What are your top three favorite anime?
(lemmy.ml)
1- The
2- Girl
3- Reading dis
Wolfs Rain
Trigun
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
(I am an old)
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.
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.
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.
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.
God, that's a tough question. After thinking about it for a while I think these are my top 3:
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Jojo's
- Fullmetal alchemist (it's not terribly complex or deep, but 99% of what it sets out to do, it does extremely well)
-
Gundam (1979)
-
Dragon Ball/Z
-
Berserk
Pretty ho-hum taste but I am who I am.
Gundam 79 rules, but Zeta Gundam FUCKS
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.
The 79 series has a really cool vibe as well. And that theme song!
The ED of 0079 is one of my favorites of all time. The moody electric piano at the beginning is delightful.
Amurooooo
It drives me nuts that two of your three top anime are manga adaptations where the manga is a lot better lol
Not arguing with you there!
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
It's criminal that funimation fucked up the ost to dragon ball so badly.
Are we talking the original or Z? Cause I can recall with Z that when I watched it on American TV it had a different theme song than Canadian broadcasts. American one was a dude yelling "DRAGON! DRAGON! HUH! DRAGON DRAGON!" and a sweet double picked lead and the Canadian one was more midtempo and had normal dudes harmozing "Dragon dragon ball" and then a death metal guy would go "DragonBall ZEEEEEEEE". I did watch the dub of non Z DragonBall way back but I was super young when it aired.
Z, with the butt rock rock the dragon intro. Give me Cha-La Head-Cha-La any day over that.
I had no idea how much the Japanese digimon ost was a ripoff.

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.
- 3-gatsu no Lion (March Comes in Like a Lion)
- Ping Pong the Animation
- 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.
1.Revolutionary Girl Utena.
2.Monster, it used to be my favourite but Utena has really grown on me.
3.Evangelion.
- Evangelion
- Steins;gate
- Madoka
I can't believe I had to scroll to the bottom to find Steins;Gate.
- Sailor Moon
- Dragonball
- Serial Experiments Lain
I mostly just watch my comfort shows
- Mushishi
- The Tatami Galaxy
- Kino's Journey (2003)
(No. 4 would be Serial Experiment's Lain)
- Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
- Monogatari Series (!!ANIME BULLSHIT ALERT!!)
- Katanagatari, probably
Probably Frieren The Slayer, Haibane Renmei, and Nichijou, but they're all so different I can't really rank them in any particular order.
Nichijou gang
I'd most likely go with Kara no Kyoukai, ACCA-13, and Mushi-shi.
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
hibike euph my beloved. I also really liked the movie based off it, liz and the bluebird
- Gurren Lagann (specially including the movies)
- Evangelion (including the movies, I absolutely love them)
- Revolutionary Girl Utena
Bonus: 4. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 5. Dungeon Meshi
I can't express how much I love Gurren Laggan, i really need to rewatch it. The second movie is just
I loves the show but never got around to watching the movies. Didn't even know there was more than one.
Gurren Lagann? There's only two movies. The first one is a retelling of the first half of the anime, with a few differences towards the end, and the second one is a different retelling of the second half. If I had to describe it, I would say its as if they simply turned it up to 11.
I absolutely love it and recommend anyone that has seen the anime to watch it.
-
Turn A Gundam
-
Mobile Police Patlabor (TV) - I'd cheat and throw in the OVA episodes that complete this one
