Most definately Inuyasha. Its the most fun to me. I can always have fun when watching this show. I became interested, and now I might even start collecting! Is there a videogame? I dont much like the others, at least not as much, but im still not gonna rag on em!

A the moment? Probably Fullmetal, but not by much ahead of the other two. I used to enjoy Inuyasha alot but it became repetitive. I still enjoy it but not as much as I used to. Stand Alone isn't bad. Some episode I liked, some are okay, some I didn't care for. Last night's episode rocked though. It's mostly the Laughing Man episodes that are interesting.

Although I love Inuyasha, it is too long and has too much filler.

Currently watching Full Metal, and am really liking the storyline.

Ghost in the Shell movie never impressed me, so I have not seen the series. Not my taste.

Hmmm...depends on what you want to discuss really.

InuYasha is the most fun to watch. It's a nice action show with enjoyable characters. It would be even better if it continued into the most recent Manga chapters, which have been some of the best.

Ghost in the Shell is the most intelligently written. It's dazzling to watch, extremely subtle in its characterizations and development, and while the episodes do vary in quality, it has a few that are some of the best of any Anime I've seen (The boxing episode and the laughing man episodes being rather interesting, and the old war veteran who was skinning people being one of the best episodes I've ever seen).

Full Metal Alchemist is sort of like a mixture of the two above. Its a fun series, with enjoyable characters and action. It's also dark and has a lot of intelligent moments in the later episodes.

This is to say that Ghost in the Shell is the one that I would rank higher if I were ranking the anime that I have viewed, and after that I like Full Metal and InuYasha about the same, with perhaps a slight nod to Full Metal for some of the cool, more though provoking moments that the series sometimes contains.

I don't particularly like Full Metal Alchemist. Inuyasha is good but flawed. Ghost in the Shell SAC is excellent, even if they do draw Kusanagi's body a little weird.

Btw, incredibly enough, I have yet to see an animated gif of the Laughing Man logo. What's up with that? :p (Ok, granted, it'd probably be a huge file 'cause of the circling text)

The other thing is that AFAICT the pictures I've seen don't get the text right. IIRC the logo has "Or should I?" at the end of the quote, but all the pictures leave that part off...

Maybe I'm misremembering...

Of the three, I prefer Full Metal Alchemist. It has the right mix of action, humor, drama, and even philosophy. Ghost in Shell is a very cool series as well, but it's often too dry or smothered by its own technobabble. Inu-Yasha lost its charm long ago. It has too many repetitive filler episodes and too little character development.

For me the arcs in Inuyasha take way too long finish and GINTS is boring, but Full Metal Alchemist is awesome.

GITS seems to be wrapping up, so it's pretty interesting right now :)

I like Full Metal Alchemist the best because it is a excellent blend of Drama, Comedy, and Action. The fight scenes are incredible. The plot is kind of revelant(Religion vs Science, War in Iraq illustrated in the massacre of Scar's people, etc.), plus the animation is top notch and the dub is probably one of the best dubbing jobs ever done.

Inuyasha is my number 2. It would be number 1 if Kagome's constant time travelling would have reprecussions in her present...

Finally, Ghost in a Shell: Stand Alone Complex ranks number 3, since I haven't seen enough of it to really judge.

As I'm up to episode 50 of FMA now I can honestly say that this is one of the better anime series I've seen.
