Anime..

[charlotte49er]

Year ago, I used to love the "Space Battleship Yamato" (Also known as Star Blazers in the US.)

Probably too violent by today's TV.

Ok, I am a huge fan of anime, and nothing good has been released since Code Geass, which I thought was surprisingly good.

But Here is IMO the top 5 best Animes of all time

1, Cowboy Bebop

I liked Appleseed.

[Doc Holiday]

There's also Outlaw Star, which is definitely a classic, and definitely awesome. I've heard Blackblood Brothers is decent, as well. And I think it's really short, like, 12 eps.

Black blood brothers was decent but felt like it ended before it ever started

I'm glad someone else said Cowboy Bebop, I thought my favorite anime was the worst ever or I was the only one that watched the best one.

I'm of the opinion that anyone that says Cowboy Bebop isn't the best anime of all time needs to get they're head examined, it had everything, great action, outstanding story, it also had it's lighter and funnier moments, it's everything you want anything to be, and it was never cheesy or lame.

It's pure Anime Gold

That Jin-Roh one looks pretty sweet. The Brigade soldiers remind me a lot of the Killzone soldiers. Hah. Thanks for the suggestions.

I also, lied, the last anime I saw was Summer Wars, not so long ago. I used to keep up with Naruto and Bleach, but they started getting very repetitive and I stopped watching. I haven't the slightest Idea what's going on with that anymore. I read the manga more often than watching the series anyway

the Naruto and Bleach Animes are crap when compared to the Manga, the Animes have a ton of filler episodes

I stopped watching bleach like 1-2 years ago. If you go back and rewatch the beginning of the series. the first 20 or so episodes don't even hint at all the fugery that'll happen around episodes 80+. I dropped it after it went on another 95840594 episode filler.

As for Naruto. I check wikipedia to see if it's off fillers and then watch it. Otherwise it's not worth it. Majority of the time, even in non-fillers, it feels like an episode didn't really accomplish much alongside of a story. I've found it much easier to just wait it out and then binge like 20 episodes. Because then you can just skip over the 349038049238049238243098023498432094823 flashbacks and continue for the 10 minutes of story you get per episode. I tried reading the manga but meh. I'm in no rush to be caught up with it. The only time i typically end up reading a manga for something that I started as an Anime is when they stop making the anime or the anime is in hiatus like Initial D and Ippo.

See the thing is the Manga came first and the Anime came much later for both series, I've been reading Naruto for years and have tried to watch the anime a few times but just can't get over how much it sucks compared to the Manga, same thing for Bleach, except that you can stop reading or watching Bleach and pick it up 40 episodes or chapters later and it's still the same as it was before.

[Ivan The Awesome]

The last part I remember reading in the manga was when Naruto got the hang of that frog mode and was returning to the village. Can't remember what happens after that. Meh.

Anyone see High School of the Dead? I watched 12 eps and I don't think they have gone farther than that.

[Seamonk]

I think that Naruto anime catching up with the manga constantly fugs up the anime with the ridiculous filler arcs and awkward pacing and flashbacks. The general rule of thumb is that the manga is typically always better so I'm not surprised about that. I only choose anime over manga because I can usually watch while doing some work. Pro-Multitasking.

@Ivan, it's already past that part in the anime now. and for High School of the Dead. I heard it was good but hit or miss as well.

[Ivan The Awesome]

^ah, thanks.

Another good anime that I saw, was kinda Gory too, Gantz, don't know if anyone has mentioned this one.

Most of the ones all of you have mentioned I've seen. I know there's a new version of the Full Metal Alchemist anime series, has anyone seen this?

[Inimicus]

Another Cowboy Bebop fan here.

I think it gets left off of a lot of lists because everyone assumes its there. Ive honestly never talked to anyone who thought it was bad.

That's so true. Like I said, it's definitely very short. But, what's weird about, there's lots of anime that I've seen that is only ~12 episodes, and yet, Black Blood Brothers felt like it was done well before the others were.
