I Remember Monster Rancher . It had a hero named Genki and a heroine named Holly. My Favorite character was Tiger of the Wind.
I am a Motchi fan of that show myself. He learns an amazing attack called Cherry Blossom Blizzard later in the series. It's very powerful and looks awesome too. He's the friendliest and most affectionate monster on the team, in my opinion. I've always loved the "innocent" charcters in shows for some reason.
Here are the anime shows that I still love these days. With such a long list, I'm sure everyone here would greatly prefer it if I didn't explain why I love each one of these. But let me warn you: I enjoy a LOT of anime. My list includes:
InuYasha
Dragon Ball/Z/GT
Mega Man NT Warrior
Digimon Tamers and Data Sqaud
Monster Rancher
Magic Knight Rayearth
Dragon Drive

Now please don't be alarmed. My memory isn't THIS good. I keep track of most the anime I love in a notebook because there is no way I could quote all these from memory. Each one of these I either enjoy a lot of right now, or at least I did when they were still going, but I still think about those ones today.
Has anyone seen Howl's Flying Castle? It's by the same guy who did "Spirited Away'
Yes, I love that movie very much as I do almost every Hayao Miyazaki film. However, it is actually called "Howl's
Moving Castle" because it doesn't fly, but sort of moves around on the ground as if it was a living creature.
Now as for anime movies that I love, you can relax now because my list for those is considerably smaller:
Stormy Night
Dragon Half
Kiki's Delivery Service
Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle
Castle in the Sky
Whisper of the Heart
Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody
Wrath of the Ninja
Princess Mononoke
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Yu-Gi-Oh the Movie
and Straight Jacket
You can probably tell I mainly just watch anime, and that I watch it a LOT. Anime is totally amazing. The detailed artwork, intricate stories full of surprises, characters you can relate to, usually amazing powers, and a lot of great humor with romance here and there makes things very miserable for me when it's comercial time. Anime makes up about 97% of what different shows I watch on television. Huge fan and total fanatic- you may call me either one or both because they fit me pretty well I think. And I'm sorry, but with the length of my lists, I have not been able to decide on a favorite for either one just yet. I would recommend all of these to your guys, but I don't like inducing headaches, so I'll just leave it at this. Later!
