What are your favorite anime?

[SlowPokemon]

I don't know if we have any sort of thread for this, and with the recent news of more Haruhi universe animation coming in 2015, it reminded me that I actually used to actively talk about anime on here. So everyone, just list a few anime series that are your favorites. It doesn't really matter if more than one person lists the same anime, since I'm just sort of more curious about everyone's preferences than anyone else.

My favorites:
1. Kids on the Slope
2. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
3. Mawaru Penguindrum

1. Kaiji
2. Nichijou

Might add some more later, but those two stood out off the top of my head.

I haven't watched much anime, but I consider 95% of the stuff I've seen is great. Usually I just don't finish the series if I don't have faith in it being good enough to keep me watching.
My absolute favourite anime is Melancholy(as it is the sole definition of perfection), but I decided to add other stuff in there as well that I feel all of you should watch(I added them in the order in which they came into my mind). I'll also split my list into two parts, the mind-blowingly AWESOME and the stuff I've watched and I really, really liked it. (Using the English translated name if I prefer the dub over sub)

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
From the New World
Kimi to Boku
Kids on the Slope

Kokoro Connect (sub)
Suki-tte Ii na yo
Shiki (dub)
Noucome

idk if I've forgotten something

Also The Legend of Korra is technically not anime, but I want to mention how it's one of the best and my favourite shows.

[FireArrow]

Kodomo no Jikan really touched my heart, and I'm only one episode in.

[KefkaticFanatic]

Psycho-Pass

Does Psycho-Pass change much from the first few episodes, I've had it recommended to me but 2 episodes in it just seems to be a weird minority report - blade runner ripoff with genero anime tropes everywhere (esp with main character)

[SuperFireKirby]

Cowboy Bebop
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Trigun
Soul Eater
Kids on the Slope
Fooly Cooly
Nichijou
Samurai Champloo


I know there's more but I haven't been watching much anime lately, besides the stuff cycling through Toonami and Naruto Shippuden, which despite having watched all 370-something current episodes, I can firmly state it does not belong on any "best anime" lists. It really kicks ass from time to time, tho.

I'm absolutely terrible at picking my favorite of anything off of the top of my head (or even with a lot of thinking) so I'll just list the ones that I gave a 10/10 on myanimelist or others that come to mind (bolded are the special favorites)

Cowboy Bebop
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Nisekoi
Durarara!!
Attack on Titan
FMA: Brotherhood
Clannad After Story
Kids on the Slope
Eden of the East
Space Dandy
Hyouka

the first few episodes are kinda uninteresting. I had to try twice to actually keep watching, but yes, it changes quite a bit from that after some episodes!
