Nanoha's similar, but it's not that deep. (Considering what it is actually originated from)Net-Nue wrote:

Though it has more series (that I pay less attention to).
Aw c'mon, I liked Madoka, and the way Urobuchi trolled everyone by just deconstructing the genre, but to call it deep? Kyubey didn't even know how entropy works.The Ribbon Red wrote:

I suppose that's true. But it's not some random magical fanservice alike most Magical Girl you usually see these days.Nanael wrote:

That was actually the point, also the reason why you don't hear Kalafina's Magia (a badass yet totally eerie negative song) till Mami gets beheaded at episode 3. The reason why there aren't many "sad magical girl series" is because that isn't really the point of that kind of show, silly fanservice is. Also, people crying and the show being depressing doesn't automatically makes it deep. Anyway, all this I mentioned nothing has to do with the original topic (deepness, was it?) If you take into account that the creator of Madoka also wrote Saya no Uta, he could have done more "deep" than this.The Ribbon Red wrote:

But really, can you find a Magical Girl on that same level? (If you could, then I've missed something.
)As I said earlier, no, Madoka was a first. And they played with that fact (The opening being misleading, not showing the ending till everything is messed up)The Ribbon Red wrote:

And big part of its success is due to that (Sweet art direction and music help) The plot wasn't particulary original (Homura pulling a Furude Rika, etc) but was unique to the genre. In short, no, there are none.

I notice I wrote a lot, I apologize for that really.
In topic, my favorite anime was probably Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, it had a terrible animation studio (DEEEEN!) yet it didn't matter one bit in the end, since the story was completely daunting. I liked many more, but that one stands out.

Welcome to the club, my friend. To the 07th Expansion fan club, that is.
Since Higurashi I've read most of Ryukishi07 stuff, currently reading Higanbana no Saku Yoru Ni and liking it. That also made me sort of fan of dai's music among others. That's how I ended here actually.

Anyway, Madoka is the best magical girl cause it's not a simple magical girl, it's more like a seinen.
Nice. I like Higanbana as well (especially Higanbana herself... [LOLICON MODE]).Nanael wrote:

Depending on your viewpoint, I guess. But yeah, it really changed the Magical Girl genre.Accelerator-kun wrote:

You know, that's pretty subjective. I know people who abhorred Madoka for the exact same reasons some call it a masterwork. "Forced Drama" is a word often used to describe it by them. Since, some actually do like their loli undergarments and dislike crying. Isn't Sailor Moon regarded as the best Magical Girl show btw? I recall it having many deaths too.Accelerator-kun wrote:

I started with Cardcaptor Sakura. So I suppose it changed a bit of my concept on Magical Girl. Though perhaps if I've watched more Magical Girl, I don't think I'll be saying this myself.
The point here is that I DON'T like too much magical girls, but I really liked Madoka. So something must be different from others! I will focus again on the dark viewpoint. Madoka got me at the ending of episode 3. I think I've said all.

No, Higurashi was awesome despite DEEN's trashy animation, since epic fights were not so important as the plot itself (and even then, DEEN left out tons of awesome stuff, the format is to blame though).The Ribbon Red wrote:

Umineko plain sucked, the most preposterous adaptation since 11eyes, by far. Anyone who liked it without a doubt never read the sound novels, any of them.
And this isn't even an uneducated opinion. I mean, if they at least didn't mess up the last episode... (no dreamenddischarger? really?) trashing Virgilia fight was acceptable, but doing a half-lazy job with the ending was unforgivable. I wish Chiru to never make it to anime, just by thinking the lazy job DEEN would pull with Clair/Will, Featherine/Lambda is enough to make me forget anime for a while.

There's a big difference between liking something and claiming it is great.
Liking something does not magically turn it good, despite you trying to make a difference out of Naruto/Bleach, they are broadly put in the same bag for having under-developed characters and plot-deadness. This is a broadly accepted opinion among readers, hence me wondering why you left out Bleach from a prior sentence.
Don't take me wrong, I don't dislike Bleach, somehow I keep reading it, but I'm well aware it isn't great at all.

Second: Bleach, between Naruto and One Piece, has better characters, better style, better plot and a more mature story... so yeah, at least in the mainstream area, Bleach is GREAT.

Better charactersOnly it doesn't
Better plotWhich plot?
More mature storySeriously now, I just didn't read that.
I agree on art style, mostly because to me One Piece art is particulary horrible and I can't fathom the mind of someone who could find it appealing. Too bad better character artstyle came to the price of leaving 90% of the backgrounds blank.
Well, that's a good point for you. Blank bg are strange, expecially because Kubo doesn't draw them, he only draws the characters... uhm... meh. I will still follow Bleach and have an high consideration of it, he proved to me what he can do in 53 volumes, now I want to know how Kubo is gonna end it.Nanael wrote:

I see. Please don't assume that I was forcing my point of view on you, nor that I am hating on Bleach. This is the same as the talk we had about Madoka, the fact I try to see things for what they are doesn't mean that I don't like them, nor that I can't understand people liking them (unless it's One Piece art, because, wow).
I'm also curious about Bleach's ending, and I'm still reading it regardless of my opinion about its quality.

This. I've really enjoyed Bleach (I'm a bit behind with it... I'm reading it a bit slowly), so I hope that the final arc will have the same quality of others. For example, I don't want an open ending... Bleach must has a good end. But a real "end".Nanael wrote:

Clannad, Bokura Ga Ita, Letter Bee (orz) and some violence anime but i forget what the titles are OTL
currently mine's "Monster" (by naoki urasawa - just adding that because it might be difficult to find it )
)Still Higurashi due to story.
Umineko as well; though the art level has degraded a bit.
I'd wish Higanbana to join the anime ranks. The previous work of Ryukishi-san was great. Higanbana's manga is quite good as well.

Cowboy Bebop was just fucking classy. It's a shame that I use it as my meter for every new anime I try to watch.
There is really some localization issue with me, though. I'm at the point where I know enough about Japanese language and culture to hate dubbed anime, but I'm not engrossed enough to enjoy subbed anime.

Just look at the animation and how the story progresses. They were trying to sum it all up into 26 episodes by skipping several noteworthy events. If you ask me, I don't think it will ever end. (That is, in anime. Don't expect Chiru to come.)
ikr, they left half of the whole umineko halfway.
But considering that, I don't think we shall see Higanbana as an anime quite soon (or ever)

This question sucks as there is really no favorite anime out there in the anime world because there is so much Animu, but I can list it down to two.
Cowboy Bebop - Great action. likable characters, and beautifully designed though it may be a tad bit outdated. It also blended the action with comedy perfectly with characters like Faye Valentine. Recently finished a few days ago and this is probably going to stand as my favorite action anime.
Azumanga Daioh - Everything about every episode is funny. This was done in earlier years before Lucky Star, Nichijou, or Toradora. It got a head start and all the characters are likable. The teachers, Chiyo-Chan, Osaka, Sakaki, Yomi, the works. It has a a great variety in comedy from the sexual perverted Kimura to the odd but funniest of all Osaka. Its an anime anyone can watch and enjoy all the way through. Best slice-of-life i've seen, plain and simple.

True but I get that with a lot of animes out there. Lucky Star, One Piece, High School of The Dead, Ouran High School Club. There is just so many animes out there that its hard to just narrow it down to just one.Accelerator-kun wrote:

But he's too busy with Rose Guns Days.
The first show really focused on romance that I watched was Toradora so it became my instant fave animu. Then Clannad: AS and Ano Hana destroyed me. And Steins;Gate was simply unforgettable.
