Fair warning, alot of these are short. Most of my favorite anime series are somewhere between 13 episodes (hellsing) and 50 (gundam series). Because these aren't designed to be ongoing stories they are often much better laid out.
Naruto (Cannon Episodes only)
8/10
Its a great show, fun story, and I've read every page of the Manga so seeing it in action is great. I've got something of a softspot for special powers and huge explosions.
The problem is the filler. Some of the most horrific excuses for episodes have been put out when they stop following the manga storyline because they are too close to where the manga currently is.
Basically, because the manga author is the actual "writer" of the series, they have no one on staff who can write well. So when they aren't making manga episodes its like they let a high school senior english class write the stories. Terrible.
Bleach
9/10
Less filler, and just a great story. I like pretty much all of the characters, and the story is really well developed.
Daiguard(26 episodes if I remember)
9/10
Awesome series. Cross giant robots similar to Gundam with real life. This giant robot gets broken and screwed up and has to be fixed every fight, but still takes down giant monsters and saves the earth. Its a really entertaining and more realistic take on the giant robots fighting monsters concept.
Hellsing (13 episodes)
10/10
Dark, ominious, sadly short, but otherwise absolutely amazing. Alucard is without a doubt the most bad-ass vampire ever to be written into fiction.
Trigun (26 episodes)
9/10
Irreverent and funny with the appropriate bad-ass fight scenes, trigun is greatly entertaining. One of the few series I actually own on DVD, worth every penny.
Gungrave (26 episodes? I honestly don't remember, but its not that long)
10/10
One of the things I love more than anything is character depth and a complex story. Gungrave gives this in spades, it starts out showing you this badass with giant guns slaughtering zombies, then pulls a bait and switch where you don't see him for like 15 episodes, instead they explain this convoluted backstory involving organized crime, betrayal, friendship, and everything in between. Eventually getting back to the zombie bashing present we saw in the first episode.
Cowboy Bebop (26 eps plus a movie)
10/10
Great story, beautiful visuals, amazing music, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this series in any way. Start to finish wonderful, the movie was just an amazing topper to it all.
Gundam Wing/Gundam Seed (50 eps each)
7/10
I was never able to get into Gundam Wing. Its a great series, and is very entertaining, but the politics lost me after a while. Its not for everyone, but it IS the most beloved of the Gundam Series.
Gundam seed I liked alot more. More emphasis on personal storytelling than big picture focus, instead of a series about the plight of mankind where the gundams are pretty important, its a story about the people behind it, and the politics are a background to the story of the characters rather than the characters being a part of the background of the story. Seed gets an 8/10.
Dragon Ball
9/10
DBZ was great. I have a huge soft spot for people being ridiculously powerful and shooting beams that lay waste to half a square mile worth of land. I love seeing things like this in other series (an example being this [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) )
Dragonball though, is what started it all. Its more about the story than the fights compared to DBZ, and is absolutely hilarious to boot. I highly recommend either a completely unedited English or just Japanese sub for this, you lose alot of the best parts of the series to editing to make it appropriate for kids. Theres alot of sexual innuendo jokes that got cut that are absolutely great.
Full Metal Panic
9/10
Another giant robots story, also wonderful. Completely unrelated to Full Metal Alchemist (someone else mentioned that one, its also very much worth the watching) its a story about a guy assigned to protect a girl, and this guy is a mech pilot. I'd own this one if I could find it unedited, but I can't, so I download.
S0Exciited answered Sunday February 22 2009, 8:48 pm: I have to say this is my favorite question I have ever read on this website :)
1. Inuyasha
2. 10/10 always...its never a disappointment to watch
3. Full of action, and drama. Yet also romance. The perfect combination. Sadly the tv series was cancelled (but their has been talk about it starting again with new episodes)
------------------------------
1. Fullmetal Alchemist
2. 10/10
3. Just like Inuyasha, it is full of action. There are a lot of twists and turns. There is hidden romance between two characters,...well I think so. Sadly it was also cancelled.
I would soooo recommend both of these shows even though they were discontinued. I still enjoy watching the old epsidoes. They come on adult swim just like lots of other anime shows. [ S0Exciited's advice column | Ask S0Exciited A Question ]
