TOPIC: Favorite Anime

Sup guys.

There was a thread ages ago where people went to tell everyone about their favorite anime. However, as I don't feel like Necroposting just yet, and because I wanted to see if any opinions changed (and of course if any of the newblets here watch anime), I've decided to "re-open" the thread.

Also, please keep an open mind on this thread. Only hate on people that can't explain why they like a certain anime (like, actual good reasons other than "its funny" or "because it has action".

Also, please keep in mind:


It'd be amazing if you could list up to 5 of your favorite anime, and why you like them so much.

As for my favorite anime, my top 5 would be

1. Bakemonogatari
For it's complex story and interesting arcs that keep you at the edge of your seat, wondering how the problem will be solved and what will happen to the main character(s) of the arc, accompanied by beautiful visuals and audio cues that change depending on the characters or situations.

2. Durarara!!
For the interesting characters and multiple small stories that all make up the big stories. With it's only problem being the slow start, this anime excels pretty well in everything else, especially considering it's from 2010, which was a pretty bad year for anime.

3. Katanagatari
For the life lessons it gives you while following the two main characters on their journey to collect 12 special swords. The chemistry between the two main characters is very good and they are a lot of fun to watch.

That epic ending though

Mushishi

Similar to Katanagatari, this anime gives you a life lesson every episode. However, unlike Katanagatari, which has 12 episodes, Mushishi currently has 45, with each episodes showing a completely new story following Ginko, a Mushi-shi.

Parasyte: the Maxim

In this anime, you follow a boy who almost gets taken over by a Parasyte, alien-like creatures that take over human brains and try to invade the society to secure food sources (humans). You follow Izumi as he slowly starts getting more and more involved with the dangerous parasites, where it's not just him that's in danger, but his family, friends and others. Also, did I tell you that this is an adaptation from a manga that was made 20 years ago? Yeah, let that sink in.


That's it for my list. If you have more questions about my Top 5, feel free to ask them. I'd like to hear yours too.

Agreed on psycho pass.
Second season was shit, I stopped watching at the half.

Tokyo Ghoul is getting really nice in season 2.

I literally stopped watching after the centipede appeared. He got rekt even in his strongest form, something that didn't happen in the manga, where he owned everybody. I highly suggest you pick up the manga and just drop the anime. It's overappreciated and not actually all that good.

boku no pico

Game of thrones.
Death Parade.

Game of Thrones isn't an anime.

Death Parade is alright, but it doesn't look like anything incredibly awesome to me. Still one of my favorites this season, though (which is partly because there aren't any really good series airing this season other than Kiseijuu, Durarara!!x2 and Nanatsu no Taizai).

Am I like the only one who doesn't watch Anime. I feel like it would basically ruin the rest of what I have of my so-called life.

You sound influenced by stereotypes.


I am genuinely disappointed that none of you guys can give good arguments as to why they are your favorite anime.

Its simply; Hodor.

I agree, he was a better character in the manga. Also I don't see why they missed the biology lesson where he snaps everyone bone in that guy's body (Forgot his name since I read the manga half a year ago or something).

Not going to state my reasons for top 5 because I don't have much other than I am easy to please and aside with Shakugan No Shana I could basically watch any anime and be content with myself haha.
1: Spongebob Squarepants - The art style is amazing and the voice actors really put an effort into their Japanese.
2: Durarara - The first season is good, still to watch the 2nd
3: Deathnote - Because it's gotta be here somewhere
4: Deadman Wonderland
5: Naruto - Only the first series since I haven't been bothered to watch the rest due to people spoiling most of it.

People spoiled the manga for me. I've only read parts of it so far, and I already like it more than the anime, so I'll be picking this up after catching up with Noragami.

I quite liked Shakugan no Shana. Might be because it was my first anime, but regardless it wasn't very bad. I can see why you dropped it, though.LazyBro wrote: I atleast expected serious answers. Atleast from you.LazyBro wrote: Season 2 takes everything that's good from DRRR!! and does it even better so far. Shame that there'll be 2 season breaks though.LazyBro wrote: I don't get why people like it so much. The only good thing I found about it were the characters (disregarding the characters from the second half)LazyBro wrote: This anime could've been a lot better if it had a sequel. For now, it's just a cliche anime with nothing that really sets it apart.LazyBro wrote: Filler. Consumes. All.

Way too many
