Guest sesshysgirl Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 i guess my favorite anime would have to be angel sanctuary cuz it's got me caught at book 7. i love it, i guess some people must be rebelious. lol. :babble: :tasty: :wigout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riku Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I would have to say that my all time favorite manga would have to be Fruits Basket or Fullmetal Alchemist. :catgirl: I cant really pick between the two because they are both really, really good. Another series I would have to also recommend would be Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach and DN Angel. So kewl!! :animesmil :animesmil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDragon Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 [CENTER][COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]I would have to say my favorite anime would be Saiyuki because, umm....I guess I mostly like the characters. And my favorite manga would have to be Fruits Basket 'cause I really like the story line of it.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer7 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 My favorite anime would have to be Cowboy Bebop. Great story, characters, music, and animation, make it teh best anime ever! Enough people have ranted about, it, so I don't have to. I haven't read enough manga to say which one is the bes yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyxe Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 [size=1][color=slategray]To tell you the truth, you would not be able to get a correct answer on what the most popular Anime or is just from people's opinions on a discussion forum. There is so much anime, and so many people that watch it. And if you took an international survey, even, and somehow [I]everyone[/I] that watched anime was forced to take it... you'd obviously get a lot of different answers. It's very hard to get an answer for something like that. But, if you look at TV ratings for different anime shows, you could get some good results from that. Though, that would just be results from that certain station that is airing it... etc.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punk alchemist Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 for mainstream anime, i prefer anything on adult swim and toonami (y'know...naruto, fullmetal...etc...) but usually i like any anime that was inspired from my favorite manga and manga artists. i love clamp and maki murakami the most! (oh! please! any one! message me anytime! i'm new and like to make some friends here!)and for manga... i can't choose... i have about 150 manga at home...it would be mean just to choose one...

Zenriek Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Well... I don't have a [I]favorite[/I] anime/manga, they're all awesome (pretty much all). But... the mangas I like best (that I have read so far) have to be DN Angel, One Piece, Trigun, and Naruto. Favorite animes... Naruto, Trigun, Samurai Champloo, One Piece (even though the dub is kinda... messed up), and... other things I can't remember at the moment. Anything with a lot of action, fantasy, that kind of stuff... I don't like the love stuff so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rebbi Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 From what I've heard it seems that FMA and Inuyasha are very popular in the States. As for in Japan, there are so many anime/manga to choose from that it is very hard to tell which is the most popular. It really depends on which genre are you in (shounen, shoujou, seinen...) and your personal taste. Personally my favorite anime is EVA (im obsessed with all the religious reference and psychological symbolisms involved) and I have tons of favorite mangas but I LOVE anything from Yuki Kaori-sensei (the more morbid and twisted the better!!) and Obata Takeshi-sensei.

IceRose Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I like X-1999 by CLAMP and Furuba. They are good and have good story lines. :catgirl: Mostly when in Furuba they actually represent more human emotions, in X they are more liniant towards the fantasy (even though people turning into animals doesn't fall behind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 My likes in manga tend to be all over the map, including everything from Bleach to Legal Drug to Ayashi no Ceres. If I had to pick a few, it would be this little list: Saiyuki, anything by CLAMP, and most anything with the name Gundam on it. I have various reasons for this list, but I won't go into those. Unfortunately, the anime I see is limited to what they show on the TV, like FMA and Vandread. So, because of this, my choices are rather limited. My favorites in this area are: Samurai Champloo, Gundam SEED, FLCL, and Fullmetal Alchemist. If any more comes up I'll add to this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Unit 100 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Naruto's been seriously gaining in popularity recently. So popular that the Hidden Leaf Village headbands are the latest fashion trend at my school. Once the movie comes out in America I expect it to be DBZ-level successful. Also with Howl's Oscar nomination and the recent TCM (and soon CN) airings of the Ghibli movies, it seems that Miyazaki's movies are getting more and more popular. Even my grandfather loves them and that's saying a lot. Spirited Away is easily the most loved anime of all time, if not the most popular and recognized.

ChibiGoddess Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Card Captor Sakura or Chobits both by CLAMP..because it's overly simple plots and it's cute characters make these too one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stafal-chan Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 There's so many! ^_^ Well speaking in general popularity one i see the most is InuYasha (which is one of my favs). Anime itself got really big recently...surprised me because i was into anime/manga for a while then all the sudden here in america it got huge! inuyasha is a big one and so is fullmetal alchemist. My favs (this is only some i like alot) anime inuyasha, samurai champloo, fullmetal alchemist, wolf's rain, witch hunter robin, flcl is an intersting one it doesn't really make sense but i like it, scryed. there's alot try adult swim and toonami you'll find alot. try [url]www.cartoonnetwork.com[/url] then click on tv schedules to pull up it's weekly schedule for all of it's shows. Manga fruits basket, inuyasha the aniem and manga are only slightly different, ceres:celestial legend, .hack//legend of the twighlight, demon diary, dnangel.

r2vq Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 [COLOR=DarkRed]Hey folks, if this is going to degrade into just a favourites threads, it will have to close. Since Favourites Threads aren't allowed. And you can't post just the anime/manga you think is most popular, you have to give a reason why "they are so totally awsome".[/COLOR] I think the Dragonball Series is the most popular Manga out there. It's a classic series that was lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it) enough to be one of the first earlier dubbed Anime. And Anime/Manga big-shots like Kishimoto admit to being inspired by Toriyama. Even today it's still on the Lycos Top Fifty List (and it has been since the list was formed). If you go out in the street and ask somebody about "Dragonball Z" they probably have an idea of what it is, even if they don't know what Anime is. -Arvi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
