Best Anime ever?

[DizzyMerm!]

What do think is the best anime? Choose from anything, no restrictions here!

[Brianna Schreurs]

No doubt death note is the best. 

[Saninorochimaru]

The World God Only Knows is hands down my favorite

[Brianna V]

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Death Note or Code Geass. I don't think I can pick between them

[Rockccoli]

Ack, that's so difficult to answer!

However, I can narrow it down to Death Note or Fullmetal Alchemist... or Black Butler... or D.Gray-Man... or Code Geass... Oh man, this is so impossible!

Oh man, this is a tough one. Trigun is my most favorite anime ever, but some of that has to do with nostalgia and warm associations. Gintama is definitely creeping up there, too. But then there's Cowboy Bebop, and Miyazaki films, and Millenium Actress....in the end, I think it might depend on what genre of anime we're talking about, and whether we're talking about personal preference or in some kind of objective sense.

I think it's too hard to choose ONE best anime ever, because there is such a large variety to choose from. Some people would choose some sort of Romance anime while another might choose a mecha. 

For me, personally, it suppose it is a tie between Clannad: After Story, YuYu Hakusho, and FullMetal Alchemist: BROTHERHOOD. I don't see why Brotherhood's getting so much hate from fans. From what I've seen and know of the original anime, the plot of Brotherhood is superior. Eh, they both have they're good points. (Sorry, now I'm ranting...)

i would have to say its shared with black cat naruto and death note =^.^=

[Andreas von Sock]

Hmm, I haven't watched a lot of anime, but from what I've seen, I'd say Evangelion. And Elfen Lied right after.

Let's consult my anime list. I think MyAnimeList is awesome, before I found it I used to keep a text file with all the anime I watched; I recommend it to all anime fans.

 

Ok so these are the ones I've enjoyed the most:

• Death Note
• Ergo Proxy
• Eureka Seven
• Full Metal Panic!
• Ghost in the Shell
• Great Teacher Onizuka
• Kekkaishi
• Last Exile
• Sunabouzu/Desert Punk
• Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

 

At the moment, because I've just finished watching it, I would say Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was my favourite, but my favourite changes often. However there is a bit of variety up there with the different types of story and what is included in them so I encourage everyone to check out their pages and watch some of them, I doubt you will be disappointed.

Asking difficult questions, are we?

There are a number of series and films which I really like and each has their own quality, so I'm just going to drop a list.

• Freedom (or Freedom Project) is a 6-episode series which was made as a promotional project for some brand of noodles. It is set on Eden, a city on the far side of the moon, in a period after the population of Earth got wiped out because of some kind of climate shift. The animation itself is a bit meh, but the quality of the environment and fluff makes up for it.
• Dead Leaves is a 50 minute film which is incredibly fast paced and needs a few viewings to be understood very well. It's about two renegade criminals who've escaped from a prison / mining colony on the remaining shards of the moon. The awesome thing about this one is that it combines anime with a marvel-comic like drawing style, for instance at explosions you see the explosion plus screen-filling text going BOOM.
• Kuragehime (Jellyfish Princess) is very different and deals with a bunch of Otaku (nerd girls) living together in an apartment building (no boys allowed), one of whom is obsessed with jellyfish. One day she meets a hipster girl who helps her with something at a pet store because the owner is being an ass. Only this girl turns out to be a cross-dresser, which she finds out after s/he spent the night. Again nicely drawn and animated, but this one is particularly strong on the emotional side.
• Spirited Away. Well, we all know this one do we? I've only seen it a few days ago and it blew me away.
• Ouran High School Host Club. I've seen this one mentioned in this thread as well, a very funny one.
