Anime I've loved over the years...
Anime I've loved over the years... I'm only listing if I've watched the whole series, all episodes or the whole movie. Some, I'll have also read the light novel and/or the manga. I'll try to list which.
Currently not in any order. Nearly 30 years of watching anime and it becomes difficult to remember them all. So I'm adding to this list here and there as I think of things. A work-in-progress.
Except for Samurai Champloo. Definitely watch Samurai Champloo.

- CreatorShin'ichirô WatanabeStarsKazuya NakaiGinpei SatoAyako KawasumiFuu, a waitress who works in a teahouse, rescues two master swordsmen, Mugen and Jin, from their execution to help her find the "samurai who smells of sunflowers."Arguably the coolest anime ever. At least in my opinion. A search for the guy who smells of sunflowers, but absolutely don't let that simple premise put you off. WATCH THIS!

In the Hole, that's a threat.A 1990's anime made in 2020. For that reason alone it deserves critical acclaim. Watched the anime, immediately bought the manga.

If you understand the light novels then watch the anime. In release order...
- CreatorRumiko TakahashiStarsKappei YamaguchiMegumi HayashibaraNoriko HidakaA girl is involuntarily engaged to a boy who turns female when hit with cold water and male when hit with hot.The first manga I read... Simplistic, funny, well drawn and definitely one of the first to kick-start anime and manga to the West for those that knew before they became a cult. The anime kicks ass too.
- StarsYûichirô UmeharaYui OguraNao TôyamaIn a fantasy world, a lone hero makes his living by exterminating all goblins he encounters.

Definitely deserves it's 18 age rating, definitely NOT for children. Only watched the series and the film. I don't feel that reading either a light novel or manga would add to the desolation you feel at times. Please, again, not for the kids...
