    Gonna have to vote for Hagaren, purely because I never gave TTGL a chance, and TMoHS isn't there. Always wanted to get into Neon Genesis though.

    You forgot to put the poll option for "none" because all anime is bad.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,969 ✭✭✭robby^5


    It has to be Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann of course, JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?! ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701

    So many good ones,but Evangelion gets my vote.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,234 ✭✭✭✭King Mob


    Can't go wrong with a little of the old Bebop.


    Keanu Reeves won't **** it up too badly. (I hope.)


  • Registered Users Posts: 82,498 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Well Bebop comes close, but I also have to Spin On: its gotta be TTGL


  • Registered Users Posts: 875 ✭✭✭triseke


    Azumanga Daioh for the win!


  • Registered Users Posts: 988 ✭✭✭Zeouterlimits


    AS much as I adore Gurren Lagann, it would have to be Evangelion.

    strange.... dunno what happened! cant reopen it! :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 228 ✭✭redshoulder


    Although some of those titles on the poll are good. I think that Legend of Galactic Heroes is probably the best show.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,133 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    polls reopened

    thanks Art_Wolf :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,798 ✭✭✭Funky


    Hard to choose just one but I went for Gurren Lagann, edged in ahead of Mononoke.

    How the hell did I forget Legend of Galactic Heroes??? Epic stuff, copied numerous times, never really equalled. It always seemed like it was a sci-fi version of that World War II documentary "The World At War".

    Gripping melding of multiple story arcs, with even the most minor character's human side exposed. And that doesn't mean any self-serving romantic sub-plots or similar crap.

    Plus it had lots of guns.... in space.

    you know I only just got around to watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann last night and tonight and just finished it.

    And I wondered if there was many fans for it.

    I guess that answers that anyway :D

    Personnally I wouldnt call it the greatest anime of all time but it was insanely enjoyable even if at times you couldnt tell when it was being serious or when it was being a parody of itself (and other anime, please tell me I am not crazy when I think they were doing nudge nudge wink wink with some of the lines) probably my biggest complaint about the series was that they tried to make it so big in 26 episodes that they flew by so many details. Makes you wish that it got the same treatment as Code Gaess (the other anime I recently watched in a 3 day marathon) that it was 2 seperate seasons instead of one. On Code Gaess, I enjoyed that alot, more so then Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann but I still enjoyed both of them so I dont hate Tengen by a long shot. Just Code Gaess appealled to me more in its storytelling.

    I would complain
    that the show relied too much on fighting spirit to solve every problem they faced, bad guy too tough, scream really loud and declare you want to win and your robot will do whatever it needs to do, create whatever it wants out of thin air. But by halfway through the season they had crafted that so well into the plotline as the message and moral of the show that you couldnt complain anymore. and how else can you explain a mech the size of a f*cking galaxy. the catchphrase does sum it up so well, *WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!?!?!

    On the greatest anime ever?

    I dont know so many great animes and so many I havnt seen. I could never give a proper answer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 142 ✭✭Zerroth


    I voted Cowboy Bebop but its not my all time favourite. There should have been an "Other" in that list! :P

    poll closes in two weeks, with a current (mildly) surprising one in front!

    look at the old picture of him his hair screams spike, his voice is not not far off the english dub either , some acting skill it'll be great.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,706 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    Despite my love for Gurren Lagann... I kinda had to give this one to Cowboy Bebop.
    Dunno why; it just felt right.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,685 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg

    that is where keanu fails.

    i reckon he may fit the role perfectly if he gives himself a bit more colour in character. i couldnt think of anyone else playing the role, keanu is the closest to it imo

    Well, there's no accounting for taste.

    Personally, I hate Evangelion.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Moneymaker


    I like how you left out all the good animes.
