Greatest Anime of All Time

Dragon Ballz is the best. Is the father of all manga anime. If Dragon ballz wasn't exist Naruto and the others also wasn't exist. The nine tails fox is a copy by the giant monkey from Dragon Ballz

No show reinvented a genre like DBZ. They showed that fast paced action was awesome. But, its best aspect was its characters which were awesome. They fought from Radditz all the way to Omega Shenron. Best series ever and a memory of my childhood

this anime is the best and deserves champion. and the guy down there "hokagesusuke" knows nothin about dbz don't listen to him he's just talk.
really epic anime and nothing wouldve been even possible if it werent for dbz

its awesome never, beatable its is in top 3s
its perfect for all ages
eps are more interesting then manga

A good storyline, good fights and, as someone said before, it explains what happened to all the characters, unlike Bleach, where they really forgot about Ashido, Nelliel and Kuukaku.

Naruto is the new standard of a realistic fantasy!
Exaggeration is minimal.
And there's always explanation for everything...

One piece is the best anime I'd watch ever because of unique story. I'm amaze on the writer who did this story.. Incredible imagination. How he did this?.. Huh.. Thumbs up.. For this.. It delivered to the audience a funny trek and more than that a true friendship and dreams occur in this story..

The best because of the great story, the many great characters and their background, the epic scenes, the combination of funny and serious and the imagination of Oda. Simply the best

I just can't believe one piece doesn't at least have the number two spot! One piece is like the most epic anime I have ever watched(I've seen a lot of animes. ) Oda Sensei is an amazing story teller and has kept me interested in one piece up the current chapters that now number over 600. Yeah, the art may take a little getting used to, but it gets better along the way. Plus, it's more refreshing because it's different from a lot of other shows. I got to admit, the characters are awesome and the fights are just amazing. Anyone who says they don't like one piece obviously hasn't seen up to Sky Island Arc, Water 7 Arc, Impel Down Arc, MarineFord War Arc, Fishmen Island Arc, etc. Seriously, don't let the length of the anime and manga stop you getting into one piece because you won't regret a single moment of watching or reading one piece.

Best anime ever!
Let's put it in first place!
It the most amazing anime I've ever seen.

Death note is an epic, intense masterpiece, an unforgettable adventure. The plot is enthralling and the characters realistic and three dimensional.

death note is the best anime I have ever seen... perfect story and every episode makes you want to see the next one. deserve more than the 3rd place.

Kenpachi could probably kill Chuck Norris and he hasn't even released his bankai yet.

Also, Gin and Toshiro are on this show.

Reason enough.

This is the most amazing show ever. It's made me laugh, cry, and kept me at the edge of my seat. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Great Characters, Great storylines, intense action. An excellent Anime, highly recommended.

the ending... THE ENDING...
Code Geass is death note mecha no anime can even challenge it

It was everything Deathnote was except even smarter. It always kept you guessing and you never knew what was going to happen. It was so great I cried at the end, because how could it be over. It was a ride that I never wanted to get off. It is Hands down my favorite anime.

Smart, dark and captivating. Simply could not stop watching. I hate when no one ever dies in a anime. In this one, you're trying to figure out who is going to survive. Unbelievably great.

It is really really awesome
Fma rocks the story is great and the character also I don't know why it is in seventh position it deserves 2 or 3 position because it is the most popular anime ever from 2003 to 2009 it was very popular but because of some anime series

By far the best anime. Anime's should not be assessed on how strong the characters are. So far, that's all that has been shown. Full Metal Alchemist has an amazing plot, with a blend of action and adventure, with emotions. Full Metal Alchemist is a fairly short Anime series (compared to the ones above), yet has sensational character development. It also hurts to see people critiquing this series without watching it, because I can guarantee you, that if you see this whole anime, there is no way you can say it is substandard in any way.

It's a anime for mature people, great mixture of action and feelings. The history is the best that I've ever seen, very dinamic and aprensive. And it makes you reflex about life sense.
Every person should whatch before die!

The series of evangelion is very complicated. It happens in the future when robots like usually seen in gundam series is being used to destroy their enemies. The pilots are called child Rei Ayanami, Asuka Soryu and Shinji Ikari being the 1st, 2nd and 3rd child. Being popular here is not guarantee that anime is the best but it is more appealing to more readers and viewers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED but beware of controversial scenes that are not suitable for minors

ronluna

This is by far the best anime master piece of all time, excellent characters structure, excelent history, excelent design... Naruto or bleach maybe are very popular, but NGE is legendary and a must be anime reference.

This is the most gound-breaking story ever!
There are some characters that we rarely see in other anime..
And if you watch the rebuild version, I'm sure you'd shock because of the graphic and the story! Gosh, this is awesome!

I would Agree w/ you
It's super awesome and I really2x love it For me it's top 1
Please watch and the story is about
the life of a young boy named Tsunayoshi Sawada, who finds out that he is next in line to become the boss of the most powerful Mafia organization called Vongola, the Vongola Family. As such, the Vongola's most powerful hitman, a gun-toting infant named Reborn, is sent to tutor "Tsuna" on how to become a respectable boss.

Katekyou Hitman Reborn is a story about friendship and how strong it is I really loved it so much

love everything about it!.. the plot.. character.. mixture of the genres... coolness! major2x.. one of a kind

When people were starting to get tired of the Dragon Ball Z phenomena, they had to look for something else, something new, but will still provide the action and excitement Dragon Ball Z has given them. Then comes Yu Yu Hakusho. In our area, as far as I can remember, Yu Yu Hakusho became a household name. Everyone was watching it. Even some unexpected people came out of nowhere acting like they were Toguro and Yusuke. Even my classmate in high-school used to put Yusuke's name as alias in his test papers. And I thought that was just too much. The story is different from Dragon Ball Z and you might also notice the attempt to give it more twist. But I could say that the action and fighting scenes were somewhat patterned from DBZ. Really a great and entertaining show. According to my brother, this is his favorite series of all time. And for the balanced amount of popularity and "how much I liked it", I put it at number 8.

olrak15

Yes, DBZ deserves to be up there; in fact, I made my own list but mine was top 100 and was for all animated television shows. I think I put DBZ at number 3 on my list. With that being said, number 1 on my list was Yu Yu Hakusho. I have never watched a show animated or live-action as compelling and riveting as Yu Yu Hakusho. What an amazing show that's y I think it deserves to be the number 1 anime of all time.

Yu yu hakusho is funny, action packed and exiting. The characters are amazing and nothing I have ever seen or ever will see will make me stop loving this show. I watch it every day and even with friends. We evan watch it in anime club at my school. Everyone loves it. #1 all the way!

Fairy Tail is amazing and is my favourite! It should definitely be number one in the list. I wish that this anime would be more recognized. I discovered it by luck and I love it. I love the bonds everyone shares and how Lucy won't leave her friends' sides even if it would cost her life. It's perfect. It's sad, dramatic, serious, funny, adventurous and includes fighting. Its the full package! If you haven't watched this anime yet I suggest you watch it as soon as possible! It may be an ongoing anime and it might take you too long to watch all the episodes up to date, but it's definitely worth it!

Fairy tail deserves a seat in the front row. Seriously, what is it lacking? A good protagonist, an anticipating plot, and action that doesn't eat away 10 episodes per battle. On top of that it lives up to its comedy genre.

Most anime have very irritating villains who do evil things purely based on the fact that they're evil. Not all the bad guys in Fairy Tail have a silly purpose like that. There's always a little reason why they take such actions. Not all the enemies are complete psychos or just plain evil.

But anyway any top 50 anime list should have fairy tail somewhere in there. Fairy Tail is marvelous. I absolutely adore this show.

Fairy tail is awesome. It is the best show. Every one are powerful and strong. Anyway natsu is the king.

Misty has never kissed Ash.
Anyway, pokemon is a groundbreakingly good anime.700 episodes and 13 movies and still standing strong

Why is Pokemon 15th place?! It extremely entertaining to watch, and it is a awesome kids show, and all of their Anime's are so good to watch.

On worst this is #2... SCREW THEM! Pokemon is so awesome! But too many shows copied off it...

Oh, this should be way up higher. It makes me laugh cry, and I always am wishing I could be kagome. This seriously needs to be higher up because its my life.

In my opinion this show should probably rank among the top ten anime shows. It was an interesting story.

Loves it! Needs to be all the way at the top because I says so. You can disagree but I don't care. There are amazing characters and a great story line that is extreamly gripping and suspenseful.

My favorite Anime of all times. It has great characters, storyline, music/theme songs, and style, THE BEST! And Kenshin Himura is the best hero of all anime/manga!

WAY better than some of the ones in the top ten. This one is way more mature than DBZ or One Piece. The art style is way cooler too.

Definitely belongs in the top 7 at least! An amazing anime with a great balance of ACTION, COMEDY and DEPTH. Very realistic historical and very enjoyable at different levels for all audiences. A MUST WATCH!

Pretty much the best anime I've seen. It has a very deep and partly disturbing storyline. I don't think I'll ever forget this anime's story line.

Its not suitable for children for pretty much every reason and it goes well beyond your average R rating.

Its sweet but by far one of the best in terms of story
this gripping story will literally make you cry in places but makes up for it with its comical parts!
quite literally one of the most creative anime out there

I really love the story line of this anime. If you look into it there is a deep meaning in the story. It is about trust and friendship. I hope they made it longer and make the ending more satisfying at it is. But overall it is the best.

This list is depressing, clearly most of the voters are children, I mean Naruto at number 2?! Cowboy Bebop is the best anime ever.

Should be no. 1... Or at least in top 5... Come on! Awesome characters... Story-line... And MUSIC! Shinichirō Watanabe just rocks!

How is this not #1? It's a brilliant, mature, creative anime that appeals to all ages and has something for everyone. I mean, my parents love it for crap's sake. Really, it deserves so much more respect than it gets

I love Yu-Gi-Oh! It annoys me that so many hates it. Most people has only seen the 4Kids version and then thinks: ", this show sucks! It's just a little kiddie show.. " or something like that. Yu-Gi-Oh! Is so much more! Personally I prefer the Japanese version. I just love Shunsuke Kazama! His voice as Yugi/Yami was so awesome! And Shinkichi Mitsumune's Soundtrack! And the original unchanged storyline by Kazuki Takahashi! Many people thinks Yu-Gi-Oh! Is just an anime about a card game. I must say if that's what you think, then you don't even know what Yu-Gi-Oh! Is.. Sure the card game is important, but there are so many more things in Yu-Gi-Oh! Yu-Gi-Oh has tons of great relationships, great character development, no stupid fillers that makes no sense and so much more! I highly recommend anyone to watch all the episodes of this show! Yu-Gi-Oh! Is my favorite anime of all time!

I love yu-gi-oh, why is it #17?! I mean, the storyline may be a little long, but it's not boring or anything. The story actually has some depth, unlike animes like pokemon, pokemon currently has over 720 episodes and still airing... That series is becoming monotone~ But yu-gi-oh is awesome, I've liked it for 2 years and still going strong

This show is amazing - Pokemon shouldn't even be in the top 10. Although the original series was definitely the best, each new one had something cool to add to both the game and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Universe. As for the original YGO, the character development was amazing, and it showed how truly in-depth a character can become in 5 seasons. The plot was awesome, and even though each new series gets progressively more and more about merchandising, YGO will always be one of my favorite anime.

+13Comon guys, who could forget those iconic pigtails brought into our culture by this show? Such a great series, in my view this is #1.

+5Sailor moon rules all. Sarena, Lita, Mina, Rini, Sailor Venus and Rey. The best set of girls in a series.

+4For sailor moon to not be in at least the top ten is blasphemous, even if I cannot spell that word. It is as classic as dragonball and is loved worldwide. Although the English translation is full of cheesy 90s phrases, the original Japanese version is a jewel!

Detective conan is the best anime for me. It's just the only that can make a viewer also think what is the true motive of the culprit or how/what method did he use kill the victim. Conan is still running and I hope that it will not end.

It has more than 600 episodes, 15 movies, OVAS, SPECIALS, LIVE ACTIONS, in which totally prove that many fanatics are still watching for this anime.

GIN! he's my fav antagonist in DC.. owh.. I don't want to talk about him.. I love this anime bcoz! it's my first anime I watched since I'm 11 years old.. woah.. now I'm 18.. n I love this anime till now! muahxx...

akuma_hime

If you are to connect all episodes to one it's not very good. But each episodes individually are great and the way each character was shaped and molded... totally awesome... although I don't want it to end yet I so wanna know the ending

Angel Beats was really influential and showed me that anyone can change their past for a better future if they tried. The struggles that all the characters go through shows that they really want to change their future even though they don't have one, cause they are dead. It shows the power of good leadership and... It is drawn really well!

Sad ending :'( watch its an amazing anime that should be number 2 death note 1

Angel beats should be wayy higher. it has such a sad and amazing storyline. it will always be my favourite.

I think naruto s should be in the to 10. There aren't that much fillers until nearly the latest episodes and the fights and action is way superior to the naruto series.

In my onion, Naruto will be the best anime ever, but naruto shippuden is what makes it even greater. I think that a lot of good ideas have been used, its a perfectly executed story line with amazing characters. SNM!

I think naruto s should be up there. It is part of naruto just with a different name and the story gets 10 times better. It is action packed, mystery solving and has a great development to the characters it should be at least in the top 15

20? really? its probably the most captivating anime I've seen. It really got me thinking about some stuff. The way some Highschoolers are forced to survive against endless undead in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. The animations are also fantastic. I was sitting on my arse watching all episodes non stop and then proceeded to read the manga. its awesome!

I really like this anime! It's one of the best animes I've ever seen. It deserves to be on the top 5 or top 10! Vote for this anime more!

This was a great Anime and to find it at 21 is sad it is definitely deserves to be in the top 5. Great storyline and great action. It was so good I couldn't wait to get off work and throw it in the dvd player. Enough said.

The funniest, most idotic teacher can really teach a class full of mean smarties to get rid of him. He is so stupid!

interesting and new way of teaching, eikichi onizuka introduces his own policy, even the pta is no match for him

ronluna

a teacher with a great passion in teaching, teaches life values more than the subject itself and it is worth watching it. full of suspense, drama, action, comedy, romance.

ronluna

Cutest drama ever! I recommend watching this if you like cute annoying guys or if you like tough acting girls! Heheh!

All the characters here are cute and also I like Misaki's braveness and boyish character which is not completely boyish

If you love romance/comedy anime you should really watch this! It has many romantic parts and a lot of funny scenes. This is the first anime I really got addicted to. I like the manga more than the anime 'cause it has many more "killigg" and funny parts. By the way, this is my 1ST FAVORITE anime and manga. Please. Try to watch it, 'cause you'll never regret watching it,
TRUST ME! ;)

This is the finest canon of anime that I've ever seen. It's not only an introspective look at a future society but it also dovetails into socio-ethics of politics, the thin line between democracy and dictatorship, questions of what defines humanity, among other things. Overall one of the most thoughtfully written, amazingly directed, and interesting anime's of all time.

Oh come on... No comments yet?
You've got serious issues people.. If you haven't watched GITS yet!
It's kick-ass for all the cyberpunk lovers out there.
Not just that but the anime also takes the cake in action sequence..
Highly recommended!

Best cyberpunk anime I have ever seen period.
It is also one of the most influential anime series of all time
it can be somewhat may be dark but it is a great anime to watch

Better than z cause it's funny and still has that action. This is anime in its purest, most entertaining form.

mikeford

I didn't like Dragon Ball Z as much because the heroes never really lost. Also, when Goku set the bar, becoming a Super Saiyajin, I thought it was cool and all, but after Gohan became SSJ2, and the series progressed, there really was no limit to any of the character's strength, and that annoyed me. In Dragon Ball, the characters were very much balanced, and even when nearing the end of the series where Goku had improved greatly under Kami's guidance, the characters were still fairly balanced.

Definitely better than z or gt and the first one at that! I really loved the fact that there were really hilarious scenes (see episode 45) but in z and gt they forgot about some of the funniest characters. Definitely my favorite anime of all time!

One of my best sports anime along with major. Awesome characters, extremely funny, the main character is one of my favorite characters of all time, the only flaw is the slow progression with the matches(1 match can maybe take 2-3 episodes). I recommend you watch the first 2 episodes and then you will see the rest in like 2-3 days(at least thats what I did :P).

it's just sad that this was cancelled. poor writer why do you have to die?!
but seriously, no GHOSTFIGHTER?!

WHY IS THIS ON NUMBER 27?! THIS SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE! This anime's a legend, even Animax still show this in 2010 while this anime was born at 1993. Takehiko Inoue is a true legend! The storyline is also good. It shows friendship and everything else. This anime also make me play basketball... Until now

K-ON! Is Japanese anime. They do light music as club actibity.
But they are rude. It is exciting for us to be rude.
You should watch this anime.

Funniest anime in the WORLD! It taught me a lot about world history while making me laugh at the same time! Okay, laugh is an understatement. I've laughed so hard that I CRIED! And all the characters are so cute! This will forever be my favorite anime!

Hetalia is one of the best animes I every watched. It taught me new things and definitely made me more aware of current world affairs. Not only is it somewhat educational, but it is extremely funny and made a large inpact in its fans. Hetalia needs to be up in the top!

I could go on and on forever about how amazing Hetalia is, but this is my thoughts in a small summary:

Hetalia is and will always be my favorite anime. Ever. One of the reasons I really love Hetalia is because you've never ssen anything like it! The characters are amazing, and you just fall in love with every single one of them. Hetalia has tought me more about history then any teacher ever has. Not only does it make you view the world in a compleatly differnt way(positively), but it is also extreamly funny and addictive! The art style is very unique too! Himaruya Hidekazu(The creator of Hetalia)is my hero and he is a genius for creating such a unique and outstanding anime.
PASTAA! ~~~~~~~~ To all you Hetalia fans out there- Bravo!

It is spooky, mysterious, funny... Sebastian really rocks.

This is the best anime ever. The story goes with a young boy who made a contract with a demos Sebastian Michaelis in order to take a revenge on the death of his parents. Combined Comedy, action, and detective stories. And you must try it.

All the characters, every single one of them is developed with such skill, the plot will always keep you going and the perfection of this. One amazing anime/manga!

Gosick should be much higher. The plot was well developed and each episode related to each other. This detective anime hosts memorable characters (no one can forget Victorique! )

A beautiful anime of mystery love and friendship... For anyone to watch it will be the best anime and definitely make your day. Simply beautiful I LOVED IT! IT WIL BE THE BES!

Fruits basket is a awesome show, there is fighting love and even animals. Defensively I could write a novel about exactly what goes on in that house hold that is not shown in the manga

Fruits basket was amazing. It had animals, romance and humor. It's also entertaining for all ages. I think they could of made it a bit longer though for me twenty-six episodes wasn't enough.

Fruits Basket has struck a chord within me. You can really relate anything with it. I was so into it, it make me cry for so many reasons. It's emotional, funny, dark, serious and so many more. The manga is so touching.

Spirited Away is something I watch every few months. It has loads of innocence in it and while the character growth isn't obvious, it has an inner quality that really touches me.

Spirited Away is a captivating masterpiece by Hayao Miyazaki. It has great art and the soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi is simply superb. The innocence of Chihiro at the start and how she develops into a more mature person as she fights for the people she loves. Another great aspect to it is that the main antagonist isn't shown to be evil. She does good things as well as bad which I believe is great.

Overall Spirited Away is a must watch movie and is better than crap like Naruto.

I truly adore spirited away, I have ever since I was a small girl! To saying I've watched it a hundred times is a great under statment! Please whenever you get the chance watch this anime!

Air Gear amazed me! At first I though "Oh this is going to be stupid! " Three minutes in I fell in love! It is a 100~~ original series and takes my place as #1 I've watched it at least six times!

Amazing story was hooked on it after the first episode. Kind of sad that it ended so quickly needs another season for sure.

Totally agree loved it after watching a couple episodes, highly addictive. I felt a lot of emotions while I was in my Air Gear period, it was something that has affected me as a person, I feel I have grown from watching Air Gear. Air Gear has a lot of motivational aspects and hits homes with teens the most in my opinion.

Dude, this will make real man cry, good luck resisting not to cry. This should be at the TOP.

Makes men cry and women cry more. And cry. And cry again. Top quality storylines and creative art

Amp!
this should be in the t0p 5
this is my sec0nd fav0rite anime.. But "we still d0nt kn0w the name of the fl0wer we saw that day" will be the best

a future where everyone carries a gun, the universe's most powerful gunman, however, he's an idiot, vash the stampede is a legend

Vash is my favorite character of any anime. The show is worth it just to watch him and wolfwood together.

Probably one of the top 15 Anime ever made, although simplistic at times, it is definitely a very emotional anime, especially towards the end of it. Death, Compassion, the will to go on in a barren planet, It shows some of humanity's worst and best side, a 'must watch' if you like anime.

It's a great anime, quite interesting plot and epic characters, with a very captative story and so all the turns this story has to tell you.

I love this one, it's the best, one of my favorite anime, there's so many pretty boys and also from now on, I want to play violin and piano, yeah!

It seems like Haruhi doesn't want to win this...
She has the ability to change stuff and do what she wants.
For example, if she wants to win, we will definitely win.
By the way, it's The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Not The Melonchy of Haruhi Suzumumia

the best ever! Such a great storyline with the X-laws and Jean!

Shaman kIng The Best Anime! The Idea to made like that anime its really impressive I really love it! The beginning tHe story The Ending! Its so Special! The Fight, Spirits! GZ but to be 40 place nah that's sucks!

I love it, yoh and zeke rock and len is hot! It so cool and funny why is it 38? Its beter then dragen ball z!

One of the best anime... The story revolves around family, friends and loved ones...

This is the best anime... Just don't understand y its on 43? There are a very few stories that touch your life and your soul and this is definitely one of them... Watched it 12 yrs back when I was a kid and am still in love with it... If u can't understand this story then sorry dude.. U don't understand life...

Fushigi Yugi or should I say Curious Play or should I call it Mysterious Play? Love it no matter what the name... It deserves to be on top 10, no, top 5... So what if its old... Its story will never ever ever be old enough for us fans... forever

Great Story Line from the very beginning, a lot of blood and gore, Some funny scenes and I would recommend it for people if they like: Vampires, Werewolves and nazis.

It has the best conflict a war maniac could imagine; the third crusade warriors; the most badass vampire aka Dracula, n the crazy nazi soldiers! Not to mention the conceited english nobles..

This is the best and most different anime I have ever watched! It was so powerful it made my cry. Rena with her supercute mode, Mion and Shion, Rika, Satoko, Keichii, and Hanyuu, this anime is not to be missed!

My absolute Favorite, I think it is the best Anime ever. The Story is something I had never expierenced in other Anime. It is an Anime that you can't forget after seeing it, because of the setting and yu should watch all episodes to get the story

If this gets to the top ten, I can die happily. If anyone is looking for a good laugh, DMC delivers. GO DMC!

Agreed. This makes me laugh so hard! Certainly better than naruto, even though it's a completely different genre.

I love this anime, just too bad they messed up the storyline and wouldn't make another season. It's my Favourite anime and I have to watch it all over again sometimes.

Claymore is very good. Cause it is different from anything else, there is a lot of action, the writing is great and sometimes it can be really creepy.

Great anime that captures your attention straight from the get go. All but the last two episodes have a terrific story and great action. I highly recommend it.

Funniest anime that I have ever watched in my life.
Personally I would recommend this anime to anyone. The graphics, plot and episodes were perfect. The intro wasn't bad either. One issue that I have with this is that, I would prefer if this anime went for a longer period of time. It only has 26 episodes. I would prefer for it to have around 50-70 episodes, anymore than that it would get boring. But anyway all in all, an amazing anime.

It was THE funniest anime that I have ever watched.
The characters were amazingly hilarious with their own complexes.
I loved how the rich characters were so ignorant about instant coffee.
I also loved how they were always making fun of the poor "commoners".
And bananas were a recurring gimmick!
Oh, and the managers high power machine and her laugh.
Ohhohohohohohohohoh~

This is such a good anime! I have watched the series around 50 times and still don't get tired of it! I even get my 11 year old sister to recommend it to her friends, trololololo...

;w; OHSHC for the win

Ok. Maybe this Rumiko Takahashi masterpiece may not be as popular (today) as the two anime series mentioned earlier. But it was quite popular during it's prime. Even my girlfriend loves this series and according to her, this is her favorite anime of all time. (How's that? hehe) I saw this series, I think, back in high-school. It was my favorite back then and I felt really sad when RPN 9 stopped airing it without finishing the series. I was traumatized and since then everytime I saw a Ranma 1/2 poster, I felt like crying. (I'm exaggerating a little bit but it was almost like that). I searched anime shops everywhere but sadly, if they have it, it's only the first season. But often, they don't have it at all. Then came the internet.. and downloadable fansub videos. But still I couldn't find the whole complete series. (sigh) Anyways, enough ranting. Ranma 1/2 is mainly not a continous series but rather, each series is stand-alone. What I really liked about it is the humor and the relaxing feel whenever watching it. There's a also a bit of martial arts and love story. I really wasn't sure if this anime is popular until my friend sitting beside me right now, diligently doing his work, confirmed it. For a second opinion, I did the "Google popularity test" I mentioned in number ten and found out that it is still quite popular over the internet.

olrak15

Ranma is hallarious. I'd watch the whole series over again if I could.

greatest anime baseball series of all time

ronluna

Best sports anime ever. Nice 6 seasons. Very inspiring, makes you cry, laugh and every episode makes you want to watch the next episode.

Good flow of story... It is one of the best inspiring anime I've ever watched.. Even if it takes me infinite times to watch every episodes of major..

Wolf's Rain should be Number one! it is much better than any of the other animes on this list! Dragon-ball Z? C'mon! Wolf's Rain beats the lot!

+9S. A one of the epic anime of all time. Rivals in LOVE. Funny, exciting, drama, love story.. Surely to be enjoyed by everyone!

+7THIS IS MY FAVORITE ANIME...
I LOVE U TAKISHIMA AND HIKARI...
I'MYOUR FANATIC FANS

lovelyeunisse

+2! This is my most favorite anime since there is love, rivals, and ex factor in this anime. I really like how the characters get involve with each other and how they make me smile by myself. I also like the way they make funny pictures from the characters. Oh, HOW I LOVE THIS SHOW..

+3How come ds s way out of the list?
dz movie is so great, lot of lesson can be learn

+3Fast pace action scenes.. Unique story and characters

+3It is an amazing anime written by the same author of yuyuhakushow Note: I am including the OVA's in this because they continue along the manga's main plot line.

This anime is so awesome! The plot has so many twists and turns, it was surprising me until the very end, and the characters are some of the most awesomely developed I have ever seen. I literally cannot say enough about this anime, it was so good!

I love durarara best anime ever I really love it! The characters are incredibile and the dollars and yellow scarve and celty you totally must to watch it

P. S:Best anime ever after fairy tail

This is probably the best love anime. I’ve seen plenty but this one is by far the best! Not only those it show a great love story but also a girl experiencing kindness for the first time in her life. It’s an absolutely amazing anime!

When I first saw this anime I stayed up a full night watching it straight. If I hadn’t I still wouldn’t had been able to sleep. I’ve seen plenty of anime but non that has had this effect on me. The tune of the intro can cheer me up in any situation! If you like love anime then Watch it! If you don’t, watch it still!

This anime
suck never watch it! The girl is ugly the graphics suck do don't watch it

Kimi ni todoke is the BEST ANIME EVER! The plot is really sweet, the drawings are beautiful, the songs are cool, the actors are a perfect fit for the characters, especially the fact that Sawako always tries her hardest at everything.

One of the best anime stories ever written Truly great should have been higher on the list. Much better than Bleach and Naruto and even has one of the most Iconic anime heroes of All- Time.

I grew up watching this anime and you know what ITS AWSOME! it should be in the top 10

If you only saw the remake that was done in 2003, you're probably surprised why I put it in number 2. Just in case you don't know it, Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom) became a household name for many generations too just like Dragon Ball Z probably it's reign was even longer. It's a work of the late great Osamu Tezuka, The Father of Manga. I really don't remember the details of the story anymore because I watched this maybe 20 years ago, but I know I loved it back then. And my brothers and I grew up knowing who Astro Boy is.

Simply stunning. Two alternative worlds emesh two friends to fight in the corridors and arenas of a barren, apocalyptic world.

This anime is the best. It has a very sad story but it is really great well anyway BRS is a really good anime for those who like action (or cute girls). Really great story, great design for the characters and weapons the settings and theme of the anime is great too, the plot from the start to climax is great and the Ending is really awesome.

+6Gurren Lagann should be at the top of this list, because no anime has ever presented its theme, in such epic passion and emotion the way Gurren Lagann did, and although the feats of the characters in this anime series is outright impossible and did not make sense, the way they repeatedly explain how they happened by the term "SPIRAL ENERGY" knocks some logic into this Heaven Piercing series.

It seems Gurren Lagann haven't been paid much attention by anime lovers everywhere, and makes me kinda sad about how the other noob anime got so many attention, even though their storylines are very cliche and full of fanservice. If you think the high ranking anime are great, Gurren Lagann went beyond great, beyond the impossible. Each episode is filled with extremely awesome badassery, unlike the high ranking anime which only have a few moments of awesome in their 500 long episodes, which even one of those moments can never top any of Gurren Lagann's CROWNING MOMENT OF AWESOMENESS

PS: I love Gurren Lagann. In my top 10 list, all 10 of them are Gurren Lagann

+3While Naruto and Bleach are popular, anyone who has ever seen Gurren Lagann will have to say that Gurren Lagann is the best. Other anime get high rankings because of ignorance, and they appeal to a main stream audience but Gurren Lagann has something for everyone, and anyone who has seen it can't deny that it's great, if not the best anime they've ever seen.

+3This series should be rated infinity * infinity to the power of infinity...

Romance comedy, good very funny facing in each episode

If you like vampires Vampire Knight is a great anime series for you, it has many sad, exciting and happy scenes. Its one of my favourite series that I ever watched.

But is a good anime even though this may not get ratings fast it's a good anime and worth watching even though it has only got 26 episodes very in depth and suspenseful. Not you average story also there are not actually knights in it.

VAMPIRE KNIGHT IS SO AWESOME THERE IS NOT ANOTHER ANIME BETTER THAN IT. IT SHOULD BE IN THE NUMBER 1. Love IT love IT love IT love IT. I'M NOT LYING. IT IS THE BEST. GO VAMPIRE KNIGHT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE VAMPIRE KNIGHT YOU ARE CRAZY.

I love how the anime was set up. They focused and a lot of main characters rather than just one. It had a very interesting story-line and the ending could have been better but over all it was Amazing. The fight scense and coreograph is amazing as well. YOU MUST WATCH!

This is the most amazing anime/manga ever created! The Animation/Drawing style is so unique and lovely. The characters are developed very well. The set that its in (death city) is wonderful and dark. The fighting scenes are amazing and beautifully animated. The plot though, is the best bit. It's obviously been thought out hard.
There's sad meaningful episodes and then there's the lighthearted fun episodes.
Anyway.
If you haven't seen Soul Eater you must watch it. NOW. Though the first few episodes aren't as good as the rest it won't take long for you to get hooked...

The anima sucks, but the manga is very good. Intersting story but I think they screwed it up with the clowns...

The charaters of this anime is so amazing you can learn about strong, talent, enemies, courage, chance, drean, goal, weakness, feelings, happiness, past and future, try, and most of all the friendship this PRINCE OF TENNIS no can beat this is the best sports and best moments of all even this is no. 81 this is the unforgettable anime

Its just wicked awesome aniy fancyme...
The main thing about that it shows reality not like any other anime with fancy names

Nice this anime is so cool.
Here you can see the improved quality of the characters even though the sketch is a bit different. This anime is so awesome! The plot has so many twists and turns, it was surprising me until the very end, and the characters are some of the most awesomely developed I have ever seen. I literally cannot say enough about this anime, it was so good!

Hands down, best anime ever created. How on earth is this not at least in the top 20? Best samurai action of all time, with a superb story line. Action-Love-Funny-Friendships... And more action. If you like anime you've got to check this one out.

Why is this SO low. From the creator of the greatest anime of all time Cowboy Bebop... Enough said. How can there not be more people that think this is at least top 20? Three inseparable friends journeying through tons of action and a stellar ending, what's not to like. Come on fans start voting and move this great anime up in the ranks.

Awesomeness its amazing and awesome for how short it is. If you're looking for a short series to check out that doesn't take long to finish check it out

Better than most that I know of, better than Elfen Lied, and one of my all time favorite animes off all time. The guns look cool, the action is good, the alines are... Odd...

Gantz! I might have just voted for this because nino is the movie. I am reading the manga right now and it is pretty good so two thumbs up!

aibaka

if you like football then this anime is sure to make you fall completly in love with football... highly recommended if you want to see a good football realated anime really worth spending time watching this :D

Its a really cool anime whats it doing down herewith Akitasha Mononoke and Moro its exciting

Simply amazing... Can watch it over and over and still become totally mesmerized by the quality of animation, character depth, and engrossing story.

+1Awesome! An old show which doesn't lose out in popularity even today!

+1Very violent and adds something new to anime! Not the best, but still a masterpiece!

This Series definitely is a top 10 anime. It shows that people from a different culture or back ground can work together and save the world. Even if they don't know what they are doing in the process. I recommend watching this anime series. (Also Check out Berserk probably a top 5 anime in every die hard anime fans list )

Can't stop watching it,..
Laughing all the way,..
FUNNIEST ANIME EVER!

Anime lover should watch it,..
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

of the MANY different anime I've watched, this sits firmly among my top 5 funniest anime of all time. You have to watch the main series to fully grasp the comedic values of "ull Metal Panic? Fumoffu"

“This is perhps one of my most favorite animes of all time. I just love the wonderful storyline, the awesome charcaters and the underlying theme of enigma rooted deep within the personality of everything. Sinmply amazing (:

“Well I just loved Get Backers.. The series is pretty damm amazing.. The charachters are just great with their special abilities and all.. totally awesome..

Very underrated very cool anime its pretty entertaining it was one of the early shows from the once great Toonami on Cartoon Network I really recomended.

This show rocked dude I watched this show every time it was on I wish they put it bk on the air hehehe the giys are cute too

Kekkaishi is a wonderful action, comedy with romance anime. Here you can see the improved quality of the characters even though the sketch is a bit different.

This is one of the funniest animes I know about, I just wish there could been some more episodes when I watched the last episode I got kinda sad it was over. Like said in the other comment there are also guys watching this anime, for example me it gave me a good laugh and I actually almost started to cry at one of the episodes. I recommend this anime.

Lucky star is a brilliantly written anime, with a strong cast of characters, good humor, and plenty of character Moe to suit any taste. Jokes are abountaint, and the sense of friendship strong in this little slice of life which is known by virtually all anime fans. It's primary targeted toward a female audience, but a lot of boys watch the show as well.

Lucky Star is a 4-panel series with unique character drawing, lots of laughs, and leaves you feeling warm and happy after each episode.

It should be in top 20 I think, its one of the most captivating anime in this list, I strongly advice yu to it immadiately

In all my years of watching anime this show is one of the best I've seen, its a great original story with unique powers etc. You'll be hooked within the first few episodes

“Ah! My Goddess is an anime that has a great story and concept, and great cast of characters (I'm saying this probably because they're goddesses. ). And because of these qualities, the anime and manga got so much love from anime fans and it became very popular. At first, my perspective over the anime is that it is made for girls who like drama and love stories. Probably because of the relationship between Keiichi Morisato and Belldandy and during that time, I was under the somewhat traditional belief that action is for boys and drama is for girls. But as time went by, my perspective changed. I realized that Ah My Goddess is actually a "boys' anime".. wait.. let's make that "boys' dream anime". Why is that? Well it's typical for a boy like me to dream about being surrounded by pretty girls, much more if they're serving me, much much more if they're beautiful goddesses. *snaps out of it* Now why is Ah! My Goddess on this list? Well it's pretty popular and I liked it so much and is actually one of my favorites.. enough said. It's number 9!

I cried at the end! you really have to wache it if you like sad storys.

I cried so much while watching it, I remember cring while my mom walked in the room and she just started at me. I obsessed over the anime months after I stopped watching it. I'm going to sound like a book nerd but the manga was still ten times better then the anime because izumi was the good guy in that one and it showed more of meriko and izumi and meriko and izumi as a couple

It's touching, and the end made me cry. Twice. Or was it 3 times? Awesome.
The singing is great too.

Saint Seiya is one of my favourite animes of all time, the story revolves around the Bronze Saints protecting Athena from evil gods. It revolves on how they become stronger both pyhsically and emotionally.
I like the Lost Canvas version too.

This is one of my favourite anime of all time, this anime focuses on the Bronze Saints Pegasus Seiya, Dragon Shiryu, Cygnus Hyoga, Andromeda Shun and Phoenix Ikki protecting both the universe and the recent incarnation of Athena from evil gods. Have you ever felt your cosmos?

Despite the low rankings Saint Seiya is one of the Greatest anime legends of all time well known in the West particularly Mexico.
The story revolves around the Bronze Saints Pegasus Seiya, Dragon Shiryu, Cygnus Hyoga, Adromeda Shun and Phoenix Ikki fighting against evil to protect the human incarnation of Athena.

It shows how they became strong physically and emotionally through their rough times as orphans and as saints.

This anime is action packed, deeply moving, intense, epic and fast paced although there are some gory, scary and disturbing scenes that are best hidden away from kid's eyes because this anime is more aimed at teenagers. Once you watch it you get sucked in with the series remembering it probably for the rest of your life. There is the prequel of Saint Seiya that can be recommended called The Lost Canvas revolving the origin setting back the 18th century.

The single most amazing, heart-rending, and powerful anime I have ever watched. I've aleady seen the series two times, and the second time was only better than the first time. I wept my heart out at the end, too; even the heartless are unable to not shed a tear. PM is, hands down, the best anime of all time. To not watch it would be a sin.

Oh my gosh! This anime was just amazing! It gives you a different outlook on having magical powers. I will never forget this anime. It should be number 1.

Madoka Magica reinvents and transforms any previous notions of what a magical girl anime should be. It provokes the feelings of grief, loss, determination, and many more, delving into a deeper side of the human mind as well as presenting a very real and honest take on the genre. The characters are well thought out, the music is amazing, and the story flows extremely well; each episode is better than the last. Overall, this anime is extraordinarily well done and worthy of a watch, or a hundred.

Hilarious fun in every episode ^^ the king of harem anime! Pervy while delivering wonderful story elements.

Eureka Seven is an anime capable of purest brilliance, proferring scenes of immaculate beauty, fantastical wonder or eye-widening perfection. However, these sublime moments are not peaks in an otherwise even landscape so much as they are truffles in mud and it often feels as though you are expected to sit through the duller moments, and put up with the ubiquitous inanity in order to be worthy of such a prize. Just a perfect anime to follow watch and let yourself cry over it for such a great creation unfortunately the end is too fast and fail in explanation

This is by far the best anime I have watched yet It truly goes straight to the heart D I think that the relationship between Renton and Eureka makes the series such a wonderful experience.

How! HOW DARE THEY NOT SET THIS AS NUMBER 1! This anime, is like no other, is has no equal, NOT 1 can express the emotion shown in this anime. It shows the story of a boy, named rin, who dreamed of something big. But what showed up on his door step? His match, the container which will hold every fiber of his being in the form called love. Her name is Eureka. She didn't even bat an eye at him at first. But love, it found a way to brake her shell and pierce into her heart. It gave them hope to strive for big things. Every character in this anime changed. Most for good, and went through hardships. This anime made me WISH for what they had. Dream for it, and move towards is with leaps and bounds. What the writers where able to put into this anime is amazing. It can NEVER be copied for what it has is unique. It's impossible. This anime deserves, no needs to be number 1. The whole world needs to found out what drives this anime. It is love. And love, it finds a way.

+1Its mahol yaar

mark evans is genius
tatsimukai is also good
gouenji rocks

It has been one of the best soccer based animes. Some of it's excellent characters are= endou, gouengi, fubuki, kanon, fidio. I'ld tell you that this is an anime having some really good special moves. Watch it from episode 70. You would love it and I guess once you watch it, it will be among the top 10. It's a superb anime.

Best piece of anime work in my opinion. The detail that was put into the work as a whole including the art, storyline and character development was phenomenal.

+1this ones kind of kidish but it's still cool

xxxgoodgurlxxx

Itś amazing. Sad but really addictive. Love everything about it.

Very indepth with good character developement... Except for riku... Poor riku.

violent but sad and I could not stop watching

azumangadaioh2010

Good series but if you want it to be better read the manga. I like the anime but the manga was way better. I cried at the end of both, so you can tell it's sad. It gets a little complicated to understand in the anime but I found the manga really easy to understand. It's a good series to watch/read but please, read it first.

slow pacing lack of action complete and utter lack of action souns like a recipie for disastor but in this case it woorks making this in my opiion the greatest anime of all time.

alucard

Just Watched the show again. It is really amazing, how so little action can lead up to such a great plot and bases of the story.

this one is really cool... I love all the cast and the twist of the story...
