| Well I checked out IMDb's top anime : https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=tv_series&num_votes=1000,&genres=animation&keywords=anime&sort=user_rating,desc (p.s 2-3 entries of the list are western cartoons ; ignore those). I've to say there were some interesting titles there as well. Also there were the MAL's top anime as well. Also ratings of some anime actually reflect on the shows quality better than MAL. You thoughts...? |

| it's a slightly better list than mal tbh the thing is with that list is that series's seasons are all placed together whereas mal doesn't follow that rule anyways death note being top 10 is good stuff but vinland saga, cowboy bebop, demon slayer on top 10 is a big yikes |

| Interesting list. I really need to see silver fang at some point. I just realized I haven't added all my watched anime. I need to help lotgh get to number 1. Conan and macross being that high is a pleasant surprise. |

That's sheer irony..... wouldn't you say? |
|
| A decent list but that thing at no. 47, is that anime? |
  |
| 36. Boku no Hero 29. Code Geass 3. Death Note It's much, much, much worse than MAL's top 100. That being said, at least Berserk and Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) are ranked higher. |

| That's a surprising list, but...Ginga: Nagareboshi gin is 7th ? What's that anime ? Never heard of it |
| I feel most of them are just popular, you can tell this by animes who aren't at MAL top 50 list like Dragon Ball and Z, Naruto, Saint Seiya, Samurai X. People who made this list are probably boomers who watched most of those animes on TV. |

| "I've to say there were some interesting titles there as well" - I wonder what the OP meant by that...everting sounds pretty familiar to me except Ginga: Nagareboshi gin and Rilakkuma to Kaorusan.

| I prefer the MAL top 100. Though there are a few rankings in imdb that I can agree with that is different from MAL, there are a few fan favourites that are highly ranked in MAL but score lower in imdb which people may consider a blasphemy. MAL has more votes/members which makes them more reliable and accurate (doesn't mean they are reliable and accurate, it just makes the more reliable and accurate than imdb imo) |
 |
| Avatar is higher rated than fmab; this makes me very happy https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417299/ |
| Not enough votes for most of the shows to be even considered credible of the ranking. That being said, even with lower number of votes, I think I like this list the best: http://www.redditanimelist.net/ The only shows in the Top 50 I have not seen are LoGH (#1), Mob Psycho 100 II (#11), Ashita no Joe 2 (#23) and Vinland Saga (#29) but my experience of over two decades as an anime fan says that they could be worth their ranking in that list. Cannot say the same for IMDb's list. |

| well at least it's not 12 different versions of gintama lol |
| Rilakkuma to Kaoru ranked 50th? Nice but other than that it looks like top anime list made by 15 yo boy who saying I'm mature now |
| It's way worse than MAL's top Anime! Normies are rating animated series just based on appeal and they clearly don't know a lot of series and don't like what is good but different from the norms.....and this is happening because of the lack of investment in the medium...that's not taken as seriously as live action. 2 DBZ entries and fucking Naruto are better rated than Monster, Berserk 97, Mob Psycho, GITS Stand Alone Complex, Monogatari Series: Second Season, Fate Zero, Psycho-Pass, Planetes and other way better series!! I have a headache. |

| What are you people saying, both Macross and Robotech appear, Dragon Ball appears twice, the same thing with Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Kai is there as well, there are series which are not anime such as Castlevania and Swat Kats, hell even Yu-Gi-Oh! Abriged is there. How can you say that list is better than MAL? It's not. |
| IMDB is more like western audience rating , they give 9 and 8 like for anything , however i think it's the same between MAL and IMDB many rating make sense and many do not . |
  |
| A much better top than MAL that's for sure They also give DBZ and Naruto the respect they deserve, HxH 1999 is not that far of HxH 2011 and there aren't 100 Gintama entries flooding the top 20 |

| Another list with no Madoka Magica in the top 100, another sad day as a Madoka fan. |

| Should I troll in the troll bait threads? It is kinda idiotic to be logical in the troll bait threads. Well, it will depend on my mood. |
| IMDd is less focused towards seasonal anime but mal's list feels more representative |

| Kimetsu no Yaiba at No 9? That anime shouldn't even be on that list. A good time to nuke the entire list. |
| Good list. Much better than the MAL list |
 |
Robotech is how ADV localized Macros's name. https://myanimelist.net/anime/1088/Macross |
| little better than MAL but i still wholeheartedly disagree with it. Naruto before Monster is just not where my taste is at. |
 |
| I am just glad that future boy Conan is in 24th position. It is great but is mostly ignored because how old it is. |
| Definitely worse than MAL’s Dumbfounded why people even think otherwise (probably cause their favorite show is ranked higher, or that Gintama no longer dominates the top of the list lol). The fact that not even 30% of shows on there have more than 50k votes makes it pretty unreliable and biased. While on MAL, nearly half of the shows on the top 50 have over 500k votes. It’s basically WAY more of a “popularity contest” on there than it is on here (not saying MAL’s isn’t either). |
| Hmm, says it's a list of TV anime series, but has a 110-episode OVA at #2. I'm surprised that there's a fair amount of modern titles on there; I expected it to be more of a museum of tastes from 10-15+ years ago. Sure, a few mainstream titles are higher-ranked than we'd expect, but that goes with the territory of a non-anime-focused site. Much respect to classic 90s anime Swat Kats at #64, as well. Reinhard said: Robotech is how ADV localized Macros's name. https://myanimelist.net/anime/1088/Macross Robotech was put together by Carl Macek and Harmony Gold in the 80s, before ADV was even a thing. ADV just distributed Robotech DVDs later on, as they also did with the uncut/original versions of SDF Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada. And I think it's telling that the Robotech critics have nothing to say about the entry at #74, which took out nearly all the original music, redubbed it with a completely different script for the sake of comedy, integrated footage from other titles, and cut out huge parts of the runtime, all without any authorizations from or payments to the content owners. That's just as bad or worse than whatever Robotech did, yet it's almost universally beloved in the anime community. |

That being said, at least Berserk and Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) are ranked higher. Are you seriously comparing boku no hero with death note??!! Death note is masterpiece with '0' trash shounen MC character and unnecessary fanservice... And for code geass, lelouch may seem smart, but most of his strategies and tactics work behind the scenes,,,,its like, he orders the troops some positions and the black knights magically win, you don't see stuff for your own....you see plans being made and strategies working in Death note in front of you.. And not to mention, code geass lacks smart competition like L...its like lelouch is fighting idiots!! Death note is far superior to code geass...and Bnha doesnt even stand in the league.. My point is that none of those series deserves their place, not that they are similar. Death Note is a good show but it's extremely flawed to have the third place, its rating in MAL (#58) is much better imo. And yeah death note is much better than code gayass, at least we can agree on that. |

White Fang would be relatedly more recognizable for the movie going fans that lets say Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. But yes, avid fans hyper-voted it...not that's uncommon for MAL.

| Terrible list.Not enough Gintama.There should be atleast nine Gintama seasons in the top 10. |
| It’s cool that Death Note is at a 9.0 and all, but yea, mal is much better lol. |
