My Top 5 Favorite Anime
Posted on: December 25, 2010
Continuing on my TOP 5 series, here is my top 5 favorite anime/manga/animation!
1.) Dragon Ball and DBZ

I adore this series! Although DB GT was one big disappointment and an epic fail, it does not take away from the pure joy that it Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. The reason this is my favorite anime is the characters. Each character has a charm to them, and each has memorable moments that make me respect them as a character and person. I love the messages in these series–strength, forgiveness, acceptance, family, friends, etc.
* Favorite Characters: Vegeta + Goku
* Least Fav Characters: Pan + Videl (hate them both…)
* Favorite Villains: Frieza + Ginyu Force
* Least Fav Villain: Doctor Gero
* Favorite Pairing/Shipping: Vegeta/Bulma, Goku/ChiChi, and Vegeta/Goku (hehe…)
*Least Fav Pairing/Shipping: Gohan/Videl *yawn*
* Favorite Scenes: (1) Vegeta shot in the chest by Frieza, and begged Goku to kill Frieza for the sake of their people. I literally got chills at this scene. (2) Vegeta sacrificing himself to take down Buu. I loved it when he held Trunks and told his son that he was proud. I really wish they saved this scene at the end because it would have been the best ending to the series.
2.) Fruits Basket
Cute on the outside, but deep and emotional in the inside. This is what defines this anime/manga. I much prefer the manga in this series because you go more deep into each character. What I love about this series is the emotional ride I had throughout the story–I went from laughing my ass off to crying. I felt hatred towards some characters, and then suddenly have a 180 and begin to sympathize. Only this series could make me feel so much sadness and hope.
* Favorite Characters: Ayame + Shigure
* Least Fav Characters: Akito + Hiro
* Favorite Pairing/Shipping: Shigure/Akito (in the manga)
*Least Fav Pairing/Shipping: Tohru/Yuki/Kyo (I always felt that Tohru should just be friends with those two)
* Favorite Scenes: When Kyo’s real form was revealed, I thought it was beautiful that Tohru accepted him despite his grotesque form. It is easy to love perfection, but it takes a real love to look beyond an ugly form and see the beauty in the inside.
3.) Avatar: The Last Airbender
I know, this is not considered “anime”. This series was created outside of Japan, therefore it is considered animation, but not anime. BUT I DON’T CARE! I love this series so much! It is a fun adventure with some memorable characters. I find some of the main characters to be annoying, so this is not my favorite animation series, but the overall story is great. Too bad this awesome groundbreaking series was ruined by the live-action epic fail that came out recently. So depressing…
* Favorite Characters: Zuko + Azula
* Least Fav Characters: Toph, Suki, “Combustion Man,” and those annoying singing nomads in the love cave. I have more characters I dislike, but that will take forever.
* Favorite Villain: Azula
* Least Fav Villain: Ozai (not a memorable villain, therefore the ending was unsatisfying)
* Favorite Pairing/Shipping: Katara/Zuko
*Least Fav Pairing/Shipping: Aang/Katara *yawn*
* Favorite Scenes: I loved it when the Zuko, Azula, Mai , and Ty Lee went to a fire nation party. So funny and awkward!
4.) Ranma ½

This is another series where I prefer to read the manga. I tend to find the voice actors to be annoying and overall exaggerated. Despite this, the manga is great! The only problem with this series is that it has no plot outside of several love triangles. Like Rumiko Takahashi other works, Ranma ½ takes forever to end–to a point where you are glad that it is finally over. Ignoring all this, the story is cute and fun!
* Favorite Characters: Ranma + Ryoga
* Least Fav Characters: Principal Kuno (annoying and needs to just die)
* Favorite Pairing/Shipping: Ranma/Akane (their cute moments are sooo cute!)
*Least Fav Pairing/Shipping: None. Everybody is okay.
* Favorite Scenes: Ranma’s in his Cat Fu trance and Akane tries to bring him back by letting him curl up in her lap. She starts to get a little embarrassed because everyone from the school is watching, and then Ranma rubs his nose with hers (like a cat), and everyone thinks that he has just kissed her. This was so adorable!!
5.) Miyazaki films

I am actually not a huge fan of anime, so I have chosen all of Miyazaki films as my fifth favorite. I think Miyazaki is a genius storyteller and animator. I love almost all his movies~
* Favorite Characters: Howl in Howl’s Moving Castle
* Least Fav Characters: Sophie’s mom in Howl’s Moving Castle
* Favorite Villain: Yubaba in Spirited Away
* Favorite Pairing/Shipping: Chihiro/Haku in Spirited Away
*Least Fav Pairing/Shipping: Ponyo/Sosuke in Ponyo
* Favorite Scenes: In My Neighbor Totoro, I loved it when the youngest sister first found the Totoro in the nest area, and they both took a nap. It was cute and memorable~
So that is my Top 5 favorite anime. What is yours?

Few things compare to the comfort and companionship of a soft, cuddly plush stuffed animal. My Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals add true function to that warm and wonderful feeling by combining the security of a stuffed animal with the functionality of a pillow. Made of high quality, super soft chenille, Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals make the most precious snuggle pals for you or your loved ones.
An ideal naptime companion – not to mention a comforting partner on road trips or airplane rides – Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals are anything but just another stuffed animal. Extremely versatile, these unique creations are the stuffed animal version of Transformers. Close the strap across their bellies and you have friendly, comforting pets. Open the strap and the pet becomes a comfortable pillow! Even more, Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals are so soft you’ll think you’re hugging a real fur coat! A pillow and a pet – all in one – Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals keep the companionship alive, even when your child sleeps.
The folks at Pillow Pets have been HARD at work in My Pillow Pets’ land all summer developing fun new cartoon version characters of My Pillow Pets that represent cultures and values from around the world. These characters are making their debut on the new My Pillow Pets blog.
Also, My Pillow Pets will be launching a whole brand new interactive website for kids – complete with interactive games, fun learning facts, and a whole new online experience for the My Pillow Pets fan club around the world!
Now, time for the review/giveaway item. Jaebumfangirl and My Pillow Pets would like to introduce the leader of this around-the-world My Pillow Pets pack – Ms. Ladybug.
This little bug is buzzing with cheer, thanks to her huge smile, fun antennas and bright red and black plush fur. A super-soft chenille plush folding stuffed animal. So cuddly you’ll never want to put it down! Starts out as your pal, then un-velcro its belly, and it quickly becomes your pillow.
I am a huge fan of My Pillow Pets, so I was overjoyed to receive this adorable lady bug. What I love about this pillow, and all others in the My Pillow Pets collection, is the quality. The super-soft chenille just melts on your skin. It is hard not to fall asleep! From the pictures, you can tell just how adorable this little critter appears, but she is even more cute in person. This was a gift to my little sister, who loves it, but I too want one!
Thinking of a great present for the holidays? Go to Pillow Pets website and surprise your loved ones with the most cutest gift this season!
