Your Top 3 Animes

Started by Galan0073 pages

The original Dragonball for me. To this day I still thoroughly enjoy most of the plots, and especially the fight sequences of the WMAT's -- they were just very well done, and really emphasized fighting technique and whatnot... Mind you, this was an age before Akira went crazy with "teh 'splosions and maxmum powalevells!!!!111!!" Back when quality storytelling was the prevailing force.

That said, I still do enjoy DBZ, but that's more of a nostalgia thing for me. I can certainly admit that lots of anime eclipses it all-around.

Terrible animes. Action is mediocre at best.

If action is what you need to decide a good anime or not, you're very shallow. Maybe reason you put DB Super above DBZ is because of universe-busting punch.

Back to topic, here's my personal top 3 :

1.) Gintama

2.) Berserk

3.) Hokuto no Ken

I agree, though I did enjoy some of the later fights.

The ones where Ichigo kicks ass are usually the best.

In DBS, I can't even understand what the **** is going on.

On topic, what about Naruto?

Cowboy Bebop
Fooly Cooly
Bleach (but only because of Kenphachi Zaraki)

1. Death Note
2. Monster
3. FMA: Brotherhood

There are some pretty interesting choices on this list but for me its kind of hard to narrow down all the anime that I've seen to just a top 3. Though for a list I'd rank my personal top anime in no particular order that I find particularly outstanding:

1. Cowboy Bebop
2. Ghost in the Shell: Stand alone complex
3. Fate/Zero

Puella Magi Madoka Magika and Neon Genesis Evangelion are also high ranking as well.

I try to remember no matter what someone's opinion is, maybe that show that you think is god awful, just released a new episode and that's their one reason to smile at the end of the day.

No real order here.

"Dragon Ball Z" will always be tethered to my soul because not only was it the first show that really got me into anime, but during a low point in my life later on, Vegeta was actually who inspired me to not settle, to get healthy, and constantly start striving for self improvement even to this very day. That's why I really like Super, it just boosts my mood overall when I watch an episode because it's like the one's who were with me early on in life and with me as I grew, are back and they're continuing to grow as well, and something about that just puts me in a state of complete serenity, I feel just like a little kid again each episode, and I wouldn't trade that feeling for the world.

"Naruto" will always be one too, I know people will probably question this one so allow me some backstory. I started reading it when it first came out until the very end, that's a lot of years, a lot of memories. It was the first Manga I really got into when I would pick up Shounen Jumps, to the point I started ordering the Naruto volumes from my local comic store. Naruto was something I could abscond into when things got too real and came at a time not too long after my older brother passed away. I really grew to relate to Sasuke and liked him a lot, and he really helped get me through that rough period in my life, an for that I can't thank Kishimoto enough.

Tie between "Hajime No Ippo" and "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", I love both of these so much that I can't pick between them, but sometimes you just want to watch a man who wants a quiet life, finger a sandwich with a ladies severed arm until it sauces everywhere, and JoJo gives you that opportunity.

hard to say but right now I'd go with

FMA: Brotherhood
Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works(series)
OPM

FLCL is awesome.

Fairy Tail
One Piece
DBZ

Too many to choose from. I can more easily list my Top 3 per genre, like fantasy, sports, martial arts, RPG, etc.

So, just to pick one each from a genre:

* Hunter X Hunter (2011)
* Hajime no Ippo
* Shokugeki no Souma

Yeah, but those are basically non-existent post-SS.

What? DBS can be stupid, but it's not complicated.

On topic, what about Naruto?

I prefer it to Bleach and Dragonball, but it essentially has the same problems they do. Excessive filler and dragged on for way, way too long.

Hunter x Hunter, Inuyasha, Ouran.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

Just watched this recently for the hype, but I was pretty disappointed tbh. Maybe it's because I went in expecting a rollercoaster, but I felt like almost none of the emotional notes it was trying to hit got through to me at all.

Spoiler:
Like, for example, the tragic showdown between two best friends who... had known each other for a grand total of a couple hours or so, and been friendly for like... ten minutes of that. If you can't tell, I'm talking about Sakura and Sayaka; their mutual death scene was clearly trying to evoke emotion, but all I could think about was how bizarre and out of left field it was.

I felt like it was a story with a powerful beginning and end, but had no middle substance to make me care how it ended. It didn't spend any time endearing the main cast to the viewer. Visually and artistically I thought it was pretty fantastic (I especially loved how they abruptly changed the ED on episode 3,) but the story itself is almost forgettable to me. Why did it make your top 3?

Code Geass
JoJo's Bizarre Adventures
Trigun

Just realized, this thread needs more Rurouni Kenshin. I guess for a top 3 in no particular order I'd have probably that, then perhaps Overlord or something, as it was confirmed recently to have a season 2 after all (thank God) which I expect to be every bit as good as S1 if not more, and the 3rd choice is still tough, but screw it, I suppose to play it safe and easy I'll go with an obligatory classic like Cowboy Bebop.

Yeah, Overlord S2 will be dope. Chair & Operation Gehenna animated = life.

this list is f*cking short, back on the day i like these anime :

1.Naruto
2. DBZ
3. one piece.

naruto ------>>>> when Naruto is still teenager

Dragon ball ----->>>> when goku is mature but not the new one.

One piece ----->>>>>> ehhh i forget why i like this anime...

one punch man has a awesome fight. But not my favorite for some reason.

maybe if they change sataima' face more badass. Like Kratos maybe. And then i would change my mind.
