hmmmm, my favourite anime would have to be DragonBall Z, superb anime that gave me great inspiration for drawing cartoons (63 characters at the moment.)

My favourite manga would be close between Akira and Ninja Scroll though I'd probably go for Akira for its innovative animation technique that was used. That film helped me with my animation techniques.

Well I'll add Samurai Deeper Kyo as well ... for some reason I know a lot of people who absolutely love it and push me to love it but I absolutely hate it ... it starts quiet well over the first episodes but then it turns really boring in my opinion ...

Series: Neon Genesis Evangeleon. If you haven't seen this, watch it as soon as you can. I remember when I first found it (a flatmate at the time had borrowed it from someone he knew), I started watching it at about 9pm, I was still watching it when my flatmates got up for breakfast. First time I've ever watched an entire series in one sitting on my own, on my first viewing of a series.

Film: Spirited Away. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Akira is a close second though.

My friend has actually bought me the Neon Genesis Evangeleon series for my birthday.
Can't wait to get home and watch it all. I'm going to do what you suggested and try and do it in one sitting. Saw the last one already as they relesed it on its own at a video store near me.
2 more weeks and I get to watch it.
While here in Holland I have also found a version of Akira with very good voice overs. The one I have in Ireland is very corny.

Some of my other favourites are:
X
Gujin-Z
Black Jack

And the best of all time is "Fist of the north Star"
They made a film out of the Animated series too. Acting is very good in it and its not bad in all. Very rare though. I have only seen it on Bravo.

Dude, those movies rule... Have you seen Grave of the Fireflies? You have to, it's brilliant. Sad, too.

Manga-paddy

Why has Naruto only been said once? It's amazing! Plus spirited away is unreal, such a bizare story line.
X rules too. And I have to admit I'm a bit of a DBZ-head

Kazuma

This is a hard question. They don't show anime on TV here (madrid), with the exception of cable TV...

So I download it instead

But don't tell anyone
>.>
<.<

But my favourite animes are...s-CRY-ed, Naruto...Witch Hunter Robin....Hellsing, Trigun, Gantz...and a few more I can't think of...

My favourite manga are Maison Ikkoku, Lamu (Lum).....City Hunter, and about a billion others -_-'

fuu123

my favorite anime is samurai champloo

amacachi

samurai champloo is teh secks

Daelus

My favourite is 'Fruits Basket'. Mainly because it's the only one I've watched/read.

Graki_Khan

If the animation didn't go all f*ckways at the end of Samurai Champloo, I probably would have said that.

FLCL is my favourite tho, it has the most rewatching value me thinks.

favourite two favourite manga are
GTO and Gantz

Lou*

My Favourite Anime is Cardcaptors!!

But when I was younger I use to watch some cartoon can't think of the name but I got a picture of a little cute animal in it:




I loved the cartoon dose anyone know the name of it?

Nice.

Gantz is wonderful, although the recent chapters have been a bit weak.
Oh, with the exception of

the ten-titted Reika-impersonating alien...

I'm up to 21 on GTO. Really should get around to reading the rest, probably one of my favourite series.

Yeah, the Anime Ryo-ohki is from is Tenchi. Tenchi Muyo/Tenchi Universe or that new one that's out. Whichever, she's in them all.

Movie is fantastic for the hilarity, the dub at least. Oldskool dubbing where they RunAllTheWordsIntoEachOtherSoThatItSyncsUpOnScreenButSoundsReallySilly.

Fenian

Surprised no-one has mentioned "Nausicaa of the valley of the wind", the anime and the manga are equally excellent.

Rei-chan

Also Tsubasa Chronicle rules... I've seen a few of the eppisodes, and really like it. I think what Chobits did with having loads of their characters from different Anime together in one is deadly, but my friend just thinks it's lazy. It's cool seeing Li and Sakura older together.

Son Goku

My anger at this thread can only be expressed as follows:



Like a giant tank engine, you have all judged various animes and like a little boy they have no option but to cower behind a man in shorts.

vex

sorry i think this is in the wrong place but, are there any anime fans around athlone that are intrestead in sharing anime at lans ect?

Hopeless

the Gundam wing seriers are my favourite.

Well, most anime is made by, and directed at, male teenagers/twentysomethings.

Stands to reason that they'd customize their product appropriately
