Well I also wanted to add Yotsubato& as one of my favorite manga but they only let me name 5. Shouldn't they at least let you have a top 10?
I am not going to try to list my favorite anime because I don't want to pick and choose between my favorites. Also only 10 characters? This is why I don't like making top 10 lists. :(
As far as ratings go as you can see I don't give out 10's lightly. However I would definitely recommend all of my 9's and 8's and some of my 7's (a few series I was undecided what to rate them.) A few 7's are really just guilty pleasures or series I feel nostalgic about so I am not sure if I would recommend them. Anything lower than 7 I didn't like very much.
I also added an 8.5 tag for series that I think are not 9's but deserve better than 8.

Hey, so you finally got started on Touch I see. I'm still trying to work up the time and nerve to make that 257-chapter commitment myself, but I guess watching Cross Game will do in the mean time.

Awww, thanks Kim! Having spent a lot of time on forums over the years, I'm used to the occasional disagreement; I guess it's all just a part of being passionate about something!
As it stands now, I think the article is balanced perfectly by our respective viewpoints; people that stumble across it in the future will (hopefully) read the whole page and completely understand our perspectives on the series (hence the article is all the more valuable due to our disagreement!)

Sorry I watched with Korean sub ;_;

Indeed i have. Ever since you shown me that Riza image a few months back, i just knew it would make the perfect profile image for MAL. :3

Well, it's (Touch) isn't going anywhere, but the thing with these older series is that if you keep putting them off, they just drop out of your mind (I suppose that's one of the coolest things about MAL, it constantly reminds me how much classic anime I've still to watch). Anyway, I would suggest that if you're loving Cross Game as much as me, then Touch is well worth your time-- the two are very similar in set-up, and despite being nearly 30 years apart, the character designs look so similar!

I actually saw those movies back a long while ago, but I recently bumped into something that jogged up some ol' nostalgia and figured I might as well add it to the list. Better late than never, eh? But really, I'd be some kind of masochist to watch all 4 of 'em in a row like that. I think I had a much higher tolerance as a kid. =)
It's basically DBZ movies with crappier action scenes and an injection of bastardized Greek, Norse, and sometimes Christian mythology. I mean, Seiya's crew kills evil zombie Christ and a resurrected Lucifer for crying out loud. I ain't much of a church-goer, so maybe I missed that sermon.

Oh yeah, Casshern Sins! I never cared much for the original story and certainly not that live-action adaptation, but it's been pretty darn good from what I hear; I should go check it out. :D
I did watch an ep or 2 of the first season of Natsume Yuujinchou, but it bored me thoroughly... I don't' know if I'd really enjoy it or what. Anyway, thanks for the recs. I think I'll watch CS next, unless I suddenly feel like rewatching PlanetES or even Princess Tutu. Or maybe 12K...

I only decided to watch it because a friend was going on and on about it and it's got great visuals... and most importantly I can marathon it. I can turn my brain off and just enjoy the sparkly animation. What would you recommend out of new stuff? I just happened to find Xam'd in an IRC channel...

A good reason. I'd probably have said the same thing. :3

Good to see you on Mal. :)

Thanks! I've definitely been on a journey with LOTGH this year and I'm determined to finish 2008 having finally completed it. It's an amazing series, but a really acquired taste too, probably the most dialogue intensive anime series I've ever seen, right up there with Ghost in the Shell. Oh, and next on my list after that will be Twelve Kingdoms.

Well, the egos of the various mediums and exorcists is somewhat irritating to watch. Plus, the latest story arc (currently on the third) seems to be predictable because I can tell who's the culprit.
The story arcs are so far interesting though.

I was thinking about using that pic, but...T_T
Anyway, I see you finally got back to watching Chi. Just down to the final stretch now. =)

I get that their actions are meant to be blatantly absurd and reprehensible to make that 'disconnect' all the more apparent, but it still doesn't make it easy to watch. I mean, I can appreciate any type of character, so long as I can understand how they came to think the way they do. It's the mentality here in RoV that's incomprehensible to me. For example, in the most recent episode I saw (11), the Duke shot a destitute child in the back, then started laughing maniacally right there in the street...I mean really? It just felt like a cheap push to squeeze out some melodrama. It's hard for me to take a character or an event seriously when they feel like a gimmick.
But yeah, I see the point you and gaguri are making. I just wish there was a more subtle and believable way to go about it than the over-the-top manner being pushed into my face right now. Even still, I'm enjoying the show much more now that the silly rivalry between Du Barry and Antoinette has passed (though Jeanne seems like a new Du Barry in the making).
