Post if you are an Anime fan and what is your fave.

Post by Jered Taikith »

I don't have a single fave but here is a short list of ones I loved:

Birdy the Mighty
Black Lagoon
Chobits
Claymore
Cowboy Bebop
Desert Punk
Dirty Pair Flash
Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex (Season One especially but Season Two also)
Moribito
Phantom - Requiem for the Phantom
Samurai 7
Twelve Kingdoms

That's about 10% of all the anime I have and about 2% of all the anime I've seen. There is a lot of anime I've given away, thrown away, or used for skeet shooting. LOL

Not a fan, but I watch anime along other cartoons, mostly 80s-90s, some that I like:

Saint Seiya
Tekkaman Blade
S.Cry.Ed
Shurato
Record of the Lodoss War & Leyend of Crystania
Ronin Warriors
More than a couple of giant robot series like Gurren Lagann, Godannar, Dancougar, etc.
Fullmetal Alchemist (Specially brotherhood)
Akira
Robotech (Although is not entirely anime)
Dragon Ball (complete sagas)
Soul Eater

I am fairly impartial to anime. Some is good... much is crap. And in some the cultural differences make it just too weird. Perhaps I just got really turned off by anime when one friend was really trying to get me to watch some stuff, which ended up being some sort of weird animated tentacle-porn strangeness... really disturbing sort of stuff. Pretty much stopped going out of my way to see anime that I did not already know was highly regarded by mainstream viewers. I am definitely not into any of the artsy-fartsy stuff... I just need a decent story with some action and is otherwise just entertaining.

I was partial to older stuff primarily (before the events described above), namely Robotech, Star Blazers, Vampire Hunter D, and some others I cannot even remember well at this point.
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?

The best anime ever is "Grave of the Fireflies."

Yeah. The thing about Anime is that it can be geared to males, females, young or old. Many companies in the US distributing anime are reticent about declaring a target audience as they don't want to dissuade people from buying a particular anime. What you are describing with the tentacles and porn is more properly known as Hentai. I won't watch hentai because it's porn and because it's weird and because, honestly, production values for most hentai is awful.

Except where it's bizarrely high.

Personally, my favorite series are:

Fruits Basket (but moreso the manga than the anime)
Strawberry Panic
Cowboy Bebop
FLCL
Shin-Chan
Black Lagoon
FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Evangelion

Well, and the films of Studio Ghibli, but saying you're a fan of that is like saying you're a fan of breathing. Of course you are.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventures has turned out pretty cool.

Mind you, I like a lot of anime...

So let me get this straight: You murdered a dragon with a fortress?
