Mostly the same for me. But I would kick out Elfen Lied and put Higurashi instead. But I did like Elfen Lied a lot too. It was just too short

[Takuto19]

1. Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
2. Kanon 2006
3. Clannad (might be higher when it's finished)
4. Death Note
5. Code Geass or Nodame Cantabile

Heh, i think i will tryout Higurashi, dark anime, am i right? The reason that Elfen Lied is my favorite anime is because its short. Elfen Lied holds so much meaning into it( i wont go into detail). And the ending(reminds me of lilium) , was to let us imagine Lucy as alive( as a real human since her horns were blown off), but to reflect on the past. It was definate that Lucy was dead since she walked into suicide. No point in continuing an ended plot. Code Geass and Death Note's main characters both got consumed by their powers in the end and forgetting their purpose. Death Note should have ended when L died and Code Geass just messed up in the end of the 1st season( lost its logic).

I have similar thoughts ....was looking for a good list for unseen anime, think Ill watch Gantz since Ive kept it in the dark for a while.
Ill say mine then :

1-Elfen Lied
2-Code Geass
3-Death Note
4-Tsukihime
5-Fate/Stay Night

[minhtam1638]

I'll give this a shot.

1. Shakugan no Shana. The first anime I've ever truly watched not aired on USA's Cartoon Network... or TV for that matter.

2. Kanon 2006. Would have been #1 if I wasn't biased toward Shana. Absolutely flawless, where there are no complaints whatsoever. It is the best anime as of now.

3. Clannad. Fairly new, but it has caught my attention, plus it is being produced by Kyoto Animation, the same group who did Kanon 2006.

4. Hayate no Gotoku. I'm also a comedy guy, and this has got to be one of the most hilarious comedys I have seen.

5. Cardcaptor Sakura. An old-time favorite of mine. Sakura was too cute to resist.

Well I have Top 5 Anime Favorites For this Fall
1) Kaiji
2)Shugo Chara!
3) Hero tales
4)Clannad
5)Myself Yourself
Really Very Good and Wonderful Anime

[Shiori Zuhon]

My top 5 anime favourites:-

1. Fullmetal Alchemist
2. Fruits Basket
3. Death Note
4. Sailor Moon
5. Blood+

I would like to say that I also liked Elfen Lied, Fate/Stay Night and Wolf's Rain too. Anime that didn't get my vote are Claymore (poor ending), Kaze no Stigma (poor character developments) and Gantz (too much profanities and perversion). Hellsing and Ergo Proxy are more than confusing to me.

Higurashi
NHK ni yokosou
Outlaw Star

[Screwtape]

- Vampire Princess Miyu (atmospheric gothic horror)
