[quote=Dark Wind] Tough questions, lol. So many good anime and so many great characters.Hmm…My favorites are Rurouni Kenshin, some parts of Naruto, Gundam Wing, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Hakuoki was fun mainly because I am fascinated by the history of the Bakumatsu and the Shinsengumi. Yu Yu Hakusho and DBZ are favorites since I grew up with them. Code Geass (I consider it to be the most finely constructed anime of all time, but perhaps that's because I haven't seen the full series of Death Note or Monster which many consider to be a masterpiece).What I like about anime is the art. I also enjoy the silliness in its certain aspects. And, I like the political undertones and philosophical discussions that take place within the text. They can really make you think. Favorite characters, oh boy. Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton. The entire Gundam Wing cast if you must, lol. Kenshin Himura is probably my favorite anime hero (personal favorite). The next would be Lelouch if you can even consider him a "hero" per se. Hajime Saito is a great anti-hero and his life in actual history is fascinating. Spike Spiegel, Makoto Shishio, the list goes on and on.If I had to recommend one anime to the world it would be Code Geass. [/quote] I could agree with death note, but that's the only anime I've watched like that. So I don't really have anything to compare with it, but I enjoyed it completely. Thank you for your input. I am going to look at Code Geass.
