30 Day Anime Challenge: Day 2

Day 2 - Favorite anime You’ve watched so far

Wow… This is extremely tough.

1) Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (2009-2010)

This anime is brilliant. I love it. There is a lot of action and yet explores the human relationships- between brothers, friends, sweethearts/lovers. It also deals with human emotions and characters. It is a must watch!

Other notable mention…

2) Rurouni Kenshin (1996-1998)

I love Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X). However, the plot after episode 62 does not follow the manga, which lead to the downfall of the anime. It would have been my number 1 favourite anime if it followed the manga faithfully. Hence, I am waiting for the highly anticipated second remake of Rurouni Kenshin to come out… :D

3) Blood+ (2005-2006)

Then we have Blood+, which has 50 episodes but it is so depressing that I cannot rewatch it without dreading it. This anime isn’t as well-rounded  and a lot more twisted compared to FMA: Brotherhood

4) Toshokan Sensou (2008)

Toshokan Sensou (Library War) has wit, action and romance… :) And it’s only 13 episodes long. Good show for someone who has the lack of time.

5) Ouran High School Host Club (24 episodes)
This is a great light hearted anime with a lot of laughter. The anime isn’t as depressing as the manga. One of the perks of this anime is that it has a solid ending that does not require a second season (unlike Skip Beat!)
6) Gundam 00 (two seasons + movie)
It deals with politics and the idea of war. It is one of the many gundam series that are around. I have only watched Gundam 00 and Gundam Seed. I prefer Gundam 00 because it is less melodramatic compared to the latter. One word of advice though, don’t watch the movie.
7) Kimi Ni Todoke (2 seasons)
Sweet! This is a SWEET story that leaves me extremely happy after every anime. I could always count on this anime to leave a silly smile on my face each time I’m done.
8) Ao No Exorcist- it is still showing in Japan but the first 12 episodes are quite good. The plot is rather unique. :)
