Okay all, here we go:
1. What is your favorite anime, and why?
2. Do you watch anime in English, or do you watch it in Japanese with subtitles? (I only watch with subtitles)
3. Who, in your opinion, is the most evil character in anime?

I think my favourite anime was, is and will most likely always be; Akira. It's epic beyond belief, grapples with heavy philosophical subjects, and is just beautiful, classic cel-animation.
I usually try to watch movies in their original language and with appropriate subtitles, be they in my native tongue or in english. I'm not terribly offended by dubbings, though.
The most evil character is beyond doubt Gendou Ikari from neon genesis evangelion.
He completely forfeits any notions of morality and ethics and basically makes a huge, bloody and horrible mess of everything, mankind included. Just for a chance to get his wife back.
That's bloody devotion.

!) My favorite anime would have to be Fullmetal Alchemist, because the story is so well planned out. I think 50 eps is perfect for a series length, and FMA does a good job making each episode exciting and worthwhile to the plot. Also, the art is very nice for an anime.
2) I watch anime mostly in English. I know that's blasphemy, but I feel if the dubs are good, it's more immersive than having to read subtitles.
3) Most evil character ever? Jeez, I guess I gotta go with Orochimaru. A lot of animes try to make the villain seem like he lost his/her way and is evil as a result of a twisted ideology. Orochimaru knows he's evil and just loves making people suffer.
Those are my answers from my limited Adult Swim anime viewing.

1.) I, personally, enjoy shojo. I'm not all for the violent stuff. Therefore, my favorite anime would have to be: Fruits Basket. Why? The characters are awesome, the story is okay, and it had really sad scenes. *sniff*
2.) I always watch anime in Japanese with English subs. If it's not available that way, I usually pass it up. This is because when they dub it, it never sounds right. Japanese have more animated and expressional voices.
3.) Umm...I really don't know of many REALLY EVIL characters. I actually do, just don't remember the names is all. : (

1. Hard question, probably Last Exile. Although It's not popular or anything, it's my type of story and world. It got pretty high ratings. Here's a list of the top 200 anime, if your interested. It's fan reviewed though.

I also like Bleach, FMA, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, I could go on forever.
2. Japanese with subtitles. I really don't like the English dubs. They ruin the whole story and the authenticity.
3. The most evil character? The main badguy from Bleach. I can't say who, since it'd spoil it, but he's real badass.

1. Shaman king. I read the book first volume and desided to look for it on youtube and 3 weeks later I had watched all 64 episodes and the Okamis.
2. Subtitles. I'm partially deaf so I have to have closed captioning, plus the japanese actors aren't as.. fake sounding as the english. Plus you get the original story. In english versions they change things that people in America might not understand like their holidays and celebrations.
3. MaloMyotismon, the final villian in Digimon season 2 ^_^ my favorite anime when I was little but the first time I remember truely hating a fictional character.

Favourite Anime - Gravitation because it is an indepth story with deep feelings and drama plus not too much comic relief. Also, it is short (only 13 episodes) so I can literally watch it again and again.
I usually will watch the show in english the first time, then I will watch in Japanese with subtitles. If I try to watch it in Japanese first, I find the english translation so stupid and I cannot watch.
Most evil character? Queen Beryl from sailer moon. Why? Cuz she would destroy her own generals if they failed her and she like to play with her victims. (She brainwashed Prince Darian and used him to hurt sailor moon).

1. Trinity Blood (for now) because it is so cool to me and the story plotline, I like. ^_^ But I originally like Shaman King.
2. I watch anime in English.
3. I think Hao Asakura from Shaman King is the most evil character because he wanted to wipe out humankind.
