I still got to finish watching paranoia agent. It was decent though.

Gurren Lagann is probably my favorite but Evangelion is a close second.

KICHOU WA MAID SAMA is an interesting shoujo anime, although somehow I love the manga better :)
I never thought I would come back to Evangelion after EoE,
But I discovered Re-Take (or it found me?) and
now here I am.

Evangelion is indeed my favorite anime (Death Note comes close, but for different reasons and i don't think it could ever dream of replacing EVA) I think part of it has to do with the fact that i don't really watch anime tough.

EVA isn't even in my top five. >>

It's number eight on my top ten though.

I tend to think it's a bad question. Eva is Eva; it doesn't really have much competition for being what it is, but if I'm in the mood for shoujo, cyberpunk, romcom, real mecha, or something else that is what Eva isn't there's really no way to compare the two. It'd be like comparing Aliens to The Shawshank Redemption, From Russia With Love, and Gorky Park. They're all movies, yes, but there are no real points of comparison to be found there, so how would you rank them?

I gotta admit I've invested a lot more in Eva than anything else, though. I dunno whether that means it's a favorite or just in a class by itself. -o-;

I would have to say that it is my favorite because I like its deep story and suspense. I have not yet found an anime that I like better than Evangelion because of these reasons.

I agree with Bagheera. It can't really be compared to much else out there. But it is still my favorite simply for the way in which it struck a chord with me. Nothing else has come close to replicating that feeling...yet. I also identify with Shinji a lot. It's uncanny how many common elements we share.

Not even top 10. Hell, maybe not even top 20. Despite that, it is by far the one that I'm the most obsessed with.

Not even close, that still goes to Samurai 7.

If driving me crazy with addiction counts as favoritism, then hell yes i would classify Eva as the one that surpasses all other anime needs. :w00:

Same here, Gus. Nothing else has stricken me with interest like Evangelion has. I think one of the things that makes it so interesting and prone to discussion is the fact that it leaves so many open-ended questions. So yeah, it doesn't look like anything will be taking Eva's place in my heart for a long while. XD

I think what CaasiBoy means is that Evangelion is the anime that's made him think the most, but it may not be the anime he enjoyed the most.

It's definitely up there in my favorites, definite favorite I don't know because there are so other series I really love but Evangelion definitely stands out among them and has great nostalgic value for me as well as a great emotional attachment.

I think I'm going have to stick with "Duh". Of course it's my favorite series. Nothing else even comes close.

EDIT: The Future Diary is coming in as a close second. Good god, that show is amazing.
