It's hard to believe the all time greatest anime is CGI yaoibait but it is.

DBZ for nostalgia, Kill la Kill for pure enjoyment, Darker Than Black for what I believe delivers most as a season.

Akuma No Riddle, ending is bullshit and there wasn't enough episodes to get a good amount of screentime for every character

I feel I watched a little too many to handpick a single one without delving into autistic selection by genre, tone, artstyle, etc., they're simply too different

Unironically Legend of the Galactic heroes. I don’t fucking care if it’s pseudointellectual or not the deepest dive into realpolitik or the millions of beautiful pieces that make up a working society and economy. It’s still a super fun story about a clash of civilizations and high level ideas without feeling pretentious. It just reminds me of Babylon 5 and Star Trek in a way that not a lot of other media outside of books do.

Besides that, I fucking love Area 88 and an always on the lookout for any fighter aircraft anime. I don’t despise mechs but I sure as hell hate how much more common they are compared to planes (which are way way cooler machines anyway).

I coulda sworn there was some line that implied either scanty or kneesocks... well whatever I guess. Still 10/10 taste, what a great show. One of the first shows I watched with my SO when we were just getting into anime in college. Followed it up with Tatami Galaxy, which is probably my own overall GOAT anime.

Eureka Seven, I've watched the English Dub of episode 26 more times than any other piece of media.

Why is that, user? I’ve never bothered watching the show since I saw Gurren Lagann first and heard it was just a worse version of TTGL.

NGE still for me, but it's debatable. I also really like TTGL, Shinsekai Yori and a few more.

Evangelion is the only one I consistently watch every year

Eva is also in my top 5, and I have well over 1000 completed. You're just one of the many hipster scum on Yea Forums who thinks that if you watch a lot of shows you're somehow obligated to pick your favorites from the more obscure ones instead of the classics. Anyone who thinks Eva isn't a reasonable choice for a favorite is a moron whose further opinions about anime can be disregarded. Get fucked.

wow that animation sucks

Eureka Seven, easily.
I can't name a series that clicked as hard as E7 in my entire life. Everything from the characters to the setting just had me completely hooked. Sure it's flawed as hell, some things aren't ever explained, Dewey would've been an actual threat if the ageha squad weren't literal retarded ten year olds, Eureka's kids can get REALLY annoying, and lets not even mention how obnoxious Renton is before he gets the cold dick of reality slapped onto his face, but other than that I absolutely adore it
And Eureka is still easily my favorite female lead of all time, I just wish they focused on both her and Renton equally right off the bat, as opposed to making her the actual deuteragonist half-way into the show, because Renton isn't exactly who I'd call a tolerable character at the start, some doses of someone who isn't utterly obnoxious would really help ease the blow.

After all these years, it's still Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon.
Other things did come close, but as a whole, Sailor Moon is as close to perfection as a 200-episode-anime can be. It has a great balance of slice-of-life, action, comedy, cute girls, cute MotD-girls, well-written characters (even one-off side characters!), very clear thematic structure that's fully supported by the narrative, a great (and very distinct) visual style, great cinematography, great direction, great OST.

HOW FAR TO PARADISE?
Yeah, Area 88 is actually a gorgeous show as the original OVA. It was on amazon prime a while back but only the dub iirc.

As far as recent aircraft anime go, Kotobuki was kind of moeshit but it was great too. The CG looks kinda crap but after the first few episodes where they mixed CG and 2D and it looked like barf the series really took off. Girly Air Force was pedestrian harem shenanigans which I’m usually fine with, but there wasn’t enough actual air combat action for my taste.

Why can't you go back to /r/anime? No one wants to read dub posts like these, seriously.

And it’s not quite as recent, but Sento Yousei Yukikaze is also excellent. It’s a pretty good show that doesn’t hold your hand in the slightest plotwise and has excellent air combat action scenes. This is an unsubtle recommendation, Yukikaze is my waifu and more people should watch her show.

Haibane Renmei to be completely honest. I love rewatching it every so often and discussing it as well. I don't really get judged too often for obvious reasons, only for it being "pretentious" and popular on Yea Forums. I have discovered it on my own long ago and didn't even know it was critically aclaimed until I came here.

Man, my bf bought the whole series on dvd and has been aggressively shilling it for years. I’ve never really been interested though, it seems incredibly boring if you’re not into it, like it will be a long slog to get all the interesting details because of the masterful organic way they’re presented. Or something.

Boondocks

Had me until the dub, way to ruin your own good taste.

Milky Holmes... third season

Well, I've heard people say the beginning is boring. To appreciate it, I guess you need to be curious about the world, love mysteries and being able to appreciate the atmosphere. I was immediately interested in what are the Haibane, what is the world they find themselves in, how did they end up there. I like analyzing things, connecting the dots and making my own theories.
I'd say give it a try, because the main story is easy to get, and it's a very relatable one - about finding your own place in the world, about overcoming your personal flaws, about redemption. But it offers great depth and complexity for anyone who wants to have all their questions answered.

Durarara

I don't have a very exciting answer, just the original Mobile Suit Gundam. It was Zeta for a long time but I came back around and decided I preferred the original.

Sampling bias. I usually don't participate in the shitflinging contests.
Chances are, some people in this thread are like that too.

Not knowing this detail beforehand definitely makes the final episode more impactful, but I don't think it's that significant to enjoy it overall. I guess it isn't a show for everyone, I could ignore all the objective qualities and it would still probably be one of my favorites, because it really connected with me on an emotional level. How well it sits with you emotionally really varies from one person to another.
How far did you get anyway?

Drifters was a fucking treat and I desire more of it.
As for absolute favorite I can never decide. Its a toss up with G Gundam, Garo The Animation, Symphogear season 1, and Asura's Wrath. Additionally I have a soft spot the Goblin Slayer manga.

why the fuck you guys keep spoiling shows for me outside their threads
aaaargh

I don't understand what's so bad about spoilers. Unless it's something that completely changes your viewing experience, like for example, the identity of the murderer, I don't really care. It's the journey that is usually important, not the destination.

Not him, but I think that what you know going into something heavily colours your experience

Been watching anime since the 90s, so top 3 personal choice by decades
90s - Cowboy Bebop, NGE, Utena
00s - FLCL, Hoshi no Koe, Honey and Clover
10s - AnoHana, Gundam Thunderbolt, Yuri on Ice

I guess I'm just less sensitive about it. I still don't know when it happens, why it happens, or even if it happens at all, because the spoiler might just as well be false. There definitely are spoilers that would change my experience, but for me, it's a small minority of those.

Yup. I wrote 70 pages about this in my senior year of college for Lit Theory (a Marxist analysis—the Haibane live in a kind of "Marxist paradise" you can read him as assuming existed before the human population became too large), got a special award from the department for the project, and didn't even feel like I scratched the surface of the stuff I wanted to say about Haibane Renmei. (I took the Marxist angle because it was the least interesting, and I needed to keep my page count down.) The show distills the experience of being birth, life, and death into a single mysterious whole.

Mock away if you wish, but know that people like me don't like the show because we're pretentious—we just really, really like it.

Attached: haibane001.jpg (660x700, 90K)

It does. But some studies imply that it actually increases your enjoyment of a narrative instead of diminishing it, as people would usually assume. (At least when it comes to short stories. The study I'm thinking of compared readers who had been given summaries before reading the actual stories to those who went into it without any knowledge. And while their rating of enjoyment was highly subjective, the trend went in favour of having been "spoiled".)

>write a paper about a Marxist paradise
>get a special award
This man knows how to play the game

>increases your enjoyment
That's up for me to decide though. If I want to get spoiled, I can do that, but I can't unspoil it.

That's fair, I just think a degree of consideration for people who think differently should be held by both parties. Use spoiler tags when talking about critical plot points, but also don't be upset if a show that's many years old is spoiled for you unintentionally. It's better for everyone

Yosuga no Sora

>marxist paradise
Now I might reconsider liking the show. Nah, all jokes aside, it's actually an interesting thought and a perspective I didn't consider. I honestly have no trouble believing you could write an award-winning essay on it. It's great people are still discussing this show and I look forward to seeing you in one of the threads.

wolfs rain
maybe its just because of when i watched, but it really hit home at the time

this is something which changes your viewing experience

Agree. Personally I try to be considerate and I'm not the one who usually posts spoilers.

I'd have to say Initial D. Because up to 3rd Stage, it's one of the greatest works of fiction about car culture ever made. Only Two Lane Blacktop comes close to capturing the loneliness and isolation of dedicating yourself to driving, and that movie didn't have any Eurobeat.

>That's up for me to decide though.
Sure. But you can't decide, because you'll only ever have one experience of a thing: Spoiled OR unspoiled. You can't ever directly measure them against one another.
The study did suggest that in the general case, people will enjoy something more if they have read spoilers.

>If I want to get spoiled
That's the thing though: What you want (or rather think you want) might not be what gives you the best experience.
Of course, forcing spoilers on you is not something anyone should do. But you could ponder whether, when it has already happened (like in here), that might actually not be too bad - or even beneficial.

gonna sound like a meme but genuinely Ping Pong
im not even an elitist, i didnt know it was well-regarded until way after id seen it and liked it. its just so tight in how it tells its story and expands on all the characters, and manages to make me care so much that the climax moments in the last few episodes hit so hard

What made you dislike it? I'm always interested in hearing other people's perspectives.

It was mostly a meme, the show is excellent. I hate marxism almost as much as I hate fascism though.

>What you want (or rather think you want) might not be what gives you the best experience
Well maybe I don't want the best experience. Maybe I want the purest experience, the original one.

Oh, I knew that marxism was a joke, but I thought the dislike was genuine, sorry about that. I can definitely agree with you on the second part of your post.

Fair point. Even though most people probably would want the best for themselves.

In theory, but it looks like it never ends well. It's quite similar to communism in that regard. If I had to choose, I would pick fascism over communism, but I'd rather have neither.

i know this thread isnt for judging, but you have shit taste. those arent even flawed gems, theyre just bad

nice choice, its a lot of fun even if the robot powers go way off the rails. the ending was nice too

OPM, its just such a good mix of comedy and action. way wittier than any straight comedy anime but still lets you enjoy those cool moments.
well, in S1 anyway.

why the fuck would you ever pick fascism over communism

fascism actually works.

It doesn't even successfully keep the elites in power. That's a hell of a failure if ever there was one.

Too many reasons and I don't really want to derail this thread. Let's say it's more about truly hating communism than liking fascism, I already said I prefer neither. I come from a post-communist country, by the way.

Ah, you niglets always come from a post-communist country.

That's not even remotely true, as ever there's a bunch of socialist movements in developing countries. A lot have moved on from marxist-leninism or whatever bullshit the Sovs were pushing, though, mostly because they no longer receive AKs for nodding their heads and drinking the vodka.
Nah, it's just myopia. You hate what you know, and don't know shit about what you don't know. That's why people like you hate communism above all else, even though it's not different to any other grand narrative.

Unironically Evangelion. Nearly everything about it is perfect. Great kaiju designs, kick-ass mechs, very relatable characters (to me at least) - especially Shinji, still looks pretty good (I honestly don't think they'll ever make a mecha show as good looking as those of the pre-CG era ever again), mysticism that appeals to pseuds like me and a decent story to tie it all together. Also has the best OP ever made. There's a hundred things that would make it even better, but overall it's easily my favourite series.

I'm very interested in politics and have been frequenting and regualrly discussing this on multiple dedicated forums including /pol/ for many years. I simply recognize it has nothing to do on Yea Forums and definitely doesn't belong in this particular thread. I already said I don't want to derail, so this shall be my last reply.

I do like Cowboy Bebop too. I agree that CB has a better OP. I think SC's ending is honestly the best song from either show though.

It's a great anime but I'd only give it an 8/10 myself, so I get why he'd say there are some flaws.

My ALL TIME fave is Stardust Crusaders. The all time greatest cast of bros, and my all time favourite villain in Dio. He just DRIPS charisma, and the build up to him was fucking outstanding, until they finally reveal The World.

Shoutout to LOGH though. Never seen a show like that

What makes evangelion and gurren lagann such great mecha shows is that they are not mecha shows, not really.
Most mecha is bad panderign to very small and dying group of consumers ready to spend shitton of cash on their hobby. I'd take full metal panic over gundamshit.

Brigadoon is the greatest anime ever made. Oozes with passion and creativity, you can tell that the studio enjoyed what they were doing. One of the few 'looks like a children's show but it's actually fucked up' anime that's genuinely great outside of shock value. There'll never be anything like it ever again.

Lain or Katanagatari, cloe toss-up

Yea quotes like this from the creators really confirm how pseudo-intellectual Eva is desu.

"Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool."

It's quite disappointing just how small the actual community of people that have attempted to think about Lain's themes are. Even people that supposedly enjoy the show will often just shutdown when you try and talk about its ideas. I really don't think it's that out of reach...

You lost to the commies, who didn’t even beat liberalism. And your white supremacist movements these days are retarded.
Public ownership of the means of production almost universally means the government administrating the economy. Because of the economic calculation problem, this makes it essentially impossible to plan an economy. Add to this the fact that you can’t know consumer preferences ahead of time and it becomes clear why socialism fails on its own merits. You don’t even have to look at the negative impacts of overcentralized power to see why, nor do you have to look at how it fails on any scale but the very smallest in reality.

Also the labor theory of value is a joke.
08th MS will always be my favorite gundam. Grunts are always cooler.

Konosuba

Same here unironically. A part of me wishes I could blame Gainax for it but it's not such a clear-cut issue.

Nobody talks about Lain because it lacks humanity and characters that people can relate to. The way it explores its themes is shallow compared to actual philosophical treatises on those subjects, so in essence it's just an arthouse show for when you want something pretty to look at. This is not a problem for Evangelion because all its lore and kabbalistic symbolism is just there to support the emotional conflict and exploration of its characters. Which is a way deeper - sorry for using this buzzword - topic than anything Lain offers desu.

Also, nothing can compete with mecha. Giant robots are just too cool.

The money shots at the end of Nadia made slogging through Africa worth it.

All the more reason why I blame Gainax. They had outstanding talent and wasted a lot of it into remaking Yamato, Gundam or Getter with different fancy names. Gunbuster is probably a lot less polished, but it introduced a different perspective and nuance that mecha did not have up until that point: the idea that you gotta work hard and train to be good at what you want to be good at.

Does anyone like AGK for non-femdom reasons?

As much as people always like to bring up how much Gurren Lagann took from Getter Robo I think the main reason I like Gurren Lagann more is how much better the characters are. Like don't get me wrong the Getter boys are cool dudes but I never really thought any of them were especially interesting or fun to watch outside of when they're massacring giant dinosaurs or something. The side characters don't usually amount to much either outside of like Texas Mack. All that being said Getter is still pretty rad, especially Go and the two series after that where the story gets way more interesting and Ishikawa's art hits god-level status.

Which one? There are two. AgK Zero was pretty great. I found it in large parts more enjoyable than the main manga.

I mean I get that it was basically one giant advert for pizza. but I really like the idea of an alt universe where mary queen of scots succeeded and elizabeth fled to america to make a brand new britain.

The bland, one-note characters exist SOLELY to aggressively try to illicit sympathy from the audience for their allotted arc, die, and make everyone sad.

Except they aren't. Not anymore than in your average manga. They all have their motivations and moral codes, and the narrative spends most of its time going into those. People just hate it for being "edgy", or because their favourite (Esdese) didn't win.
I'm not even that big a fan, but it was a solid piece of entertainment that gets far more flak than most other manga or anime (that generally have way worse writing).

the visual direction sucks, the soundtrack sucks, the worldbuilding is incomprehensible dribble. The main character has no agency whatsoever and is only a field camera for the audience to watch the plot unfold.

>So it's an average manga then?
No, it's slightly above average. It does a lot of things right and very little wrong. And it does have nice visuals as well.
A good number of very popular manga are much worse in both regards. (Not naming any here, as this thread should mainly be positive, but the obvious examples are obvious.)

Gundam 00

I really can't pick one favorite, but my "fuck you i liked it" is definitely Samurai 7

It was incredibly shallow. So much so that I was too annoyed by the blatantly choreographed “make the audience sad” parts to actually be sad about them. Sadness and tragedy come, in large part, from a tragic situation that was unexpected or avoidable. In AGK, every tragic event was both predictable and unavoidable.

>cites zero evidence
Opinion discarded

I kinda agree with your statement that it lacks characters people can relate to but I think that will only grow more untrue as the 21st century progresses. The main reason people can't relate to characters in Lain is because it talks about issues and personalities that are not seen often in the present but will only become more prevalent in the future. As society becomes more and more technologically centered Lain becomes more and more relevant. If it was released in like 2025 it would be worshiped (moreso than it is today). I personally connected with many of the characters in Lain to an extreme degree. (Taro is underrated af)

Alright. I don't agree with you as I enjoyed most parts of the show (especially the soundtrack and the worldbuilding), but your opinion is more valid than "hurr durr gay kiss".

The evidence is AGK you retard. It behaves the same as the Walking Dead. Characters linger in the background until, at one point, they are given lots of attention, a backstory, and are then promptly killed. Anyone with a double digit IQ could predict this pattern, because the mangaka made no attempt to hide it.

This. Also
>Every mission they split up or go in understrength
I just knew everyone was going to die when I figured out how the model worked. At that point I stopped caring about the characters. The show is edgy trash, though I've heard the manga is way better.

Pure bullshit. You obviously went into it trying to find flaws and still had to insert them yourself.
Of course you don't care for the characters if you just read it to shitpost about it on imageboards.

>Like?
Every member of Night Raid going on a mission with MC and then getting martyred until literally every single member save for 1 (2 technically counting the boss, but she wasn’t really a combatant) was brutally murdered.

Gundam 00 OP 2 is my favorite OP ever. OP 4 is pretty high up there as well.

I think parts 1 and 3 are pretty thoroughly good

Eva is way more basic than Lain. Almost anyone can relate to Shinji's teen feelings of being hurr durr I'm depressed or Asuka being hurr I'm so insecure (Even Rin is written with more nuance than her and she came from an eroge). Then you add in how often they sexualize the characters plus having most conflicts resolve around fights to distract the viewer with even more base stimulation, it makes sense why it's more popular with your average joe.

Macross or Hellsing ultimate. I would rather choose a favorite for each genre and demography.

Hellsing Ultimate was really, really good, nice pick

Lain is about as deep as the Matrix sequels.

>Characters linger in the background until, at one point, they are given lots of attention, a backstory, and are then promptly killed.
You mean like Mein, Wave, Najenda Kurome and Akame herself? Oh, wait, those didn't die, despite getting their flashbacks.
Then how about most villains, but most notably Esdese, and Leone? Oh, wait, those had their backstories revealed over the course of the narrative as a whole and big parts in it.

MAybe try to be less reductionist. Your "model" applies to a handful of characters at most and misses the point of a large majority of them.

Right, some characters are introduced and killed, others are introduced, hang out for a bit, and then get killed. Deep shit.

>Every member of Night Raid going on a mission with MC
How was any of that unavoidable? Chelsea's was clearly avoidable, but an oversight on her part. Lubbok gettting captured could have been avoided. Leone practically sacrificed herself, knowing what she was getting into.
Also, no, more than one or two characters survived. Even within Night Raid itself, depending on whether we're talking about the anime or the manga.

Agreed but that's a small chunk of a giant franchise. I suppose you could count each part separately though as I think it was different studios

We get it, you don't understand Lain. Join the club

Except that most of the characters I named in that post DON'T get killed at all. Are you just pretending to be this stupid?

Most of the characters that got introduced mid-story and then died at some point are minor antagonists. Which is to be expected from any kind of action manga.
The only ones who break that mold are Chelsea and Susanoo.

It was unavoidable because the fromula of martyring all the characters was so evident, that everyone knew that the whole Night Raid crew was going to die. I personally knew very early on, and as a result didn’t feel anything when characters died, because I saw it coming from a mile away. Their deaths meant nothing because no one wants to get invested in dead men walking.

That's not what "unavoidable means". You are also ignoring, again, that not every (named) member of Night Raid died. In fact, over a third of them survived.

I, uh, don't see why a manga you'd call "slightly above average" would be your favourite.

>it conflicts too strongly with the narrative themes of TV madoka
>maybe i just need to rewatch
Yes, you definitely need a rewatch. Everything in Rebellion either aligns perfectly with the original, or serves as a sort of counter-argument. Instead of trying to think of the series and Rebellion as a single work, which may be slightly incoherent, think of the original series as an exploration of Madoka's character, and of Rebellion as an exploration of Homura, and try to understand how they complete each other.

Eureka Seven and TTGL are only alike in that they both have robots.

TTGL is a manly story with a huge focus on combat.
Eureka Seven has combat, but it is more of a vehicle to advance the plot rather than being the focus; the focus is the relationship between Renton and Eureka, and Renton's attempts to become accepted as a member of the Gekkostate in order to get closer to Eureka.

I've heard more people compare Eureka Seven to Evangelion if anything, with parallels between Rei and Eureka.

One Piece has been around a long time and has peaks and canyons. The new animation style looks great and WCI was pretty good so I'd say we are nearing another peak

Never a bad thing. Whole cake Island is pretty fucking great near the end. The animation went from shit to great for a few episodes. Sadly, the Reverie arc is pretty terrible thanks to tons of flashback filler. The few Wano episodes out so far have been pretty amazing.

Never watched Diamond No Ace but I really enjoyed One Outs for what it's worth.

I've always been interested in one piece but I watched the first episode 7 years ago and didn't like the dub voice actor (only watched dub then) and have never tried to pick it up since. Can you explain to me the main goal of one piece since it has 894 episodes.

>but they responded to a guy insulting their tastes
As a response to someone insulting tastes unporvoked. See, that's where that leads. And I maintain that One Piece and Naruto are easily worse than Boku no Hero.

>take your little rip off Naruto back to argue with the HxHfags.
Learn to read:
>shit like One Piece or Naruto
What makes you think anyone who dislikes One Piece would like Naruto? They are basically the same trite shit.

>Can you explain to me the main goal of one piece since it has 894 episodes.
Earning lots of money without effort by dragging out a non-story over multiple repetitive arcs.

Mostly adventures revolving aroung rescuing whatever character needs to rescued in that arc,and later on it apparently takes a political turn with the revolutionaries but I haven't gotten that far yet.

>never a bad thing
i honestly agree, i rewatched the anime 3-4 times in my youth before actually starting the manga, back when there were roughly ~300-400 episodes or so and started reading roughly around the start of thriller bark
maybe that's why i hold old piece in such high regard, there's a certain magic missing from the newer episodes, at least imo

>dub
That was your first mistake. I'm not even shitting on dubs to be an elitist. It's just that in One Piece's case they are objectively inferior to the sub. Half the reason to watch the anime is for the superb voice cast in the Jap version.

If you want a quick rundown. One Piece is an adventure/comedy/action manga that spans a shitload of chapters for the sake of Luffy's dream of becoming Pirate King and obtaining One Piece. Nobody knows what the One Piece, except that it exists (and no it is not the friends you made along the way *confirmed by Oda*). A lot of the reason that people get hooked on the series is because of the main cast and their chemistry together. The focus of the show isn't entire on Luffy but the Straw Hats themselves and the manga does a great job of fleshing out the characters and making you care about them.

If you are interested in the series. I would read that manga at least until Arlong Park. You could watch it but the anime moves at a slightly slower pace. If it doesn't really do anything for you by then, it probably isn't for you. I have yet to meet someone who has genuinely hated One Piece even after reading/watching up to Arlong. I've met people who couldn't get into it but still admit that it is a good manga. All said, the quality has dropped a bit over the years but it has it's peaks. The last two arcs have been pretty good so far.

Darker than Black S1. I know it's flawed, but I still enjoy it more than any other show.

Stop acting like everyone must like your favourite anime just because it's popular.

well, it doesn't end. the anime was never finished. trust me, your enjoyment is the exact same. that ending is a bit of a gag anyway. satisfying enough for a harem anime.

I grew up with CCS in spicland. It was so different and creative you understand why it's still popular to this day.

How many times have you watched all the way through your favorite anime?

About 3 - 5 times (TTGL)

Same thing goes for me; I just felt so excited and had such fun watching it and I'm not even sure why it clicked with me so well. At first I didn't even like it that much, but after the bat episode it became an all time favorite.

The books and comics, yes, but the animated show was anime. It had some really good VAs as well. Snufkin was Dio for example.

How can you love Utena when the characters are so freaking irritating? I can't stand that traitorous bitch Anthy and the fact that Utena was so dumb and didn't see it.

>I can't stand that traitorous bitch Anthy
You don't have to love all characters to appreciate the work they are in. I'd even argue that a good story should have a few characters that have the potential to be "antagonized" by the reader/viewer.

Prefer the 2001 adaptation of Hellsing despite the inconsistent animation and weird story direction when they ran out of stuff to adapt.

Music was god tier, had tons of atmosphere, lots of operating operationally, and was generally just cool.

Got to see Hellsing as an effective fighting unit, rather than Alucard just killing everything all the time. Made the mansion attack more impactful though they couldve used a few more episodes to develop the mooks. Nice to see Hellsing held back by British government incompetence too.

90% sure whoever was doing the writing for TV was a big fan of Vampire the Masquerade, had the demon Set in London and everything.

Code Geass was okay Although I wasn't in high school so I'm obviously older and more experienced than you, thus I don't get a kick out of calling something "stupid" when anime is full of such things.

DESU, that show was more like a relatively lighthearted version of Berserk. Things get dark and betrayals happen, but not that dark.

Not too bad, I'd say, but I don't know what happens in the manga or novels.

Outlaw Star, Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple, Stand Alone Complex series for me.
