Top 10 Best Anime Series
What defines a great show? Does the series need great story, does it need cool characters or good soundtracks, what about atmosphere and sceneries? I myself has always been a fan of good endings...
Do you ever wonder what defines a great show, or how great a show possibly can become, well... then i know for a fact, that you haven't seen Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood yet, because FMAB masters all these things almost flawlessly. Fullmetal Alchemist: brotherhood is a show that strives for perfection. You can look all you want for flaws, but you won't find them easily. Though animations, characters, soundtracks etc. are great, I feel like i should focus more on telling you about the story, as the story is thing that distinguish most from other series. Because the rarity of a great story is so extreme, and this might be your only chance to see something close to perfection. Not only is it unique and original, but it constantly pops up some kind of new plot twist, so you can never truly predict what happens next. FMAB would probably be the only show that never left it's original plot. There were some side stories, but if they first started on a side story, they would at least tangle it up with the main story and follow the story up to the end. If you have seen Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) and consider watching this because you're not sure if they will be almost the same, you're probably an idiot. This is on 1st place and FMA is on 10th. If that isn't telling you enough I can go closer into details. First and foremost is FMA:B surpassing FMA in almost every way. While Brotherhood also have these small improvements like better animation, better english voices, cooler fights etc. the story is in a another dimension. The difference in the story is enormous even though the first 12 episodes of Brotherhood is only a recap of the original FMA. And for all of you non-believers from Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), do not worry!... I know you have been crying yourself too sleep throughout the previous show begging god for mercy. Well your prayers have been heard, because Winry's boobs will randomly get bigger in some episode after episode 25. (They thought I wouldn't notice... I showed them alright *evil laugh*)... Summary: Anyways... A great show that needs to be seen. I would recommend watching the original FMA first because of some inquiries that tends to be in a few count of episodes in FMAB. Also the first 12 episodes of Brotherhood is kind of a recap of what happened the first (ca) 1-28 episodes in FMA. Even though they have made it possible to be seen without seeing FMA...

Attack on Titan aka. Shingeki no Kyojin is an ongoing series, with currently 7 of 24 episodes subbed.
I actually had no intention of putting this on the list before the series was over, put episode 5 was just so so insanely good that i had to express my love for it somewhere. ^^ If you havent started watching this show yet, watch it!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 is a fantasy, mecha which has quite the similarities with Death Note.
Both animes evolves around a genius main character which gains a supernatural power which they decides to use to make an utopian world with. Also they do it while hiding their true identities. Despite their similarities I would say, Code Geass comes on top for a few reasons. First and foremost because Death Note had some average 12 last episodes instead of quitting on episode 25 and in contrast of this Code Geass: LOTR R2 has one of my favorite endings of all time. Other than that they are both great shows. Neither Code Geass and Death Note seizes to amaze me, and the joy of finding out what happens next is also a common feature they share. I actually favored season 2 over season 1, and I know there is a lot of general discussion about this. Though season 2 got som sloppy writing here and there, it was still better because of the superior action scenes and the amazing ending. In addition to that, there were still great writing in first several episodes and the last couple of episodes, with just a few average episodes somewhere in the middle.

Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion is a mecha quite similar to Death Note. As both the story follows a high school student gaining a supernatural power, which they tries to use to their benefit, "saving the world"... None of them has any problem killing to achieve their goals, both of them becomes a bit.. well.. mad.. while in progress of their work, both of them hiding their true identities (Light disguises as Kira and Lelouch as Zero), both of them are smart, strategic and devious and the similarities just keep going.

Baccano! is one of the best and probably the most original shows I have ever seen. This show is so brilliant, that when I was done watching it, I instantly started to re-watch it, too see the show all over again. Not because I was confused or anything, but just because this show is the fucking defenition of awesome!
The plot, dialogues, scenes are all brilliantly performed, but one thing was even better... The characters: The characters in this show are amazing! Their personalities are all so different and fun, and that's even with the big cast they have! A good main character in an anime is actually pretty standard (at least based on the animes i've seen), but in this show, every fucking character is so extremely well made! In this show, the writers have managed to create better characters in 16 episodes than every 13, 25 or 50+ episodes anime i've seen so far (Averagely per character that is). Not a single characters is boring or uncreative, but If I had to choose my absolute favorite characters, it would probably be Isaac and Miria. Isaac and Miria are funny, thoughtful and actually quite skilled robbers. Not only are they performing the strangest kinds of robberies, but they also dresses up in costumes every time. One of their plans was to rob a whole museum, but as that was proved impossible, they stole the entrance door instead... so that no one could enter.(not many robbers like that these days oO). They have many great quotes and they don't disappoint in a single episode. Note: The show may seem like a total mess and a clusterfuck in the first few episodes. You may have a hard time remembering who is who, who belong to witch timeline, who are immortal, who are not etc. Though you will be pretty confused, DO NOT FEAR, JUST KEEP WATCHING!! Believe me, when you're at the end they have managed to tangle up all your previous questions and frustrations and given you the answers you were looking for.

Death note was the first anime I saw and I am really happy about starting my long list of animes with something this great. I also think that Death Note is the guaranteed best, first anime to see. The reason for that is because of the no blood, no random fan-service (which may scare some people off), but still holds you on the end of your seat at all times. This is great fun and I still haven't met anyone who didn't like the first 25 episodes.
Death note is a thriller about the genius high-school student, Light Yagami aka. Kira, who finds this mysterious diary (Death Note), which can kill people. Light decides too use this diary to kill all evil and make a utopian world without bad guys. As killers, thieves, prisoners start dying in jails and on the street by no cause, the police suspects that there is a serial killer doing the work. They have no clues and can't find any leads that would lead them to the killer so they call in their greatest detective. The detective they call 'L'. And This is were the fun part starts... L is a genius. This epic battle between them brings humor (mostly from L, who is the biggest troll ever), mystery and it will keep you guessing their moves until the end of the show. L is my personal favorite character of all time. Baccano! had the best characters all in all (every single character was awesome), Vash the Stampede from Trigun was epic, Guts was badass and there are a lot of other great character, but L is my favorite. This would be higher up on the list if it ended where it should have ended...

Clannad: After Story was the 2nd anime I saw, and what an excellent 2nd anime it was. The first season which offered mediocre comedy, sadness and enjoyment, built up by 4 average stories about the side characters, suddenly grew so much and became this masterpiece of perfection.
No other anime will bring emotions like After Story and you will never feel the same way again. Like in the 1st season the show is divided into 4 stories, though in this season there is a main story, which starts around episode 9, when the last of the three other stories finishes. Now the story finally focuses Tomoya, who has been the protagonist from that start off. We will see his life After High-school when the friend group has split apart to each their destinations, Nigisa (his girlfriend) is repeating the senior year (again) and he moves out and gets a job. Here is where his hardest challenges in his life begins. While one tragedy after another hits him, he ends up in a depression. He finds his way out of the depression, but just months after, a new tragedy appears. The story is incredibly touching and should not be missed by anyone. NB! MUST SEE CLANNAD FIRST!

Loved it from the first episode!
Many people says the show starts a bit slow and they are probably right, because the real plot doesn't start before after episode 12. This doesn't matter at all though, each and every episode are great. We get to hear Okabin's awesome laughter (which probably would be enough to entertain me the entire show), we get to meet all the great characters and they'll introduce us to the plot. I'll admit that the first episodes weren't the reason for it's high spot on the list, because the greatness of the show doesn't show it's original form before episode twelve when Okabe performs his first time-travel. By episode twelve your heart should already be trying to beat its way out of your chest. Onwards from this point you will Another thing I truly love about this show is the EPIC intro! This intro is even equaled to Baccano's intro, something I hardly thought was possible.. A great anime which is highly recommended if you're looking for new animes to watch.

Berserk: The badass medieval anime about Guts the swordsman. His journey starts early on with joining a mercenary group called "The Hawks" and meeting Griffith, another important character. In the series we will see Guts helping Griffith achieving his dream about ruling the world.
One of the reasons for Berserk's high spot on this list would be the incredible, unbeatable atmosphere. The soundtracks, visual surroundings, the dialogues etc. really succeeds in creating a rather dark and grim show, which is good, which is especially cool considering that i hate too grim shows... The character depth and development is great. You'll get to know the charcters, their stories and their goals. This especially goes for the two main characters, Guts and Griffith. Guts is a really epic character. No superpowers, no supernatural strength, no guru raised him, and despite all this, we still end up with one of the strongest, best and most fearless swordfighters in any anime so far. But Guts actually deserves these amazing fighting skills. Every episode Guts is training. Training to improve and grow strong. He has an extreme determination and along the journey we will witness him become stronger. Guts is the ONLY character i have ever seen who has taken every single one of his opponents without any struggle (...fu. Demons don't count). Few can take this fighter 1v1 and he deserves a spot high up in best/most badass characters of all time. This is anime is a few steps from perfect though. The animations varies, but is mostly basic old school drawn, with some moments being better than others. Also the ending was quite annoying/bad. The manga continued, but the series stopped. The ending was actually quite random without any continuation that explained further on what was happening. At the end you will be confused, but happy for seeing one of the best animes ever!

Classy, stylish and cool. These are the three best words for describing Cowboy Bebop.
The plot isn't the deepest, most unique or thrilling, and is definitely not the reason you keep coming back for the next episode, but rather, as mentioned, the unique style and class of the show. The characters are awesome. Radical Ed, Faye Valentine, Jet Black and Spike Spiegel are the four main characters. Radical Ed is a genius child, with computer skill like no other.

A few years back i watched this series called Avatar: The Last Airbender and thought for myself "Whay an amazing show! Imagine how great this would be if they had an adult version of it. The story was very original and good, but it was meant for children, so that meant no deaths, no one gets hurt in fights and that takes away a little of the tension.
Now two years has gone and i stumble over this beautiful creation of a series called "Fullmetal Alchemist!"... I actually saw the first 41 episodes in one day, something which beats my old record by almost three times. In other words, this show is very addicting. The fights, characters and the pure enjoyment rates this show up high, but sadly the story rips a star away from it again. The plot revolves around the two main characters, which are called the Elric brothers. In their search for finding their new bodies, they sadly get way to far off track at times, starting new side plots which tends to do nothing with the main plot and lasts way too long. The plot is what throws this show down on the list, but still I enjoyed the hell out of it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Genre: Adventure, Science fantasy Episodes: 51, Tier 1 21st anime i saw, Eng RedAppl3's rating:
Trigun is an awesome western, action, comedy, drama anime about the legendary Vash the Stampede with the 60$$ billion on his head.
Vash the stampede is probably one of the most amazing characters I have seen. One moment he is the funny, unserious Vash that travels around the world teaching people about love and peace. This Vash also seem to trick everyone to think he is just a normal clumsy guy with no skill what so ever, but then the next second he takes on his glasses and becomes a badass, who could kill everyone and with the sickest gun skills on the planet, but still wouldn't kill a fly.

Anyways.. Kino's Journey is an extraordinary show like no other. While the usual kind of anime involves and focuses on blood, gore, cool fighting scenes, awesome and unique characters, a great plot and such, Kino's Journey has no specific plot, no blood or gore, no focus on getting a cool fight or a thrilling ending in every episode which makes you hungry for the next episode, but for some reason... i will continue this later - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Genre: Adventure, Fantasy Episodes: 13, Tier 2 15th anime i saw, Jap RedAppl3's rating:
From the makes of Baccano! I present to you Durarara!!! Another great show, though not as good as its predecesor. "Why?", you ask. Well ...
First and foremost, Baccano!'s plot seems much more thought through. They knew what they were doing, they knew what they wanted out of the show and probably how they wanted their plot to be. Durarara!! on the other hand, seems much more like a "here and now" kind of show. Ofc. they had planned much of it, but there were also many unknown factors which made some wholes in the plot and also made it weaker. I think they focused way too much on the stories of each character, for example. I see how they want to tell us about the characters, but an entire episode for so many characters with a show on 24 episodes, is simply too much (imo). The introduction of the characters are not at all boring though, (well.. some are better than others), but the thing is that when they are done with the characters they have less than half the show left to come up with a plot. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Genre: Action, Supernatural Episodes: 24, Tier 1 13th anime i saw.

I finished watching this anime only a few days ago (written October 12th) and this is a great anime as expected. The protagonist Himura Kenshin is a legendary manslayer from a war in Kyoto that happened under the revolution ten years back. To repel for his sins he makes an oath never to kill again, but wanders around with a reversed blade sword (which he can't kill with) which he tries to save as many lives as he can with.
The show itself is really good. There are great fighting scenes, humor involved, drama and a pretty good storyline. One of the downsides though is the fillers. Season 3 (after episode 62) are just fillers that has nothing to do with the mange (or at least that is what i've heard). I watched season 3 myself though and it is divided into 2 stories plus some episodes between these stories about nothing. Kinda like fillers to the fillers. What many people recommend is watching until you reach season 3 (stop at episode 62), then continue by watching the 4 OVA's, and then read the manga from where season 2 left off (Free to read: http://www.mangareader.net/118/rurouni-kenshin.html, act 151 was the last episode in season 2) and end off with the movie. Haven't read the manga myself, don't know if I shall yet... Have seen the whole series, the OVA's and the movie.

Bloodiest series i have ever seen... And i have seen Elfen Lied.
Hellsing Ultimate is truly a... bizarre show. They have these insanely epic fights and scenes which i haven't had since i saw . Alucard, the main character is original, but sadly his coolness points goes down as he is only his masters slave, and can't act on his own. The story started off well, but it my interest faded away after each episode that went by. Seriously, if I had a nickle for every minute of every monologue in this series i would be rich... But don't get me wrong, monologues are fine, but the ones in this series are WAY over dramatized and makes my spine twist and ears cry, and also... they are fcking boring. The show kind off reminds me off Breaking Bad, I hoped every minute off it that it would get better, but it never did :( All in all, watch it!

Clannad... The prequel to one of the best animes ever. I am really glad they started with this anime. A season who first attaches us to the characters and makes us so much more vulnerable when something really sad is happening.
While Clannad have all these sad separate stories about the characters, After Story brings you one story. I feel Clannad is just a preparation for what is yet to come to make it better. Focusing on Clannad only as a series though without considering After Story. The protagonist is a high-school student named Tomoya Okazaki. As a delinquent in his senior year, Okazaki hates his school and just sits around wasting time with his buddy Youhei Sunohara, who finds himself in the same situation. Sonuhara is more like an side character though Although Okazaki is the main character this is season is not merely as not much focused here as in After Story. This season is more about getting to know him and his friends and as we do that Clannad follows the story of 3 people. Fuko Ibuki, Kotomi Ichinose, Nagisa Furukawa (+ her parants, Akio and Sanae Furukawa). Though this season isn't merely as good as the next one, After Story wouldn't have been what it was if it wasn't for this season. Clannad id a must watch before After Story!

Gungrave was a decently good show. I have read reviews saying "Best anime of all time", but that is just exaggerated. The show is flawed...
The start is slow. Takes half the show before he becomes Gungrave. The art and animation isn't any special, beneath average i would say. The soundtracks was pretty standard, nothing special... and the only thing that actually stood out, was a above average was the storyline, which wasn't the best either, but better than average.

I remember back in the days when i had barely seen any animes. Claymore was one of the series i had read good things about.
I was really skeptical at first because i didn't like the animations and also i hated the english voice for Raki. After I hit episode 8, i really started to get a liking to the show. The plot is overall pretty good, but the ending was kind off disappointing to me... 7/10, a decent program with okay characters and a good plot.

Angel Beats is a series written by the creator of Clannad, and this is something you'll notice pretty fast if you have any experience of his previous work.
In my opinion, the show starts out the well. The humor is good, the plot seems interesting and the animations were decent. After some episodes though i felt Angel Beats kind off lost it's steam... As there seem to so many people talking about this I guess I'll have to explain a little farther why this series deserves to on rank I have placed it to be. First of all, even though I have this in my "top 5 worst", that doesn't say much, because all of the series I have seen up to now, has been great! Here we go... Angel Beats is a action comedy-drama slice of life, fantasy.... thingy. It's kind off hard to pin point the exact genre, as it doesn't have ONE genre which is like "yeah, that's definitely the right genre for AB", and that's one of the bad things about the series. AB is a 13 episodes long show, and at times, it seems rushed to me. They try to be a comedy, action, thriller, fantasy, tragedy, slice-of-life, drama series, but they don't have enough episodes to see this true. What they give us instead is a series which is a bit funny at times (most in the first episode(s)), almost sad FFS IT ISNT THAT GOOD Dub vs Sub The dub... I you watched Clannad in dubs, the voices in this show may annoy you a bit. For starter every voice in Clannad is used over in this show, and that WILL be strange to hear. Also i thought most of the voices matched the characters better in Clannad (ofc with the exception of Hideki Hinata, who is the excact copy of Tomoya in Clannad...

Funny you liked Baccano! so much, I can't get into it.
Definitely do watch Full Metal Brotherhood and Ghost in the Shell.
Well, you're saying "can't", like if you are seeing it atm or like you haven't finished it. The first episodes in Baccano! can be pretty confusing and may scare people a bit, but if you have seen all of it and still don't like it, i guess that would still be okay. ^^ After all, it's a pretty subjective matter.
As it goes for FMA I will save it for something like my fiftieth or hundredth, want to save the best for last or at least not use it right away...
and I will see Ghost in the Shell after Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, which I am going to see after I am done with Hellsing + Ultimate :)
Baccano! is just amazing, and I wouldn't worry about reading my review about it, it contains no spoilers at all :)
Actually I don't think any of my texts contains any spoilers...

I have to give it credit for being original, badass, and smart, but still, I can't say I love it.
finn123 - Thanks, I have high expectations for Gintama, but because of it's length I will postpone seeing it to the summer break.
vontajd - Golgo 13 looks great, I'll add it to my "want to watch" list. And sry about the HOTD thing, just not my genre I think.
TheTrickster - I'll probably see Naruto, One Piece and Bleach sometime around the autumn or something (at least One Piece and then Naruto), oh and also Fairy Tail.
WolfsCryToo - The "Should I watch this shit?" section only consists of great animes, I was only a bit more picky when I first created the list, but don't get me wrong, d.gray man and all the other series in that section will probably be awesome.
Well, the thing about Naruto is that there are certain things about it that draws my attention away from it.
First and foremost, it's a shounen, which is a genre i actually isn't that fond of, though ironically enough Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the best series I have ever seen...
Another thing is the absurd amount of fillers which is my second draw back.
My last concern is the number of episodes.
I will end up seeing the show, so no worries ;) But I'll wait till sometime around next summer when I have seen most of the other animés I want to see first.
As for Rosario i will probably not see it before next year or late this year. My "to watch list" is starting to get really big now...
I haven't missed Fate/Zero, Gurren Lagann and Evangelion. As you can see on my "Going to watch" list, they are all tier 1, which means I have really high expectations for them. Also all of them are listed on my "Top 20" in the description.
There are many people not liking Gintama it appears, but there are way more people praising it. Also I like the random humor the show provides. Many people has commented that it gets to random for them, but I like random in comedy ^^
And btw, I like that you have seen 140 episodes of it before saying you didn't like it :) I don't like when people only have seen the first few episodes of a show and judges it thereafter.
Monster, Fate/Zero, Mushi-shi, Guardian of the Sacred Spirit, Gurren Lagann, Welcome to the NHK, Wolf's Rain, X and Neon Genesis Evangelion.
I also am looking forward to watching Last Exile :)
(Btw not a big fan of ecchi ^^)
Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou,High School DxD, Sword Art Online.
try watching these 3 animes to :D
I don't think you will find any animes that are just like GTO, but if you are looking for a great anime with the same humoristic value i think you should try out Welcome to the NHK. It is just as well praised as GTO and I think it should live up to it's reputation.
~Soul Eater
~Sword Art Online
~Accel World
~Guilty Crown
~Mirai Nikki
~Magi: Labyrinth of Magic
Just some other pretty good anime that you might wanna watch , and have left out of your list.
