Anime #1 Favorite Anime and Manga?

[Martyr]

Post your absolute number 1 favorite Anime and Manga.

Anime: Trigun

Manga: Bakuman

 

[Fullmetal]

I have no absolute #1 favorite.
If you're going by most time watched, it's evangelion(at least 5 times through the series).
If you're going by most enjoyed, it's FMA, higurashi or fate(stay night/zero)

 

[_MEGA]

I have watched the first season of Shakugan no Shana 8 times.

I wonder how many times you watched season 2 (I think it's only once)

5. Good guess though. Watched the OVAs twice and the final season once. Once I get like 5 days of freedom, I will marathon S1 -> S2 -> SS -> S3. All 76 episodes.

No movie? What kind of die-hard fan are you.

 

[Exegguru]

I couldn't pick a favorite anime as my three favorites are hard to compare to each other:

• Cowboy Bebop
• Steins;Gate
• Fullmetal Alchemist (both the 2003 and Brotherhood versions were good)

Probably GitS: SAC 1st/2nd gig.

Anime:
My favorite in terms of look, feel, and story would have to be Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. Kyubey is my all time favorite character from any anime.
Clannad, though, and even more so After Story, take the cake on emotion. I can almost guarantee that you will be crying in every single episode.

Manga:
I haven't read much manga, in fact, I can count the number on one hand (3) so I don't think I'm really entitled to an opinion on the matter. Hatsune Mix was fun though.

Oh god the movie. Seen than 3 times. Seen the Shana-tan, hecate-tan, ect. specials only once though.

After Story? Never heard of it. Clannad actually ended after episode 18.

Old joke is old, megan.

 

[AkatsukiX]

My #1 favorite anime is School days. Ok, just kidding. I don't have any #1 favorite anime.

 

[Kiririn]

Welp time to flood with a couple of mine;
-Code Geass
-Trigun
-Working!!
-Oreimo
-Detective Conan (Case Closed)
-One Piece
-Hellsing
-Highschool Host Club
-Shuffle!
-Angel Beats
-The .hack series
-The GUNDAM series

I would list more, but I wouldn't want to take the time to type all of them.
(I have no favorite, I love them all ;_; )

 

[shan^K]

No such thing.

 

[Garlick Brad]

For me it has to be Clannad: After Story, hands down. Nothing has ever made me cry as much as that. After one particular episode I was crying for like, 15 minutes straight. And I'm not the type to cry watching shows/movies.

It's hard to decide on a #2 since I consider K-On, YuruYuri and FMA Brotherhood all absolutely and equally amazing, but none of them come close to Clannad at all.

[Liliana]

Dood
Wolf's Rain is my favorite anime.

Favorite manga has to be D.Gray-man, though.

 

[Shini]

Anime: Too many listed but I'll have to go with Hetalia. The characters are quite hilarious and I do find some parts quite educational but some repeated scenes gets too boring. I would not recommend it for people who get pretty offensive with stereotypes. xP

Manga: Freezing (Not recommended, there's blood (people losing there limbs included, mostly girls) and A LOT of fanservice)
