Best Anime Ever

Whats The Greatest Anime You've Ever Watched

[Butterball]

Detective Conan.

[Samurai Noodlez]

Robotech
Hellsing
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo

[Butterball]

Hellsing was great, I hear great things about Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo.

[Samurai Noodlez]

Keep in mind that when I refer to Hellsing I am, more often then not, refering to the OVA. This much more closely follows the manga, which I have recently finished, almost to perfection. The animation far surpasses the most recent of anime in detail and motion. It's also far more violent. The OVA is referred to as Hellsing: Ultimate. Volumes 1-4 are available on DVD in the states, while you'll have to search for the remaining volumes online.

Cowboy Bebop is frequently cited as one of the greatest and most influential anime series of all time, mixing a futuristic setting with a jazz music motif. In fact, my avatar is the main character. Samurai Champloo is headed by the same director and blends feudal Japanese samurai with modern hip-hop themes.

I'd recommend these anime to just about anyone. Friends of mine who normally dislike anime as a general rule have enjoyed them. Another recommendation would have to be Afro Samurai and the follow-up movie Afro Samurai: Resurrection.

Enjoy!

[Butterball]

lol Afro Samurai, I saw a couple episodes of that. I really loved Lupin III.

[Samurai Noodlez]

Lupin III was a good series. Have yet to see any of the movies, though.

[Butterball]

Lupin III was a good series. Have yet to see any of the movies, though.

I saw "Castle of Cagliostro" and "Lupin III Vs Detective Conan", not the other movies though, I have yet to watch the original "Green Jacket" series, I need to get around to that.

[Kuahji]

I've only recently started to watch anime, & have only made it through Witchblade, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Rin Daughters of Mnemosyne and part of 009-1. But out of those, Neon Genesis Evagelion was the best, just because of the final few episodes became so twisted, so surreal. Love it. So far I've liked them all though, Rin is VERY adult and very twisted, but still a great watch.

[Butterball]

Twisted is good brother, I might have to give that show a look.

[Samurai Noodlez]

But out of those, Neon Genesis Evagelion was the best, just because of the final few episodes became so twisted, so surreal.

Indeed. Evangelion is currently being remade as a four-part movie/OVA, but only the first volume is currently available in the states. If you liked the original, I would highly recommend this.

Evangelion as a whole is a rather disturbing series, particularly towards the end and especially the last two episodes. I'd forgotten to add this series to my list.

[BaTTler720]

I Enjoyed The Comments Of All Your Favorite Shows Which Most Of Them I Know Allot,Even About Cowboy Bebop That Show Looks Realistic Even In Anime Fiction Overall Same Goes To Detective Conan As Well Because That's Is How Our Life Is Really About Having Detective's And Even Bounty Hunters...But Am Surprised Any One Of You Guys Haven't Mention The Dragon Ball Series The Manga/Anime Is A Complete Work Of Fiction And Story Line Even Its fiction Completes The anime World Of That Fact.

[BaTTler720]

I Think These Of My Few Types Of Shows I Like The Most To Aru Majutsu No Index,Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni And Umineko No Naku Koro Ni,Even Thou Its Subbed There Great Shows Plus To Aru No Index Might Have An English Annoucement In 2011

[Butterball]

I forgot about the Dragon Ball series, I think it's because it's so popular in the States and all over TV here I almost think of it as an American cartoon, I liked the Original Dragon Ball series and Dragon Ball Z up until the Cell Saga, after that it just got kinda repetitive for me.

yup, it's so mainstream I sometimes forget that it's a Japanese Cartoon, EVERYBODY has heard of it, it was very good too, up until near the end of the series.

[BaTTler720]

[quote="Butterball"]Even thou we thought that was over they somehow started making another Dragon Ball Z Kai a little twist i assume

[Butterball]

After Dragon Ball Z they made Dragon Ball GT, which I never watched. I hear the Manga has gone on past GT though.

[Butterball]

[Samurai Noodlez]

I've actually been watching DBZ off and on all week. A friend of mine downloaded the series and has been watching it consistently. I'll pop in every once and a while and watch a few episodes. I find myself laughing a good deal.

[bSmonkey]

Samurai Champloo (Adventure, Edo Period)
Cowboy Bebop (Sci - fi/ Spaghetti Opera)
Ergo Proxy (Sci- Fi/ Androids/ Post- Apocalyptic/ Utopia - Dystopia)
FMA (Not the Brotherhood) (Fantasy/ Mystery)
Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei (Goodbye Mr. Despair) (Comedy/ Social- Political Sarcasm)

[Butterball]

I hear one of the characters in Samurai Champloo is modeled after Hanzo The Razor, is that true?

[BaTTler720]

[quote="Butterball"]Hanzo The Razor? im thinking about Hanzo Hatori(edo Period)Ninja

[Kuahji]

I just finished watching Speed Grapher, has to be one of my all time favorites. Then again, I still haven't watched many of the great ones others have listed.

[SmileAreSexy]

I loved sailor moon as a little girl, but grew up to more adult ones.


I watched Dragon ball z, yu yu hakusho, tenjou tenge.. all good animes

[RockPillow®]

Ghost in the Shell, Mushi-Shi, and Cowboy Bebop were all nearly flawless in their own aspects in my opinion.

[The Atomic Mango]

ghost in teh shellz

i feel like i've said this over 9000 times now

[Samurai Noodlez]

Ghost in the Shell was good. Watched the series as much as I could back when it was on Adult Swim, but I stopped watching it for some reason or another. Loved the movie.

I recently finished Full Metal Alchemist in its entirety. Great series with some disturbing scenarios.

[RockPillow®]

Serial Experiments Lain

[Hannahljmr]

I absolutely loved Trigun <3 I miss it so much. My all time favorite was Wolf's Rain.

[Samurai Noodlez]

I absolutely loved Trigun <3 I miss it so much.

Yes. The movie's out in Japan and a buddy of mine has a fan-subbed version. I have yet to be able to watch it, though. Hell, I've even read a good portion of the manga, which is far superior. Problem is, I read both volumes of Trigun and up to volume five of Trigun: Maximum, but can no longer find it anywhere.

[Hannahljmr]

Really? I can't wait to see it!!

[Hannahljmr]

I really loved Escaflowne too.

[Xwikki]

I still need to watch Full Metal Alchemist.
It may be a major shoujo but I loved Vampire Knight.
Loved what I watched of Elfen Lied, and of course Hellsing.

[Hannahljmr]

Full Metal Alchemist was great

[Empty.]

I'd recommend Hetlaia for female viewers, its a great anime. especially if you like history/geography.

Also Fairy tale for male and female, Higurashi no naku koro ni for those who like things on a scarier note, Ouran High School Host Club for girls and maybe boys, Love*Hina for both sexes again, Naruto maybe..

Theres a lot of great animes and mangas, it all depends on the person.

For me the best are: Hetalia and Fairy tale

[VenusInChains]

Ghost in a Shell would have to be my favourite series.

I like Afro Samuri, but didn't like one series, I think ressurection.
Neon Genisis kept me interested, but I found the final episodes a little strange.
I loved Sailor Moon when I was a kid.

Loved Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononke.

[sophia262]

Elfen Lied ftw!!!
And Naruto and Death Note

[thewingmaster]

xxxholic
Shiki
Natsume's book of friends was so sweet it made my teeth rot
Hellsing (Integra is my favorite Female character. Ever.)

[RockPillow®]

Texhnolyze, a great cyberpunk anime. Not the kind of anime that will make you happy though.

Well, it wasnt much of an suprise when light yagami
turned into an shinigami so Ta-Dah!! if you didnt know

[Soulkiss333]

I like the idea that he became a shinigami. there were several indications that the new Shinigami was Light, but it never directly said that but obvious.
