top 10 fav animes

Yes, I love watching Japanese animations despite the impression I give to people in person. Here's a list of my all-time favorites:

  1. Bartender- it is one of the rare animes that calms you down.
  2. Slam Dunk - a classic that all (locally) who plays basketball know about.
  3. Liar Game - clever and unique storyline about outsmarting others
  4. One Piece - you can never predict what comes next in this insanely long-running but exciting anime
  5. Skip Beat - all animes are based on mangas (comics). They are categorized as shounen (boys) and shoujo (girls) mangas. I usually prefer shounen to shoujo mangas, but this shoujo manga has me addicted. It is about a girl's accidental step into the show business.
  6. Monster - gripping storyline about a skilled surgeon being framed for murder.
  7. Hikaru no Go - about the world of Go (a strategic board game). For those who are interested, I would recommend going straight to reading the manga instead as the drawings and plot are more detailed.
  8. The FullMetal Alchemist - a story about alchemy set in the era of the European Industrial Revolution.
  9. Claymore - Similar to the function of a weapon of a claymore sword, female warriors who are half-human, half-demon are called a Claymore. These soldiers void of emotions are tasked with killing the demons to protect human race.
  10. Initial D - about car-racing on hills. Lots and lots of drifts in here.

  1. nice "listening to" choice. i was just in Dublin where there was a very very big music festival called Oxegen. Snow Patrol was there also.

    even though i am big fan of Japan and go quite often, i do not know much about Japanese animation. i will look up some of your recommendations.

    hope your days are getting easier.
