Clephas... Shana doesnt belong to that list of greats...

[俊 (Jun)]

Lol personal opinion personal opinion. I liked Shana 4 years ago but I suppose standards change, I watched the 3rd season this year and honestly it was just ok.. too much kiddy drama. XD Seemed like a very typical shounen anime.

Can't really say I have a top 10, so I'll just put 10 anime I liked most from what I can remember. (Assuming I'd still like them even now if I were to watch them again)

Angel Beats!

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu

Clannad

Code Geass

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou

Death Note

Full Metal Panic!

Ga-Rei: Zero

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? (Only watched first season)

Mobile Suit Gundam 00

uhm.. uwaaa I feel bad for not including some others! Ah well here it goes then.. ww

Kanon

Rozen Maiden

Steins;Gate

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

Macross Frontier

Hmm.. this should do, I suppose, now what if I still tried to put them into a top 10?

... I CAN'T DO IT. They all are "good" in some way because of different reasons lol.

[Bolverk]

Okey, my list is of epic animes. I highly reccommend them, that being said. Many of them start of slow^^ Haven't you watched many of these, you haven't watched much (good) anime.

Out of the 200 anime I've watched, only 4 have made it to where I can say that they're anime I really like, interest me, or make me really think. My list/profile on MAL reflects this. Two of which were aired pretty recently... Most of my anime do not come from beyond 2006 unfortunately. I'm still a fairly young watcher.

Here they are (not in any particular order):

1. 
   
   
2. Clannad: The standard dem feels/I cried to this anime. The theme of family is too strong in this one. Not to mention the "hoops" (haha) Tomoya had to go through to get to where he is...
   
   
3. Haruhi Series (Especially the movie): While not particularly deep, I find the characters and their interactions fairly interesting. Kyon's monologues are always a delight to hear. The music, art, and animation are great as usual. It's odd to say that Haruhi was the anime that made me realize that I am but 1 out of billions of people. This would be my second Kyoto Animation anime, after Lucky Star. Needless to say, the movie only enhances my feelings about the series as a whole.
   
   
4. Hyouka: Typical Kyoto Animation. Good art, good animation, good music, good adaptation of a written work (as far as I can tell). It fully explains a mystery quite well and the presentation is wonderful(great work by a director who doesn't have any prior experience from looking at his list). Not only that, the character interaction and the motivation behind each mystery/"crime" committed is always interesting to see and discover. The characters, Oreki, Chitanda, Mayaka, and Satoshi are always going someplace in their development due to the mysteries that makes it really interesting. It's a darn shame that it ended.
   
   
5. Kokoro Connect: I don't care if the drama is forced or not, but it absolutely meshes well with the characters. The characters may have some extreme personality/personal issues, but not to the point where they can be considered unrealistic. The dialogue, interaction, comedy, psychology and philosophy of some of the characters, and even some of the camera work manage to make each episode interesting.
   

I also really really like these anime:

Time of Eve(Movie), Steins;Gate, and Mawaru Penguindrum.

Gee, like 3 of them have been animated by Kyoto Animation and the 4th was worked on by a few Kyoto Animation staff.

[meru]

1. Air

I adore the anime adaptation of Air. The animation is beautiful, the music is lovely, and of course the story is a real heartstring-puller.

2-10 in no particular order:

Highschool of the Dead

Chobits

Death Note

Welcome to the NHK!

School Days

Digimon Tamers (shut up!!)

Angel Beats!

Kanon

Ouran High School Host Club

It's a bit of a mix of genres, but in general I tend towards darker series, or those with strong, emotional drama (not annoying highschool drama).

Angel Beats! << not by KyoAni

Kanon

TheWingless screams like the Kyoto Animation/Key/Jun Maeda fanboy he is.

I mean, it's expected. the only problem I have with it is that the blu rays aren't really 720p.

Have you not watched Clannad or do you not feel it's up to par with Angel Beats! and Air?

[Rirai]

My top ten anime list (not in order, just from the top of my head)

1. Sword Art Online

2. Toradora

3. Clannad

4. Seitokai Yakuindomo

5. Angel Beats

6. Code Geass

7. Hayate no Gotoku

8. Hidamari Sketch

9. Gintama

10. Yuru Yuri

^___^

I actually gave up on Clannad half-way through, for some reason it just didn't grab me like the others. But I'm thinking I should definitely give it another go, maybe I was just in a bad mood or something..

[trhvmn]

Hmm... I don't have a top 10, but I do have a top n that I add to sometimes. It's n because the number of ranks in it is variable, and some of them are shared by more than one anime in particular.

Anyway, let's see.

1 Steins;Gate

2 Bakemonogatari

2 Nisemonogatari

4 Puella Magi Madoka Magica

5 Fate/zero

5 Ben-To

7 Nichijou

8 Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

9 Usagi Drop

1. FMA: Brotherhood

2. FLCL

3. Neon Genesis Evangelion

4. Baccano

5. K-ON

6. Ergo Proxy

7. Bakemonogatari

Oh Tay, I can recommend soooo many great anime.

You want recommendations? Ive been gripped by the "dark side" (aka anime) for probably longer then youve been alive.

I'll take that bet ; ). But yes! I need suggestions. As you can see from my list, I'm a big fan of slice-of-life sorts of anime. I'm willing to try anything, tho : ).

Edit: I have a crunchyroll subscription, if it helps, but have also learned a few other places to find anime. Suggestions of this nature are still welcome, tho, since people have different preferences on where to obtain "the goods"

Haha ! You made me laugh because it might be true (at least compared to me).

Your knowledge is absolute !
