Tomoya Okazaki is a third-year high school student who is generally bored with life and doesn't take his studies, future, or anything else seriously. One day, however, he meets a lonely-looking girl in the school courtyard, Nagisa Furukawa. She explains to him the source of her loneliness: she had missed a lot of the previous school year and thus is repeating her third year; everybody that she knew has already graduated, and she is lonely. Tomoya is rather indifferent at first, but decides that he has nothing better to do and spends increasingly more time helping Nagisa restore the school drama club.

By the way, if you watch code geass (which you really should!!), don't make the mistake cats did and watch the 2nd season first (R2 is the 2nd season). XD

My top five:
1) Death Note
Best plot of an anime so far, very gripping story telling. Characters are very well portrayed. The art is some of the best I've seen in an anime.

2) Soul Eater
Great well-rounded anime. Exciting plot, plenty of action, some great funny moments too. Shinigami chop!

3) Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Currently watching this one and I'm loving it. The art isn't the best I've seen in an anime, but the plot is clever and well thought out with some great action and mystery. I'm just starting season 2, and after that I'm gonna watch the original GitS movies.

4) Hellsing / Hellsing Ultimate
Scantily clad vampire girl and giant pimp-vampire dude with huge guns and massive battles. 'Nuff said.

5) Fullmetal Alchemist
FMA was pretty good, though I feel the ending ruined it. If you judge it on all but the last couple of episodes, it's very entertaining.

[Lundis]

Polynomial, have you watched fullmetal alchemist brotherhood? They made a new ending there

[Gogeta70]

Nice list man, thanks for the contribution ^_^
