It got to be Death Note. The brains behind the series is so great, also the characters are pretty well presented. It talks about a notebook of a Death God that was found here on Earth(it was purposely left behind by a Death God) by Light Yagami, who wants to create a new world by using the notebook and eliminating the criminals. On the other hand, the police officers sees this way as a crime too and they hire the greatest detective in the world, L. And the battle of brains of L and Light is so cool. You have to see the series or read the manga, but I prefer the manga.
I am actually enjoying Naruto Shippuden now. I know people might not feel the same, but if you axe all the fillers in Naruto it is a pretty good series. (If you axe all the fillers, the anime also loses a year and a half)
Mickey Mouse.
This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.
Actually just started watching Detective Conan because my sister loves it so much which got me interested as well.
I love mostly Shoujo anime - Aishiteruze Baby, Daa! Daa! Daa!, Fruits Basket, Boys Be and Fushigi Yuugi. Not my FULL list of favorite anime but that's all I could remember at the moment.
Plot
Yusuke Urameshi is a street-brawling delinquent with a tough guy approach to everything. Yusuke's mother Atsuko, an alcoholic, had him at the age of 15 and took a backseat in raising her son. He has a reserved seat in the guidance counselor's office, and numerous other delinquents in the city are constantly trying to take him on. Yusuke is pretty fed up with his life.
However, no one expects a sudden act of heroism on his part: he dies trying to save a little boy from a speeding car. When he arrives in the afterlife, he is informed that the child would have miraculously survived, and had it not been for him the child would have one less scratch on his right arm. His act of heroism, therefore, was "completely pointless". Yusuke's premature death was unexpected and unnecessary, and the afterlife was not prepared for his arrival.
After numerous tests to gauge his worth, Yusuke is eventually revived, and is assigned to work for the Spirit World as a detective investigating demon cases in the human world. He comes into spiritual abilities of his own, and enlists the help of numerous friends from Reikai (spirit world), Makai (demon world, translated in the English manga as the Demon Plane) and Ningenkai (Human World) to aid him in his cases as they fight off demons and humans seeking to rule over all three worlds.
Characters
* Yusuke Urameshi (?? ??, Urameshi Y?suke?) - Yusuke is the toughest kid in Sarayashiki Junior High School and has a typical tough guy approach to everything. He becomes a spirit detective after he dies and is revived by Keiko's kiss. His main attack is the Rei Gun (Spirit Gun in the English anime) where he can manipulate his Reiki (spiritual energy) and fire it into a projectile. He learns many techniques and abilities from Genkai. He mainly grows in strength from all of his different battles, because he responds to danger by unleashing his full strength.
* Kazuma Kuwabara (?? ??, Kuwabara Kazuma?) - Kuwabara is the second toughest kid in the school, and resents Yusuke for it. Originally rivals, Yusuke and Kuwabara start a grudging friendship that only strengthens throughout the series. Although human, Kuwabara has high Reiki sensitivity; he is able to manifest a Rei Ken (Spirit Sword in the English dubbing); a type of Reiki that normally takes on the shape of a glowing sword. After the Dark Saga, Kuwabara is believed to be the strongest human alive.
* Kurama (??, Kurama?), also known as Shuichi Minamino (?? ??, Minamino Sh?ichi?) in his human form - Kurama is a demon with the ability to summon and control plants. He was originally the powerful and infamous y?kai, kitsune thief, Fox Demon Kurama or Yoko Kurama (????, Y?ko Kurama?) until he was wounded by a hunter. Managing to escape by inhabiting the body of an unborn human baby, he grew up as the human child Shuichi, and planned on abandoning his "family" once his demonic power returned at the age of ten, but grew to love his human mother, Shiori Minamino. Kurama has a wide variety of techniques, because of his ability to control a wide variety of plants, including the often seen Rose Whip.
* Hiei (??, Hiei?) - A hi y?kai (, hi y?kai?, lit. fire demon) born of a Korime (??, K?rime?, lit. Ice Maiden) who specializes in the Jagan (???, lit. (Evil Eye) skills?), as well as swordsmanship, and can move at superhuman speeds. His twin sister, Yukina, is unaware of their relationship, and Hiei has gone as far as to threaten harm to others to prevent Yukina from realizing that he is actually her brother.
* Genkai (??, Genkai?) - The aged Reiki fighter who rigorously trains Yusuke in the Spirit Light Wave Fist (?????, Reik? Had? Ken?, Spirit Wave in the English anime). Though her manner is often gruff, she cares for Yusuke and the others, and constantly tries to help them grow stronger. In the past, she was feared as one of the most powerful human fighters in both Ningenkai and Makai.

This anime was may most favorite. It is full of action with a little drama.
This was one of the most facinating anime I've seen when I was young.
Time Travel Tondekaman
The series starts when Hayato, a soccer enthusiast, and his girlfriend Yumi, an aspiring musician, went to a visit to Dr. Leonard's lab. They accidentally activated the Tondekeman, a funny talking kettle who transported them many centuries in the past[2].
In Baghdad, Hayato and Yumi gets reunited but they got separated from Tondekeman. They meet Aladdin, Prince Dandarn and Princess Shalala. They also meet the cunning Abdullah who is always ready to kidnap the princess so that he could marry the princess to his master.
Our heroes get to go to different places and times and meet several historical and literary figures as they follow Abdullah as he escapes through time to abduct the princess.
Hayato and Yumi are stuck in the past until they get Tondekeman from the possession of Abdullah.
This was a very funny anime, since there was a talking kettle and it also has a genie who dress uo likes superman
Naruto - dramatic, funny and exciting.. btw ep 80 is out ^^;
Magic Knight Rayearth - looks gay but have a nice story
Slayers(Lina Inverse) - funny and have a good story too
The story opens with the sudden appearance of Soul Reaper Rukia Kuchiki in Ichigo Kurosaki's bedroom. She is surprised at his ability to see her, but their resulting conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a "hollow", an evil spirit. After Rukia is severely wounded while trying to protect Ichigo, she attempts to transfer half her powers to Ichigo in order to let him face the hollow on equal footing. Ichigo instead unintentionally absorbs almost all her energy, allowing him to defeat the hollow with ease. The next day Rukia appears in Ichigo's classroom as a seemingly normal human, and informs Ichigo that his absorption of her powers has left her stranded in the human world until she recovers her strength. In the meantime Ichigo shelters Rukia in his home and takes over her job as a Soul Reaper, battling hollows and guiding lost souls to Soul Society.
After a few months of this arrangement, in the sixth volume of the series, Rukia's Soul Reaper superiors interpret her disappearance as desertion, send a detachment to arrest her, and sentence her to death. Ichigo is unable to stop Rukia's capture, but with the help of several of his classmates who also possess spiritual abilities and ex-Soul Reaper Urahara Kisuke, he sets off for the Soul Reaper base, located in the afterlife realm known as Soul Society. Once there, Ichigo and company battle against the elites of the Soul Reaper military, and are ultimately successful in halting Rukia's execution.
It is then revealed that Rukia's execution and Ichigo's rescue attempt were both manipulated by S?suke Aizen, a high ranking Soul Reaper previously believed to be murdered, as part of a far-reaching plot to take control of Soul Society. Aizen betrays his fellow Soul Reapers and allies himself with the hollows, becoming the primary antagonist of the series, and Ichigo teams up with his former enemies in Soul Society after learning that the next step in Aizen's plan involves the destruction of his hometown. At this point, Bleach chronicles the war between Aizen and the Soul Society, a plotline which has not yet been resolved. According to Tite Kubo, the ending of the series is not yet planned out or written.
Bleach - the first time I saw the battle between Byakuya and Ichigo, I can't seem to stop watching it.
My favorite anime of anime of all time is Cardcaptor Sakura! Story revolves a young girl, Sakura Kinimoto, who found a set of magical cards while cleaning her dad's study. The cards, which were Clow cards, flew away and Sakura made it her mission to find the all the missing cards with the help of Kerobus, the guardian of the cards. This is the first anime I've grown to love up to this day (kept watching the 2nd movie over and over and over and over again... And still squeals like lovestruck girl!
) and Syaoran is my first anime crush!
My next obsession favorite anime is Prince of tennis. Story revolves around a young Japanese tennis prodigy, Echizen Ryoma, who already won several around all over the world but has yet to step in Junior High School. Think Slam Dunk but for tennis.
It's pretty good and got me interested in real tennis (tried to play it, but realized it didn't really like me, and I am now an avid watcher of the matches in real-world tennis. Federer Rocks!!).
I have lots of other favorites but I'll stick with these ones for the meantime.
@kokori
Well, this was the spin off the anime card captor sakura, I just saw it somewhere over the rainbox lolx - wikipedia -
I do also love this anime since of its story, it is quite romantic, comedic, magical.
Sakura is the princess of Clow Kingdom, which is ruled by her older brother, King T?ya. Her childhood friend Syaoran is a young archaeologist. Sakura is revealed to have strange powers when she has a vision of a mysterious symbol and places she has never seen. Meanwhile, Syaoran discovers the same symbol at the ruins he is excavating. He sees Sakura standing on the symbol on the ground. Ghostly wings appear on her back and a mysterious force begins to pull her into the walls of the ruins. Syaoran rescues her in time, but her wings are scattered across dimensions. The High Priest of Clow Kingdom, Yukito, immediately realizes that Sakura's "feathers" were the manifestation of her soul and memories; without them, she will die. In order to save Sakura, Syaoran must journey to retrieve her wing's feathers, the fragments of her memories.
Yukito sends Syaoran and the unconscious Sakura to the Dimensional Witch, Y?ko, who is one of the main characters in xxxHolic. There he meets Kurogane, a rough-mannered ninja banished from his world by Princess Tomoyo, and Fay D. Flourite, a magician who fled his world to avoid King Ashura. Each of them must pay with what he values most in order to gain the power to cross dimensions. For Kurogane, it is his sword Ginry?, and for Fay, it is the tattoo on his back which regulates his control of his magic. Syaoran, on the other hand, must pay with his relationship with Sakura: even if he is able to retrieve all of her memories, she will never remember anything about him or their relationship. (This sacrifice also pays Sakura's "toll" to Y?ko, because what Sakura values most are her memories of and with Syaoran.) Only when the three agree to her terms does Y?ko present them with the power to cross dimensions; a white creature named Mokona Modoki.
While traversing through worlds to find Sakura's feathers, the four travellers and Mokona are forced to overcome many dangers and opponents, some of whom are figures from Syaoran's past who wish to collect Sakura's feathers for their own reasons as they are seen to be objects that hold great power.
The manga adopts darker and more complex tones in the latter half of the story.
Because of the crossover characters with xxxHolic, the two manga occasionally intertwine with each other.
[edit] Characters
SCHOOL RUMBLE AND SOUL EATER.
And Tengen Toppen Gurren Lagann!
I don't really have a favourite anime, I enjoy anime like Kaiba, Mushishi, Ergo Proxy, Wolf's Rain, Kemonozuma, Spice and Wolf, Seirei no Moribito and so on... One Piece aswell for the awesome comedy!
But if I had to choose one, I would choose Juuni Kokuki aka The Twelve Kingdoms, too bad it was not completed since the author of the novels gave up on his work.
I don't get Naruto and so on, it is mostly dialogues on dialogues on monologues on fights on monologues on dialogues. Explanations on fights, fights on explanations.
Bam a fight! It was not like it appeared, here comes the monologue or dialogue explaining what just happened, BAM we get to see what really happened... But wait? BAM! Rince and repeat.
(EDIT: I've wasted alot of time on anime, watched nearly 100 series over 6 years. Recently quit since I realised it had turned into an obession. I's is sad)

Shakugan no Shana - This was a very entertaining and full of magic anime, at first I have no idea that this anime exist, but I was wrong, when I tuned in on a certain channel, luckily this was up, so I decided to peek on how thus this anime do. I fell in love with the story just like that. So, I've watched it in the net and still lovin it.
Plot
Yuji Sakai, a high school student, expected his very normal life to last forever. However, this expectation is quickly shattered one day while on his way home.
The world suddenly freezes in time, leaving Yuji to watch in horror as blue flames engulf the people around him. Soon a monster resembling a large doll appears and begins sucking the flames into its mouth, until it notices Yuji. Surprised with Yuji's insusceptibility to the time-stop (fuzetsu), it jumps with glee.
Just as the monster prepares to consume Yuji, a sword-wielding girl in black attire with flaming red eyes and hair appears, swiftly and confidently destroys the monster, before noticing Yuji moving freely. The girl calls herself a "Flame Haze" who hunts the "Denizens of the Crimson Realm" and the "Rinne" they send to do their bidding. When Yuji notices a blue flame in his chest, the Flame Haze tells him that the "real" Yuji died some time ago, and that he is a "Torch", a temporary replacement for erased humans. Torches take on the forms of those erased persons, but after a period of time, they will vanish from existence and the memories of the living. Unfazed by his apparent death, Yuji befriends the strange girl and names her "Shana" after her sword. The reason Yuji was able to move in the fuzetsu is that he is not a normal Torch, but instead a special kind called a "Mystes": he has a treasure inside him, known as a "Hougu", a device possessing special abilities of sorts, and an extremely powerful and valuable one at that. The hougo inside Yuji allows him to remain in existence rather than fading away like other torches. Shana resolves to protect Yuji from the Denizens, who would use the treasure to disrupt the balance of the world, and Yuji decides to join Shana in her fight.
Shana's fight is actually a long-standing struggle between the Lords and Denizens of Guze. The Denizens steal Power of Existence, the energy that forms the basis of the world, from living people and utilize it for their own selfish ambitions. Some Lords inhabit humans creating Flame Hazes in an attempt to retain balance by hunting renegades from Guze. Flame Hazes create Torches in place of the consumed to save the world the disruption of many existences being lost at once, allowing the Torches to gradually burn out over the course of time.

My favorite anime is Death Note. Here is the plot from wikipedia
Light Yagami is an extremely intelligent young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a human's name is written within it, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, Light realizes that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the New World" by passing his keen judgment on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way. A shinigami's Death Note is a notebook that can kill any human whose name is written in it. All Death Notes are governed by the same set of rules determining the extents and limitations of the Notes' powers.
Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira" (??, "Kira"? derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer"), is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins.
After several murderers, Misa Amane, a possessor of another Death Note, meets Light and tries to help him to do his work but she is captured by L. Light makes a plan involving renouncing ownership of both Death Notes, and all of his memories of them, and turns himself in to L for surveillance. After losing his memories, Light and L start to investigate a criminal group named "Yotsuba" together who had Misa's Death Note. When arresting them, Light recovers all his memories while touching the Death Note, remembers his plan, and forces the former owner of Misa's Death Note, the shinigami Rem, to kill L.
After L's death, two young men, who are also genii, battle for the role of successor. These two future successors are known as "M" and "N"; M represents Mello, and N represents Near. Mello is intelligent, but hasty and stubborn. Mello makes appearances occasionally in several episodes, and does not seem like a very important element, but his appearances will prove to be a pivotal element. Near, the successor of L meanwhile creates the "SPK" (Special Provision for Kira). The SPK is a small team designed to arrest Kira, otherwise known as Yagami Light.
Meanwhile, word of Kira has gone worldwide. After L's death, Light is granted the position of the "new L". Light believes that he has accomplished his initial goal of eliminating L, but he has yet another. Light is challenged by Near in a battle of minds. Near automatically suspects Light to be Kira and plans different ways of attack.

knocks the socks off of any other anime
I'm a fan of funny animes, and by far the funniest I've seen are Chobits, Yakitate Japan and Rozen Maiden. One Piece is funny as hell but kind of tarnished by the English dub work, and incredibly impossible to get into given its probably 400 episodes and running now. Anyway...
Chobits is funny in a Larry David kind of way, in that the humor mostly comes from the main character, Hideki, becoming exasperated for one reason or another.
"In the future, personal computers have developped into "Persocons", mobile computers that look like human beings. Hideki Motosuwa, a prep school student, desperately wants to buy a Persocon but cannot afford to. One day he finds a Persocon that has been thrown away and decides to keep it. When he turns on the Persocon, all she can say is "Chii" so he decides to name her that. After a while it starts to become apparent that Chii is more than an average Persocon. Having much better performance, it seems that Chii might be a "Chobit", a type of advanced Persocon rumoured to have independent thought."
Yakitate Japan mocks shounen anime/manga, pop culture and other stuff, through unnecessarily intense bake-offs. Things like DBZ, Gundam and Naruto are mocked across the series.
"Azuma Kazuma, an energetic and dense young man, was introduced to the art of bread making when he was six. He decides to take the path of bread-making and become a baker right after graduating from middle school. Through his travels, he encounters many rivals and found work at the branch store of the most famous bread maker brand, the Pantasia. "
And if an anime about bread-making doesn't sound odd enough, Rozen Maiden is about dolls that've come to life. Usually only good for horror movies, Rozen Maiden's a pretty funny anime. Basically dolls complicating the lives of school-goers who keep 'em. It's pretty funny.
"Due to a deep trauma at school Sakurada Jun has refused to return. He spends his time in his room, surfing the web and ordering anything that takes his fancy, only to return the items just before payment is due. One day, he finds a web site that tells him to put his order in a drawer of his desk. He does so thinking it to be a joke, only to find that the letter disappears and a strange package arrives soon afterwards. It contains an exquisite doll, that, when wound, comes to life. She treats him as a servant of little worth, but over time helps him come to grips with his fears and in the life-or-death fights that soon follow her arrival. "
I liked Turn A Gundam and the origical UC series. I don't like the newer ones like SEED and Destiny, although 00 is very good and doesn't feature overpowered hero units.
Serial Experiments Lain, Excel Saga, Cowboy Bebop. If you haven't heard of all three of those, look them up.
In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.

I absolutely love the Lain anime's.
I have 3 DVD's of them, need to buy the 4th, lol I'm missing one somehow.
Lain and Claymore are probably my favorite.

me im always watching them comedy animes. anything from romance to harem, as long as is funny. i didn't really liked stuff with must storytelling
Too many to name, but I'll try to get them all.
Fist of the North Star - Badass kung-fu in a post apocalyptic wasteland. Probably the manliest anime you'll ever watch.
Denno Coil - Takes place sometime in the future where computers have been made into glasses.
TTGL - Over the top giant robot fights
Planetes - More of a drama type anime. Follows a group of space debris collectors.
Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei - Funny anime that also parodies Harem anime.
Black Lagoon - When a business man is on a company trip in the south seas, he gets kidnapped by pirates. When his company pretty much leaves him high and dry, he joins the pirates.
Detroit Metal City - It's like a Japanese Metalocolypse.....kinda.
Gunbuster/Diebuster - More giant robots in space.
Jin-Roh(Movie) - After the atomic bombs were dropped, Japan goes to shit and in order to fight the resistance groups that have popped up they start training some type of super soldiers.
Dead Leaves(Movie) - A guy with a TV for a head and a girl with a red spot around her eye wake up outside of a city naked and with amnesia. After robbing a bank, they get sent to a prison on the moon, which they then try to escape from.
Tekkonkinkreet - Two homeless orphans named Black and White deal with some Yakuza moving onto their turf.
Xam'd - When this kid is on his way to school, a suicide bomber detonates an explosive filled with some weird type of spore, which allows him to shapeshift into this thing called a Xam'd.
Soul Eater - Harry Potter, but instead of witches and wizards, you have Grim Reapers and Their weapons.
Baccano! - Takes place somewhere in the 1920 or 30's. Something about a bunch of people being immortal or some shit. I dunno, I haven't finished it yet.
Kakurenbo - 1 episode. Hide and seek with demons.
And then you have the usual Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Outlaw Star, Ghost in the Shell, FLCL, Akira, Last Exile, and Death Note
