Favorite Anime

[Obake]

This is what you call an otaku's most difficult venture (at least for me...)

Very true. I have the same problem with musical artists and/or songs.

I'm completely unable to come up with a true top 10 list (I tried somewhere before, and wasn't happy with it), so here's a semi-random sampling of the top 30 I threw together and wouldn't really be able to decide between.

Ah! My Goddess
Clannad
Koihime Musou
Lucky Star
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka
Carnival Phantasm
Full Metal Panic
Shakugan no Shana
Steins;Gate
Slayers

Overall, I'd say my viewing habits are skewed toward harems/romantic comedies, slice of life, and light novel adaptations, but I watch a fair bit of other stuff too. I like to think I enjoy a broad range of genres, but within a genre it can be inexplicable why I like one show and not another.

There is a lot on your list. I think that you should watch the disgaea anime though. It follows the story of the game and it's funny.

[Nyekun]

There's only 1 Disgaea anime and they do have it listed.

[vampko]

I'll probably have to make another list, and I contacted houk about merging the threads so we don't have dupe threads lying around, and also don't lose any of the posts.

[Nyekun]

Just finished Chihayafuru and it would definitely be my favorite josei genre anime now. Sadly, the manga lacks what the anime had so I won't be picking up the manga (since the anime ends openly).

I watched that monstrosity. Whatever "plot" it may have is the absolute furthest from the actual game story that you can get.

Yeah, it's listed in there...also, as horrible as it was, at the time, I found it enjoyable.

I saw the first couple of episodes and enjoyed it, so not sure why people hate it so much

Since it's completely different from the game, why compare it to the game?

The same reason people compare the Lord of the Rings movies to the books; they're based on the source material, so it's inevitable for comparisons to be made between media.

I didn't find it bad, just didn't find it as good as it could have been. I watched it... a very long time ago, and IIRC, it was pretty much the same thing every episode.

Ah, so I remembered correctly. Lol.
