What are your favorite animes? ^^

Even if those memories are painful, even if those memories do nothing but hurt me...Even those memories I wish I could forget...As long as I keep carrying them with me and don't run away from them. Someday...Someday, I believe I will get to the point where I'm not oppressed by those memories. That's what I want to believe. I'd like to think that there's not a single memory that I have which would be okay to forget." -Momiji Sohma - Fruits Basket

I've only heard about 2 of those Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles and Trigun. But I really love XXXHolic, Soul Eater, and Tokyo Mew Mew. My favorites have to be Sgt. Frog, Soul Eater, Ao No Exorcist, Hetalia ( I had to convince my mom to let me watch XD), Ouran High School Host Club, FMA, and a ton more but you get the idea ^^'.

This is a hard question for me, as my rankings constantly change when I watch new series. That being said... Full Metal Panic! is one of the series responsible for getting me into anime, as is Area 88 (OVA and the remake). Gundam is somewhere up there as well, but I think I'm more a fan of the models than I am of the actual show. (Please, put down the rocks)

I've been wanting to watch Code Geass and Bleach for a while. But I have like, no idea what's in it. I wanna watch Bleach, really bad. But I can't find it on Netflix, and it has it on Hulu I think but I'd prefer the English dub. I've heard of all of those, I hear their pretty good.

You used to be able to find ALL of the dubbed bleach episodes on [mod snip], but they shut down for some reason X(
You could try:

Anyway, I have terrible trouble picking favorites, but my top five would probably be something like this...

Clannad (Definitely number 1)
Angel Beats!
Shugo Chara!
Madoka Magica
Uhh, I dunno, InuYasha, maybe? That or Tegami Bachi.

Hm... Well, I haven't watched all that many animes, and I have trouble picking favorites, but my top five would look something like this (in no particular order):

Angel Beats!
Fullmetal Alchemist
Last Exile
Trigun
Mushi-Shi

But I've liked almost every anime I've watched quite a bit, so that list may vary depending on my mood.

I like the one where old guys talk about the merits of democracy vs. autocracy, the one where a dude gets his face smashed into a railroad, the one about the guy who who has to undergo a spiritual journey concerning his place as a human being, the one where the people rally together to fight government censorship, and the one where a bored teenager and the cute girl solve dumb mysteries together.

I've always been a big fan of Fushigi Yugi and haven't found an anime that's interested me quite the same since then. Full Moon wo Sagashite was also pretty great.

Oh and Mahoromatic. I love Mahoromatic.

Er...for the plot, of course. And nothing else. <.< >.>

REDLIIIIIIINNNNNNNNEEEEE. In that same vein, Paprika. What can I say, I'm a sucker for spectacular animation.
Tatami Galaxy too. It's just a mix of good things.

As for stuff that might not make too much sense, I adore Cyber City Oedo 808. It's not even that great. It's a hair metal band meets cyberpunk meets the undead meets WHAT AM I WATCHING. Actually, maybe I love it because it's just so ridiculous.

And...that's it, I guess, without overloading the post with everything I rate highly.
