As far as standalone movies go my top 5:
Princess Mononoke
Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Vampire Hunter D
Howl's Moving Castle

As far as series go: Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis, FMA

There is none because they all get ruined by the yaoi drawers/writers. Seriously, can you look at Vegeta the same way after you find out some girl was more concerned with who's dick he'll suck then who he'll fight?

Girls are allowed to obey Rule #34 as well you know.

Howl's Moving Castle

YAY now i have more anime to check out

TTGL is amazing. Excel Saga is fantastic (especially the episode after the last episode), History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi is wonderful (though the manga is getting a little silly nowadays) and One Piece is brilliant.

But my favourite anime is tied between two. Air Gear and Hunter x Hunter. Both are shows I have watched from start to finish at least ten times each. I fell in love with Air Gear from the first episode. I love Icchi's personality, and his youngest 'sister' makes me laugh so much. <3

Hunter x Hunter though, had me gripped all the way through all of its seasons and OVAs. I adore Gon. He is quite possibly the most innocent character to ever appear in an anime. Killua I don't much care for, but the relationship between the two of them is incredibly heart warming.

im gonna have to say outlaw star simply because it did a good job of provided everyting that waspopular about anime around that time

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Excel saga, Black Lagoon, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, a couple I don't remember (I have BAD memory..), Naruto (yeah, so sue me for liking wizard-ninjas) and TTGL is good, but fawkin' A, it's not like they cross-bred No More Heroes, Batman Arkham Asylum and portal and then put it together people. Get over it.

 

[Mr. GameBrain]

I love Baccano. Its probably the most unique Anime out there, and so fun to watch.

Also Akikan was great for a laugh.

Needless is good too.

EDIT: As a kid, I also loved Dragonball Z and Tenchi Muyo.
The Big O was pretty interesting as well.

EDIT 2: Mangas I'd reccomend reading, but not watching are Gantz, (because its grim, VERY GRIM!!), and To Love Ru, (trust me, its veeerry embarassing to watch, (more so than akikan, but I would argue that Akikan is borderline acceptable!))

EDIT 3: The Manga that really needs to be made into an anime is Franken Fran!

 

[OtherSideofSky]

My personal favorite is Tenshi no Tamago, a highly experimental film by Mamoru Oshii and Yoshitaka Amano, but The best anime ever made is probably Wings of Honeamise. It remains one of my favorite films of all time and achieves a level of artistry and characterization rarely seen. Honorable mentions must also be given to things like Uchuu Senkan Yamato (the original), Mononoke Hime, Macross DYRL, and Patlabor 2. Satoshi Kon's films are also ridiculously good, as are Mamoru Hosoda's. There's just so much that's been made over the years that it's really hard to include everything.

Still, I think Wings of Honeamise is probably the best.

 

[harvestsmoons]

I'm going to have to say Clannad.

 

[Dragoon]

Bleach all the way for me its got everything action, giant swords,comedy, girls with ovesized boobs...

 

[RadioActiveChimp]

Code Geass

edit: also School Rumble!

 

[RadioActiveChimp]

I refuse to pick one! There is no best, they all have flaws.

Name Bebops ?

I was so bored I stopped watching after 3 episodes.

Rakkana, you are a pitiful man whose soul has dried up. I'm not angry, but rather, I pity you.

I do know. I just don't like it.

1. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

BEST. ANIME. EVER!

2. Samurai Champloo
3. Code Geass
4. Death Note

 

[Biri]

Hurm.

Probably Azumanga Daioh.

No...DEFINITELY Azumanga Daioh.

Close second comes Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (and Kai)...and Gunslinger Girl.

EDIT: maninahat you want a Yotsuba anime?

Bah, I honestly think that would be terrible, it just doesn't seem like it would work in anime form, and hell, think of how bad it would be when it's dub comes around, because you know it would happen. *shudder*

Besides, at least it isn't a tripfag going on about how to crossdress.

Spoiler: In glorious nippon because human women are inferior.

We're talking about Lanced Jack, right?
