Favorite Anime/Manga

[[.redacted]]

I always have to remain faithful to Elfen Lied.

The ending of the manga was the saddest thing I read.

Indeed. The anime's ending is just put to shame by it... I should have probably watched it first so I had a better opinion of it before the manga.

I thought the anime was done well, except for the ending. I'm sure they intended to go through the entire story, but they stopped it halfway through.

I wonder why, but the anime is still open for another season, should anyone pick it up.

Nah, if the wiki is correct, it was started before the manga was completed and it separated from the manga canon at episode 13. It wasn't intended to be continued.

My dreams, they have been ruined.

Well, there's still other animes.

Ah, don't lose hope yet...

Claymore had a gecko ending as well, but its creator Norihiro Yagi is getting a second season made the disregards the non canon.

It can happen, keep hoping =D

I've got a couple that have stood out for me over all of the rubbish ones (and trust me, their's plenty of those), and those are

Darker than Black - Incredibly underrated series, it didn't start out as anything special at first, but then I got more drawn in as the series progressed. I'm actually put off from watching the second series though, as I have heard very mixed things about it, and i'm afraid that it might dampen my love for the series.

Higurashi no naku koro ni - Possibly the most disturbing and downright wrong thing I have seen this side of Elfen lied. I love how its split into different story arc's that all come together in the end, seriously brilliant stuff.

The Slayers - Surprisingly funny, and has bags full of charm. Comes highly recommended.

I like me some Trigun, outlaw star, one piece, spice and wolf, naruto somewhat(its hit and miss sometimes), Ghost hunt, .hack sign, .hack legend of the twilight bracelet, xxxholic,FLCL,Gungrave, and thats about all I can remember at the moment for anime(soo many....).

As for manga, One piece, .hack legend of the twilight bracelet, FLCL, DearS, naruto, History's stongest desciple kenichi, Trigun.

 

[Reverend Del]

Close tie between Tenchi Muyo and Azumangah Daioh. The weird in Daioh is just so awesome.

 

[JediMB]

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind ranks high in both categories.

Right now I'm loving reading Skip Beat!, though. Finding a fantastic anime to follow is something I've found quite hard recently, though.

 

[Ironbat92]

I loves me some DBZ.

 

[LadyRhian]

Manga- Fruits Basket, Ghost Hunt

Anime- Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Ghost Hunt

 

[Memor-X]

Code Geass and .Hack at the moment until i get my Christmas anime which my mum misplaced because i got Trinity Blood, Black Cat, Speed Grapher and Ergo Proxy waiting for me and i can't say Bleach cause i live in Australia and we are only up to like episode 113 and i've only got downloaded up to 130 and i'm reserving my opinion to see just how long they'll drag out Izen's scheme to kill the royal family (so far he won't even try till after the 10th season from the looks of it)

Favorite manga: Dragonball. It's the only one I've got. Anime on the other hand, I've watch alot more. From those I've watched, my favorite anime would probably be Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherood. I never watched the entire first one, but I just couldn't stop watching Brotherhood. I was eager every week for the new episode to release, since i began watching it when it was only around episode 30.

I'll give a nomination to Gurren Lagann though, because it's soundtrack is killer, and I got really really sad when

Spoiler

Kamina died.

but Fullmetal Alchemist was a different kind of series for me, and unlike Gurren Lagann, which made me sad, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, was on the brink of making me cry.

 

[TheMusrich888]

Manga: Bleach. Would pick it for anime as well, but the current arc on [as] is crap, and i'm already past the main story on the manga.

Anime: Outlaw Star, without a doubt. If you're a fan of sci-fi, do NOT pass this up!

 

[mParadox]

Anime: Pretty much everything I've watched. But if I had to be picky I'd choose... Kuroshitsugi I.

Manga: Hellsing

 

[JokerCrowe]

I think that there is SO much anime out there actually posing the question "What is your favourite?" is kind of ridiculous. Its like asking for your favorite song... I have to say though My favorite so far has been... it's actually kind of impossible for me to answer. the ones I've seen so far are Rozen Maiden, KnJ, Seitokai Yakuindomo, Love Hina, Azumanga Daioh, Ouran Highschool Hostclub and School Rumble. I think all of them have flaws, but all of them are also really good in their own way. LIke, really Good. If I were to review them I would give most of them 3(,5) stars, you know; worth watching, but you'll forget about it the next week. I have yet to see a Masterpiece, but then again I've only JUST gotten into anime, so I might not be a good "conneseur". My favorite right at this moment, is a tie between School Rumble and Seitokai, but that might change to Azumanga or anything else tomorrow...

 

[Lullabye]

HolyLand is one of my current favs for manga.

Anime wise I am currently loving StarDriver. are they my favorites? proly not.

*Looks at avatar*

That character looks vaguely familiar. I can't quite figure out where I've seen her before >.>

On topic

Favourite anime - Uhh.... *looks at avatar*
Close runners up include Darker Than Black, Full Metal Panic, Hellsing Ultimate and a few others I can't be arsed to list.

Favourite manga - Fruits Basket, Hellsing, Real, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Vagabond and a whole lot of various yuri oneshots and series.

Darker than Black - Incredibly underrated series, it didn't start out as anything special at first, but then I got more drawn in as the series progressed. I'm actually put off from watching the second series though, as I have heard very mixed things about it, and i'm afraid that it might dampen my love for the series.

The second season is.... not very good. I got about halfway through it before dropping it from lack of interest. I'll probably go back and finish it eventually, but it really is a piss poor sequel to the awesome that was Darker Than Black.

 

[Rooster893]

I'm not much for Manga, but if I had to choose, I would go with Dragon Ball Z.

Anime, however, my choices are:
Kirby of the Stars
F-Zero Falcon Densetsu
Sonic X

 

[WindKnight]

Manga is easy - Magic Knight Rayearth

Anime... hmm. Haibane Renmei

Thanks for informing me, i think i have just saved myself from watching one of my favourite anime's being turned into a load of shit.

To anyone who hasn't watched it, i employ you to, its brilliant stuff (the first season).

 

[TeeBs]

Have not read enough manga to have an answer
But favorite anime would have to be ether Neon Genesis Evangelion, MM! and Slayers.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

Dragon ball, without question.

Superpowered people with robots, cyborgs, aliens, and dinosaurs, complete with planets blwoing up.
