What are other episodes of anime that have unanimous praise on MAL?
Based more on a CONSENSUS rather than individual opinion.

CURRENT LIST: *Accurate as of June 2017*
96.72% - Clannad After Story - Episode 18
96.95% - Haikyuu!! Second Season - Episode 24

________________________________________
PLEASE NOTE that many people may score the LAST episode of a series based on their overall impression/score of the ENTIRE anime, rather than only on the merits of the last episode alone.

So basically, the last episode of an anime can be mediocre, but if the series is excellent overall, some people may rate the final episode as excellent.

Just want to see if there's any other episodes on MAL that are such highly rated by the community.

Also helps to see if there's any hidden gems I still haven't seen yet.

There are threads on individual episodes for most series on MAL, in each of which there is a poll where you vote on how much you like the episode out of five stars. OP wants to compile a list of the most liked episodes based on this.


What's the difference?

Okay, it seems like I got it for the first time, I just thought it would be impossible, so I thought I misunderstood something.

Oh my god, this would take a lot of time.

Had to google episode 22 honestly. But ok its the episode were they kiss and thats fine in my opinion

Shingeki no Kyojin episode 21 was just a blast.

That was the first episode that came to mind when I saw this thread. 10/10 episode in an otherwise average show.

Though Re:Zero ep 15 probably has the most 5/5 votes numerically speaking

Nice Find!

I'm not using raw numbers are an indication since MAL progressively had more users over the years. But I need a minimum number otherwise you get episodes that are rated at like 5* with 10 votes...

First and foremost, the majority of people do not go on episode discussion boards...

Secondly, the rating system is beyond flawed.

Thirdly....no that's it, this is ridiculous!

The whole point is just to get an idea of the best out there... I'm not picking favourites. I thought it would be fun to create a list of best episodes based on MAL votes. Are these scientifically proven to be the best episodes... Of course not... Calm down.

Hell, I didn't know Re:Zero's episode 15 had that great of a positive response. Makes me want to go watch it again =D

I expected the episode where Mami died, Subaru's lengthy speech and Gatari S2 snail arc to have higher ratings.

Anyway, I'd say Shirobako episode 24.

Wow... a few anime I still have yet to watch that have great episodes. Good list to start working on =D

I also realized a scoring issue where people may be scoring the last episode as a reflection of the ENTIRE series rather than a score based solely on the last episode.

So I'll mark that in the OP.

My personal favorites are Monster eps. 9 and 29, Now and Then Here and There eps. 12 and 13, and Fate/Zero eps. 11 and 16...

But I'm okay with episode 18 of After Story being the top pick. That episode kicked me in the junk hardcore.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

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."

Nice list. Awesome. I knew BNHA 2 episode 10 will be there. That last part of Todoroki vs Izuku make me cum so hard.

The poll dominated by modern day anime. Modern day anime still very much alive it seems.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Aria the Origination eps 9 and 13 are both >95% but they're too old to have 750 votes. I honestly think you should lower that number a bit (400-500 seems more fair to me)

There's also a ton of highly-rated Gintama episodes in general. Episodes 36, 39 and 40 from the 2015 season are all >96% (but again a little bit short of 750 votes)

Also Kimi no Na wa's episode discussion thread is at 87.88% (2220 votes), and the second Gintama movie's is at 91.93% (694 votes)
