Samurai Champloo (2004)
- a slice of life journey involving two samurai and a girl looking for a samurai who smells of sun flowers
- that sh*t doesn't have a scent???
- introduced me and so many other to Nujabes (rip)
- the ost is among the best I haven't seen someone do it like Champloo
- mixing the edo period with the influence of hip-hop/street done very well
- in between all the main story plot points, I especially enjoy the silly filler episodes
- especially ep18 and the dojo graffiti battle
- a perfect length of 25 episodes makes it digestable and rewatchable for YEARS
- been rewatching it since 2013
- the best beginner anime to watch handsdown
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt (2010)
- over the top comedy featuring two angels
- Panty loves sex and Stocking loves sweets
- there's a whole episode dedicated to c*m innuendos
- Trigger definetly loved adult animation in the US and it shows
- having the side A & B episodes, the Ghost explosions, explicit humor; you can see the fun and influence Trigger had here
- i can't wait for season two it's been so long...
Lucky Star (2007)
- a show about a group of school friends who all lead different lives
- all of them with different views, interests and perspectives
- but in the end, they all share the same experiences in small things like, "how do you eat a pastry?"
- light-hearted and funny moments in the anime still being quoted to this day
- Lucky Star's influence is still strong
- There's the otaku geek who loves video games and anime, the tsundere and airheaded twins, and the smart kind rich girl
- These character tropes don't define who they are to the extreme- showing them grow and change throughout the series that makes Lucky Star stand out
- There's lots of pop-culuture humor littered in every episode and explains the nerd culture surrounding it
- I love the Keroro Gunso (SGT Frog) refernces in a couple episodes
- Slice of Life comedies are my favorite genre and Lucky Star is the best series to explore it!!
