I miss Y'all!!!! Where Y'all at?
Ya Straight!?
Let us make babies....
Wait... Ye checked? Ye want some? Ye got some? Where ye at!?
Let's do it.
Ok, For starters, I won't officially have my internet up till this Monday at eight o' clock PM. So if any certain trolls are still waiting for me, wait longer. I'll be there. Also, when the internet does come up, and after I finish my homework OF COURSE!!!!! I will hopefully be able to broadcast as well. Problem is, since the internet hasn't been working, haven't been able to test out my whole broadcasting POWER!!!... yet.
But the time I have had has not been wasted. In this week I have been doing something CRAZY AND PRODUCTIVE!!!
Playing games and watching Anime.
Don't get me wrong, this is my life, just as of late I have really been unable to dedicate any time to a certain Anime and/or Video game.
So, because of my sudden surge of anime... I just finished 50 episodes of Bleach, Koi Kaze, Started Basilisk and Elfen Lied and Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, I will now be creating my TOP TEN ANIME OF ALL TIME.
And that time is now.
Number Ten!
A slow Anime, I will give it that. But the world it presents is so interesting... that it is honestly hard to turn away once you have started. This anime is a beautiful interpretation of an online gaming world where a player is stuck in the program, while their body is unconcious in the real world. At this point in time the program begins to... not necessarily glitch, but to change, forcing all to fight for the main characters life, and possibly their own. Damn good music as well.
Number NINE!!!!
OK, I know there is a lot of... "OMFG WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE THAT ANIME!!?!?!?!?!!! YOU IS NOOB AT ANIME YOU KNOWS NOTHING!!?!?!?!"
Well to you I say shut the fuck up, you are an ignorant teenager who knows nothing about what an anime is, nor what it can represent as a whole.
Now.... don't get me wrong, the fillers in this anime are shit, but lets go ahead and say the first.... 120 episodes?
I can't remember the exact number, basically until Sasuke runs away. They were amazing. It has it's flaws, but this anime does wonders in character creation, Creativity and design. The story is very entertaining, and at time, a little sad. I don't remember tears flowing from this anime, but I do remember saying such things as "... Aw"
This anime was my first anime that I ever downloaded via Torrent, Back in 2004. If you want to watch this anime... NEVER watch it dubbed. Subbed only.
Number EIGHT!!!!
I doubt many of you know what this anime is. This is called Bokura Ga Ita. It is the simple story of High school romance. But, I like to think it takes a slight turn at boring and steers straight into pretty damn interesting.
Basically, this girl, likes this guy, this guy like this girl...
blah blah blah blah.
This guy had ex-Girlfriend, Ex-girlfriend died, He would never love again, She aims to change that.
Unfortunetly I can not give much away without ruining the story completely, but trust me on this....
There is one scene in this anime that just fucking does you in. It is simple Heart Wrenching.
Number.... SEVEN!?!?!!?!?
Enough said. Part of my childhood. First anime. Couldn't of been better.
..... Number... seex?
Once again... Enough said.If they had ended this anime when Rukia was saved...
Could have been my number one.
But once again, a good anime ruined by fillers.
Number Five,
Not entirely sure how popular Elfen Lied got, but one thing for sure... It is a spectacular anime. Involving a new race of humans, Breasticles, voilence, intense psychological pain. This anime really has it all.
But, that is hopefully the draw for viewers that I don't respect, This anime really is an amazing Romance triangle. For obvious reasons, the main woman in this anime can not ever be normal, making this triangle very abnormal. The story of love is handled very carefully in this and it never fully lets on what happens. It is one of those, let you wander, sorts of animes. Very well written, very well produced, very exciting and dimming. This is no happy anime, this is an anime for those who want to sink a little lower.
Number Four!
Another "No shit" anime. This anime has stood the test of time, it is in production yet again, and this anime still freaking sells.
This anime is what Brad would call, a Mind Fuck. There is no simple explanation to this story, seeing to how most of the essential story is taking place inside the personalities and mindsets of three adolecents. Covers various philosophies, Christianity, psychological aspects of the mind and, if you listen closely, raises questions.
Unfortunetly most of them are raised at the actual anime.... Such as... "What the fuck?"
Number THUHHHHHREEEE!!!!
Kimi Ga Nozumu Eien, or as of now, Rumbling Hearts.
When I first saw this anime, It looked like crap. The characters were shallow, the setting was idiotic, the reason for interaction between characters was so saddly immature.
But I gave it another go... And watched the second episode.
Same ol' bussiness.
Then then end of the anime comes... and a phenomena that has plagued men for centuries took control of me.
I Shit My Britches.
This Anime did a superb job at remaining realistic, hiding what is to come, taking romance to a new level. This anime keeps you guessing as to what will happen, this is not an ordinary anime, this is not a happy anime. This anime is all about pain, confusion, dishonesty, and really unfortunate people. But it is so fucking good.
Number Two.
A man with a God Complex....What an interesting theory.
This anime... does something which I thought could never be done.
You know that chill you get when something... really damn cool happens?
Everyone experiences it.
I got this feeling... while he was simply writing in a book.
A death note, to be more specific.
This is the not so average story of a genius who finds death lying in his hands. He takes the opportunity to take out all those who are bad and evil in the world. He is God, for awhile.
And that is where it gets interesting..
Oh... number one?
I'll tell y'all later.
I got class now.
SEE YA.

A decent list. bravo.
However the lack of Trigun makes me want to brutally murder a kitten.
Cool list, Travis. I agree with you about Naruto. That anime has some really wonderful characters that all have something to likeable about them. I'm glad you're not one of those people that put it down.
I've seen an episode of Elfen Lied, and I have to say from what I saw, that's some pretty fucked up shit. From what I've heard about it, it sounds interesting though.
I'm curious about what your number one is...Cowboy Bebop? Trigun? Pokemon? J/K!
Hajime No Ippo
Best sports anime
PERIOD
bleach and naruto, both manga that were sort of good in the beginning but went downhill after the initial goal.
thanks travis for remind me of hack, one anime i desperated wanted to watch a few years back but never got to, and kind of had forgotten about recently.
my guess for you number one? FMA
I'm surprised you watched Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Travis.
It's a solid Anime no doubt, but after I finished watching the whole thing, I felt somewhat sad for a couple of days until I finally gotten over it. It's quite surprising how Japanese Animes can go deep making you think about your own life too. That was the first Anime I've ever watched that made me feel that way.
Just wondering if you knew there is a Kimi ga Nozumu Eien ~Next Season~ already out. It first aired I think around the end of December (last year) so it just started.
Guesses on his #1 anime? My guess... Pokemon.
I've been exposed to so little anime that I haven't seen any episodes of any of those on this list (though I have heard of a few of them).
I'm starting to appreciate anime and should branch out. I really enjoy Cowboy Bebop and I remember liking Outlaw Star a lot. I didn't care for Ranma 1/2 but that was because it was my exwife forcing me to watch it with her (while we were still not exactly happily married).
Anyhow, I am sure I speak for most of the community in saying that we miss having your around here, can't wait for your Trio to be up and running!
Naruto, awesome music, plot, characters, and delivery.
Elfen Lied, bewbs, violence, suspense, action.
very nice list. can't wait for number 1.
The hardest part about a top ten anime list is that you have no idea how many you've seen versus how many are actually out there. Back when I watched it frequently, there were about 500 shows I hadn't seen over the 150 I probably did watch. . . How do you rate stuff like that?!
I prefer Manga over Anime, but my all time favorite is still Cowboy Bebop. Even the DUB was good, wtf? I can relate to your choices, of the ones I have seen. Not a bad list. :P

Aww travis.. its a great list.. but i think naruto is better then Bleach.. Naruto focuses more on each character in the series and works a backstory in.. while bleach.. like 90% of it is just about Ichigo.. but besides that Awesome list. hmm well also deathnote i would have put a lil lower.. *shrugs*
Needs more Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
Still, thanks for the list. I'll make a note to watch the ones on there that I haven't seen.
Oh Travis you tease! I want to know what your No. 1 is! I do agree with you about Naruto, but still would not put it in my top 10. My number 1 is definitely Evangelion. I love that anime and it's the main one that got me into anime in general so it holds a special place for me (even though Gainax milks the shit out of it). Elfen Lied spectacular too.
My guess for No. 1 (that hasn't already been guessed) is TTGL.
Nice list, and your opinion on Naruto is dead true.
My friends got angry that I skipped the fillers, but whatever, I wasn't going to put myself under that torture.
Elfen Lied is amazing too!
Can't wait for #1!
I will shit my britches if #1 is Code Geass
yay bleach was in there im a bleach fan :D but still the fillers suck == im kinda surprised Hell sing isn't in the list
I liked the list, put together pretty well.
If you want some recommendations, I'll be happy to provide some. And I'm probably going to check out the 3 sets of anime on your list that I have yet to watch.
Also, looking forward to you being able to broadcast. Too bad I have exams on monday and tuesday. Still going to check in though.

i have a feeling number one is going to be Evangelion, or hack.//sign
Travis... this is one of the many reasons I like you! You're not afraid to show your favorite animes. You my glorious friend, are full of awesomeness.
