Anyone have a favorite anime?

Post Reply New Topic

I have a word document on my computer that I update with finished anime and give them a rating between 1-10. I have around 55 finished anime on the list as of the time I am writing this post. I could post the list here if anyone is interested.

My Favorites have been these in no particular order

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood,
Code Geass,
Steins Gate,
Wolfs Rain,
Angel Beats,
Zetsuen no Tempest,
Hellsing Ultimate.
Psycho-Pass:
Attack on Titan
Elfin Lied

Honorable mention: Naruto/N-Shippuden
(Not the best, but I've been watching it since I was like 13)

Also Kenya, have you seen Clannad Afterstory? i havent seen it, but I've heard that it is one of the best anime out there.

ah gotcha, Ive yet to start Clannad, next time I'm in the mood for a slice of life ill be watching that one.
For now, my immediate list consists of Black Butler, Black Lagoon, Tokyo Ghoul, and Psycho-pass 2.

And to answer your question, you will hear a lot of people say that the Japanese original is always better than the english dub. I don't buy into that. Some English voice actors are fantastic, others aren't so great. same goes for the japanese. There are also other factors. Spice and wolf for example seemed to take place in old Europe, Japanese voices felt really out of place for me. Further, If the anime is really complex (Code Geass and/or Psycho-pass) I have trouble following along with subtitles (I'm a slow reader).

Short answer, it just depends. I would say about 80% I watch is in SUB because I enjoy the language and am trying to learn it, but I have no problem with English dub like a lot of people do.

I would never have discovered anime in the first place if it hadn't been for the dubbed Sailor Moon, so I can't "hate it." With that being said, I prefer the subbed Sailor Moon original and Crystal (not sure if they've even dubbed it yet).

All of the other animes I mentioned, I've only seen dubbed, but wondering what they'd be like subbed. I do know that some stuff does get lost in translation.

Regarding the openings, Yu Yu Hakusho's English opening is pretty good:

my most favourite anime is between Madoka Magica and Angel beats, i can't choose because Madoka Magica had a really great storyline and characters however Angel beats i found i really developed an understanding of the characters toward the end. Angel beats is the first thing fictional or actual that had an emotional effect on me (not even real people usually make me feel emotional let alone fictional characters)

Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Watamote, Grave of the Fireflies.

My top 6 are

Gintama
Gj-Bu
Toriko
One Piece
Fairy Tail
Seitokai Yakuindomo

My all time favorite is fullmetal alchemist brotherhood I love every thing about that show.
Some of my other favorites would be:
dragon ball Z
ouran high school host club
death note
school rumble
gurren laggan

Dragonball and DBZ
Inuyasha
Gundam Wing and 00
Black Lagoon
Outlaw Star
Trigun
Samurai Champloo
Cowboy Bebop
Shaman King
Reborn!
Tenjou Tenge

I just started watching this new anime on Netflix called Dararara! So far it's been awesome and I think it'll enter my top favorites

I can't get into anime. For a few reasons.

Ya, I'm weird like that...

I have many, but my absolute favourites is Dragonball. I really enjoy that show and that is what got me into anime entirely, so I thank dragonball for that. Other favourites of mine include lucky star, non non biyori, charlotte, Gochuumon and many more

About the only anime I watched was Shin-Chan & Pokemon & I only seen the 1st couple seasons of Pokemon. Shin-Chan was hilarious.

Pretty much anything that Studio Ghibli makes.
