Post your top 3 favorite animes and why you like them so much.

1. Shaman King
I can never fully explain why I love this anime so freaking much. Not only was it the first anime I have ever watched but it was also one of the first anime where the protag isn't purposely trying to be a hero but befriends(saves) his enemies. It's a really touching series. Anyways the animation is quite good actually especially during this one episode. The soundtrack is lovely. I can listen to it all day. The story is really good and the characters are likeable and they develop. I can say that watching this anime was the best decision I have ever made. What a lovely series.

2. Black Bullet
What can I say? It's a good anime. (Not as good as the one I just talked about but you get the picture) The characters are likeable and you can see their development. The main character himself isn't trying to be a hero but trying to protect those he cares about. (He also protected a cursed child when she was being attacked.) The animation is perfect. It's clear and beautiful. The soundtrack is pretty good. Overall it's pretty good. The plot is okay.

3. Hunter x Hunter 2011
Now this anime is really good. It has a really good story line. Amazing characters and pretty good animation. It's soundtrack is amazing. The main characters are relatable. The characters all have some sort of development. There is action and basically what's not to like? Not only that but it makes me cry,laugh and smile.

1. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann:
I've never been one for robots in shows. I'm not really an action anime kind of person. But this anime, this anime was the single most incredible thing I have ever seen. The characters were incredible and developed, and tbh there isn't one character that I can't find something positive in. I think of it as a must watch now, because it's my favorite anime, as well as being the single most well put together anime I have ever watched. The designs were gorgeous, the music was fitting, the characters never acted ooc or didn't develop or developed too much. The art is fantastic. They took a character that most people without watching the anime would say "Is just a fanservice character" and made her the most intelligent, strong, and amazing character in the show, and I'm glad they treated Yoko with such an amazing amount of respect. She did what she wanted but still respected others, and all of the characters in this show including her just felt so real. A+++++++ anime. Seriously.

2. Meganebu!:
Oh boy, this anime. It's pretty recent, and everyone always said "oh it's gonna be like free!" and then started hating it after the first episode because it wasn't. Newsflash, it's a slice of life/comedy, not a sports anime. And it was incredible. I got really attached to the characters and related so much to what one of the characters went through, and really consider him to be the character I relate to much in all of anime. All of the characters were funny and relatable, and though the show was a comedy, there were episodes that the entire fandom would go on the tag and cry for hours straight about. Yes. We cried about boys who are in a club for glasses. Honestly, it's hard to explain why I love it so much. I'll just say, if you watch it, don't judge it by the first episode. That's not the real reason Akira wants to build the glasses. It's much more heartfelt (and sad but sweet) than that.

3. Tsuritama:
How do begin to describe this anime? It's heartwarming, and is all about a boy named Yuki with social anxiety and depression, and how a boy in his new home (Enoshima) help him through it. Yes, it's an anime about boys who fish. No, it's not boring. There are aliens, secret agents, and a duck. The music and animation is beautiful, and the characters are both relatable and entertaining to watch. It's fun watching their relationships grow and them all change over the episodes, and by the final episode it's heartbreaking and heartwarming to see what happened to their group.

1. Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)
I love the art!! it is beautiful and so detailed.
And I totally love Victorian Britain. The outfits and buildings and everything are so beautiful. And I really can't find a flaw in this anime. I also love the characters and the anime is never boring. It is really funny but has also really deep and sad moment. And I just love everything about it. The art, music, characters, just everything.

2. Durarara!!
The plot twist!! omg. Everything was totally unexpected and I loved it. All the plot twist made it really interesting. And I liked the style of it :3 AND THE KUROSHITSUJI REFERENCES ;D

3. Free!
I didn't like this anime at first but I decided to give it another chance and that was the best decision ever. I fell in love with the characters and their story. I just love their friendship. The endsong Splash Free is also really cool XD

1. Naruto/Shippuden
Do I need no explain, it's amazing, it amazing it's freaking amazing. Never in my life have I read such an awesome storyline, I've ever experience so many emotions in one anime more than once. There's a reason why it's one of the best out there and that's why it has so many haters, it's a wonderful anime, it's one of my childhood anime..I'd actually rather not get into depth with they way I feel about this anime but I'm sure you guys get it. Naruto is on a different level with it comes to how much I like it to the point where I can't explain my feelings towards it. I love every single detail about it, to the villains to the heros. So I'm gonna end it here.

2. Pandora Hearts
Holy lee shit, when I say this anime/manga is intense I mean it's intense. Like you wouldn't see anything that happens coming. Like for me I'm always good when it comes to guessing what I'll happen next in most anime because it's obvious but I could never guess it with his anime. Which made it 10x more interesting. Besides that the characters are amazing there's not one that I dislike. The artwork is lovely, and like the storyline is epic I love how they mixed it with Alice and Wonderland. It's a holyleeshit anime lol, most people might not like it because of the anime they kinda fucked it up but the manga is mainly what I'm talking about. If it wasn't for my love of Naruto, PH would be first manga or not. I have no problem with reading.

3.
Ya know my #3 favorite is always ify I haven't really thought about it yet. I've been watching a lot of anime for the past few weeks so I can't really say what's my number 3 yet. Kimi noTodoke (cute and simple) and Kuroko no Basket (Epic) would be up in the running.

1. Shiki
In my opinion, it's simply a beautiful anime. The plot is right up my alley (who doesn't love corpses rising back from the dead that plan to annihilate an entire village?), and the soundtrack is a melancholy masterpiece. Both "sides" (human and non-human alike) are portrayed wonderfully so that by the end of the series all morals are warped into a shade of gray - you can't root for one group without at least feeling sympathy for the other. The entire storyline is just so sad by the climax that I guess it really struck a chord with me. Not to mention Shiki has Sunako, who I think is simply the perfect Gothic Lolita.

2. Elfen Lied
Many of the reasons I love Shiki are the same reasons I love Elfen Lied. Beautiful story, soundtrack, and climax. The characters' back stories that are revealed throughout the anime certainly adds to the complexity of the character and, to me, the overall enjoyment of the plot. Like Shiki, the storyline is beautifully sad, which makes me love this anime all the more.

3. Yami Shibai
As a lover of urban folk tales and horror stories, this anime is perfect for me. I love hearing so-called "true stories" of every-day people encountering creepy paranormal events or things that go bump in the night, and this show does that for me every time in only 4 and a half minutes. This is also the only anime that has managed to scare me for a few episodes, what with their jump-scares at the end of the episode right when you think the character is safe. I can't explain my reasoning any more simply than this.

1. Hetalia
I could write a freaking book! But, Hetalia has changed my life in the best way possible. I was going through a hard time and it was one of the things that have brought me more happiness than anything else. It brings in my inner child but it also has the most mature humor that will leave me laughing until I cry. And, it's just something I've always needed through hard times. It's silliness, creativity, and cleverness to it, and the amazing characters, it brings me peace and helps me think of the world as a brighter place. It will always be one of my favorite things in the world and I can't thank it enough for everything it's done for me.

2. Natsume Yuujinchou
Oh god, this is honestly the most beautiful anime I have ever seen. It's so amazingly creative with every individual story in each episode and with all of the youkai. It makes me cry my eyes out but it also makes me feel less lonely. I don't know how to describe my love for it I just have so much respect for the entire anime. It's so underrated and I wish more people could also see its beauty because it truly does surround you into a different beautiful world.

3. Tie between Death Note and Ouran High School Host Club
(I'll just explain Death Note) Death Note was one of the first anime I watched and while it's not my favorite anymore it still holds a special place in my heart. It's psychological factor really captivated me and when I first heard about it I thought I wouldn't like it but it managed to keep me on the edge of my seat through every episode. I don't know, just in terms of the way it made me feel the whole time while watching it is a good anime memory for me which I value. It really does make you think and I think it truly does make people smarter by watching it. It keeps you wanting to watch more but with no action but just the thoughts surrounding the series. And it does have its flaws but it's still a brilliant concept and story to me.

*Contains a lot of spoilers... seriously do not read if you don't want anything spoiled*

1. Cowboy Bebop. I loved it, because of several reasons. Firstly, almost every one of the characters were awesome. Spike was funny, but relatable... Jet was serious, but lovable and Ed was just plain awesome, as well as Ein, who was an awesome dog, even if he was a corgi. Secondly, the soundtrack was simply amazing. Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts make some incredible jazz music and I thought it was my favorite thing about this anime. Even now, I still have Cowboy Bebop on my mp3 player. XD. Lastly, the way some of the scenes are done. When Gren was sent into space for his funeral, I almost cried... he was only introduced over a period of like five minutes, yet the music was just plain fitting and the five minutes introduced us to his life. When Julia died, I did cry, because Spike spent so much time trying to catch up with her and find her, that I just plain felt terrible for him. When Ed finally found her dad, I was overjoyed, though sad to see her go, as she was a cool character, even if she was overenergetic. And, the scene where Spike fights Vicious, takes heavy injuries, then walks down a staircase with Syndicate members surrounding him, right after he killed their boss... then, he arranges his fingers like a gun and says 'bang', before dropping to the ground, dying. I loved this, even if I was sad that he died. All-in-all, my favorite anime, but not by much.

2. Angel Beats. This used to be the spot taken by One Piece, which I decided to move to slot number 4, but it won't be talked about in this, since One Piece is number 4 and this question is for top three. Right. Angel Beats. This anime is seriously amazing. Each of the characters is either introverted, crazy, foolish, slightly annoying, overbearing, quiet and just such a mixture of personalities, that I find it to be something special. The real point I'm going to make is: Angel Beats is the perfect anime for someone who likes a bit of action, a bit of comedy, a bit of sadness and a hint of romance. Everything is just done so well in this anime, that I just haven't found any criticisms for it.

3. Love Live: School Idol Project. I was gonna switch AB and OP, but I realised that I really fell in love with this anime. It's a slice of life with music and dancing, plus school life. The thing I love about this are the characters and the feels I got from watching it. Firstly, I love each and every one of the characters. They all have their unique strands. All of the characters have grown throughout the two seasons and their music gets better and better. Now, the feels. Because of the strong bonds that grown between each of these characters, I really just got the feels throughout this anime. It's one of those anime that you just fall in love with. And that's exactly what I did.
