For those Less Wrongians who watch anime/read manga, I have a question: What would you consider the top three that you watch/read and why?

Edit: Upon reading gwern's comment, I see how kinda far off topic that was, even for an open thread. So change the question to what anime/manga was most insightful into LW-style thinking and problems?

Hikaru no Go, of course.

Okay, so I'm 10 episodes into HnG and...where is the "LW-style thinking and problems"?

Hence the origin of the phrase, "tsuyoku naritai".

Wow, I can't believe I missed that. Although, if that is the only thing relevant to "LW-style thinking and problems" in HnG, then Death Note compares favorably to it.

Hence the origin of the phrase, "tsuyoku naritai".

That seems to be about as likely as "hyakunen hayai" or "isshoukenmei" or "ninja" or "mahou-tsukau uchuujin" originating from an anime.

(OK... not as likely as the last one.)

Well, that's where I got it.
