Post your favorite anime series.
Mine would have to be "High School of the Dead." The show is unnecessarily unsavory at times, but the storyline, characters, and writing are all incredibly engaging. "Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni" is in a close second; that show is intercourse ing psychotic.
I've heard the precise opposite about High School of the Dead. >:(
Anyway, my favorite anime of all time, hands down, without competition, is the Viewtiful Joe anime.
I watched some of High School of the Dead, it was pretty good. Toaru Majitsu no Index is also pretty entertaining.
Another funny thing to watch is older anime, like Lupin. It's hilarious, if nothing else.
And I guess I still do like Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star, though the latter is just the slightest bit overrated.
i like higurashi, haruhi (first season, never watched second FORGET ABOUT ENDLESS 8), dragon ball z, gurren laggan, and welcome to the nhk
Lets see... if we're limiting this to just favorites then:

Fullmetal Alchemist

I can't wait until this season is over. I'm tired of hearing people sing praises of Attack on Titan. It really doesn't deserve all the praise or hate it gets.

I haven't watched much of it, but from what I've seen it's supposed to be funny in a perverted way. Not really meant to be taken seriously.
too much elementary-tier potty mouth content for mee
Panty and Stocking was a breath of fresh air for me. Childish, sure. But definitely entertaining.

Uhhhh recently I've been watching Attack on Titan, Watamote, Free! (Makoto is the best boy), and Hyouka.
Panty and Stocking was pretty okay overall, but the episodes were really hit and miss for me.

funimation usually does a pretty good job with whatever they touch, though

I kinda agree to this, but I feel that they tend to reuse the same voice actors in a lot of their stuff, which can get pretty grating.
I'm a big Funimation fan, so most of the time I don't mind it when they reuse voice actors as long as the voices fit. But I absolutely cannot staaaaand Monica Rial's voice and they use her SO MUCH.
I watch dubs as long as good ones are available. And, honestly, sometimes the American dub really is better. But then you have things like Azumanga Daioh where the English voice acting is super annoying and the jokes are translated horribly. It depends on the anime, really. I like to check out both the subtitled and dubbed versions to see which I like better.

I love Makoto and all of them, really, but Nagisa is my fav.I read a bit of the Watamote manga before the anime came out, and the secondhand embarrassment was just
sooo horrible. I don't know if I want to watch the anime and go through all of that again.
So, I'm a bit late with this one but I finallyyyyyy got around to finishing Mawaru Penguindrum. Has anyone seen it?

Well yeah, how many VA's do you expect them to employ when the anime market in this country is so tiny?

Most VAs aren't anime-exclusive either.

I've heard interviews of VAs saying that a lot of them don't like dubbing work since they have to sit alone in a booth instead of recording with a group.

The anime is only 4 episodes in but it's already the most cringe worthiest thing I've seen in terms of embarrassment, the situations Tomoko gets herself into are insane. I actually wanna start reading the manga now.
I only got about halfway through Mawaru Penguindrum and haven't watched it in a while, should I pick it back up?

Maybe I'm just being really picky about anime VA's. I just gotta have my variety of voices, man.

The story gets pretty crazy. At certain parts I had no idea what was going on and there's a lot of plot twists.
My friends kept saying that I was going to cry a lot, and I feel like a lot of parts were supposed to be really sad, but I never cried. The ending did hit me right in the feels, it just didn't bring me to tears.

I've literally only bothered to watch 2 (or 4, however you interpret it) anime series for more than a single episode: Dragon Ball [Kai] and Digimon Adventure [02].
They just put Digimon Adventure (both series) on Netflix in both dub AND SUB a week ago. I almost died in disbelief.
As for Dragon Ball, I watched all of Kai in spring and eagerly await for it to come back in a year or so. In the meantime, I started the original Dragon Ball, which I am literally watching right now (ep 33). It's great, if not dated, but it sometimes makes me feel like I need to be a registered sex offender to watch it. Seriously, 80s Japanese kids were messed up.
My friends got me to watch the first episode of Darker Than Black on Netflix recently. It was good, maybe one day I'll finish it. I tend to stick with one thing at a time, though, anime or not, and right now my cartoon is Dragon Ball. Unfortunately, shonen never freaking end, so it will be a while.
