Honestly, Monster being out of the top 30 is a travesty. You wouldn't find any anime like Monster in the current top 30.
Indeed there is only one anime called Monster. A keen observation right there.

I was commenting on the uniqueness of Monster. Not so keen intellect right there.

At least Monster is very close to being in the top 30 unlike Gankutsuou which isn't even in the top 100 even though it's as good a mystery thriller as Monster.

Monster it #6 in manga so find some consolation in that.

[size=10]20th Century Boys is better anyway :>.
I probably regret this post by now.

Katanagatari. Great characters, story, soundtrack.

Indeed. It was pretty cute until I cried my eyes out.

JoJo's bizarre adventure should be top 30.

I really don't get the appeal of it.

My pick would be Spice and Wolf.
If you generalize, you're wrong.

I've been meaning to read 20th Century Boys. I've already read the Monster manga and liked what I read but 20th Century Boys is so long. >__>
uh it's 22 volumes, Monster is 18 so it's not THAT much longer..

unless the chapters are like super long or smth, idk, haven't read it

Do it!

It's better than Monster, for me at least.

The length only bothered me in the last third of the manga, before that I was super addicted, reading more than 7 volumes in one setting.

Meanwhile, Gits: Sac isn't even top 100. 2nd Gig is higher, but at least one should be top 30 imo.

Will probably do it the next time I'm in a manga mood. Have way too many things to read right now.


I am reading 20th Century Boys right now (on volume 14), and it is definitely worth it. Very intriguing and even moving.

There's plenty of anime in the top 30 that want to be taken seriously but expect you to turn your brain off. This isn't unique to Monster.

3rd recc for 20th Century Boys. I was legitimately sad when I learned there was no anime for it, had me hooked from start to finish and the amount of foreshadowing/checkov's gunning in it is ridiculous

20th CB had the best 1st 2/3rds of any manga

so much so that even the problems it had later on couldn't diminish it (much)

I've been thinking about reading 20th CB for a while now, seeing a lot of people talking about it and saying good things about it kinda motivates me to read a few chapters and see how good it's.

Yeah, tbh JJBA is only good if you like it. Otherwise, it's a weird show that can't appeal to everyone.

I'd say it appeals for most people. I'm definitely not included, but most otaku like it.

Ghost in the Shell Stand alone complex can't get into the top 30 because the first season is ridiculously boring. It is so far the most boring episodic show I've watched.
Ghost in the shell 2nd gig, Baccano and shinsekai yori should be up there. Why does mal hate movies based on anime? (ex. Cowboy Bebop and Steins; Gate)

The only thing I find weird in clannad is their big eyes. o.o
Unpopular opinion but Jojo stardust and bizzare is definitely a stupid parody series imo.

I'd rather not this show gets too much popularity or it'll get all the hate that Clannad and AnoHana get for being teenager mainstream tearjerkers.

2nd Gig no doubt has the tighter narrative, but I preferred the first season's experimental nature. And yeah, the Laughing Man was far more interesting than the refugee situation imo.

Clannad is bad. After Story was pretty good but had a weird pace for some people.. VN trumps both of them completely though.

AnoHana could have been a 3-4, maybe a 5 episode anime at most, and everyone knows it.
The AnoHana movie was pretty disappointing too.
You'd expect a nice summary of the whole anime put into a movie, but no:
It's just crummy flashbacks that no one will remember a few hours after watching it.

1/10 would not recommend.

- Hater done n out


Jokes aside, there really are a lot of bad points that merit the hate. Most just hate because of popularity, but there are legitimate reasons as well.

Both shows have a fair share of problems. I'm biased for AnoHana because I liked it more but the other tearjerker shows that are less known such as Cross Game and Major don't get shit on a lot because they're not popular. So what I mean by I hope Nagiasu doesn't get too popular is because I value it and I don't like it getting too much hate.

Not many of the ones that are actually in it right now. Although, a lot of them are varying levels of good.

The top 30?

I'm assuming this top thirty is already host to legends such as Sazae, Maruko, Youkai Watch, Doraemon, and Conan, so I don't particularly have any suggestions.

If Sazae is the Japanese Simpsons then that means half of its seasons suck so no top 30 for dat trash

Because this seems to be one of those "what anime do you like the most" threads

the Clannad series and shaft's Monogatari series

why? because i liked them.. like everyone else in this thread suggesting also because something something objectively the best.
