Lacrima Castle _ Anime and Manga _ Favourite Anime

Posted by: Seans Aug 3 2006, 06:41 PM

What's your favourite anime series of all time? The only anime series I've seen are Love Hina, Galaxy Angels, Gunslinger Girl, Evangelion, and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Oh, and I'm not talking about extremely long anime series i.e. Gundam Wing, Inuyasha etc. but rather the short series normally consisting of 25 episodes or so.

Anyways, out of those animes, my favourite would probably be Love Hina or Evangelion. I haven't finished watching Haruhi Suzumiya yet, so I'm not sure.

Well actually, most animes are just 26 episodes-a full season.
Usually anime only goes past the 26 episode limit if either the manga is popular, the anime is popular, or both.

Anyway, my favorite anime of all time is D.N.Angel.
My favorite this year is Melancholy.

Azumanga Daioh.

Yes, I happen to like school girls who do random things.

Posted by: Sauce XIV Aug 3 2006, 09:30 PM

I...really don't know....Maybe Loveless because it was such a kickass anime. Plus the OST is awesome as hell.

Posted by: Dr Sturm Aug 3 2006, 09:32 PM

Berserk or Excel Saga.

Who doesn't like Japanese anime school girls?

Posted by: Flamberge Aug 6 2006, 09:45 PM

FullMetal Alchemist, Naruto and Pani Poni Dash.

Seans, me. -__-

I'm currently obsessing over Air Gear & Azumanga <3

The Sonic anime rules. (Not the childish Sonic X, the OVA!)

Posted by: paperweight Aug 22 2006, 03:00 AM

Ah! I can never pick a favorite! I think my favorite is Outlaw Star. Maybe Cowboy Bebop or Evangelion. Azumanga Daioh is great and so is Full Metal Alchemist. Galaxy Angel, Chrono Crusade, Ah! My Goddess, Full Metal Panic, and Fate/Stay Night are really good too. I love anime! ^_^

Posted by: Marionette Aug 22 2006, 03:23 AM

Sorry, even if it is 400+ episodes, Detective Conan is still a series and still my favorite.

Second would have to be Gankutsuou and Princess Tutu. I also liked Scrapped Princess.

Posted by: chilly Aug 24 2006, 07:49 AM

I have too many fav animes. Azumanga Daioh, Girls Bravo, Full Metal Panic, Galaxy Angel, Steel Angel Kurumi, Love Hina, eh... that's all I can remember right now.

Posted by: Marionette Aug 25 2006, 12:24 AM

Pick one that stands up above the rest?

Posted by: Leyviur Aug 25 2006, 01:51 AM

Full Metal Alchemist, Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid, and The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.

I want to say Rurouni Kenshin but the only thing that rocked about that anime were some fight scenes in the first half. The rest of it was crap.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 10 2007, 12:42 PM

EDITED

Posted by: Rune_Ocarina Jan 10 2007, 10:33 PM

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for me...

Posted by: Seans Jan 17 2007, 05:12 AM

I'm adding Bleach and Mahoromatic to my list.

Posted by: Shadow Jan 18 2007, 05:55 PM

Fullmetal Alchemist & The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Mar 4 2007, 04:08 AM

My favorite animes are Full Metal Alchemist, Gundam Seed and Wing, and maybe Seed Destiny..........anyway, ......oh yeah! I love Bleach>>

Posted by: aerozero Mar 4 2007, 04:40 AM

I like the Gundam series in general, .hack, Fate Stay Night, the Maverick Hunter X: Day of Sigma, Rockman EXE., and Zero no Tsukaima

Posted by: Fujibayashi Suzu Mar 4 2007, 04:56 AM

Kannazuki no Miko, Naruto (NOT DUB), Bleach (Again, NOT DUB), and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.

Posted by: Sauce XIV Mar 4 2007, 05:22 AM

Adding Noir to my list.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Mar 5 2007, 12:27 AM

oh yeah! I forgot to add that i love RahXehpon.......i think thats how its spelt>>

Posted by: Lord Ryo Mar 16 2007, 06:02 AM

Let's see, favorite anime eh. I'll say Utawarerumono, Elfen Lied, or Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Mar 16 2007, 06:23 PM

I agree with you Ryo, Elfen Lied was a fantastic show, i watched it like 4 times>.<

Posted by: Lord Ryo Mar 18 2007, 08:18 AM

I know Rasler, I bought the slim pack box set a while ago but with sooooo many younger brothers and sisters I haven't found the chance to watch it more than once. I guess I better take what I can get, it's not a very kid friendly show if you know what I mean.

Posted by: Aekari Mar 19 2007, 12:27 AM

I think it's these four: Kannadzuki no Miko, Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora, Utawarerumono, and Kanon Renewal.

Posted by: Trinity Spark Mar 21 2007, 09:43 PM

I think my favourite of the moment is probably Fullmetal Alchemist. I also have a love for Final Fantasy: Unlimited and Saiyuki (though I have to say I prefer the manga, but the anime is cool beans too).

Posted by: Shadow Mar 22 2007, 02:53 AM

Updating list:
1. Last Exile
2. Fullmetal Panic? Fumoffu!
3. The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi

Posted by: Lord Rasler Mar 23 2007, 06:21 PM

YEAH! Someone else who likes Full Metal PanicXD i love that show*_*

Posted by: Lord Ryo Apr 6 2007, 07:28 AM

How could I have forgotten FMP?! I love Fumoffu, but I haven't got around to seeing TSR yet, but I will soon.

Posted by: Fujibayashi Suzu Apr 12 2007, 03:10 PM

It hasn't been subbed yet. But it will be in my favorites:
Mahou Shojo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS FINALLY. <3

Posted by: aerozero Apr 12 2007, 05:36 PM

King of Bandit Jing, it was a good anime with a decent English voice dub

Posted by: FlameSpark Apr 13 2007, 04:38 PM

Shakugan no Shana, for it's awesome story.

Though I have other anime I like too...many, many anime....

Posted by: Lord Rasler Apr 14 2007, 12:48 AM

They have a Jing anime! No way, I loved the manga^_^ Is it good?

Posted by: Lord Ryo Apr 18 2007, 08:14 AM

Oh, I add Shana to my list, I forgot about it for awhile... *forgive me Shana...*

Posted by: Desu Apr 18 2007, 10:20 AM

But I liked it so far, pretty interesting...

I think it's really good (too short though it was only 13 episodes long), especially the English dub which surprised me...youtube it to get an idea of what the voices sound like.

Posted by: FlameSpark Apr 19 2007, 10:02 AM

Can't wait 'till summer arrives~ *_*

Hopefully, it's when http://www.p-ark.tv/ is going to air.

Posted by: Astraea Apr 14 2008, 02:28 AM

I have a lot.

Fushigi Yuugi
Kyou Kara Maou
Naruto
Gundam Seed/Gundam Seed Destiny
Shaman King
Cardcaptor Sakura
Rave
...
and I don't even want to mention the others since my list is longer than Santa's. o_O

Posted by: Epica Apr 15 2008, 03:22 PM

I'm not sure what my all-time favourite is, actually...probably Pokemon. Back in the day, the dub was brilliant, and it stayed pretty damn awesome right up the point that they switched voice actors...now it isn't worth talking about, though >>

Now, just for the storyline alone, it'd be Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, because each time I watch it, I see something I missed before. The action isn't too bad, either, and Tachikomas are every kind of awesome. Plus, the central antagonists, particularly Gohda, are well thought-out and aren't just your stereotypical "OMG CONQUER THE WORLD!" kind of villains...which I hate. Unless they have a suitable evil laugh and a good hairstyle. And actually do some damage before their inevitable death.

The Digimon Anime was superior to the Pokemon anime in every respect back in the day.

HOLY SHIT, IS THAT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?

The Pokemon anime is a total pile of hypocritical shit now. Ash threw his godamn hat away and didn't get it on with Misty.

Posted by: Lucho Apr 15 2008, 04:34 PM

^post full of truth.

I don't watch anime anymore, but there's still some series that I like.
Those are:
Hunter X Hunter, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu!

Posted by: Epica Apr 15 2008, 06:18 PM

The first two series of Digimon were good, although Tamers completely ruined it. Then again, the Battle Frontier season destroyed Pokemon. Digimon was certainly funnier...I just took to Pokemon a lot more. Although Pokemon was the craze of the time back then.

The current dub of Pokemon makes my ears bleed...

He doesn't get it on with any of the members of his harem. >____>

Digimon was superior, but for some reason I liked the Kanto saga a lot more...some of the episodes were hilarious.

Posted by: Raijinili Apr 18 2008, 02:16 PM

1) What was wrong with tamers? I loved reading about the backstory of the Devas, although I didn't remember to watch it and thus all my knowledge is gleaned from reading.
2) You all should read the Pokemon Special manga. It's a lot better than the show. No Jessie and James!

Posted by: aerozero Apr 18 2008, 07:00 PM

Pokemon Special (called Pokemon Adventures in the US) is indeed awesome.

Posted by: Crimson Courege Jul 25 2008, 04:45 AM
