In this sticky you can tell everyone:

  • Which is your favorite movie/OAV/series/etc?
  • Which anime is the funniest/saddest/scariest/dumbest/etc?
  • Which anime is the most over-rated/worst/annoying/etc?
  • Which anime is the most obscure/oldest/popular/newest anime you've seen?
  • Which anime made you cry/scream/giggle/etc?
  • Which anime were better as a manga, and vice versa?
  • Which anime do you want to see as a live action?
  • Which anime/manga do you wish was real/live in?
  • Which anime has your favourite scenes? What are they?

  • Which anime quotes do you like? What are they?

For favorite, I have to say that my favorite for a couple years running has been Berserk
I think that the art style mixed with great in-depth character development make it a great story, and they leave you rooting for the hero (anti-hero, if you wanna be specific) the whole time and I felt myself feeling very strong emotions towards the show at all the right moments. it was just perfectly crafted in my opinion, and I cant wait for the manga release

My favorite "anime" series would have to be Ranma 1/2. I don't know how long I have been watching that show (must be years now) but the mindless slapstick comedy and odd situations never ceased to keep my withering brain amused. It was my first Japanese cartoon.

(Berserk is a really good one, AuraJin. Would have been my favorite if not for the end which I won't discuss. I like the manga much better.)

My favorite is Kinnikuman Nesei/Ultimate Muscle Second Generations. I really love the character designs and the story. It makes fun of Dragon Ball Z because two of the characters 'charge' up to become more powerful. The story is well-written and funny at the right times. They've just started the second season here in the US and it keeps getting more interesting.

I agree. That show is weird as hell.

My favorite anime would be Cowboy Bebop. The characters and the music makes everything else. The animation is great as well. Seems like anyone could relate to anyone on that show.

My favorite anime of all time would have to be Cowboy Bebop. It's the ultimate anime. You want horror? Toys in the Attic. Action? Ballad of Fallen Angels. Want angst? Real Folk Blues. Comedy? Jamming With Edward. Bebop did it all, and in a lot of cases, did it best.

I REALLY like FLCL. Its interesting, and entertaining and such. When I saw the commertials for it I thought "wow...seems stupid". But then I saw the first ep and I was like "WOW!!!! I LOVE THIS!!" lol. Yeah, the cool thing is I'm being Haruko from the show for halloween. ^^ Thats how much I love the show.

My favourite above all has to be Cowboy Bebop. No other anime that I've seen can compete with it, though Furikuri is second. Somehow, since the first moment I watched Cowboy Bebop, it became a part of me. Nothing I've ever seen can match it, and for some reason I feel like Cowboy Bebop is very 'me' it's like my personality, it's weird at times, melodramatic, it transcends all emotions. It's different every episode, and though it's not interconnected, they all seem to have some meaning to the series as a whole. It might seem scary-fangirl-ish, but Cowboy Bebop is like something real to me, it's not even anime anymore, it's just Cowboy Bebop, that's how in love I am with it crying . Hehe, I've watched the series so many times through and I never get sick of it, and I got so depressed when Spike died, it felt like the whole series was done and gone- but then I got the boxed set, and I just skip over that episode smile . *sigh* my friends have even taken up calling me Faye Faye.

My favorite anime of all time would have to be Fushigi Yuugi, Yuu Watase is a god and i love everything she has done. The characters are amazing and the storyline totally captured my heart and i knew that this was an amazing series. Not only did it continue but its still continuing. My favorite character is Tasuki ^_^ he is just as much a god as Watase and he is mine *cuddles him* power to the Fushigi!! ^_^
