[100 beasts kaidou 321]

I like One Piece as you can see from my sig, Its because it has alot of badass characters, Stuff that Arent finished in their first arc, The Villains werent evil but everyone is just trying to get the same goal

[Scootalove 10,689]

I liked Dragonball Z back in my Adult Swim childhood days, and now I'm just watching old Naruto episodes. So, I guess my favorite anime is Dragon Ball Z.

[Yes-Man 597]

I liked The Last Airbender, and I liked it's sequel, The Legend of Korra, even more! I enjoyed the mysterious concept of bending, and I enjoyed the atmosphere of LoK.

[Tex 88]

Well, that'd have to be Monster. I haven't finished the full set of episodes yet, but it's probably the most amazing Anime I've ever seen. The characters are unique, have amazing compositions, compel me to no end to keep watching, and just... Uhg.

 

It's just so good, and despite being a type of anime I usually wouldn't watch, it's quickly stood out even past my bias.

[YuiNyan 41]

My favorite is fairytail it's a pretty long anime... i think it was 175 episodes.. i'm on 49 now... still loving it....

 

(the theme song of the anime is awesome btw) xD

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

Truthfully, I haven't watched that much, but I did enjoy Yuru Yuri a lot, as you can see by my avatar. Neon Genesis Evangelion was also bretty gud.

[PonyKorra 35]

Hmmm.. if I had to choose then it would be The Legend of Korra. That show is amazing! I also love Avatar: The Last Airbender and Soul Eater.

[Titan Rising 2,156]

Favorite anime is full metal alchemist brotherhood.  Never a dull moment.  But my favorite manga and story is definitely Naruto

[Nayruthepegasister 118]

Higurashi by far... of course I also really like Naruto and FMA... Higurashi is probably one of the most touching stories that I've read anyway.

[TomokoKuroki 1,707]

I really don't watch much anime. But, my favorite is Ah! My Goddess.  

 

It's mostly a romance based comedy anime. But; the interesting and complex world it is set is very interesting, and a very big appeal. 

[Dzastur 1,719]

Probably Cowboy Bebop.

 

It's influence on MLP: FiM fandom projects seems to be prolific already. I would have been surprised if it had been otherwise.

[lardbobobo 1,593]

I think i already posted this like crazy in some other thread, but my two favorite animes are Welcome to The NHK and Outlaw Star. One of which I love because it's simply awesome, the other I love because I think it tells such a unique story and is in many ways simply inspiring.

[~Lawful Jordo~ 2,066]

For me it's definitely Dragonball Z. No matter how many times I watch the series, I enjoy it every time ^.^

 

Gurren Lagann is a close second for me.

[Orablanco Account 3,707]

If it counts, then definitely Avatar.

 

If not, Cowboy Bebop.

 

My favorite anime movie? Princess Mononoke or Akira, legits, dudes.

[Zerobot 179]

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Lucky Star

Azumanga Daioh

 

And Madoka Magica was quite good.

Anjd Nichijou, of course. Though I've only seen one or two episodes of it...

 

 

 

 

Seriously though it's pretty great.

 

Oh, and Sket Dance! Loved Sket Dance.

[Apocalyptic_Unicorn 240]

Used to watch a lot of anime a few years ago, but I really just went off it. I've basically given up on Bleach and Naruto, but they used to be my favourites at one point.
As of now, it stands:
1) Death Note
2) Fullmetal Alchemist (including Brotherhood)
3) Ouran High School Host Club
4) D Gray Man
5) Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
6) Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam
7) Akira - Not really a series, but a great film

[Jinx 2,292]

Berserk is my favorite in the genre, from the music to the characters it's fantastic. The story was a bit rushed in the series, and the manga divulges a lot more.

[Hansel 1,512]

Some anime films I like are Perfect Blue, Cat Soup, Akira, Cowboy Bebop movie, and of course, several Ghibli films. 

 

As far as TV series, I like Death Note, Code Geass, Soul Eater, Ouran High School Host Club, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, XXX Holic, and Pantie and Stocking.

For some reason, that's all I think of at the moment.  

 

 

Hmmm.. if I had to choose then it would be The Legend of Korra. That show is amazing! I also love Avatar: The Last Airbender and Soul Eater.

 

TLA/Korra aren't animes, they're American cartoons. The creators were just inspired by anime for the shows aesthetics.

Eight, to be exact. All of which were essentially the same thing. "Anybody else here watch anime?" "Can you recommend some anime?" "I like [insert anime title], what anime do you like?" Now there is one thread to rule them all (with the exception of show-specific or genre-specific threads).

 

 

My anime escapades haven't been very unusual. I've seen a lot of the standards such as Dragon Ball, DBZ, Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, Bleach, Trigun, Outlaw Star, FLCL (didn't like it tbh), Durarara, and probably some others that everyone has seen and have slipped my mind. Samurai 7 is possibly my favorite of everything I've watched. It's an interesting but somehow not very strange blend of mecha and feudal themes, with some of the most over-the-top yet not at all cheesy action I've ever seen. It's very touching, too. It's on Netflix, so give it a look for those of you who have it. I don't know of many other people who have watched it, and I really think it deserves more recognition.

 

As far as movies go, I haven't seen too many movies that weren't based on an anime series. Miyazaki movies are the only exception coming to mind right now. My favorite of those would be Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

[kirbyboi 588]

Lately I've been watching lots of more anime, and I found some pretty good ones!

 

I watched Clannad, so obviously I decided to watch Clannad After Story...and I LOVED it! However, this anime will make you very emotional T_T. 

 

Another good one I found (but not alot of fans and underrated), is Nanaka 6/17. It only has 13 episodes but is very cute and fun! It's about a high school girl who always acts serious and wants to grow up. One day she falls, gets knocked unconscious, and wakes up to get some sort of amnesia where she has the mind of her six year old self. I recommend to watch it!!

 

I'll be watching more.....but I highly recommend to check out Clannad, Clannad After Story, and Nanaka 6/17. Real good anime!

[Silverstream 51]

I've been checking out

the Spring Anime Season for 2013 and

found myself watching  nine of the animes

which i never do they are good!  Hell i even picked

up a harem anime theme which is rare for

me due to hate that branch of anime but

its funny if anything.

[GrimCW 658]

Hmm tbh i think the thread needs a purge

but i missed it somehow and will repost what i posted elsewhere (thought it seemed in the wrong place  )

with edits to make it fit

 

 

Love all sorts, but sooo many dub voices just sound "phoned in" these days 

i'll take the complete re-writes of the 80's dubs with quality voice work over that anyday...

 

ANYHOOF..the shelf next to me is loaded with older (and a few newer) series i collected while in the Navy and couldn't rely on streaming (then again it barely existed back then...)

even a few good, but rare, ones like Venus Wars, Iczer, Hyper Police, and good ol' Dominion Tank police 

oh and of course Iria.. freaken love that one, and its live action version.. tough to find but sooo good.

 

basically i'm into the "classics" so to speak... ever since most shows went 90% fan service and 10% broken story i've begun to lose interest. I mean, i like the extra character development, but the point we're watching them doesn't exist anymore....

But do tell of any newer goodies i may be missing out on no less, always looking for new stuff. Even the excess fan service ones can be good sometimes (Like High School DxD, i was really surprised at that one. Somehow demons, chess, and big flashy battles won me over despite the obvious ploy (and one particular attack) they used..)

Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property) is one of my favorite series. Totally lewd and funny, with some feelsy romance moments thrown in and a few cool battle sequences. Also, Nymph is too goddam cute!!!
