[ZAPPP]

Slight update of new shows.

Psychic Detective:
Genre - Mystic, horror and supernatural.
Plot - The story is about a college student, Yakumo Saitou who was born with different eye colors. His red left eye gave him a special ability to see ghosts and spirits.

Fate, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel (three series/movies from a novel):
Genre - Action, superpowers, magic and romance.
Plot - Shirō Emiya is first drawn into the Holy Grail War after he witnesses the Servants Lancer and Archer fight in his school. Lancer chases Shirō around the school trying to kill him, adhering to a rule of the Holy Grail War which states bystanders must be killed. Lancer corners Shirō in one of the hallways and mortally wounds him with his Gáe Bolg. Tohsaka Rin, Shirō's classmate and Archer's master, feels guilty about involving Shirō and saves his life using her strongest healing jewel (a memento given to her by her father).

Shirō and Rin agree to form an alliance in order to protect themselves from the pair of Ilya and Berserker, an immediate threat to their lives. The reasoning behind this alliance is simple - each of their servants are operating at a sub-optimal capacity; as part of an incomplete summon, Saber cannot use her full power; likewise, Archer is still recovering from the wounds he received while clashing with Saber. During the course of this alliance, they discover a spell has been placed on the school, one that will drain the life force of anyone within the range of the spell.

I'm not much of an anime fan any more. I prefer reading mangas, but I do remember an awesome anime or two:

Serial Experiments Lain:
Genre - drama, mystery, psychological, science fiction, supernatural, philosophical.
Plot - Lain Iwakura appears to be an ordinary girl, with almost no experience with computers. Yet the sudden suicide of a schoolmate, and a number of strange occurrences, conspire to pull Lain into the world of the Wired, where she gradually learns that nothing is what it seems to be... not even Lain herself.
It's a real mindf*ck, and I totally loved it when I watched it.

Berserk was also pretty awesome, but it's pretty mature, with lots of gore and a good deal of nudity. It's quite disturbing, and not to everyone's liking.

[gomuninguen]

Watch Gintama, people. There ain't any anime funnier than this one.

From the already posted animes, I love One Piece (my favorite one), Cowboy Bebop, FMA and Hajime no Ippo.

[Oyasu]

Interesting post, I'm kinda fan too (600go of animes) and i still see several into the lists that i did not see ^^"

There are typical onces (the onces who have to be saw !) and because of the large panel of anime, i will not tell all but just tell the top 5 to me

I don't watch too much anime (too much filler), but I read some manga.

Other than the top animes you can find on most internet lists, there is one here I see noone has mentioned yet:

Samurai Champloo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai_champloo)

It is simply awesome! And with 26 episodes it is easy to get though (unlike the 200+ episodes of naruto and bleach). It is one of the few animes I will have on my dvd-shelf when I grow old
