Pojo's Top 10
Anime
Shnordelphlaps's top 10 anime list:
----------------------------------------
January 2008
10. Naruto:
I think everyone knows the basis of this anime.
It's considered childish by some, but I find it very
interesting and involving.
9. Yu Yu Hakusho
Not often do you find an anime where the main
character dies in the first episode. Yusuke Urameshi
strikes a deal with lord Koenma, ruler of spirit world,
letting him come back to life on the condition that he
becomes the new spirit detective. It's full of action, it's
got some romance, and a lot of comedy, due to the numerous
smart-ass comments made by the main character throughout the
series. It's 112 episodes long, and I'd recommend it to
anyone who's into action-type anime.
8. FullMetal Panic?Fumoffu!
I haven't gotten far into the original FullMetal
Panic, but this is a funny, romantic 12-episode series about
the two main characters, Sosuke Sagara and Kaname Chidori. Sosuke
has been hired as Kaname's bodyguard, and he constantly
follows her around through their high school, carrying
numerous large weapons that he stores god-knows-where and
pulls out any time he feels like Kaname is in danger, which
is pretty much every moment of every day. I'm not sure
about the main series(FullMetal Panic!), but I really like
this short series. It's funny and romantic.
7. .Hack//(SIGN, LIMINALITY, DUSK, and ROOTS)
I can't really say I like one individual .Hack
series the most, because they all tie into each other,
forming one big story. You have to read all the novels,
play all the video games, and watch each of the four
serieses to get the whole picture, but that's what makes it
fun. I would recommend this series(or serieses) to anyone
who likes sci-fi anime...and who is patient and likes
very(VERY) deep plots.
6. FullMetal Alchemist
There are quite a few "Top 10" lists out there with
this one somewhere on them. It really is a great series
involving two brothers and their struggle to get the younger
brother's body back using alchemy, which, ironically, he
lost while trying to revive his dead mother using alchemy.
It's a really great series that runs for 52 episodes and is
recommended to those who like sci-fi/action anime.
5. Cowboy Bebop
This series follows four bounty hunters and their
dog--Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed(can't
recall her last name at the moment), and Ein(the dog)--as
they travel through space busting small-time criminals for
money, and barely getting by with what they have. It has a
lot of action and comedy, but there are also deeper plots
that follow the four main characters as the series
progresses. I would recommend this series to people who
like action, comedy, or romance.
4. Marmalade Boy
I guess you couldn't tell by the name I gave you, but
I'm a boy. And call me weird, but I have a thing for
romance anime, and I think this series is awesome. The two
main characters are Miki(can't remember her last name) and
Yu Matsura. They are kinda in the same family, since their
parents are weird and decided to move into one big house
together and switch partners. It follows quite a few other
characters as well, but I feel safe calling them the main
characters. It's a very charming(I can't believe I just
used that word) anime, and it has quite a few laughs mixed
in, as well.
3. Welcome to the NHK
Here's an anime that I've never seen on anyone else's
list. It's about a 22-year-old boy named Sato Tatsuhiro,
who is a hikikomori, and his new friend Misaki Nakahara who
wants to help rid him of his hikikomori ways. It's a very
down-to-earth anime, sort of like a soap opera, only much
better. I would recommend this series to anyone who likes
straight-up romance.
2. Love Hina
This is another romance series about a 20- or
21-year-old boy named Keitaro Urashima and his experiences
with the resident's of the Hinata all-girls dormatory--the
place he just happens to be living. I'm not going to go
into details right now, just watch it--it's worth it,
especially for those who like romantic comedies where
anything can happen.
1. Azumanga Daioh
Yes, this is my absolute favorite. It has basically
no plotline, it is simply about a group of high school
girls--Chiyo, Tomo, Yomi, Osaka, Sakaki, Kagura, Kaorin, and
more--their teachers--Miss Yukari, Miss Kurosawa, and Mr.
Kimura--and a bunch of other random people(and strange
creatures) that they meet. Chiyo is a 10-year-old who
advanced to high school. She's easily influenced and cries
any time one of her classmates teases her, which adds to the
hilarity of the series. I believe Tomo has ADHD, although
they never come right out and say it in the series. She is
always making fun of her best friend, Yomi, for being
slightly overweight. Ayumu(Osaka, to her classmates)
transferred from Osaka. She has a strange accent and is not
quite all there upstairs. Sakaki is a quiet, shy, very
athletic girl who often daydreams about cute things.
Although her classmates see her as a cool, collected
person, her room is filled with cutesy, girly things such as
stuffed animals. She loves cats, but does not have one of
her own, due to her mother's allergy. Kagura sees Sakaki as
her rival and is constantly challenging her to various
competitions, although she always loses. Kaorin has a crush
on Sakaki, which is fairly obvious, although noone in the
anime realizes it. Miss Yukari is the homeroom teacher for
these girls. She is very immature and loves to go out and
get drunk with Miss Kurosawa, much to the latter's dismay.
She is also a terrible driver. Miss Kurosawa is the girl's
gym teacher, and is always looking after Miss Sakaki. And,
last and least, Mr. Kimura, a homeroom teacher for another
class and a huge pervert who is constantly looking in on the
girls while they are in gym class and asking them various
strange, creepy questions. It's a hilarious anime and I
would recommend it to anyone who appreciates a good
laugh--which should be everyone.
