Default 9/14/08 - 5 anime with best supporting cast

Need to get this rolling again... we'll start with something very very simple (as I have a bad habit of confusing people when I try to get fancy -.-') and vote for the 5 anime with the best supporting casts.

Self-explanatory here; most every anime puts plenty of time and effort into their main 1-4 characters, it's a matter of course. Not so many anime, however, put energy into developing a strong secondary cast, often opting for an array of simplistic models or stereotypes. Which series do you feel actually did a good job with these characters?

Happy Voting ^_^

***Voting Closed***

This week's top 5:

Monster
Fullmetal Alchemist
Baccano
Great Teacher Onizuka
Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann

Thanks for voting!

Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Easily.

Monster's pretty good too, though.

So I'll go with those for first two, then throw in Paranoia Agent, Baccano, and Fantastic Children.
