So I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that there are some anime fans in the crowd. I Figured it was time to start a discussion on the subject, what is your favorite anime? what is your favorite manga? what are you watching now/reading now? what series do you find painfully overrated?
I personally prefer horror animes but then again at the same time, a lot of people believe a lot of blood = horror so eh..
So far my favorite anime would be Shiki a suspense horror anime based on a novel from the 90's, I watched it rather recently on Funimations website, the art style is quite different and striking but once you get used to it, you really grow attached.In my opinion the english dub cast did a great job and they used just the right voices for the right time and right emotions. The plot is a little slow for some (I thought it was just right) building the suspense properly and revealing just the right information without jumping to far, the series provides heavy atmosphere and a interesting cast of characters. Shiki is the only anime I have ever really looked to own for my self
I would also recommend Puella madoka magica, a magical girl anime that actually has very intense moments it's quite serious at times and very touching. A very fresh take on magical girls, well worth watching.
Another I recently watched was The Future diary, about a game to see who is to become god of the world by using their diaries that tell the future. (each one has different powers and different weakness) this series is full of amazing animation, great characters and a well done story that stays true to the original manga.
An anime I recently watched but I didn't like was, Wolfs rain, I can't even begin to start here. In the end I finished it, but there was nothing about the series I really enjoyed at all, I kept waiting for it to get good considering so many people recommended it to me but no, at no point did I ever enjoy that anime.
