Wolfs Rain

Trigun

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

(I am an old)

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Wolf's Rain is oddly appropriate for the world we live in given the climate thing and techno feudalism.

I always loved the "rip your heart out and stomp on it" ending of it, too.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Wolf's rain was a runner-up in mine but I haven't watched it in so long I don't think I can accurately judge it.

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

It ends up in my rotation at least every year or so. It's really a comfort anime for me, having gotten into it while dealing with some early identity crises and heavily identifying with the wolves.

[-] 9to5@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Frieren

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Also while I dont care for comedy anime most of the time I have to agree with other posters that Nichijou is absolute peak.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

God, that's a tough question. After thinking about it for a while I think these are my top 3:

  1. Neon Genesis Evangelion
  2. Jojo's
  3. Fullmetal alchemist (it's not terribly complex or deep, but 99% of what it sets out to do, it does extremely well)

  1. Gundam (1979)

  2. Dragon Ball/Z

  3. Berserk

Pretty ho-hum taste but I am who I am.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Gundam 79 rules, but Zeta Gundam FUCKS

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I have a lot of nostalgia for 1979 Gundam because I saw it in a good time in my life. I had a job, a girlfriend and I was in my mid-20's, I related a lot to Amuro for some reason.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

The 79 series has a really cool vibe as well. And that theme song!

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

The ED of 0079 is one of my favorites of all time. The moody electric piano at the beginning is delightful.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago
[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

It drives me nuts that two of your three top anime are manga adaptations where the manga is a lot better lol

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Not arguing with you there!

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I'll give you the fact that the Dragon Ball and Berserk (97) anime both have amazing scores that make reading the comic more enjoyable since I can often imagine the music in my head lol

I'm gonna say......

  • Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions
  • The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
  • Sakura Quest

None of those are on my "official" list of favorites, which I frankly haven't actually touched in years — and for all I know the Chunibyo and Haruhi light novels are better than the anime — but the whole idea of "favorites" is kinda nonsense, anyways, right? A lot of people, myself included, hear the word "favorite" and basically end up running a computer program in our Linux-ass brains in order to sort through eeeeverything of the specified category, to try to scientifically measure some vague idea of "most liked", and then we'll inevitably feel bad when this program fails to do the impossible, and we just sort of have to wing it, as if "winging it" represents some sort of "betrayal" of... Pff, I dunno, fictional characters? Our past selves? The collective efforts of the many talented people who worked on these things that we're awfully fond of but just didn't "make the cut"? Something like that.

No, the true meaning of "what are your top three favorite..." is generally just a fancier way of saying "please name any three that you like of..." — where nobody's going to judge or correct you for what you say, as long as it can start an interesting conversation, or says something deeper about you or your overall preferences. In which case even just rambling about my own linuxbrain problem with the concept of "favorites" probably reveals more than plenty about the rationale for at least one of my picks, if not two of them.

[-] NoYouLogOff@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago
  1. 3-gatsu no Lion (March Comes in Like a Lion)
  2. Ping Pong the Animation
  3. Revolutionary Girl Utena

I have a type. I've got a few 10/10 that I juggle around 2 and 3, but 1 is still 3-gatsu.

[-] camaron30@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

1.Revolutionary Girl Utena.

2.Monster, it used to be my favourite but Utena has really grown on me.

3.Evangelion.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago
  1. Evangelion
  2. Steins;gate
  3. Madoka
[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago

[-] Tom742@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago
  1. Sailor Moon
  2. Dragonball
  3. Serial Experiments Lain

I mostly just watch my comfort shows

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago
  1. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
  2. Monogatari Series (!!ANIME BULLSHIT ALERT!!)
  3. Katanagatari, probably
[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Probably Frieren The Slayer, Haibane Renmei, and Nichijou, but they're all so different I can't really rank them in any particular order.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Nichijou gang

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

I'd most likely go with Kara no Kyoukai, ACCA-13, and Mushi-shi.

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Evangelion

Hibike Euphonium

Those two were easy picks, but I can't really think of a third anime that I think is equally meaningful to me

[-] vehicom@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 months ago

hibike euph my beloved. I also really liked the movie based off it, liz and the bluebird

[-] KrasMazov@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
  1. Gurren Lagann (specially including the movies)
  2. Evangelion (including the movies, I absolutely love them)

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I loves the show but never got around to watching the movies. Didn't even know there was more than one.

  1. Turn A Gundam

  2. Mobile Police Patlabor (TV) - I'd cheat and throw in the OVA episodes that complete this one

  3. Space Runaway Ideon: Be Invoked

Edit: the second Ideon movie edged out the original Gundam show when I was thinking about it more lol. Amazingly influential movie!

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
  1. Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
  2. JoJo's Bizzare Adventure

  1. Golden Kamuy
  2. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
