Demon Slayer? Really?
What's the lore? Zenitsu and his penchant for screaming?

I voted for Made in Abyss but Attack on Titan is good too. Haven't read enough of Berserk to vote for it.

For me the easy answer is Twelve Kingdoms. The mythology, politics and culture of the fantasy world is detailed and fascinating. The only problem is it gets confusing trying to keep track of the terminology where most of the words begin with the letter K.

Demon Slayer being here is a funny joke.

I haven't read or watched Berserk, but my guess is that it puts everything else on the poll deeply to shame, based on what I've heard about it, to the point it's like trying to compare Shakespeare to Twilight.

Shingeki no Kyojin is universally known as peak fiction because it has the best lore/story, so that's my vote.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

None of these, at least for me.
But I haven't watched anything in anime so far, which really stood out story- or lorewise.

None of those even have a detailed lore. Lore means details about the world or about the events that occur in the world that are somehow relatedto the main story. None of those have any such details. An example of highly detailed lore would be LoTR or ASoIaF.

Well as obvious for me it is bleach, for me bleach is like a dark souls of anime, some might agree some don't, none of other anime didn't make me willingly go deeper into stuff and universe lore/analyses, despite the mistakes and plot holes which each anime might have including bleach which has some, despite the flaws I still consider bleach as top 1 of the lore in anime industry.

Berserk, no doubt. Out of the offered ones anyways. Rezero and Kimetsu no Yaiba are average mass-exposition anime, Eva relies on "because it looks cool" logic, Made in Abyss is okay but really overrated IMO. SnK is decent for a shounen but nothing else.

Love Kingdom, it's actually the only manga I've read as of yet but I gotta say lore is one thing it does not have much of. You don't really know much about the past or the other countries. It gives very little info about a lot of stuff like their different cultures and everything. There are tons of tribes, apparently weapons that legendary and even info about the past six great generals we don't get much detail on.

not an iption but i though LOGH lore was pretty crazy, the whole backstory behind several emperors, how Earth was destroyed, the funation of the Alliance an how it slowly lost the principles on which it was created an how a single man killed like 4 billion people, i think Rudolph may have the single highest kill count in all anime so far

The best one is Shinsekai yori, I only have a little doubt about that.

Neon Genesis Evangelion and AOT are quite great with their lore.

if Lore means the fictional history in an anime, then Demon Slayer could be argued to have one. The origins of the demons, demon slayers and the slayer examinations would probably be the lore of the anime. It may not be that great and not that exciting but it seems to count. after all, DS contains its own historical events that make the story.

if that's not the meaning you are looking at, then I literally don't know what's going on then.

yes, it doesn't make sense and at the same time it does make sense (depends on your level of understanding)....some of the ep titles were just Psychological topics and debates (e.g. ep 20- Oral Stage. That's one of the stages of development in Psychodynamics proposed by Sigmund Freud) I am not sure if Theology can play a distinct role in understanding Evangelion but I realised some religious themes going on there (not just limited to Christianity but Judaism as well)

What? How the heck does Berserk have the best lore out of these horrible poll choices? Am I missing something from the chapters I have yet to read, people don't know what lore means, or are people voting for Berserk just for the heck of it like always? Berserk is good, but its strength is definitely not in its lore.
