Well, i noticed there was no thread depicting your top 10 anime titles, and if there was, it died a long time ago. Well, this is a thread to talk about your top ten list of anime, so users looking to find a new anime to watch can always come here. If you don't have ten, simply post what you do have, but please don't post with less than 3 titles in mind. Please state the reason why your picks are what they are, and please no flaming of lists or specific anime titles. This is simply a thread to state your oppinion of anime that really impacted you, [e.g. funny, inspirational, groundbreaking, etc.] So, i guess i'll start this off:
1.) Neon Genesis Evangelion: Deeply pschological, and very moving in an inspirational way. It makes you think about what everything in the world really is, while providing you with defined characters and a mesmerizing story. Definitely my number one, and if you haven't seen it its definitely worth checking out.
2.) Elfen Lied: Yes, i know theres some nudity, and a LOT of blood and gore, but beyond all that is such a deeply blended story it surpasses all others. It blends romance, horror, science fiction, everything really in such a perfect medly of suspense, story, character. The artwork is breathtaking at times, and the story is developed to lengths you could never imagine. Every characters story weaves in and out of others, and each is individually defined. Such a masterpiece packed into 13 episodes is hard to find, but fortunately this is one of them.
3.) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: A lighthearted anime with a deep message behind it. A very unique anime in itself, because the episodes don't go in chronological order. The storyline keeps you guessing and has a deep message behind it. Trapped in your own logic, deep yet lighthearted. Lovable characters, defined personalities. A real fun anime to watch.
4.) Air (TV): I personally love this one, it just has such a cozy feel to it. The artwork is as expected of this year, and the story evolves in a beautiful way. As you're watching this series, its as if you're living a dream. It starts out simple, but then quickly changes in the middle episodes, and goes down a very complex route. A sad anime, but its not something i would have liked to miss out on.
5.)Mai HiME: Well, when saw the first few episodes, i was thinking an all girl cast with power ranger magic. That's basically what it is, then they introduce a ton of characters and start developing the main story. IF you stick around though, around episode 17, everyone's story links together, and it really is intense. It must be the deepest romance i've ever seen, and i'm completely serious. The ending could have been better, but i enjoyed this series tremendously nonetheless.
6.) Fate/Stay Night: More of an action/shonen kind of show, but i really enjoyed it. Those who played the game say it could have been better prtrayed, but me having never heard of it before watching it made me unswayed. The story is original, the artwork is crisp, and the battles are intense. There's an element of romance, and yet everything about this anime is just so......cool. I love the characters, the story, everything. Definitely worth checking out.
7.)Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: Another romance =3 This starts out you're average romance, guy likes girl, girl is shy, they hook up. Although, around ep 2, the plot takes an unexpected twist [unnamed so i don't spoil] The rest of the show focuses on the effect this had on those around her, and what they end up doing. This anime is very believeable, and incredibly saddening. The characters have hidden bonds to one another, that they cannot express, because they feel they have an obligation to the one they hurt. The ending had left me bawling. Yet another 13 episode masterpiece.
8.) Basilisk: Book of Koga ninja arts: I watched the first 2 eps, and was about to drop it. They completely give the wrong impression. In the end two clans need to fight against each other, and the two heads of the clan are in love. The artwork and animation is superb, and the character designs lean on more realistic. It may not sound original, but the conflicts throughout are very complex, and this is worth checking out if you like deep stories, and involving animation.
9.) School Rumble: This one is lighthearted, like comedy lighthearted. It focuses on a girl who can't express her feelings, and a delinquent who loves her, but is shy as well. There are a ton of characters involved, and a ton to which are highly lovable. This show goes through their adventures in school and what happens along the way. So far 2 seasons are out, and 2 ovas, third season to come! Definitely good to watch after any of the deep titles mentioned above =D
10.) FMA: This was my first anime actually, which got me into the genre. It has lovable characters, an intense plot, and deep character development as well. I'm sure everyone's seen this, so if you haven't its worth checking out.
Well im finally finished, but lastly there's pokemon of course, cus its just fun, funny, and fun to watch in every way xD
