Made just for fun and for anyone that's curious on which series have held the title.



(Ordered chronologically from the very first (or only) time they became first)

a compilation of anime you could convince your friends to watch, anime that doesn't even look like anime, or anime you grew up with because the concept of anime didn't exist yet. push your friends to watch (or admit they watched) anime :D

Was looking at some fan art one day and it came to my attention that fanart (and very good fanart) is an extremely good indicator of how important an anime is. So taking away the fanart factor from this list. Here is a list of very important anime.

This list is based on many objective factors.

Removed:
- Hongse Jiangshan: Huangma Fenghuo; Jingzhong Baoguo - not very important.
- Haikyuu!! - whilst there are indeed hot boys, it has come to my attention that many anime are similar (with whole genres too). Even if this was hyped by normies.
Added:
- SAO, Fate/stay night, Ling Feng Zhe

Anime about penguins.

Segue: Whenever I think of penguins I remember Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, from the Batman and Benedict Cumberbatch's BBC documentary about penguins. I just found out that Benedict Cumberbatch's birthday is July 19th while making this stack. So I guess a very belated happy birthday to him; it's still July, though. Imagine him voicing a penguin like Pingu or any other anime character. Wouldn't it be nice to have him in the DB? I'd probably add him to my favorites.

Do you like pinguins ? You do ? Well then, this is the right place for you!

Based on comments from the community, I present a list of animes which have a peculiar appearance which caused most to confuse them with western cartoons.

This is a list of the Most Unique Anime at least for the time it came out. Anime that tells a story in a completely new way or popularizes a gene or theme are more likely to be featured. This list has an extra preference for anime with strange plot and unsettling elements, including anything considered edgie. Plot and Message are valued highly, especially is expressed in a completely new way. Anime that is commentary on a gene or trope are also preferred on list. Commonly features stories that are dark or cruel in nature, but there are plenty of anime on the list that are not.

List is ordered with a balance between uniqueness and user score.

I plan on keeping this up to date. Please reach out if you feel an anime should be added/removed and why. Thank you :)

Every anime Kenny Lauderdale has reviewed (or at least talked about)!

I've certainly seen more anime that contain a part that has winter/snow, I just don't remember. If you know more, let me know.

Series that were surprising to learn there's an anime adaptation for it.
Mainly includes anime based on Western media & video games.

Fun stats: Gintama has the most entries for a single series with 10 that have cracked the top 10. That's every main installment of the series except the Love Incense arc and Semi-Final, which were both just short OVA series to adapt a few leftover chapters of the manga.

Madhouse and Sunrise/Bandai Namco Pictures (I'm counting them as the same since they're basically the same studio under a different name) are tied for most entries of any studio on this list with 14 each. In distant second is a three way tie between Kyoto Animation, Bones and Studio Ghibli, each with 5.

There's yet to be a Josei anime to reach the top 10, however the closest one ever got was Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, with a score of 8.95 at #16 at its peak.

In 2017, a total of 17 titles had a score of a 9.00 or higher at the same time.

Of the 88 anime that have been in the top 10, only 17 have a corresponding source material in the top 10 manga (which you can check out below ;)), and that's including One Piece Movie 4 which doesn't actually adapt anything from the One Piece manga or light novels. Also worth noting that of those 17, none of them are from beyond 2012, or the second part of this list. The last anime in the Top 10 to adapt a manga (or light novel in this case) from that Top 10 was season 2 of Fate/Zero.

This list might be particularly useful to people doing the yearly anime watching challenge.

For franchises, only one entry is included - assume that any sequels/spin-offs have the same source.
