Personal Favorites Not On Your Top Ten

Postby mitsuki lover » Sat Jan 05, 2008 1:02 pm

This is a thread to discuss those anime titles you enjoy but aren't on your
Top Ten Favorites list.Perhaps it's a title that you just recently discovered
or one that you enjoyed for a long time but only made it to something like 11 or 20 on your personal favorites list.

There are only two that I can really think of right now. The first is Vision of Escaflowne. I liked it for the most part, but didn't care so much for the romantic confusion, and didn't like the ending.
The second is Rurouni Kenshin. Despite my brother's criticisms of it, and despite my decision that I'm not going to watch past Episode 62, I really liked it. Kenshin was funny and cool, and while episodic, the anime was pretty good all around.
You can find out things about the past that you never knew. And from what you've learned, you may see some things differently in the present. You're the one that changes. Not the past.

I've actually had some trouble filling out a top ten list because after the top 5 or so, I have a ton of titles that I really like, but I can't really rank them.

I could go on for months on these, but out of the nice, neat, giant pile of mediocre anime that I still love, Peach Girl definitely stands out. I know it's a gigantic piece of trashy boyfriend-stealing teen angst crap, but I LOVE it, the melodrama, the pissiness, the I-want-to-strangle-every-single-character-in-this-stupid-show feeling. 26 eps of anger and headbashing just wasn't enough; I went out and watched the old Taiwanese drama, and I want to watch the series again. This says something because I RARELY rewatch-- I don't even rewatch the gold titles on my "Top Five," but I would gladly sit through the infuriating Peach Girl again and again.

Of the ones I own I have to say I am especially addicted now to Wedding Peach and Kimagure Orange Road,I also have come to enjoy
The Original Dirty Pair,Shrine of the Morning Mist and Haibane Renmei.
I also enjoyed Slayers Gorgeous and all of the other titles I have collected.
For tv I would have to say Bleach,Blood +, Big O would be among my
favorites on AS and Noein,Perfect Blue and Tokko so far on Ani-Monday.
Gad Guard,Gatekeepers 21,Geneshaft,Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi,RahXephon and ROD the tv for the old AU.
Then again I probably could add plenty more.

If I actually had ten top titles, Sailor Moon would not be there. I like the stories (most of them), but the lesbianism ruined it for me.

My favorite Magic Girl show would have to be Wedding Peach.

Ok,I think I mentioned that enough.
