Favorite anime includes Garden of Sinners, Shamanic Princess, Hellsing Ultimate, Death Note, Rebuild of Evangelion, Fooly Cooly, and His and Her Circumstances.
Favorite characters:
Yukino Miyazawa (His and Her Circumstances) Very funny, has lots of personality
Alucard (Hellsing) Awesome and fascinating to watch
Schrodinger (Hellsing) So adorable and KAWAIIIII!!!!! You thought you'd never see that in Hellsing
Seras Victoria (Hellsing) Strong female character, and is pretty funny to boot.
Tiara (Shamanic Princess) Awesome female character, never backs down in a fight.
Shiki Ryougi (Garden of Sinners) Again, strong female lead, and has a sweet side to her as well.
Spoiler: Highlight to view
When she understood that Fujino's killings were not entirely her fault, she decided to save her rather than killing her, so she's a lot sweeter that she actually appears.
Claire (Claymore) Awesome character. Nuff' said
Light Yagami (Death Note) very interesting specimen and you really want to dive into his character and see what seperates him from 90% of other villians in the media
Firo Prochanezo (Baccano!) stylish dresser and is badass

8. Nami from One Piece
9.Kurumu from Rosario + Vampire
10. Sango from Inuyasha
5/4. FLCL and Gurren Lagann: I'd have to see the former again before I decide their placement. Anyway, Gurren Lagann's passionate energy that flows through everything (animation, characters, fights) makes it impossible for me not to love. As for FLCL, it took me watching Evangelion to realize how much I truly love that show, for it is its antithesis in every way (EVA's mature and fascinating premise gives way to inept character development and immature philosophizing, while FLCL's brazenly crazy and immature exterior hides a surprisingly poignant and capably told story).
3. Ouran High School Host Club: A potentially disastrous premise (female heroine crossdressing among a male harem) that is fantastically executed, with lots of clever humor, and genuine heart.
2. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood: I actually think the original anime is better--I can't deny this show is somewhat clumsy in its first fifth or so. But I absolutely love this story--though not all that similar, it reminds me of Bruce Timm's DC animated universe in how it expertly blends action, humor, darkness, optimisim, excellent plot and characters all together.
1. The Vision of Escaflowne: Actually the most recently watched on my list, this anime grabbed me at the end of the first episode and never let go. It's beautiful, its cliche story is executed almost perfectly, its characters are multi-layered, fascinating, but most importantly, endearing, and it might well have the best pacing of any anime I've ever seen. This is something everyone should see.
