1. Sailor Moon
My "gateway" anime and a true classic! This will always be my favorite one of all. Moon Crystal Power! LOL |
|
|
2. Pokémon
I'm a longtime fan of both the show and the video games. |
|
|
3. Dragon Ball
I used to always watch this after school :) |
|
|
4. Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
Another after school favorite. |
|
|
5. Neon Genesis Evangelion
Every anime fan should watch this at some point. It's a wonderful classic, not to mention the multitude of references to it in other anime. |
|
|
6. Ranma ½
This was one of my first manga series. |
|
|
7. Saber Marionette |
|
|
8. Slayers |
|
|
9. The Vision of Escaflowne |
|
|
10. Hellsing
I got into this one when I was in college. GREAT vampire anime, but I didn't like the ending! Hellsing Ultimate is also amazing. |
|
|
11. Fullmetal Alchemist
AWESOME anime series I would recommend to anyone. You will get addicted to the storyline and possibly even buy a pocket watch. :) |
|
|
12. Excel Saga
Silly, silly show that makes fun of anime. |
|
|
13. Death Note |
|
|
14. Bleach |
|
|
15. Princess Tutu
One of the best series of all time IMO. |
|
|
16. Naruto
Unfortunately, I've seen some of this. Sorry, but I'm soooo not a Narutard. |
|
|
17. Tramps Like Us
This is actually manga, but it is an amazing series if you like josei. |
|
|
18. Emma - A Victorian Romance
A really sweet, well written romance series that takes place during Victorian times. |
|
|
19. Cowboy Bebop |
|
|
20. Elfen Lied
Blood, guts, and coolness. |
|
|
21. Akira
Who hasn't seen this? |
|
|
22. Tekken
I liked this a lot when I was younger. It's entertaining enough if you like Tekken. |
|
|
23. Serial Experiments Lain |
|
|
24. Ninja Nonsense: The Legend of Shinobu
I love this comedy anime. It's extremely silly but hilarious. |
|
|
25. Solty Rei
Pretty cool series about an adopted robot girl. |
|
|
26. Noein - to your other self
Wonderful series focusing on a group of childhood friends and alternate dimensions. |
|
|
27. Monster
A doctor saves a child who grows up to be a serial killer. Guilt-ridden, the doctor tries to hunt the killer down. |
|
|
28. Kaleido Star
So sugary and sweet it will give you diabetes. It's pretty cool though - the series is about an aspiring circus performer and her rivalries with other performers. |
|
|
29. GTO
A perverted delinquent-turned-high-school-teacher takes the job just to try to marry a high school girl. Somehow, he ends up helping many of the students improve their lives and friendships. |
|
|
30. Moon Phase
I haven't finished this one yet, but it is a comedy about a young vampire girl and her victim. |
|
|
31. Appleseed
AWESOME CG movies. |
|
|
32. Witch Hunter Robin
Dark series about modern witch hunting. |
|
|
33. Those Who Hunt Elves
VERY silly. I would recommend watching just an episode or two - the ending (and most of the series) is nothing special. |
|
|
34. Chrono Crusade
A gun-toting nun who is friends with a demon. This series is amazing and has an awesome ending. |
|
|
35. Vexille
Although it is by the makers of Appleseed, it isn't as good as the Appleseed movies. Pretty decent though. |
|
|
36. Ah! My Goddess
I read the manga a long time ago and saw some of the anime. It's pretty shallow but fun. |
|
|
37. Suzuka
I caught this one on the Funimation channel. Again, it's shallow but fun enough. |
|
|
38. Lucky Star |
|
|
39. Read or Die
The anime is wonderful. I haven't tried the manga! |
|
|
40. Tenchi Muyo
Very silly series I used to watch when I was younger. It's one of those anime where a bunch of girls are in love with the same guy. |
|
|
41. .hack//SIGN
A series based on the video games. |
|
|

|
