Thread: Favorite Anime

  1. #1

    Default Favorite Anime

    What's yours? Mine is Claymore and Naruto, and I've only just watched a few episodes of Claymore. I find it very intriguing how the anime is dominated by females. Nice change.

    The only anime I ever really enjoyed was the Read Or Die OAV series, though I've never had a chance to watch the subsequent TV series. I've also seen one episode of Bobobo-bo bo-bobo and truth be told, I wanna see more!

    Beyond that, anime is something I can never really get into: to say that the word "anime" is short for the word "animated" transliterated into Japanese, there's an awful lot of simplistic tweening, cheap camera pans and general laziness in the animation going on, which puts me off. I'd call that a "moshun touiin" or a "moshuto" (motion tween) rather than an anime.

    So many! It's like asking about your favorite movie or book. Way too many to chose just one.

    Try Wolf's Rain

    It is rather compelling.

    Claymore contains a lot action, much more than Naruto, and it's so gruesome and gory as well. They don't hold back. Blood, nude, even talk of rape, leaves you thinking wow.

    Mine would probably be Wolf's Rain. The animation is quite good and at times even breathtaking. The characters are appealing and have mysteries of their own which are slowly revealed as the story progresses. I like the way how the world isn't black & white but grey instead: the heroes do some gruesome things while many of the villains' actions can be ambigious (I felt particularly sorry for Darcia because of his tragic story). It's nice how love stories and other subplots don't happen all at once but take time to develop, and it's interesting how certain characters are connected.

    The storyline is quite coherent and interesting, and the only bad thing I have to say about it is the fact that it progressed too quickly in the final episodes. If they had made just a few more episodes, the pacing would've been perfect and the ending wouldn't have been too rushed. Still, the final episodes are truly mindblowing in the way the events unfold, and I really liked the cleverly ambigious ending which had ties to a certain scene in a nice way. The music by Yoko Kanno is among her best with truly uplifting as well as tragic melodies, and there are some really beautiful songs, including the opening and ending themes.
    How I met your mother, Donald Duck's parents style! Love at first temper tantrum!

    I'm with Renmiri, there are way too many to list for me.

    For something funny watch Irresponsible Captain Tylor or Tenchi Muyo! OVA
    For something artistic watch Haibane Renmei or Last Exile
    For something action packed watch Big O or GunGrave
    For something romantic watch Kare Kano or Voices of a Distant Star
    and for something just overall awsome, watch Cowboy Bebop

    My favourite animes at the moment would have to be Nadesico and Stand Alone Complex (1st and 2nd gig), however there is a small list of classics every anime fan should own:

    * Evangelion
    * Cowboy Bebop
    * Outlaw Star
    * Chobits
    * Excel Saga

    I don't know why, that just seems to be the rule.

    Don't watch the TV series, it's 20 episodes of padding, then 5 episodes of actual story, plus they've ruined some of the original characters
