Line 159:
** Brad Swalie as Light was ''fantastic''. I'm proud to say that I loved the English Dub more than the Sub, ''because'' of him and Alessandra Juliani as L was ''amazing''.
*** Yeah, the best part of [[Samurai Pizza Cats]] was that unexpected cameo from the [[Death Note]] characters... Fitted the show's random atmosphere perfectly.
* ''[[Ranma
** What I love about ''Ranma 1/2'' is that even the [[Loads and Loads of Characters|loads and loads of supporting characters]] like Ryoga, Shampoo, Mousse, Ukyo, Happosai and Pantyhose Taro are really distinct characters (several of them are quite sympathetic despite all the [[Comedic Sociopathy]] going on). A lot of them could legitimately star in their own manga series, but Takahashi manages to tie them all together in a never-boring web of love and rivalry. And for a [[Gender Bender]] comedy, the fight scenes are legitimately awesome. Who didn't get chills when Ranma reversed the Hiryuu Shoten-Ha against Herb? Or when Ryoga, seemingly pinned to the ground by Ranma, launched them both into the air one-handed and revealed just how [[Made of Iron]] he was?
** '[[
* I absolutely love ''[[Yotsubato]]''. The quirkiness of the characters, the excitement Yotsuba expresses when she discovers something new... it's like experiencing childlike innocence all over again.
** Everything is the Biggest. Discovery. Ever. -- because, well, it's all new to her. The world hasn't looked so sparkly since I was that age. Only it wasn't nearly so side-splittingly hilarious back then.
Line 313:
** ''[[Mai-HiME]]'' is the absolute pinnacle of everything a great anime should be: stunning visuals, beautiful and haunting music, excellent characters and humour, a varied and fascinating world that combines elements of familiarity and mystery, with an atmosphere of intrigue and ancient secrets... this troper was so hooked he finished it in under 72 hours. Also -- it is the most emotionally powerful anime I've seen. The first [[Wham! Episode]] left me utterly reeling, I was reduced to tears more than once, and the ending of the first story arc was so full of awesome that part of me felt I might as well go home, there couldn't be any more to see. [[Serial Escalation|And it only got more awesome from there.]] When it came to the actual final ending I could hardly see the screen through my tears; no [[Fanon Discontinuity]] there for me.
* ''[[Ga-Rei Zero]]''. An original plot, sympathetic and likeable characters and an absolutely brilliant {{spoiler|tragedy}} full of twists and turns. Add to this some excellent world building, beautiful animation and character designs and the growing sense of unease and suspense as things [[It Got Worse|start to spiral]]... oh yes. Brilliant show. [[Needs More Love]].
* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' is, bar none, my favorite [[Anime]] ever. Now, I don't exactly have the greatest amount of experience to pull from, but ''damn'', will I be surprised if anything manages to top ''Frontier''. [[Wagon Train to the Stars|Cool setting,]] [[Attack of the 50
** I, on the other hand, have a massive amount of experience to draw from. And you are quite right, ''Macross Frontier'' is amazing beyond any right. While we're on the animation... the first movie's is AMAZING. It's clean, it's colourful, it's gorgeous. It's a work of goddamn art.
* ''[[Bokurano]]''. The characters, the plot, the designs of the mechas, the ''drama''. Everything was an emotional twister, with turns and moments that were simply spectacular in formation. Of course, it was quite depressing, but it was the epitome of all those solemn emotions that made it so heart-wrenching. And the ending...it could not have been better. A manga that should always be remembered, honestly.
