I watched Baccano! yesterday and it was simply awesome. A little bit like Full Metal Alchemist, but with a lot more suspense and better comedy. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.
I LOOVE the Intro, and I think this long vocal version of the song sounds somewhat like a ringo song:

Baccano! Opening Vocal Version


Not the voice itself though, only the songwriting...

Mainly because of the cast.
I can't take the story serious if it is acted out by characters so dumb. I wold like to see them in something like School Rumble oder Azumanga Daioh, but not in something I am meant to take serious.
The background story is pretty sad, but all the events are either clearly avoidable or just unreasonably.
For me it's a drama show with a fake drama and there are much better animes in that field. All that was ok if it was percepted as average, but I hate it because of the big hype around it.
Many think it's the best show ever, and although I really want everyone to have their individual opinion, I'm sick of reading "It's better than anything, I didn't even see the show you just mentioned, but Elfen Lied is clearly better!"

Monster
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Full Metal Alchemist
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien
Kare Kano
Haibane Renmei
Mushishi

And that's just what comes to my mind at first thought.

Anyone watch Jigoku Shoujo? I'm watching it now, and I heard it's bad, but it seems pretty good so far?

EDIT: I've always liked the art to Elfen Lied. ;d

Excluding Haibane and FMA (this one I haven't seen yet), I obviously agree with the rest. The first one is pretty obvious =P

@bromithia: I don't know why some people say Jigoku Shoujo is bad, too, lol. I watched the first season and liked it very much. But I have to say that until after half of the show, the structure of every episode may get boring to some people.
Haha, I'm glad you don't think that Elfen Lied is the best anime^^
Haibane is just great. I thought FMA was some naruto like fighting anime for a long time.
But I was wrong, and when I watched it, I was simply amazed.

OH
I just love all of these.
(I really wanna see the third season. Can't wait till it's out. Also, the movie looks okay.)

Anyone here like Gurren Lagann? It's a GAINAX show, but it's awesome.

I actually CANNOT STAND the following:

Naruto
Bleach
Evangelion
Elfin Lead


I really hate all of those. I used to love the first three, but....

Finally I found the song the fictional char Kenji wrote and sings in the manga 20th century boys:

Bob Lennon (That's the name of the song!)


In the manga there is this scene when Kenj just sings this song. Pretty sad, and finally I get the complete experince with the song. This song he wrote is pretty important, so it's nice that the song is not only mentioned, but was actually wrote for the manga.
Still the best manga I ever read
