If I were to rank the ones I’ve seen:

1. Attack on Titan - my favourite anime. Season 3 part 2 and 4 are 10/10 but overall it’s 9/10

2. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - the best of the popular shounen 8/10

3. Hunter x Hunter - genuinely don’t understand why this is so beloved 5/10

I’ve seen it. I watched 75 episodes of the most mediocre shit I’ve ever seen and then dropped it. Even if the next arc is 10/10, which I’m not watching anyway, that doesn’t save 75 episodes of bad

He dropped it right before the Chimera ant arc (easily the best shonen arc ever) so probably that's why. But I still don't understand his rating either since he has seen the yorknew city arc. But I guess everyone has their own opinion

I was pretty disappointed with greed island too (not to say that it wasn't good but compared to the other hxh arcs it's mid) however I still believe that it's the second most important arc in the series right after the Chimera ant arc just because Gon starts to undergo his character development and also because it was the perfect setup for the Chimera ant arc.

Yea i agree,Greed Island wasn't bad, ngl Gon,Killua and Hisoka teamup vs Razor was one of the best moments in HxH and it was a setup so that Gon can meet Kite, but the starting of Greed Island lost all the suspence and mystery which Yorknew had.This is the same case with all HxH arcs, they start off slow but go on to become one of the bests in anime

It's funny cause I genuinely don't understand why Attack on Titan is so beloved too. I don't think we'll ever understand how people can have such different opinions.

It's Bots, some people have too much time on their hands.

Whenever something challenges it, it gets a horde of bots giving the rival series a 1.

I’ll tell you why. Any anime that come close to beating this or even surpasses it, there are people with fake accounts that go and give the anime a 1. For example, fruits basket and gintama both beat this in the past few months but we’re dragged down by fake accounts giving them a low score.

I could go all in depth about why I personally love this show, but there'd be little point rn. As for why it remains at top- two primary reasons.
A very well made show that any Rational person wouldn't score below 7. Universal likeability matters more than you might think.
A weirdly devoted fanbase that bombs and bots the scores occasionally, for whatever reason.

As for the poll, I haven't seen HxH yet so can't vote; but FMAB is definitely my favorite among the other three.

I could make a case for Part 1, which I found really well done (keeping the fillers aside, ofc). But Shippuden got seriously sloppy around halfway through.

Many animes have passed FMAB in score, but FMAB fans bombed them with 1/10 ratings so FMAB would go back to number 1. Don’t get me wrong, I think FMAB is great, but FMAB fans can’t bear to see their anime not at the top, so they put it there artificially

Out of the 3 (haven't seen Death Note yet) I'd say HxH is the best one. Something in FMA:B and AOT both fell a bit flat in comparison imo, they're still amazing though don't get me wrong.

And I think it's definitely because of the fanbase that's keeping the score so high lol

There were many more like Your Name, AOT, Clannad AS, Owarimonogatari S2, and most of the Gintama seasons (including the final), were dethroned FMA but got sabotaged. Visit the anime forums of those and see the history.

Well its better and people like it more. It makes people mad about it like the guy above me. He is obsessed with its score. Those anime which did surpass it have a niche community of fans who rate them high. They never stood a chance anyway if more people were to watch them. And aot s4? Looks like some people don't have the common sense ittakes to realise that s4 was hated by many and ratings keep lowering with time. AoT s302 >>>>>> s4p1. S4p1 had no chance.

I'm a bit unconventional here :)

The above mentioned anime series are great (except code geass which I can't tolerate at all and hxh , which I haven't watched yet) but imo certainly not the best ones

For me the best ones are
1. Hibike! Euphonium
2. Fruba
3. Clannad after story
4. Steins;Gate
5. Serial experiment lain
6. Monster
7. Sora yori mo toi basho

I didn’t watch chimera ant because I’ve assumed that since I didn’t like the other arcs people called good I wouldn’t like it either. Yorknew City had 2 good scenes, one with Kurapika vs the big guy and one with the classical music with Chrollo, but the rest was just uninteresting to me. I didn’t like that the plot became all about protecting a random girl that hadn’t appeared before and I still didn’t care much about the main characters, so introducing loads more side characters which they do in every arc was always annoying because I didn’t care about them at all and don’t even remember most of them. The Yorknew City arc was undoubtedly the best one but it was a 6/10 arc in the midst of 4-5/10 ones.

Everything was so drawn out with random challenges and new characters all the time so I didn’t enjoy it at all.

imo most scores are a bit tilted, since most ppl binge watch a weekly series, messing up the pacing, and the scores are never objective(yes, there's also the toxic community, but that goes both ways)

Because it has the most toxic fandom (Not all the people obviously). Anyone is free to like whatever they want but giving other anime a 1/10 score just because it surpasses your favourite anime on a website. What kind of stupidity is that? It keeps happening every time any other show comes on top and nothing has been done about it by MAL too. It will keep happening in the future too. But someday, some anime will surpass it no matter how much 1/10 rating you give it. What will these people do then? I hope people understand it is a stupid thing to do and start appreciating other good anime too.
