Favorite Anime

Hmm... let's see. Top 5, how 'bout? Of course, I'm subject to "OOH WOW NEW DO WANT!" syndrome, so take that into account.

One Piece - It's likely my favorite anything ever. Honestly, I have no found a single flaw with One Piece; the characters, the pacing, the... hell, the everything is better than anything else I've watched. It's made me laugh and cry and cheer a dozen times within the span of five minutes. Oda takes everything that make Dragon Ball and Astro Boy and Shonen in general, then resculpts it from gold. My love of pirates and adventure probably contributes to my enjoyment, but, really, that's just the icing on the cake. One Piece is perfection incarnate, and that's not hyperbole.
Rurouni Kenshin - It's one of my classic favorites. I mean, it's very simple (assassin repents; becomes benevolent wanderer), but the depth applied is fantastic,and the characters very well done. Humor, action, philosophy - the only thing keeping this out of first is the fact they never animated the Revenge Arc, due to sickeningly suckish fillers. Though the Son of God Arc was pretty good, the rest was bad... but the Kyoto Arc more than balances things out.
Fullmetal Alchemist - This is a newer mention on my favorite's list; I watched the final episode and epilogue movie no more than a month ago. But it's just that good. The only one on this list that doesn't come directly from a manga (though it is based on a manga, it's REALLY different), it crafts a good, emotional, dark story in a short span of 51 episodes. The characters become real, and the action is out of this world. Five stars, definitely. Dub was great, too... I doubt we'll ever see a team of voice actors that good again.
Yu Yu Hakusho - I remembered enjoying it when I was younger, but not in depth... I picked up the DVDs a few months ago and found it to be better than I remembered. Again, the real charm is in the characters - each one is so incredibly different, but the way they interact is always entertaining. The dubwork is also a biggie; Justin Cook and Christopher Sabat and John Burgmeier and Chuck Huber and Cynthia Cranz and Linda Young and... honestly, EVERYONE is perfect in their roles. Among FUNi's best works.
Death Note - Another recent choice... and I'm a tad hesitant to put it on here. However, I can't think of anything better at the moment, so... here it is. I think you know my favorite part - charcterization is among the best I've ever seen. Conflict, mind games, action (yes, even the action!) is top notch - all thanks to Madhouse and their animation quality, of course. The second half is a tad weak, but the first is, like, Hulk-level strong, so, like Kenshin, it balances out.

...if we could include movies, though, I'd squeeze Porco Rosso and Castle in the Sky in. THOSE are fantastic. Close running for the number one spot, without a doubt.

ONLY 1 NEW POST!!? HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!?????

Anyway... lame list is lame. Stereotypical well-known animes FTW!

To be completely honest, I'm pretty sure my list would get me laughed off of any serious anime board for being a Shonen lunkhead.

Most anime addicts are freaks, though, even surpassing Nintendo fanboys.

Destiny Guy · I think I have a girl in my avatar about 95% of the time.

If I could post movies, than Tekkonkinkreet would be numbers 1-6 on my top 5 list.

@ Johnny: I was surprised how different the fullmetal alchemist anime is from the manga when I saw it, and yea the second half of Deathnote is meh.

I was never that into anime, though I agree with toadster about the 1st Pokemon season. Lapped it up and loved it. Then the anime got stale and I stuck to the movie releases instead.

Pokefreak113 · Stab my eye. I dare you. I DARE YOU!

Anime can suck my big, green, shiny-

HUZZAH FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS NO ONE WANTS ME TO!

Why has Ash and company only bathed 3 times in the entire 500+ episode series? They do it off screen, since, generally, nude children are a no-no on TV, for obvious reasons.
Why aren't James and Jessy sufferring from horrible brain damage from Pikachus thunderbolts? They are. I mean, their disguises have been going downhill since their first apperance - obviously missing some pieces.
Why aren't James and Jessy dead!? o_0 Pikachu has far more control over his 1337 lightning skillz than you'd think.
Why is it that Ash and company havent aged? They have. They just look the same 'cause they're too lazy to update them... Ash is estimated to be 15 or so during Sinnoh.
How is it that a 10 year old kid winds up saving the world over 3 times!? He's DESTINED to!
If Ash wants to be the very best..... why does he suck? IRRELEVANT!
When Ash jumped into Mew and Mewtos beams in the first movie, why didnt he blowup into massive bloody chunks? He turned into f**king stone... They're magic.
Why did he jump into the beams in the first place!!!? Idiot. He's stupid.
Why arent Pokemon ruling the world? They could easily annihilate the entire human race.... They're stupid. Except for Mewtwo, who just... didn't. He tried to, though. Points for that.
Why is Gyrados considered a flying type? Japanese legend about a fish or something.
Why can rydon use surf? Why can you use Surf?
Why are rock type weak to water? Erosion is one of the few forces in the world that consistantly destroys rock, and one of the cores of erosion is tides and rivers.
Why doesnt brock ever open his eyes? He's intensely Japanese.
Who was the racist that created Jinx? Nintendo is intensely Japanese.
Why does misty, a 9 year old girl, wear booty shorts? She's, like, eleven at the time, and... well, I imagine they'd be comfortable, really. Except for the suspenders. THAT'S the odd part.
Why does officer jenny and nurse joy have so many siblings!!??? Because that's the joke.
Where does team rocket get the money for all their useless tech and transportation? They are members of a massive, multi-national crime organization.
Why are all the proffesors names trees? Because that's the joke.

Destiny Guy · I think I have a girl in my avatar about 95% of the time.

Why does officer jenny and nurse joy have so many siblings!!???

Because all the officers and nurses look the same in the games.
