CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

What are your top ten animes or top five if you cant think of ten. I'm curious about whether there's any animes that most people here like. If you want add a little description of the animes. That is all. ^_^

I'm in no condition to be writing summaries, but here are the ten that I can think of:

Rurouni Kenshin above everything, You're Under Arrest, Texhnolyze, Samurai 7, Cowboy Bebop, Chobits, GetBackers, Vandread (yeah, despite what people said in the other thread), Gundam Wing, MS Zeta Gundam

I like anime with great character development. I tend to forgive problems with story and animation, if the anime manages to have characters I get to really like. Second major criteria is a good story. Then, as you could see, I have quite a thing for sci-fi. There are lots more that I liked, but those are the ones I liked the best.

Now, I do grant that things like Naruto and YuYu Hakusho and Inuyasha do have great characters and an okay story. But tournament type anime and monsters and the undead don't fare well with me. I also like watching romantic comedies and slice-of-life shows.

EK 8 )

1. Honey and Clover
2. Air.
3. Fullmetal Alchemists
4.Fruits Basket.
5. Azumanga Daioh.

Full Metal Alchemist, InuYasha, sCRYed, Wolf's Rain, Cowboy Bebop, Tenchi Muyo, Gundam Wing.

I feel like I'm forgetting one, but its escaping me at the moment. They're not in any particular order, I kind of like them equally, but I do love some a little more than others.

How about four?

In no particular order...

Cowboy Bebop
Last Exile
R.O.D. (OVA and TV series)
Big O

10. Oh! My Goddess
9. Figure 17
8. Kimagure Orange Road
7. Planetes
6. Fruits Basket
5. Victorian Romance Emma
4. Ranma 1/2
3. Azumanga Daioh
2. ROD TV
1. Maison Ikkoku

Not in any order...

Arc the Lad, Fruits Basket, Full Metal Alchemist, Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny, Rurouni Kenshin, InuYasha, Princess Tutu, Crest of the Stars...there has got to be one more, but I can't think of it at the moment. ^^;

1. Robotech The Macross Saga. It's been my favorite anime since I first saw it and it still is. Despite its dated animation, as stated above, I also look for likeable characters in anime and this is where the series is flawless.

2.Martian Successor Nadesico. As with Robotech, it has a cast of likeable characters. It's also one of the few anime that really make me laugh. With its cool mecha and slick oldschool references and spoofs, it's hard not to like something about this series, especially if you're a mecha fan.

3. G Gundam. It may be corny, but it's still really fun to watch. It has likeable characters and plenty of giant robot action. Fun show.

Well, these are the ones that really come to mind at the moment.

TV series

1. Azumanga Daioh
2. Nadia: Secret of Blue Water
3. Sailor Moon (Season 1)

I forget to mention Macross 2, the movie. Its storyline isn't all that deep, and while it may not be as good as the original series, but I still like it.
Synopsis: 80 years have since the events in the original Super Dimensional Fortress Macross. up until now, U.N. Spacey has had little difficulty repelling renegade Zentreadi attacks by use of the minmay defense System, however, when a new enemy shows up, with its own music to control the zentreadi, the Earth is once again in peril. Filled with killer robot fights and hot anime girls.

A few of my other favorites:
*Geneshaft:In the 22nd century people are genetically engineered to
fit a role within society.Mika Seido is a White,a genetic throw back
and because of this has a large brick on her shoulders.Now the fate of
the ship Bilkis and the whole of humanity rests on her skills in piloting the
experimental mecha called Shaft.

*Gatekeepers 21:It's a new century and the Invaders who threatened Earth during the original Gatekeepers have adopted a new tactic.Now any human
who exhibits total lack of human emotion is in danger of becoming a new
Invader and the only people standing in their way are what remains of
AEGIS especially two high school girls named Ayane and the ditzy Miu.

The Soultaker:Kyosuke Date wakes up to a nightmare after his mother
has stabbed him to death,only to discover that the real nightmare is
beginning as he searches for the truth behind his identity and for his
missing sister Runa with the aid of Shiro and the mutant nurse Komugi.

Ravemaster:50 years have passed since the Rave Stones were scattered now a new Ravemaster named Haru as arisen to collect all the Rave Stones
and prevent disaster.Accompaning him are the amnesiac Elie,a young
Silversmith named Musica and a strange looking dog named Plue.

Dragonball GT:After Emperor Pilaf accidentally wishes Goku to
