Your anime 3x3

[karloss01]

snip

just realized I missed some better choices then Death Note (it was only in for filler)

mine would go 3x4 with the inclusion of;

Fairy Tail
Attack on Titan
Afro Samurai
Outlaw Star

 

[Elvis Starburst]

Holy hell it took me ages to put this together x.x Here it is though! I'll list the animes for you guys, cause... reasons?

Sword Art Online, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, Legacy of Ys- Books 1&2, Fullmetal Alchemist, Clannad, Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Persona 4, and Code Geass!

Spoiler

Two that I didn't put on here were Cowboy Bebop and Gundam 00~

 

[FPLOON]

Yeah... I'm both too lazy and still too upset at photoshop/MSPaint/whatever-the-hell-the-program's-name-is to really do an anime 3x3... and the more I think about it, the more I don't think I could just list just 9 without wanting to go bigger... (like 4x4 or, even, 5x5, if not for the lazy part...)

Anywho, listing's in the spoiler tag below... because whatevers 2009!

Spoiler

Tenchi Muyo
Shin-Chan
FullMetal Alchemist
Cowboy Bebop
Haganai
Samurai Champloo
Gunslinger Girl
Baccano!
Afro Samurai
Cased Closed
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
FLCL
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Lupin the Third
Black Lagoon
Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann

(Note: What's interesting about this list is that the first 9 anime series listed I definitely have on either DVD and/or Blu-Ray...)

The fun part, I feel, is imagining where each of them would be placed if I did used said program in question... since I don't think they would be placed in that particular order listed in said spoiler tag anyway from left to right and/or from up to down...

And, I rate everyone so far a 7/9 because no one's getting a perfect score as well as some of you listing shows and/or movies that I either haven't seen yet or I have, but barely remember it enough to incorporate it in the overall rating process...

 

[VanQ]

Oh boy, there's been plenty of activity in here since I've been away. Time to get to ripping to shreds rating peoples' tastes.

Snip.

Oh, Elffybaby, I did tell you that I watched and enjoyed it. And it was in no small part in thanks to Rias. But still! I just can't give it a point. I can see it being in a person's top 20 maybe, but just not top 9.

Snip.

6/9 for your tastes. I love me some Tenchi Muyo and Burnup Excess doesn't get enough love these days. Polar Bear Cafe is uber hipster mode though, couldn't get into it.

Snip.

5/9. Log Horizon was enjoyable and you just can't go wrong with Battleship Yamato. Ghost in the Shell and FMA are always safe bets and they seem to be showing up on a lot of lists here.

Snip.

I give your tastes a 7/9. I've said it before and I stand by my opinion that Kill la Kill is extremely overrated and that Black Rock Shooter was a steaming pile of wasted potential. I actually agree with you about SAO's second arc. Fairy Dance was easily the worst arc in all of SAO. Do watch the second season that starts next week though, Gun Gale Online is flippin' fantastic and hopefully the Mother's Rosaria is excellent as well. I suspect that if S2 is popular enough Mother's Rosario will probably get a movie release.

Snip.

4/9. So much shounen. I'm afraid my tastes are just too different to yours. Seems you're a mucher bigger fan of grimdark and gore than I am.

Snip.

8/9 because I actually haven't seen Natsume yet. Worth a watch, I suppose, since the rest of your list matches well with me.

Snip.

5/9 because I'm not that big of a fan of manly men doing manly things. I'm more of a cute girls(or cute boys, in the case of Kore wa Zombie desu ka) doing cute things.

Snip.

4/9. I'll never understand why people enjoyed Shingeki no Kyoujin so much. It was obvious that the author was just making shit up as he went even before he publicly admitted to doing so. I'll let Saya no Uta slide too, since it was such a fantastic VN. It's too bad it will never get an adaptation, I suppose it wouldn't really work out though.

Snip.

8/9 because again, Kill la Kill is killing all these potential 9/9s.

Snip.

7/9 here because I haven't watched Blood C (I've only read summaries and seen the gifs) and I got bored and dropped Code Geass.

Snip.

2/9 only because I haven't seen or finished most of the chows you picked. I'm glad to see the original Dragon Ball on somebody's list though. It had a charm to it that DBZ never managed to capture.

Snip.

You also get 2/9 for the same reason as above. I've not seen or finished most of the shows on your list.


Whew. That's everyone on the first page now. Maybe I'll come back and do the second page later.

 

[Scars Unseen]

Just looking at all of these, I glad that there's a giant amount of Madoka love going around. Not that it's surprising, given the sheer amount of shit that's been affiliated with the series in only 3 years. Not even Eva got this whored out in that amount of time.

I actually had never heard of it until about a month ago, and then almost I ignored it since I'm not a huge fan of the magical girl subgenre. I'm really glad I didn't.

 

[Trude]

Time to dig through my pictures folder and other weaboo hidey holes.

Okay here's my 3x3 lets hope this works, clockwise from left.

Urusei Yatsura, Royal Space Force, Bubblegum Crisis, El Hazard, Gunbuster, Lupin 3rd castle of Cagliostro, Patlabor, Dominion Tank Police and Maison Ikkoku.

Christ man I haven't heard of any of those except for Lupin the 3rd. This like a completely different level.

Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku are based on manga by Rumiko Takahashi who did InuYasha, UY was huge in Japan back in the 80's and it's popularity put everything else she's done to shame. While Maison Ikkoku is her masterpiece with a proper conclusion, check out the manga only 14/15 volumes depending on the addition. UY is also were Mamoru Oshii got his first success before he did Ghost in the shell.

Royal space force was the first film by the original Gainax before they did Nadia and Evangelion it was also the most expensive anime film ever made till Akira replaced it. While Gunbuster was the first thing Hideaki Anno ever directed and introduced the Gainax bounce, think of it as a precursor to Eva mixed with Gurren Lagann.

Bugglegum Crisis had character and mecha design by Kenichi Sonoda who did Gunsmith Cats and is heavily influenced by Blade Runner.

El Hazard is by the same studio that did Tenchi Muyo and the first 7 part ova of El hazard is the best thing they ever did (just ignore everything else called El Hazard).

Patlabor a great mecha series with the first 2 films also directed by Mamoru Oshii.

Dominion Tank Police based on a Masamune Shirow manga and very funny.

Glad to know someone on here had watched Burn Up Excess which I view that anime to be underrated. Ok I admit I originally watched it for the bewbs (I was in my teen when I first watched it) but I soon to grown to loved the cast in that show (heavy in debt Rio and the gun obsess Maya etc) and yeah Shirokuma Cafe was an aquired taste since the main comedy revolved on Japanese Kanji puns but that show was so relaxing to watched after I come back from work.

Also I can't believe I forgot about the anime Tiger and Bunny which I adored so much so I would had replace Persona 4 The Animation with that.

I like to think of Madoka as more of a high class oiran. It sounds a lot more respectable and classy than saying it's "whored out." : )

Certainly, I'm just lamenting the fact. It's my favorite show and all, but the sheer amount of superfluous material that's associated with it is a bit much. It's all such a blatant cash grab that it really bothers me.

Well, it's fucking working, goddammit!

 

[AdrianCeltigar]

Holy shit, Usagi Drop! Sooooo good! ;_;

Though let's pretend it all ended with the anime, and what happened after the timeskip in the manga never occured, okay?

Couldn't agree more. I read one chapter after the time-skip and gave up. I heard how it ended but I still won't let anything detract from the anime as a stand-alone story; it's too good to ruin.

8/9 because I actually haven't seen Natsume yet. Worth a watch, I suppose, since the rest of your list matches well with me.

Odd to find someone who enjoys a lot of the same anime as me - most share a favourite or two but otherwise like other stuff. Natsume was the last one I included out of a long list of 9th place contenders, but it's one of the longest series I've actually completed (second only to the Monogatari series and only by a couple episodes.) It's light-hearted and silly sometimes but it kept me watching, which is why it ended up winning the last slot.

3/9 It's good to see another fan of Gunslinger Girl around. Love that shit. Also, it's spelled "Nichijou". Love that show, too.

Speaking of Manga, might as well post a 3x3 for my favorite manga.

Spoiler

middle row: A message to Adolf, Cromartie Highschool, monster
Bottom row: 20th century boys, Girlfriends, Vinland Saga

Spoiler: Thank god for snap to grid mode on GIMP

Cookie for whoever can name them all without using Google.

 

[Candidus]

Spice and Wolf, Mouretsu Uchuu Kaizoku (AKA Bodacious Space Pirates), Accel World
Fate/Zero, The World God Only Knows, Isekai no Seishiki Monogatari (AKA Tenchi Muyo! War on Gemini)
Seitokai Yakuindomo, Aria the Animation, Sword Art Online

In return for your prolific attribution of numerical values based on viewingship matches to the lists of others, I shall attribute a numerical value to yours!

5/9
Fate/Zero, God Only Knows, Mouretsu Kaizoku, Seitokai Yakuindomo and SAO. Of which five I liked the latter three and disliked the first two. Fate was alright, but then went somewhere a bit goofy around the end, just like the first FMA anime (a wild Hitler appears).

I've been aware of Spice and Wolf for a while, but haven't gotten around to it. I had no knowledge of Seishiki Monogatari before seeing your 3x3, but I like the cover image... Will investigate.

3/9. Plenty of those shows bring back memories for me. I was a really big Naruto fan during highschool. Not so much anymore after all the shit that's happened. I read through all 100 or so chapters of Elfen Lied instead of studying for the AP Physics exam; totally worth it. I remember getting my copy of Welcome to the NHK on DVD when I was studying in London, only to realize that it was region locked; thanks internet for your lovely orange traffic cone. And of Course Hellsing Abridged, nuff said.

Uhhh...Dunno, End of Evangelion, Nausicaa, that show with Lancer in it, Fullmetal Alchemist, Baccano!, Ghost in the Shell: SAC, Madoka, Great Teacher Onizuka. How'd I do?

That's worth an M'n'M but you didn't come here for those did you?

Nausicaa is wrong, otherwise you're just missing the top left corner which is a film I should add. Thanks for giving it a go though n.n

 

[Squilookle]

I'm not even sure I have 9 anime that I like, but here goes...

Edit: Thank god for Miyazaki. Now guess away!
