[Cardboardtubeknight Cardboardtubeknight]

Your Name

 

[Naltic]

Your Name

Naltic

 

[nobitakun]

Madoka.

 

[Questless Knight]

Sorry I can´t name just one but if I was forced to at gun point.

 

[Bonkers225]

Mostly due to the GOAT soundtrack by Kenji Kawai

 

[qw90700]

or PSYCHO-PASS (Season one).

If I didn't watch Noragami my answer would be Psycho-Pass for sure!!!

 

[thanonyx thanonyx]

Cowboy Bebop, hands down

 

[FloreyEXE]

you already know

 

[Muftie2809]

Since I rarely watched anime lately, I think I'll considering F-Zero: Falcon Densetsu as this year's favorite.

As for my all-time favorite, I picked Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai. The reason I picked this is, even though I initially don't really like rom-com, and this one is executed in a unique way that makes me reconsider about the genre itself, and I like it so much. Or maybe it's just me.

 

[Jotaro]

in no order, some gems, i wont mention the usual ones

 

[X y b e r - S k u ll]

I think I still need to give it up to Gurren Lagann every time. Nothing will ever beat the first time I watched that series.

in no order, some gems, i wont mention the usual ones

Holy shit, Eureka Seven, Blue Submarine No.6, Harlock and Ping Pong. Immaculate taste.

 

[Morgana Veil]

Best eh hard to pin that down. Not watched tons of anime like I assume most users here.
Probably Oh My Goddess! or Tenchi Muyo! Both are fairly entertaining. Though I really prefer anime movies.

My partner and I both really like Demon City Shinjuku and Wicked City. Oh, and Mad Bull 34

 

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

I'd say Trigun.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Slam Dunk, without a doubt.

It's the reason I learned how to write articles in English, just so I could tell the world how awesome it was.

Uh, forgot to link it XD

Not a good article, but definitely important for me on a personal level.

Nichijou.

It is cute, has some really heartfelt moments, has great animation & comedy and is just a lot of fun to watch. It even has a handful of scenes that I re-watch on occasion.

Honourable mention:
Ore Monogatari (My Love Story)

My personal favourite romance anime. Beautiful and relatable in many ways!

 

[petran79]

80s TV and VHS had some great series with various genres

Favourite:
Candy Candy
Getter Robo
Ulysses 31
Captain Harlock
Nils Holgerson
Igano Kabamarou
Tao Tao
Sandybell
Pinocchio
Heidi
Around the World in 80 Days
Dogtanian and the 3 Muskethounds

But also some meant for ages 13 and up. Of course I did not know that.

Mines has got to be neon genesis evangelion

That's a great pick , but for me I'd probably have to go with Inuyasha but there's sooo many good ones , I love getting 90s and early 2000s anime on DVD from ADV Films and Pioneer/Geneon

List of Honerable mentions I love
● Neon Genesis Evangelion
● Shonen Onmyouji
● Any of the Tenchi Muyo stuff "Universe/Tokyo for example or the movies"
● Cardcaptor Sakura
● Naruto "Including Shippuden and Boruto"
● Burst Angel

There's more I like but those would be the top ones

 

[diet_orange]

Yu Yu Hakusho, Kinnikuman, Street Fighter II V (the American dub's intro still gets me pumped to this day), Cromartie High School, Battle Tendency Arc of Jojo, Oishinbo, Hi-Score Girl, Dorohedoro, 60's Astro Boy (actually got a few copies of the original American dub on VHS that my mom's boyfriend got me from a pawn shop), 90's Moomin, and the 2001 version of Cyborg 009

 

[pr0xy]

FLCL, hands down.

 

[Insomnia_ig]

Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist. And you can buy a copy of Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist at buyshimoneta.com

 

[zacharinolongpants]

tough choice, but probably:

Cromartie is absolutely God-tier

Macross: Do You Remember Love
Macross Plus
Megazone 23
The first Vampire Hunter D movie
Metropolis

And obviously Ghost in the Shell and Akira but those go without saying.

 

[LXXXROMonteVIdEOII]

Not exactly an Anime but a film based on a manga. Its Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

Bleach was the anime that made me have a taste for anime/manga again (I used to watch anime when I was little but I didn't know it was Japanese animation, just cartoons with a different drawing style)


I think MegaloBox is one of the many Spokon series I enjoyed. I really liked the atmosphere, music, and characters. I think my great-uncle (R.I.P.) would have really enjoyed this series, being a boxing fan.


It was a surprise to discover this anime. I liked the mystery and the atmosphere, i enjoy police and detective series. Honestly, this is what "Bright" could have been.

Fun fact: later I discovered this anime is a Remake of a light novel called "Dragnet Mirage" and the main protagonists look a waaaaaaay different

(Seriously, what obsession do the Japanese have with loli-bait? )​

Cop Craft looks cool. I swear Range Murata is similar to Yoshitoshi ABe to me, as whenever I see anything with their character designs or style I am way more likely to check it out. I'll have to give it a shot. Favorite anime; The Appleseed VHS that got me into anime in 96. Also MegaloBox was pretty good, I only finished the first season though.
