My favorite anime would have to be...........

And of course, Attack on Titan.

At the rate people are praising it, I may actually have to watch it myself.

Do you guys watch dubbed  or subbed version?

my favorite anime is just about anything funi made in the 90's.  but i haven't watched anything lately because any anime you can buy on dvd doesn't have subs or if it does they are badly done.  one piece does subs very badly and i stopped watching and only ever bought the first voyage.

but i have tried watching some episodes on CN but the shows looks like it went off the deep end as far as wierdness goes.  kind of like what adventure time did.

It depends on the anime, I'll often watch one episode dubbed and then again subbed to see which is better, Gurren Lagann comes to mind because the dub of that was brilliant.

Now for my favourite I'll give you 5 guesses but if you need more than one you should kill yourself.

[Legend]

Baccano, Black Lagoon, Requiem for the Phantom, and Darker than Black are some of better not over the top unrealistic animes.

I've seen a handful, but I'm not a connoisseur by any measure. Serial Experiments Lain was a trip, I want more like that.

Fruits Basket.  Almost every episode makes me tear up and want to cuddle with something :O

Oh geez, doesn't everyone. Lots of series have been compared but as far as I know SEL is in a genre of it's own. Death Note is kinda similar in that it's very cerebral, but more in a good murder mystery way than the kinda just trippy abstract/contemplative way Lain was. Both Bakemonogatari and FLCL felt similar to me in that they have the same sense of elliptical pace and often the general atmosphere of a scene being more important than the development of any plot points.

I loved Death Note until a certain crescendo, about 1/2 way through. It couldn't hold my attention as well after that until things began to unravel. Still, it kept me on edge the whole way through. Some of my favorite shows are the ones which force to me navigate a puzzle that a character finds themselves subjected to.

Those elements you mentioned about pace and atmosphere are what I think made SEL so attractive to me, so I think I ought to check out the anime you suggested. Thank you!

Props for choosing Sign. It got a lot of flack for being rather wordy but if you're studying or speak Japanese, it's a wonderland of learning and enjoying good storytelling as the characters back stories unravel. Best line by Sora (on why he dislikes Ginkan): "Daikirai da shi..." I also really enjoyed .hack//Liminality for the same reason.

I would like to put Kaiba out there as it's not very well known and equally as strange and thought provoking as FLCL/Serial Expirment Lane. Tekkonkinkreet is also very good for the same reason.

Attack on Titan is bullshit. What do you learn by the end of it? It's just a modern Blue Gender with giant humanoids you have to cut in the head instead of giant bugs you have to shoot in the vagina mouth.
