Favourite Anime

I know everyone has a favourite anime, maybe not one or two, but a whole list. So tell everyone your favourite and why.

=================================================================

For me, it has to be the Full Metal Panic! series (+Fumoffu! and TSR). It's because it has everything I want in an anime; action, comedy, drama, romance and mecha and it balances it out quite well. Also, the characters and their development are great. I'm still hoping that KyoAni picks it up again and do the remaining books.

It's the ONLY anime I've watched more than 5x.

Clannad. It is touching, beautiful, solid character back stories. I shed manly tears watching clannad XD.

Bleach - my all time favorite
Code Geass and R2.
Especially R2 - the one and only show that made me sit infront of my com on sundays 5pm to search for the earliest raw version to watch. XD

Death Note was great, because of the idea and the great story.
The Characters were all individual and it was very exciting till the end.

Not sure if I have any all-time favourite. Sola was good and clean; both seasons of ef were good and not really a degradation of the VN; Nanoha trilogy was a good series; and there were some other romance series I favoured like Clannad and H2O. However, I can't really determine if I have just one or two all-time favourites.

Clannad, it has the most interesting cast of characters, beautiful art, and the most touching story I've ever encountered.

The recent anime hasn't been as good as the previous years anime.. sigh..

I would say have said Clannad, but its actually a visual novel, So i won't say that.

Hmm... Maybe Rurouni Kenshin. Yeah. Probably that.

Uhh..No, Clannad IS an anime. It's an anime adaptation of a Visual Novel so it counts as an anime. If you count it as a VN, then Rorouni Kenshin would be a manga instead and the only true animes will be: TTGL, Evangelion and such who are originally anime then adapted into another format.

My Favourite Anime....

*Looks at own Avatar, closes eyes and smiles*

The Nanoha Series. ^_^

As for why....

The characters' personalities as well as the world itself is interesting. The world itself when first presented felt like a very nice alternative and peaceful world. The world later takes on sinister turns as well. Civil wars, mass murders, child soldiers...

Rather than the staple of Black and White that is common place for the genre, it took on the shades of grey instead.

Friendship in the series is the main focus and the characters are not infallible. They too have bore internal conflicts as the series continued. However that did not disintegrate into a whole mess but relied a lot more on others emotionally. They too know that they are not invincible as well. A point made a few times in the series. They soldiered on.. but the endearing trait about them is that they will continue to do their best but also with the realization sometimes doing their best may just not be enough and hard as it may... to some extent be able to let go.

For me, this is more than enough ^_^
