Which Anime is the best original Anime in your opinion? Sooo, not based on either a Manga, LN, VN etc.

For me Ano Natsu de Matteru and Ano Hana would be the best :P

If you mean in that terms of it having a manga started before the series, the anime only covered a small part of it and diverged from the manga rather early on.
The manga is JUST about to end in a few months.
Wikipedia said:
Initially released before the anime series of the same name, the manga was quickly outpaced by the TV series, and is now reaching its conclusion, over 15 years after the TV series concluded.

Anyway:
Ergo Proxy I found to be quite unique for throwing in multiple allusions I still have yet to uncover, and pretty much any detail matters. The story is also told unconventionally (i.e. the beginning-middle parts of each episode made little sense but the ending of each episode helped tie what you saw back into the plot)

Mawaru Penguindrum simply blew me away for all the twists in the story it offered.

Serial Experiments Lain because it was a very intriguing mind bending watch and mystery.

Texhnolyze for its very, very, mature/adult themes with an ending that...hits you in the gut. Beautiful.

IMO it's Code Geass.

And No I don't care if you agree or disagree, that's why it's my opinion.

Code Geass is still to this date one of the best anime I have ever seen....BOTH seasons.

I regard it as one of the best.

Here are my other opinions.

Best adapted anime from a manga.....Death Note.
Best adapted anime from a Light Novel....Katanagatari.
Best sequel anime....Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai

Revolutionary Girl Utena. And don't say that the manga came first. They were created at the same time by BePapas, it's just that the show was aired a few months later than the manga was published.

Having said that: Gorgeous visuals, equally gorgeous soundtrack, and insane story. Trifecta for me.

lol opinions are like becoming social dogmas
ITS MY OPINION SO YOU HAVE NO REASON TO QUESTION, PONDER, OR CONVERSE ON HOW OR WHY I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IM AT. D:<

i mean damn its cool to have an opinion but atleast try to explain why you like something other than "I LIKED IT" makes you nothing more than a baby who scrunches his face when he tastes something sour but isn't sure why they did so. (my opinion anyway :D)

Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha. I got attached to the main cast, Hei is such a great protagonist, acts cold-hearted, but is truly the most sincere character in the show. I also liked Yin and Huang's development, but Mao had the best personality! Character designs are gorgeous and very detailed, animation is top-notch and action scenes were truly entertaining to watch. For me this show has special feel to it, the atmosphere is somewhat unique that I've never felt before.
