| I hear this topic getting discussed very often in gaming: If you were stranded on a deserted island, and you could only bring 5 games with you to play until you die, which ones would it be? Logic aside, it's a fun debate. I've never heard of this being discussed in anime though. So, which 5 anime would you pick to watch from now until forever? |
| I would choose my personal top 5: Nisekoi Konohana Kitan KonoSuba Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai |
| One Piece is all I'd need. Along with a box of tissue to collect the emotional seepage from every orifice on my physical form; including my urethra from seeing Nami's jugs post-time skip. |
| Hunter x Hunter, since its infinitly rewachable Serial Experiments Lain, since i never get tired of it Haruhi, for when I want to remember how it feels to have friends Cardcaptor sakura, for when i want to feel comfy And all of xxxHolic, for when I want to change aestethics i think the best strat is to bring one piece or a big shounen but I feel I would get very bored with only watching shounen untill I die |
| Hmm, interesting thought, like Desert Island Discs on BBC R4 (they ask what music album & book you'd take to a desert island). As you're going to be stuck you want something that's going to take up your time, so my choices would be: One Piece Monogatari Series To Love Ru Fairy Tail Hunter X Hunter 2011 They may not be my favourites and I haven't even seen One Piece yet, but think they'd keep me entertained whilst on a desert island. |
 |
| Hunter X Hunter Gurren Lagann Cowboy Bebop Madoka NHK |
  Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever! |
| Very interesting post, OP! 1. Ghost in the Shell (I'm assuming everything from the 1995 movie to the ARISE series stands as one long story) 2. Welcome to the NHK 3. Fate/Stay Night OR Fate/Zero 4. Golden Days 5. Cowboy Bebop |
| Goblin Slayer, No Game No Life, Shigatsu wa kimi no uso, Dororo and Trinity Seven would be the choices for me i guess. |
| Angel Beats! Little Witch Academia HenSemi (TV) Lucky Star Urusei Yatsura |

Isn't monogatari kinda cheating though? I mean, what's the line between each individual anime? |
| Obviously my top 5, so: SAO, HxH, Steins;Gate, Gintama and Death Note. Considering how much long Gintama is, I would have a long time to spend on watching them xD |
 |
| Made in abyss Gintama Asobi Asobase Hibike! euphonium series Watamote Or I will just pick five anime that are long and high rated, it doesn't matter if I've watched it or not. |
 |
| I'm bad at creating lists like this but I'd be taking Sounan Desu ka? for sure. |

|
| Basically my top 5, but swap Perfect Blue and Kite for Freezing and Elfen Lied. |

| Wait, if I had the electricity to watch anime on some device, wouldn't I also have some means to communicate with the outside world and be rescued from the island? As for my choice I would go with: Detective Conan - it's so long I don't don't know if I'd survive on that island to watch till the end (if it ever ends). Akatsuki no Yona - I wouldn't mind re-watching this a 1000 times over. Higurashi - I wish this would have a better adaptation but the one by DEEN isn't that bad expect for the character designs (at least looks better than the VN). And if I could swap one anime for its drama CDs then I'll take Kyo Kara Maoh drama CDs, only the ones that don't have Wolfram, I need my daily doze of Conrad to help me continue living there after all. Can't think of any other anime. |

| Instead of bringing 5 blu-ray sets of anime I'll jsut bring my 4 Terra byte external Hard drive with around 1000 different series on it. But if it were only 5 i'd go with: Gintama Series One Piece Steins;Gate Series Hunter x Hunter Monogatari Series (All because their quite long so i'll have a lot to watch before I get rescued or Killed, whichever comes first) |
 |
| City hunter Gurren lagann Jojo bizarre adventure Monogatari series K on I wanted to add berserk or hunter x hunter as well but realized that they would just be a constant that I would never see them end And evangelion has one of the most rewatchability for me but it would be too depressing in that situation |
JoyBoy_316Oct 26, 2019 9:55 AM
| Well obviously the ones in my favorites that i have already rewatched many times and still find them a masterpiece. 5cm per second Hunter x Hunter Shingeki no Kyojin Evangelion Girl's Last Tour |
 |
| 1. One Piece. There's so many episodes! 2. Detective Conan for the same reason. 3. Hunter x Hunter seems great and also have a lot of episodes. 4. Dr. Stone, for motivation and inspiration. 5. Jojo, just for laughs. |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| JoJo (even better if they eventually adapt all parts) Gintama Hajime no Ippo FMA franchise (which includes original and Brotherhood) Monogatari All have more than "100" average TV episode length series for each franchise, while being an enjoyable experience for me. |
 |
| 1)Ah! My Goddess 2)Usagi Drop 3)Chobits 4)ARIA 5)Kobato |
 |
| hunter x hunter because it’s not only the best thing i’ve ever watched but i’d never ever get tired of it. fairy tail because of all the characters and because it’s lengthy. blood lad because although it’s short it’s entertaining. boku no hero academia because i love the story and the characters. tokyo ghoul is just that good. |
| All of JoJo. I can rewatch it so many times. So i'll go with that one |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| The Toaru series Konosuba Yamato 2199 Rokujouma no Shinryakusha Haiyore Nyaruko-san |
| I'd bring Yakitate Japan, Shokugeki no Soma, and Chuuka Ichiban just so I can torture myself to death |
| My top 5: Mushishi Aoi Bungaku Initial D Psycho Pass Rainbow Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin If I can take sequels, films, ovas etc. I'd be perfectly okay with just taking Initial D. Eurobeat Island Party. |
  |
| One Piece and Detective Conan so that i can finally watch them and bonus points that they are ongoing never ending shows |
| one piece... i mean its not the best show but at least there is a billion episodes of it samurai champloo - dope sound track, great fighting fma: Brotherhood (if i could cheat, id take the first couple arcs of original fma along with it) Hajime no ippo series DR stone - maybe i learn something about how to make my island better. |
| https://combosmooth.itch.io/ - I make free-to-play browser games for PC and I sell pixel art animation here |
| An informative one that tells me how to survive on a deserted island because I have absolutely no survival skills/knowledge whatsoever. |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| Definitely sticking to some long forms for maximum entertainment: 1) Hunter x Hunter (2011) 2) One Piece 3) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 4) Naruto 5) My Hero Academia The first four are my tops anyway, so sounds like a good, isolated time to me. |
Have you done your punches of gratitude today? |
| Probably long running shounen anime like: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Naruto D.Gray-man Bleach Dragon Ball Z/ Super At least then it'd take me longer to get through them and thus longer before I go crazy from boredom. |
| Interstella5555, I'll never get tired of it ; One Piece, have just read it : good and long story, perfect time killer ; and long series I like or haven't watched or finished yet like Hunter x Hunter, Saint Seiya, Cardcaptor Sakura or Dragon Ball. |
| I think for me it would be: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ALL) Gintama (ALL) Hunter x Hunter (2011) Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu |
 |
| #1 Konosuba #2 Sounan Desuka (Literally Teaches about Survival, and its funny and wholesome) #3 Naruto Shippudden #4 Blade & Soul #5 Bleach Edit-These aren't necessarily my favorites. Just things I could constantly rewatch without getting old. |
