Damn, ign really thinks Monthly girls' nozaki kun and MHA are better than AoT and Steins Gate.

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth.
Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime.

That's a weird list. Too much shounen for my taste, and the lack of Steins;Gate is seriously concerning. Didn't think Nozaki-kun was that popular, but I actually really liked that show, so whatever. Figures FMAB would be at the top again lol.
90% of the the internet's problems come from people treating fictional people like they're real and real people like they're fictional.

Apparently this list was put together by multiple people in the staff with each person picking their top 1 or 2 anime so that may explain why it feels so random. Its pretty clear their staff is mostly casual fans of anime hence all the dub-friendly shows and shonen yet no Gintama.

How is Jojo stardust crusaders here over both Diamond is unbreakable and golden wind??? Lol

Alright, let's go:

2- Hunter X Hunter
3- Cowboy Bebop
4- Neon Genesis Evangelion
5- Hajime no Ippo
6- Yu Yu Hakusho
7- Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
8- Samurai Champloo
9- Code Geass
10- Mob Psycho 100
11- Devilman Crybaby
12- Baccano!
13- Revolutionary Girl Utena
14- Monster
15- Kill la Kill
16- My Hero Academia

Dang, I feel like I'm being unfair to some of the shows below 10ish, but what can I do, this IGN list is strong (mostly their top 10, the rest is a bit iffy).

Choosing how to rank 2-6 was also really difficult, as these are all some of my favs.

IGN isn't even credible considering they have thousands of no name reviewers that are normies in all subjects even their video game reviews. There is no consistency just a group of random nobody giving their opinion that doesn't reflect the company's as a whole.

that list is hot dog water. keep in mind that IGN is a company, so they use lists and reviews to appeal to their audience, not what the quality truly is. I knew they would give Joker a 10/10 like a week before their review came out, because people who follow IGN like the Joker

2) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
3) Cowboy Bebop
4) Code Geass
5) Devilman: Crybaby
6) Stardust Crusaders
7) Samurai Champloo
8) One Piece (only read the first 73 chapters of the manga, so subject to move)
9) Neon Genesis Evangelion (only watched 3 episodes, so subject to move)
10) Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinju
11) Naruto: Shippuden
12) Sailor Moon

Cool that they represented stuff like Rakugo Shinju but not cool that they excluded Attack on Titan. Also, Stardust Crusaders of all Jojo parts?

Idk man but there's my rankings

Its not that these lists are bad its just that they're all so basic, like it seems they just copy and paste from others. This one had some variety like Ouran host club and showa genroku so I guess its better than watchmojo but still pretty bad.

"Picking just 25 titles was really difficult, but our team of anime experts eventually came up with this list. We took several things into consideration when choosing our 25: Did the anime leave its mark on the culture in a meaningful way? Did they influence the industry and genre? And, of course, did we just like them?"

Tell these experts who chose this list to jump from the window XD Some experts selected 25 titles and readers had to organize them from worst to best. But seriously you can say anything about AOT, but there are only several animes which infulenced industry and left mark on the culture as much as Attack on titan.
