BEST ANIME EVER!

For me, it's 2x2 Shinobuden.

I just finished watching it. The last episode made be cry, but because of sadness so much, but just because I knew there was no more. Seriously, how can Genius things like this only go for 12 episodes and things like Naruto get HUNDREDS of episodes.

>>99

If that's what you want, maybe you should be reading a thread about that instead. I like my obscure shows as much as the next guy, but I know that they are a personal preference and can't really be called the "best anime ever" by the mere fact that they aren't actually very popular.

I think you're wanting http://4-ch.net/anime/kareha.pl/1149680272/.

>>101 Thanks for the link, and sorry for the rather pointlessly long post.

However I disagree entirely with you that just because an anime is not popular doesn't mean it cannot be a contender for best anime ever. Mainly because there is no proper definition of what the 'best' anime is, so this is really just a list of favourites, and something doesn't need to be well known to be your personal favourite. All I was saying is that I'm suprised that the majority of favourites mentioned are pretty well known, when usually a list of favourites is filled with unexpected and unusual things.

>>102

It's pretty clear that the "best" of anything will have to be picked with a fair amount of objectivity. Equating "best" with "favourite" makes the whole term pretty redundant.

>>104
With things like anime it is impossible to be objective and so I don't think it is unreasonable to equate best with favourite concerning when it comes to lists like these. Using the term best when describing an anime is inappropriate, and seeing as the OP said that 'Best Anime Ever!! for me it is 2x2 Shinobuden' implied this was more a list of favourites than an objective and impersonal best of list.

> With things like anime it is impossible to be objective

That's complete bullshit.

ei!

I personally love such anime where you can watch one episode witout having to watch the others and still have a complete (little) story. Ie, no (big) cliffhanger. Its especially nice if the eps are linked together by some main characters or overarching storyline.

That's why I'm totally in love with the Jigoku Shoujo series, which also has some very nice music to it, and overal very well animated. Of course I then also enjoyed Paranoia complex (shounen batto.) Many episode of Ghost in the shell S.A.C have similar standalone stories. Still, Jigoku Shoujo beats all.

Does anyone know some series that fit within this 'genre' (in fact, is it a genre and is there a name for it?)

i guess so.... but i just refuse to call myself a nerd. i am very social 'n shit... i dun like nerds too much either. but I have been into anime since i was about 5 (speed racer, tranzor Z, voltron and shit) i'm in my 30's now so it's been a hella long time.

but see the thing is this. since we have adopted the name Otaku, i actually appreciate t he fact that cooler peoples can be Otaku's too. cuz i dun consider myself a big nerd, i go out and shit with cute ass people. tho i know i put that long as definition there, i think what people think Otaku was, should change.

i'm indecisive about the whole damned thing. it does piss me off when people who have only watched 1 anime call themselves an Otaku, but on the other hand I dun like ugly ass people calling themselves an otaku just to belong to something and wear it as a badge of honor either.

actually I guess for once ya'll could help me out on this.

listens

why the fuck did this get posted here? SHIT!

One Piece

Why has nobody mentioned Takahata Isao yet??

Cowboy Bebop and berserk

GTO, Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Lupin, and El Hazard. I never get tired watching these series.

air

negro

Gankutsuou was pretty good...

>>116
Gankutsuou is the best, I must agree. ^_^

for me it would have to be Ouran Kokou Host Club...I wonder if it's going to get licensed in the US

Kokou! Kokouuuuuuu!!!!!!!!! Like some fucking parrot.

Nice to meet you!
I am japanece people.
I have a question.
Do you know Ayako-kawasumi?

RED GARDEN is so cool!
Takehito-koyasu is good actor.
LM.C is so cute.

HE TETE DE CUL

Full Metal Alchemist... no doubt

Paranoia Agent, perfect mood, nice and gloomy.

Kino's Journey(Kino no Tabi) is one of the best anime I've ever seen.
Pani Poni Dash is good too =D It gives you plenty of chances to go "W...T...F?"

>>119
I love Ouran Koukou Host Club as well ^_^
I heard it was getting licensed as an anime, but I haven't heard by who. I'm curious though. <3 for Kasanoda (Bossa Nova)

It's hard to compare all anime series. They are in different types.
To me, I like Eureka seveN(2005)

>>128

Stop posting in bold, you fucking retard.

>>130
And it's fuckers like you that give girls a bad name.

Funny, another total dumbass I know goes by the name Aeris...

Yeah, Aerith is just Aeris with a gay lisp.

Code geass is okay, Kaze no stigma is so-so, Heroic age is pretty cool, Hayate no gotoku bores me... bleh, i can go on if i wanted to. but, i don't like to write too much...

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni is pretty far up there on my list. Along with titles like Air, Elfen Lied, Shippuuden, Death Note, and Fate Stay Night.

it's hard to decide what i think the 'best' anime ever would be... ummm...

maybe mushishi or the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya?

Musashi Gundou. 'Nuff said.

>>136

I forgot to put Haruhi on there. and Lucky Star too.

>>1 asked for the "best anime ever", not the "best anime of the last few seasons", people.

Black Jack.

a jap's otaku opinion
"greatly anime"
FLCL
Gunbuster
cowboy bebop
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
magic users club
Princess Tutu
Neon Genesis EVANGELION
Samurai Champloo

"go die ever fuckin anime"
gundam seed
Code Geass

>>141

I mostly agree with that list, except that I didn't think Magic Users Club was as good as Princess Tutu. Also, Samurai Champloo tried too hard.

Oh, and Code Geass is good for a laugh.

Kyou kara maou!!

It was a good anime!! loved it!!^-^

Gundam 08 shotai !

That...I was able to cry so as to cry in all...（*´ω｀*）

Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Now and Then, Here and There
Vision of Escaflowne

Alphabetical order.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

i had many "favourit" Animes over some years. A few remained in that topspot.

At the moment theres only Code Geass left...

GaoGaiGar

I think Higurashi is the best anime ever so that's why you should vote for Rena in Saimoe 2007

One Piece most sure!!!

>>151
lol Kids

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Aika (And R-16)
Hayate no Gotoku!
Pani Poni dash!

higurashi season 1 and 2
lucky star
Evangelion (excellent character study. eoe ruined it)
Clannad
Kanon
Nadia
FLCL (I liked the story of maturity and the mixing of the excellent rock music)

I actually kind of like Bleach. People say it's Dragonball Z with swords, but that is pretty awesome if you think about it. Also tits

It's not DBZ with swords, it's DBZ with shinigami. Big difference.

Lucky star.
OK, this anime is for faggots, but was hilarious and not boring like Sketch book and others.
I loved konata but I faps to Miwikipedia.

Gundam seed destiny
That was one of the first anime what I saw after backing to Brazil.
I really gave thanks to god when I saw someone being killed in anime.
The fact of someone dies in there was sufficient for me.

Gundam00
It didnt ended but the story is good.(and boobs too.)

Akagi
I didnt understand the game but the atmosphere....
Kaiji is...too loser for that atmosphere...

Higurashi is my pick

FLCL
Akira
Evangelion
Hellsing
Fruits Basket

Kite (I think thats what it was called)

I only discovered anime in January, so I'd better not try and nominate a BEST EVER, but would like to list in order of loveliness those of which I've watched more than a couple of episodes so far:

1. Ichigo Mashimaro, all 12 eps x 6 times
2. Card Captor Sakura, both series and both movies
3. Kodomo no Jikan, OVA + 7 eps (+ 32 manga) so far
4. Pita Ten, all 26 eps (+ 50% manga)
5. Lucky Star, 8 eps so far
6. Pani Poni Dash, 6 eps so far
7. Hidemari Sketch, all 12 eps x 2 times
8. Moetan, 5 eps, including 2 without subs so I had to read the 'body language'
9. Chobits, all however many eps
10. Tokyo Mew Mew, all 52 eps
11. PGSM, 24 eps so far
12. Sailor Moon, 22 eps so far
13. Kanon 2006, 13 eps so far

I think I would probably like Kanon more if I managed to focus more on the plot and less on the loli when watching anime, but I always think Ichigo will be top of my list

D.Gray-Man
Chobits
Mahou Negima Sensei
Ouran Host Club
One Piece

>>168
Didn't take long for image boards to corrupt you.

170 posts and not a single mention of Marimite. Wtf is this shit.

Allow me to do this, for all of the fans who seem to be MIA. Maria-sama ga Miteru.

>>170 I had a head start

Marimite is great for learning keigo but not much else.

One Piece , I like the character's humor and the story is great to get into.

Gunslinger Girl

Fucking can't wait until the next season.

I enjoyed Tegen Toppa on so many levels. No other show I've seen gave me that kind of sensation.

Gunslinger Girl gave me a hard-on on several occasions. I can't wait for the second season either.
