I also really love Miyazaki Hayao's movies, Kon Satoshi movies and Makoto Shinkai movies ^^

and for manga
20th century boys (read it if you haven't yet :P)
Urasawa Naoki is the best mangaka there is

"It's about to be holey, you geddit, Fred?"

When is it supposed to start, anyways? I haven't looked up any info yet...

Today I finally watched the second half of Ouran High school Host Club, and I'm amazed of the brilliant and even entertaining character development, which is quite unusual for a comedy anime.
And I can say that I haven't seen such an awesome awesome dramatic climax in a while. The presentation and the music was so perfect, I think the last time I saw something like this was in Haibane Renmei, and before that in Neon Genesis Evangelion.
I love Ouran!

Well, my very favourite (besides Miyazaki, but it's unfair to put him there) is Shoujo Kakumei Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena). Both the movie and the series, they're brilliant.

My favourite series:
1. Shoujo Kakumei Utena
2. Cowboy Bebop
3. Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon
4. Flame of Recca
5. Vampire Princess Miyu

does Avatar: The Last Airbender count? :D If so, it'd be second.

When it comes to Miyazaki, I love all of his stuff to bits, but Spirited Away and Whisper of the Heart I hold especially dearly.

If you don't cry at Grave of the Fireflies... well, that's amazing.

Satoshi Kon also kicks ass. Millennium Actress broke my heart and Paprika is definitely one of my favourite movies of the year.

In terms of manga, the only one I've ever loved was ParaKiss by Ai Yazawa (and boy, did I love it. It was exactly what I needed at that moment of my life).

LOL omg those are my top two places too.

1.Evangelion
2.Gunbuster 1 and 2 (i lump them together)
3.Honey and Clover 1 and 2
4.Paradise Kiss
5.Nana
6.Cowboy Bebop
7.Trigun
8.The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
9.Welcome to the NHK
10.Black Lagoon

(those are mostly ones that I remembered I liked, I'm sure there are some I forgot)

I never even heard of Gunbster o_O

are you serious????
It's a classic!!!!
*otaku mode on*

it's one of gainax's classics

WTF?
I just watched School Days...
That was some fucked up anime. I'm glad about the end^^
