Favorite anime?

[biloch]

Just wondering what everyones favorite anime series are? My favorite original series, or OVA would have to be gunbuster, which is regarded as the first OVA as a matter of fact. But I am a fan of the style, the mech combat, the cute girls , kind of like neon genesis evangelion, which is actually made by the same person come to think of it. gunbuster is a great series though.

Dude, that's kind of a tough one, 'cause I like a lot of different anime. I'll give you my top three:

Hellsing
Gungrave
Trigun

 

[Cythraul]

Haibane Renmei, which is the best anime series ever made in my humble opinion.

I'm not really a fan of mecha/action anime.

Warriors of the Wind

A heavily edited and English-dubbed version of the film was distributed and shown on HBO and released on video in the 1980s as Warriors of the Wind. According to Nausicaa.net, the voice actors and actresses were not even informed of the film's plotline and more than 30 minutes of footage was cut from the film. As a result, much of the film's narrative meaning was lost; much of the environmentalist themes were purged as was the main subplot about the Ohmu being altered to turn them into aggressive enemies. Most of the characters were renamed (Nausicaä became "Princess Zandra"). The cover for the VHS release featured a cadre of male characters, who are not part of the film, riding the ressurrected God Warrior — including a still-living Warrior shown briefly in a flashback.
Most fans of Nausicaä, along with Miyazaki himself, dislike that version; Miyazaki suggested that people should put it "out of their minds." [1] Studio Ghibli has asked fans to forget its existence, and has subsequently adopted a strict "no-edits" clause for future foreign releases of its films.

That "Warriors of the Wind"?


Mine would be Princess Mononoke, but I've hardly seen anything.

Yes, I saw that film when I was young, I remember watching the dubbed version of the film which I thought was great. Thanks for posting that because I never knew about all that stuff. I guess I will have to see the original version... Thats one of the reasons I hate dubbed movies, they always do a poor job, although I thought the dubbing on Warriors of the Wind was pretty good.

Yeah I thought Princess Mononoke was quite good too

You'd better see it... Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is total tits! A lot like Mononoke, but... well, they both fucking rule!

Runners up for me: Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro.

I've yet to see a single anime that wasn't produced by Studio Ghibli.

 

[Armageddon's Child]

Series:

Cowboy Bebop (and it ain't even close...)

Feature Film:

Akira (ditto)

 

[Cuiden-A-Los-Ninos]

That "Warriors of the Wind"?


Mine would be Princess Mononoke, but I've hardly seen anything.

fuck yeah

 

[Supertwister]

This is a tough one, so I'll try my best to round it down to a handful of series'. Fullmetal Alchemist, Azumanga Daioh and Neon Genesis Evangelion probably occupy the top spot with Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Excel Saga, Noir, Elfen Lied and xxxHOLiC (or indeed any CLAMP stuff) following on a bit behind.

 

[MURAI]

Series (both the comics and the anime):

Yu Yu Hakusho
Black Jack
Slam Dunk
Future Boy Conan Future Boy Conan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I recommend people to download episodes from Future Boy Conan. It's a TV series done by Miyazaki Hayao and its not known compared to his movies. If you're interested you can download it here:
