I know there have to be some other anime fans out here. What are some of your favorite series? I'm nuts about Fullmetal Alchemist, but I've recently gotten hooked on Death Note. I haven't read the manga, but I'm enjoying the anime quite a bit - as my avatar probably indicates!
I usually prefer the darker, more serious animes. Fullmetal Alchemist, Ghost In The Shell, Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain... but I do have a special fondness for High School series (School Rumble, Ouran Host Club, etc). And Tactics holds a very special place in my heart.
So what are your favorite series and why?

I like almost every anime I watch, as long as they're not boring. I have watched Full Metal Alchemist, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Dragonball Z, Ghostfighters, Ranma 1/2 (just a few), Gatekeepers, Gundam Wing, and I can go on and on... But I am not able to watch that much anime nowadays because of work...

I got into Inuyasha when I was a freshman in college. But I don't get a whole lot of time to watch it lately. I started to get into Wolf's Rain before [adult swim] took it off. Ghost in The Shell is alright and I could get into that a little more if I watched more. Cowboy Bebop I like also..I find it to be random at times.

I like almost every anime series, they are all nice in their own way. Anyway, now I'm watching full metal panic fumoffu and I also like Hellsing, Elfen Lied, spiral and many more. I gave examples from very different types of anime :D

Hellsing is awesome, I'm a big fan of that one. Haven't checked out Elfin Lied yet. I've heard all kinds of mixed reviews on it.

I have heard so many good things about Monster. I really need to look into it. I love psychological stuff, and I've heard that the series is heavy with the mind screwing and the psychological themes.
Thanks! :D

I wouldn't consider Cowboy Bebop a serious anime series. I think it was definitely a comedy. It was the only anime that I can honestly say I enjoyed a lot. I don't mind most anime and I can watch it. I have some friends that really like it and it is interesting in general, however some of the series can be REALLY boring. Cowboy Bebop is the only one I've ever purchased and own.

It had humor, but it dealt with some pretty serious issues. And it had a serious premise with established universe rules. It didn't rely on sight gags and fourth-wall-breaking like so many series do.

Chobits! I loved Chobits! I have a Chii statue, actually! :D Monster is one people keep recommending to me, but I haven't looked into yet.
Don't worry about the double post, it's a glitch that happens sometimes. :D

I have not heard or seen any of these. Are they in the USA? Or in another country?

If you haven't heard or seen any of them, why bother responding to the thread? Isn't that a little pointless? They're avaliable all aroung the World, and can also be viewed on the internet, to answer your question.

I could never get into InuYasha. I watched the first few episodes and it just didn't appeal to me. I know a lot of people who enjoy it, though, it's a very popular series.

You're right, it was one of the first animes to hit the US. Very good series, too!

I'm an anime fan!
I have a lot of series I like, so it would be hard to name a favorite. I suppose Boogiepop Phantom is one of the first that comes to mind, followed closely by Ruin Explorers. I could look around my living room and list all the animes I see offhand, but that would take a lot of typing.

I like series like One Piece and Ouran Host Club, for their cute humor. I love Luffy!

I have a lot of favorite animes and they all belong to different genres. I have some fave in that and some in these. There are just too many to mention so I guess I'll just include some :-). I am currently watching "Naruto", "He is my Master", "My wife is a high school student" and "Romeo X Juliet" and I like all of them. Some other shows that I like are "Ghost in the shell", "Vandread", "Love Hina", "Avatar", and my most memorable anime, "Rurouni Kenshin". I don't like to read manga simply because I hate reading so I just prefer to watch these manga in anime form. Anyway, these are some of my favorites and I hope some of you like them too. ",
