I'm sure FLCL has been mentioned.
Why do you think it is the best anime however? Is it your favorite, or do you really think it is the best period?
Yes.
Code Geass was one of the first anime I found on my own and I loved it. I still do.
But there are better anime. Which I never really thought I'd say.
CG is still one of my favorites, but I think its near the bottom of my favorites now.
i think there will be no other anime like it because the animation was the best i have ever seen along with the art in my opinion, when they dubbed it it sounded best in english than in japanese , the monsters and character where so well done , the story was fabulous even though you had to watch it like 5 times to actually get the story line and i could keep on going for days about how great this anime is so yeah the best period
One of the things I find about Code Geass is that it's a perfectly fine anime as long as you don't think about it too hard. Once you do, you start seeing all the plot holes and bad writing. For me it falls into the category of anime that I kinda liked when I first saw it, but would never want to go back and rewatch or involve myself with in any way.
Then again, my taste in anime is... uh... pretty different than the other people in this thread.
thanks, i will be checking some of those anime very soon as for cowboy bebop its pretty close to my favorite anime also, i dont know i think i just like the randomness fooly cooly brought its just something i never saw on an anime before but then again i havent watched tons of animeReally? I'm surprised that you think that the animation and art of FLCL was the best you've ever seen. Have you not seen Miyazaki films or the Evangelion Z.ZZ films?
Full Metal Panic! also had excellent art, despite being an average show otherwise. The art of FLCL was, to be honest, bad, at many places, even dipping into still "manga" style or even South Park references. I find it strange you feel that FLCL had the best artwork that you've ever seen.
About Dubs/Subs, I do agree that a good Dub is good. However a good dub is only a single part of a good show (Yu Yu Hakusho, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, and Monster had FANTASTIC dubs).
I'm glad that you've decently articulated your thoughts, but I don't know if you have enough evidence to call it the "best anime period." There are heavy contenders to that title, and I don't think FLCL can stand up to them.
Your thoughts are similar to mine, however I still find I can go back and rewatch it. There are some detracting points that I fully admit, but I still find it to be a fun and very enjoyable show.
Different taste is perfectly fine to have. :thumb:
@Marill
if it is okay with ya, why not tell me the loop holes you felt in CG, I didn't really see any too big.
