To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

Taichi and Arata are both real cool but Taichi is doomed, yall.
Of course he is. Chihaya's gonna marry half of a Karuta deck (the other half is Shinobu's).

I love every Chihaya kissing Taichi post because it's been pretty obvious from the start that it's not going to happen. It's like when people rooted for the werewolf in vampire romance series Twilight, you might be right on some level but you're also doomed from the start.

Unlike the characters in twilight, the great characters in Chihayafuru will amount to something

Kuwabara is awesome because he keeps trying despite the monumental disadvantage he's always at. He always comes close even if he doesn't outright win. Plus, the Seaman fight was a great victory for him.

While it's somewhat of a rote subject, I'd actually be interested to know what everyone in the thread's favorite anime are.

Let's go with our top ten for maximum clickbait points. Order doesn't matter unless you want it to.

End of Eva, Mind Game, Ping Pong, Little Witch Academia, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Serial Experiments Lain, Haibane Renmei, 3/4ths of Nadia...

and yeah, Yu Yu Hakusho.

Off hand, without putting any major thought into it, I'd say Hellsing (Ultimate), JJBA, YuYu Hakusho, G Gundam, Dragon Ball Z, Cyborg 009, Persona 4, and Outlaw Star. Maaaaybe the original Yu Gi Oh(good, bad, such terms are meaningless, it's a blast to watch).

  1. Giant Robo
  2. Legend of the Galactic Heroes
  3. Baccano!
  4. Millennium Actress
  5. Cowboy Bebop
  6. Ouran High School Host Club
  7. Samurai Champloo
  8. Redline
  9. FLCL
  10. Paranoia Agent
Those last two shift from time to time but the rest is fairly consistent.

Steins;Gate
Madoka Magica
The Tatami Galaxy
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Cowboy Bebop
Ouran High School
Full Metal Panic? fumoffu
The Daily Lives of High School Boys
Chihayafuru
Baccano

Gintama is stuck at 11 unfortunately.

I kinda want Dragon Ball on that list somewhere. I always liked the original series way more than Z. I just like Hakusho a lot more than Dragon Ball.

I'm extremely critical of the franchise, especially with how it handled everyone not named Goku, but I can't help it. I love it, man. It's practically a part of who I am, seared into the fabric of my being.

There's so many anime that I like that after five it's too hard to decide. It's really hard to rank them, too, I like them all for their own reasons.

1. Giant Robo
2. Big O
2. Mind Game
2. Galaxy Express 999 Film Duology
2. Ashita no Joe

I can't think of a full list (probably because I'm lazy and haven't seen that many series), but Gintama and Nichibros are great for rewatches. Cardcaptor Sakura is my go-to nostalgia show (though the last third is eeehhh).

I doubt I'll ever watch it again, but coming years off the manga, I thought the Death Note anime was very well done.

Z started out great and ended up OK (up until the end of the cell saga) but I think Dragon Ball is better in every way.

I'm still in the first tournament arc where they introduce Krillin.

I'd have made more progress but Hulu sucks for watching anime.
