It's kind of cool but kind of silly. I thought it was OK.

Let's play "Guess that show/movie/OVA!"

Recently? Haven't you had that Toradora avatar for a long time now?

Well, Toradora is pretty good.

A year - month = recently :D

Twas a shame.
It's the fate of all drag-on anime's to go down with their quality, no exceptions.
You can't just keep a great idea going for more than 50 episodes, to strive such is pure madness.

Actually I need to get back on Sword Art Online... I've only seen the first episode and that was awhile ago when Drone told me a little bit about it... Lately i've been absolutely infatuated with Panty & Stocking... >n< Its my new addiction. And im not even much of an anime guy! BY GOD THAT ANIME S' LIKE POWERPUFF GIRLS MET DRAGONBALLZ >_< I'm in love with that anime...

I don't think you can convince anyone it's good with that premise, because you know how well THAT SHOW turned out *shudders*

Instead of what I like I'll say what I might like: Wolf Children. I'm dieing here trying to find the full movie.

Powerpuff girls is a classic. As well as DBZ... I guess its just what people see of it that matters.

Powerpuff girls isn't suit for an anime type theme though, it's too cliche a concept; Which makes me think less of the show.
It's pretty obvious you're not an anime guy if you just got into P&S, but hey; some of us aren't anime people.

Do you have to be Asian to make it an anime?

based from what I know, an anime is only really an anime if it's Japanese. Not sure tho.

Anime literally means animation, just in Japanese. It also happens so that anime also means animation in french, so french animation can also be called anime.

i think my top would have to be:
Steins;Gate
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note
Darker than Black
Trigun
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
FMA:brotherhood
Fate/zero
Clannad/afterstory
Samuria Champloo

And personally i think anime is defined by the style, not it being made in Japan, its to big and to influential to say 'if its origin isnt Japan, its not anime'. The same goes for manga. But hey, this is one massive grey area i guess :)

Quote from Wikipedia

The intended meaning of the term sometimes varies depending on the context.

Depending on the definition. If you go by the western one, it's about the style and such, but in japan it just means animation.
