Cardcaptor Sakura
FLCL
Golden Boy
Tsubasa Chronicle
Love Hina

...are definitely my favourites and classics to me.

Cardcaptor Sakura was absolutely amazing. Because first of all it had magic. It talked about love, death, friendships and growing up and there's so much adventure going on at the side. So it's not just your typical magical girl show.

FLCL was eccentric, funny and definitely something to watch. I loved it, it's only six episodes but awesome.

Golden Boy is something you should watch if you're of age. It's about this young man who travels all of Japan, studying everything and learning about everything while attracting girls on the way. It's HILARIOUS.

Tsubasa Chronicle - Another CLAMP classic I would say. A show incorporating their most popular characters, including those from CCS, Chobits, X/1999 etc. It's very good, funny, has adventure and has a smurfing awesome OST and you should definitely check it out.

Love Hina - Hilarious. Lovely. Entertaining. All you need to know.

Those who are posting FullMetal Alchemist as being one of the greatest animes, I have to question why? I made mention that it was alright, and actually quite good for the first half of the show, but the second half is littered with plot holes, sub-plots that don't go anywhere, character development that ought to be called sub-par, and unnesesary twists and stalling with certain subjects and events. The drawing and animation are supurb, that mcuh I can agree on, and is a constant throughout the entire series, but honestly, how can you pass Full Metal Alchemist as being one of the best animes out there? Unless you enjoy turning a blind eye to obvious plot holes, sub-plots that are going nowhere and are a terrible hindrance to the story, and sad, stupid, meaningless character additions and removals... if you can ignore all of that for another 26 episodes( give or take a few), than feel free to watch and enjoy it.

Simply realize that for those that have yet to see it, they are goibng to be lead into something that starts off as truly amazing, but than peters out.


And I have to wonder if anyone actually enjoyed wasting their time on the series of Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell - they're abominations of two wonderful movies. Terrible, terrible spinoffs. Soil to their name, in essence.

Watch the movies, but give a wide berth for the abhorable things the series are.

[Ryushikaze]

Considering that the GITS movie is an absolute abomination of the manga, I find the series, which does NOT piss all over the original material, far better than the movie.

Can't say as I watched the Ninja Scroll series.

Considering that the GITS movie is an absolute abomination of the manga, I find the series, which does NOT piss all over the original material, far better than the movie.

I stand corrected then, in the sense that Stand Alone Complex is much more adherant to the original material. It is perhaps more of a personal opinion than anything else now. So, in that idea, whoever has not seen Ghost in the Shell, watch and decide for yourself rather than have someone like myself decide for you.

Can't say as I watched the Ninja Scroll series.

Don't. It's redundant, the characters are not interesting in any sense of the word, the plot and music are, for lack of a more fitting term, stupid, and it's completely... just don't.

Haibane Renmei's pretty much just character development. All about the main character trying to find out the purpose of the Haibane existing and why stuff is as it is. The art's pretty too

.Hack//SIGN also focuses on character development, but it's also very interesting. Definitely something that you want to watch if you enjoy that kind of thing. It also has a lot of talking, but I personally enjoyed the conversations.

.hack//ROOTS Features more action than SIGN from what I've seen, but also has character development. Some of the episodes tend to drag on a bit, with nothing really happening (This especially can be seen after the major tangle between the guilds TaN and Twilight Brigade) and some awkward moments, but I still like it.

Fruits Basket is great if you like romances with love triangles.

Bleach's beginning isn't exactly screaming out of the mold, but it gets better as it goes on. Like said before, it has many good fight scenes.

Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles is fairly good, with major crossover with characters of CLAMP's other works.

Azumanga Daioh is a great anime featuring a group of highschool girls as they go through highschool together. Each have their quirks, making it fun to watch as they interact.

Genshiken is basically about a college anime club in Japan. Also very funny

Tactics is pretty good from what I've seen. The art is clean, and the story isn't half bad.

RahXephon is weird... but still good It's a mecha anime.

CardCaptor Sakura is cute and fun to watch.

The Slayers is full of comedy, but can also make the switch to serious when the time calls for it. It's a bit old, but it's still really good.

The Vision of Escaflowne is also really good, featuring fantasy sword fights, mecha, and romance all in one.

That's all I can think of at the moment. I got lazier in descriptions towards the end, sorry

EDIT: Matantei Loki RAGNAROK (Mythical Detective Loki RAGNAROK) is funny and interesting

[Venom]

Sorcerous stabber Orphen, Trigun and Hellsing are pretty good.

[Zeromus_X]

It should also be noted that the FMA anime is very different from the manga. And I know that they do that sometimes, but in this case, it's a bit....extreme*.

*Yay! Surreality!!

I'm confused...

[salvaje]

I prefer manga to anime, although watching anime is sometimes enjoyable.

Go to Barnes and Noble and buy a manga.

[starseeker]

I'm currently watching Zero no Tsukaima, which is very funny. Its about a guy from our world who gets sucked into another magical world to be a familiar for a really inept witch.
