because there are objectively better anime than ones I'm going to list, but these are the ones who saw the space in my brain and thought;

1. Gundam Wing

- there are objectively better Gundam, whether that be analyzed for animation, plot, politics, love triangles, or overall robot designs

however I will maintain GW has the best Char clone, but again I might be biased

2. Sailor Moon

'panther, you must not have sailor moon brainrot, you don't currently RP anyone in there/talk about it all the time'

Zechs is really good

it's an old anime and it's an anime a lot of people have moved past, I don't really feel a need to talk about it tons

but I mean. the moment anything new comes my way, my brain latches onto it like a staring gremlin

*starving

UltraDude Zechs is really good I think this is an objective statement

3. the Big O

water is wet, the world is round, and the panther will not shut up about this weird noir batman mecha anime most people find 'mid'

it's only helped restructure my brain chemistry to better understand how I view the emptiness and futility the world, let me have this

trying to fill in the last two slots is hard

because now we're getting into stuff that might actually be objectively good and I start to feel like I should make more serious decisions

ffff okay I have to say that as far as hyperfixation and legitimately good title;

4. Dr. STONE has to go on here

Ammeschan has ruined me by introducing me to this anime;

now I see a little gremlin around and I have to imagine Gen doing gremlin things

I dismantle various steps in the name of SCIENCE but now I don't see it as a part of Connections/The Day The Universe Changed but now also anime-flavored

I love the overall message and how nothing is ultimately solved in violence despite how most anime just Are

Oh sure blame me

absolutely your fault

I'll always have a bit of my brain permanently latched onto Dr. STONE because of you

sailor moon

No regrets

mochihearts sailor moon!!!

sailor moon helped me on my gender journey and I will explore that extensively in a tl;dr nobody will read someday

fffff what goes into number 5 though

okay I have to be very honest

it's not going to be an anime

it's going to be an anime character

because I've long, long since fallen away from this anime; I don't want to watch any more of it; I'm bored and tired of the kind of plot it has and the video game tie-ins look tedious

but if I see this character I want to talk about him, so much, all the time, I do not want to shut up

it's piccolo (jr) from dragonball/dragonball z/et al

I probably can't stand watching this show anymore but this man is the reason I will forever love grumpy reluctant murderdads, he's guilty

the end.

I will now open up the forum for judging

no objections
