Cardcaptor Sakura - consistently awesome for 70 episodes and two movies. Twice as long and almost as good as any of the best.

Same reason Count of Monte Cristo is by favorite book while Gulliver's Travels comes second. 1200 pages of brilliant dialogue beats 200 pages of life changing and insightful any day of the week

Yeah, I'm also familiar with Monte Cristo. One of the literature pieces I have learned in college. Have you ever dreamt of having Sakura's cards? Hahaha!

I'll go for the bloody fights hahaha thank you for sharing your favorite anime. I'll consider watching that as well! :) I'm just wondering, how do fatal anime affect you?

It doesn't affect anything in my life, well, maybe I got too absorbed by its bloody but hilarious fights.

Yup and we're just breathing the same air, dude. I like One Piece as well but I haven't finished watching it yet. If we're gonna talk all day long about it, you might spoil everything. And that's probably a big NO! Haha!

Neon Genesis Evangelion. Nothing I've watched has affected me as much as that show did. It turned every anime cliche on its head, made me think more than a series ever has and the final five minutes of EoE, especially the things Yui says, will stick with me until the day I die. I do not think it's a perfect anime by any means and the story has plenty of flaws, but I always go by personal feelings over things like animation quality and story integrity.

Very honorable mentions go to Clannad, Serial Experiments Lain and Shinsekai Yori, as well as the final episode of Angel Beats, despite not giving it the anime itself a top rating.

I've liked anime for most of my life, and started with good ol' DBZ back when Toonami was still airing during the after-school hours. First series I watched from start to finish was Angelic Layer, and that remains dear to my heart..but it just doesn't compare to the favorites I have now. And yeah, I greatly prefer animated series over live action ones.

Anyway...the "serjes" thing aside. So you really want raisans, bro?

I appreciate the information you have shared though, thank you! If you don't mind me asking for reasons, can you give me some? I'm just in dire need of great anime suggestions.

It's a great de-construction and re-construction of fantasy action Shonen.

It's very theam-atically strongs, sticks close to it's themes.

The character depth and development balanced and flows with the plot. Neither is focused on too much, that is loses flow, and even poorly does it.

It may not be the deepest series in the world, but when it's deep, it actually gets deep, and no-where near pretentious

The story-telling is straight-forward...and fairly predictable...but the fact that it's such a predictable and straight-forward story that's still good enough to keep your interst for 64-130 Episodes is extremely impressive.

The art-style is beautifully done, unique, and has this cool style I like. They mixed gritty real world mixed with fantasy mixed with Anime...it's really cool.

The character designs are brilliantily done and creative.

It changed my life, and is the most power-ful and emotionall power-ful series I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

The fact that you get two stories, two master-piece stories. FMA 2003 and FMA: Brotherhood is beautiful. That's a once in a life time opportunity.

FMA 2003 may be flawed, and have ass-pulls and plot holes...but think about it this way. FMA 2003 doesn't skip the beginning of the FMA Manga...and it strayed away from the Manga half-way through, of course it's going to have plot-holes and ass-pulls. They made it as perfect as possible for creating their own story half-way through the story.

Both Anime's ending are theamatically strong in their own way.

FMA 2003 shows the negative and more realistic effects of equivelant exchange.

FMA:B is a story about the brothers getting their bodies back for an equivelant exchange.

The soundtrack is brilliant for both.

The English dubs are fantastic.

I'll never get sick of the ED/OP.

Also FMA 2003, espically Brotherhood are the greatest pieces of media I've ever experienced in my life. They're the first pieces of media to make me sob out loud. Oddly enough, FMA: Brotherhood made me sob out loud a lot more.

Also this scene will stick with me until I die...

(SPOILERS)
"Alphonse, look at me! I promise, someday soon! I'm coming back for you! Just you wait! Wait for me" "Let it all out..."

I'm a man, and I sobbed like a baby for like 30 minutes, it blew my mind. That's when I knew FMA:B was the greatest thing to ever happen in my life!

FMA: Brotherhood, specifically, has no obvious flaws, besides the pace rushing in the first Season. There's no plot-holes, etc.

FMA 2003, and FMA:B complete each other's experiences even though they're completely different stories. Which I find very impressive and amazing!

Oh and the next Episode...with Van Hohenheim and Trisha Elric had me sobbing too. FMA:B's just a master-piece.

FMA:B because I don't have any complaints about it. But tbh I would not like to say FMA:B is my favourite. There are a lot of anime that I thought did some aspect better which I loved them for. But FMA:B was the best overall.
