98 and trigun maximum equally for different reasons! i have very fond memories of 98 because it was my first intro to trigun...one of my dear friends got bagels and rosé for us to bingewatch the entire thing. a completely separate event was when my bf and i first started dating for one of our first couple's trips away, when it was too hot for us to explore outside the wilderness we stayed inside and watched trigun 98. it was also the first time i saw them cry, when ww died. rather funny ww ended up being their favorite. so i have sentimental reasons attached to 98 with people i love.

trigun maximum broke me and is still one of the best manga i've ever read. i knew it would hit me but even knowing what was coming didn't prepare me for the first time experience of reading it.

sorry haha, this is a long answer to a short question. maybe it's a cop out to have two top favs but my reasons for liking them are so vastly different it feels fair.
