Favorite Anime

What is your fav anime? Do you love anime or loathe it? Japanese Animation or Anime for short. Some populart anime include:
Pokemon
Dragonball Z
Gundum Wing
Cowboy Bebop

Whats your ideas of these really really popular cartoons?

Akira - The one and and only!

Excel Saga is pretty damn funny. The entire show is insane. I like the Emergency Food Source/Dog, Menchi (who also howls out the ending credits), and the eternally unlucky migrant worker, Pedro, who's line "Why would you do that to Pedro?" always makes me crack up. It's like anime for South Park fans.

I've gotta go with Sailor Moon (it's my kid's favorite, too), but only the R and S series. Don't care much for the SuperS stuff.

I suppose really there has to be at least three top ones which are in no particular order but are;

Akira, Fist of the North Star and Ghost in the Shell but there are plenty of others that I like a lot and have in my collection.......but they are generally inferior in some way to these three.

Wait--isn't this thread about TV anime? Or were these three serieses (series's? serii? ) at some point and I didn't know about it?

Actually, my all time favorite anime has to be Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's a weird mix of the whole giant robot genre, Ultra-Man, Twin Peaks, The X-Files, 1990's culture, art movies, theology, Jewish mythology, and blasphemy. It's mind blowing stuff, not for those who like everything neatly wrapped up or even explained to them. The first movie just came out, which is the alternate ending to the tv series, which clears up a lot of the series loose ends. If this wasn't so graphically violent at points, they should run the whole series on Sci-Fi channel or even MTV, where it would fit in pretty well.

Evangelion is pretty cool, I agree. My favorites right now are:

Project A-Ko
Castle of Cagliostro
Metropolis
Akira
Perfect Blue
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Gunsmith Cats
Cowboy Bebop
Serial Experiments Lain
Excel Saga
Ranma 1/2
Tenchi Muyo

can you tell I like Anime? Jeez. I watch way too much

New good show:

Adventures of the Mini-Goddesses. This is a weird, weird, weird spinoff from Oh my Goddess (or Ah my Goddess) where the shows characters shrink down to tiny size to help a rat with his problems, but mostly end up making them worse....It's bizzarre, and I don't even know why I find it so hilarious.

I love Anime. It is an undervalued movie medium.

I've seen and loved ....

Guyver: Bio-booster Armour
A bloody (but mild compared to other anime) series that has spawned an American cheap-S**t mini movie franchise. Mark Hamil was in the first one made. Kooky fun but nothing magnificent. But the Japanese anime is great and dark. However Mizuki a character in it deserves to be shot, the Dawn of 'Buffy' style, only much worse.

Akira
The movie and I've read part of the manga series the film was taken from. Waiting eagerly to get hold of the other parts.

That's just two, one series and one film, I've seen lots more.

I haven't seen much in the way of Anime lately,or at least as much as I used too, having seen most of what I have in my early teens.

I have read and heard good things of Princess Mononoko, which I'm considering getting hold of.

I need to get my Anime groove thing going again.
