I have way too many favourites, but I think right now it would probably be FLCL ( Furi Kuri ) , beating out my old favourite, Cowboy Bebop (at least for the time being).

I really like it for a bunch of reasons.

First, the animation is really unique, stylistic, and clean. It's all done digitally but it doesn't really looks overly digital (if you follow me). The character design is great, and the animation is really fluid and innovative (in the first and last OVA, the transition to manga panels is incredibly well done).

The plot is also really great. It's different from any other anime out right now, for sure. Some people hate it because it's so strange, or hard to follow, but I like it for just that reason. It toys with the whole genre and keeps you engaged with the characters throughout the whole story. Naota is a great character, because he's so realistic. The homeless girl, Mamimi is also excellent, as she is believable and envokes emotion, as she is tragic and quite lonely. Haruko is interesting too. The things she does in the show keep it really intersting. Also the minor characters and how they appear (TV Boy, etc.) are good for the storyline.

The comedy in the show is great, and just absurd enough that it doesn't seem stupid, and the dramatic parts are well done.

Hmm . . . that's all I can say I think.
