Which is your favourite anime?

I love cheesy vampire movies...so I equally love Hellsing.

Synopsis:
Deep within England exists a group dedicated to protecting the citizenry from the undead. It is known as the Hellsing Organization, led by the extremely cool and calculated Integra Wingates Hellsing. The Hellsing Organization has a secret weapon that gives them the edge when fighting against various creatures of the night -- the legendary vampire Alucard(Arucard).

I like Alucard's easy Baroque style and if you like gore and vamps... this is your type of anime.

Ah, Hellsing...you have good taste.
I love that anime...

Yeah, Hellsing, thats a good one.
Other series which are good:
Trinity Blood - similar to Hellsing.
Bleach - The best serie that is available right now
Eyeshield 21 - A relaxing serie about american football
Blood+ - A new one that I haven't seen that mutch of, but i seems good.

By the way, Hellsing season two is coming out soon!
Bust out the glasses....


Man, I wish I had a pair of those...

I've fallen in love with a few - Cowboy Bebop, Big O, and Full Metal Alchemist. I don't really know why I love them, I just do. I think it's mostly the stories. I haven't really sat down to fully absorb Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, but I've watched a bit over my husband's shoulder and really like the style (plus I loved the first movie - haven't seen the second one yet).

OMG I can't believe I almost forgot! My most very favorite in the world is Aeon Flux. I guess it isn't usually considered anime, but I've found it filed under that label before. I LOVE Peter Chung's style and the stories are totally out there, so naturally I love them. (yes, I've seen the movie, loved it, but it did lack a certian edge that I love about the animation)

Reign: The Conqueror is a close second favorite. Peter Chung's take on the Alexander mythos. Fabulous!

...btw, Hellsing looks nifty! I'll have to check it out. Have you seen the Vampire Hunter D movies? I just saw the second one not too long ago and I think I liked it even better than the first one...

WHAT! Theirs a second movie, I've seen the first one and loved it. Have to see if I find the second one now...

NARUTO!!!!!!! :a013:

I usualy dont like the whole ninja stuff but this caught my attention and now im constantly checking for new episodes and stuff

but if you happen to find or know where i can get the OVAs let me know plz

You are most likely to acquire OVAs at dedicated anime sites, for example, boxtorrents. There are quite a number of dedicated sites

hmmm.. The Simpsons......becouse of bright/funny look on life

FLCL

for some people this is too fast and too weird... for me it was the first anime I ever saw, and it totally spoiled me...

it's short, 6 chapters. so you can watch it in one afternoon, yet everytime I see it, I get more of the storyline. There's a lot of little details that you really don't get to see the first time around. And the soundtrack is just pure perfection.

This is my first and favorite anime.

Ghost in the Shell (movie), Ghost in the Shell Innocence (movie), Ghost in the shell SAC (26ep series) and Ghost in the Shell 2nd Gig (26ep series) are a close second... The first movie, altough dated, has a entrancing storyline and a very consistent cyberpunkish world. The second movie is the worst of the four, yet it has some of the most astounding visuals I've seen, I still get a physical reaction to the brainhack scene... The first and second series are prequels to what happens in the movies, but just as it was with starwars, I'd start with the movies and then watch the series... things fall into place beautifully.

I loved the GITS series. Absolutely beautiful and sounded excellent. Old school wise gotta be Captain Harlock or Galaxy Express.

But I will tell you this. I saw one episode of Samurai Champloo on AS and liked it. Then I went and ordered the collection online, watched it and fell in love. A wonderfully done series. Awesome characters, great music, the colors!!! Just an all around good anime. I suggest this to anyone. Don't watch the AS version. It's been Turnerized and sucks. Watch it the way it should be watched.

Tricky, I LOVED FLCL, think I will see it again soon. One of the best comedies that have been released.

naruto
It's first time that I see ninja like this. different from another anime or movie of ninja .

Favorite movie = Akira (the re-translated/dubbed 2000 version, the original version made absolutely no sense)

Favorite series = Samurai 7

Naruto is up there for me, because even if it is slightly cliche, it's amazingly drawn and has an intresting plot. I agree with Hellsing being up there also. So I suppose Naruto is my current favorite.

Runner Ups:
Full Metal Alchemist (Most plot twists I've ever wittnessed in an anime)
Cowboy Bebop
Samarui Champloo
Hellsing
And Dragonball (It's a classic people)

If you want real teen angst of the unbearable kind then look no further that Daniel Clowes. Best known for his comic series Eightball but those with the unmissable status would be:

Ghost World (made into a film)
Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron (if anyone reads it and has an opinion on the acutely abstract and surreal nature and thoughts to its meaning I'd love the discussion)

pure class

gonzolono

I know its not animation but if your interested the Darkside rip of the film of Ghost World is still well seeded.

Many thanks for the heads up but I've had it for years.

Everyone has mentioned some fine anime. Naruto has been one of my favourites, but the last 30-40 weeks of filler has driven me to the manga. The one that stands out the most for me is

Ebichu the Housecleaning Hamster...

Gotta luv that wacky, tongue in cheek, Japanese Humour

Big O is one of my favorite shows period, anime or whatever.

It's a show with just enough ambiguity to make you want to know more but not with too many unanswered questions to make you feel you’re on some meaningless wild goose chase. It's one of the few show in my opinion that begs to be dissected to the point of malpractice.

Dragonball anybody?

Doraemon, most Studio Ghibli films and Initial D. Naruto is also a guilty pleasure of mine.

As for manga, I like 20th Century Boys, and Hana Yori Dango. Quite the contrast.

Hmm, Naruto, haven't seen that one since episode 153 or something like that.
Tell me when the fillers ends so I can start watch it again :D

Excel Saga is absolutely insane, not one of my faves but recommended nonetheless. Fist of the North Star is mind blowing, as is Akira (both versions). Never really got into any anime series per se, yet ive been watching japanese animation for over 10 years, but i do enjoy the occasional dip into Gundam Wing and anything with Mechs (they are the future guys!!).

i love hellsing
coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool anime

I have some anime just sitting around and haven't got to it yet
such as Trigun, Elfen Lied.
But from everything I've watched, I liked Cowboy Bebop the best. It's a pretty awesome anime ... All 26 episodes.

I've been seeing everyone around talking about Samurai Seven and when I saw LS mention I thought I should check it out. Christ! That's the best series I've ever watched. If you don't have it...get it. NOW! Not gonna tell you anything about it. Just watch it.

Id have to say Akira and Ninja Scroll would be my favorite.

I have to admit I've never been into anime, but Bleach got me hooked. I'm excited to hear Adult Swim picked it up for Fall. I hope they don't screw it up in translation. I still prefer the Japanese voices and reading the subtitles. I even ordered the Viz manga. They have a couple of things that aren't in the cartoon version.

I'm hooked, fa shore. Bleach has my vote.

Initial D
and Fushigii yuugi

Well i have a little different tast in anime. Mostly i like comdey indced animations. I loved the six episodes of GoldenBoyand offcourse the kiddy favourite POkemon!!!

SpongeBob SquarePants ....no kidding

I own the Lain box set.. um I just saw this own called "Voices a Distant Star" it was quite good, Oh and the the beserk series was quite good also

My favorite anime is what can i say ninja scroll,bleach ,and ff7 last order what can i say i love them and i like a little bit naruto series :D

I can't say I watch much anime but Naruto has gotten my attention.

Elfen Lied

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :a013:

Hi Nusret ...I've resized your attachment as it was well above the allowed size of 640 x 480
faerie

all those years of pokemon watching nd collecting cards..... and they*the thing you do in bed with you're gf or bf* ruining the show..... ARG GRMBL pokemon was cool... not anymore


anyway i like naruto, and saw oban starracer once and dont know what to think but is well drawn so will watch more.

its gotta be naruto for me
other ones that r pretty close would be fma, trinity blood, azumanga daioh, maybe a little school rumble

Dragonball is very dorky, so it is not for me. I do, however, watch Cowboy Bebop religiously.

Dragon Ballz

Evengelion all the way!

Other then that, samurai champloo- although the ending is kinda lame, but its a really unique experience.

ragnarok is amazing

Yeah i have to say ghost in the shell movies 1 & 2 they were pretty good. ohh and Vampire Hunter D was pretty damn good id have to say.
but i dont really get into the series side of anime i just havent seen one that really gets me hooked.....wait there was this one called AVATAR i think

Deth Note...it's new...and cool...it just captivate me... ...un fortunate is ongoing and it can be watched one ep a week...or a week and half..depends on the subteam who subs it...but it's okay
Another one is Yu Yu Hakusho.. very nice...

I didn't read through all of them but i saw alot of the same anime mentioned. One of my favorites is Vampire Hunter D. I thought the movie was awesome. Another really good one which is semi new is Howl's moving castle. Some of my other favorites are the final fantasy movies and Dragonball Z Gt. My 11 yr old son watches alot of the newer anime shows out there but they just don't grab me like the older ones.

Full metal alchemist.



Besides the fact that the main charcter who does most of the work is 4feet tall, and the largest most intimidating character (my own opinion) is a 5year old's soul in a metal suit.. I like the indepth play ons of it. For example, how the majority of the characters names have thought into them, not just a label that sounds cool and spiffy (The humonculai (sp) being named after the seven deadly sins.) I also found it's relation to science (although definitly fictional and never possible) to be pretty awsome.






My friend told me about an anime called "Fruit Basket." She's on the same level of thinking twoards anime as I am, yet she seems to prefer Fruit Basket over Fullmetal Alchemist. Can anyone shed some light on what this anime is? (I can't get an explination out of her.. she's... hard to work with )

well I like those all of the animation movies and some cartoons like tom and jerry, pink panther etc :)

What, I have to narrow it down? In no particular order:

Bleach,
Elfen lied <-- Über cool theme tune,
Air gear,
Final fantasy unlimited,
Rorouni Kenshin,
Full metal alchemist.

There's more but my brain hurts.

FMA
Death Note
Naruto
Dragon Ball Z (i hate dragon ball gt)
Hikaru no go (dislike the ending very very much)
Akira

Rurouni Kenshin ; exciting must watch episode each time...classic samurai anime.
