It’s tough picking one.
But that’s why I’m asking. It’s easy to do a top 3, even easier to a top 5.
But when you have to choose a singular show? When you’re forced to pare it down? What sticks above the others for you?
Babylon 5 for me.
It’s got plenty of issues but it’s still my darling and despite all the behind-the-scenes BS it’s still the best long-form sci-fi story I’ve seen onscreen.
Edit: Screwed up the title. Bad Dalacos.
For me personally it’s gotta be Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Such a fantastic story, and one of the few shows I’ve gone back and re-watched several times. Even got my gf, who is not into anime, to love the show too, though her favourite remains Avatar The Last Airbender.
Honorable mention to Pantheon too, that one kinda broke me for a couple days. Just wish we got a bit more of the show so season 2 didn’t have to be as rushed.
I quite liked season 1, still need to watch season 2.
Similar vein to that one I’d recommend if you haven’t seen it, Terminator: Zero. I went in with low expectations but it was surprisingly good.
Oh really? I gave up in like one of the first scenes where someone was dodging a minigun or something like that
Light spoiler: there’s a scientist that has conversations with AI that I found entirely intriguing. Can’t even remember much of the action.
Interesting, I’ll consider giving it another go at some stage then, thanks
