Anime is japanese animation. What defines anime that sets it apart from western animation. I feel the best way to describe anime is that it has a beautiful detailed art style and more involved stories. I don't watch anime as much as western cartoons but I'll share with you my top 10 Favorite Anime Shows.

Here We Go!

#10: Sonic X

This is an anime based on the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It follows Sonic and friends who are against Dr. Eggman after the Chaos Emeralds and also meet up with a human named Chris. I haven't actually seen much of this show but I am familiar with Sonc.

#9: Digimon

Digimon is supposedly Pokémon's competitor but Digimon is very different from Pokémon. One difference is that the monsters don't coexist with humans like in Pokémon. The plot involves kids from a summer camp who are sent to save the digital world from evil. Again I haven't seen much of this show but it's one I'm familiar with.

#8: Hamtaro

Hamtaro is a pretty cute show. It follows a hamster named Hamtaro who is owned by a girl named Laura and and he goes on adventures with other hamster friends.

#7: Yu-Gi-Oh

Yu-Gi-Oh is a manga series and most commonly a TCG which is actually my 2nd favorite TCG right behind Pokémon even though I haven't played or collected in a while. Throughout the Yu-Gi-Oh anime characters duel monsters like in the TCG.

#6: Sailor Moon

Sailor Moon follows a teenage girl named Usagi who becomes Sailor Moon a pretty soldier who is destined to save the Earth from Forces of Evil and she has a cat friend with her named Luna.

#5: Dragon Ball Z

Everyone loves Dragon Ball Z! It is a follow up to another anime series simply called Dragon Ball but Z is much more popular. This anime follows Goku and his friends who defend the Earth from various enemies like space fighters and magical creatures. It's got great storytelling, character development, and action.

#4: Kirby Right Back At Ya!

Here's yet another anime based off a game series. This show is based on the Nintendo series Kirby and follows Kirby the cute pink blob with the ability to copy abilities and he lands on a planet called Pop Star, makes friends there and are against King Dedede. About the theme song I actually really like it, it sounds so catchy.

#3: Fullmetal Alchemist

This anime follows Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse who lost their mother and try to resurrect her but they end up messing up their bodies and are attached to mechanical body parts and try to restore their bodies. I'd like to mention Edward Elric in the english dub is voiced by Vic Mignogna who is like the Tara Strong of anime and had played numerous anime roles and he's got an awesome voice as well.

#2: Doraemon

Doraemon is an anime adaptation of the children's manga series. It follows a blue robotic cat from the future named Doraemon who has a pocket filled with tons of quirky gadgets and uses them to help a kid named Noby or Nobita. It kind of reminds me of Jimmy Neutron in a way. Unlike most anime series this one is mostly comedy based and is a similar format to many western shows like Spongebob, Phineas and Ferb, or Regular Show because each episode is 11 minutes long. It's got really quirky and cheesy humor but in a good way. Disney XD aired an english dub of Doraemon last year and it's actually pretty good however it lacks a lot of japanese culture which is one of the best parts of anime.

And my #1 Favorite Anime show of all time is...

Honorable Mentions: Naruto, Cowboy Bebop, Attack on Titan, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Mobile Suit Gundam, Code Geass, Ranma 1/2, Soul Eater, Death Note, Ghost in the Shell, Yu Yu Hakusho, Black Lagoon, One Piece, Samurai Champloo, Gungrave, Lucky Star, Youkai Watch, InuYasha, Trigun, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
