Comment on Top 25 Anime You’ll Never Get Tired Of Watching by Neat Hedgehog:

Scryed… I liked it a lot, but it always seemed strange that it was really as popular as it was.

Personally, I’d put it in a list with (in no order):

Gungrave
Gun x Sword
Trigun
Outlaw Star
Eat-Man ’98 (just because it reminds me of the manga, which was awesome)

R.O.D TV
Samurai Champloo
Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari

  While I don’t agree with the list, I can see the arguments for everything on here. …except Higurashi. What the hell is that doing here? Granted, the animation sucks, but I still don’t see how it gets a spot here.

  I expected this to be about a girl masturbating with a traffic cone, but then I saw the rest of the title, and I was disappointed.

  Trigun? Eat-man ’98? Kino no Tabi? El Hazard? Utawarerumono? Escaflowne? None of those made it? Seriously? Can I think of another phrase or sentence to end with a question mark and put it in this post?
