Comment on Top 25 Anime of 2000-2012 by Anonymous:

Ergoy Proxy, Paranoia Agent, Texhnolyze = “Specifics”? Don’t you mean obscure? They’re not obscure, BTW. Anyone that followed anime that year was more than aware of it’s release, discussion on messageboards & media reviews. They can still easily be found by anyone that finds one of the dozen or so anime streaming or torrent sites. Besides, no one ever said anything about a commercial blockbuster requirement. The only requirement is that they are 2000 to 2012 releases, period.

Black Lagoon = “Storm trooper effect” & ‘inferior to star wars”? Uh, we’re comparing anime & not blockbuster movies….? Anyway the storyline is inferior only if you’re looking for a George Lucas fairytale. If you’re looking for a blend of Tarentino, Rodriguez & a dozen John Woo films then Black Lagoon is clearly a superior choice. I’ll give you the “storm trooper effect”, but c’mon….who doesn’t love that on occassion? It’s like comfort food,lol. Besides, it’s offset by the poetry in motion of Roberta the Maid, the exploration of moral ambiguity & how much Rock represents the audience member. His character development is fascinating.

Gun X Sword was a refreshing change from the angsty, emo-tarded excess of Gundam. (Not that I don’t also like Gundam on occasion) The main character has a pair of 50lb balls & that’s a plus in my book.

Elfen Lied may have been a knee-jerk choice on my part. So much colorful eye candy, though! NYUUU!!!

Gunslinger Girl: Wasn’t the Loli that impressed. It was how each member was a reflection of their trainer & how some of them ultimately brought out the humanity in those trainers. (For the most part) That & the highly polished gunfights.

Now that I think of it, I’d like to also add:
Paprika
Howl’s Moving Castle
Place Promised in our Youth
Samurai X

I came close to adding Gantz, but that’s just too weighed down by a shitty budget & even shittier ending.

    This list was mistitled. Top 25 Moeblob anime of 2000-2012. Afterall, most of the otaku who vote on these lists are B Type. For us who are A Type, we know whats good for us, and they know whats good for them, while cringing at their choice in anime.

    FMA and Death Note aren’t on here probably because it wasn’t an ORIGINAL anime (it was manga).
