Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

AWE Me's Man At Arms (which recently made news here for forging the Master Sword) has a new video up where he forges Ichigo's Zangetsu.

It isn't my favorite work of his, but it was still pretty neat (I loved it when they sliced open that bottle of bleach, lol).

Since all the cool kids are doing it:

5) Planetes
4) Baccano!
3) Kids on the Slope
2) Steins;Gate
1) Cowboy Bebop

With a solid dozen or so more shows that could easily slide into slots 4 and 5; I'm just in a Baccano! and Planetes kind of mood right now, I guess.

Anyway, I took something of an extended break from anime for the past couple of months, after overloading myself with it during spring. So now I'm slowly trying to finish all of the stuff I'd left partially finished (The Devil is a Part-Timer! was first up, next will either be Blood-C or Tsuritama) and catch up on One Piece.

Watch brotherhood, especially if you enjoyed the first half of FMA as Brotherhood follows the manga and is A LOT BETTER

I guess I'll list my top 5 as well.
5) Fullmetal Alchemist 2003
4) Neon Genesis Evangelion
3) Baccano!
2) Cowboy Bebop
1) Steins;Gate

Trigun, Death Note, Welcome to the NHK, Madoka Magica, and Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu would round out my top 10.

@Warruz I'll try watching it as the first half of FMA was my favorite part.

top 5 for me would be
5. Bobobo (though granted I've never been more certain that a show does not hold up as it did when I was 15)'
4. Welcome to the NHK!
3. One Piece
2. Haruhi
1. Detective Conan

that list honestly describes my taste in entertainment pretty well.

I watch/read so many series of so many different genres i don't think i could come up with a top 5 list XD So I guess i'll post the top 5 im following atm then.
1.One Piece(w/e on Toonami & hulu)
2.Naruto Shippuden(curently skippin tons of filler just want to get to the good stuff already XD)
3.HunterXHunter(im on episode 60 i think havent watched in awhile)
4.Toradora(slice of life anime just started episode 2)
5. World Trigger(really awesome shonen manga I think future top 3)

Hmmm...

5. Cowboy Bebop
4. Fullmetal Alchemist
3. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
2. Clannad (haven't seen After Story yet)
1. Death Note

1. Neon Genesis Evangelion
2. Trigun
3. One Piece
4. Fullmetal Alchemist
5. Death Note

Can't say I have watched alot, but here it is.

1. One Piece
2. Dragonball
3. Detective conan

Since I haven't watched much anime lately here are my all time favorites.

1: Minami-ke (seriously. this is the best slice of life anime ever. Everyone go watch it xD.)
2: Ouran HSHC
3:Squid Girl
4: Haruhi Suzumiya
5: Maid-sama

I'm watching Maid-sama as @Konata had sugested some time ago it's really funny! I'm liking it a lot!

Last night I watched more One Piece for the first time in a month

I started watching anime on April 2013 (not counting random animes what they showed in TV when I was little) and I haven't really watched many animes yet (though I'm currently watching more than 10 animes lol and I haven't watched much lately because I have been busy with school etc.) but my top 3 animes currently are:

3. Angel Beats!
I don't even know why I started to watch it, maybe just because I had heard that it's 5/5 anime etc. So I decided to watch it and it was so awesome. Characters were good and they had their own storylines what I liked alot. Whole animes storyline was also awesome, and the ending was nice too. No matter it doesn't have so many episodes (13) it's good as long as it is. If you haven't watched it yet, you should watch it, it really is 5/5.

2. Fullmetal Alchemist
When I was eight years old (2007) they showed FMA in TV. I just watched it because I thought it was random series like other cartoons what they showed in TV. But when I watched it more, I saw that it was more mature than other cartoons what they showed. When they stopped showing it after episode 40, I didn't think I'll ever see the ending of that series (they said in TV program list that it was episode 40/51) and after that I haven't thought the whole thing. But after six years of that, my friend said to me on skype that I have to watch some anime because it's awesome etc. I thought what animes I know, and the only one I knew was FMA. So I decided so start it from the beginning and watch it to the end this time. And it was more awesome than when I watched it on TV, I dunno why. It has good characters, interesting storyline, good villains and awesome openings (my favorite one is third opening, Undo by Cool Joke '3'). But that's the story of what FMA is for me; my second favorite anime of all time at the moment, and maybe most nostalgic one (Pokémon: Indigo League is also so nostalgic, and Johto Journeys and Advanced too but they weren't even near to as good as the first season).

1. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
I just decided to watch this because it's alternative story of FMA, but I was so surprised how good it was. It did almost all better than the original anime. Better storyline, more good characters, better openings (that second one if my favorite '3') and it even had 13 more episodes than original anime. The fights were also more epic than in first anime. Nothing comes to my mind right now what Brotherhood did worse than FMA. It's just best anime of all time. God of animes for me.

Currently I'm watching some ecchi (f.e. Highschool DxD New), Watamote, Tales of the Abyss and Welcome to the N.H.K.
Mainly I watch shounen, ecchi and slice of life. But if anime is good I don't care what genre it is.

Lol It's 1:30am here and I have school today, I wasn't even sleepy when I started to make this post and now 30 minutes have passed and I'm so sleepy. Maybe I'll go to sleeping after posting this : p

And sorry for my bad English if you can't understand something because of that :s

Nice! FMA was sort of the show that really got me into anime ( I had watched Death Note and Birdy the Mighty: Decode before this but FMA ignited the fire...well actually joining this board was what lead me to get into anime before that, and FMA was just the first show I picked.

I never made a top 5. I'd have to give it a lot of thought.

Any1 here collect anime dvds? I only collect One Piece dvds so far but eventually im thinking of getting other series too.
I have One Piece Collection 1-8,Season 4 Voyage 1,2&3 (only watched up to whats on toonami pondering going ahead do XD)

It amazes me how the Fate series has gone from generic shonen to dramatic thriller to magical girl show.

Never heard of Fate.

Here's a wiki page for you.
