Favorite Anime?

[Kasumi Ocada]

My faves are:

Full Metal Panic

Last Exile

Kino's Journey

Rurouni Kenshin

Kodocha

Magic User's Club

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Yes, I DO consider Avatar Anime. All Anime means is 'animations' in japanese, plus Avatar is directly influenced on several Japanese animations.

In short: I am not a Japanazi. Thankyouverymuch.

LoL well if we're going to do that, then...

I LOVE AVATAR!! <3333 Yeah, ATLA XD! *rolls around with her giant Appas*

Avatar was cute! Wasn't it slightly based off of Chinese things, as well? (such as the movements of the element bending?)

[Kasumi Ocada]

It is at least partially based upon a variety of Asian cultures, actually.

My favorites are (in no particular order):

Papuwa Island - All I can say is FREAKING AWESOME. It's like the Monty Python of anime. The humor is juvenile, but the whole show is really funny. And the characters are lovable.

Basilisk - Lots of unpleasant things that are done in totally untasteful ways. I love it. It's just so different from all other anime I've seen, and the art is gorgeous. But there is lots of death/rape/torture/other bad things...so if you don't like that, stay away.

Code Geass - Lulu makes this whole thing worth it. Also, I really just like all of the characters, and how dramatic the whole show is.

Mushi-Shi - Interesting stand-alone episodes and a lot of originality. It's very fun to watch.

Kino's Journey - Really stimulates the brain. It's so philosophical it's ridiculous. Really good, though the art is a little strange sometimes...

Axis Powers Hetalia - FFFF. Just really cute. I wish they would hurry up and dub it so I can watch it without subtitles.

and probably more I can't think of right now. XD

I haven't seen too much (read: any at all) anime recently, so I'm going to have to go with the few that I have seen.

I like Code Geass, simply because it was awesome of three different levels. =P

And I liked Ef - A Tale of Memories, as well as the second season Ef - A Tale of Melodies, because they were... well, Just watch them. =o

[Usakoneko]

Mmmm, anime! Must love. XD Going to have to chip with with a few of you guys. My favorites?

Sailor Moon- In all forms! Anime, manga, live-action! Yes please! It was my first anime and will probably always be my top favorite.

Fullmetal Alchemist- Especially with the new anime coming out now. Hoooooo, yes. This is one of the few anime that I absolutely love the English voice cast, and I really hope they keep them if they dub Brotherhood! Vic Mignogna rocks socks!

Code Geass- I sat down a couple weeks ago and watched this whole show through both seasons. It's absolutely fantastic and I would vote it the most likely anime to keep you guessing EVER.

Naruto- I avoided this show for ages due to the hype over it here in America, sure it was just some stupid shounen show I'd hate. Then a friend convinced me to borrow her manga, and I fell in love. Although... >.> Note to self, need to download the last couple chapters. XD

Lastly, Ranma 1/2- Another of my first anime, and I still love it now. It's a VERY long anime, but it's absolutely hysterical and I can't get enough.

I haven't watched animes in ages D:
I used to adore Doremi, it was a bit overdramatic, but sooo cute *^*
I also really liked Fruits Basket, although I only saw half of the series.
And of course I loved Sailor Moon as a wee kiddie, every girl did :3

[Weaseldale]

My friend keeps trying to get me to read some of her favorites, but I'm too lazy...

I like Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, Dragon Ball (Z), AVATAR , pokemon, and Bleach.

Speaking of Bleach, Stark's resurreccion=

I've been meaning to get into Code Geass, but there's the lazyness coming in again.

I like a bunch of different things when it comes to Japanese Animation.

Outlaw Star: I happened to like this series. Even though one of the female leads spent half her screentime naked, it didn't make the series dirty. The design cocepts of the ships was interesting. Though I think I'm thinking to hard with the who grappling in zero gravity thing.

Wolf's Rain: Very dark, very deep series. I was biased originally because the main characters are wolves in search of paradise. (I love wolves.) There were a few episodes that seemed like a giant headtrip.

Avatar: The kids show with darker undertones. Like others, I belive this falls under Anime due to the fact it's inspirations come from many Asian references. I liked the character development as well as the plot itself.

Azumanga Daioh: The series that said I don't always have to watch something super violent to be entertained. The series vaguely reminded me of when I was in school.

Digimon: I watched the series through the Digimon Tamers block. Then the time moved so I couldn't watchi it anymore. I like the concept of having digimon companions and having outrageous adventures in alternate worlds. (I was a big Garurumon fan.)

Those who Hunt Elves: This series probably was the most random thing I've ever seen. A meathead martial arts guy, an actress, a highschooler chick with a military fettish, a possesed tank, and an elven sorceress travel the lands stripping elves to find spell fragments. It blows my mind, and yet I enjoy the fiasco.

Hayao Miazaki: I think this man's a bloody genius. I'm particularly fond of Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Nausicca, and Castle in the Sky. Pom Poco wasn't too bad, but I watched it at the age where I realized it was preachy. It's like the Anime version of Ferngully.
