Because I enjoyed LOGH I want to set some expectations. Yes, it was a lot more fun than most anime out there, but at the same time, I personally did not anoint it the greatest anime of all time. (maybe 7 or 8??)
 
I'd characterize LOGH as like an "intelligent" anime, because it was basically written by a guy who had a Ph. D. in history or something and he was pretty clearly drawing on a lot of historical background from WW1 and WW2. Consequently, you didn't have guy X getting mad at guy Y and kamehahaing to oblivion. Was Y stronger than X? What limitations could prevent that from realistically happening? What if guy Y defects? These kinds of things made the universe more compelling, characters didn't just run around hurling small planets at each other. 
 
At the same time, something like Code Geass I'd say has an accurate representation of an "intelligent character." It's not going to delve into the meta-politics of democracy vs. totalitarianism as much (although it does kind of occur at times), but it's going, lets put a microscope over the future leaders of WW1 in WW2 at a local Japanese high school, and go, how cute is X? How will Y respond? What will happen at the tea party later tonight? 
 
That said though, this is a simplification and there plenty of rich and interesting characters doing silly things and investigating their personal life in LOGH (like Yang and Frederica, Reinhard and Annerose). The biggest reason I put it below greatest ever is....

Night night peeps.

 

Kefka, surely '8' is too low a number. But I'd be interested to see what you think is better, because I'd love to see those xD even though I might not put them before LOTGH, they must be really good if they're better than it.

I'll likely catch some Samurai Champloo and Samurai Flamingo soon. The samurai is strong in this one!

I thought about watching LOTGH. It looks like it has everything I'd want in an anime and is somewhat similar to Code Geass.

 

Then I saw the episode count and thought "Next summer!".

Mostly it's just CLAMP stuff and a few other classics. Something like Code Geass, the Tsubasa OVAs, X, Evangelion, FMA, PMMM, maybe then LOGH. It's mostly stuff people have all seen. I think it's more a reflection on my CLAMP interest and the volume of interesting anime other than a slight against LOGH. In terms of lowest quantity of internet discussion per enjoyment of anime, LOGH is #1 easily. 

 

I think the only one I don't see a lot of people talk about that I really, really liked is possibly X.  I kind of move stuff around a lot though, PMMM is usually in the top 5, Geass is always 1. I could see moving LOGH past FMA or Evangelion perhaps. I used to have Elfen Lied way up there and then for whatever reason semi-abandoned it. 

 

For an anime that began in the 80s, it seems fairly incredible. A remake of that one day would be pretty epic.

Also every time I see Yang in your picture I think of this 

 

 

"because we can only drink good tea while we're living." The man just makes me feel good. It certainly obliterates a gazillion anime on it's path to the top 10.

I understand why you'd put those up there, though you were going to say something like "I think Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan is better than LOTGH."

 

And a remake is being made. Though it's going to be an adaptation, which will probably ruin it in the end. I hope not. I don't see why they can't just follow it as it is but improve on some of the more visual aspects.

He refuses to watch Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill, hates Lady Plutia's voice, and hates "shows that act ridiculous but want you to take them seriously"

 

He needs some help

 

Not sure if even torture can set him right. These are some very grave and serious issues that will require some extensive and possibly completely newly developed techniques to have desired effect.

 

Or we kill him!

 

Not enough GIFS here.

 

 

This is something i can totally do something about!

So about halfway through Angel Beats since it's a shorter anime and it's seriously impressive how it weaves tragic backstories together with some of the more comedic scenes in any show that i've watched recently. Sad and laughing at the same time is a rather strange thing but i like it!

If it was a girlfriend it would be so much easier to torture (the nice kinds of torture), but it ain't right to go sadist on family like that.

Finished Spice and Wolf yesterday and I quite enjoyed it.

 

I stumbled upon it on Youtube while I was surfing for something to watch and saw that it had a naked "fox girl" on the entry of the video. I immediately thought it was some 'furry kawaii crap' but started watching anyway since I had nothing better to do. Well I am glad I was wrong, since the show surprised me and turned to be quite great. Its focus on economy, trade and peddling is really put into the center of the series and doesn't try to simplify it. I found it quite innovative how most conflicts that occurred in the show had something to do with economical struggles and was resolved through it. It was certainly a breath of fresh air from all the action oriented animes out there.

 

Lawrence is quite a capable protagonist and thankfully a more adult oriented person, instead of the atypical reckless, impulsive ones you tend to find in every manga / anime I've seen. He is also not a rookie, so it is refreshing seeing him working things out and scheming when it comes to economics and trade. Holo is quite a well rounded character as well. Her superior nature and high-class way of speaking is quite hilarious considering she is also quite a child, having spent so much time as a God wolf. I did enjoy their relationship and it works really well with each other. It is both quite personal and cute, seeing how it grows throughout the show, but is really strengthened by what they each bring to the table to one another, both when it comes to trade and social life. Lawrence teaching Holo the art of trade and economics, her in turn teaching him tricks regarding prices, selling, buying, improvements and such helps make the relationship genuine in the story.

 

The setting doesn't really get as much of a focus point other than being set in a medieval period, but I am glad that when it came to currency it was not simplified into your typical bronze, silver and gold coins that is shared throughout the world. The show reflects upon there existing different kingdoms with them respectively having their own currency and considering that our party travels through certain distances, seeing the different currency coming into play is invigorating.

 

I'm quite saddened and pissed that it's been 4 years since the last aired episode and there is no indication that it will get a third season. The English translated Manga is apparently only up to the 27th episode and the English light novels aren't cheap. I do hate when I find myself in these types of situations with series.

I finished the last episode of Nananas Buried Treasure spoilers I sad, now I have to wait for a second season. I noticed I usually enjoy the comical anime series's far more then I enjoy the over the top "take my self to serious and try to have a deep plot but fail miserably" anime. It was cute and enjoyable although I have to say that whomever built the "Ruins" had way to much time on their hands and in all honesty probably flunked all their classes lol. I can't remember with 100% certainty but I think Geth recommended it to me so I just want to say Thanks Geth you rock.

Which means around 1000+ people.

 

No big deal for something given priority by the military, especially if the military is central to the governing body. We're talking about huge funds given to a huge project. You don't need to suspend your disbelief that much, no more than a 17 year old boy being a freaking genius at everything and anything.

 

1) I's impossible to tell who knows about Nunallay. Because a friend of a friend might now about her. Bob is my friend. I know he has a friend Mark because he used ot talk abou him. I didn't meet Mark. But what if I one day go "hows your friend Mark doing?"

 

2) Since it's the Emperor that does the brainwashing, that means he had to personally track and brainwash every single person. You'd hink he'd come up with a simpler plan to flush out C.C.

Wha-

 

A surprise Chewin! It's super effective.

 

Glad you liked Spice and Wolf, it's my favourite romance anime aside from Afterstory and the Light Novels are great (but the translation is poor.) Well, I torrented the fan translations so that might be it, don't know how the Yen-Press are, but I will eventually buy them

 

Lots of economical intrigue in the later books, it's very interesting how it's all sorted out.

 

I,e (not very spoilerish) a an entire town gets divided due to their dispute of the ownership of a certain item. The merchant guilds are waging currency wars and all that bollocks to do it. No violence really, just intrigue. It's fascinating and hell, I'd say sometimes more complicated than books I've read CENTRED around intrigue (i,e Accursed Kings/ASOIAF.)

 

And it doesn't really glorify Lawrence as a character. He's neither a mastermind, nor a pawn, and most of the time he's just trying to get himself the f*ck away from trouble.

 

Spice and Wolf really is one of the most underrated animes in the list.
