Top 20 Anime Series

I loved this show!!! It will forever have a spot in my anime collection. Mushroom Samba always made me laugh hard!

Spike is one of the greatest characters of all time! Need I say more?

Should be in top 5! Fantastic show. Great story and characters.

It should be number 1. It intensely mature and should be in a category far above dnangel and code geasse , which are child's anime.

it should be the number in the list of the greatest anime. it is a complete masterpiece. From the pictures , the tracks. characters, plot, the theme, the words chosen, the mysteries behind each character, ... everyrthing in it is the real meaning of anime. the coolness of Spike SPiegel is the best among the best.. :)

ugghhh, not to be negative, but I'm almost done watching hellsing and I finished bebop right before starting hellsing, and these animes are on two whole different levels. Bebop was brilliant. Hellsing was rather mediocre. Which made it higher on the list? Oh well, I guess I expected too much of popular opinion :P

its sad that this isnt top 3 along with code geass and death note

You don't even need to like anime to love cowboy bebop. That is why its the greatest.

Some used the perfect word to describe it above imo, Unique. Its a very original themed anime with "cool" characters that i would recommend to people that r getting into anime.

One of the best soundtracks out there. Non linear but still very good story some characters like Ed or Ein were not developed at their potential

My personal favorite. Great characters with unique backgrounds, oponents or "targets" had very dark and misterious stories. I did not want it to end, but that is life. And life is nothing but a dream...

Watching Bebop is like living life. No predictable plot for each episode, and episodes don't always connect to each other. But somehow every episode is entertaining. Best anime ever.

hooked the first time I heard the opening theme song. I love old western movies and books and this show had that feeling to it, except set in the future. and the best part, although set in the future, is that there are not giant robots

Definitely deserves to be in the top 10.

Agree with the last guest. And you are right it did feel too short, simply because it was one of those great animes that you never wanted to end. However, the creator specifically said that he wanted it to end the way it did to show that there is a finality to everything.

this should be number one and maybe not in this list cause a few of the ones above cowboy bebop shouldnt be in a great anime list. you can watch this series a hundred times and still want to watch it again the next day

Why is this not among the top 5, this anime is great, each episode is like a unique movie.

Time doesn't cast a favourable light on it ? Are you insane ! This HAS to be one of the greatest anime of all time and I ain't old and I saw plenty of recent anime before watching this series, and it still kicks serious ass ! There is no character that can compete with spike's coolness ! XD

This show is the greatest anime I have had the pleasure to watch. The episodes can get kind of trippy. But thats the way I like 'em (^ ^). Love the characters too!

It's a fairly good anime, for it's time I'm sure it deserved all the acclaim, but I don't think time casts a favourable light on it.

one of my favorite, action, fiction, slice of life, post-apocalyptic genre is one of my favorite

This should be up there ^^..

Its too sad the series, specially in the last episodes. If FMA was not so actual, then bebop would be third withot doubts.

Loved this anime, but it felt like it ended way to soon. I guess I just got caught up in it because I didn't even realize I was watching the last episode until a couple minutes before it ended!

Awsome! The reference of action anime series. a

It's perfect. Great action, characters, story, music, and it's one of a kind!

One word, Masterpiece...

Amazing Anime. Never watched something b4 that made me have such a diverse range of emotion. THE MOST GUT WRENCHING ANIME EVER!!!!

It was a good anime but yet so sad

Clannad is the best!!! Afterstory should be number 1 on this list and clannad, number 2. this truly is the best anime ever with sad and happy moments moulded into one! Who's with me?

Clannad shows that you don't need ninjas and swords for i to be good. It just IS good. The way it's written, the way it's portrayed, the characters, the story, the animation, the music etc. that's all what makes it so good and it definetely deserves to be in the top 10. I think Kanon and Air should be in the top 10 as well. Having one Key anime on the list and not the others kind of looks misplaced.

I love clannad! The after story was to depressing for me but the first one made me laugh along with those dramatic moments and stuff that could make you cry but not to sad. perfect!

Wher is CLANNAD: After Story?

After story is better

Worst anime ever. Just joking!! I'm glad Clannad is on the list. Good thing it's in the top 10.

This was truly an amazing work

The most beautiful and touching piece of work I've ever seen in my life of film.

A really great example of how an anime SHOULD be done. Clannad shows you don't need action and violence non-stop. It has morals, values and life lessons with a very subtle touch. After Story is easily one of the best animes I've seen. You look at it and then you relate to your own life. This may change your perspective on what you need. Why anyone would hate on such a lovely tale is WAY beyond me. Fantastic anime. Highly reccommended.

This anime is like a guarantee for crying. Sad but funny at the same time. Just an awesome anime.

Two words, Awesome anime

clannad is a very touching story where a high school student helps people with anything that is troubling them along the way he collects these special orbs he also has a girlfriend named nagisa and many many friends i love that anime soo much almost as much as full metal panic

OMG THIS ANIME WAS SO SAD I LOVE IT SO MUCHHH!!!

I just finished and this HAS to be in the top 5 i mean it was a great story with twist and turns diffrent from the last.It litteraly made me cry almost every episode of season 2.

my favorite anime of all time enough siad

IT'S THE BEST I CRIED ALL THE TIME THIS ANIME WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED!!!!!! ALLL HAIIIIILLLLLL CLANNAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idk it was do slow I couldn't keep watching

OMG! its the best anime ever! the saddest one too! i cried at the end, its just sooooo sad!

Ushio is the cutest girl in any anime I've ever watched. The ups and downs of this anime were flawless and emotionally gripping compared to other works. Definitely should be top 5.

i wish, theres a season 3 of clannad! i want to see ushio growng!

its a great anime....a must watch anime series. but i must say, it lacks with good and appreciable ending!

I mean clannad must be in the top 3 ! its the best anime ive ever seen !

Has to be in the Top 10, an example of a great 5/5 anime. Great writing & Characters, also wonder use of music to the point it made me shed tears (Basters) Lol loved it. I want future anime to fellow in Clannads Example in good writing in story. A++

why isnt this in the top 5 its amazing and for those who says its sucks i hope you get to hear kotomi's violin being blasted in your ear!

damn..!! I LOVE THIS series.. a friendof mine recommended it to me then as i watch it, its simply fantastic ..

Go Tomoyo and Kyou!!!!!!

The best anime ever! I cried at most of the episodes. Very funny though. I just love it! Everything is great about it! The episodes is good. The after story is great. The game is excellent!

my fav aside from hell girl.

I have just finished watching clannad, and I think it is the best anime ever. This is the first anime that makes me cry especially during the death of nagisa and ushio.

This is one of my favorites... the first season is great, but the second season is what really makes it amazing. It's so sweet, happy and sad at the same time. You can't help but cry.

It should be no.1. BEST ANIME EVER!!!

Love it much,.. Funny and Sad,..i love it all,.. Thought that i would cry till the very end,..but i was surprised Happy ending is way better of course,.. :D

i think clannad after story is best overall anime ever it is true that KEY had make a great great anime The music of clannad is awesome, Dango daikazoku is the best song tell about family that i ever heai think clannad after story is the anime ever you will never see such a anime tell about family better than clannad after story it tell us that one of people need to protect the important think we had finally i can say if you don't watch this anime it will waste your life trust me and you will find a beautiful and important thing in your life after watch this amazing anime

Best anime series ever!!!! =D

Its strange that this anime is rated so low on this list, considering that the series, especially the 2nd season, are frequently rated as masterpieces on almost every anime fan's top lists. Its one of my favourites.. the character development is superb, especially of the two main protagonists. DP

i cried a lot XD its very touching and plot is good

it is an awesome anime, but the after story is betta, although, i was confusin at the end...

dango dango dango dango dango dango daikazoku.

Apart from the ending where I kind of wanted to shoot something, I have to say this is certainly one of the best anime out there. Not sure why it's not in the top 10...

best anime I've ever watched. It's different from all those fight/ninjas animes, it's just awesome. The plot and stoyline are great, what a master piece.

Hitman Reborn has a higher rank than Clannad?! Clannad's plot cannot even be compared to Hitman Reborn's, I mean HR plot is just the typical save the word or whatever stuff. Clannad should be no.1 if not 2nd or 3rd.

The best anime in the romance/drama category. Youll cry...alot... and the story is great. Tomoya has the best character developement ever!

Awesome anime. I wept like a baby during After Story, the only anime I've cried during.

Great history, awesome characters, and one of the best OST in the Anime Industry.

It's one of my top 10, especially the second season named Clannad After Story, I even cried while watching one of the final episodes, I never cried while watching anime or movie before... which means this anime is just masterpiece, at least for me

Very mysterious anime. But you see alot of deaths... >< Nevertheless it is good.

I can't say?...... but it's good.

I've ever watched it but it seems awesome all my friends talk about it :3

one of the best..

this is...wrong. meh, probably a girl thing.

this anime is awsome. Dark has some beautiful black wing. Dark is also my favorite character. I wish there was more episodes though.

i hate this anime... the manga was amazing, anime ruined it =/

OMG. this anime is simply beautiful.

I barley started watching this anime thanks for spoiling everything teenage girl try to do less spoiling from now ok

Just finished all 26 episodes. It was toony, but good. You really need to be a teenage girl to like this one. The story and dialog could use a lot more work. There were just too many things that only happen in dreams to make it flow and have it make better sense.

this anime is one of my favorite because of the way the story constructed .I ALSO LOVE how the love story has been connected from the the past up to the present time!!!!!!!

OMG I loved the characters in this, they were just moving and beautiful. the story line is good but the ending left you wanting more. Only criticism is that the badguy didn't get his freeking homo ass kicked more often, SERIOUSLY!! Dark is just gorgeous and such a cool guy, the girls are more or less all annoying

beautiful

Amazing anime. Better than most I have seen. Good plot, beautiful characters and amazing twists. Almost made me cry at some points.

it was great

wtf! how the hell is this number 6! i mean it was a good anime but not as good to be no. 6

Do you mean Elemental Gelade? It is an amazing series!!! I thought it was really good!

i love this anime is actually worth watching. it has a really interesting story. one of my favorite anime ever. the reason u should really like this anime (mostly girls) its because its a really well balanced love and action story

Should be higher on the list. one of the best action anime I have seen, and an awesome story line.

Er If you liked this or didn't like this, Fate Zero (the prequel to this, but it came out afterwards) is way better in ALL aspects, and Fate Zero totally changes your view on some of the characters in fate/stay night.

Ah, fyi Fate lovers (i am one myself)... but the whole series is based off a hentai book! there is a reason some of the characters and story only go so far - lol. But to its credit, it's still very entertaining; the prequel is awesome and the movie is as well. I think once they realized there was a great story to build off of they did. If you like Fate Stay Night you MUST watch Fate Zero and Ultimate Blade Works.

best anime ever

one of the best , simply toooooo best. I just wished it didnt end so quickly and it didnt have a sad ending. it just feels sad that saber leaves shiro.

I've finished this anime 2 days ago and i think it's acceptable but it shouldn't be ranked 8th it should be like 35-40 it's pissing me off to see animes like ergo proxy and claymore and they didn't even reach 20

All of my friends said they loved this show. I watched it from start to finish and yes it did have good moments, but I just can't see how this show got such good reviews. I found it quite uninteresting and predictable.

the anime is good and it was a nice plot with that they could have developed the story with each of the 7 epic heroes and the ending is terrible...i dont know about you guys but i wished for a fairy tale ending :P.......but it is still one of my favourite anime and it will always be

This show was so bad that i couldn't finish it.

The Game is one of the best visual novels of history to come(also Tsukihime game). If you played it, you will enjoy the serie 100%, becouse it may not say it, but is directed to that public. The characters of this production are rather unique in their overall history, personality and design balance. I just will never forget this incredible experience. And yet i am waiting the Heavens Feel route movie...yeeeii-!

It was a really good anime in my opinion. It was a very funny anime with a good story line.

I hate this anime. No offense. But the way he treated Kaede at the end was just simply terrible.

loved it but really care for the ending

I liked the anime, pretty good & has slot of funny ass moments.

A poorly adapted video game with a very animation

Probably one of the worst shows that i have ever seen.

girls are so sexy in this one and story is good

An incredible anime! I can't believe it has stopped at episode 45! (No idea why!) Just when I thought that the story would be over, they introduced something else, new and amazing into it and added a few twists... completely brilliant! The art at first took me a while to get used to, and so did remembering the names, but it all comes together to make something brilliant!

Definitely the best anime I have seen so far. Unparalleled character development really makes this one unique.

This should be in top 10. One of the best animes ever created. Hot girls who are so damn hardcore.. we need more anime like this.

That was not the ending they just stopped at ep.26 it should have a been a 100+ ep. series it kinda sux they stopped it at 26 it was an amazing show

epic anime but terrible ending

This anime has a great storyline, full of twists and hardcore fights. You won't be able to guess what will happen next. Also, It's one of those animes where the main character starts out weak but finds and unleashes powers within itself later on. It's the anime that once you start watching you will get glued to your monitor and will not de-tach until the anime is finished. And once it's done you will be thinking about it for another month, wishing that it had continued.

Claymore is fantastic. It is everything a good anime series should be. Touching well told storyline. Great characters that are more then just talking heads. Great animation/art design. Great voice acting and fantastic music. I really do believe that Claymore is one of the ten best Anime series ever. I just wish more people would watch it and voice their opinions. I also wish they would do a new series covering the rest of the manga.

Very good! Seemed to drag a bit for the last few episodes, and the ending left it open for a second season... but one hasn't been done yet, but I heard they might be working on it currently. But still a really good anime, with amazing characters, a very unique plot, and a beautiful soundtrack. I deffinately reccomend!

One of the best animes I ever watched, sure worth any minute of watching, too bad they didn't finished it decently.

this anime is one of the best I've seen the fighting is great and the characters are awesome but they ruined it in the last few episodes it's far better in the manga the story is more solid there

loved every moment of the anime :)

This anime had the potential to be GREAT. But do to a lack of funding the episodes were cut short.

Man.. I hate to admit that this anime is end. if only its follow the manga this anime is even greatest and come front even the top 3 . Such a waste

i cant blieve this only made 45 that is crap!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved it until episode 20-ish Everything is amazing but the ending is so terrible.

i loved this anime, it was one of the best anime series i watched, clair is my favorite of course ^_^!

this anime is freakin awesome! wish they made more eps. could have watch liked 100 more!

its an awesome anime, was hooked. But since the ending differed so much from the manga, theres very little chance for a season 2 :'(

it's a very good anime overall, it's an action, horror, supernatural and slice of life anime, I still remember the scene Teresa crying while holding Clare

I love Claymore for some reason, I can watch it over & over.

This anime is cantered on monster hunters: the claymores. The main plot is quite simple: revenge. It’s a nice fighting anime, a match last for 1 or 2 episode max and when you have a dramatic scene the character don’t come back to life miraculously. If you like realistic fighting anime this is for you! (rated mature)

omg i love this show

i like some of the episodes, but the character need more personality.... i can't explain but is something on them that is just not exited

Love this show!!!

this show is kinda pervy but its good

thnx i did'nt know that there is a season 3 of rosario vampire

Watched it in less than 1 day :D. It was extremely funny and hopefully they make a Capu 3.

lol, really funny anime

BEST ANIME EVER.

It was funny, but didn't follow the storyline in the Manga at all. The Manga is much more intense and violent, not to mention potent.

season 3 please!!!

Probably the most hilarious anime I have ever seen. The plot is alright, but don't expect anything hardcore. An anime is pretty light and will not make you hold your breath, but it will definitely make you laugh to your tears.

this fu...ed up anime is rated 16 that's higher than claymore and ergo proxy and..... you guys are ......no comment

awsome ANIME, I love it ,but I vount say wy!(GIRLS)

I watched it in a single day! 93? are you kidding? It should be at least in top 20

THIS WOULD BE 5 IN MY LIST, LOVED IT!!!

it was funny, lots of fanservice. Season 2 started censoring stuff, and 10/13 eps were fillers...seriously. Now that I think about it, the only real plot in the anime was in the last 3 eps of each season.

Love this one, they probably set a new record in panty shots back when they made it. Funny anime with a unique plot, season 2 wasn't as good as the first though.

Comedy, high-school, harem, supernatural. I guess that describe it best, enjoy!

admit it. it'sjust because of the tsundere.

this deserves top 3 easy.

Shana is a great series and TOTALLY deserves to be in the Top 20!!! Amazing story and superb artwork. The melon bread industry should make her a mascot.

really good! SHANA! :D I love the opening song 1. teehee

ONE OF THE BEST ANIME ^^,

The best anime I have ever seen. I related to many of the characters on so many levels but most of all i related to the creator the most. It was the first show that made me think and have a different opinion every time I watched it. If I ever sink into a great depression I can only hope to come out of it with a masterpiece half as good as evangelion.

The original series on DVD was much better than the bluray's. Seemed like the BD version was cut severely, and they changed some of the plot to make sense of what they cut out. Nevertheless, in my opinion, should be number one. Everything about this anime spoke to me on another level; the makers of this were genious!

Legend, should be much much higher on that list.

i agree with the first two comments about this classic. many of the people who watched this anime was disappointed because of the confusing ending . even so this is a really enjoyable anime that teaches you about important lessons of life.

Spelling check: reudly= rudely This was all done to the mentally challenged author= This was all done by a mentally challended author (mental disability)

i agree. NGE should be ranked higher, at least for the movies and the manga. end of evangelion simply blew my mind. and those rebuild of evangelion movies are definitely worth recommending

69? D: wth.. Neon Genesis Evangelion is the greatest anime ever! I know its hard to understand, and the endings just confuse everything if you weren't really paying attention. And now with the Rebuild of Evangelion, c'mon! Its beautiful in everyway. You are not gonna find any other anime that is so messed up, confusing, mysterious, philosophical, psychological and with such unique plot than Neon Genesis Evangelion. I still can't get why is ranked so low... really =(

I got really sick of Shinji for some reason, but the characters overall are fairly well rounded. I loved the series overall, and the ending is fairly confusing i have to admit, but the alternate ending (End of Evangelion) is slightly less confusing.

this should be much higher anybody who ranks it so low obviously didn't get it. In regards to the last 2 episodes though I do see how some people can be like WTF but as far I am concerned they are a stroke of genius.

I never really got the ending to this one though. The last 2 episodes just messed up the whole thing for me.

It's a great anime, especially if you like apocalyptic drama. Now, for anyone just watching this to kill time, you probably won't enjoy it; however, anyone who has ever dealt with the hardship of depression and many other forms of intense emotion, will see a little of themselves in this series. Sure, the story line is choppy and Shinji (the main character) can be annoying, but he represents all of us as kids, losing our innocents to reality and the adult world around us. Like a coming-of-age tale.

It’s a classic of anime series cantered on a fourteen years old boy who seek happiness alongside with a meaning to life. The plot is complex and unfortunately has some gaps. Still it’s really enjoyable and the animation is correct (it’s old).I agree with the previous comment.

Could be better. In my opinion all interesting characters were pushed to the side for Shinji, and the pacing is awful, but it's a classic and the characters are fir the most part great.

this anime was amazing but the ending was really sad, it made me cry. im not really a crying kinda girl but the end of this anime had me bawling like a baby! D:

The first anime I ever watched and my second favorite anime of all time. The ending is so sad and is the only time I ever cried while watching anime :)

The ending... well anime don't normally make me feel like crying but this one did. The rest of the anime is freaking awesome with a great plot and some cool main characters.

The ending is sooooo sad! i actually cried!.....but the anime is soooo good, really worth watching

LUV IT I LUV EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!

ONE PIECE SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 IT's THE BEST ANIME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One Piece is the best anime ever, you must be CRAZY to not put one piece number 1 in your list... I'm disappointed.

What to say??? can anyone ever make a long anime better than one piece...... i doubt.... itz filled with both soft n dark humor... non stop action....and excellent cheesy n flashy dialog.... the character portrayals given in one piece are the best.. can u show me any other anime character which can match d awesomeness of luffy zoro orshanks??? it may not be no. 1 as many people prefer short anime over long anime.... but must be in Top 10 and obviously it should be placed highest rank among all long animes...

why is one piece in number 25??? one piece is the anime most seen in everyworld (except in america cause 4kids ruined it). his list is just the opinion of the creator of the list if u go to any survey site you will see one piece is the number 1 in every one of them

Great Anime. Cheesy at the beggining but gets may better. And one for thing... HOW ON EARTH IS THIS NUMBER TWENTY FIVE IT SHOULD BE IN THE TOP FIVE OVERALL I MEAN ITS FAMOUS ITS RIGHT NEXT TO NARUTO AND NARUTO SHIPPUDEN AND BLEACH AND FAIRY TAIL I MEAN COME ON.

Best anime ever seen .... Never miss any show desurve number 1

How isn't this number 1? this is the funniest, amazing anime out there. You cannot get better than this. I can agree though that there are some animes that are so good that they can serpase one piece, but it should've at least been in the top 10 or top 5. I do agree to some of the animes on this list like vampire knight and the others. But this should've been higher. Anyone who is in love with manga should have already seen this show, black butler, death not, angel beat, and initial d, at least a couple of these. And if you haven't, you are totally missing out.

I gave it a point and it rose from 29 to 28~

One Piece at 30!!!!!!!! That's the most absurd thing I have ever heard!

if i am to decide which anime is the best, definitely ONE PIECE and Fairy tail will come second.. and naruto would be third.... i just love them all... luffy. natsu and naruto.. the three idiots :)

seen the map of votes,.. no wonder its in the 30th place,.. if you understand even a bit of the japanese language, youll know why its JAPAN'S #1 BEST SELLING MANGA EVER WITH OVER 36 MILLION COPIES SOLD... AND JAPAN'S MOST WATCHED ANIME.. the dialogues the author uses are intricately chosen to maintain hilarity of the anime's characters... the art is unique and goes well with every character . .... the most important thing is that as the episodes goes,... the maturity and hilarity of the characters are very evident.. usually as the anime goes on the anime tends to become more mature and dark and dragging plots, this anime doesn't. plus the fact that the fight scenes are EPIC!! THE BEST ANIME AND MANGA EVER!! IVE SEEN A LOT OF ANIMES BUT NONE LIKE ONE PIECE!! wait,.. there is one anime trying---- FAIRYTALE,... watch it and you'll notice the similarities.... although FAIRYTALE is not about PIRATES its about MAGICIANS,.. i think

the best anime ever!!!!

Man I love this AWESOME anime, seriouslly try it out a lot of negative words abotu how bad the anime was got out in 2008-09 and i didn't watch it but then i checked it out and i learned you shouldn't let other ppl tell you wats bad/good check it out ur self

I am now COMPLETELY OBSESSED with One Piece! The plot, the creativity, the art, the humor, the brutality, the craziness, the unbelievableness, the BEST ANIME EVER!!!

This anime is overrated in my opinion. It is incredibly unbelievable. I do not see how an anime can be one of the best if it isn't believable. Also, most of the best animes have no more than about a hundred episodes. When it is dragged out too long it starts losing its effect.

hahah onepiece fans are so busy watching the anime, that they havent have the time to vote for it. But man, with 560+ episodes and still ongoing, and the story gets more and more interesting, arent you even intrigued that this anime is THE LONGEST ANIME SHOW EVER!! why?? simply BECAUSE ITS THE NEW KING OF ANIME!! and for me ONEPIECE AND DEATHNOTE ARE BOTH NUMBER 1!! but what made onepiece "THE KING" is that with its long list of episodes, it didnt became dull(hahah unlike naruto) its author Eichiro Oda is a ****in creative hell of a storywriter!!!!

the comments i read make me laugh XD OP has so many messages? whatever,it's not the only anime with massages to convey,even sailor moon had as many as OP,for me it's just a good anime!Mainly overrated by the fans as the best thing ever,as if....

Lots of people dont want to watch it becuz they think tht this is too popular and their too cool for it. But this show brings you magic. Im a christian and i love God. I learn from God, and i learn from OnePiece. OnePiece is about friendshipsnakama, brotherhoods, love, everything. Luffy and his nakamas all went through hardships from being an forgotten, hated individual in the world so this show shows you lots of connection between people and people. You learn lots of realistic reasonings of the real world from this anime. Real good. Hilarious characters too. RECOMMEND

THIS SHOULD BE FIRST LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Anime.. cant say anythng more to impress any1 :)

dude this thing is dope!!.......the best anime ever!!

Are you stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is the best anime ever!!!!!!!

I've watched a lot of anime, and I can call One Piece among my top 3. It is absolutely brilliant. Don't be fooled by the character drawing style in the beginning because later it gets much better and not only do you adapt to it, but you start loving it! You absolutely have to watch One Piece if you are looking for an epic anime with the best fight scenes, abilities, and yeah... boobs...

the hell is this at 40? top 10 at least

it should be among the top 10 anime At first its a bit childish but thats just his character, later on it gets serious with intense fight scenes and humerous it's a creative anime.

great show!!!

Don't get fooled by some of the character looks of this anime. Although some of the characters look childish, this anime brings your some of the most hardcore fights where characters have the most unique abilities that you will not see in any other anime. Anime has a very good story-line and even though it has so many episodes, there will always be something new to keep you interested. This anime has its own unique jokes that are hilarious which you will not find in any other anime Overall, this anime deserves to be in top 10.

Gotta say One Piece is Brilliant!! I will admit for those anime fans who are used to perhaps anime with less idealistic story lines and sharper art style I can understand trepidation. However i watched this after i was half way through Bleach and Naruto and was surprised that a could watch it out of shear boredom:P Well choreographed fight scenes, Hilarity and a sprinkling of emotional moments with makes them all the more intense makes this a series worth investing time in. And to all the unreasonable nay-sayers and fan boys, theres a reason its the No.1 selling manga and one of the highest rated animes of all time...and no matter how much you attempt to force your opinion on the world nothings gonna change that.

the best anime ever

best anime ever,,, i still cant get over i just keep on watching, till now in chapter 500+ still hoping for more :),, definitely no.1!!!

i love this anime so much! It's just genius! :3

Two phrases: 1. CP9 arc 2. War of the best arc If you watched those two, you now this is better than Naruto, Bleach, Death Note (been trying to finish DN for two years, always get bored, same with Code Geass). It continues to get more intense and the world keeps opening up without feeling forced or artificial (like Bleach)

This is better then Code Geass and death note, i don't know why idiots don't put this at the top of the 10

One Piece Totally rules, Great storyline and Awesome characters that are very unique especially Sanji.... Hes the MAN!!

yeeeeeh i like luffy he is very funny

Great characters and a great adventure! And awesome anime to turn to at anytime for a fun story or good times :) ~Reira

This list is soo messed up. why is this not at the top? what people fail the see is that this is a very artistic anime. the characters designs are unique. they view it as childish. but the values instilled in this story runs pretty deep.

ONE PIECE SHOULD BE IN TOP 3!!! GOOD STORY LINE, ACTION,COMEDY,DRAMA, ADVENTURE, WITH MORAL LESSONS, WHY IT IS NOT IN TOP 3??? ARE YOU DRUNK???

Really 50???!! This anime has EVERYTHING anyone could ask for and then some! And it's about pirates!! Best anime EVER!!!

BEST ANIME EVER CREATED numba 1 on my list

this is a really really great manga, one of the best. the anime however is the biggest pile of garbage ever created. the animation runs at something like 5 frames per second, it's like watching a flip-book.

Next to DBZ i gotta say this is the best anime out there. At first its a bit childish but thats just his character, later on it gets serious with intense fight scenes and hilarious random humor.

please watch before ranking how come this anime in number 52 I also give one piece #1 in my anime list hands down.

why is this anime rated 52?? it should be like ....90 I didn't like the characters or the soundtracks it's long and boring even more boring than Naruto I think bleach is the best compared to naruto and onepiece

The best there is... The best there was.. And the best there ever will be!! One piece ---> friendship, moral values, dream, determination, laughter, sorrow, family, political insights (the f*cking celestial dragons), existence of a triangular society and the rise of a revolution, unjust approach and racial discriminations (slave trading, mermen), both good and evil side of justice. and many more! In which you f*cking ninja's or ghost slayers failed to have!

one piece must be the most awesome anime evar!!!! it is so cool.at first i thought it was boring but then it got better and better and better. this should be no 1!!!!!!!!!!!i dont know why people hate this. IT IS AMAAAAAAAZING!

One piece has got to be one of the best things ove ever watched who the hell who choose to put this below number 3 Bleach is also amazing and naruto is gd too all of them shud be in the top 10

pissed this should be number 1 (cough) awesome

my first and best anime series..i love the strawhats

One Piece is by far the best anime I've ever watched, and I've watched quite a bit. The uniqueness of the plot and the absolute EPICness of some of the scenes is beyond great. I will say i hate how some arcs drag on and on and some of them are just stupid (thriller bark, exept for the end) but some scenes like the one where Luffy punches the celestial dragon are just so freaking EPIC, Its such a great show and I love it

This one is on third place on the top of my list, after Naruto and Bleach.

LOL it really needs some fan support

i just love one piece i've seen it like 4 times now just anoing they only release 1 episode a week. would be nice with a 100 more episodes to watch instead of wating for new episodes all the time

Enel saga, in my opinion, drags out too much, however humerous and creative anime. This anime is meant to keep you, comically entertained and enthralled by the fight scenes. Consdering the fact that we don't see any of the 4 emperors/ admirals/ 5 warlords fight- untll episode 400+ tells you that they dragged out the anime/ manga ALOT. So, if you plan on watching this anime, don't expect it to be like deathnote or code geass, just keepa clam mind, and watch a few episodes a day- it's meant for entertainment however, there are some seriously EPIC fights- supernatural fights are what this anime all about. But naruto tops it, as its story line is more serious- which some people don't like, but I do- since I can comprehend the situation- however younger ages 'children' can't- like, lets say below 13 years.

I agree with the last comment although my best is naruto among three of them.In this anime the events are really slow but characters are really funny that you never get bored.And believe me you really like the character's stories.

Very fun anime...I cant put it on my top as i cant put the other 2 popular shounens (Naruto and Bleach) but its still my favourite between the three of them...makes me laugh lots of times...

This is currently the highest view anime if Japan (well besides to classical ones, which are like the simpsons or tom and jerry- basically entertianing kids shows). This is not an overrated anime, it is an EPIC one. Episodes 1-100 are awesome, however 144-195 (ENEL SAGA) are a bit boring. If you want a LONG anime yet interesting at the same time, this is for you. Better than bleach, same as naruto/ DBZ.

Decent, but very overrated. It would maybe be top 50.

This is a really cool anime, but I don't think Naruto should be at number six, since it's gotten so amazing towards what I think might be the ending... still One Piece never gets old.

By so far i have watched 62 episodes.. And i think it's AWESOME!!! I love luffy and his crew :3 definitely worth watching! *now going to watch episode 63...* :D

BEST ANIME EVER!!!!!!!! SHOUD BE IN TOP 3 :D

Great anime. My Fav one, so changed stuff around. OP now on #4, Fairy Tail (My no. 2 atm) on #5 :D

ATM this is the best anime. also naruto shippuden is getting pretty awesome

Without a doubt one piece is in the top 3 ongoing series out there. Its impossible too describe how awesome this anime is. The anime gets serious when it needs too and its funny almost all the time its extremely fun to watch. I'm shocked its not on the top 3, I give one piece #1 in my anime list hands down.

Undoubtedly one of the best ongoing series out there. When I first started i was like "Who the hell wants to watch an anime about pirates who eat weird fruits and get weird powers?". And the animation looked cartoony and the main character was kinda lame seeming. But man as i kept going i couldn't stop. I still wait for Sunday ever week to catch the next episode. Ive dumped naruto and bleach as it kept goin downhill but this one It just keeps getting better. Must watch!

this is suppose to be in top 3, why you put this here...do you really know how to rank, low class anime lover!!!

one piece is no 1 anime so change its position into no 1

this is a good anime, but luffy's voice is just too goddamn annoying as is naruto's

weird ! how come this anime in number 89 ???????????????? best anime of all time ! no kidding !!

this has to be the one in top five. Some episodes make you cry and some make you smile. recommend this to all.

ONE PIECE at 81??a travesty!!...ive seen a lot of anime this is the greatest-no.1 in my list...for action,humour,making me dream...and most of all giving us characters that we love!!long live one piece!!

ITS OLD BUT THE BEST COMEDY IN OLDER ANIME TOTALLY HILLARIOUS, Without being too vulger. I would have my kids watch this!

It is a good anime, but they drag everything in this anime.

It's hilarious how it takes Luffy 8-9 episodes to fun across a field the size of around 2 football fields, accompanied with the appropriate amount of screaming and drama. The Marineford Arc is pretty boring but this should have made top 10 anyways on the account of it being hilarious and serious at the same time. Can't wait till the timeskip is animated.

Number 1, hands down, out of hundreds of anime, this one destroys them all.

I can't belive One Piece is number 81 on this list.. Whats up with that?! - It's a great adventure with tons of challenges. And funny suff, USOPP! This serie is seriously underrestimated. It should atleast be over "Sailor moon" or Crappy Pokémon along with Naruto Shippuden..

Hilarious and Serious when it needs to be

one of the worst anime i ever watched, i don,t know how i could be able to watch this again after over 70 episodes watched... tuned in to see the 400th, not much change, was like no evolution worth mentioning...

i lovee one piece watched every episode and the only one that wasnt good was the very last i threw a chairs through my windows when i saw it. but its definatly worth watching id put it as top 15 at least .

I love this show.

Definitely a top 5 anime... how much crack did you smoke as a child? this is so wrong

This should be number one hands down! Who the heck is spamming negative points LOL. This anime is the ONLY anime I've seen that has gone SO long without any real degradation of quality. Naruto is good but has a lot of "lame" fillers. The One Piece fillers are more fun to watch when they do occur.

this should be in the top 5 along with naruto, are you drunk?

meilleur anime

# ONE ALL THE TIMES BEST OF THE BEST >>>>>>> YAHHH LOFY

the anime made me want to read the whole manga

I loved this anime. Probably cause of all the boobies haha

Love this anime both story and picture!

Avatar is not anime btw. American Made, on nickelodeon dime no less

Watched this one a long time ago and enjoyed it very much. I agree this one should be higher.

Without doubt my favourite anime. Watch it subbed, the English dub isn't good and you'll miss out on Mugen's AWESOME Japanese voice.

should defino be higher????

Amazing! One of few anime's that both me and my girlfriend loved.

trully worth your time

the best one besides =dbz naruto bebop and avatar the last airbender

Too be honest the simple characters and plot line truly made this anime fun and enjoyable. I found it to be 100% original in direction and soundtrack compared to everything else ive seen. RIP Nujabes

Great anime, I liked.

it's a very good action anime with nice ost, a bit slow to begin maybe.

No plot progress in the beginning, then rushed in then end. Felt a little bit weird about the grand plot, but each episode is really good. Felt like Bebop, but the ending isn't as good. Mainly because there are three main characters that don't stand out from each other. Great anime nonetheless, with the best sword fights in any anime.

Brilliant and short. Pretty, well thought out and doesn't over stay its welcome. Love it.

this anime is so good. watch it and youll understand what i mean. its one of those animes that you can watch and rewatch all the time without getting bored. superb style, story, artwork and music

Truly one of the best animes out there. It's not like a "Dragonball" imitation that has characters becoming stronger and being better; it short so you can reflect and enjoy the series after. The lead characters are normal--yes they're not great and that what makes them stand out from other animes that have outstanding lead characters that cannot be beaten and with negligible weaknesses that are eliminated in the long-run. This deserves to be in a higher spot--within the top 10. Animes should not be rated by comedy or the millions watching them but by artistic beauty, content, relevance, and uniqueness.

This is absolutly a top 3 for me, love the ending and the fact that it is only 26 (or somthing) episodes makes you think about it long after you watched it all

A great anime!, should be higher than this, this one has much humour in it, and great fights, this ones number 4 for me. GO WATCH IT AND UR SUCKED UP BY IT!:)

Honestly one of the best storyline I have ever seen, as well as best character development. The only anime that deserves to be above this is Cowboy Bebop.

Cowboy Bebop in reverse. Set in the past, played out with a relatively futuristic soundtrack. Both introduced a primary plot early in the series, but then engaged a non-linear story until coming back around in the end. I like both series, and Bebop did it first, but I think Champloo did it better.

this is one of the best animes out there, great story, great characters alot of action, and it has this amazing soundtrack that no other anime could dream of having.

Loved this show. Great fight scenes from what were really just 'ordinary' characters that each brought a seperate style to the storyline. Loved how the odd ending played out too. Wish this series had been longer.

Was surpriced on how good this one was even though they didn't really get anywhere in the story line until the end. But the animation where amazing and the action scenes was really really good. I wish it was longer.

It may not be number one because its story and characters are plain and simple. It gains popularity because of its fights mainly, which are totally awesome.

Then why is this not number one.

In my opinion this one should be number one, great action, great soundtrack, this show rocks!

this is my favorite anime of alll time

HILARIOUS anime! It has a good but not great story-line. Characters are well drawn. Not so much fighting in this anime but more of a character interaction and a light love-story included. However, the main character is unbelievable dense and social skills lacking guy :) which makes an anime extremely hilarious.

Full Metal Panic is better than all of this garbage. Also, where the hell is Ghost in the Machine?

the storyline is great..can't find a story as comic with great fights and love! but if i'd have to say something similar i'd say Gurren Lagann :P FMP 4ever!

BEST ANIME EVER I AGREE WITH EVERYONE ON THIS ANIME, its slow in the beginning but then becomes a lot better on the other seasons

Very enjoyable. If you like comedies involving relationships.

LOVE IT! best series ever!!

TSR was my favourite, especially the last episode. Tessa is so cute.

PAHAHAHAHA. MUST SEE!!!! funny as hell.

Funny as hell, specially Fumoffu! Tessa's voice in Japanese dub is simply one of the cutest voice I've ever heard.

ive seen alot of anime and this is for sure one of my favourites

If u combine all the three seasons, u get a great anime, one of my all time favorite . The first season is a bit slow but the 2nd and 3rd season are great, top of the class material

Agreed

Very underrated anime

so sad yet amazing anime

this is not the children under 14 years old got it

Gunna just go ahead and post on this old thread: I've watched prolly 18 out of 25 on this list. Elphan lied was extremely good for its short season. I am entering the navy seals and I cryed. (A manly kind of course). The manga is so much better, the music is extremely intising and the drawings are masterpieces.

Whoever had seen this anime and found this worthy to cry on is very, I must say, emotional. I've seen hundreds of anime, and this won't even close to my top one hundred. I watch all the episodes, try as hard to understand as to why people love this, but I just can't find anything. The show, the characters, the plot. the everything is flat. If you've been watching loads of anime your whole life you'll see what I'm trying to say. Seen loads of anime like this, and I could only consider this anime as mediocre - very average. Nothing special at all. I know most of you would disagree, but this is my opinion. I'm not against nudity or anything like that. There's a touching scenes/part, yes but those things are present on anime with the same genre. I believe most of those who made a comment are youngsters/teenagers, others might be new to this anime world, but believe me this is far from being a classing or masterpiece as you people love to say. It's worth to watch when your bored but when given a chance, I would not recommend nor rewatch this series. It's beyond my taste. Story with predictable plot, characters, almost harem like touch, and trying hard hero pisses me off. They're just NO. If you want masterpiece, go watch Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle. Or if you enjoy a touch of romance with action, adventure and fantasy, then see Shakugan No Shana.

When I first saw this anime the opening song lured me in from the start. As I progressed through the show it filled with more and more meaning and I never skipped it. Now when I hear the song I have to fight back tears.

genius....

Even though this anime is only 14 episodes long (including episode 10.5), I really enjoyed this anime. It's too bad this couldn't have gone on for another 14 episodes because I'm sure there's a lot left out, but still, worth the watch. There is a lot of nudity, but it's not done in a sexual manner. There is some playfulness among some of the female characters, but I never got the feeling any of the nudity was of a sexual nature. Some of those scenes are quite funny really. Overall, Elfen Lied could have been a lot better if it wasn't so short, but I really enjoyed it and would recommend it. There is definitely a lot of blood and gore at times, but it doesn't define the anime nor do the sexual scenes. Watch for yourself.

anime is ok, but the manga is way better.... trust me its worth the time. the story goes beyond the anime storyline with more drama/ tragedy elements and you get a real ending

This is the best anime I've ever seen. It should be #1!

A great anime, despite the HUGE amount of gore and brutality it is also heart breaking. I think it's the only anime in history to have so much violence coupled with so much tenderness.

Should be in the top 5. Nothing short of a breathtaking masterpiece and the saddest story ever told. I'm not even exaggerating. The nudity and violence is fantastic at emphasizing the main theme of how atrocities such as those committed by Lucy are strongly influenced by the way in which people are treated by their fellow beings. Elfen Lied is so much more than a stupid eechi gore fest, it is a heart-breaking social commentary about discrimination and cruelty, man's inhumanity to man and the tormented mind's intense desire for revenge. Judging a story by its content or presentation is just nitpicking and childish. The "Schindler's List", "To Kill a Mockingbird" or "The Elephant Man" of anime.

by far the best anime iv ever seen and iv seen alot of them.

this had potential but they pretty much raped the show (in a bad way) one I felt like they focused on blood and tities more than the actual story also it was just to freaken cliche with the whole rape, bullying, homicidal maniac, necrophila trash all in all it wasn't to bad but it was definitely not sad at all at least for me

You won't be able to watch this great anime without crying your eyes out.

Oh my god, one of teh goriest animes I have ever watched. Apart from a LOT of blood and nudity, the storyline made me cry. Elfen Lied is a definite must to watch.

Elfen Lied is the best Anime i have ever watched. I finished watching it 2 months ago and i am still thinking about it! I had to send an email to the producer asking them to continue on with the series its that good! Its a must watch!

just finished watching this series, totally disappointing to find out thats the only season cause it is my new favorite. Cant get the music box tone out of my head it fits so great with the story

A mature type of anime with hardcore elements were death of main characters is expected. This anime will make you hold your breath while waiting what's going to happen next. Despite the fact that anime is rated for mature, the characters are drawn like little kids even though they represent adults...so that's kind of lame. But overall, it is a great anime for those who enjoy hardcore and extreme experience.

Wow! I was expecting this one to be near the top, it certainly belongs there! It's been a few months since I watched it and I still can't get the song Lilium out of my head from it. Deffinately watch this one!

There was no real nudity and only someone sitting on a massive pole would complain about it. It doesn't detract from the anime at all. It's an amazing anime and I'm glad it's short because if it were any longer it would have started to drag.

Was THE best anime I have EVER seen! I have watched alot've anime before, seen the good and the bad and this has everything you could EVER want in an anime! (exept ,maby suspence).

I think the show must keep going cuz the story was very good and made me cry at some moments.

cannot believe this was the end and there was no second season ! i litterally cried like it was the end of an era ! amazing story, drawings amazing even the nude arty stuff was brilliant ... spawned my love for anime !

Nothing will ever get close for this one simply the most amazing thing i have ever seen.

I doubt this will be seen, but whoever wrote the comment about there being hentai in this anime, there is no hentai in this anime, it's called nudity. hentai is sexually driven. this just shows nudity.

This anime is very strange. It does not excel at any part of it. A little bit rushed, especially in the ending. Characters are quite flat, to be honest. Plot has some holes in it. Nudity is really an extra that could have been cut out quite easily. And yet, it is able to reach down straight to the heart very sharply. Very moving anime, in a truly human way. One of those things that change the way you look at the world. As I said it is not a masterpiece, but it could have been if it did not feel so rushed. Personally, I love it. It still has a special place in my heart.

I like the beggining theme song... need I say more? -Nel

A good anime, but it certainly is not the best. (My top 10 anime with less than 30 episodes)- very, very few people (1 in every 100 thousand would say this is the best) will think it is the best, or rather it is because they haven’t explored other anime yet- must have watched very few anime with a good standard. A very emotional anime, which will make you cry, It’s got violence (lots of killing and blood done by a child). Nudity- it is just showing upper part of the female body. However, there isn’t any sexual parts- well only one part, childishly touching breasts within a jumper and 2 kisses- nothing more. If you are looking for a thriller anime (Death note, Code Geass, One piece, Naruto, Bleach etc) then this anime is definitely not that- as it was partially predictable. Bottom line, it is just a very emotional anime. In addition, it doesn’t contain much action packed fighting- just simply murdering in one shot, so pretty gruesome.

This anime is so heart wrenching and beautiful. So tragic, almost to the point that it is haunting. Hands down the best anime I have ever watched.

numba 1 for my ;D

so what if in some parts theres nudity, to be honest if they tried to cover up all the time then some of the animes beauty would be lost, the ending is truly beautiful and the anime is worth watching,

its a very good anime ...that song...makes me cry every time..:((

BEST mature anime i have watched, really interesting plot, great characters, lots of gore and nudity to hype your interest. Series is too short and I was some what disappointed with the ending. This should be in the top 10.

As many people are saying, there isn't porn in Elfen Lied, seeing a naked girl doesn't constitute porn in a tv show. Not once will you see vag, people are exaggerating, but the series does use it unnecessarily in some parts(Nu running out of the bath to bust in on Khota and Yuka eating dinner). Very short anime, extremely violent, and very very emotional. The main characters; Khota and Yuka are very shallow characters with very little depth, despite this there are some really interesting characters and some tear jerking moments and the entire series deals with some really dark controversial themes. The plot is a little ridiculous and unrealistic at times(government can't even find one girl who isn't intentionally hiding in the very city they are based in...wtf?) but its very worth it. I liked it so much that after watching 3 episodes on the netflix disc I got...I decided I couldn't wait, so I ordered the complete box set off amazon and got rush shipping and watched the entire thing in one sitting. (I'm a man who enjoys his violence :P)

I cried in episode 5, poor Mayu. And you sickos actually think of a child abuse as porn? WTH, take a cold shower dammit. anime, terrifyingly fantastic, or fantasticly terrifying

Elfen lied is probably my favorite anime of all time. Beautiful music "not just lilium the hole sound track" the only reason why people hate it is because they watch the first 10 miniutes and stop....so they think its just nudity and gore. IT'S NOT. there's so much emotion, i cried and im a 16 year old guy. however the nudity is excessive and some parts it could have done without.

Insanely good plot and characters, pity the dubbing was ****!

great anime. in fact it is so disturbing that it stays in ur mind there for few days. the music is hauntingly beautiful.

It isn't something I'll be watching again. The first episode was great and full of promise but the twists wer not hard hitting. The only character I really cared for was the puppy. And the plot seemed a bit repetitive throughout to be honest. I feel very much the same about death note, so I guess if you do love death note you will love this. Bit if you didn't then don't waste your time.

It's just freaking sad, too sad, this reminds us humans how filthy beings we are, like many other animes

There is no "porn" in Elfen Lied. Very unique anime for MA only, nothing like it.

This is a work of art, the story is sad and makes you want to see more. the ending makes you cry inside. it's just so fking sad, Need to mention the gore and the bloody mess, aswell as the softcore porn in the anime, the characters are great. the main character is especially great. you get the feeling of living and loving with them +++ on this Anime

I won't deny that this anime is amazing. But you have to be kidding me that they didn't use the nudity to draw viewers... Seriously, lets zoom up on the prepubescent vagina to "flesh" out the story.

It may have some nudity, but it wasn't used for sexual content; it was used to flesh out the story.

A nice plot, the characters are very touching and you can’t stop watching. The drawings are the only thing that I dislike In this anime.

Elfen Lied is quite a good anime. Despite it's use of hentai, its actually extremely sad. Couldn't stop watching to the very end and even then, i couldn't believe that was it

the best anime i ever seen

awesome, best show ever ,I wish there were more episodes; naru is hot

I can understand why it's in here it's a good show but a short one

SO FREAKING GOOD! man i could watch it all the time, even if i end up having nightmare s;)

If you love ghost hunting with a little twist. Some parts are funny some ep's are scary. The characters are great and have good personalities. I loved it so much that i ended up watching the series from the beginning over and over again.

i love it, it's so creepy.

Really awesome anime! Found this and started watching it out of curiosity. It's kinda like Clannad without the magical orbs that can reverse time or something like that. Even though no one dies in this anime, or do they? It feels like it when the other girls that love the main character don't get to be with the protagonist.

this anime shows a good plot casting the lives of two persons love complicated and winded,it is a watchable anime just like myself;yourself

i watched when i was little, i watch it now when im a teenager, and i'll watch it when i grow up. this anime is incredible On the roof looking up at the sky, the sunlight is beautiful Looking up to the sky, my whole body fills with energy. That's so wonderful! Just being alive! Let's never stop or give up Say goodbye to the confusion of yesterday These feelings are bubbling up and boiling over No matter how many times they come back, these flowers will bloom Memories are always a sweet place to retreat But if you break from them, you can live for tomorrow A blessed time has arrived, so reach out your hands This lovely and gentle skin, these hands have not yet reached If I close my eyes this image expands, a fascinating seed That's so wonderful! Just being alive! Let's never stop, I want to see how it was before Hectic days continue, anywhere Going back and forth between heaven and hell No matter how many times they come back, these flowers will bloom Run, run until you hold love in your hands And then if you're worried, make a wish A blessed time has arrived, so reach out your hands Say goodbye to the confusion of yesterday These feelings are bubbling up and boiling over No matter how many times they come back, these flowers will bloom Memories are always a sweet place to retreat But if you break from them, you can live for tomorrow A blessed time has arrived, so reach out your hands Reach out your hands, lift up both hands

One of the first anime's I ever watched.... and it's still one of the best ones I've seen! Love Hina: Romantic, Funny, Dramatic, Amazing!!!

I wish it had lasted a bit longer, finished watching it all in 3 days. :( Geat anime though :D

One of the best anime EVER. It story is awesome and funny. In my list of anime it is #1 with Umineko kaku koro ni, Dragon Ball Z, and Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. The people who rated Fairy Tail #50 are morons.

This should be on the top ten! LOVE THIS!

LOVE THIS SERIES! you just cant wait for the next episode.

Great anime ...I love it BEST OF ALL

how could u get the name of an great anime wrong?!?!?!?

its fairy tail .. and for me fairy tail is the best anime!

The best animes ever are indeed these Fairy tail Code geass full metal achemist brother hood death note full metal alchemist beelzebub All these Animes is unable to compare to others becouse their so uniq and funny, yet interesting. And I find those who compares any of these to stuff like naruto and bleach stupid(But both of those are still really good) but I hate those whom compare them to stuff like one peace. I mean really I was about to die of one peace after 7 mins of boredome and yet becouse of all the recomandations I gave it 10 episodes. I don't want to force it on to others but I'm just saying. And if any of you got any good anime list or the like I also got one of those I sceen which is recomandable. Than if you got one lets trade, you can contact me on Spididarkkiller@gmail.com

This is my fav anime, its the most adorable, funniest, fantastic, saddest, weirdest anime ever! theres always something going on in fairy tail. ever 10-20 episode there is a new enemy, even if the last one was like Gonna-destroy- earth-if-you-don't-kill-me type! you never get bored! and its about the most wonderful friendship in the universe! and when i say its the saddest anime ever, then i mean SADDEST anime ever! even though theres more comedy, when the time comes for sad moment, you just can't keep the tears away... if i ever should suggest someone an awesome anime, this would be the one. :) P.S you spelled Fairy TAIL wrong. its supposed to be TAIL. ;) just sayin xD

One of the best "new animes" that are out right now. most of the new stuff that gets created is really lame. But not this anime. This anime has a nice and light story-line. Villains are quite bad, but not bad enough to kill... Anime has some very good jokes which made me ROFL. Characters are well developed and each of them has something unique in them.

This is amazing reminds me of one peice and it is awesome storyline. SHould be top 10.

In Naruto, NARUTO = YELLOW HAIR, SAKURA = PINK HAIR In Fairy TAIL NATSU = PINK HAIR, LUCY = YELLOW HAIR lol :DDDD

fairy tale's the newest anime i've watched and honestly it's pretty damn good. my tastes in anime include naruto, one piece, samurai champloo, cowboy bebop, and so if you like any of those, you'll most likely like this also. very comedial, good story line, not too much fillers at all, and it keeps you interested.

guys before you make negative comments make sure that you also read the manga. the anime is a bit late. but the story line gets really interesting. it's almost to the point where all questions are answered. Surely by now you have realized that the first 40 episodes of all ongoing animes are a bit boring. (e.g hitman reborn). these are just a way for authors to introduce the characters. BUT once you get to the serious part,, ALL hell breaks loose. Trust me, you will be glued to your seats.

It has a great story

Actually I LIKE how it's not a very mature anime! It's what makes it fun. :D (At least it's not like bobobobobobobo xD)

THIS anime is good but not better than One Piece. its a little childish but overall its worth a watch

must be on the top 5... i like the character of happy. comic nga pusa.. AYE Sir!

Bleh I am to lazy to write a proper review, but this is a great show. I only wished the writer/artist of the original manga targeted it for a slightly more mature audience.

Not better than the ongoing/ really long anime posted above- which I mean to say are: Naruto, one piece, bleach and dragon ball z. Good anime, no doubt, and would consder it my 5th best long ongoing anime. But unnecasry fan service- like showing breats and nakid scenes for no reason, when its meant to be a childrens show. For all you dirty minded people, its censored but still unnecsary clevage, I wouldn't want my kids watching huge breats and clevage at the age of 5 ¬_¬. If any older teenagers want to watch something, they will just go on the internet and find uncensored things ;)

..one of the best animes I've ever watched. i think its even better then Naruto.

the BEST!

i think fairy tail is good. it doesn't need to be all like bleach and stuff. if u don't like it then don't say anything.

kinda like one piece mixed w/naruto.

It's Fairy TAIL indeed, but anyways, imo it was ranked too low. it's #5 now, keep it here [h]. One of the most promising animes atm, it's getting more and more popular. They should just make it a little less childish and it could be compared to 'The big 3'

To childish

It's Fairy Tail

the manga is effing awesome, havent watched the anime yet waiting for more episodes to come out dubbed.

one of the best animes it's sure to gain popularity later on as it's new nice story i cant wait for the second season

Not one of my favorite animes but it's entertaining and gets better in the later episodes. It seems like there is no real big goal in it, but many small plots. It's nice to see a long fantasy anime.

One of the best up and coming animes. Its tied as far as storyline and such goes with Nurarihyon no Mago, Highschool of the dead, and Gundam Unicorn (say what you want the 2 eps they have out kick ass)

Best New and Blooming Anime

It is quite good actually. The author really knows how to give life to mainstream. Even though the story is simple, the characters are cool and the action is awesome.

Beautiful animation my ass. This is ugly. It's funny, but don't call it beautiful. Happy the cat could be drawn by a down syndrome baby.

It's entertaining and as a beautiful animation. If you want a nice plot it's not the anime to watch but if you want to relax, it's for you!

I love the twist of 11th episode

Very underated in my opinion. totally love this anime, although it might seem very chaotic

Ergo Proxy is without a doubt one of the best animes that ive ever seen. please, dear reader, watch this anime. it will definitely blow your mind

Very good story and characters. Great show overall.

You've got number 1 right, but you're missing Yu Yu Hakasho and Inuyasha in the top 10.

I like the two lives of the main character lelouch and zero.I believe the behaviours of these teo characters and the master brain of zero improves the quality of code geass.

i also like Zero No Tsukaima...

if you ask me few of the anime's that i like are naruto .code geass, gintama, gundam, hitman reborn, red data girl, date a live, Ore No Kanojo To Osananajimi Ga Shuraba Sugiru

it is THE best anime ever made. i have seen it twice. and cried twice. (both times in the end.) it's sooo sad when he dies. THIS ANIME IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE #1 ON MY LIST.naruto shippuden and fairy tail are #2 together. #3 is bleach.

Code Geass was good... but not "#1 on the charts" good. Come on, people! Steins;Gate FTW!

one of the best anime's i have ever seen, 1. Dragonball/Dragonball Z, 2. Fairy Tail, 3. Code Geass: Lelouch Of The Rebellion

It has a perfect mix between action, mystery, and romance. GREAT ANIME!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, I can't choose between Code Geass and Death Note. I love both of them. They would both have to share #1 for me.

I really cant believe that Death Note is in the first position. I really love Death Note and it was the best anime I had ever watched until Code Geass. Code Geass is the best thing i have ever seen counting with movies and series!

NEXT SEASON COMING IN JULY! THIS COMMENT WAS POSTED FRIDAY, JUNE 22 2012

It truly is the best anime

c.c.=one of the best anime girl character's of all time.

Don't Forget Guilty Crown :) Same Creators As Death Note And Code Geass.

I watched all 50 episodes in one day, and the only anime that comes close is death note, but that's still no where as good. I am a man that never cries and this anime made me cry it's simply amazing.

I second u mate... its really the best one ever :)

I cannot believe that there ever will be an anime as good as code geass and I watched everything including death note, FMA, DBZ, naruto, one piece but code geass is in its own league of a super anime. It undoubtedly is the Greatest show ever.

I totally agree, really well done anime, extremely hard to find anything alike!

Honestly, I think Code Geass is better than Death Note. Probably because Lelouch is the smex. But seriously, it's #1 on my list, and I've seen 70+ animes.

yes i put the best anime where it belong top of the list

It's the best anime i've ever seen in my life.

A must watch.

BEST. ANIME. EVER.

Lelouch is a brave man

OMD this is really and truly the best anime i have watched so fa r!!!!. i would encourage anyone one of any age, any gender to watch it. the story line is EPIC and the ending was just FANTASTIC!!!!! I cant put into words just how great it is , especially the ending !!!!

Wow. Just wow.. Just finished watching the second season (watched the last 15 episodes without a single break, the story didn't let go of me even for a second) and totally speechless. It is a brilliant and perfect ending to an intelligent, ever-turning and surprising storyline which throws up so many questions of morale and ethics (which can easily projected on our own world's problems) that it inevitably gets you pulled into the story and the character's very different approaches to world peace, or whatever. Just stop reading this now and start watching. :D Hope they don't mess it up with the third season, though.. The story was set up within the frame of Suzaku and Lelouch's fates, after all - there's no sense in continuing after that.

lelouch didnt die??????? what anyway its the best anime ever,i used to watch naruto but after seeing this and death note i almost stopped watching naruto,its in their own league.......

i am not against if CODE GEASS is no.1 i really love this as well ...BUT.... WHAT IS ONE PIECE DOING DOWN THERE ?????!!!!!!!! REALLY.. REALLY... IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF I DID NOT SAW IT HERE BUT THIS IS PRETTY INSULTING.....ONE PIECE SHOULD BE 1 2 OR 3 !!!!!!

It depends ,some people do like it and some don't , especially kids ,teenagers like naruto ,bleach stuff . when it comes to story wise plot this is the one of the best anime i would rather say and many people like even graduate students like these animes like this one , deathnote , FML etc . , don't even compare this with naruto ,bleach which is targetted to most kids and teenagers :P

Best anime I've seen. It's as epic as Gurren Lagann yet has more plot and intellect than Death Note. Great story, and I hated finishing it because it was so great. Perfect ending.

I think it's a great anime but it's not as good as death note , the story is good and the ending is PERFECT it's defiantly in my top 10 list

Full Metal Alchemist should be #1

both 2 past seasons are awesome!! its my top choice among other anime's. go deeper to the story and you will eventually know why it was the best anime to watch.

for the people, who says that this show is boring... you watch this show first, analyze it and the characters and you will see how great and magnificent is its essence... THE BEST ANIME EVER!!!! BEST ANIME OF 2006 AND THE 21ST CENTURY!! A LEGENDARY ANIME FOR ME!!! THANK YOU SUNRISE AND CLAMP FOR MAKING THIS AMAZING SHOW!!! hands down!! :))

i cannot find exact words to say how amazing and how beautiful this show is because asides from the people that say here, there is something unique about this show and that is.. it reflects the society that we have today... each parts are symbolism of the society that we are facing right now, how dark, rotten, useless, and worthless it is. I did not watch season two but season one only will give us a view of the harsh reality in life. The characters also here are amazing because they reflect the kind of people that we have in this society Lelouch, Kallen, Euphemia, Nunnally and others are all representation of the people that we have in our society. Truly, this show is a show that i can consider as classic and a true anime.. i wish there is someone who can change this world like lelouch :((

Best anime ever.

The 2nd coming of deathnote with very noticeable Voice actors. You will love this anime if you love Gundam and Deathnote. Intense all the way to the end.

for all tjhose ppl that say the characters arnt intelectual enugh or it doesnt have a plot, ur just being rebbels and apperantly havnt seen this awsome anime. not my #1 but its in my top 3.

geat anime you should watch it ... but dont compare it with death note

awesome.... all hail lelouch

code geass is the greatest anime ever created, its the bomb, lelouch and his black knights are just the spice of the show

I watch it and I liked it!!!!!but bleach is better......:)

one of the best animes (to me is the best) because the more you use your head to predict what will happen the less you get .

this anime is very good, i like the ending of it, lelouch died

It was a very "Can't wait to see what happens next" type of anime, and I did enjoy it, but the plot holes and the way that everything was unbelievably planned out in advance, using that as an excuse for every little mistake, sorta wrecked it a little for me. Intelligent, although a bit predictable, this one goes on my top ten list, maybe not as high up though!

Where is Earth Maiden Arjuna, thats a great anime too, its not even on this list.

It 's so good!!! Seriously this show has two of my favorite anime characters ever : C.C and Suzaku..... Also Lloyd is unbelievable!!!!!!

@ Dreads Thats a matter of opinion, but the fact that you like it (being in your top 10) is sufficient. Personally, I like teeange schools and mecha robots fighting and psychological animes, which test your mind- I doubt you were able to guess the impacts of these politicals moves, I'm sure you were on the same level as tamaki (the stupid guy from code geass). That's how the anime wants you to portray it as- since we have less time to comprehend the situation, in comparison to them.

Im amazed about this anime... In the first place the plot is good, but it's not extremely the best... If you watch Death Note you have an amazing plot... The end spoils it though... I searched for animes like death note, and this one was the closest to it... It's really an okay anime... But to you who says that you need brain for watching it... You need to watch Death Note, because there is so much more brain into that... Im surprised that Death Note is not number 1, but it's okay... On my list, i would probably put code Geass at numer 6 or 7... I can fairly recommend other animes that are a lot better..

Greatest 50 episodes of my LIFE and that's saying something xD Greatest short anime EVER (below 150 episodes) DBZ being the greatest long anime. Death note = 2nd. Because, Season 2 had a predictable and weak plot. Code Geass had a consistly EPIC plot throughout.

Its a really solid anime...Wouldnt be mor my number 1 (far from it) but its very good overall, i dont like mechas and i enjoyed this 1. Very nice plot!

Very strong anime, for sure top 3 with Death Note and Elfen Lied.

Best anime ever watched!!! Just beats death note- as death note season 2 failed. Contradictory to this, Code Geass did better on season 2. My best short anime, death note second, FMA third. (Below 100 episodes) Best long animes: Dragon ball z, one piece, naruo, bleach, fairy tail, katekyo hitman reborn. Well if you have a similar interest to me, then this is the anime for you!

there are a lot of things that are not explained well. but man, this anime blew me away. it kept me thinking for nights on how amazing and epic it is. still crazy about it. all ingredients of the best anime is in here: action, fun momments, most disastrous turn of events, drama that will make your breathing disturb, and of course the epic ending. no doubt about it, lelouch vi britannia 99th emperor of the britannia is #1 praise to the brilliant writers who made this anime possible

It's a good anime but it's ranked to high. It could have been a killer anime with a more realistic inteligence of the main character.

simply one of the best anime series out there! Worth watching, with character insight and major plot twists. Just watch the first episode, and see how it draws you in. Warning: highly addictive.

Dumb magic theme, dumb relationships, plot sometimes senseless, but good politics, good morale value, nice battles, and one of the best ending ever in any story ever made. The ending is so good, that people debate over whether the main character is dead or alive. He's dead to me, tho.

most epic ending ever!!! love this anime and is definenately worth watching!!

Wouldn't say it's the best ever, pretty good actually, though a bit predictable, and could use more action and less melodrama, 4 out of 5 stars

This is my all time favorite anime!! I still have yet to find one that comes even close to being as good.

i love this so much i watched whole series English sub and endglish dub too..

seriously one couldn't find a best moralize story like this, simply awesome , I don't remember when I stop watching it.

Not just the greatest ankle ever but the greatest show of all time. It was so good that I watched all 51 episode in only 3 days

I just love Code GEass..Best anime ending ever

CODE GEASS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! im soooooo happy its # 1! >.< man, it made my day,lol! and LULU IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!!!!!!!!!! xP

I did not ever get into this series I watch most of season 1 and just felt like most the episodes where filler along with a lot of the characters. I myself would place full metal alchemist in the top and i'm surprised rurouni kenshin didn't make it higher in the list...and what is bleach doing way down there..ya a lot is filler as well but still a great anime and even better manga

ITS AWESOME I THINK IT SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE

i can't belive it......where is ninja scroll?...WHERE IS AKIRA?!

i just love this anime so much

Aaaamazinggggg!!!!!!! a real piece of art!!!!

one piece dub it fast coz i can't understand japanese man.........:d

This is number 1??! Blech. Prince of Tennis is way better.

Three simple words, Best Anime Ever.

Super, simply the best anime, i dont know how did the person above found it boring, I've seen lots of anime and trust me it simply will blow you

I dont wanna hate on any animes. i mean everybody has a different oppinion right? everyone has ifferent taste. but for God's Sake no matter.. what your taste is you MUUUUST see this show! more than highly recommended! Not even recommended, Required! lol. Aside from that..I did say everyone has different opinions. But to that guy that said Deaht Note is better- your opinion is wrong. lol. XD if any of you have an Xbox, add me. My gamertag is YinShadow755, id love to talk about someone about code geass. THE BEST ANIME OF ALL TIME (:

in response to the earlier comment, both bleach and code geass are in my top ten. Both are brilliant, just because they are different doesn't mean i can't like both. ^ yes Lelouch didn't die. surprised naruto, bleach, dragonball z, aren't on this list

lelouch didnt die

lol, Lelouch even died in an epic way, there isn't anything that isn't epic about this series

YES ITS THE BEST BECAUSE OF SUZAKU KURURUGI

I totall agree withe everything what the guest 2 steps above said about Code Geass. A truly must see. I have no hard feelings for this anime being no1 as its one of my top 3 favs. My other two aren't even in the list. They are Angel Beats and The Legend Of The Legendary Heroes.

i think Dragonball Z show be number 1

To the guest above me, just because Bleach and Inuyasha are both demon/swordoplay animes, please NEVER refer to them in the same context. Inuyasha was pathetic, with zero character/plot development, and half-baked fight sequences. Bleach is quite the opposite. Just cause it's popular, doesn't mean it's not good... As for Code Geass, a beautiful anime with great depth in practical philosophical situations. One of those great animes that actual gets you to reevaluate yourself throughout the series. a must see

From the look of it, people either love this anime, or they hate it. Generally, though, people only seem to hate it when garbage like "bleach" or "Inuyasha" makes their top ten. I wouldn't say it's the best anime, but it deserves to be high in the ranks. It's actually my third favorite, next to FLCL (which isn't even on this list,) and Cowboy Bebop.

Totally marvelous and the main reason it is first is because of its ending, which totally kills you.

If this is number one you have to be kidding me.

this anime is the best!!!! and it has the best ending ever..i recomended.

absolutely A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! this is the anime that got me into watching all sorts of animes instead of just yu-gi-oh! *cough* ;) this is the best anime ever and i recomend it to everyone! i assure you, if you have half a brain, you'll love it!!! =D and, just BTW, it does have developement, there aren't any plot holes or boring moments, and if whoever said that had half a brain, they wouldn't have said it...:) anyways, i recomend this aniime.

BEST AMIME EVER U PEOPLE SHOULD WATCH IT IT SO AWSOM

The first season (R1) is really good; I disagree with the previous comment. Although it's far from the level of Deathnote in terms of reflex ion and suspense. The season two is more like a mecha anime. Still it’s an anime that I recommend and if you like Deathnote you’ll probably lke this serie.

Full of plot holes and boring moments. Nothing smart about the characters and there's absolutely no developement

Death note, but with more vulnerable, believable and "identifiable to" characters.

It's no Akira

It is the best anime ever created by mankind. I will not get to see anything better than this.

Death Note is a HUGE part of many peoples' anime experience. Anyone who hasn't watched this show is missing out on a lot!

East or West DEATH NOTE is the best.Both Light Yagami & L Lawliet are marvelous.

L was out smarted by Light. This was a great dual between a veteran mastermind and a young mastermind. This is better than Codegease.

I liked this show a lot both L and Light were both likable characters but Misa was a little annoying. This could be one of my favorites.

light should have killed near somehow. He should have used Misa somehow in the end, I just felt like she was a wasted resource.

One of the most psychologically thrilling shows I have watched in my entire life. The beauty of this anime is that there is not even one drop of violence, however, the anime takes you on a journey deep into the recesses of the human psyche and allows a "chess-like" battle of the minds to ensue from the very first episode to the last. It is breathtaking in the least bit that such an original and thought provoking show could even exist, let alone it being an anime. This is not for someone who wants visually stunning images, but more of an anime that forces the watcher to engage in a mental war between two brilliant and competent minds, and once your on the ride is unpredictable and ground breaking.

i love this show so much it's one of the best tv shows out it's very entertaaing in pschological way each episode gets better and better plus mila is hot i don't like the real live action movie i think the charcters r terrible bu the anime rules

i've watched it for like .. 2 times already .. it's the best anime .. ever !

This anime is one of the best I've ever seen. Definitely a psychological thriller letting you into the mind of someone who is driven to being a sociopath in the quest for God-like power over the world by killing people with, of all things, a notebook. So many twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The ending was slightly disappointing and I imagine if something like this happened in the real world, things would have surely turned out differently at the end. The genius of several characters in this anime is, at times, hard to believe, but this is one anime you don't want to miss out on. No blood (well, not really..), no gore, no ninjas, no fighting. This is purely a mind twister that will keep you wondering what will happen next. A must watch!

the first anime i ever watched..simply awesome

death note is great,different from the other usual animes. Here the main character is not the usual protagonist who goes on saving his friends lives. But a person with Utopian mind who will do any dirty tricks to fulfill his gream. But i should say i like L better.

If anything's overrated it's Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Death Note deserves it's place.

This just might be the best anime of all times. I can't put into words the excitement i got right of the bat. 1st episode got me hooked . I have watched it 7-9 times i can say i haven't grow bored of it yet.

Death Note is great, for some very few and simple reasons. 1) originality, it revolves around a note. 2) due to the rules the game changes a lot 3) no character is safe 4) characters aren't flimsy 5) makes a nice twirling descent of the main protagonist. To be fair i haven't seen all anime listed here but Deathnote i think appeals to more people even people such as myself, which aren't that big fans of anime.

This show by far is one of the greatest shows of all time. Love, Hate, Justice, Thrills, Chills, Plot Twists, action, this show has it all. The way that you never know how the show will end until the very end is what made this show great. Any naysayers just couldn't grasp the depth of the show.

While this anime was good, it is not deserving of #2 or #1. Many animes beat it including Code Geass, which surpasses Death note by far.

Overrated. There are many better anime (FMAB, Durarara, Berserk, etc.) and Deathnote goes way downhill way too early. Also the characters are mediocre and it is not very deep or intelligent. A very entertaining show, but it should be no higher than 30.

i'm sorry this is a really good show but how does this get #1

Best story, best ideas and awesome characters L is the smartest eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this anime XD

da BEST!!!! i was on my toes the WHOLE time

best anime EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This anime is so AMAZING!! It's so amazing I can't even bear it!!! It's so cool...

My favourite animes 1. Death note~ truly amazing anime! the mental battles L and light have alone are just outstanding! 2. Gintama~ very funny. u should try watching this after. a very different anime. you should try watching both of them. so dont thumb down until you have actually tried watching both of these.

Was very good throughout the anime until like the last 5 episodes. Went totally downhill from there.

death note is a really good anime with a lot of mind games. And it's starts being epic from episode

IT;S CLASSIC I CERTAINLY AGREE EVERY ASPECT OF DEATH NOTE IS AWESOME!

Death Note is class above compared with Monster. I watched both series. Monster starts good and plot is more realistic. But it had too many subplots, the hole anime is long and ending was epic fail. Main character is much more likeable in Death Note and plot is more intense and dramatic.

im not a fn of anime but after watching death note.. hell yeah.. niw iam an anime fan.. death note is ranked in my top 10 list... itz superb..

death note the best anime i ever watch! good stuff and not all like other anime. all about power and how they become stronger! n stronger all anime is like that! but this it will twist your mind L

Maybe the best anime i've ever see. It was really superb.

best anime with the least dragging out and fing round hard and fast straight to the point

watched half of this anime and got bored... but after reading all the comments i think im regretting it

the best!!! no one can beat death note..

it was more than awesome . Just luved it . Tough the ending was not good. Anyway luved it

its just better than the best

Death Note deserves the No. 1 slot. NOTHING compares. ALL of the characters, even the shinigamis, are memorable, and the plot is mind-blowing.

it is very interesting anime...i love the characters especially light, misa and L..

Boss.

What can you say about deathnote. ITs simply the BEST NON-FIGHTING Anime ever. Really took the thriller to a new level.

not as great as code geass, the ending was pathetic, u could see it coming a whole bunch of episodes ahead. the character never got out monuverd thats y the ending was really obviouse.

where's X/1999?! DX

Yay!! Death Note, LOVE IT

logical anime ...

BLACK lexus:- Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Horrible ending! poor light. This is one of the best animes i've ever watched.I'll never see another master piece like this. Indeed.

one of the best anime ... far better than code geass great ending :D

The best anime i ve ever seen!! Fantastic story, almost broke my computer 10 minutes ago when i show last episode.. Pls tell me that the end is not true!!!!

Death note is probably the best drama anime so far. Many people might thing the ending wasn 't good enough, but in my opinion it was the best possible and most unexpecting ending. The incredible plot will just make you want to see more and more. An addictive masterpiece written by a really creative mangaka, who has also written Bakuman.

Lol no. Monster featuring Johann Liebert is an anime that is far better than death note. Johann Liebert is one of the greateast villains in Anime history and the storyline and plot of Monster are far more sophistacated than anything death note has to offer. BTW their are better animes than monster. So putting Death note on your list as number 1.... Not really. Death note is a good Anime no doubt but it definatly shouldnt be number 1.

best but not the best if you haven't watched the live action movies of it, the movies ended in a better way

It was gorgeous!!!!

This was the first anime I ever completed watching, and to this day it's still the best (for me). Although I kinda hate the ending of it. And if I have to compare it to code geass, I'd say that code has a pretty obviouse plot while death note keeps you in suspense for the whole ride. Anyways this one should be 1st imo.

Death Note the Best anime ever! most unpredictable plot ever although 1 of the most memorable characters in anime history L was killed off too soon this still beats the rest!

Continue from previous comment:........................ Gods of death, again, show that the writer is in complete power, especially of his psychological theories, which we will never be able to comprehended fast enough, and will seem to be a true form of art. Many people, indeed are fascinated by this concept, however other smart minds (especially with scientific knowledge) will not spend their time writing a manga. Any real detective will tell you this is a load of bull, and the lack of technology is absurd (forensics anyone?) Don't get me wrong, I believe this to be my top 5 animes, but don't spout out that this is the greatest anime, basing it on 'brains' - I believe you meant to type 'wit', brains will technically be inaccurate. P.S= Don't be shy, name some of your other animes, in order for us to understand your persona better :)

@ Dreads + others..... You do understand that the writer is in complete control of his probabilities and assumptions. It's only a master plot, because the writer made it that way. There is only one great detective (ironically is set in Japan as well + also a teenager) who is the extremely smart. The bases of some law’s are fake, this is to say they are not technically right and are always in favour of the writer. Additionally, this was set in a modern time, no? Therefore, why didn't light run a face match by taking a picture of L, or even Watari (the butler)- I mean there is a newspaper written about watari and him abducting from an highly intelligent orphanage. This would have led to the orphanage being discovered, and nero and mello would have been discovered along with L, there is always be records; funny this is, the police never even mention there security database- especially since its was the whole world had a conference. Light can easily access his father computer database, who is the leading police man if Japan, therefore this information would be easy to obtain- any real detective would tell you this and light already helped in a case, he should be well aware of this.

Death Note... An epic encounter with Light Yagami and L... It's the best anime out there and should be on first place... I have watched so many animes, and non of them have a plot like Death Note... The plot just goes through you psychologically, and drives you to watch the whole thing... It's a battle between brains, the best brain wins... The only anime of it's kind, i searched for animes like this one... But there just ain't one to be found... Thumbs up for this one..

If you are new to anime, then I recommend you start with this one. This was the first anime I have watched and it still is the best for me. The storyline, characters, and narration are both intriguing and fascinating. Also, I think the ending was sad but necessary. If I was the writer I wouldn't have any other way.

3 words to describe it: SIMPLY THE BEST !

this is without doubt the best anime ever!!! far better than code geass!!

Well, if this was a BEST SHOW EVER LIST, I'd probably not let it stay here... Because it's not like you guys included Avatar The Last Airbender here... Oh wait ... You did... Well, i actually liked the ending, because Raito got what he deserved, even if he only did this to change the world...

it has a nice start. cool storyline. but it bored me. especially after L died. no action that will make you surprise. i can say it has poor character growth. u will not laugh. u cannot feel any emotion. its actually a very cold anime. pure strategy that sometimes go overboard. plus the disappointing end. code geass still occupies the 1st place.

why did L have to die. still. death note is thebest anime that ive ever watched up until now

i think the anime went downhill when (SPOILER) L died, he was the best anime characters ever.. and the ending was dissapointing, but even so, its still the best anime ive ever watched, and if you like Code geass youll love this

The best of ever

I liked this anime a lot, but I think Code Geass was much better. Plus I hated the ending of Death Note.

Code Geass is the still the best!

Unbelievable story, full of suspense and action. The characters are amazing, and usually I'm not the kind to sleep late to watch anime... but this was an exception. AND also do yourself a favour and don't become a fanboy and stop watching after L dies. You will miss out.

GREAT STORY! GREAT PLOT... !!! its so irresistable to watch tll the end....

The most grandoise anime i have ever seen! I am usually more into gore but this one has completely moved me!! The devious yet noble character of Light who will do absolutely anything to see a new world without evil, then Lawliet's extraordinary deductions and skills... Nate's childish side backed by unrivalled brains and Mihael's sacrifice! Though I must say that season 1 was better than season 2, i wish Light and Lawliet could work together till the end!!!!

well i agree..it is the BEST!!!

Death note is pretty awesome. AW who am I kidding DEATH NOTE IS DA BOMB! Al tho I cried when L died. Rest in peace L Lawliet.

I fell off my chair each episode. i couldnt stop watching at all. I would stay up all night to find out what would happen next.

Wooooho Death Note is the best

Excellent plot, and the main characters actually have depth. It leaves you thinking about it long after you've seen (or read) it. Although, I agree, the ending was a bit disappointing.

It's not my top favorite- Okay, YEAH it is. Hard to explain. But yeah, best EVER plot. best EVER character development. The anime manages to stay serious at nearly all times, but each character's obsession makes up for the ONE anime expression used: Misa ate nasty apple and there were little yellow dancing arrows. Somebody once had bubbles over their head, but i don't remember who. Anyway, THIS SHALL STAY FIRST. IT PWNS.

" I couldn't live in a world without light" " Yes that would be dark" one of my favourite quotes

Hated the ending. But otherwise, it was good.

Great Story, Disgusting ending.

THIS ANIME IS BRILLIANT!!! both the plot and characters are so original and the whole story is really interesting, even though there is a sad ending :( L i love you!! ^.^

This is the second best anime, right behind Berserk bitches.

I dont know why ppl r saying its a bad ending.. the ending is quite moralistic,realistic and suited to light's role in this anime..

Needs to be at the top of the list.

I LOVE THE STORY BUT NEVER THE CHARACTERS

First anime I ever watched and still my favourite.

One hell of a great anime, but the ending was disappointing, if it wasn't it would've been the best anime without a doubt

the best anime i have ever watched i dont know why its not first,it is amazing,its perfect. the characters are brilliant especially in the light and L the first 23 episodes.

This is one for the history books. Plot wise this is the most brilliant anime out there, untill you get (Season) 2. The battle between Light and L is epic, the way they try to outsmart each other captivates the watcher and makes you want to see more, develepment in the anime is good, characters evolve steadily, making it more interesting. ending is tragic, it ruins the things they did untill it. Bigger buzzkill than buzzkillington. Still one of the best out there. ++ for seriousness

It is better than code geass.

one of he best animes i've ever seen, it's almost as good as code geass...;) haha i recomend! :)

Although I love Code Geass I think this should be first!

This is the best anime.It ahs a great plot that keeps you watching.

Great plot, great animation, great characters, watch it!

Agreed. Fantastic plot with an ending that will make you want to jump off a bridge.

great anime horrible ending

i hope that one guy that doesnt wanna live is ok?????

This Show Had Me Crying 2 Time Every Episode And Im A boy It So Sad It Make U wanna kill ur self like jumping of a bridge say im donnt wanna live anymore

Is so sad only recommend it for girls I think.

Watch it. Sure it is scary and a little bit inappropriate but it is just amazing. It has some emotion and it is hilarious I know the name sounds really brutal but screw the name it is actually a really good anime my favorite charcter is death the kid

Best anime ever good ending but left you with a lot of questions.

The end could've been better but besides that I'm proud to be a fan. One last thing Crona, Kid, Stein, and Soul FOR LIIFE!!!!!!!! (8 exclamation points for Kid)

yahooooo it should be number 1 overpassing the gods

This anime is just like naruto so if you like soul eater you should see naruto and black star is just like naruto so enjoy :D

i want season two of soul eater!!!! i want to see soul to be a death scythe and i want to see mak's mother... and oh! i want to see more of patty... she really makes me laugh....:)) the best character here for me is not mak or soul or death or black star... the best character for me is.... patty!!! haha... really makes me laugh to death :))

I LOVED THIS ANIME, IM NOT SURE WHY PPL KEEP SAYING THE END SUCKED? I THOUGHT THE END WAS VERY FITTING. I LIKED IT. BETTER THEN ENDINGS LIKE DEATH NOTE WHERE I JUST WANT TO PULL MY HAIR OUT FOR DAYS.

GO FREAKIN BLACKSTAR!!!!!!!! WOO HOO

Death it awesome as hell!!

It was AWESOME!!! no anime will ever compete to it. I like it mostly cause I'm mad myself.... Well if you see this i think you should watch it, no doubt. It's got everything, and awesome storyline, mad people!! show. TOTALLY AWESOME!! Yea but it was a suckish end

YUP! TOTALLY GOOD ANIME. but bad ending.. poor MAC :(

A kick ass anime hands down

Ug, not that great. Very nice art style and it was funny at the beginning but the end sucked, and the characters were pretty static.

Good anime TERRRIIBLE ENDING!!!

so funny. it's great; i love it.

this anime really kept the suspense up, but when it came to the end, i was very disappointed. IT was a good ending, but left you with infinite questions that will only be answered in the manga that is still ongoing. If the anime series is as long as the manga series, this would be one of my favorites!

Great anime, but the Japanese voice actress for the main female protagonist was annoyinggggggggggg.

Awesomest ever.

not often does an anime bring tears to my eyes, yet this one has such a tragic ending that if you dont cry, you may not be human. Basilisk has an ending that will also make you cry. Angel Beats all in all has one of the most interesting storylines i have seen so far. PS watch this subbed the english acting is horrific hahaha

My personal favorite. It should be ranked at least in the top 20.

My favourite anime of all time! Great story, great humour, great music.

love it should be top 10

This one has to be my top 5... Holy hell and the music is absolutly astonishing...i recommend this show over nearly all these others

I also recommend this anime too. One of the bst series I have ever watched ! It's in my top 5 too :D

Unexpectedly good. Great storyline, dramatic amd funny sometimes. Isn't in my top 10, but it still is a must watch.

amazing story and animation. I cried like a baby at the end. the humor in the show was hilarious, but not over the top. The story was sweet and sad and very deep. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

simply out of the box story, revealing the truth that bond to our life

Other anime simply can't compare. nothing else blends tragedy and comedy to such an amazing and miraculous extent that you can finish an episode drowning in tears and smiling like it was the best day of your life. I recommend it to all viewers, but it isn't something that one should watch if they're not used to the anime medium. easily in my top 5

definately one of the top anime i've seen. Surprisingly good actually

Definitely on my top 5 favorites which would go 1.Angel Beats 2.Angel Beats 3.Angel Beats 4.Angel Beats 5.Angel Beats now go watch it! more then worth your time

This anime was visually stunning at times, and each episode has so much to it you could base a movie off of each one of them. DEFINITELY worth watching if you're looking for a beautiful anime with simple yet amazing story. Also a great break from the action driven anime, though I also love them :)

The fact that this is 76 is appalling, I can't believe an anime like this is below Naruto, Bleach, and all of the other trash that gets put on TV. Stunning music, visuals, and stories makes this a must see regardless of whether you watch anime or not. This show is an amazing relief from all of the immaturepetty Japanese humor that plagues anime now-a-days.

Nice little story's that re suspenseful and awesome

I loved this series, and I will for sure watch it again! The theme of peach and harmony with nature and all living lifeforms touches your heart. It was like seeing a story from a story teller! 10/10

another under appreciated anime. Wonderful stories and stunning artwork.

Very refreshing. If you want to take a breather from the hardcore shounen animes and be enchanted by stories about mushi (small demons).

if you love this, you should check out Log Horizon. It came out before sword art online and its really good as well.

I love this anime and.I keep watching it over and over again and no u r not the only one that is exactly my story

i watched the anime in 2 days (would be 1 if i didnt have to sleep) and it was amazing and hilarious when i got to the last episode and found theres no more i was depressed for 2 days and still sad about it, i felt like the characters were haunting me and i saw their faces when i closed my eyes XD am i the only one? :P anyway i loved everything about it and it changed me quite alot..

I LOVE THIS ANIME

Loved the first half bt came to a drag after they woke up

This was my personal number one anime! I am a big anime fan and got hocked on it!

this really 1 of the best anime i've ever seen. Together with death note it's my top 2.

this anime was AMA-ZING it is by far the best ive ever seen

Cannot believe this is not top ten. Its basically a portrayal of earth in another 20 years. (Socially, tech, and conflict-wise). Only anime better is the Last Exile, Avatar(anyone who thinks this isnt anime is being ignorant) and death note. Of course those arent top ten either so...

I agree, it has the best script ever: mystery, action and some deep philosophical thoughts. To me the best anime serie ever (along with the movies and the new prequel OAV's, coming out...

this anime should be listed in the top 10 for the sake of intricate and well made plot + character development

GITS needs to be #1.

In a future where robotics has reached a height once never imagined, the line between humanity and the lackthereof becomes blurred. This anime chronicles the stories of a police agency specialized in the area of cyber crimes. There isn't very much character development because the series is most definitely more angled at posing questions involving the existential dilemma using these characters as vectors. However, for those not entirely interested in overt themes, there is intense, realistic, and (quite frankly) amazing action sequences. The plot itself is a bit of a mind bender, but it's no problem if you mull over the talky parts. I sure did (at first)

The most realistic anime i have ever seen. Its not so much kids stuff. Has some nice concepts to think about. A must see anime.

Honestly, in my full, cross my heart hope to die opinion, this should belong in the #1 spot. It is so touching and beautiful, and at times funny, at at times sad, at at yet other times intennse/trippy. Istill cry because of the last episode, and also because of the songs used in the anime. Beautiful ;,)

Eureka 7 has always been under-rated and still holds firm as one of my favourite anime series. As the series progresses, the way that all the characters mature and change is amazing. The philosophical elements that are later brought on only add to the developing wonder. Add in some pretty kick-ass tunes and nice dubbing and you've got yourself a good show.

Im thoroughly disgusted with how far down the list this is. This is quality anime.

I watched this a long time ago and decided to watch it again, after three years of no anime. I ended up watching the whole thing in less than a week. This anime has an amazing quality that never ceases to impress me.

I've watched this show twice and I absolutely love it. Without a doubt I feel as If it should be on the number one spot. But obviously its not for everyone. However if you want to watch a truly amazing show of true love, epic battles and an amazing story that just makes you want to watch the next episode this is the one for you.

Indeed one of the best, how its not in the top ten yet i dont have a clue, this is one of the anime i watched in its entirety four times. Give a watch if you want a great story, amazing characters, and great animation :]

one of the best anime ever. if you're yet to see this then stop and watch much better than Naruto and Bleach. this anime should be higher up the list

I totally forgot about this, decent graphics.

this is so complicated i don't really know if this is good or not and no spoilers.

This is hands down the top character development in anime! There is very little death or action in the entire 2 seasons but it's one of those special few animes that you enjoy watching just because it's original and a breath of fresh air (without being overly girly). Definitely in my top 10. (Exept ep 2-7 in the endless 8 eps!)

The first ep made me hooked and then after a while that ep thats repeat it self so many times ,i skipped everthing. But i love haruhi she is totally right .life is more intresting if aliens,timetravelers and aspers excist. I know my life would more fun!

to spoil mikuru is not main charactor

This should be in the top 3!! This anime really got to me, i could stop thinking about it for day after watching the whole season 1 & 2. Is season 3 coming out I really want to know what happens to the characters, i pray i does come out one day...

It's a great anime if you watch it in the right order. However, season 2 has 8 episodes which are almost identical (which I really hate). Otherwise, it's an excellent anime. It actually has an original plot, you aren't able to predict the ending by watching the first episode.
