No. These 5 shows beat them out:

1. Daria (1997-2002)
2. BoJack Horseman (2014-2020)
3. The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
4. South Park (1997-)
5. Mythbusters (2003-2018)

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

Yes, my favourite live action isn't in my top 10
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Big Yes (Evangelion). Besides, I think I haven't watched a 3D Western show since Spartacus. I even watched an Eastern one a bit more recently (Densha Otoko).

I wouldn't say completely outclassed but there's some really great live actions out there but my favourite anime Gintama is just special to me ...

I wouldn't say all my favourite anime are better than all my favourite live action...it would be a mistake to say that..

I don't watch 3D shows at all. The only real-live actors I know are from Titanic.

Depends. My favorite TV show is The Big Bang Theory. If I want background noise or just turn off my thinking I watch this. I have to concentrate more to understand anime or at least to not miss the majority of the story.

No, I don't really consider my favourite Anime that highly even compared to other Anime, but I think it was the most consistently good & enjoyable.

My favourite TV show would be? F1? no... definitely prefer that more. Absolutely hate missing a race and I hate people or notifs spoiling the results for me.

Don't even care about the context, as a general rule I always pick anime no matter what. I watched more anime than tv shows at this point, like way way more, and tv shows still disappoint me more often wtf. :/ Maybe if they made more stuff like Severance or Black Mirror I would think differently.

My favorite live action show is It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. And while it's newer seasons might not be as strong for me, I consider it above every anime I've seen. That said, It's kinda pointless to compare animation to live action imo, since they're so different. I feel like I can compare at least one thing though, the comedy. I would 100% say I enjoy the comedy in Always Sunny far more than any anime, and even the comedy in most western cartoons. At it's best, the show is just that good.

I like my favorite Anime more than I like any other work of fiction ever produced in the history of mankind.

My favorite tv show outside of anime is probably Coupling (UK version) or some national sitcom I watched as a kid, but they cant compete against everything in my top 10.

Nothing in the MAL database can beat South Park.

Peak wise among multiple favorites, the discrepancy is further. Overall from start to finish, it's closer though

Yeah, I mean, anime is a television series, technically. But, I've found myself caring more about anime lately than live action stuff. I don't think there's anything live action that can top my favorite anime.

My favorite (Shouwa Genruko Rakugo Shinjuu) is bested by Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations; which is a show about food and travel. The later piqued my curiosity about the cuisine and cultures of other parts of the world. Plus, Bourdain himself is quite endearing as a host. He's a big reason why I try out as many different dishes as possible, and influenced me to travel and witness other societies.

Though, Rakugo is right up there with No Reservations. For fictional television shows, Rakugo would be my top pick.

Yes and no.
My favorite real life action (or better saying: my favorite book series atm) is The Witcher series, my favorite western animated series is Arcane and my favorite anime might be AoT and like a lot a bunch of others.
So it's maybe on par, but feeling-wise maybe it's AoT > Arcane > Witcher. But still love them all and I also enjoy some other live action and western animated series a lot too.

Not all anime or even my favorite anime, but yugioh have done this. Yugioh is literally my favorite form of fiction, i like it better then any movie, show, game or comic i've read. It was such a huge deal to me as a kid and as an adult, i still love it and can come up with a ton of things to talk about with it.

Yes, my favourite anime and show in general is Attack on Titan. The closest live action show would be Stranger Things.

I watch very little TV. So my current favourite anime is, in my eyes superior to any other anime and TV show.
