So anime?

[Talaris]

Hardcore collector, too many anime to mention.
If you liked K-On/Nichi/Azu then you might want to look up GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class:

Spoiler

One of those hardly known of gems IMO.

I think I've come across this before back when I was looking up AIC's work. I was watching Sora no Otoshimono and GA was another one from AIC that released in 2009. I'll definitely be checking this one out now.

 

[SirDeadly]

I haven't watched many but my favourite is definitely One Piece, I wish they'd put out more than one episode a week... I am also watching Fairy Tail and have completed Death Note. Does Pokemon, Digimon and Zoids count?

 

[Yggdraz0r]

As a person with ADHD.

Watch ALL the things!

Finish NONE of the things!

That is me basicly but with games .

]Why yes, I'm an anime fan.

And kind of a big one, too. [http://myanimelist.net/animelist/KiraMustDie]

First thing I noticed, how does one manage to get a custom background on the list?

The second thing I noticed, there are quite a few similar shows on it that I am watching aswell :3.

This would be my list :3. [http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Insomnium]

And this would be my list.

I started watching anime at 15 with one of the saddest movies in history of Japan, Grave of the Fireflies. And after that moved on to Bleach and the rest :x. And now I watch 15+ airing shows at the same time.

And while on the subject of learning Japanese, I use www.textfugu.com in my sparetime :3. And it works wonders !

 

[Neuromancer]

I used to have a grand interest in anime (You can thank Akira for that), but nowadays I don't really bother.
My favourites would be:
As mentioned, Akira
Neon Genesis Evangelion (+ the Rebuild movies, although I like those for entirely different reasons)
Trigun
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
FLCL
Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X
Ghost in a Shell
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water
Cowboy Bebop
Monster

 

[Agent Cross]

Baccano!
Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Afro Samurai.
Toradora!

One of these is not like the other three .

Baccano! Because it has immortals!? And is awesome! I kid, I kid. I dunno. That's just one of my favorites. Thanks Pyramid Head Grape!

Final Answer: Afro Samurai

[small]Speaking of Samurai. The lack of Samurai 7... it pleases me.[/small]

 

[Angie7F]

I have various anime channels on my TV, so I run them while I work.
I like that they are thirty minutes long which sets my work pace.

My list ordered by rating. Yes, I honestly believe Kanon is that bad.

So yeah, anime's a big thing for me. I've been watching for about a year and just started again after a short break, I'm trying hard to get through Cromartie (don't know why it's so hard to watch, I love it to bits) and I have Evangelion on the side too, which is great fun so far.

Favourites would be NHK, Nana and School Rumble.

Guilty pleasure?
High School of the Dead
it has plenty of reasons for me to hate it, yet I can't force myself to hate it :/

I take that show as a huge joke, and I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to. It's great stuff.

Oh, and I just got Denpa Onna to Seishin Otoko, which looks like fun. I hope it doesn't fall apart like Index, because I'm getting a very "Index" vibe from it. It also gives me vibes of the terrible ecchi shows that Katou Tatsuya makes music for. Not sure why.

I have the ability to now and have a site I can go to but I've just lost interest. Then again I lose interest in many things when I get in a depression. Anyway the problem before was that many of the sites require things like Adobe and I have an Ipod Touch 3rd Gen so it was impossible for me to watch anything but YouTube. Posting on this site was difficult too.

What site is it you (would) use? I'm always looking to expand my list of streaming sites.

Gogoanime is always a good one and AnimeFreak.TV is also good. The one I mainly watched that had everything and was amazing was AnimeTomb, but I think the government got to them. They had every single Shakugan no Shana series and a bunch of other really obscure ones. Another awesome part about it was that for the movies they were split into parts and you could have them all buffer at the same time for the best results. They also didn't have many ads everywhere like how GoGoAnime does.

Those damn suits, man! Damn them! D:

 

[Nazulu]

Ugghhh. I didn't think the OP would make me sick.

Really? Mainstream anime fags?

Naruto is probably better than most of those you listed. Especially when Elfin Lied amazed me with it's terrible writing and characterisations.

There's no way a 300+ shounen show about ninjas is better than Nichijou, School Rumble or FLCL. Absolutely no way.

My list ordered by rating. Yes, I honestly believe Kanon is that bad.

Salvan from The Escapist wrote a rather seething review on Kanon too. I'm surprised that even though you hated it that much as to put it last, you still watched all 24 episodes.

Personally I loved it, and subsequently played the VN multiple times and watched the 2002 adaptation too. The 2002 version had a much more satisfying ending, but the art by KyoAni and VA talent brought in was much improved.


People will hate me for saying this, but personally I thought Air was much worse than Kanon. The ending annoyed me so much with its little twist I remember shouting "OH FUCK THAT" and storming off.

What confused you?

I just mentioned that in the link you posted that you marked Kanon as the worst, yet you marked it as watched. For a big 24 ep show, unless it was the ending that made me dislike it, I would have probably stopped watching.

I don't have a clue why I continued watching, is what I meant.

I said most. Even though I didn't find FLCL probably as great as you did.

 

[Abomination]

While I have enjoyed some anime I do not like anime in general. It think it has most to do with the stereotypical tropes that occur. I have been watching Jormungand which seems to avoid them quite well (so far) but most suffer from (in varying degrees)

Terrible methods of exposition.
Extended 'staredowns'.
Sideline commentary/internal monologues during combat when intervention is easily possible.
Repetition of an individual's name to express concern or affection.
Women overreacting and being violent towards men for comedic effect.
Liberal use of deus ex machina.
Bi-polar characters swinging between pragmatism and emotional reactions.

I could go on but those are the 7 deadly sins of Anime in my opinion. The worst thing is how many of them happen at the exact same time.

The greatest shame is they are capable of embracing very interesting ideas and concepts but the former "sins" cause the characters to react in ways that just make no sense given the context.

Yeah, it's pretty overrated but I'm sure I'd love it to bits if I watched it another time and paid close attention to the dialogue. The wikipedia article says some crazy shit that I totally missed.

Regardless, I'm absolutely sure it has miles on top of Naruto.

 

[namhorFnodroG]

Have been watching anime for about a year or so. I only watch when I don't really have anything else to do, but It's still very enjoyable. Here's a bit of my backlog if anybody cares I)

-Chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai ep 9
-Bleach ep 83
-Jojo's bizarre adventure 6
-SAO ep 21
-Girls un panzer ep 6
-The world god only knows season 2 ep 4

I have to say, I saw one episode on TV and thought it was pretty average, a big fight scene that dragged on with a terrible english dub. Then I saw another episode when I went to a friends place, and it is a lot better in Japanese and that episode was a lot more interesting. Also, for some reason that particular episode had improved animation as well.

I can't say much about Naruto but I'm gonna go through it soon.
