old and forgetful.

Irnogs · « **Reply #19 on:** May 12, 2004, 03:24:40 pm »

Hey another Salem person! Yay!
Well anyways, back to the topic...
I really have too many favorites to list. I'm currently collecting Witch Hunter Robin, Kiddy Grade and Texhnolyze which have all been really good and I can't wait to get my hands on Wolf's Rain the fan subs got me hooked on that one. I'm also really fond of other series such as: Haibane Renmei, Boogiepop Phantom, Kenshin, Cowboy Bebop (only one I can get my bf to watch... what's up w/that?!), and the movies like Blood, Twilight of the Dark Master, Ghost in the Shell... I really could go all day... To be honest there's very few I've purchased I've NOT been happy with. All I heard mentioned are great too. Berserk's way cool, I was happy to get my hands on the manga to fill in the gaps though.

Sheltie · « **Reply #20 on:** May 13, 2004, 09:24:47 am »

Currently, I'd have to say.... Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors), Generator Gawl, and Digimon Frontier!!!!

Irnogs · « **Reply #21 on:** May 14, 2004, 03:26:33 pm »

whoa, I had forgotten to put down one of my all time favorites: Kite. Actually I love Umetsu's stuff in general, but Kite especially. I even owned 3 copies of it at one point. (The VHS copy bough when it was a new release and DVD was still pretty uncommon, the original release, and the director's cut, which I ended up selling because I didn't find it worth the additional 5 hentai scenes.. ugh) I can't wait to see some of Mezzo, I just love his characters.

EvilMonkey · « **Reply #22 on:** May 14, 2004, 08:56:35 pm »

I'm always addicted to watching the brand new series that are out in Japan. I eventually end up collecting them on DVD, but rarely do I end up watching it more than once again. Partially because I have little time, but it's nice to have stuff to show other people besides my massive collection of fansubs.

zenix · « **Reply #23 on:** May 15, 2004, 02:30:36 am »

i had to burn 19 disc worth of gundam seed fan sub this past week so i could wipe my comp

Mr_Joshua · « **Reply #24 on:** May 16, 2004, 01:26:51 am »

Every time someone lasks me to list my favorite anime the answers are different depending on my mood and what I remember at the time, however the is one that I've noticed always edns up at or near the top so I guess that would qualify as my very favorite.

Shojo Kakumei Utena

Catnip · « **Reply #25 on:** May 16, 2004, 06:00:29 pm »

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (The Eternity You Wished For) should by all rights be at the top, but it was just too sad for me. Kodomo no Omocha is my all time favorite since it does such a good job of cheering me up and making me laugh. Its the only anime I go back and watch more than once.

other favs are:
Serious - Saishuheki Kanojo (She, the Ultimate Weapon)
Schoolgirl - Full Moon wo Sagashite (In Search of the Full Moon)
Cutsey - Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar
Shonen - Naruto
Fantasy - Inuyasha

BlackjackGabbiani · « **Reply #26 on:** May 17, 2004, 10:05:06 pm »

Am I the only person who will admit to liking--nay, loving--Pokémon? I absolutely adore it!

I also love Digimon, although I see there's already another Digi-holic here. My favorite is Adventure 02, because it had Oikawa, who's one of my favorite characters *ever*.

Sheltie · « **Reply #30 on:** May 20, 2004, 07:30:30 am »

I'd also have to admit, thanks to my public libary (that carrys dvd's of all sorts) I have been hooked onto Gundam Wing as a new favorite anime. Unfortunally, there was only one problem with the dvd's, they have volume 1, 2, 4, and 6. Each dvd carries 5 episodes, and the dvd's i got were 2, 4, and 6 (without knowing it). I watched the first three episodes on vhs (which only carried three gundam wing episodes), then volume 2 (which stated on episode 6, so i skipped three episodes), then after volume 2, directly to volume 4, so that right there was skip 5 episodes and continue on to the next 5. Regradless to say, i didn't watch volume 6, not until i manage to watch volumes 1, 3 and 5... skipping 5 episodes in a row manages to get one a bit lost on what happened, and half the time, it's something big. Ah the trials (and patiecne) of the watching of a loved anime series (with not a lot of money on hand....)

Sheltie

P.S. my libaray lost volum 5.... *grrrrrr*... that had the episode where they finally find Quatre in space... *grrrr* wanna see... yet no money... *shakes head*

princessfrodo · « **Reply #31 on:** May 20, 2004, 08:03:48 am »

Ouch, I feel for you. I missed five episodes the first time I watched the series (Volume 5, from the sound of it), and it really didn't make things confusing.

Of course, I also missed the first ten episodes as well, so it IS possible to watch the series without seeing those episodes. Just find a synopsis of them online. ^.^

Sheltie · « **Reply #32 on:** May 20, 2004, 09:22:46 am »

i mean, it's not like it wasn't hard to follow, but i did miss the fun of being able to watch Quatre in action.... kawaii.... Quatre ga dai suki desu yo..... to dai suki desu ne...

I really wanted to see Quatre's episode, the 5th volume, *sigh* guess i'll have to wait some more.... *or until i get money.. mehehehehe*

Sheltie

princessfrodo · « **Reply #33 on:** May 20, 2004, 11:09:45 am »

Oh yeah, that's right, Quatre's insane cackling!

Yeah, that's definitly something you don't want to miss. ^.^

Kei-Kei · « **Reply #35 on:** May 22, 2004, 12:26:17 am »

Sigh... That reminds me of a little song I heard once, back when I was really obsessed with Toonami and Gundam Wing.

I know this girl Relena, she stalks me all the time,
She follows my Wing Zero which should be a crime,
I tell I'll kill her, omae o korosu...

I can't remember the rest, and forgive me if my spelling is wrong.

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #36 on:** May 22, 2004, 03:02:23 am »

There was never enough Lady Une.
*wistful sigh*

I think that one of the best touches to Gundam Wing was the variety and attention to the NORMAL mobile suits. Who cares if there's a new kind of Zaku!? The zodiac theme was great too, and so accurate usually.

anyone know if they used the same names in the original Japanese? I've only seen dub.

Tandy · « **Reply #37 on:** May 23, 2004, 05:09:01 pm »

Hellsing, Berserk, Saiyuki, X, Excel Saga...GTO and Gatekeepers

Slayers
Azumanga Daioh

Asagiri no Miko
Scrapoped Princess
Martian Successor Nadisico

And Amertoons:

Kim Possible
Samurai Jack

I'm pretty picky about my anime, so I'll just say my two absolute favorites are Key: Metal Idol and Fushigi Yuugi

Very few people see K:MI though.

PezCat · « **Reply #40 on:** May 26, 2004, 07:41:28 pm »

I wasn't gonna post until I had a concrete answer, because I just can't settle... Gundam Wing, El Hazard, Excel Saga, Cowboy Bebop and Sailor Moon (yes, I'm obsessed with Sailor Mars - sue me) are all high up on the list, but I hafta say I think .hack is probably my favorite.

Individually, no one portion of .hack is really mind-blowing. But the combination of what they've done with it just blows me away. Between the game, the manga, the Sign series, the Liminality OAVs, and now the Twilight series coming out, it's just absolutely enthralling.

i like outlaw star i just got so many its hard to remeber

« **Reply #46 on:** June 02, 2004, 06:35:35 am »

My personal top-ten:

#1. Nansou Satomi Hakkenden. All-time winner to-date.
Adaptation of about the 1st half of Japan's LONGEST
novel, (yes, longer than Tale of Genji.) The animation
quality sucks at times becuse it's OLD and some animators
weren't coordinating styles properly, but the storyline
is so darn good I actually travelled to Tateyama Japan
and visited the castle of "the good guys' " clan.

2. Last Exile. Awesome animation. Also I'm a bit of a WW1&2
buff, especially German Navy, so the costume designs, heck
even the sepia tint of the gauges on the ships - Gawd they
nailed those details to the wall. Same goes for all the riveted
corrugated metal sheetwork on the vanships. Truly an eye-feast. Too bad
the story line followed Claus & Lavi instead of Alex & Sophia though.
[ OK: ***BAD** and *Offensive* AMV Idea: Use Last Exile to
cover over select bits of Leni Reifenstahl's "Triumph of the Will"]

3. Evangelion - a blockbuster in its day.

4. Rurouni Kenshin - Neat that they included actual historical
characters and events mingling with the story. Abandon ship after
the Kyoto arc though, becuase it then adds all this magical, non-
period crud which almost turns the story into 'X-1899.'

5. Juuni Kokki (12 Kingdoms) Up to ep 39. NHK canned the series
at ep 45, but the end title change is a signal that the studio knew
this was coming, and tied up just about everything at ep 39. Good
music, neat Chinese medieval settings, costumes, landscapes (almost
want to travel to Guilin - compare the opening titles THIS:
http://www.tylersterritory.com/travel/china/guilin/li/li-03.html)

6. Azumanga Daioh. Don't ask for a plot. Just take it like 'Welcome
Back Kotter." Another BAD AMV idea: Kimura Sensei as 'Kotter?'
(ducks under lobbed tomato.)

7. El Hazard - good easter eggs on the DVDs.
Anyone figure out the cave code? So far I've come
to believe it has three digits, because you get returned
to the previous scene after the 3rd digit. However, I
haven't had TIME to try this 1,000 times to see if
'something else' finally happens.

8. Millenium actress.

9. Asagiri no Miko. Simple, yet bust-a-gut humor in places.

10. Vandread. Great foray into 3d animation and CGI.

Honorable mentions to 'Kai-doh-Maru,' for being almost as good
as Hakkenden but without being 460 min. long. Lovely 3d animation,
accurate landscapes. Also have to mention Silent Mobius.
