Top 20 Anime Series

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

Code Geass is overlong and overrated. I like Lelouch but some of the characters are irritating. Halfway through the series, I grew bored. It's just not as compelling as Death Note.

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

This anime was so bad it made me crack up laughing. There are parts that are interesting, and I can see why some people would like it, but it's so shallow. None of the characters have any depth to them and it's such a mashup of conflicting anime genres that it just turns out... weird. This does not deserve to be so highly ranked.

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.

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

L and Light die :)

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

Loved this anime i only wished i stop at ep 24

hehehe i actually fell asleep during episode 2 then gave up

Its Short but awesome, every episode is worth watching, ending that you don't see in other anime series 5/5 better then code geass

I prefer Wolf's rain to Code Geass, so for me, Wolf's Rain is No. 2. If you want a good story with heart, that is told in a cohesive manner without a bunch of plot holes and annoying characters, give Wolf's Rain a chance. It lacks the flashiness of Code Geass, so It might not be for everyone. but it also has characters that you truly feel for and the soundtrack is simply breathtaking.

Okay, Wolfs Rain was great, unique, and had a decent plot that gives it to your strait. However, this anime is not for everyone. I can easily see how someone could quit watching do to being bored. It's not very action oriented but there is action points. This anime tells a story, and not finishing it is like not finishing a book half way through. Watch it, and keep an open mind. Not something to watch it you want non stop action.

its a must watch anime and it'll always be in top 10 anime......it has a jaw dropping concept and a good narration....if u cant keep up with the concept or if don't like those kind of fantasies then u wont know a hell out of it

really boring anime. It was really hard to stay awake

the end makes u sad nd a lil mad good anime series just wish it had a better ending

Depressing...that's about it., beautiful animation though.

Wolfs Rain is No 1 on my list :)

i don't understand, if your no.1 is code geass and 2nd death note how can u rank wolf's rain 3rd. really i watched the first two and loved them but wolf's rain just wasn't anything special. it bored me and i gave up at ep. 15

Way to few people have seen this excellent anime.

Only show to ever bring out emotion in me and actially make me cry:(.....greatest show ever

Oh yeah, this one's good. My all time favorite. I've rewatched it more times than I'd care to admit and each time it touches me on a deep level.

Basilisk

Very action oriented. Great 1v1 fights, where characters do actually die. lol

Basilisk?

i love this. good fighting good animation and inspiring with different charecter with powers.love it.

Amazing series about warring rival ninja clans, things flare up again after a century long ceasefire is broken but only one side knows its broken. let the killing begin. each ninja has a special skill/power.

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

I am a teenage girl and I love this anime.I cried when dark died. He was my favorite. Now I want wings. Wiz is the cutest thing in the anime world hands down.

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

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

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

Great anime. My favourite of all time! Alucard is beautiful and the plot if fantastic.

Loved this serie, and the OVA's are great. Lots of gore and raw action! Some people probably don't like bloody series, but for the ones who do like gory anime, this one is the goriest (not sure if its a word but you get what I mean :p)

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!

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-!

Tales of the Abyss is really cool!!!!!, it got mostly everything you will ever search in aa anime

Agree :D I love this anime

Tales of the Abyss ownz!! It's the best anime serie ever!!!!!!!

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 ..

I couldn't watch more than 1 episode I almost puck each time i hear the name it's not worth watching in my opinion

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 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

one of my favarites. Pity it's so short

This anime is so underrated. It's hands down on my top ten.

Seriously.. Why isn't it?

LOVED this anime ! the soundtrack to it is AMAZING , very great storyline < definetly one of my top 10 !

i LOVE this show

i don't know how i managed to finish this anime it's one of the worst I've seen it's rated 15 now it should be like 90 and if you want to add some action then make it real , not some fu... up effects

i love this anime so much !!!!! my favorite!

i'm a boy and I've watched it and loved it! GO ZERO!!!!!!!!!!

Love it. Now I watch sooooooo many vampire amines

Seriously, what's with the comments about "not recommending for a guy". That's ridiculous, Vampire Knight is by far one of the best Anime out there. I'm a guy, and I loved it. I hate Kaname, of course, but Zero is an amazing character role. Zero/Yuki All the way!

oh. n0 w0rds can defined this anime . but amazing ;))

best anime ever :)))

... This anime reminds me way too much of Twilight... Boring and melodramatic... But at least... Zero is good looking... even if he looks like he's constipated all the time. But that is only my opinion.

i disagree with those of you who think this is the best vampire anime ever. Try watching trinity blood, and the hellsing ova

I LOVE THIS ANIME!

Its really not something i would reccomend for a guy but i absolutley love zero he made my number one spot on my list of hot anime guys

hmm I LOVE ZERO thats it XD

My top 5, nuff said.

i watched the first season waiting for something good to happen... nothing, i started whatching the second season, it was just as boring, no guy in there right mind would like this, and us girls only whatch it for the cute guys, pretty crappy anime with a crappy plot...

Mostly a girl-anime. Tried to watch it, got tired of the repetitive talking/sucking blood/etc. Reminds me too much of that crappy book series, Twilight.

i want soooooooo much to see the end :D plus i want Zero to kick their asses finally :D

It is a good anime.Guys can watch it too; I did.

hated it, just another pretty boy vampire series. The antagonist had so much hype, I thought he'd be...more.

Best? So you havent seen Vampire Hunter D...

2 words..."The Best" and yeah, i wouldn't recomend this anime to guys...sorry:)

Yea; I wouldn't reccomend it to guys.

Probably the best vampire anime. It's more design for girls I think.

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!

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 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!!!

A decent comedy, it's enjoyable to watch but it's not a must-see anime

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)

I watched the english and spanish versions of Dragon ball, Z and GT, they changed my life :) I seriously view Goku as an awesome teacher and yes, I did raised my hands to help with the spirit bomb, lmao

To every one who has every watched this series not only knows that its the best but have done multiple moves from it and even raised their hands up to help with the spirit bombs

probably one of the best anime ever

Most people this anime is overrated just because it's well known. Dragon Ball is way better than those rip-ofs Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Soul Eater, Beelzebub, you name them! The list could go on!

it has many unwanted fillers........its rising the hell out of me.....i like the vegeta character coz he is the only one who fights for his pride.....

the best anime yes ... vegeta owned to bad he was not given the justice he diserved he should have been gouku's equal not what they did with him in GT

best anime...legendary anime....should b n da top 5

DB-DBZ-DB GT crazy series, was pretty long. I did enjoy it though.

Best anime ever!! DB is a whole package of all the anime combine!!

dbz best anime ever if it wasnt for this show no one would know about anime this shows is phenomenon

Dragon ball + Dragon ball z = the greatest thing ever to happen to anime. Dragon ball GT was done by some next new director, but then the real/ old director came back, and fixed his really rubbish job- thus, he killed dr mew (the big bad boss, by the new rubbish director) and created the baby saga and onwards, which was EPIC).

it is a best anime of all time.

Like Rurouni Kenshin will live forever...nothing more to add

These 2 shows should not be lumped together as they are so different from each other. I love them both but imo the original Dragonball is the better series. Characters are more dynamic and plotlines are much more compelling.

This anime shaped the Shonen genre. This, and Death Note are my favorite.

Best ever. You have to watch it all in japanese over the english version. way less kiddied up. i thought i wouldnt like the original dragonball after watching season 1, but i was amazed when i watched it through. . It has action, suspense, LOOOTTSSS of comedy, and greatest everything. You have to watch the japanese version for the full effect:)

Basicly this show all got us sucked into anime in the first place, for which we should be grateful. Dragonball sucked you in with its descriptive storytelling in the most boring situations. The later adapted z's shows were annoying and i agree with other comments sucked. But im glad i watched this show when i was 5 as well every morning before school, along with other shows that now suck compared with the new stuff.

KAMIIIIIIIIII HAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol that's all i remember from when i was little... don't watch it now though

The fact that this anime got people into anime when they were kids doesnt change the fact that it sucked...

anyone reading this will think i need im a crazy person but i cant describe how much i love this show. on a scale of 1-10 i wud giv my family a 10. i wud give dbz 9.9 This show means so much to me and i LOVE it! i feel like it my family.

best show ever

I didn't like this anime to be honest it's old and the characters aren't interesting at all i don't know why it's ranked 25 it's ranked higher that ergo proxy WTF

This was really good the ending made me mad though but over all it was good

Areal good short anime series

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.

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!

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

Is so sad only recommend it for girls I think.

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!

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

Pretentious. Had SO much possibility, but fumbled it trying to be this extensional mind blowing philosophical garbage. I am a grad student and fully understand all the concepts- trust me, this tries to be more than it is. Will say that the first half is pretty good though. But again, they fumbled the ball about half way through.

The people who don't like Noein are either purely too ignorant or lazy to comprehend the animes complex nature, its a shame

Why is this crap here?

My fav one, should try atleast.

I loved this anime when I was a kid and even as a teenager! I would totally recommand this serie!

Cardcaptors was cooler when you were a kid.

Not the whole list, when I came here before, Monster and Cardcaptors were not even added animes (1 month ago). So from 0 points to 62 in like 4 days, means the person who added it, kept on increasing its rank (proxies, different internet IP's). But, the rest of the list remainted the same- besides DBZ being bumped up drastically (60 to 200+). But its a globally well known anime, so wouldn't say it doesnt deserve no.4. Do check out the rest of the animes (top 40), they are all good (besides cardcaptors), heck I even checked out Monster- it contains plot holes but I think the anime wants you to fill it in- award winning anime, as it is quite an interesting psychological thriller, kept me constantly engaged.

so basically this whole list is a lie if 1 person is moving up his/her pathetic favorite anime:(

LOL, should have listened to the comment above mine, horrible anime! Definitely not even worth a go. Apparently the same guy keeps moving this anime up, how childish. This is mean't to be the PEOEPLE'S rating, not just a SINGLE individuals- you idiot.

Rubbish anime, the person who posted this anime- keeps boosting it back up. Horrible anime, about a girl who finds magical cards and shes 10 YEARS OLD. DON'T WATCH, THIS SHOULD BE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST.

My top 100 anime. Not top 10 lol. Would rank at about 91st. Wouldn't reccomend watching this anime, compared to the other top 50 animes on this website. Overall, NOT AN ANIME WORTH YOUR TIME. DON'T WATCH!

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.

NOT an anime worth watching. This anime was considered good back in the days (1990's) but now, it's utter nonsense. 3 14 Year old piloting to save the world, really? Pretty useless miliatary, considering the kids ( boy and 2 girls) nearly failed, all them time. It doesn't emotionally involve you, and its almost emo-ish; as it is a very depressing anime- and not in the way that influences you, it just makes you angry at the anime. There no complextion at all, the last 2 episodes are just stupid, nothing sophisticated about it. Listening to it carefull, its a load of nonsense, the protagonist just repeats himself, frankly I think the writer was deranged. This might have fooled a few people back in them days (not being educated as much as we are), but not anymore. Nothing special, watsoever. Deffinite anime NEVER to watch again. I DO NOT reccomend this anime to anybody. DON'T WATCH! Waste of time (watched all 25 episodes)- I always give a anime a full try, thus watched every single episode. Should be placed definitely past the top 50 (having watched most of them). Once again, DO NOT WATCH! Dreadful anime.

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

An alright anime- mecha anime (all based on 3 robots, saving planet earth LOL) Those 3 robots can only be pioleted by 3 14 year olds. Ok the main protagist (main character) gets no LOVE at all. Only 2 grown ups do get LOVE (sextually- obviously cencored) and a young girl, 1 of the pilots of a robot, really desires one of the grown ups- which is pretty revolulting, but not unheard of. Last 2 episode confuse the whole story. 4th-3rd last episode is rushed. Last 2 episode= Goes out of the anime, into another reality- with only 1 point, you should believe and trust in yourself- love yourself basically. This was all done to the mentally challenged author- who had a 'break down' after so many critcal views on the last 2 episode LOL. Yet he retorded reudly. The last 2 epiodes just refelct himself- why he went on living. Utter bull**** and not needed if you ask me. The end of Evangelion movie, is just an alternative and much better than orignial last 2 episodes. WELL- if you even consider viewing this anime, please do read my comment- then decide if it will be worth your time (pesonally I didn't think so). P.S= I'm a Code Geass + Death Note + FMA fan, AND I DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS ANIME TO YOU. -1 rating.

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.

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.

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

I LOVE LOVE HINA!!!!

good in comedy. cool plot and charecter. loooooove it...

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

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

ONE OF THE BEST ANIME ^^,

naruto is a very good anime....I cried,laugh,sad and i feel the feeling of love of the characters like sakura's love for sasuke

sickest anime ever. the story behind it. Its just fantastic. Forget those annoying fillers. You must not consider them as parts of the real story. The music they use...it's just amazing. If you watch it from the beginning you will start to feel connected to some situations. The fights are sick. Just have patient and watch it

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)

F***ing worst anime ever naruto is soooooo annoying!!!

too long

for me this is the best anime i have ever seen in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great anime I loved it

one boring annoying long anime but it's popular and that's the ONLY reason I'm still watching it come on in naruto shippuden after the fight with pain they've had like 30 shi... episodes and naruto's speeches ..ahhhh so heart touching , i almost puke each time i hear them not to mention that 50% of the episodes are fillers not even worth watching

good anime.... i want Sasuke and Sakura to be together!!! go SASUSAKU fans!!!! and Naruto and Hinata too!! :)

People naruto needs fillers, naruto without fillers is like some kind of ninjas serial killers that have war all the time! REALLY? Is that an anime? for me, NO! Not even close! I wanna se u guys creating an anime without fillers, how you guys are gonna have story for the anime with only fights? Omg... AND KimiKiss Pure Rouge in 17º OMFG!

what tha hell... this should be in tha top rated 3...!! best anime ever...!! Its just awesome

owwwww... the best ever... u can judge base on many anime blogs... naruto always 1st.... :)

Love it. Makes you cry laugh and cry again. This list is rigged if Naruto is #50. The way I tell if a list is worth looking at or not is with whats i the top ten spots. If it's something like Naruto, bleach, one peice, death note and stuff like that i look at the list.if Naruto bleach or one peice is not at the one of the top three spots then I find a new list :/

i love all the characters. they're like the real thing, adding spice to story. i like it when naruto learns new techniques, it makes me want to watch more and more^^

In my opinion naruto should be number two, cause the filler degrade tha rank, eventhough i watched all episodes, i really love it!!! of course number one is one piece, and number three is bleach! >.<

naruto is ranked the no. 1 anime of all times its full of action and trilogy . you all who dont know should watch the continuation in shippuden believe me its awesome

come on guys 51. u must be joking. one of the best it is.. naruto, bleach, one piece and full metel alchemist should be in the tpo.

I agree that all of the Naruto fillers absolutely KILL the show. But i just watched it all together and skipped the fillers and it is a great anime. You have to admit that some of the fight scenes in naruto shippuden are second to NONE. Team 10 and Kakashi vs. Hidan and that other dude, the fight sequences in that scene are some of the best of all time. But seriously cut it with the fillers

This is the gratest anime ever.

show is ok. if you're a 10 year old. plot is good until they decide to stop following it and play 30 episodes of filler that have nothing to do with the storyline.

apsolute great anime with great inovation,ideas and characters are good ! it deserve better place on this toplist

# 32??!!! this should be number 1. this is the most viewed anime ever. many just keep on watchin it and they dont care about the rating but this should be on the top!

One of my comments got removed ¬_¬ To the person who commented above me: Ouran high is for females, why? The way the guys look and being in a club + the female don't even look like a girl IMO (In My Opinion). Full metal alchemist is like 80 episodes (15 eps from orignal anime, the rest from brotherhood)- how is the comparable to the dragonball franchise (dragon ball and z are mixed- GT was directed by somebody else, well the start anyway and is not part of the manga). Please tell me how 350+ episodes are compariable to a mere 80. Like I said before, long animes (above 150 eps) should not be compared to shorter ones. Code geass and death are the 2 greatest animes ever. However, for mecha the gudam franchise is far superior (for mecha only, not as a whole). DBZ is considered a male anime, which many people enjoy- the fact that it contains no romance and avatar/ ouran high/ fruit basker all do, I'm going to speculate that your a girl (not being sexist in any way, just stating my opinion). Futhermore, there are more males than females viewers in anime, therefore DBZ is far superior than avatar and the current big 3 :) Manga/ Anime sales show this (on a global scale). P.S= I'm sorry if I sounded (previous comment)/sound (this comment) critial, I'm just stating my opinion with a justified reason.

Dude,i am from Turkey.Pls read my sentence well before you criticised me.I have never said that avatar was so popular in all over the world.And i have never said that i didnot like short series,i did say i liked long series.I have watched animes for about 10 years and i am really an animemaniac that the only thing that i do in my free time is to watch anime.I donot know how many anime i have watched so far.I do like short animes too for example GTO,Fruit basket,Minami-ke,ouran high,special A...(there are so many that i cannot list).Fairy tail is also good and will be greater and DBZ is the best among DB series but for me is not good enough to compare with naruto-one piece-bleach.Actually if we count avatar as an anime,avatar is far better than DBZ.I could only compare DBZ with inuyasha and full metal alchemist.These are my thoughts and i respect your all personal thoughts...

where do i start with this show love naruto had too many fillers as most would agree. taking out the fillers this show is 1 of the best!

Btw, I was talking about the guy above my last comment ("For me the top 3 should be naruto-b....."). Dude, your either british or american. This is because not many japenese or other countries have watched avatar. Additionally, you say you say you don't like short animes- you do know nearly all of the TOP 50 animes in this list, if not the world, consists of animes below 100 episodes. The BIG 3 (naruto, bleach and one piece) shouldn't really be considered to shorter animes. This is because, these mangas (comics turned into anime) have SOO many episodes because they were extrmly popular, especially in america (well more naruto and bleach then one piece- but one piece is most popular is japan- and one piece was cur of in america cause they kept cutting half the ****- cause they thought it was inappropirate). Personally, one piece is far better than bleach, but just a little under naruto. But, DBZ is the best. Fairy tail, one piece, naruto, DBZ and bleach should be only be compared together. Overall, you should get into the habit of shorter animes, if you plan on watching, whats known as the greatest animes of all time. However, nowadays the new anime trend is reallly long ongoing animes tend to be the better considered the better animes (especially in america).

For me the top 3 should be naruto-bleach-one piece.I donot think everyone who voted here watched all the episodes of this three.Because these 3 animes have around 1000 episodes in total.I know everyone has a diffirent taste about both animes and other things.But believe me if you watch all these 3 animes you will understand what i mean. About naruto,i think everyone give here their votes counting naruto shippuuden.For me without shippuuden this anime is a ordinary anime.With shippuuden both scenario and the characters has gain a momentum.But to understand the scenario you should watch naruto too.I have watched so many animes including dragon ball series,full metal,avatar,bleach,one piece,death note,code geass(because i like long series) but this one is the best anime i have ever watched(my favorite character is jiraiya-ero sennin-i wish he was in the anime now.

youre wrong naruto is worth watching it should be the #1

it sucks, this shouldn't be on the list, its not an anime worth watching, just a waste of time . Its even worse than Bleach

How the hell is this so low?! This should be in the top 5 list along with Bleach. What is wrong with you ppl?! I agree the fillers are stupid but once you get pass that you will not regret watching it. Now if you dont want to watch the filler eps, as many have said, read the manga. Shippuden is the best thing out there right now. Naruto gets a lot stronger and doesn't say any stupid stuff like before. Sasuke, well, what can I say? You have to watch it. The story gets more and more interesting. This is mature stuff and not kids stuff seriously don't underestimate the anime!

it's like the best anime

How could Naruto be on #94?! Is is the best anime ever! Love the manga, love the anime. To much fillers, but who cares? And they are sweet, too. Great story. Kishimotos on #1!!

it is only good it you watch it in japanese otherwise naruto will annoy you to death

The first couple of arks are good. But after one of the mail villains die (Oorichimaru) and after the attack of Akatsuki it has just become so lame that i am no longer watching. And they have entire filler arks.

If you take out all the fillers, there's only 10 episodes left. You only get one fight every 6 months!! Great, NOT.

this is the #1 anime i ever sen naruto even disney wants naruto cartoon network to isthe best naruto

TOP TEN SHOULD BE IN TOP TEN

Great anime a must watch, however too many filler episodes and way too much taling before, during and after most if not all fights in the whole series.

I am really surprised that this is ranked so low, this and Bleach should be way higher on the list. For those of you who are complaining about the filler episodes and Naruto's cheesy speeches, all I can say is to read the manga, there are no filler episodes or filler arcs. And once it gets to Naruto Shippuden, the plot gets to be really good, really fast and keeps getting better as the plot moves along. Also, once you get to Shippuden, Naruto's character gets much better, he stops making cheesy speeches and he gets much smarter as well. Although, in terms of filler eps, there is a total of one that I think is worth watching because it is hilarious, episode 101 is the best filler I've ever seen, I literally could not stop laughing. Now that I think about it, it would be my favorite anime if the plot wasn't so slow, but other than that it's awesome

Again... to people who are not really avid Naruto and Bleach fans... the anime versions are Excellent but you have to NOT watch some of the filler Episodes which ruins your viewing!!! Naruto and Bleach are Graphic Novels so I suggest you watch Episodes that are really in the Novels and Not watch the other Filler episodes and then rethink what you just said about these animes!!!

This show goes up and down in epicness to draging on and on , but all in all i agree it is top 5 material , very creative show, love it.

Come on guys NARUTO 91, i guess i am now feeling the whole list is all wrong this is worth being top 5.

"Millions watch it" is not a valid argument whatsoever. The only reason millions watch it is because it is provided to the billions of children on this Earth through the biggest cartoon network(s). Majority statistics prove nothing of a show's quality :P

oh, I just love all of the 80 fillers in a row and 5 eps of talk 1 of fight... /sarcasm/

This anime sucks and should not even be ranked this high. The main character always gives his cheesy long speeches every episode and always magically manages to overcome his opponents in the end.

It sucks! Well maybe not the first part (until sasuke leaves) which has a decent story. I watch it because it was popular and I was very disappointed. To be fair I’d have probably like that when I was 10 years old.

#71 what the hell this site is misleading

Only a freaking idiot would hate this show.(Sorry to all who hate it)

How is this #71... it should definitely be top 3

The highlight episodes are great, fillers are meh.. Still, definitely worth watching. I watch it every week along with my beloved One Piece :)

I love this anime. Hate most of the filler (5 tails arc anyone BLAH) and the flashbacks are out of control. Definitely deserving to be in the top 20. If sailor moon beats this and one piece then you're all freaking retarded.

Naruto is good once you week out ALL the freaking filler eps. Shippuuden is making this one of my top picks.

What can you say, people love to hate on success. Millions watch it for a reason!

the greatest anime ever existed man, even disney channel wants it

Stupid anime

eh?...43?

this should be NUMBER ONE HELL YA

I love the elric brothers there so funny as hell. But sometimes i wish their lives woudn't be so risky. But still love them, best anime ever!!

I cried on the 7th episode of FMA... the 7TH.

But he DOES grow tall in FMA brotherhood. I watched FMA first, and then FMA Brotherhood, and to me, the ending in FMA kinda left you hanging, but in FMA brotherhood it kinda leaves you happy and allows you to move on to another anime haha.

In my opinion this should be number 1! Death Note is good also but the FMA is better. The first series had more drama, but brotherhood is more sci-fi and is more breath taking (mostly the finishing episodes).

hellll no!!!! #50 ?! (doshtey)

i was sooooo sad when ed and al got separated but the good news is they got reunited in the brotherhood episode

This just has to be number one. The characters are all just awesome, and the concept is amazing. This is hands down my favorite anime... touching, hilarious, action-y, and pretty much everything, I guess.... but in a really, really, really good way.

FMA Brotherhood should be #1

If you don't like this anime you aren't human. This should be no. 1 without a doubt. This show is unique, not like a lot of other anime's I've seen. Great characters, original plot, action..its got everything. Yes the characters really hit you with emotion when you watch. NO. 1

this is the best anime I've seen because of al the emotional points in the show

all the elements that add up in this anime makes it the best I've ever seen.

Watch FMA (Full Metal Alchamist) orginal anime series and finish it. The first series is very emotinal in a good way- not much romance tho lol. Then watch Brotherhood frm episode 13- basically the first series caught up to the manga (comics) and decided to make their own ending. After he goes to the devils inn (or wateva), brotherhood continues from the manga. Although, I don't like the new animation graphics in brotherhood + it's not as emotional as the original but better story line (obviously, since the manga plot is EPIC).

ugh, I started this one but I didnt like the begging....But since there are so many positive reviews I might give it another try -Nel

Original not as good as the more manga follower remake, but still decent...I would recomend FMA Brotherhood because its far superior.

One of my Fav series. It everything I was looking for in a anime!! Also Love the FMA brother hood Opening Song

FMA got really stupid in the end.Lots of loose ends. FMA brotherhood is much better story wise. It sticks to the manga but the animation isnt as good as FMA's. PS Ed DOES grow taller. Check the manga or Brotherhood if you dont believe me :P

i love that they've made fma brotherhood into an anime because i'm not much of an manga reader. brotherhood is so much more different than this anime but i still love it!

I have no words to express how brilliant it is.. But Brotherhood rules ofcourse!! and no way, if Ed grows taller then I will change my dog's name XD

I like fma brotherhood better. It sticks tighter to the manga. Oh and dont worry Ed, someday you WILL grow tall. I hope.

FMA is Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its # 2 on my list!

this anime should be number on this list(like it is in my heart) I loved the story and its originality and the ending made me sad but I love it when anime end like that. I thought that there could be nothing that could top this show... then I was proven wrong when Brotherhood came.

they need to continue it, i want to know if Ed would ever come back after what happened in the end.

great anime but ending was not that much clear that it should have been.

Brotherhood was fantastic so much better then the first anime series. One of the best.

brilliant anime. concept , characters and the story are simply amazing. and if u see it , you'l realize how the laws of equivalency actually exist in reality. one of a kind....should be no, 1

Absolutely awesome show, total genius concept. The last few episodes let it down though. Would really love another series.

Another one of my favorite animes, It's a fantasy, action, supernatural and more importantly it's a slice of life type anime, so sad

Should be number 1 in my opinion... you can get really attached to these characters and their adventure

Brotherhood is a pretty solid anime, it has good story and is more rapid than the first one, untill you get to the ending, fillers finally hit this at later arch's you get crap on your bread, ending is averige but original. Recomend to people who are new to the "scene"

The real manga adaptation is called Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. The plot is great as is the animation. The characters' struggles are for me the best thing in this anime.

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

Great show! honestly one of my faves of all time throughout my childhood, but it was also the show that was a factor in the end of my childhood. When they changed the voice actors, I was like in total WTF mode! the whole fantasy just.. disappeared for me. ;(

By far my fav anime series, lost it a bit from gen IV but then picked right back u in Gen V (Season 14) It has a funny side and a serious side. Im 14 and still evey week I download the new episode of POKEMON!

More of a clasic

Not to popular anymore. For little kids mostly.I'm 13 and stopped watching when I was 10. Sometimes I watch a new episode but it lost it's touch.how do you really remember all of the pokemons. Thats just amazing. The one part I still love is the first movie and all the theme songs. I listen to them all the time. My little nerdy secret ^-^

The first season was good, then after that BAM, it waskilled. Sure, it's a nice anime.. for 11 year olds. The video games are mediocre, so, no, No the best anime video game BY FAR. Digimon kicks Pokemon's butt hands down. Pokemon totally ripped off Digimon. xD

Most amazing anime I have seen. Also the games were great. I love all their pokemon and the humour is quite good too. The characters are beautiful and so is the scenery. I would deffo recommend to watch.

POKEMON was everyones childhood why is this so low if were not talking about that crap they show now on CN then this show is awesome helping kick off anime for most of us!

I think its the best game on DS.

Pokemon original series was my childhood :)

pokemon > pokemon orange islands were amazing! it was the first anime ive ever watched and will always be my favorite. if it had continued in the direction it was going from orange islands instead of turning into a repeating game advertiser/tutorial it would, no doubt, deserve spot #1

better than anything even deathnote

great anime it deservs to be on top five oh and no competition in video game of animes it's got to be most populer

First 3 seasons were great but now its just crap and rubbish

OMG!! fav anime of all timez XD

One of the first anime i ever watched and it still stands up as one of the best

Just finished this anime. It was great! :)

Just finished this anime. It was great!

Fantastic anime. One of my favorites.

Awsome Anime, love the chick.

Not for the younger audience, but very entertaining with lots of gun play and action.

Really not for kids thats for sure (I would say, over 16 maybe). Thats why its not higher, a lot of people who watch anime are young but if you want action, great characters and guns (but good gun you know, just enough!) then this anime is for you! PS: I am a girl and I loved it, it might be a sort of seinen but its great!!

its a sad and fun movie

Great muther-effin show! While the action is sometimes kinda iffy, it has probably the best story line I have ever witnessed with my own two eyes, chico

Best anime ever, got tired of watching after Aizen's death but might start watching again cuz i love it so f**king much LOL I'm so weird. I'm also going to start reading the manga HAHA. Best character Zaraki, funniest guy ever even though he's so bloody

Someone told me this is a good anime. That person didn't understand how f*king awsome this show is. I love the characters,twists,story and the action. I wish the show could excist forever.

This is one of my Fav. Anime. Bleach has wicked fighting scenes, and has a strange but suprising storyline. Also is kind of funny but mostly action .... Kon is the man

best anime worth watching excellent swordsmanship and gr8 characters like zaraki

bleach is the best anime ever I like the swords and action and all that comedy too but serieously 54 luv Mayuri

bleach is good, but it should have ended after the death of aizen

It was great at the beginning, and my favourite arc was the saving Rukia one. The Espada arc was amazing too. This anime has great characters and decent plot development, but after Aizen died it got very pointless, and now I am only watching it because I want to see how it ends.

Love, love, love this show!!! Lots of episodes so i dont get bored or disappointed with an ending

One of the best animes ever made.

this is rated so low in the list because of filler amongst other problems. and dont say "watch it without filler." or "read the manga". this is the best anime list, not best manga list. if they produced it without filler and stuck to the damn story it might be rated higher. same goes for naruto. i liked naruto until the filler came. so bad it made me quit watching it. thus the crappy rating.

bleach is the best it has comedy action and a lot more highly recommended to people who love action

It's one of my favorite anime's of all time. The show kind of looses it's edge after the soul society arc. The tone shifts towards a more silly/idotic tone after it, (which to be fair is common in most animes.) and the music gets... really bad. The story is really good, the animation is generally really beautifull. The action is really good. Not the most thought provoing anime in the world, but niether is dragon ball z and we all love that.
