Series:
- Fullmetal Alchemist
- Dragonball Z (Havent seen the original Dragonball yet)
- Hajime No Ippo
- Samurai Champloo
- Naruto (untill they started with the fillers, which are godawfull and I stopped watching)

LD; You really should watch Fullmetal Alchemist. It's great all throughout the series (51 episodes)

Will do if you say so. I have heard about it before, but you also recommended "Hajime no Ippo" to me which has been awesome so far. Haven't finished it until now though which sucks.

Oh, I forgot about a special series:
Captain Tsubasa Road to 2002

Love that boy's story. We follow him since he starts off playing soccer in pre-school until he plays for Japan at the World Cup. It's also awesome how some of his worse opponents become his team members, his friends etc. and we get to see their stories and get to see why they became so "evil", which in the end they are not.

Now this is that I can contribute to, cuz I'm very cynical about anime shows - thus have a short list.

Shows:-
1. Neon Genesis Evangelion
2. Haibane Renmei
3. Kino's Journey
4. Serial Experiments Lain
5. Elfen Lied - It's far more than just "tits & guts". Featured a well-written commentary on human relations in the social context and on human nature itself. Also the tragic love story was quite heart-breaking.
6. Fullmetal Alchemist - I especially like the ethical cautionary tales.

In regards to anime films, I've probably only seen 11.
Movies:-
1. Patlabor 2
2. Patlabor 1
3. Ghost in the Shell
4. End of Evangelion
5. Perfect Blue
6. Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' at Heaven's Door
7. Akira
8. Howl's Moving Castle
9. Spirited Away
10. Steamboy

I know what you mean but there are a lot of good ones that are either serious or parodies. I can't stand 99% of it though and I can't stand 100% of anime fans, they all seem to treat it like a genre.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 13 Aug 2006, 10:31

Well, in fact it is a genre which again is divided into sub-genres (hentai etc. etc.).

Please add Guyver under series for me. Just remembered that it was my first ever anime, so in that respect it's very special to me.
