8 years ago+16 16 0What is your favorite anime? What is your least favorite anime?
It's hard to choose just one but I would have to go with Neon Genesis Evangelion. Not only was it the first full anime series I owned (on VHS no less), but I watched it several times when I was first getting into the medium. So it has nostalgia value but it also helped form the basis for my taste for the next decade (sci-fi, psychological, dark). These days I'll happily watch pretty much every genre if the show is good, but my first love is still sci-fi and psychological shows. Rounding out my top ten, not that anyone probably cares.
I'm generally pretty good at filtering out shows I won't like, but 2014 was my year of watching everything that aired that showed any promise and the worst show I watched was probably Tokyo ESP. Bland, insipid and uninspired it took what should have been a sure win, Japanese X-Men, and somehow managed to make the most boring and lifeless show I've ever seen. I'm much quicker to drop shows these days, and this one would have been a goner after a couple episodes, but I stuck it out of some weird sense of obligation to the creators. I stopped being so nice after I finished it.
