Hi guys,

what's in your opinion the best sci-fi anime series ever? I'm asking so that I can maybe read and learn about new sci-fi anime I don't know, and I can have the chance to watch them in the future.

I think the best ever are Captain Harlock and Shin Seiki Evangelion. Other than Harlock I also like many other Leiji Mastumoto series. The older ones are cult. Cowboy Bebop is cool among the more recent stuff too.

if you like gundam, i'd recommend you watching Gundam Seed.

And Destiny when you're done watching that!

Best Sci-Fi anime... well, I've watched more Gundam Seed than any other, but I don't think I could put it over something lke Evangelion. In terms of Feature films, Akira is still the god of Sci-fi Anime IMO (the alternatively popular GitS seemed like overblown nonsense to me, even by Akira's high standard of "WTFness").

So true.

Like Kupo said, Akira is, like, well, the spectacle to watch if you're looking for a solid (and classic) sci-fi anime.

As far as my favorite, though, I have another:

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040

I absolutely love this anime! You can say that this is the "newer" version, as it comes after the OVAs (BB Crisis and BB Crash) and introduces new characters/ Knight Sabers.

This anime is great blend of stylistic character, music (oh, especially this!) and plot. Perhaps is isn't as prominent as say, CB, for example, but it truly does shines, imo. I guess that overall, I'd pick this one.
