Good God almighty, just one favorite? Thats like asking me to choose my favorite kid! ...if I had kids... which I don't... but if I did, my favorite would be sophie, sh'es such a cutie!
[size=12] OK! Seriousness, here's the top 3 (in no particular order)
Anime: Full Metal Alchemist
Reasons: Its just the right length. So many anime have tooooo many eps (167 of inuyasha? 291 of DBZ?? 621 Detective Conans!!?!?!?!??!?!??!) Also the characters are interesting, well developed, and likable (even the villians) The Ed and Al make such a good pair and are perfect foils for each other. It also keeps the perfect balance of going between the grotesquely serious, to the ridiculously light-hearted; which keeps in well with the show's theme. Everything must be in balance, equivalent exchange. And theres a movie, which always rocks.
Anime: Cowboy Bebop
Reasons; OK OK, i know this one is obvious but it's just good. It has a beginning, middle, and end (it's surprising how many anime acutally don't) and someone dies at the end! But I think what really makes this one is the Music. It blends perfectly with the anime and is so integral that one can hardly seperate one from the other. Stroke of genius to get Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts on this one. Not too mention excellent casting (in japanese, if you say you prefer the dub, I swear I'll find you)
Anime: Neon Genesis Evangelion
I know alot of people will put this so I won;t expound on the characters or the mech or the theological philisophical stuff. Those who have seen it know most of my reasons for liking it. Those who have not should get off the computer right now and go watch it. I guaruntee you that at least one of your friends already owns the box set or at least the downloaded version. But this on is FUCKED UP! The best anime are the ones where you are unable to walk or see straight after you've finished them. My wife has actually watched the whole seriea=s on the computer in one sitting (took her a few days to recover after that) my shortest span is 3 days, and even that messed me up pretty good
