Favourite Anime You've Watched So Far

SO FAR, I can say 3 of them still sticks to me till now (Help me rid of my sins, oh dear 2-dimensional world called Anime)
Trigun
There's a rumour saying that a man had destroyed a city single-handedly and got away unscathed. Added to that mystery, there are no reports of any injuries or deaths to any of the civilians of said city. That man is called Vash the Stampede.
Even up till now, I can't tell if the world setting is considered sci-fi or steampunk (Maybe both) but all the same, it gives off a good vibe of the harsh environment the people lived. One of the old animes that I grew up with as a child, the story revolves around a man by the name Vash the Stampede. The characters were rather colourful in a personality sense as much as it is in the design as well. The use of Vash's gun as a weapon and combat was nerve racking, to say the least. A must watch for those who love story plots and mecha
Cowboy Bebop
Set in the year of 2071, a crew of bounty hunters sets off on their spaceship called Bebop, hoping to redeem a good reward that could make their lives easier and we, as viewers/audiences, get to explore philosophical concepts including existentialism, existential ennui, and loneliness.
... *Throws away script*
Practically an anime who teaches you how to be a badass, the anime setting brings us to the future where sci-fi is a normal thing to their lives. What I like about it was basically the neat tricks these main characters pulled to get their job done and they never seemed to do so without creating a drama. Lol. The anime has interesting characters and how they develop as the episode went on just makes me love it all the more.
Gintama
The land of the samurai. There was a time, long ago, when their country was called that name. Those dream-filled blue skies upon which the samurai gazed, are now filled with ships from strange worlds. The towns where the samurai once proudly walked are now filled with swaggering, arrogant aliens. This is their world. This is their city
Is it just me, or is this some weird alteration of Japan's history in the 19th century, where the samurai represents the Japanese and the aliens represent the western people that had just entered Japan?
Anyways, let me explain. Aside from the comedy, sick dirty jokes, memes and Copywrite, Gintama has never stopped in the amazement department when it comes from their fighting scenes and when the characters became serious. It makes my skin crawl during the hard battles they went through just to put a single enemy down when they knew just how weak they are as a human being. Every episode, even the fillers, has at least a single quote which teaches us about our lives and that not only were to make characters mature but the viewers as well.
Well, that's my answer and thanks for reading. See you, Space Cowboy~
