    Kenshin is one of my favourites. However, the quality of everything past the Shishio arc (episode ~55? 65? I forget) is kind of meh because the story isn't written by the original author.

    The TV show was following the manga and the mangaka took a break, so there wasn't anything to animate. So they decided to write their own stories.
     
  2. How about Trigun, where the first compiled manga volume was barely released before the anime started? :smt043

    Macross is the be all and end all for me.

    For a classic Anime, id vote Project A-Ko, have it all on VHS, before the double parter, its classic stuff.

    Transformers Masterforce is also a trump for me.

  9. Just finished watching Air and Beck, and I think those have to go on my favorites list as well, excellent stories both (aside from Air's ambiguously confusing ending). They both had excellent music, and Air's animation style was the best I've seen in anime outside of GitS2. Beck had some really nice visuals, but the animation was really choppy at parts. Of course, having what seemed like half the series in hilariously done Engrish definately made up for it.

    Full Metal Alchemist (high quality art and animation, little filler, and good plot)
    Slayers (I own all the box sets, and most of the movies. For some reason I just find it very appealing)
    Haibane Renmei (Some might say its a boring series, but I felt it was very inspiring)
    Serial Experiments Lain (The most complex and difficult to understand story I have seen)
    Naruto (back before it was nothing but flashbacks)
    Spirited Away (Truly a masterpiece, one of the greatest animated films of all time imo)
    Bleach (I've been keeping up with this one for a while now, although I think the current plot is getting a bit long winded, its still one of the best i've seen).

    Their are plenty others I've liked alot (Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Rahxephon, eyc.), but those are my fav ones.

    Actualy, I prefer the dubbing in some animes, Spirited Away and Tenchi Muyo being examples.

    The only anime I don't hate:
    Hellsing
    Berserk
    Those DVD's that came with the .hack games
     
  19. Hell yes.
    HELL YES.

    It's really sad - a few weeks ago, I was watching about 5 different series, most of which all wrapped up at the same time leaving me with very little to watch now. :( Negima's still going steady, but the other two series' I'm into have extremely sporadic releases - I'm lucky to see a new School Rumble every three weeks. :angry

    Has anyone here seen the Tsukihime anime? Is it any good?
