My top 10 fave anime

I've decided to just list some of my favorite top 10 just for the heck of it... Mind you that I have Very Limited watchings, especially the recent things. Most of these are Yuri but some are not. Derived mostly in order of good music, characterization and nostalgia, here they are:



10) Dirty Pair Flash: A classic 90s anime. The main duo did have a nice contrast relationship going. That's what I want to say but they cant stand each other. This also has a second season but the writing and art is altered for the worse.




9) Hidamari Sketch x365: A quirky show that I have grown to like unexpectedly. The simple yet effective effects and well constructed characterization made this anime good.




8) Noir: Mireille and Kirika, assasins. And one of them is a sexy french assasin.




7) Kiddy Grade: A space sci fi theme with what I thought was really good animation at the time. I liked both of the leads and had good contrast chemestry.





6) Read or Dream: An action story regarding 3 sisters that can manipulate paper.




5) KnM: A very touching Yuri that will leave the viewer stunned right to the end.




4) Simoun:
A sci fi universe where everyone is born as a girl and later has a choice of changing sex or staying female. They pilot aircrafts of war. The main two leads were good as well as the supporting characters.



3) Mai Hime: Shizuru and Natsuki, HS students with powers. And one of them is super sexy. I really liked the main trio as well as the ED.




2) Madlax: A story about a mercenary and a loli. What can I say? I really like the OP/ED and the mystery behind the two leads really got me. Plus there is a villan named Friday Monday. Genius, lol.




1) Pani Poni Dash:
A high school comedy that satires with many references. Unlike Azumanga, which is also a HS comedy, PPD's focus is not on the daily HS comedy but a variety of quirky general media satire.

Madlax is great, although the pace is slow at times which is classic Bee Train. Also, RoD is highly recomended )

Noir is also one of my favorites. I liked KnM, Madlax, and Mai Hime as well. Some others I haven't seen though.

@Yi

Ah, then I see your favorite genre is action. In there, I think you might like ROD - Die or Dream, or Kiddy Grade.

Thnx to your recommendation, I checked out Canaan and it was pretty good )

I myself am not that caught up on anime, especially recently.

I was quite a big Noir fan back in the day though.
I think that's the anime that got me using IRC at the time.
Glad to see it made the list. =)

@ Shijima

Yes, I love the duo of Noir. Back in the day when I got into anime, I was really hooked to it too. The fanfic "Red and Black" also kept me into Noir.

@ Kiwi
I'm checking that too along with Umi Monotagari. I think I like Maria in there, lol.
