Memories~
Because I want to be reminded of what I used to stan.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WARNING: Long post with embedded Youtube vids.
Gundam wing and Slayers are my 1st and 2nd favorite animes respectively. And the rest follows in no particular order coz' my memory is hazy.
*The animes that won't make me bored no matter how many times I watch them.
*Gundam Wing OP2:
The only Gundam I can stand. I stopped watching anything Gundam after Gundam SEED.
-TWO-MIX!! Reason I stalked Minami Takayama *__* Thus, I ended up liking Detective conan and Escaflowne xD
-The seiyuus. I stalked them as well. Oh, internet you were so amazing since then.
-Bought soundtrack cds and a manga (Ground Zero). Wah~ I can imagine how I became easily broke back then.
**********
*Slayers
Giga Slave can send Voldemort into nothingness anytime.
Memories: I got interested in sorcery and magic when I was a kid, and Slayers was like perfection for me, with its slapstick comedy and physically inferior but badass heroine.
-I remembered printing all the spells (from the web) of the Slayers universe and memorizing them as if I had an Slayers 101 exam the next day xD
-Lina Inverse is one character I can easily draw back then.
-MEGUMI HAYASHIBARA. My eternally favorite anime female seiyuu and singer. Her duets with Masami Okui are also perfections.
*******
*Magic Knight Rayearth
Memories: First ever Clamp work I watched. (Then was traumatized by RG Veda next D:). Like the twist, and that kind of 'twist' became a Clamp cliche for me.
-Hikaru is a favorite character <3
******
*Card Captor Sakura
Memories: Sakura was too adorable for me to resist. I remember buying a set of Clow Cards, but sadly I lost them D: I can easily draw Sakura <3
-I bought some copies of the manga, but I wasn't able to complete them.
-SakuraxLi are my adorable OTP.
-Was annoyed by some fanfics portraying Sakura as a sex-y bitch. Oh, wait. Yes. That's fanfiction.
-Learned to deal with the fact that Clamp is fond of yaoi and yuri even in their most adorable and non-tragic works D:
**********
*Yuu Yuu Hakusho
Memories: REI GUN--!!
-Kurama never failed to capture my heart <3
***********
*Rurouni Kenshin
Memories: I think I learned about L'arc en ciel because of this anime :3 Thus I became a fan.
-I love the anime and manga series very much. But I detest the latter OVAs wherein they killed Kenshin.
-My friend in elementary was Kenshi-obsessed while I was Heero Yuy-obsessed xD
-Gozaru~
*********
Ranma 1/2
Memories: I remember liking the manga more. But just the same, Ranma and Akane's relationship frustrates me xD But I can't help liking them that I bought Ranma movies.
*********
*Tenkuu no Escaflowne
Memories: I think this is the first anime I watched with a sad ending. And I was hitting puberty at that time so my emotional state was kind imbalance D:
-Maaya Sakamoto <3333333333333
*******
*Bakuretsu Hunters
Memories: Subtle ecchi (that I was embarrassed to watch it with my mom). But setting that aside, I so damn love the anime opening. I don't get tired watching it. Megumi Hayashibara rocks as always.
**********
B'T X/B'T X Neo
Memories: I used to watch this with my uncle xD Nevertheless, I like Hokuto and Fou :3
**********
Great Teacher Onizuka
Memories: I did not wish to have a teacher like him, but I think he's cool. Like the anime more than the drama. I love Kanzaki. I once wished I have her brains so I can tick off my teachers, but I was a quiet girl, so uhm yeah.
**********
Get Backers
Memories: Fell with its beautiful art, and the comedy was a bonus ^_^b
**********
Weiss Kreuz
Memories: I love Ken. 'Nuff said.
**********
*Senkaiden Houshin Engi
Memories: The manga scared me at some point, but I love this anime. I especially love 'Friends' by Yonekura Chihiro that it's my song for my elementary friends.
**********
Groove Adventure RAVE
Memories: Was frustrated with how the anime ended so I read the manga.
**********
Recca no Honoo
Memories: Was again frustrated with how the anime ended so I read the manga. Mikagami was the only likeable characte for me, though
**********
Slam Dunk
Memories: My male classmates and brother was so were so obsessed with this anime. But being an anime girl I was once, I still beat them when it come to 'sources' to find the (now rare) VCDs of it back then. The Rukawa cheering squad annoy the hell out of me.
**********
Hunter x Hunter
Memories: Was awed when I knew that the mangaka is the same author of YYH. Still didn't get why is it back then my classmates were arguing with me that Kurapika is a girl @_@ I always thought he's a guy.
*********
X/1999 TV Series
Memories: Too obsessed with the manga. Bought Vol. 3-18, and was excited for the anime series (though it created its own ending). Still praying that Clamp will finish it *sniffs*
*********
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
Memories: Another mindfuck courtesy of Clamp. My adorable OTP came back, and they bleed. I remember staying at my school's library to read the manga, and had to pause for a while to reflect on what I just read.
*********
*Chrno Crusade
Memories: I remember watching the ending with my mom. It's so sad that I really tried hard not to cry but failed, then when I look beside me, my mom was wiping her eyes xD
**********
Gensomaden Saiyuki
Memories: Angst, and the fact there are four male characters screams 'yaoi!', but that exists in every anime. I love the fact that it is based from a Chinese myth/refences. I love myths, so I remember going to my school's library archives hoping I might find some old book about Chinese myths...and failing. That's why I love internet.
**********
*Full Metal Panic! series
Memories: One anime that screams 'fanservice!', but I can't help liking the crack xD One of the anime that remove my stress in college
**********
Inuyasha
Memories: I looked forward into seeing the anime when I read it's Rumiko Takahashi's. Yet another complicated love story, and I see many people hating on Kikyo. Love that girl more than Kagome, though.
**********
Fruits Basket
Memories: I wished they continued the manga as an anime. But seeing how dark the manga, I am happy to have just read it.
**********
*Fullmetal Alchemist
Memories: Too obsessed with this anime when I was in college. I even bought a DVD set, and a watch like Ed's. Made me read anything with alchemy as well. Most importantly, I learned to appreciate Chemistry and Physics xD
**********
*Fate/Stay Night
Memories: I had a marathon of the anime in one day, setting aside my test the next day.
**********
*Honey and Clover
Memories: Always slap me with reality.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And the rest follows: Bleach, Naruto, One piece, D.Gray-man, Vampire Knight, Death Note, Code Geass, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, Shakugan no Shana, Ouran, Kimi ni Todoke, Haruhi Suzumiya.
I also watched Evangelion and Fushigi Yuugi back then, but reflecting now, I don't think I liked them.
Sailormoon...I watched it a lot, but the story was like Dragon Ball to me, so I gave up watching the succeeding sequels.
And many more that perhaps not that memorable for me to mention.
In fairness, anime was a way of bonding with my mom back then xD She's currently obsessed with Shounen Jump animes (Naruto, OP, and Bleach). I am more like a manga lover at present.
I'm currently obsessed again with the revival of Gundam wing as FT and GotL. I will definitely rewatch the list of animes above. Now, if only Rukia will appear soon in Bleach...
