Your favourite comedy, sci-fi, school, historical, etc. anime
Hi folks. I'm new to anime (I've seen some stuff but not much) and looking for the absolute best of the following genres. Please choose your single favourite show or movie in as many of the following genres as you can. Please list only ONE title for each genre (yes, I know that's a tough thing to do, but I'm hoping a lot of people post, so if you like two almost equally, someone else will likely prefer the one you don't like as much).
Comedy Ecchi Harem Hentai Historical Romantic Comedy School Science Fiction Slice of Life Sport I've missed out a few genres that I'm not interested in - i.e. fantasy (although I really like Haibane Renmei) and horror (although I'm toying with the idea of giving Death Note a try. Also, I'm 46 years old, so that may be one reason why I'm way beyond the manic anime with swords and lots of killing. Last edited by Beery; 2008-10-29 at 17:41. |

Comedy : Jungle wa Itsumo Hare nochi Guu, Seto no Hanayome
Ecchi : Golden Boy Harem : ditto (Love Hina must be the only one I have seen) Hentai : no clue (prefer real porn) Historical : Grave of the Fireflies Romantic Comedy : Nodame Cantabile, Honey and Clover School : School Rumble, Azumanga Daioh Science Fiction : Planetes, Ghost in the Shell (1st movie and TV series), Legend of Galactic Heroes Slice of Life : Aria, Minami-ke, Ichigo Mashimaro, Lucky Star Sport : Hajime no Ippo (boxing), Major (baseball), Slam Dunk (basketball) They don't really fit in a box (fantasy ?), but I'll still name them as they are among my favorites : Mushishi, Saiunkoku Monogatori, Haibane Renmei and Kino no Tabi all deserve mention, as well as all the Ghibli movies (I only named grave of the Fireflies because I was in dire need of an historical anime) |

It's hard to classify some of my favourites in to a single genre, but I'll do my best.
Comedy: Great Teacher Onizuka, Ninin ga Shinobuden. Ecchi: DearS. Harem: Ai Yori Aoshi (not traditional harem, though). Notable mention to the Da Capo series. Hentai: Hooligan. (It's hilarious and doesn't take itself remotely seriously unlike most). Historical: Juuni Kokki (classified as historical on most listings). Romantic Comedy: Lovely Complex or Aishiteruze Baby. School: School Rumble or Genshiken. Science Fiction: PlanetES, notable mentions to Terra e, and Soukou no Strain. Slice of Life: Difficult to quantify what SoL is exactly, but Aria and Mushishi fit in my books. Sport: Yakitate Japan, Hikaru no Go. Too hard to choose just one for most categories. |

Thanks for all the replies. I didn't expect such variations in answers. Clearly there's a lot of good stuff out there, most of which I've never heard of.
In terms of hentai, I see a lot of people saying that they haven't tried it or they're not a fan. I must admit I'm not a fan of it either, but I've decided to try to find the very best of ALL genres, and that includes hentai, so I guess what I would be looking for would be hentai with some artistic value (if such a thing exists). There must be a good hentai production, just as there must be truly artistic porn to be found somewhere. Anyway, thanks again for the responses - lots of stuff for me to seek out. |
