Re: what's your favorite anime?
Oh boy here comes Chromer. I have many favorites both stand alone and series. Here's a few.
Galaxy Express 999 - Do I need to say more?
Love Hina - One of the best Harem anime you can find today. The Japanese and Englsih casts were both professionally done and the animation team did a very good job translating the manga to the anime. However, what I was not pleased was with the almost little involvement of the manga to the anime. The scene where Kistune, Motoko, and Mutsume hijack Ken Akamatsu's boat to find Keitaro makes up for it. ^_^
FLCL - Randomness + Style = awesomeness. FLCL just oozes coolness from the opening scene to the final credits. The story is well contained withing the life of a young boy and shows that it's all right to be a kid and let adults handle things themselves.
Onegai Teacher - I'm a huge sucker for romances and this one takes the cake for me. Comedy and Drama collide in a big way in this anime. The animation is superb and the English dubbing is nice as well. The OT and ET of this series is amazingly beautiful as well as the OST itself.
Lunar Legend Tsukihime - I wonder why I picked this one. The animation is wonderful to start and it has one of the most original stories I've seen in an anime for a long time. Meh, I liked it.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: End of Evangelion - Death. The Joy of Rebirth. The ending to one of the greatest anime series of all time. I STILL have not seen an anime that did the end of the world as well as EoE did. Good job.
Saikano - This anime leaves me depressed everytime I see it. Death upon death is the order of the day in this drama/romance series about love during war. I guess the emotional attachment you receive when watching the anime makes it so special.
Golden Boy - Comedy at it's best. The mishaps of a college genius wandering Japan on a mountain bike seems like a good idea when Golden Boy does it as well as they did. Also, make sure to watch the "Bike vs. Motorcycle" scene. That could be the greatest chase scene in all of anime history.
Akira - Ah, my very first anime. Take an already great manga, translate it into animation and what do you have? A movie still regarded as one of the best anime movies of all time.
I have many more but that was just the tip of the onigiri, so to speak. Also, Squeek, WHY HAVEN'T YOU FINISHED BLUE GENDER? SHAME ON YOU. =(
