Comments:
i love this anime so much im so glad i kept watching it but this is an anime for someone who can actually investigate a lot of time and rewind because with all the switching around it can get soooo confusing.
I love how you had to follow the story line to understand where everything began it was brilliant work

Yuki’s earliest memory is of a stormy night in winter, wherein she was attacked by a vampire… And then rescued by another. Now 10 years later, Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, has grown up and become a guardian of the vampire race, protecting her savior, Kaname, from discovery as he leads a group of vampires at the elite boarding school. But also at her side is Zero Kiryu, a childhood friend who’s hatred for the creatures that destroyed everything he held dear, is now determined never to trust them. This coexisting arrangement seems all well and good, but have the vampires truly renounced their murderous ways, or is there a darker truth behind their actions? Is Kaname’s infatuation with Yuki the beginning of a forbidden romance, or is it something in her forgotten past that draws him to her? In this world of secrets, nothing is as it seems, and the price of misplaced trust may even be worse than death.

When I was at the age of 7,I've started to watch Vampire Knight.Zero Kiryu,so SEXY ,Kaname Kuran, so HANDSOME !!!!! And also , Yuki Cross ,so BEAUTIFUL !!!!! OMG ! XD!
Ok, i dont know who you are, but f your gonna harass me about my paraghraph i just did, then get lost, telling you spoilers would make people jealous so i think its fair that everyone should find the secrets on their own. GOT IT! now stop arguing about more info and find somewhere else to brag....
Oh thanks for that info man, really helped :). Right now my spine is tingling to find out what those secrets were you said. CMON man, give me more info, i need more, more MMMMOOORRREEEE!!
I have watched this anime over 50 times, and searched the damn internet for season 3 for almost 2 years. I finally found that season 3 "Vampire Knight destiny" is on it's way to Australia some time in 2013. For anyone who loves vampire based romance/action/twists and riddles, season 3 is going to leave you spineless, it will actually because the secret was revealed in Japan yesterday on a Japanese news channel and boy the cover looked EPIC! And for the rivals between who Yuki should take as her husband, it's gonna leave you sitting on the floor crying for weeks. AH well no more spoilers from me and besides i got this info from a friend in Japan so get ready for...~VAMPIRE KNIGHT DESTINY~
Really a great and amazingly original anime. Haven't read the manga but I'm sure it is amazing as well...
i was really confused at the end. i dont know if she loved kaname or zero. honestly, i think she was a better match for zero, but thats just my opinion! and this was a vantastic anime!!
Okay, everyóne saying this is like Twilight, just can it. Twilight came out way after this awesome Anime/Manga and don't you dare compare it anyway. Vampire Knight doesn't rely on its love story only and everyone who watched it will know the series doesn't even focus on Yuuki but on Zero at the beginning. The story even gets prety complicated at the end. This is by all means the best vampire-based Anime I've ever watched.
It's way too much like twilight and I feel like I've seen it all before you know? If you're just starting out into anime then it's a good watch but otherwise I'd recomend something different
woah!! this is the ebst vampire anme thati've watched and it makes me watch all over again.. but hopefully i'm still waiting for season 3. and my favorite sound tracks especially the ENDING THEME "STILL DOLL".
LOVED this anime ! the soundtrack to it is AMAZING , very great storyline < definetly one of my top 10 !
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
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!
... 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
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
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
hated it, just another pretty boy vampire series. The antagonist had so much hype, I thought he'd be...more.
2 words..."The Best" and yeah, i wouldn't recomend this anime to guys...sorry:)
Probably the best vampire anime. It's more design for girls I think.

Comments:
Eh u guy who made the first comment thanks for the major spoiler ):
Naruto is awsome and should be at the top five because of the amazing story and quality of the fights. It is emotional, funny, and AWSOME. To me ot is number one for everything. My favorite character would be neji because he sacrificed his life for naruto. I'll never forget him😢.
I really loved this show it is the best! It is the first anime I ever watched
Naruto was the first anime I ever watched and now I cannot get enough! The episodes always had emotion, despite a lot of them being fillers. I remember getting so excited while watching the shows and even the movies! The characters seemed real to me, because they didn't just feel one emotion the entire series, they are complex characters and the plot is amazing! The plot always made me wonder and dream of ways it could end, I always learned moral lessons and the love that Naruto has for all of his friends is awe inspiring, despite going through a hellish childhood. Despite Sakura treating him like crap (she is my favorite character I am not bashing), Sasuke's issues, and not only the village's attitude towards him, but the entire world's attitude he still loved each and everyone of them. I have never seen a more awe inspiring anime in my life and believe me I have seen more then my fair share!!
everyone rate a down on all anime which are above Naruto that you think should be below Naruto because this deserves better
Naruto is an amazing show. im not kidding, at first Naruto is like dragon ball at he beginning, childish, but as you go deeper, the plot get deeper, and you feel for the characters. but Naruto shippuden is where its at. Naruto shippuden has all that plus more. the fights get to the point of ledgendary, and sadly it gets too deep. like ok deep is spending an episode of greif. too deep is make a whole 34 episodes about kakashi's past. anyways it has that thing that hooked me to anime. when i watched fairy tail before Naruto, i thought anime wasn't even good. but Naruto and anruto shippuden taught me to be patient, an how characters feel, and many life lessons to. also Naruto keeps a special spot in my heart. its higher then some people in my life, for sure. but i value people more and have become a better person because of this
How is it the best it has a weak plot the fights arent even that cool.(still like it tho)
what is going on no 17? i think naruto is best animated show ever.the story plot is very exciting.dialogues are amazing.it must be no 1
What?! Number 18?! you gotta be joking...I know there's a thousand episodes and it drags on but this should be number 1. first off, it's the most inspirational anime I've ever seen. It will make you cry and you will never feel sad the show has ended because it's still going. All the episodes are planned out very well and might be used for something later in the show. You must watch WAY more than 3 or 5 episodes to grow a liking to it but once it got really interesting, you will get hooked!
You should not judge Naruto from just watching the first few episodes. I love how someone said that Naruto always ends up defeating his opponents in the end. That's not really true. I loved this anime because it's more realistic. Good people die, and bad people die. There are difficult things that Naruto does overcome, and some of them he doesn't. Shippuden makes this anime even greater, too.
They only made the filler episodes because the anime caught up with the manga. The filler episodes don't really matter that much to watch unless you read the Manga.
Btw. Don't skip the Filler Episodes. Bad idea, because they weave important stuff into the filler episodes, so you might miss it.
Number 19? Seriously. No.
This should be number one.
This anime wasn't just a show to me. It was much more than that. It inspired me in so many ways in life. I'd been lost in my depression and I couldn't figure out what I was going to do with my life, but after watching Naruto... I was so happy and I realized my dreams and goals. It's such an amazing and inspiring anime, and it's fun and entertaining. Sure there are a lot of filler episodes, but honestly, those were all pretty good too.
Where is Naruto Shippuden,Fairy tail, Bleach and One Piece they should be in top 5 with Naruto in my opinion...
this should be no 1 show....they are fools to put it on 19 no.........
Not sure why it's ranked @ number 22. This fact befuddles me. But nevertheless, great anime.
Naruto? Number 23? Something isn't right. Yes, I am aware that it has a bunch of fillers that may make viewers lose sight of the real plot. But so what? This anime has very inspiring and pleasant characters, a superb storyline, fight scenes that can leave you speechless, and some very useful life lessons that some people could use nowadays. This series deserves someplace in the top 10. I mean, really? (I don't hate these animes by the way) D.N.Angel, Elemental Gelade, and Ah! My Goddess are in the top 10? Are you serious?
how is this even on the list.
its just a filler that got hyped on by 10 yr olds
How...how isn't this number 1?? Whenever anime/manga is even mentioned or thought of, this is the one that comes to mind! Insane.
Great story line, good character development, well done twist, great manga, but anime wise... uhm, I believe Fillers episodes destroy the story. I love Naruto, I honestly do. But the fillers started to bore me, like for this certain season there's at least more than half Fillers than the original story.
Additionally, supporting/side characters are so numerous it's not even funny at all. Side the fact each of those side characters has their own past story that's been narrated even though the connection to the present event is way too far to be considered important.
Those thing made this anime bad, thus the reason I quit watching it.
this is good story..but the anime is bad...i more like to read naruto in manga than watch in anime...hope the new producer creat new naruto anime ...such as like hunter x 2011
This Anime is truly one of the best Animes ever Can't be compared to any other Anime, Characters are well enhanced during the Anime, tricks and fighting skills is on whole another level in addition that the anime itself include alot of morals and ethics about friendship hardwork and changing the world everything is just amazing this anime is way better than any other anime it's going to end really soon but still it should be counted as no 1 anime
naruto is the first picture that comes to mind whenever a person hears the word 'anime'. right now, the francise is practically the DEFINITION of ANIME, or pretty much JAPAN.
Naruto is the best Anime ever. The number of charatures/ "powers" per charature will amaze you. The fighting and battle animation totally rocks. It starts so simple and childish but developes into a huge and very dynamic story. The charature development is really good. There is alot of comedy and slap-stick type stuff I guess so it's nice to laugh every few episodes. There is a really cool spiritual concept throughout the anime. I also liked the idealist and positive thinking protagonist. I highly recomind watching it but only if you watch the whole thing. Naruto Shippuden much also be watched aw well seeing as how Naruto is only half the story.
Naruto is the best anime ever!!!
I love Itachi and Deidara. Tobi makes me laugh.
and Naruto is just like me.I own the first season, I have Orochimaru's earing, and I own 6 Naruto manga books. I can never get enough of this anime.
there's nothing to not love about this one... it is without a doubt the best anime... death note is awesom too! i agree...
I'm 31 years old. I've been watching anime longer than many of you have been alive. Naruto is a great series. Some of you think you can't like it because it's popular. Don't want to ruin your rep as a hardcore anime freak huh? Forget that nonsense. The show has a great storyline, with plot twists that are perfectly coherent and come at just the right time. Character development is second to none. It has humor, sorrow, wicked fight scenes, and anything you could want from an anime. Unfortunately, like all my other favorites, I fear for the ending of this show.
I feel that Naruto is no where near a masterpiece and that the ones above it deserve their place. It is always sad when people tell me that they love anime when they have only watched Naruto and Bleach. There is so much out there and they don't know it. I think rank #32 is too high though. Even Haruhi deserved to be higher than Naruto and I hated Haruhi!
At the moment this is by far my favorite anime. I liked the fact that the writer(s) took the time to develop each character, especially Naruto. Unlike Bleach, which i love by the way, you can see the gradual progress of not only the characters but the plot as well( the fact the Naruto wasn't an overnight hero is quite refreshing). This is one anime where sheer hard work and determination beats it all. Even though it's a long series, the plot stays strong and does not deviate, the characters; you can't get enough of. It's an excellent piece. My only problem is waiting for the next episode, one a week, i think I'm really feed up with that. However, to the writers and directors of this anime, i applaud you.
This anime Continues in Shippuden .... Where the main characters grew and mature .... a lil kib would lose interest because its very mature .... I personaly Hated it once but .. I have come to realize that its the best Anime in the world ... bleach came First of Course ... i was hating on one piece too... but now its one of my favorite .... The rule is if you like watching anime give each and every anime a chance to prove themselves how nice they can get..I mean they entertain us after all (Naruto~Naruto Shippuden~Bleach~One Piece) are now my top Favorite anime and to think that I use to hate...I just give the a Change .. and next thing you ..THIS happens!!!
This anime should be way up on the list. Seriously, anyone who has gotten through the show has been hooked on it. And yea, it has fillers, but the story is worth all the fillers. Just looking up information on the characters in the show make me believe that this anime should be considered to be the greatest anime ever created. The show gets so ridiculous that its ridiculously awesome! One Piece, Death Note, DBZ, and FMA should all be in the top 10 or 15 at least.
Amazing anime only down fall is that its hard to watch because of all the fillers if you watch it make sure to skip fillers
for all of you who say this anime is too long really?????? I rather have an anime be too long and great then great 24 episodes long and leave you wanting more. Great Anime, great cast, great story. Thankyou dbz for paving the way. And you know this annime is great cuase there are about 8 movies and 500+ epiodes and still going.
Naruto is a decent anime with some of the most epic fights you could find in any animes. Naruto vs Pain fight for example.
The only drawback of this anime is fillers, which you can skip. But once again, fighting elements in this anime are extremely well made which you will not be able to guess or predict.
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)
for me this is the best anime i have ever seen in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
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.
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!
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
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.
Only a freaking idiot would hate this show.(Sorry to all who hate it)
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
104.
The whirlwind tale of two brothers who sacrificed their bodies (well, in one case, part of his) to try and resurrect their mother and failed. Now, they seek out the Philosopher's Stone to get back what they have lost. Exciting with hilariously lovable characters and dark, human stories. You laugh, you cry, and you cheer.
Comments:
Only 22, best anime ever. The humor, and heart wrenching story made me cry with laughter and tears of sorrow.
I agree with you all this one should be higher ranked. I fell in love with this show and was addicted to it.
this is pure injustice. FMA(B) deserve to be top 5 at least. it has everything; action, suspence, twist, love, tragedy, humanity, ideals, humour, randomness, and baddassery. not just that, all of it are more or less exist in real life. the pain brought from war, the extermely biased yet extremely overlooked racism, the 'big guns' showing off their powers by oppressing other nations, and many, many more. it can be said that FMA(B) is Arakawa-sensei's personal, cloaked criticism to the world. pure brilliant.
This really should be at least top ten in my opinion. The art is good, the plot is well thought out, most episodes make you rather emotional at the end, the tunes and songs chosen for the anime are brilliant, the anime has some deeper meaning, it is very believable and on top of all that it still has some humor. The only animes I have seen that could rank above this is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, and possibly Deathnote. All in all, a brilliant anime.
This show is THE most overrated anime ever. FINALLY. It's not in the top 10. Thank you whoever made this list!
It's a beautiful anime, as younger I thought it was kind of scary, but re-watching it now... I still love it.
ok i do NOT see why this isnt #1!! it has an amazing and very original plot, the characters are so real, and emotion and suspense are top-notch. Even with the fantasy elements in it, it makes you rethink your morals. I feel deeply affected by this anime, and the only thing i hate is how the ending was a cliffhanger, and he didnt marry winry... I havent watched brotherhood cuz i just cant get over the change aand how it starts weird :( but i wil try to watch it since i hear he plots better... and really, how in the world did this not get at least #2?!
in my opinion the FMA is greatest anime I ever seen the characters are sambols of our world . it simply show you the way how should you manage to reach the victory . you see the Patience of tow brothers, they,re in a lot pains but they never cross the line
let me tell a secret , most people think crossing the line are necessary for victory and their goals
you may reach such victory but this way you lose yours friends so how can you hold on to it
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!!
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).
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.
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.
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.

I absolutely loved this series. Great character development and had a good way of changing between characters. Was happy that the main protagonist ended up with the girl I had been routing for throughout the entire series. They were definitely destined to be together. Really good anime like True Tears and Clannad, chock full of drama and romance. If you like these genres you are in luck.

ill be the first to comment > i found this anime by chance and i loved the plot. it was a bit short so the end seemed rushed but it was really good. you get to see main as he changes from a child to a young adult. very interesting short summery - in a futuristic time period and no one lives on earth anymore but these two twins come home to find there parents dead. next they are abducted and placed on an island filled with strange plants and animals and must survive. not only that but they soon figure out they have been put on the planet where criminals are sent so why were they sent there and how do they get home/
This was really good the ending made me mad though but over all it was good

I like the comedy and the hot babes and the awesome fighting, but he true is the role that the main character sucks!! and the ending is even worse.
Very under-rated anime. It very well deserves to be at least in top 10.
Anime has a very intense story line wich makes episodes go very fast.
Characters are very well drawn and is said to be made by the same author as bible black...so expect a lot of hot bodies in this anime...yeah
The anime posses a lot of hilarious moments which will make you laugh to your tears, but don't get me wrong it is quite serious and hardcore anime, although not one of those were some of the main characters would die...but you never know :)
Episodes are full of martial art fights with characters equipped by supernatural powers and secret techniques.

this was the best anime ever I started watching this when I was 8 or 7it was so goods that I watched it all over again like 100 billion times
The main bad guys role is really exceptional in this show. It is very awesome they made the main bad guy like the way he is.
it's good, funny and all, but you really should check the list of fillers before starting to watch. The fillers ruins the actual series.
This anime was simply awesome, but it should have ended after the Aizen situation resolved. Everything after that.. I don't know, it just got weird. It's almost like someone was forcing Tite Kubo to continue Bleach. After the Aizen situation was resolved, there was nothing left to say. No loose ends to tie up, it was just over with. If Kubo wanted to continue Bleach, he should have just made another Bleach series as opposed to adding more onto it. I suppose somewhere down the line, maybe it will all tie together, but I really lost interest in it after all the Aizen stuff. Also, the "filler" seasons were mostly terrible and not worth watching, so skip them and just stick with the main story. This is a great anime, but it's also the perfect example of an anime that should have been over already.
Bleach was so so SOOO good... until around episode 63 or so, when they decided to turn it into a franchise. They stopped all the battles, brought back all the dead characters (oh, they were all just in the hospital...), and the evil bad guy suddenly flew away into the sky saying "We'll meet again...!" I really tried to give it another chance, but the next 50 or so episodes were absolutely terrible, so I stopped watching. Do not watch, it's not worth the disappointment.
Bleach was the second anime I had ever watch and I instantly fell in love! It's so worth watching and it's so much fun trying to figure out everyone's zanpakto and powers and stuff. The only thing that I don't like is the filler arcs at the begining like with the bounts and the kasumiojis. They're long and they take away from the plot a little bit. The arcs that follow the manga are so much easier to follow :)
BLEACH BLEACH BLEACH! Bad thing about this is there are arcs where it gets boring and you want to see the storyline. But all the characters are awesome Ichigo and Aizen's fight was the best i've ever seen. this anime is...NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!.....and naruto is number two...
-thejacoby14 (on youtube)
Top 5 best EASY! This list is broken just seeing bleach so low. I haven't even seen Gundam yet.
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
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.
My best anime after naruto.Great thema and story.In this anime everything is suberp but there is too many subtitles.But the main title is suberp.You cannot guess the scenario.My best character is Shunsui Kyōraku(eight division captain)
I didnt watch all de episodes but it still was an awesom anime. dude, grimmjow is fine!!!!! i luv it wen he beat up ichigo. dat was funny as heck...........sorry ichigo =)
Great anime and deserves to be higher in the ranks. I agree that alot of the episodes are filler and sequences are dragged out a bit to long but nonetheless it is a great show with funny moments and good fight scenes. I wish there was more diversity in their abilities. read the manga and u will b able to skip the filler(but yall should check out the Zanpakto rebellion arc it is worth watching)
i like the fact that all the most commented anime are in the best, but low ranked anime like this one.
i mean seriouly...-90!! negative!?! WTH
lol
bleach and naruto is good
it is hard to do such a long story
Wonderful anime series, but like naruto and one piece, it's dragged on way too long. over 250 episodes is unreal, but still recommended!
Great anime it should be higher in the list, love all the action and humor, would say its better than naruto.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ANIME EVER MADE...THIS SHOULD BE 1 OF THE TOP 5..
ok i know this is your list... but can i just say that Bleach.. Naruto.. and One piece are supposed to be in your top 5? or ten at least... you just might not like it just because of some of the filler episodes but man these 3 are 3 of the best out there... I definitely suggest you try to watch them again...without the fillers of course^^
This is in my favorite anime show ever. Unfortunately it jumped the shark when they returned from the Soul Society (I think the episode number was somewhere in the high 80s to low 100s when it turned bad). It became so stupid that I could no longer watch it.
THIS SHOW STARTS OUT AS THE BEST ANIME EVER THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS ARE PRICELESS , but slowly downslides into never ending repition. The creaters got lazy and lost all creativity. Yeah its cool to see something grow into infinite power, but come on not another Dragon ball z ..........................throw up blahhh!
This anime is so rubbish and cheesy, i don't care what anyone says i hate ith through and through, the characters and idea are lame and the storyline is just poitless, it should never hhave entered any top anything other than top worst, same as freaking naruto
This is really good fun to watch, and gives you those moments of shivers when a character reaches another level just in time.
However, the skill levels of the opponents and the heroes suddenly go all screwy around the Huecho Mundo arc and beyond.
People who were impossibly strong are suddenly children against new opponents. Heroes increase their levels with no real training involved.
Top 5 anime hands down... naruto, bleach, one piece and yu yu hakusho are all top 6 anime
bleach is an unpredictable anime... every episode gets better and better and its very difficult to know what will happen next... once you start watching this anime you wont stop, believe me!... bleach is one of the best animes you will ever see and ever made!!!
Thee best anime I have ever watched. Fill with action, humor, some minor romance, and plot twists that you'd never see coming. With 279+ episodes it is something i recommend to all anime-lovers.

amazing....is all i have to say. this is definitely a must-see anime
this. is. the. best. thing. you will EVER WATCH! that is, if you watch anime...
It's so sad that Kenshin is only ranked 55 on this list. I have watched tons of anime series and read even more manga, at the age of 31, and yet Kenshin has remained the most outstanding piece of work. Maybe the rating was reduced due to the insanely stupid 3rd arc (ensuing the Shishi-arc)... If the real 3rd arc would be adapted into an anime (and then also more young people would get to know about Kenshin), then it would be the most amazing anime of all time.
best ever and hope to be buried with it .... jkjk but excellent anime
This is one of the older animes, but with a great storyline and epic samurai fights.
Just finished watching it. And now Im looking for another anime with almost same story. I like it very much, the only thing I am not satisfied with, was the ending. I want more romantic scenes of kaoru and kenshin. I wish they made him confess his feelings towards kaoru. jeje
Awesome anime, on my top 5. Lots of action. The ova was just as good..and yes it was sad i think it made me tear up a lil
it is the only anime which has legendary storyline and as well as the hero.....its the best compared to other anime and i still don't know about how many times that i have watched this.....
54th??? are u kidding us? kenshin should belong somewhere top5 or higher!!! kenshin and kaoru forever.
This is the best anime series I have ever seen. The series should not be ended in only 95 episodes.
i love kenshin himura and the rest of the guys in the story... super cute... i sooo love the story and the characters... this made me watch watching anime series...
One of the best series. Awesome characters and stories. I'm guessing not so many people have seen this one, you're missing out!
this is one heck of a kick ass story . a lot of epicness,action,and romance. this classic represents in my opinion one of the best in the old days and even now days. a really worth while anime
Very beatiful anime and OVA's...Its one that will live on. Its also very educational about some periods of Japan history. IMO its the best samurai anime of all time.
Superb story, GREAT characters, and beautiful soundtrack. You'll really get into, keep watching!
Went to Manga museum in Kyoto. 1000s of Manga. One of the workers favourite was Rurouni.
Enough said
Dang this show takes me back. This show is wat made me passionately watch all sorts of anime. it was a sweet escape from hours of Goku and freeza staring each other down. Its not known to many of my friends so I never get to reminisce about it often but It is one of my favorites and like my first big boy bike nothing can ever measure up to it.
One of the best anime I've ever watched. The ending was in the OVA. Sad but a good ending for a brilliant story. This should be on the top of the list. Truly a classic...
This is the show that started me out in anime. There is a great mix of humor, action, and romance. It is certainly still my very favorite anime, however the manga might be even better.
This Surely one of the better anime, this was the show that made me start watching anime in the first place
Best Anime Ever.
I dont care what you say this anime had tones of episodes and always came up with something fresh. Characters kicked ass i mean come on, Saito (sp?) is married thats just funny.
nice anime but I liked It's OVA even more, so sad and beautiful
Great anime, character development, action all around...def top ten!

This is awesome and it rox
This is what got me into anime
2nd most popular video game franchise in the world
Comments:
I think the series is really good for your childhood. It proves very interesting sometimes. But don't get me wrong, I love pokemon and all but it kind of feels like they're repeating the plot every season.
The original Pokemon was amazing and I loved it when I was younger but know there are too many pokemon! When I watched it there were 150 pokemon. Now I read that there are like 648 or something like that...
they should make an anime adaptation of the manga. it's just awesome. don;t get me wrong, the anime is great. it's a part of everyone's childhood, but the only thing that had changed are the pokemon. it's just, you know, getting old. the manga is AWESOME. every generation has their own fresh gar in them. it is SEVERELY UNDERATED in contrast to the (crappy) anime.
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!
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!
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
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

A mystery hidden within another mystery. This show kept me guessing at every second. A very interesting show, and anyone who is concerned about an undeveloped plot is only missing the things that were hidden.. something many of us do. For me, I'd put it in top 2
honestly the best show ever (to me at least)! the action is very different then most action animes cause this is more realistic. season 1, and the OVA's were very good, but season 2, fell short having its main focus being souo
Really great anime, season 2 was amazing but do yourself a favour and watch the 4 OVA's before watching the season, as it fills in what happened in the 2 year gap between season 1 and 2. Not sure I like the ending though, kind of left me depressed and desperately searching google for "Darker than Black season 3??".
This show was very good. By the way? What as*hole decided that this should be ranked below Dragon Ball? I can't even believe that turd made it into the top ten.
Great anime but it was a little confusing as to which direction it was going in.
i felt the direction of the series never really establishes itself unless there were other pieces. i watched the entire 1st season to the last 2-3 episodes before i gave up, just to assure i gave it a chance as some long winded anime requires. I even peeked at season 2 which did look interesting, but only in a direction that even more unanswered questions arised. if you like a simple plot episode by episode with minimal progress in overall theme and character developing it may have something for you
As far as stories go, Darker than black was a great series if you are into primarily character development.
This anime is neither tedious nor moronic.
it's an absolute masterpiece and a nice look at humanity!
This is not amazing, this is tedious and moronic in the extreme. I wish I could have the hours I spent watching this returned to me.

Although this is not technically an anime, more a work of Americans, it has so much asian influence and such a good storyline with drama, romance, action, and comedy, that it deserves to be here. :D
Comments:
watch this then Fullmetal Brotherhood after and your ready also i have only seen the first 3 books, movie looked gay and i stopped watching Nickelodeon p much right after first 2 books but downloaded the 3rd just to finish
THIS IS NOT AN ANIME! but what the heck, it's EPICLY AWESOME, save for the movie and the 2nd season.
the first 3 books were just AWESOME, great storyline, fantastic carakters with much action, drama, romance, comedy. all in all a VERY good anime/comic. but than they did this TERRIBLE movie and the EVEN MORE TERRIBLE 2nd season with korra as new main char. guys trust me the movie+ the legend of korra are just a waste of time. the storry is just bad and nothing compared to the first 3 awesome books of aang :D
this was the first anime i watched and i loved it i whish they make anime like this!!!!!!!!!!!
dude, this is one of the best anime series i'd ever seen. It deserves to be the top ten, like around 6,7,or 8. Personally I think Prince Zuko's the best, then Sokka, then Uncle Iroh, and MoMo is so adorable! Who cares where this was made as long as it's AWESOME. Definitely think the original is better than 'The Legend of Korra'.
Later

this should at least be #5. IT IS AWESOME!!!!
i am complaining about ur opinions!!
I remember I used to spend hours to get some water out of te bowl but it's a grey series
no this should be atleast in top 20. its funny . good fight. the plot itself is great.i love it.
wasn't avatar produced by canadians?
Anyways this series is definitely one of the best. Goes into many different religions/cultures/traditions. It's pretty amazing. The storyline is pretty obvious, but the graphics and uniquely amazing. Character development was this series strong point as well as the real time fighting action simulated through the animation. This is probably top 20.
I donot understand what you mean with your last sentence bro(2nd season is coming out i heard :D).This anime has 3 season(3 book) and it has already a completed.SO whatever... this is one of the best anime i have ever watched.Story-characters-thema everything is perfect in this anime(although it is not a anime let's call this anime:D) For me the worst thing in this anime
is a short one for me(it has three season about 60 episodes)My best character here is uncle Iroh.
Two points:
Animation 10/10
Story 9/10 ending wasnt as great :(
Characters 9.5/10 :D
2nd season is coming out i heard :D
It's got a great storyline, and has lots of twists. It's suitable for lots of different age groups, which is also really good. I was originally a Zutara fan, but then I realized that I don't really like Katara anyway...
I'm so disappointed, I actually though Night Shyamalan was a good director. That was actually beyond words, in a negative sort of way.
This is surprisingly a great nickelodeon cartoon series, i got hooked when i was little, took them years to make new eps and finish the dam series. Great characters and plot however the ending movie sucked and so did the live action film of the first book. Wish it wasn't a cartoon would have been more interesting if it was a *** anime with less restrictions for kids. But a must see.
-5 means haters be lurking. Just because it's not an "anime" doesn't make it bad.
Better storyline than 99% of the anime I've watched, and most certainly better animations as well.
This is #1, I don't care if its technically not amine, its of the same essence.
THE SHOW WAS TOTALLY AWESOME, But they kinda foled the ending into something far less epic than it should have been. I was very dissapointed in the ending, because this show had more potential than almost any others. Movie wasint as great as it should have been either , kind of a let down!!!!!!! AWESOME SHOW THOUGH! THE BEST I LOVE IT!
Not anime at all but should top some of the most greatest stories ever told ...... dont watch the live action -_- m. Night shamalyn should kill himself now
great one of my favorite shows ever ive seen every episode atleast 5 times

eh, it was just sort of mediocre. If you like'd this, you should really check out trigun.
One of the first anime i ever watched and it still stands up as one of the best
121.
This is a show about mercenaries. Not "kid's" anime. Lots of humanity packed into this show, both good and bad. It is easy to become attached to the characters. Seriously, this show belongs in the Top 10 easily.
Comments:
this one is awesome!!!......if u love one piece you will love this.
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!!

this was the most messed up hentai EVER but it had an interesting storyline... I mean all the classic characters more messed up then in the original...

Comments:
This show should be way up there. The ending was kinda crappy but sort of cool looking. This one is one of my favorite anime ever. Guts and Griffith are two of my favorite anime characters ever. I loved the music in it and the blood.
Really is an awesome anime. You can't help but feel despair at the strength of the espada in the hueco mundo series, and think that Ulquirroa was so strong at only no.4, it almost seemed unreasonable...but they managed to pull it off yeah? ;)
I agree with everyone. Underseen and underated. An AMAZING story, but I have to say that it's incredibly dark, violent, and disturbing. The ending is shocking to say the least with a hell of a cliffhanger that is never resolved unless you read the manga. one of my all time faves though.
for god's sake this has to be be on the top 3.... come on ! even if the story bothering at the end it's really fantastic !! IF YOU DIDN'T WATCH IT YOU HAVE TO
I dont agree that its like 300 in any way...Its a suberb anime, has its action, but that not the most compeling part of it. The character development is one of the best i ve ever seen. I would recomend to everyone this one.
Magnificent anime, with a great soundtrack, should be at least in top 10, too bad that it's just a prologue of the manga :/
Read the manga. The anime is still my favourite but it is the best manga i have ever read. i can't recommend it enough!
not for the faint hearted or young however as it is very violent and features rape and torture. Also they are remaking it i don't know if anyone has seen the short clips on youtube? Looks ace
Its builds up on awesomeness to leave you with the biggest cliffhanger in the history of humanity...
I was sad there was no season 2. I mean its like they started half way through season 2 then just never did a second season.
i don't think it's anything like the movie 300.
this one should be in the top 3 with death note and geass. it's not about violence and gore for it's own sake. it has one of the deepest, most compelling stories you've ever seen.
unfortunately the animation quality is not up there with bebop and geass, but it is still good.
if you want a deep story that will touch you, watch berserk, you won't regret it.
The plot is great and the characters are well developed. The animation is not very good and only the first part of the manga has been adapted so you're left in the middle of something, it bothers me.

One of the best anime I've ever seen. Its a crime to me this didn't get a second season.

This should be way higher the action scenes and the power development are amazing
Wow, this should be way higher. This epic anime got me into anime to begin with
i read the manga as well as watch the anime. this is a great example of how anime should be mostly because now days animes only show a pervert side. that that i really mind but still some are way tooo pervert to be honest.
how the hell is yuyu hakusho so low it is 1 of the best anime ever created u cant beat a spirit gun!!
This is one of those epic animes that will stay with you forever. After I finished watching it, I got one of those feelings in my stomach like another chapter of my life had been completed. Absolutely the best anime ever created in my opinion, followed by fullmetal alchemist and death note.
It's definitely a great anime. You guys should try watch it! hopefully you won't regret it :3
WTF is this doing as number 89? Best anime ever! Everything about it was great, and the ending was perfect.
i just watched this whole series like a month ago and its my 4th favorite anime
These ratings are messed up, 71, 72, and 73 should all be top 10
Great anime! so awesome!....gets a little dry in the middle, but comes together so well
Three seasons of epic awesomeness. Good way to ruin a week and a half being completely sucked into it.
By the author of DBZ, it's better that dragon ball for me.

ONE OF THE BEST ANIME !!!!!!!!!!! TSURUGA REN AND FUWA SHO ARE SUPER H...O...T...
I believe they are making a season 2 for this still in the working stages, but if not the manga continues on too. This anime was very relaxing and fun to watch about a girl who wants to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend, whos actually a rising star. So she decides that she's gonna bust into the stardom industry and try to outshine him, to make him regret all the things hes done.
i totally agree! they should have made another season for this one. im still hoping though
OMG THIS ANIME IS THE BEST
i think it should be number one =]]
man i hope they have a season 2 since they have it for the manga.
Screw you all, this is on my top ten. Not much for action but the story and characters will throw you for a loop
Must Watch!
This anime is way different then others
watch a few then decide if you like it!
Best plot!

This is the anime that got me into watching animes. Before I started watching the show, I used to make fun of people who watch animes. But then one night I got super baked and it happened to come on my tv and my mind was blown. I love everything about it, the animation, the concept, the plot, the comedy and the dirtiest scumbag of a villian in Naraku. Should be MUCH higher.
This is my most fav anime at the moment it's a really good but kick anime I've ever watched this should at least be number 5 i I mean come on if you don't like this anime your insane the whole slaying demons, the love story, and don't get me started on the quest for the sacred jewel. I highly recommend this epic anime and if you don't like it again you are in lnsane. Watch it
This should have a higher rank! One of the best animes ever! :D
One kick ass anime, and personally, i think it should have been higher. The anime is good and so is the plot but i think there should be more in there about kagome and inuyasha and less on the love triangle and a lil too much useless violence. Yes, i love action romances but this one was a lil too...out of balence, one of them was almost always hurt physicly or verbally, and i wish at the end of the anime they would have shown more love for eachother. All in all though it was a good action romance comedy anime with cute characters and its not too light or heavy. 200+ episodes and 4 movies, making a 5th. SPOILER!!!!! There are whispers going around that in the 5th movie inuyasha get kagome pregnate in his human form and she is trying to tell him when his brother shows up (kagome in the 5th movie calls seshomaru, who is inuyashas older, full demon brother, big brother and the first time she called him that he blushed! Hee!) and interupts her while he battles his lil bro again, motally wounding inuyasha and kagome goes back home and doesnt return for several weeks. Once inuyasha awakens and asks how long he had been under they tell him two weeks and he immedietly asks where kagome is and they tell him the truth. When he hears this he rushes out and into the well only to find once he gets to the other side that kagome no long lives there and all traces of her are gone except a small stuffed animalwhitch inuyasha keeps as he goes back and tells everyone he wont be back for a long time, going to look for kagome. Afterwords he jumps back into kagomes world and serches for her for years. To make a long stary straight he found her in a house with her brother in san antonio and she threwherself into his arms crying like a baby and they she brings him into the house and into a room where she shows him a baby boy with black hair and a set of soft black ears. i dont know what happens after that, i know this because i have a cousin in japan who works in the anime bussiness. =-)
Jeeeez! I like this but im not satisfied with the romance between kagume and inusyaha! seems like Inuyasha was really drawn to Kikyo and since she died, he turned to kagume who was hurting knowing that Kikyo is inuyasha's greatest love. Inuyasha would always go to kikyo just by hearing or sensing she's nearby taking for granted kagume! How i wish kagume fell for someone, like inuyasha's super handsome brother perhaps and make inuyasha jealous so that i would know how much he loved Kagume! I would be happy if it would be kagume and inuyasha's brother. I feel sorry for kagume... and it ends without me knowing if inuyasha truly loved kagume or how much he cared for her...
my fave tv show heheheeh he is a dog-demon which is so cool i love him!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love this anime i got to say it supper good, it still one of my favs inyasha is a lot better than a lot of the animes that are on top, but i am a fan of others like elifen lided and death note this is way better than naruto
Inuyasha is so funny and he is romantic, protective,
a good demon, cute person(Demon)
The show is great but i think kagome should be more stronger. She can't let him do all the work(fighting demons).
Good anime
got me and my friends into anime. Its still my favourite.It should have got a better rank :c o well...
It's the FIRST ANIME I've ever watched and the FIRST ANIME that I loved. Go Inuyasha! REALLY, REALLY GOOD and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
In my opinion, the greatest anime series of all-time. Rumiko Takahashi is a genious of masterpieces, along with Maison Ikkuko and Ranma 1/2. Beautiful story, I would recommend it to anyone!!
nice but tooooooooooooo long for the idea... seriously i completed the series by fast forwarding
Absolutely love it! this is the anime that got me hooked, seriously this was the first anime that i ever saw and i've been reading and watching ever since!
ahaha this anime.. I remember watching in on TV on a kids network and I saw a nude scene on live television rofl. It was when Kagome and that other girl were in the hotsprings and inyuasha went to check on Kagome and she got up and I saw it (i was a kid back then, say 8-9?) and I was like "I can't believe it"
Honestly, its a waste of time to watch this. Not because of the storyline, thats actually ok. But the ending of this is rushed and leaves many of the different plot lines unresolved. Now for a good anime that's a trade off, but this anime requires a big time investment to say the least.
WHAT? I searched this crappy list just to find this anime and it's currently 34 how could this happen? This show represents everything anime stands for!!!!!!!!
who ever does not like this one does not like anime.... just saying
This got me into anime when i first started whatching this, its a good series with a fair bit of action, humor and romances and the characters are great and likeable, however, they dragged it on for too long so i never finishes watching it.
it gt me into anime long ago and i loved it, now that i look back and notice that this anime sucks...
I loved it years ago but had to stop watching. I got back into it a year ago and it kind of sucks when your older but as a child it was amazing. It also got me into anime and now I`m hooked.
Was a long time since I saw this and I haven't seen much final act.
Inuyasha was initially really good and got me hooked. But they kept dragging out on it, it just kept starting over and over again.
They should have finnished off that annoying villan a long time ago and moved on to something new.
In the few episodes of final act that I have seen, it feels like they are in a rush to finnish it up.
I agree with this ranking for the first 2 seasons, after that it was the same thing over and over
Its romantic, funny (especially Miroku), action-packed, and well worth the time you spend watching it. If anything, this anime should be first....... but idk.
my opinion: Inuyasha is pretty much the best anime when it comes to fairy tales and creativity. All the girls are HOT, which is another up. Got me addicted to anime!!!
It is not so bad but it is not so popular among older audience. The reason it is 7 is because it is popular among kids and woman teenagers. I also got into anime because of this; that was 5 years ago. Now i know that sometimes i get bored when i watch this series.

you should read or watch the anime to at least vote the points. I believe (my opinion) that it is one of the best anime I've ever watched and I'd like to ask why there is no more anime episodes? I mean I read the manga and it still has 2 arcs left but it is not going to continue (from my point of view) for no apparent reason that was not said so. I am not sure if the problem was the budget or the business or the author but I'm sure that this anime and/or manga is amazing.
It Will Be Back After The Manga Will further Episodes !! KHR Fans Dont Worry !! ^^
You know, the trick in KHR is to finish 'til the last. You got to see the events and battles that transpired in the later episodes. You could really see the development of the character. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I even wondered why it's only in the 64th. THIS RANKING GIVES NO JUSTICE!
Reborn is really good, good plot and character development, though it tends to get really cliched and predictable at times... starts off really slow, as most shounen animes do, but picks up after a while. Effects and soundtrack are pretty so-so, and comes across as an anime for pre-teens sometimes, but the story's interesting enough to keep you watching.
yeah everyone is right.. it should be in top 10!!
the best butt-kicking comedy anime of the year!
it should be in top 5... too bad they didn't finish the whole story.... they finished it with byakuran
^^ actuall ppl did die just not grusumly(srry didnt know how to spell it) u just see ppl and blood
your wrong^ This is definetly the best ever :] its about a boy named Tsuna and how he's going to become a 10thgen mafia boss ^^ it starts off slow and his personality is pretty weak but its never boring and keeps you guessing constantly! :D all the evil characters are amazingly evil and cool 8) the only thing it lacks is Gore and Death, its about the Mafia but nobody dies bloodily or dies at all xD still, A NUMBER ONE!!!!
Reborn is one of the best anime i've ever watched. I don't understand why its on number 79
Why is this not first? Because I swear, this is the BEST anime I have ever watched. Seriously.
best anime out, starts off slow but once it picks up ull never back out. although this isnt one of those elfen lied nude animes

it has an amazing story line if you were to both seasons it would be like
no other anime, trust me i have seen alot of animes but nothing this..
this amazing. superb 10/10
Comments:
this anime is the best anime ever! its scary, has torture, and leaves you on the edge of your seat every episode
My favorite anime of all time and i've seen over 150 anime starting from classics, poppulars and unknown ones. Maybe one of the most underated and underseen anime out there. HOWEVER you must watch the complete show, season 1 and 2, if you want to understand the whole plot. Try beeing the detecdive and understand the story before it's reveal. I've never been able to find something similar beside umineko no naku koro, another anime that share some similarities and links... A must try at least.
My favourite Anime! 11/10, 5 stars! freaky as hell intricate plot, twists, blood, gore, comedy, deep psychotic characters, beautiful use of colour and good animation. What more could I/ you ask for??
This is acrually one of the best anime ever. Great story plot. I haven't seen season 2 myself, but just seeing season 1 gives me chills. I can never watch this alone especially when it's night time already - OKAY, I know this show is way better if you guys watch it at night because the story is really intense, boo for the animation, but you won't mind it after wards. I don't know. I swear I gotta recommend this to all people who likes mystery and blood. A 9.5/10
this anime is overlooked alot, and it's the one one i end up recommending the most to ppl. it's definitely in my top 10
One of my all time favorite anime series. Mysterious, creepy, and scary. very suspenseful and climatic. Phychotic paranoia and horror! With a hautedly beautiful soundtract. Leaves you with "WHAT GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!" feeling. At times it can SEEM kinda childish but that's what makes it ever more creepy.
higurashi was a very torture anime it was very scary I LOVE IT..............................

It is such a great anime! I LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT! But why the hell did it have to end in such a bad way? T-T
Lenalee destroys this great anime. I was forced to quit watching this because of her. Enough said.
I loved the show, very awesome but i didn't like the ending. I also wished that they would continue it.
They never killed the earl and lina lee and allen never made out to me worst ending ever but thats my opinion, otherwise all the friendship stuff, action storyline (MAGNIFECENT) :3
it stopped at 103 cause the writer broke her wrist (And it was getting too close to the manga, so it worked out for stopping lol). I beleive she started writing again and has been releasing like... 1 episode or something per month since like december (releasing mangas btw, not anime).
although this anime wasn't about romance like the ones i usually watch, it is a really heart warming anime with a lot of action comedy and supernatural things. highly recommended.
I tried to watch it, well it's just one of this annoying combat amine with no character developpement and no realism what so ever.
love this anime...hope it has a season 3....want to watch more episodes..
Loved it, 1st anime that made got me interested in the rest, Great characters (Noahs Tykki, Road Debitto :D), Great storyline, good animation and battle scenes though a few fillers, but y did it end at ep 103 T___T so sad
Completely overwhelming story from start to end. Similar situation as in FMA but alot more compelling and extensive. Extensive to a degree that....yeah, its still not complete alongside the manga. :/ Watch if you liked FMA or even if you didnt!
Still haven't gotten around to finishing it, but damn good anime. If I can just figure out what episode I stopped on....
Definatly one of my favourite animes.Got me completly hooked and had me watching 10+ episodes a day.

Saddens me to see it ranked at 67, it's excellent anime if you want bit of everything and the strawberries.
Detective Conan is one of these animes (it's probably the only anime of a kind if you don't include Kindaichi case files.) that just build up suspense until you start sweating for what happens next.
Also doesn't have the most used, extremely annoying cliches.
Has Extreme moments. Doesn't drag out anything, fillers are good and they don't have any arcs.
Not meant for people who don't love mystery or when there's nothing alike other animes..
One of the best!
I totally LOVE this Anime/Manga. Although I don't particularly like romance, i love this anime as the romance and the character's daily lives are intertwined with all the cases, and the characters are soooo freakin awesome.
The best anime, great characters, great story development, battle with the main antagonist is just epic, and the masterthief kaito kid is perfect!
you shouldn't care about fillers, cases are enyoable to watch, fillers make main antagonist mysterious because of their rarely appearances. However this anime has a lot of great actions, mysterious and romantic relationships.The main antagonist has a few rivals in series. In Japan it has more than 600 episodes, 15 movies, 11 OVA, 3 live drama, many video games, and other things...Detective Conan is one of the most successful and most popular animes in Japan and in the world. In solding mangas in Japan conan beated bleach, naruto death note, inuyasha, black cat and was very close to dragon ball and one piece.
I love this anime so much :). the adult version of scooby doo lol. needs to be higher.
What the heck is this doing at only 45???!!! Dude! I don't understand this!
As if this didn't make at least top 20. This show is pure epicness for those who like mysteries, romance and comedy at the same time. The anime has really started to pick up the pace lately, and the movies are pretty good as well.
Btw it's 600+ eps and 14 movies.
I'm a little sad this only made 37. This is a great show, although Inuyasha started me out on anime, I love this show so much better. But then again I love mysteries. And Conan is soo cute, but I wish they would turn him back adult already lol
for those who don't know what this show is about, Jimmy Kudo is a teenage detective who gets poisoned which turns his body into a kid. He then solves mysteries with his crush Rachel, and her dad. This show has almost 600 episodes (still making them) and I believe 4 movies, possibly. Anyway, good show :)

The anime was ok and then Kamina died. There is absolutely no reason to watch this anime past that point.
ranked as 69.
I can't tell if it's just meant to be or if the rank is bad.
I love this Anime! Sure i love DtB, Elfen Lied and Death note too but Gurren Lagann should be in the top 10! :)
should be a bit higher in the list. I saw the first episodes on syfy and spent the next few days in my room youtubing the rest. I came out a man, a man with the wisdom needed to carry on with my life being the best that i can be. back on subject: first season was indeed better. but at the end of the series I realized this is not and epic adventure its a epic tragedy, in the sense that most characters died and no1 actually had a happy ending
this should be in the top 10, it was one of the best animes i have ever seen. The end of the first season made me lust for more. The second season wasnt as good though...
"you dont watch gurren lagann, you experience it." -some random youtube commenter
Its very MANLY. It should be.. I don't know, at least number 7...
This was a great anime that kept me hoked on it for days. Number the second series isn't as good D:
This should be number 16 at least. The mainstream is totally awesome and the soundtrack is amazing for sure.
Difficult to describe, it start in a world where humans can no longer live on the surface and have been driven underground. A bunch of moron (yeah morons) try to change this situation. It’s actually quite good.
I never got to see this anime when it show up in dance dance revolution X.

obviously i didnt create this list because this would be in the tops this anime had the sexiest cast that brought the emotion to the anime captivating the audience anyone who has seen it probably has shed a tear and anyone that says otherwise is lying!
the best ever anime..!!!i love it.. ilove the asuran and cagali pair...this should be in the 10th place anime not in the 67th place..
This was the first anime that I ever watched for eight hours straight, the characters are not only hot. But the anime incorporates just the right amount of romance, with plenty of action. This anime made me cry, and cheer at the same time. EXCELLENT.
My favourite anime series(s) of all time. I don't usually cry that easily when it comes to animes but GS/GSD got me bawling for a few episodes. Personally, if i had to pick, I still prefer GS.
Objectively, it was a story of the errors of war and racism from the viewpoint of two teenagers that had once been friends, but wound up on opposite sides of the conflict. Both seasons were almost identical. The animation was incredibly, and I mean incredibly repetitive. You'd think it's a decently lengthed anime, but it's filled with recap episodes. Filled with them. You'll see the same scenes...hundreds of times, I promise. The plotlines have solutions so obvious that it's maddening. For these reasons, I did not like this anime. I gave it a chance by watching the entire thing.

Loved it! It is definantly in my top 5 along with d. gray man.(Haven't seen it? You neeeeeeeeeeed to watch it)
favorite anime i have ever watched (and i have watched over 1200 episodes worth of anime no joke)
absolutely loved this anime, one of my all time favorites. adored the main character, hope there will be some more episodes
great anime, emotional and has great music. It;s a shounen too!
really goood anime deamon sword and exorsit all together in one guy realy nice
137.
Hands down this show accomplished more in 6 episodes than most do throughout entire seasons. Aliens, hints of hentai, comedy, a hot chick on a motorcycle, arson, intergalactic battle involving a 6th grader, and robots that grow out of foreheads. Need I say more?

Picture it like this. You're crush ever since you were a kid loves your best friend. You're skulking about it during free period when you notice something at the gates. Some teachers go to investigate only to return as the bloodthirsty undead. An hour later you've barricaded on the roof of the school with you're crush and you're best friend (who's been bitten). His dying wish is to be killed before he turns, while the rest of the school has already become undead. You hesitate because of the crying of your crush, only to have your best friend change right in front of you. You bash his head with your baseball bat. Looks like god has given you a second chance, let's see if you can keep her alive. End of Episode 1.

I recommend H.O.T.D by far. The plot is amazing. It should be at least in the top 5-10. In this Anime we can have: Action, Horror, Suspense, Ecchi (18+ scenes) but it still one of the best. I RECOMMEND IT
this is by far the best anime i have ever seen this should be ranked #1
zombies. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing zombie anime and the characters were awesome too, should have been carried on.ended really quick
Best anime! Watch it and you'll love it! Zombies and boobs are here to stay!!!
This ones deserves to be in top 10 i mean it!!!!!!
You should totaly watch this anime!!!!
One of the Best horror Anime I ever seen, keeps u engaged and wanting more. Awesome ^__^

Gintama is actually really funny, it's heartwarming but in a very tongue-in-cheek way. Really entertaining - you really get attached to the characters.
Comments:
Gintama deserves better -.- This is by far the best in comedy. I agree that this anime isn't the best because there isn't much of a story line but this show makes you laugh at their puns. By the way, this anime's worst joke is probably better than other anime's best.
i love anime that can make fun of itself it is probably the funniest anime i have ever watched even if it doesn't have a distinct story
why the heck has gintama has gone down to 92?
who the heck is voting gintama down
I have seen a lot worse anime being higher than gintama on the list
awesome anime
such great anime is so down in list it is heartbreaking :(
but only few can understand the value of this anime
and action scene are mind blowing
Ah, this sucks. Why is it so far down? Its not like naruto and bleach, its different. Its truly the best anime ive ever seen, and i have watched naruto and bleach and such. >3<
"Let's say you drink too much strawberry milk, and have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.
But it's cold outside of your bed.
You don't want to get up, but the urge to urinate is just too strong!
You make up your mind to go!
You run to the bathroom, stand in front of the toilet, and let loose!
You think that all your life has lead to this moment!
But then you realize!
It isn't the bathoom! You're still in bed!
That feeling of lukewarm wetness spreads like wildfire!
But you don't stop! You can't stop!
That's what i'm talking about!
That's the truth of strawberry milk!"
hahaha I couldn't stop laughing at that omgggg
Best comedy/parody anime ever..........a must watch for those looking for a really big laugh...hahahaha
sorry but do u lake humor ???? gintama is most epic and funny's anime EVER !!!
Me too, I disagree. Yes, it might have no real story behind it but that's comedy anime is all about, full of parody, laughs, stupidity, lessons...that's what makes a comedy anime and Gintama's got them all and they're good at it. If I were the one ranking, it's gonna be between the top 20s
No doubt about it. Gintama is the best anime out there. How come it's only got 2 points?.....
The world is going downhill i tell ya..
Agree !!! Why gintama is no.61 ??!!!
It's the funnist anime i've ever seen n the action part is really good too !!! The sound effect during the fighting is really good...cant stop watching it...
should be in at least no.10...
Why is Gintama the 72?? they have to be 1et best anime in the world -_-

Comments:
how is this show ranked so low who ever made this list is retarded yea the ending wasn't completed but their remaking it the fights and strategy in this show are as good as narutosometimes even better if you like naruto you will love this show
this anime is great! but its better to add more episodes, much better if this anime will continue its episodes. i'd like to see what will happen next after gon and his father met.
woww...i cant believe this isnt higher. Incredible anime, TERRIBLE ending, very vague, and it continues in the manga, but guess what, its on HIATUS! lol great anime though, great characters, solid fighting and techniques, interesting story.

this is the anime that got me into every other anime series that i currently watch...which is alot...;) this series is awesome!
Comments:
guys yugioh is the king of games and animes .please tell other sites to make it top 5.this is awesome.i cannot tell it in words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yu Gi Oh, the ''american vnersion sucks!!' if you watch yu gi oh the Japanese version it's waaay better!!!!! They are not only talking about those stupid card games They are talking about shadow games it's really interesting
This Show was bad ass and awesome, Way better then when it changed to GX or 5D's Yami Yugi was awesome.
the card games are boring....... but the characters are awesome and OMFG you just can't diss Yugi/Yami's hair!! ^_^
have to say the old/original episodes are best, and the abridged series on youtube!!! epicness

this is probably the best romance anime ever made, usui is soooooooooooooooooo cool and misaki rocks too!
This is the best romantic comedy anime series i have ever watched! Usui is just too cool and handsome! I am waiting for the season 2..seems like romantic comedies ranked low compared to those with actions! and hey where is the skip beat?
Without a doubt one of the best animes I've ever watched. The characters are structures and the story line is HILARIOUS. Although it is mainly an anime aimed at teenage girls. Its still a great anime to try.

Comments:
To be only 50(or so) episodes, the character and plot development is pretty good. I love the animation. The villains are very interesting and well defined as well. While I wish more had happened between two certain villians and Saya, I was satisfied overall with the ending. If you watch through the credits at the end of the last episode you will not be left with such a "cliffhanger" effect with the series ending.
My favorite anime series. By a looong shot.
Takes you 3-4 episodes to get started, but once it gets going its going to pull you to the end and leave you wishing for more. Good series, good start, good midway, great ending. Woop woop!
This series was AWEFUL!
I couldn't wait to finish it.
The way it was drawn to the poor voice over.
There were so many plot holes with this one.
For a less than 60 episode anime, Blood+ hands down has the best character development of any anime out there. It draws you in and gets you attached to the characters so well. Definitely should be rated higher than ones like Naruto and bleach.
Does anyone know if this anime continues. Or is it just supposed to have an open ending?
great story...cant help but to watch till the end.... it should be on top 10...
I agree, should be higher up. VERY good anime.
A must. You just have to watch this
This show has one of the best opening music!!!
Its reaally good but a bit long I guess.
Best anime ever. Ever. And I have seen just about every anime out there (I do anime reviews for fun) This should be in at least the top 15.
Severely underrated. Deserves to be much higher than this. Top 20 at least.
the best anime anime I have ever seen.It describes the eternal truth that some one would not be caught for ever and that whoever first laughs must weep sometime.
Totally amazing, should be higher! The characters might be annoying at times but the fighting is kick ass and realistic. The story is also really good and the badguys are just hilariously good, though quite phsyco (Sp?) its one ofmy top ten for sure!

Hikari Hanazono has always been second to Kei Takishima. When they were six years old, their pro-wrestling loving fathers introduced them to each other. Assuming that she was the best in wrestling, young Hikari challenged Kei to a wrestling match only to be thoroughly defeated by him. Ever since that fateful incident, Hikari swore to beat Kei in school grades, sporting events or any competition. To do this, she has enrolled in the same school as Kei since elementary. Now she attends Hakusenkan, an ultra elite school, that costs her carpenter father a lot of money. Hikari and Kei are the top two students in the school, with Kei holding firmly to that number one position. While Hikari considers Kei to be a rival and important friend, she is completely unaware that Kei is in love with her. The story primarily focuses on Hikari and her constant attempts to defeat her one and only rival, Kei, and how she finds love in their rivalry.
Comments:
I actually dropped this anime....its really generic and unlovable. I can't see why it is even listed here.
Really cute. Lots of kawaii moments! There's lots of things in here that made me laugh.
wahhhhh.... i love this show... it really reminds me of my high school days... :)) i wish they did not make it a love story but rather, a more teenage story that will show how they face problems and challenges in life especially the people who are challenging and trying to remove their title as SA..

sailor moon was the beginning of magical girls-fight-evil storyline, and it is the mother of them, it is not the best, and it took me almost a year to finish all 200 episodes, 3 movies and specials, but this is what got me into anime. BTW new sailor moon anime in summer 2013!
one of the classics... and one of my best anime of all time... the anime that I grew up with and the reason for me to watch animes... hahaha... i really love and miss this show... :))
it's almost poetic to have such a classic anime on this list boring at times, but this anime holds a special place in anime history[no matter if there are cooler anime out there]
i agree it went global along with pokemon, yu gi oh, and dragon ball z, how many other are as well known as that o.0
This is amazing, but it brings me down that is only 84. really, half of the stuff on here no one knows. And sailor moon went global? not a lot of this stuff did. So it should deserve at top 5( :
my fav since i was tiny its old its predictable yes its repetative but so are a lot of the greats :D
the greatest in my opinion ... maybe second only to Pokemon !
A classic but too many episodes to whatch and a lot of them were just filled with crap.
It's a classic yes. But so is power rangers. They're both terrible now. So much better anime now. Please take this off the list. They drew about 10 minutes worth the show. The rest of it is reused animations they had since the very beginning. Lazy artists. LAZY!

If you like lecherous anime this is for you. It's about a ex-gang leader becoming a teacher who students can depend on. Of course he hits on a few chicks, beats people up, and gets drunk along the way.

Hey Hey Hey one second , I dont like to comment on anything even it is excellent -- but this caught my attention -- there is no other anime like this catagory -- If You are a new watcher of anime just start with this anime -- I promise that this is having moral sense.. Truly truthful anime- just a live show -- just like real life -- exactly
in my opinion this was the funniest anime ever,the characteres are well defined.......i watched it twice and i want that they air the next season because manga continues

This is one of the greatest horror mystery animes ever created, but you gotta have balls to watch it! Prepare to be shocked!

too bad no good basketball mangas are being made into anime. . . ie. buzzer beater and basquash are trash. This anime definitely set the tone for basketball anime. If you like sports and determination with a bit of romantic comedy this is for you.

I really wanted to like this anime, it sounds so awesome. I saw the first 20 episodes and just couldn't get into it - it tries to be realistic, but does a terrible job. And Oh My God is it slow! 20 episodes and barely anything happened!
It should be on the 1st place not so down. An anime at least with a great story and absolutely realistic.And its seinen so not 13+ but 18+.Kids would find it boring without fighting scenes.But its full of fight---the fight is in the mind.The best psychological thriller i have ever seen,
i personally found the pace of this anime very slow and could not relate to the characters
Incredible back-stories and plot twists!! But the last episode is GARBAGE
Great storyline made by master Naoki Urasawa, the very same guy that made 20th Century Boys and Master Keaton. If you're not very fond of anime, then read the manga.
A must watch.
Very good anime with lots of revelation and "plot twists" i would recommend to adults and young adults who like thrillers. Very well built characters.
P.S= I do consider Death note to be my 2nd best anime (only season 1), and Code Geass as my 3rd greatest (both seasons).
P.S= This is an additonal comment, to the one posted above this.
Not a childish anime (as they wouldn't understand), barly any foul language. Superb Anime, Its a deffinte watch, It definitely beats Code Geass and Death note from an adults perspective. I mean Code Geass/ Death note for under 18s then yeah, they will like that for sure. This anime suited for 18+ who will definitely like this, and consider to be their number 1 anime!!!
NO NUDITY!!! TOO GREAT OF AN ANIME FOR THAT CHILDISH NONSENSE, TO MAKE IT MORE APPEALING, AS IT ALREADY IS.
Greatest anime of all time!!!

Many, many people love this anime, as it is a work of genius.
Give the first 15 episodes a try, if you still don't like it then you can stop.
Recommended for 13 years+. This is because this story line, younger children may not understand, so they won't be able to fully grasp the excellence of this anime (contains violence as well, including blood, but no foul language).

One of the best (if not the best) sports anime about a high school student who becomes a boxer.
Plot - Makunouchi Ippo is a timid high schooler who helps out in his family's fishing business. Because of this, he doesn't have enough time to hang out with friends and also gets bullied often. At one time, a professional boxer named Mamoru Takamura saves him from a group of bullies. Seeing that Ippo was unconscious, Takamura takes him back to his boxing gym, where Ippo gets sucked into the world of boxing.

the best anime!!! I have seen 1/3 of the list but hajime no ippo inspired me so much that i end up doing box :D a must see ....there are 3 seasons!!!the 3rd now started..but i prefer mangas...now it is in 1034 :D
I loved this anime but 4 some reason i could only watch 75 episodes i got p..... off at the last episode it was him vs rocky. It made me so made i sat in front of my cump 4 hours. This is the ending i got. i mean what happened to ippo and kumi. Come on that ending sucked.
This got me into anime. This deserves a chance, I'd definitely put it in my top 5.
THE BEST ANIME I HAVE EVER SEEN , I RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE --- I think it can reach top 5 . Worth it give it a try :)

own the first dvd set ever to come out and am proud of it (space is my home) : )
My fave anime ever. I agree that it's like cowboy beebop, but much lighter. It also has some of the most bad ass female characters ever. (Hilda and Twilight Sasuka). Great story, great characters, and great action. Everything I want in an anime.
This is my favorite series because it had an epic story, great characters, an air of mystery about it that was actually resolved in the end (unlike many others) and the pacing was really good. I personally think it's better than cowboy bebop. The show has more depth, in my opinion, and is completely underrated.
Really close of cowboy bebop but not as good. Still it's a nice anime to watch.

this was a really good anime if I say so myself. It's about a game called "The World" and there is one character that's stuck in the game and has no memories of his past and the world basically becomes his reality and charges in with his friends on a quest to save him from his treacherous fate trying to find a item in the game that overwrites the game data called "The Twilight Bracelet" with the possible power to free him of this fate. In this story there is also a character named aura who is on a bed for most of the season. I have to say that this anime has been implanted into my brain. I give it 10 Woopy Goldbergs XD
really strange, i remember watching this on TV and each episode was different from the previous. Well Its about this game that people can go into (like the matrix) except the main characters mind is permanently stuck in the game somehow? I don't know really, only watched like 7-9 episodes. Please someone clarify.
I love this anime, i would think it deserves a much higher ranking! It's beautiful, hilarious and captivating. It leaves you wanting to know more about the world...

Excellent show. Depth of storyline, rich characters, varied subplots, excellent animation and voices (English version).
Full Metal Alchemist is not just one of the best animated series I've ever watched, it's one of the best shows I have ever watched, period. I can't believe no one else has put this up here.

I Love This anime it got me into Anime. It made me cry in the inside for days. BUT WHAT ABOUT SEASON 3!! I NEED TO KNOW WHO ENDS UP WITH WHO!!
A hilarious anime and one of the best in its genre. Rich characters, compelling setting and a guarantee for lots of laughs. Season 1 is a must-see. Deserves to be in top 20.
I don't think it was an amazing anime, but it was pretty good. I had a lot of laughs.
I thought this anime was great. It's not for anyone looking for a ton of action, but it will keep you laughing every episode, and it might remind you of your middle school romances more than a little.
What the...this deserves to go waaaay at the bottom. Not even comparable to other animes. =\
nah...i watched it and it kinda sucks compared to the ones higher up...it grovels at their feet
I'm surprised this anime is so low ranked here, it's ranked in top 10 on others sites and I agree with them, its so freakin funny :D

An anime parody about the World. Aslo in the WW2. The anime is based on a web manga. The Story is about the World History in the Second World War. Germany, Italy and Japan fight against the allies (USA, France, England, Russia etc.). A very funny method to learn the history of some countrys.

By the maker of trigun - this is the best anime ive ever seen 50 times underrated this is a classic
The first 2/3 or so of this anime is a masterpiece. A gripping crime drama. After that it devolves into a rather generic supernatural/fighting anime, but the ending is very good.
Don't watch gungrave! biggest waste of your life. Picture it, your in love with the same person since you were a kid, then your finally an adult, and some 80 year old perv marries the love of your life and has a baby with her. Personally this anime pissed me off. and guess what, main character never finds love!
Great story but simple story about revenge, character development was great you see how they all wanted to be great but became demon like monsters as the result its like kill bill with a back story I reccomend it.
This is the first comment i have ever posted about anything on the internet, but it was important enough for me to let the world over know this is the best anime for a multitude of reasons. I don't know how it beat cowboy bebop(never did silver medal look so gold) but it did. finished it last night

to the people who haven't seen/read this, you are missing the anime of a lifetime. its the bestest most romantic and sad anime i have ever seen, it kept me hooked up untill i finished it. its the best, # 1 anime ever, its about this cute girl (nanami) who falls in love with the cutest guy in school (yano) however they face problems once they start dating, especially because of yanos expierence with his last girlfriend, who died in a car crash with another guy. but its the best because you can really feel how deep the characters are hurt and how deep they are in love . i love love love it so much
ps sorry for talking alot. lol :)
Comments:
This anime is extremely similar to "Kimi ni Todoke" which I reccomend to those who have watched "Bokura Ga Ita". Anyways I found this anime very romantic and relaxing. If you don't like the theme of love than you shouldn't watch it. Me being a hopeless romantic definitely enjoyed this series.

It's a new series and it is becoming popular. There are 12 episodes currently in Tokyo Ghou, the latest episode was released on March 26,2015. I am a large fan of Anime and manga, this series was amazing and a lot of people are going to love it.

Rozen Maiden (ローゼンメイデン?) is a manga series created by Peach-Pit. The story centers on Jun Sakurada, a young hikikomori boy that forms a bond with Shinku, a living doll of the "Rozen Maiden" series, who was created by the mysterious dollmaker Rozen hundreds of years ago. The series examines the living habits and personality of each of the Rozen Maidens whom Jun encounters, as well as their quest to become the perfect girl, named "Alice". (Copied from Wikipedia)
Rozen Maiden is one of the best animes of all time. It has action, violence, horror, romance, and many other themes. I can't believe it wasn't on the list before!
Comments:
Basically i recommend this anime. Why? :D Because it actually rids the phobia of dolls for some people and it is funny in some episodes. ^^
