Oh I was referring to the anime boom on TV.
I didn't start getting crazy into anime until 2001-2002. First major series I watched beginning to end at that time was Love Hina (including the specials and Love Hina Again).
I was introduced to Naruto during freshman year of college and I stumbled upon Bleach on TV, haha. Thus, my love for shounen was born!
Sawa is best girl, sameface or not.
Quoted for truth.

There was a godly channel with so many animes and tokusatsu over here... I think I actively watched Saint Seiya, Ronin Warriors, Shurato, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, Captain Tsubasa, Dragon Ball,Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken( but the name here was Fly, o Pequeno Guerreiro).
Then to Pokemon to Digimon to Sakura Card Captors, anything who got over here.
I had no escape since the beggining

The cockatrice fight was less interesting than I was hoping and what happened after got blue balled just as it was getting interesting.
On the positive side though, our MC showed some other great skill in the art of spying girls taking a shower.
Next episode promises more tits service, though I hope there will be some nice fights as well.

Uhhh.... is this some kind of crazy top 5 that I don't understand...
I had a hard time choosing that spot but in the end I gave it to WS cuz I really enjoyed what I saw of it. I'm sure I forgot something since I don't have a list to go back to and reference for when I"m making lists. If someone mentions an anime I like better I'll revise.
Looks like I've found myself in hot water.

But... I mean... it's just a straight adaptation of a kdrama. It even had a live action ending with the original actors! lol
The hottest, baby.
That's fine. It was still good enough for me.
No particular order:
Planetes
Code Geass
Spice and Wolf
Dennou Coil
Cowboy Bebop
Madoka Magica
Gurren Lagann
Those series rise to the top for me. And I've seen a fair amount of shows that I also didn't like. It sucks because I try to ask questions and research shows before I start since I don't like wasting time. I guess the good shit justifies sitting through the bad. I wanna watch more good shit, but I never know what I'm going to like until I get started with one.

That reminded me, go read Annarasumanara. If you can stand the webtoon art, you will probably love it

You're saying a Kdrama is better than whatever other anime you could slot in there? That's pretty harsh.

It doesn't reach the same level as your earlier ones, but that's ok.

Not really. I told you, I couldn't think of anything when writing that so I'm pretty sure there are better but I just haven't thought of it. It just happens taht I was thinking about WS and it was good enough for me to put it as #5. T_T WHY YOU HATE ME FIREHAWK?!

And so ends one of the best anime I've seen in years. A fantastic tale, the kind you only see once in ten years. It makes me depressed as fuck to know so little people know about it and watched it. If i could back in time, i'd punch myself in the face for not having watched it sooner. From now on, i shall make my quest on the Internet to have more people watch it!
Some comments on the plot:

I wonder if Helga and Thoma remember what happened. Agi said they would forget about their past lives, but did they also forget their adventure time together? Also, if it had aired today, i bet there would have been shitons of people getting mad at the Soran/Tina/Sesu love triangle and how it ended, ahah.
Also
the Extended Ending. Holy Balls. I'm so glad they got their happy ending, because holy fuck, if i had an heart i would cry like a little bitch ;_; Soreto with her father was the most sad for me.
I see Hyouka avatars have become a theme since I last checked in. Well I'll join in with the great Empress then. Irisu <3
I didn't think Guilty Crown was that bad but when you've got people from Code Geass and Death Note working on it, I was always expecting over the top, silly, contrived type plot twists and seeing how they were going to one up themselves each successive episode. Looking at it from that point of view I actually found it entertaining.
It actually has good production values and music though.
While I don't hate it to the degree as many in AnimeGaf do, I certainly don't love it like the general anime fan community seems to enjoy it either.
It did introduce me to the song secret base, although I also enjoy the version first used in Kyō no Go no Ni, and Ai Kayano though. She's certainly been in a lot of shows just these past couple years and I'm currently enjoying her character Mayaka in Hyouka.
I guess it's just me but I never really had a problem telling Sawa and Sakai apart.
Sawa is wearing twin tails and has lighter brown hair whereas Sakai has a ponytail and darker more black hair.
Sawa usually dressed more outgoing with not having her vest on her uniform and just her white dress shirt or her other slightly more revealing outfit when she's out. Sakai on the other hand is usually wearing the vest on her uniform and not as flashy.
Also, personality wise Sawa is usually more outgoing whereas Sakai is usually more quite and reserved in her demeanor.

Never had it but it has 2 awesome things, Rum and Raisins. How can it suck?
They don't go with the third thing, ice cream.

Well, good luck! I'm glad you loved it, but I've been trying to get more people to watch it for years, with little success.

Kyouko likes it so I will reserve my judgement!

Kimi to natsu no owari shourai no yume Ookina kibou wasurenai.
Even though the 5-2 version has Kobayashi, it's just way too busy because they need to fit in 6 idorus and give them each a line. I haven't listened to the other one though.
Aren't you one of those Yuru Yuri crazies?!
