Choose a theme. Then list 13 things that fit that theme.

Here I've listed the 13 anime series I've seen and loved. I've only picked the ones I've finished watching though. My theme this week was inspired by Books at Midnight's post Anime Movies: My Top & My Thoughts.

1. Ghost Hunt
2. Darker Than Black
3. GunxSword
4. Hellsing
5. Samurai 7
6. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
7. Full Metal Panic!
8. Kimi ni Todoke
9. Nodame Cantabile
10. Toradora!
11. Arakawa under the Bridge
12. Tsubasa Chronicle
13. The Vision of Escaflowne

Why I love them ?

Well, Ghost Hunt makes a great supernatural mystery story. Creepy enough to give a few shivers without totally frightening me. And each of the cases are difficult enough to keep me guessing.




Darker Than Black, GunxSword, Hellsing and Samurai 7, I just love for the action. Not only are the main protagonist(s) very good at kicking their enemies butt, they're also not the typical heroic type. Alucard from Hellsing for example is an evil vampire who greatly enjoys being what he is.




Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood too has great action and comedy. But more than that, its great cast of characters and theme of sacrifice and growth can sometimes leave me in tears.

And the rest ? No matter their setting, I love them for the romance between the leads. All of which possess great chemistry. I never doubted from the moment they first appeared that they were meant for each other even when the main characters do not. Nodame Cantabile with its story of opposites (a slob and an over-achiever) had me in stitches. But that doesn't mean that they don't all have their touching moments.
