Top 10 anime to watch
I will only be including anime shows that I have completed, reviews of the anime's and perhaps some suggestions for my unfinished anime's (does not contain OVA's)
some anime's are also still continuing, therefore I have finished all the episodes up till now, also contains information about the anime.
10.Marmalade boy
A really good anime, a little over dramatic and topsy turvey, but overall a good anime. Its pretty much all about love, little lovers spats, plenty of break up make up stories, very tear filled anime and much more aimed towards teenage girls. The main story revolves around 2 characters Miki Koishikawa and Yuu Matsuura. Miki's parents go on vacation to Hawaii, meet Yuu's parents and decide that they want to switch partners, with lots of little story's involving the other characters as well. 76 episodes long, with mediocre to good music, and above average animation makes this show very worthwhile
9. Avatar: the last Air bender
Although this anime is American made, and its a little unorthodox, i still consider it an anime and good enough to be on my anime top 10. The story line is about a 12 year old boy named Aang, who is also the Avatar. Aang had disappeared when the world needed him the most, 100 years later Katara and Sokka found Aang and his flying bison Appa trapped in an iceberg. The Avatar is a spiritual being who is able to, and must learn all bending skills (air, water, earth, fire) by the end of the summer so that he can save the world from the fire nation. so far there have been 40 episodes, and it is currently unknown when season 3 will begin. The animation is not exactly anime style except for a few little things, but the music is decent and the story line is very entertaining. It has some very bizarre parts, hilarious parts, lots of action and a little bit of love. This makes for an extremely entertaining anime and it is not something you would want to miss.
8. Hunter X Hunter
Hunter X Hunter is a very interesting anime, with lots of action and a fair bit of blood. The story revolves around a boy named Gon Freecs, who has never known his father or anything about him except that he was a hunter, would like to become a hunter also. One day, while Gon is in the forest he meets a hunter who is a student of Gon's father, Gin. He tells gone, that when he is 12(the legal age of being able to take the hunter exam) that he should go test his skills. This is the beginning of Gons journey to become a hunter and then find his father. There isn’t to many funny parts in this, but there is comedic relief. In total there are 62 episodes with 2 OVA's. With good animation, and decent music, its very interesting. All can be found on Youtube
7. Sailor moon
starts off a little dull, but the season finale's and such are simply awesome!. there are plenty of good episodes in between as well. Its funny, has love, action, and an all female cast aside from tuxedo mask, Sailor moon is about a 14 year old girl named Usagi Tsukino (Serena) who’s a clumsy cry baby fat on the inside girl who’s entire life is eating, video games and boys. She helps a cat with a moon crescent on her head and she later finds out that by that same cat that she is the moon warrior sailor moon. Sailor moon must save the world from the negaverse. This show is still pretty close to episodic but still very entertaining. In total there are 200 episodes and 3 movies, great finishing arc. With good animation and very good music this show is perfect for a #7 slot. Watching this show keeps you entertained for a very long time. You can find all the episodes on Youtube.
6. DNAngel
This is a really good anime. Above average in every aspect. It revolves around a 14 year old boy named Daisuke Niwa who when people in the Niwa family turn 14 and are in love at the same time, dark takes over their body, even if they are looking at a picture of the one they love. Dark is a very handsome, legendary thief and his grandfather and mother often send Dark (Daisuke) out to steal things from museums and art galleries etc. Krad is the complete opposite of Dark, and resides in the Hikari family like Dark resides in the Niwa family. The object of Daisuke's desire's is Risa Harada, but eventually his attentions turn to Risa's sisters, Riku Harada. Very good show, 26 episodes long with a really good finishing episode. Watching this is the complete opposite of wasting your time.
5. Fushigi Yuugi
amazing anime, very funny, mainly a love story, but with a fair bit of action. The story revolves mainly around Miaka Yuki, who goes with her best friend Yui Hongo to the national library, Miaka, drops her money for food and chases it ending up in the restricted room and finds a book called "the universe of the four gods" Yui comes in a little later and begins reading the book, and they both get sucked into the book. In ancient China Yui and Miaka are attacked by thugs, but a man with the ogre symbol on his head (Tamahome) saves them. Yui, However, is soon returned to the normal world and sits reading Miaka's story. Miaka is later realized to be the priestess of Suzaku and she must fulfill her destiny and find the phoenix. Good animation, with a good soundtrack makes this a really good anime, with 52 episodes, a decent ending and one OVA containing 4 episodes, it will keep you spell bound till the finish. Should be able to find all the episodes on Youtube.
4. Yu Yu Hakusho
to put it simply, an awesome series. The story is about a 14 year old boy named Yusuke Urameshi, who is a thug and is hated by everyone except one girl keiko and a guy named Kuwabara who deep down actually likes him. Who dies, and is brought back to life, and begins a job as spirit detective. From then on, the story continues upon his life as a spirit detective and it is difficult to predict what will happen next. meant for an older audience there is a lot of cursing, action, dying, sadness, a small part of a love series, and a fair bit of hilarity. However most of it is just plain kicking some a$$. Really good music, and awesome animation make #4 a perfect fit for Yu Yu Hakusho. Most if not all episodes are now unable to be found on Youtube, do to copy write infringement, so you’ll have to find alternate websites. 112 episodes a great finishing episode and 2 movies.
3. Prince of tennis
now i know that it sounds kind of crazy "an anime about tennis, how could that be entertaining" that’s what i first thought, but this anime keeps you interested right to it till the end of the series. The story revolves around a freshman in junior high (grade 7) Ryoma Echizen, who is the son of a pro tennis player and shocks everyone with his skills and becomes a regular at the start of his freshman term, learning new techniques and showing the entire teams life and struggle through the tournaments. The anime is simply amazing and is not as predictable as you might think. It has amazing music that goes perfectly with the storyline, and the animation is superb. The series has 178 episodes and it is fully completed the ending episode is really good. The OVA is still continuing. So far there is 13 episodes, but there are only 10 subbed so far. Almost all episodes are on Youtube except for a few, other wise you can go to www.realitylapse.com to watch the episodes in .rmvb.
2. Naruto
This anime captured my heart since the first time i watched it. The story is about a young boy named Naruto Uzumaki who is hiding a secret inside of him, and the villagers who know about the secret and hate him for it. He has no parents of siblings and never has, but dreams of becoming a Hokage (leader of the village). As the story progresses, after Naruto has become a genin(1st level of ninja) he slowly gains more people that he cares about, and cares about him, by proving that he is not useless, and that he does have a purpose. There’s plenty of action, a lot of sad parts, and an amazing amount of hilarity. There’s a lot of lechers in here (all men), that simply adds to the story's hilarity. With an amazing amount of soundtracks for all different occasions, and amazing animation this makes this anime, my favorite! Only downside is an extreme excess in fillers at episode 136-220,so you might as well skip that. The anime has resumed its original story line already (called Naruto shippuden (hurricane chronicles)), you can watch all of the anime at www.narutomania.com. There is also 3 movies with one upcoming movie, and 2 OVA's which you can watch 2 of the movies and both OVA's at www.narutocentral.com.
1. Bleach
This anime, is not predictable except for a few things. Very good soundtrack that fits perfectly. Its about a normal kid named Ichigo Kurosaki, who has the ability to see ghosts from birth and later on becomes a shinigami (soul reaper in dub) as the show progresses it shows the back ground of the characters and makes them almost seem real to you. The story is filled with a lot of action, but it also carries a fair bit of sad parts, a slight love plot, and its also just hilarious, even in some of the serious fights, there’s hilarity in it and it makes it seem just amazing. There’s a lot of secret mystery characters and things you would never expect to happen, happen. there are fillers, but these are surprisingly good fillers and these are known as the bounto arc starting from 64 and ending at 110 The anime's art work is simply amazing, and is extremely descriptive. This anime is still continuing, and has one movie. You can watch every episode of this to date, at www.narutomania.com
Note *Naruto and bleach would have been on par if Naruto didn’t have such lame fillers in great excess.*
*Ouran High school: Host club is a completed anime, and deserves an honorable review.*
Ouran High School: Host club is simply hilarious, with in depth character analysis, and simply all the bizarre happenings that happen in the series. Things are often misunderstood and hilarity ensues. This show is a little bit about love, but more about comedy and friendship. Haruhi Fujioka is thought to be a male, seeing as she is poor and looks like a man in her bulky clothing. She is only attending Ouran High school because she is extremely intelligent and obtained a scholarship there. After breaking an extremely expensive vase she has to join the Host Club to pay off her debt. She soon figures out that the host club wasn’t all that she thought, and although the Host Club finds out that she is not a man, and indeed a female, only men can be members of the Host Club and therefore they leave the rest of the school believing that she is a man. With great animation, and decent music Ouran Host Club is also a worthwhile anime, although it is not in my top 10. There are 26 episodes and the ending is satisfying. All episodes can be found at Youtube.
