Is Your Favorite Anime Better than Everyone Else's? (Useless Thread #38)

SO, what I mean by the title is that do you genuinely think your favorite anime is the best anime?
Because I got to be honest, when first coming into anime, I thought Attack on Titan was the best anime and for those who didn't have it in their top ten didn't know what they were talking about. (pure normie energy right there)
So there's alot of people who think and say, "x is the best anime of all time", and it just so happens to that "x" was their favorite anime.
Do you guys think like that?

Now I do not. Sure, I'll always love Attack on Titan, I genuinely think it has earned its way to be known as one of the greats, but I don't think I'm thinking that my favorite anime is better than everyone else's. It's not like I'll be checking to see if Attack on Titan is in their favorites to judge if they have good tastes or not (it's still nice to see an aot fan every now and then though) Every person has their own interests, that's what makes them, them.
(of course, if it’s gintama or one piece, then you guys win by default)
Here's a random short vid:

My favourite anime was so good MAL deleted it.

So I just say Madoka Magica is pretty damn good and seems like a global top 10 whatever that means.

No. My favourite anime is Bleach and that is FAR from the best anime out there. The plot is riddled from countless plot holes and asspulls that come out of nowhere and some of the most meme tier "twists"of all time. The writing is all over the place. Not to mention the anime adaptation constantly interrupts the action with original "filler" content that can go on for 40 episodes at a time also the Fullbring arc exists loool. And I can't wait for the final arc to get adapted next(?) year, which is easily one of the worst arcs in any anime/manga I experienced. A complete fucking clusterfuck. I'd have to be retarded to refer to Bleach as the best anime out there. But its definitely my favourite.

no, Love is War isn't the best anime and I've seen anime that are "objectively better" then love is war, but it still is my favourite anime by a long shot.

Has a 8.60 mean score

Lol it's the opposite to me. If I see (especially multiple seasons of) AoT in someone favorites, then I tend to be biased thinking they are fucking newbies/normies, so I should not take their opinions seriously.

I don't even think that my favorite anime (Assassination Classroom) is the best anime out there, but it's the one that's definitely stuck with me the most over my anime journey, and my growth too in life over the past few years. And I have an emotional connection with this that is hard to recreate with any other series even after close to 5 years since I started anime as a whole. Helps that I've seen it 12 times and it's probably even better than when I felt connected with it the first time.

I mean to be fair it is pretty boring to go onto someone's page and see "favorites; One Piece, Naruto, Attack On Titan, FMAB".

But on the other hand, Attack on Titan was pretty good, so I can't hate

It's not like a care if they got review bombed, I just used an example of why I think it's the best.

But I like fruits 😭😭😭

But fair point, I mean, even if FMAB was only top five, it still would show people thought pretty darn highly of it

Also, yes king, don't care, give us nothing 😂

There is no "best" anime any more than there is a "best" food, color, school of architecture, or mode of transportation.

There is best for you and that's about it in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah I know what you mean. But what this guy is implying is that if you have Attack on Titan as a favorite, your taste is trash, you ain’t worth even considering to be taken seriously, and you have a mindset equivalent to a flip-flop. (pretty much sums up elitists right there) You know those generic snotty nobles and royals in anime? That’s pretty much what they are in the anime community.

Gintama is my favorite anime of all time and every time I rewatch I love it more than before. But when it comes to comedy, it's entirely subjective so not like everyone out there enjoyed it as much as I did. Great cast is the main reason why I love the show though.

Btw, I personally think Attack on Titan is a good series. Although I already finished the manga, I'm looking forward to what's coming in S4 part 2.

But , for me it's best anime of all time, but at the end of the day I can't say for others because gintama's comedy is subjective

But yes I am damn sure that gintoki is best shōnen character of all time

While I have not seen anything better than Clannad and don't think I will for a long while I'm still inclined to believe something may surpass it tho I've got an extreme biasness to Clannad. Baby Steps did come close so I just need to dig deeper into some more hidden gems.

Back when I first watched Clannad (After Story), if I entered a profile and didn't see it with a 10 I would already leave the page hahaha But now I understand that it's not flawless and that everyone has their own favorite anime that represents something for them. (But I still measure people's taste by their rate on Clannad AS, maybe I should stop doing this hahaha)

No it isn't. Oregairu is my favorite anime of all time and I still see some of the flaws from the anime. Is it one of the best anime's I've seen? Yes, but I know that their are definitely better anime's than it. Everyone has their own bias to a series which is why there is such a diverse amount of people that value their favorite and best anime's together or separate.

No I cannot say that for sure.My favourite anime is Code Geass.But it is best in my view.

It is better than most anime but I have seen a few people who give it 1/10 but give a 10/10 to SAO which I consider the worst anime.

This thread can be interepted in two ways

1)X anime is in my favorite but I can see it has flaws. Y anime is in someone's favorite. But i found y anime boring, non of the characters from y anime came in my top 100 favorite characters, I cringed at certain plot point of y anime and It took me 10 years to complete that anime.
"BUT OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING ANIME Y IS A MASTERPIECE AND IT FLAWLESS AND BETTER THAN ANIME X WHICH I ENJOYED MORE"

I don't speak this language, this kind of thing is way over me

My Favorite section = 10 anime out of anime which I have rated 10/10. I think my favorite anime is better than all anime I have watched thats why I kept it in my favorite (what other people keep in their favorite hardly matter to me).

If thats what u were asking.

2)Other interpretation is if this thread is asking if I discriminate people based on there favorite.
Answer is NO, I only discriminate people who speak troll language

I don't think so, I haven't watched a lot of anime, so there might be better ones out there than mine, I do like my fave list tho lol. I don't even know what's the best anime is, if I say FMAB, I don't think it is, I like the series and I did enjoyed it but it doesn't fit in my fave list, there's probably no perfect anime, its just that people have their own interest and loves what they watched same as me, that's why other people can say their anime is better than everyone else.
