Awesome avatar agentfurrina. ^^ Princess Mononoke is one of my favorite movies. I have to say I didn't quite get Serial Experiments Lain, or where I did, thought the themes were needlessly obscured. My favorite part of the shows is in the intro, the guy saying "present day ... present time! AHAHAHAHA!!"


This is one of my favorite AMVs. Big O was a great show.

I still really like this scene from Evangelion. All this fast-paced action and then like 1 minute dedicated to just a tense silence between Rei and Asuka in an elevator. Awesome. :laugh:

The best anime of this season (so far) is Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The best that finished last season was probably Shiki.

Favourite series include Clannad/Clannad After Story, Bakemonogatari, Honey and Clover 1/2, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni/Kai/Rei, Ef a tale of Melodies/Memories, Code Geass/R2, Toradora!, Hikaru no Go and Eureka 7.

Favourite anime movies are mostly by Makoto Shinkai, and Byousoku 5cm/s makes my list of the best movies of all time. Recent movies that were good were Fate/Stay Night: UBW and the Eve no Jikan movie. Though I wouldn't recommend the FSN movie unless you'd seen the series already.

My tastes are undoubtedly skewed towards the josei-drama genre, though I also have a weakness for humour, shounen and seinen-type horror and drama. Generally, I can't stand romance unless it's made realistic (i.e. depressing) and/or horrific. I guess to me, the most important thing is good writing, good characters and depth. If anything, I love nihilistic or existentialist series which deconstruct the typical genre types.

My favourite anime of all time is Wolf's Rain, with Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood not far behind (of which I also love the manga). My favourite characters from those series are Darcia III and Roy Mustang, respectively. I've also seen:

Kuroshitsuji (+II)
Death Note
Cowboy Bebop
Code Geass (+R2)
Spice & Wolf (+II)
Vampire Knight (+Guilty)
Hatenkou Yuugi

+ bits and pieces of Ghost in the Shell, Naruto, Trinity Blood, and Kaichou wa Maid-sama.

Movies:
FMA: Conqueror of Shambala
Spirited Away
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Princess Mononoke

I need to watch more Miyazaki...
