Petro's Top Anime

I must have watched through this series a thousand times. It never gets old. Season 2 (Next) is the best. I didn't think the two new seasons were that amazing, but the animation was beautiful. My favourite thing about this series is that you get detailed character development with each character - and there are many! The romantic subtleties and the way Slayers can flip from light-hearted comedy to serious topics is amazing.

If you know anything about this series, you know the manga outshines the anime (might be my favourite manga), but there's a special place in my heart for the anime too. The last few episodes are pretty bad - basically no animation. However, as someone with a psych degree, the inner dialogue featured throughout this series grips me every time. I also really like the music and the mixed visual media. It's unfortunate that it had low ratings when it aired because I think it would have been brilliant to see it fully-funded all the way through.

What can I say? Fell in love with this one. The character development is amazing. I love that so many psychological issues among the characters are touched upon. I hope that someday they will make a second season, despite the few discrepancies between the anime and manga. It definitely has the fanbase for it.

It's been ages since I watched Kenshin, so I won't make detailed comments, but it's an absolute classic. Can't wait to watch it again.

I love when comedy and serious psychological development are mixed. There's not much of a story to Trigun, but it's still beautiful.

If you're anywhere near my age, you grew up with DBZ and you suffered through the 5-episode power-ups just like me. We all know that that is where it loses a lot of points. I wish there was more romance, but I do love the friendships and bonding. I was particularly fond of the Gohan/Piccolo bond when I was growing up.

Anyway, I don't know man, this shit was just always so cool! I'd like to see what DBZ Kai did with it someday.

#1 psychological mindfuck.

A classic romance, so it's a bit cheesy at times, but I love the variety and diversity of the characters.
