I'd forgotten; Claymore is pretty interesting too, though I wouldn't call it BEST.

At that point in the series just skip past all the episodes involving "bounto" or whatever they're called. The section after that it gets good again. [/quote] Another reason why not to watch anime. Â Ever since the "bounto" arc hit in Bleach the anime was so terrible to watch. Â Now the manga is just kicking ass. Â You get to learn why Urahara and Yourichi are on earth and so forth. Â |

Also, on the note of Last Exile, it should be watched, for it is awesome and all sorts of quirky. I luv it. <3 And I'm going to make a suggestion for Aim For The Top! Gunbuster while I'm making another post here. That's a real Gainax classic. Better than Evangelion. *ducks* |

I never watched much anime, I prefer American cartoons. The only series that compelled me to watch all the way through were Dragonball, Lain, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Pokemon is still fun to watch. I've never seen Fist of the North Star, but I really enjoyed reading the manga. I've also heard Prince of Tennis is good.

I got my wife into anime and now we watch a lot. Â Right now we are watching Trinity Blood, it's pretty good at times. Â It's very derivative though: like Vampire Hunter D, Hellsing and Trigun put together.
Anyways top picks would be anything by the people that did Cowboy Bebop (Samaria Champloo, Wolf's Rain), anything by studio Ghibli for a disney kinda anime, Vampire Hunter D, Hellsing, Outlaw Star is great for another space cowboy themed anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzamuya if fucking fantastic if you watch anime because it manages to make fun of anime and yet be a good anime in and of itself (like a Terry Pratchett book). Â If you see it though watch episode zero last or not at all. Â It's painful to watch if you don't know much about the show and characters. I'm sure there are plenty others I could suggest, and probably will later. Â I just didn't want to be too redundant with other people's posts. |

with all the (obligatory/expected) Full Metal Alchemist praise, I'm surprised no one's really talked about Bones' other projects other than a brief pass at Wolf's Rain by Surf. I take it no one especially enjoyed Eureka 7? I thought it was pretty fricken good, but I'm a fan of Bildungsromans. Actually looking over their list of work on wikipedia, there might be some potential here for alot more anime to the list.

FMA is a big example of an anime best watched with subtitles as not only does the dubbing suck, it completely changes the mood of the whole damn show. I the english dubbed one was cut to be like yu-gi-oh or some shit and then I noticed scene for scene it was basically as I remembered. But the voices made it lighthearted and silly even when it was meant to be serious. Annoyed the crap out of me. |
