Hey there everyone, how's it going?  You know something?  If there's one thing I'm grateful for, it's that anime exists.  Seriously, when it comes to watching series, my favorite media is anime.  Not only is it entertaining, but it provides a wealth of stories that can either deeply touch us or simply make us cheer on for the good guys or the bad guys.  Anime has existed for a long time now, and I love the fact that there's an unbelievably endless amount to watch.  And so comes the saying: "so much anime, so little time."  But there's also this saying that comes to mind: "The more anime, the better!"

 

The thing I love the most about anime is the fact that there are so many varieties.  There's action, horror, comedy, romance, ecchi, mystery, suspense, mecha, and so much more!  The sheer wealth and content of so much anime ensures that there's always something to watch. Some of my favorite animes are Inuyasha, Death Note, Gurren Lagann, Guilty Crown, Sword Art Online, Romeo X Juliet and many more!  From the heartbreaking moments to the hilarious crack ups to the insanely awesome action, anime never ceases to impress me.  I'm grateful to Japan that they've provided us with such an entertaining form of media, for I am positive that anime is not just a part of my life, but a part of all our lives.  Many of us here have at least watched one or two anime in this life, and there's many fond memories to go with that.

 

And so, in conclusion, I just really love how much anime there is currently.  From the gripping stories to the solid voice acting to the incredible battles to the perverted moments, there's endless fun to be had and to be seen!  And don't even get me started on the music, for many anime are known to have gorgeous soundtracks.  Anyways, if I keep on fanboying here, I'll take all night, lol, so what I want to ask is this.  What is your favorite anime or animes, and what is it about anime that you like so much?  Feel free to comment below, and thanks for reading! ^_^

heh, sounds like my manga rant.

Fool. Anime is just the style. It's not responsible for most of those qualities you listed.

How is anime a style? There are countless styles of manga. Anime came from manga, I prefer manga only because I prefer reading over watching and that is the core of the art.

Anime is a awesome form of media 'nuf said.

Manga/Anime is my life, you name it: One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fairy Tail, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Beelzebub, etc, I treasure them all deeply, for without Manga/Anime, I wouldn't even be here right now :].

I agree. I watched over I started fairy tail 10 days ago but im at episode 137. I just finished Black Cat, Mirai Nikki and Guilty Crown last month. Right now I JUST started Oreimo.

Anime is good when it doesn't use any of that weeaboo crap

I've loved anime for most of my life. Although when I was younger I didn't know it because I considered them cartooooons I started out with Pokemon and Digimon at a pretty young age, somewhere under 8 years old. Then I got into Yu-Gi-Oh, DBZ, and Yu Yu Hakusho(Which is my all time favorite anime btw) in the next few years. Then Avatar: The last Airbender(yes, not anime, but very similar style) when I was in middle school, and Naruto, Death Note, Bleach, Bakuman, and Soul Eater when I was in High school. Then after high school I got into Durarara!!, One Piece, Full Metal Alchemist, and The Legend of Korra(yes, also not anime, but again very similar style). Then in late high school and on through adulthood I started to get into Manga like D. Gray Man, Fairy Tale, O-Parts Hunter(666 Satan), and Psyren. I have collected some of these manga and anime over the years.

 

Avatar: The Last Airbender: All three season DVDS and 2 of The Promise comics.

 

Bakuman: 12 volumes of the manga

 

Bleach: 33 volumes of the manga and 5 season DVDs

Fool. That's not even a good enough argument to respond to.

Manga is a media not an "art style" that is why there are styles within it. So one cannot say anime is an "art-style" one that is false because most anime had a starting manga, and those are done in a style unique to each writer.

Fool. That's not even a good enough argument to respond to.

 

But you did.

But you did.

Fool. You got me there.

From a factual point of view, Anime are just Japanese animations. There's nothing particularly special about them, in my opinion.
