Most well-done anime?
I have my top 4
FLCL, It was filled with inuendos and metaphors that detailed how the main character (Naota Nandaba) lost his virginity... To a space alien...
Kakurenbo, BEST ANIME MOVIE EVER!!! Omg, you wouldnt understand without watching it.
Cowboy Bebop, No anime fan can call themself one without watching it.
Big-O, It was "The Matrix" before "the matrix" was written! But you only found that out at the end! I love the music and batman-ish feel of it.

Re: Most well-done anime?
you sayt no fan of anime could be a fan without watching cowboy bebop-What about Neon Genisis Evangellion?
That just gives you a huge mindF*** and has become the defining series when it comes to anime.
As for most well done-in terms of art style, I'd go with trinity blood. Granted that the ending of the anime left a lot to be desired, but in terms of the art is was as beautiful as it was detailed and specific.

i like SDK and Noir. don´t know why. //SIGN is also worth seein`
Re: Most well-done anime?
Akira, I guess. The creators invented I-don't-know-how many new colours just to make realistic night-colors. I think the reason why did such a mad thing was because of the creator of the manga. xD Not to mention the manga is the most detailed manga I've EVER seen.

I saw all of trinity blood and have to admit the art WAS good, but it lacked an artistic story.SnowManZero wrote:you sayt no fan of anime could be a fan without watching cowboy bebop-What about Neon Genisis Evangellion?

I also saw MOST of Eva, but not End of Evangelion, *cries* because I cant find it!!! I did like the series and the manga is amazingly detailed, but with the officially licensed porn movie of it I kinda lost interest.
I woulda said outlaw star earlier, but its not as good as many animes out there. I watched Onegai Teacher & Twins and thought I was gay for a few days, then went back to reality.

Ive seen both of those all the way through, they ARE good, but they do have their downpoints.twinbladePker wrote:FMA and Paronia agent

FMA got you hooked emotionally with their good use of music to set moods. Hell, I cries when Mayes Hughes died! That was messed up man!
Paranoia Agent, wow its been a while, i cant even remember the reason for the guy, wasnt he the girl's lie about how er dog died? My favorite episode was the one with the 3 ghosts that wanted to commit suicide, but didnt know they were already dead.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL ANIME, DO NOT PUT INUYASHA DOWN AS A GOOD ANIME!!!!!!!!! It was WAAAAAYYYY too long (255 episodes or somethin) and 90% of the episodes were fillers!!!! They never completed their story, and didnt fix anything. 0 out of 5.
Re: Most well-done anime?
Shin-Chan! that is the most well-done. funny and some wierd drawings

Inuyasha is only 164 episode's long, has an ongoing storyline and with a baddie as epic as naraku for him to die completly in the series as though it were another episode would be crap, hence they have his defeat in a movie.
As for the series itself, it's rarely in filler mode, because any episode which naraku is in is part of the overall storyline and helps build up things. Each new episode may only bring one or two bits of new information to the table, but that makes it non-filler material.
Granted that it's following can be quite scary at times, but as for the anime itself, it's a staple in anime history.

Re: Most well-done anime?
And here comes the perfect moment to quote somebody.
But wait! Lets not forget about the incredibly lame comedy! I never laughed at any of the jokes they tried to make, did you?!
They also tried to make a love story, and didnt give it closure, did kagome stay with him in the past or go with that guy from her time (hoho or somethin?) who just happened to have an ancestor in the past who got married to a woman named kagome.
Long story short, they didnt finished what they started.
Inuyasha was a total chick-flick, from beginning to end. None of the fights were truly epic or cool, Inuyasha either dodged then attacked, or blasted the hell out of his opponents with a windscar/backlash-wave. The whole time he prettymuch coming out of certain death unharmed. Its total BS.AuraTwilight wrote: get your nuts out of your purse.

Re: Most well-done anime?
Nows the perfect time to pick apart someones post.
Who said it wasn't? The thing is that it also had aspect's of shonen manga in it, namely the fights with all of inuyasha's enemies and allys. It took almost the best from both worlds and put it into one piece of excellent animation.
That's a matter of personal opinion. The fights in dragon ball Z were only cool in the episodes where the bad guy dies, the rest is just punching and kicking with the rest talking. Is it still well done? Yes.
Not to mention the fact that I never said that the fights were epic or even that cool-What they were was quick to the point action(when they got to that point). Some anime shows have fights drag on and on for whatever reason-This show spent one or two at most per fight.
This is common sense. I mean unless your immortal, if you keep getting hit your going to die, and no-one wants to die, thus he dodge's and blocks the attack. Then in self defence and in an attempt to win the fight, inuyasha use's the windscar/backlash wave and defeat's his opponents.
This is a common thing in almost any anime which has fighting in it-They loose massive ammounts of blood, they have many area's of there body broken and torn and when stabbed/pierced through the body, there should be some, at the very least, minor damage done to the organs, and yet they're alive and kicking in the very next episode.
Inuyasha has his explanation for this as him being a half demon, hence his recovery skills are much greater than that of a human. This is also why he does most of the fighting, because if miroku of sango got damaged to the same extent which inuyasha did they would surely die, because they're human. It's a similar reasoning for alot more characters.
Actually, yes I did. Quite often, though I have a sick sense of humor so you might not want to trust me. Just Go to youtube or deviant art, type in sit boy or funny inuyasha and you get thousands of links which pop up.
You do know that the manga isn't finished, right?
And when it comes down to it, do you realy think that kagome would choose hojo over inuyasha, the titular character? That's be like the focus of full metal alchemist being on izumi kurtis-it'd be stupid.

Who cares about Inuyasha? Haruhi Suzumiya No Yuutsu is the best anime in all fields. It's only real competition is Lucky Star and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Re: Most well-done anime?
I don't think Inuyasha is the most well-done series, because it's way the hell too long, and there's a lot of filler.

Hah! Well done? Both of them went WAY past their interesting point, DBZ shoulda ended after the Freeza Saga, the rest of it was crap that was designed to keep the $$$ flowing.

I never said u did, but anime without epic fights is like coffee without caffine, its missing the whole reason people get it!SnowManZero wrote:Not to mention the fact that I never said that the fights were epic or even that cool-What they were was quick to the point action(when they got to that point).

Yeah, u prettymuch contradicted urself, if he does have such a great ability to heal why didnt he go all out on Neraku from the very moment he could beat him? Could it be beacuse they wanted to drag out the already too stretched storyline even more out of greed?

My sister reads manga, she hasent seen her friends in 3 months because of it, I dont think manga is a good envestment since it can turn someone like her (a football player) into a couch potato.

Yes, True enough. But the fact that it was part shoujo and part shonen is what set's it well apart from most other anime series.
Also, if you call inuyasha long, you clearly don't watch bleach, naruto or one piece, because they're all well an their way or greatly surpassed 164 episode's. Not to mention that naruto has had around 70 filler episode's in it, which inuyasha(while the number may vary) didn't have anywhere near that ammount.

The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya. No fighting.
Lucky Star. No Fighting.
According to your reasoning, people shouldn't be into these series because there's no epic fighting.

I said that inuyasha has a good healing ability because he's a half demon, Not that he could dodge every single attack which came his way. And he can only heal up if he's alive. Obviously if the wound is serious enough, it would (logically speaking) Kill him.
Aside from that, he does go all out on naraku every single moment which he can-Naraku use's his head and figure's that if he get's hit, he will die thus he does not want to get hit. He use's every single trick in his aresonal LIKE A GOOD BADDIE SHOULD to avoid the death penalty.
And, as if it was all out of greed. If the creator wanted to, he could probably create a new #1 baddie, but unless he had some ties to inuyasha's past(Which all of those angle's have been done already) His character would suck.

Re: Most well-done anime?
I stopped watching Naruto because my sister told me it was 220 episodes long, whis is way too long. When you cant finish a story in a 220 episode series you have some real problems. I was never a fan of One Piece. I watch Bleach though and I am dissapointed by the amout of fillers, its getting pretty lame, im actually pretty glad that [AS] dropped it for DeathNote (I wanna see the deal with DN's hype)SnowManZero wrote:Also, if you call inuyasha long, you clearly don't watch bleach, naruto or one piece, because they're all well an their way or greatly surpassed 164 episode's.

And yet in the episode where inuyuasha finally gets to use the red bladed windscar on him, inuyasha only attacks once! If i were him i would have kept doing the windscar untill my arms fell off! He woulda killed Seshomaru and Naraku in one fight! I mean c'mon!SnowManZero wrote: I said that inuyasha has a good healing ability because he's a half demon, Not that he could dodge every single attack which came his way.

Revolutionary Girl Utena, in my opinion. It takes things from Greek Mythology, Christianity, and I'm sure a few other things, into a deeply symbolic shadow play.

If it's quality.. then I think FLCL.. but I also think Gurren Lagann is great as well.
Re: Most well-done anime?
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (WIEF)
Afro Samurai (the only anime I've seen a fight without any speaking in the middle)
FLCL
Lucky Star (Japanese culture at its pinnacle)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Langann (FTW)
I would mention Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni for the plot, but the anime is just an adaptation of the real thing...
