A comedy done by Rumiko Takashi. This show has become immensely popular in North American anime subculture, mainly because of its political incorrectness.

They are gundam Heavyarms, Wing, Shenlong, Deathscythe, and Sandrock. Their goal was to destroy as many Federation bases as possible.
One of the most popular animiation series with amazing mecha design. The original TV series was produced by Studio Nuo in 1982.

The ship, built by unknown aliens, crashed on Earth in 1999. After restoration and reconstruction by Unified Earth Government, it launched in 2009 under the attack of Zentradi. It was the last and the only defence of planet Earth by the time...
Its origins stem from a Sega Video game, as a lot of anime tends to, (e.g. Streetfighter) and was first classified as sci-fi TV drama, but is now seen as intelligent and psychological. The main theme of the story is the rise and fall of 14-year old Shinji Ikari. After a global disaster known as "Second Impact," "Nerv," a defense organization run by Shinji's estranged father, creates fourteen giant "robots" called "Evas," in order to defend the earth against alien beings known as "Angels." The "Evas" require special pilots, and Shinji is far from it as it can get. 
Creator Anno Hideako describes Neon Genesis Evangelion as "nothing more than his attempt to put his raw emotions on film...his emotive source seems to be the keen line between lust and the killing urge". Throughout the story, Shinji reaches the point of life and death, and has very psychological monologues about life and death. These monologues are often thought provoking and analyze the meaning of life, and his place within it, through his relationships with his estranged father, his mother Yui, who unknowingly to Shinji, has been consumed by Eva Unit 01 (Shinji's Eva), and the people around him.
released in Japan a few years ago. Unfortunately it never came to America, until now. These Pokémon are captured in special "Pokeballs" and trained as pets and fighters. The game is about you, a boy from a small town, who wants to grow up and be the best Pokémon trainer in the world. You have been chosen as one of two boys to go out and record all 150 Pokémon in your Pokedex, which is a small encyclopedia about Pokémon, so that the world can learn more about these amazing creatures. The other boy chosen is your rival Gary we will call him. He also wants to be the worlds best Pokémon trainer in the world and will stop at nothing to stop you from becoming what you both want to be. Anyway you start the game off by getting to choose one Pokémon to be your "starting" Pokémon to help you capture the other ones so you can record that Pokémon in your Pokedex. The show is pretty much the same as the game.
The story-line involves a teenage boy (Ranma Saotome) who has fallen into a cursed spring, to the effect that he physically becomes a woman, whenever doused with cold water. Hot water reverses the change; however, only temporarily, as he will change if doused again. Other characters inflicted with the curse include his father Genma, who becomes a panda, and his rival Ryoga, who becomes a tiny black pig. The title was created in 1987 and ended in 1996 (Japan). An interesting point about the show, is that it was created by a woman, and in country where women are often regarded as secondary to men, she has become increasingly popular.
