This is a pretty simple thread, just go into detail about why you like (or hate) certain animes. You can talk about arts styles, characters, plot, things you like about stuff you hate and vice versa, etc. Please do not list more than 5 animes, and any spoilers are to be put in spoiler tabs, not the whole explaination, but just spoiler portions.
Any who, my animes:
Attack on Titan: I love this so much due to catchy music, great character development makes me love everyone, and as im writing this im watching it. My only problem is that all the unnessisary blood is not needed at all
also annie vs eren (titans) is amazing
Soul eater: I love every character to no end, the art style is one of the best ive ever seen, the first season main theme is gr8 m8, and i could just curl up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn
Sword art online: art and music is some of my favorite, and i thought it was going to be amazing... then episode 11 came along and made it a trash anime.
 
Welp, my reply won't be so detailed but I'll try.
My favorite anime's so far are Shirokuma Caffe, Naruto and Naruto Shippuden (Naruto Gaiden is trash), Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Eater.
Naruto and Naruto Shippuden are my first animes I've ever watched and though it seemed like it will never end, it did, and I was so happy! :D But then Naruto Gaiden came out and it's thrash :mad: They've seriously gone too far with the series and they should stop.
Soul Eater was perfect and I loved that anime's story along with the soundtrack :D
Fullmetal Alchemist is also perfect, maybe a little bit complicated but if you read manga you should be fine (I think o_O )
And finally, my personal favorite, Shirokuma Caffe, oh my god that one is so perfect :D maybe a little bit childish but it's perfect for learning japanese and I love all the Japanese puns :giggle:

Anime I like. Death Note. It was really clever and it had a great cliffhanger at the end. The music was great too.
Anime I don't like as much: Neon Genesis Evangelion. Parts of it just didn't make sense at all like how Shinji said he gave up the first time but then he keeps coming back. The ending was really strange.

Animé I love:
Ergo Proxy:
Earth is destroyed, humanity banished to domed cities. The series starts in a seemingly Utopian city called Romdeau. The whole series centres about the question what it is to be human. There two major plotpoints, one being the Autoreivs (helperrobots) becoming self-aware, hence the "Ergo" in the title. The other is the existence of godlike creatures keeping the domed cities alive; proxies.

The plot is amazing, the graphics are beautiful, the characters are deep, the story is intriguing, strong philosophical questions, a lot of references to English literature, etc, etc. Watch it. Please. It's not a light animé (don't watch it for laughs), you'll have to think to get the message and honestly some moments can be quite depressing, but it is breathtaking. And they got Radiohead Paranoid Android as a theme song which fits beautifully.

Animé I hate:
Death Note
. I watched quite a long stretch of it because I was told it would be fun. Why do people say it's so great? The characters are completely flat, even (or maybe especially) the main. Their emotions (if any) aren't logical with the situation at all
"Meh I'm bored, let's kill people."
. They also try to depict a genius without even having a clue of what a genius is. This is quite a childish idea of a 'genius'. Someone who makes impossible complicated and often quite flawed plans that seemingly by accident work? Really? There is some nice tension though which would maybe be enough to redeem the animé, if they had stopped after
the death of L. But no they had to ruin the moment and add a full saga of flawed L clones.
. I stopped watching after that.

Of course i watched some other stuff too, but those are all in-betweens.

I seen many anime growing up but I have one that makes me love and hate it at the same time...

Attack on Titan.

I love this anime so much, I love all the characters and I enjoy the story so much! I am overjoyed to have been introduced to it by my sister.

I hate it however how no matter who you love as a character your feelings will be smashed, stepped on, blower to oblivion, eaten only to be vomited back up as a crystal never to be felt again.

But I guess it's only done that way so you can relate to the characters when they lose a loved one...I guess.

Right now my favorite animes are: Devil Survivor 2 The Animation, Angel Beats, Hetalia, and Attack on Titan
i haven't finished Devil Survivor 2 yet but so far its a really interesting anime and i love it :D

Angel Beats is one of my fave animes for the fact that its the first anime ever to actually make me cry its funny, serious, and heartbreaking all at the same time and because of this anime i have no heart BECAUSE ITS SHATTERED

Hetalia is awesome because its one of the funniest animes i have ever seen and probably the longest series i have watched by far and its the kind of anime that once you enter the fandom you cant escape so your stuck in the depths of the abyss watching hetalia for the rest of your life

And Attack on Titan is one of the best animes in my opinion. i have 3 posters, a survey corps jacket, and a ton of these little charms that i put on my backpack that are the characters (i currently have 2 Levis, 2 Erens, Armin, Mikasa, Hanji, Jean, and Annie) plus theres quite a few people at my school who love it too but it crushes your emotions to no end and almost every time you get a favorite character THEY ALWAYS DIE :mad:

I loved Soul Eater. I loved how goofy it was. I also liked Blood Plus ok. It was a little overly bloody for my taste, but the scenes with Saya and Kai were sweet. I'm not mentioning Pandora hearts because I still need to finish it, but this far I'm addicted.

I absolutely HATED Highschool of the Dead. Not only dislike it because of the gore, but the characters are just blegh! I lost ALL respect for Rosario+Vampire after the episode where the teacher goes nude, At the time I saw it, my thirteen-year-old mind didn't exactly understand, or expect, that scene.

Nice reviews! But I have to ask what you expected with blood plus, that basically means more blood.
 
Love: Neon Genesis Evangelion. There's just so much to think about, and it has awesome fight scenes. And I don't care what other people say, the ending makes perfect sense to me (I have seen EoE like 3 or 4 times, but...). I really like episodes 18 and 19 (the Fight with Bardiel in 18 was so great, and the fight with Zeruel in 19 was just awesome. The part where Eva 01 kills Leliel in episode 16 was also awesome).
Hate: I hate Rebuild of Evangelion, mainly because it took pretty much everything that made Evangelion so great out a window and then did it's own thing. It's pretty much just a generic mecha series, and as much as I love mecha series, Rebuild of Evangelion just doesn't live up to it's name. Also Mars of Destruction, and Skelter+Heaven. Why? Well, see for yourself:

Alright so from the list you gave you sound like you haven't seen to mush anime so ill give three that cover a bunch of different genres. I am vary picky about the music btw

Angel beats! this is a great funny action anime and damn the ending is just amazing, it is thirteen episodes long so you can watch it in 4hours so one weekend you should be hooked by the first episode. Angel beats is an anime about a highschool student who wakes up in purgatory with no memory of his past life, to find out that they are at war with the student council president. you should enjoy it Excellent music and animation.

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. this anime is full of action and has an amazing story that will keep you glued to your seat it is 5 seasons long, worth every episode. this anime is about two brothers that are on quest to regain their original bodies after preforming forbidden alchemy. its so good funny lots of action there is blood but not unnecessarily so.

Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works. this anime is about Aa war between seven mages that each have summoned one heroic spirit to fight for them in this war, the victor of the war will receive an unlimited wish granting device called the holy grail. This anime I enjoyed greatly make sure you watch fate/Zero first high action some blood actually in Zero there is a pretty decent amount for a short time lots of action some good comedy, great music, and deep story driven characters.

I love naruto , i finished it 5 months ago.
I like the battles and the characters were good.
It was a good idea to do a child who was very stupid but at the end, he became the stronger of his village.
i also like the diferent eyes :sharingan,byakugan.
-Fairy Tail is also one of my favourite with natsu a man who became more and more strong.
-Accel world and Sword art online are good too.
i want to be in a virtual game like them
those anime are very good and i hope there will be more like them

OK I realize once my reply goes up, I'll die but...

Fairy Tail- I'm so sorry it just wasn't good for me, I at least watched episodes 1 and 2 by then I gave up, It just really never struck my interest. I don't mind if other people like it, but I just don't like it.

Angel Beats - DAMN THAT ENDING WAS AMAZING. It was an amazing anime, great ending, and better characters. Its about a highschool student that wakes up without any memory of his past life. I really don't want to go into great detail but watch it its amazing!

Hetalia, Hetalia World Series, Hetalia Beautiful World, and Hetalia The World Twinkle- All 7 seasons, I haven't finished them all but I'm on season 4. It turns history into something actually funny. Once I started watching this I aced all my history tests and don't regret it. The problem is, you'd never thought you'd ship countries until now.

Since everyone keeps saying anime they love for the most part I'll just say those I'm not fond of.


Sword Art Online: Just a terrible anime. It has a pretty style to it and it was good at first but took a dive and became harem the anime and the main character is the worst offender of a Mary Sue ever. Just terrible.

I've seen people hate soul eater due to it's art style. I really like the FMA series...the plot...the characters....the art.....the music....just gaah it's like my favourite anime right now. I also like soul eater for it's characters. I liked ouran highschool for it's comedy and characters. I don't really like Naruto, never really have done
