EWB'S Top 40 Anime RESULTS

[mystikz]

Claymore isn't really overrated just had a BAD ending because they wouldn't stick to the manga. F /SN should be higher . a lot of good anime at the bottom.

[LUKIE]

Pretty sure Naruto made the list Stok.

Then again, mass murder will NOT occur regardless.

The murder of Plubby then?

Plubzilla, did you block me on MSN?

If so. Bad form. We are supposed to be meeting up you

[Plubby]

Must have done. Fixed.

I approve of 50% of this section. Claymore's horribly overrated (Anime-Source.com voted it their favourite anime of 2007 over the likes of Code Geass and TTGL...what? But then, there isn't an anime series in existance that they don't adore on that website), One Piece is One Piece and Fate/Stay Night I simply haven't seen to be able to comment.

Ranma, Cromartie and Laputa are love. I've been meaning to rewatch Cromartie for a couple of weeks now.

I've never watched Cromartie and haven't watched Ranma in its entirety. I'll hopefully be doing both soon.

[stokeriño]

Oh don't bother with Ranma in its entirity. The first couple of series will do.

No need to let Ms. Takahashi melt your brain completely. ¬_¬

[GoGo Yubari]

Basically, the first three seasons of the anime are fantastic and then everything after that point is incredibly hit or miss. Sometimes you get awesome stuff and then sometimes you get episodes like the one where they decided to do the "the Principal is Kuno's father" reveal out of the actual arc that did it in the manga. By which I mean they opted to do one long, excruciating episode of over-the-top LOL THE KUNOS ARE STUPID LOL jokes, because the anime liked taking the characters' faults from the manga and taking them to eleven.

Nice to see Darker than Black make the list but then again, Eureka 7?!?!

Are we high or what?

[DMN in the House]

*waits patiently for Bible Black to show up*

[MalaCloudy Black]

What is people's problem with Eureka 7? It's a fine show, sure it's not revolutionary nor is it going to make any huge lasting impact but it's got some interesting premises plus robots. I love robots. To summarize, eat it if you don't like robots and killy things. :@

[stokeriño]

To paraphrase another medium: Eureka 7 is Perfectly Acceptable Anime.

[gunnar hendershow]

Eureka 7 is brilliantly average.

That's the best description I have for it.

AND NOW!! More anime. This time number, wait, 31 to, what? We already did 31. Well, we did, but it was a 3-way tie, so here's the end of that tie. We're only having 4 this time, we'll end at 26. Well, a tie for 27. But that takes 26 out of the equation and leaves us with 25 to start the next part of the list. And, yes, I failed to realize Love Hina too was part of this wonderful tie, that's why it wasn't part of the previous post.

#31 -- Love Hina

(12 points)

#28 -- Elfen Lied

(13 points)

#27 -- Yu Yu Hakusho

(14 points)

#27 -- Soul Eater

(14 points)

ohh nice I've actually seen 3 out of 4 of those, not familiar with Love Hina but the other 3 are win.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Love Hina's alright, I haven't seen the anime but I've read what I can of the manga and liked it well enough.

[gunnar hendershow]

Love Hina's anime is such a step down from the manga. I never finished either, but the manga was... well... remarkably better.

QFT.

It's the archetype of archetypal harem anime. Not the original, but the foundation for so many that followed.

[gunnar hendershow]

Here's 25-21, our midway point. After this I'll be gone for a week, so no updates. Consider this the end of Code EWB: List of the Anime R1, Code EWB: List of the Anime R2 will start soon enough.

#25 -- Byousoku 5 Centimeter

(15 points)

#25 -- Porco Rosso

(15 points)

#25 -- Kimagure Orange Road

(15 points)

#22 -- Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040

(16 points)

#21 -- Lupin III

(18 points)

[Ace]

...ok, thats wierd. NONE of the Animes I voted for have shown up. Sakura, at the very least, had 15 points.

damshow, wassupwitdat?

[stokeriño]

This is very true. I've also doubled-checked that no one else voted for CCS (in case it got more than 18 points) and they didn't, so it should appear on the list with exactly 15 points, courtesy of Mr. Ace.

Shenanigans~!

[MalaCloudy Black]

Lupin should be higher.

[stokeriño]

No doubt Lupin's decent TV series and good films are detracted from by some of the utterly shite films that have been made as well. >_>
