    Yay Black Butler. Grell and Undertaker are definitely two of my favorite characters. :grin: Still need to watch season two.

    Anyways, top five anime for me are:
    1. Trigun
    2. Steins;Gate
    3. Evangelion (specifically, the Rebuild movies)
    4. Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad
    5. Baccano!

    Something like that, I guess. Trigun and Steins;Gate will always be my favorites, but picking the other three is a bit difficult.

    I used to watch a lot of anime when I was younger, but now I just never seem to have the time. Only two I'm currently watching are One Piece (can't wait for the next arc) and Kill La Kill. Reminds me that I need to watch the new ep of that.

    I don't really have favorites. Just ones that I'd enjoy watching more than once.
    Hmm, perhaps:
    Umineko/Higurashi. I love a good murder mystery series.
    Fate Zero. Last one I watched that I really liked.
    Future diary. Meh, random pick.
    Detective Conan/case closed is an old one, but I've been re watching a lot of them lately.
    Sailor moon. My guilty pleasure.

    Soul Eater is pretty great, except for Blackstar. He's a dreadfully annoying character and is unfortunately one of the leads. That aside, the other characters are great, and I really like the artstyle and Halloween/horror theme (big fan of that stuff).

    Attack on Titan is the next anime I'll watch. Is it good? I heard a lot of good things about it.

    I will have you know that a 24-year-old male is currently the head-honcho of Dragonball Z Abridged. He is unhealthily obsessed with the show, and for the better, actually. There is no person alive who can ever be "too old" to like Dragonball, any part of it.

    As for other anime I like:

    Ouran Host Club
    Hetalia
    Dragonball/Dragonball Z
    Big Windup
    Soul Eater
    Hellsing
    Pokemon
    Gravitation
    Marchen Awakens Romance
    Free! Iwatobi Swim Club
    Avatar: The Last Airbender (if that counts).
    Yu-Gi-Oh!
    Death Note

    and I'm seriously thinking about checking out Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (Yes, because of Hideyoshi).

    I feel like I'm missing a few..

    Mobile Suit Gundam Seed: A little bit goofy with the giant robots, but awesome military action scenes and complex character interaction. Not to mention I totally want one of those jets that Cmdr. La Flaga flew, or the wolf-like BuCue mobile suit.

    Rurouni Kenshin: I didn't see a lot of this series, but I immediately grew to admire the main character. Badass swordsman among badass swordsmen (points from me :grin:), avoids killing, and yet is still very humble. He may be a ronin, but he's my personal ideal samurai.

    Ouran High School Host Club: Along a very different vein than my other two favorites there, but I loved every character in the club. And looking at a gaggle of bishounen guys on a background of pink and roses let me get in touch with my feminine side hehe.

    Cowboy Bebop: Very interesting atmosphere and great personalities in a spacefaring society, so it's a classic for me.

    Samurai Champloo: Nothing super special about this one, but I liked watching how the three characters, as different as they were, suffered the same hardships and found ways to grow together.

    Heehee, Hideyoshi's the best! :grin: And that anime is pretty funny. I need to watch season two of that too.

    I love it a lot, it's easily one of my all-time favorites. You can watch it for free (legally too! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:) at crunchyroll. They stopped at episode 25 to wait for the manga to catch up and I gotta say, the wait is killing me. There's so many things they didn't answer and I don't have enough money to run out and buy all the manga!

    Yay, another person who likes PMMM! There use to be a lot of us around, but for some reason most seem to have disappeared over the last few months. At any rate, it's my favorite series, and Rebellion was pretty good, too.

    My other top series are FMA '03, Neon Genesis Evangelion (the series), Shin Sekai Yori, and Kino's Journey. Basically, I like dark, psychological, or meditative series, especially seinen. I don't particularly care for shounen unless it actively subverts tropes common in shows for that demographic.

    Let's see, burst angel, DBZ, canaan, FMA but not brotherhood,
    Baka to test, k-on, and case closed.

    Is attack on titan & kill la kill any good? I keep hearing that they are but i haven't had anytime to check them out yet.
