Favourtie anime!

So, even though I generally despise lists of this kind as I always end up forgetting ones and leaving them off accidentally here is a list of some of my favourite anime (that i’ve watched). This is NOT in order of preference…that’s far too organised for me.

Full Metal Alchemist
Death Note
Witch Hunter Robin
Otogi Zoshi
Le Chevalier D’eon
Ergo Proxy
Patlabor 1 & 2
GITS (1st movie)
Spirited Away
The Cat Returns
Princess Mononoke
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Naruto (series)

I’m sure there’s more but I can’t really remember more off the top of my head! That isn’t ALL the anime I like obviously, there’s loads of others I liked alot but the ones above fall more into the Favourite catgegory.

I’m currently in the middle of watching Blood+ which is an anime (there’s also a manga - when isn’t there??) based off Blood the Last Vampire (which is great too) and sorta carries on with the concept. It IS a bit dissapointing actually…after the coolness of the film the series is a bit bland. It’s ok…not BAD or anything and I think a lot of the lack of enthusiasm on my part is due to the fact that its a dub (doesn’t quite fit) and even worse the dubs are out of sync so something happens, then 3 or 4 seconds later the audio catches up.

Hardly makes for inspiring action scenes! I think it’ll get better though and fully intend to keep watching. I’m hoping it’s just a slow burner (it does have 50 or more episodes afterall).

Which brings me round to remembering the last truly dissapointing anime I watched semi-recently, which was Elfen Lied. I really wanted to like this anime and was so looking forward to it. Sadly then I actually watched it and was not at all impressed. It had so much potential to be a really good, kick ass story but sadly it apparenly ignored all the cool points and focused on…nothing much instead. I heard great things about it and to be honest am at a loss why…did they actually WATCH it??

Ah well, at least I have the likes of Le Chevalier D’eon to make up for it which I’m steadily working my way through as the series is released (hurry up dammit!). It’s probably one of the best new anime’s to come out recently. And I STILL need to get around to watching Samurai Champloo and finishing Cowboy Bebop. Ah well I’d rather have too much anime to watch then not enough.
