Basically the title. How will you rank the animes mentioned here. Which one is the best and which one isn't so good and why?

Edit 1 (Jun30): My motive behind this poll was to decide what anime to watch next. The animes in this poll are basically the ones that I have downloaded and are available on my PC right now. After seeing the poll results and reading the posts of everyone, I've come to decide that I'm going to start watching Clannad next. Thanks everyone.

Edit 2(July 13): Finished Clannad. Not gonna watch a sad anime for at least a year now. My next anime to watch was gonna be Violet Evergarden but now it will have to wait. I'm fucking scared of watching sad animes now.

Violet Evergarden because it is the most aesthetically pleasing.

I will make tiers from what I've watched.

A) Shirobako/Clannad.
Only if you include After Story, because Shirobako clearly superior than Clannad S1.

B) Yuru Camp
My favorite. But those two above it are just different.

C) Kimi ni Todoke/Oregairu/Toradora
Oregairu just getting worse, especially S3. I considered to put it on lower tier, but at it's best Oregairu deserved higher tier, so I pick the middle.

D) Miss Kobayashi
Kanna is maybe the only reason why this is not in lower tier. But at the same time Kanna is the reason why I can't watch it anymore and dropped it, I feel like they sexualized our little dragon in some scenes.

E) Violet Evergarden/Maid sama/School Days
Maid Sama maybe the best one, simply because it has Usui Takumi, one of the sexiest mf in anime. I am straight male and I can only dreamed to be as hot as him.

I've only seen three (I'd love to see more in the future though). The best for me is definitely Clannad/Clannad After Story - it's very close to my heart. It's a very spiritual and thought-provoking show to me. I love the characters and I think it has a good mix of goofy scenes as well as scenes that made me bawl my eyes out (I'm very hard to make cry btw).

But Violet Evergarden is extremely beautiful and polished too - I love that as well and, naturally, I also bawled my eyes out. I had very mixed feelings about Toradora.

Of the 11 I've seen, only Clannad, Violet Evergarden and Devil is a Part-timer were really good.

VE is the best with its interesting plot and progression, charming characters, great soundtrack and beautiful animation.

Since these animes are of different genres, it won't pe totally fair to judge someone the best. But still If I have to go with something, I will choose Violet Evergarden due to it's animation and dramatic storyline

Clannad and Violet Evergarden are the ones I'd choose, KyotoAnimation just always know what they are doing and I can explain why these are some of the best anime (in my opinion) for hours but not even that would do it justice

Best to worst (1 and 8 aside, 2-7 are pretty close with not much substantial difference between each other. So the ranking, may change depending on my mood )

1) Toradora (classic tsundere romance with decent ending likable characters and decent production)

2)Kimi no Todoke
(positive point - great potential, multiple couples, likable FL or other side character and plus great production.
Negative points - extremely slow pacing issue which makes it boring, very unlikeble ML or SML and no ending)

3)Oregairu
(Positive point - interesting ML/narrative and decent ending
Negative point - harem bait trash)

4)Kakegurui
(Positive point - momentarily fun and thrilling show, decent production
Negative point - not good for long term investment)

5)Violet evergarden
(Positive point - interesting premise, likable characters, good production
Negative point - trashy screenplay with bait service, episodic, shitty sequal conclusion)

6)Maid sama
(It dont remember much other than it's the premise was kind of uninteresting which I confirmed in first few episode
Inconclusive, need a proper watch in future to be fair)

7)The devil is a part-timer
(Positive - interesting premise and few interesting fight
Negative - Harem bait trash, too stale, no ending)

8)School days
(Negative point - trash
Positive point - trash)

Others I have not seen (but based of the order of external impression)

Most likely to watch-
Clannad
Shirobako
Tamako market
Miss Kobayashi

Less chances of watching-
Wonder egg priority
Amagami SS
Yuru camp
Yuri yuri

Will not watch-
Boarding school Juliet
Eromanga Sensei
Nekopara

These 3 shouldn't be in the poll tbh:
School days is a basically a cult classic but not because it's a good one
Clannad and Violet Evergarden are two very highly rated series for different aspects and aren't really comparable to everything else in the poll.

For the rest:
So top 3 would be Toradora, Oregairu and Amagami SS. All three have a decent story with their unique aspects but they're basically A tier.

Maid sama and Kakegurui would be B tier, first suffers from old art style and a fairly bland story, while the second suffers from story direction and somewhat overdone yet insufficient shock value.

devil is a part timer is in C tier with fairly bad fighting scenes and no real story, as the anime itself feels like a filler the whole time.

Haven't seen the rest, and have had no interest in them

I've only seen 3 from this list so I can only give opinions on those. Also, it's been more than a decade since I saw 1 and 2 :P

1) TORADORA:

2) CLANNAD:

3) VIOLET EVERGARDEN:


Don't know if you were looking for explainations or just simply ranking but... here it is XD

Violet Evergarden is overrated. Generic drama story (sometimes even dumb drama like that famous episode 10) with only beautiful art and animation.

1:Clannad
2:Toradora
3:Nekopara
4:Eromanga Sensei & Kobayashi (read the manga for eromanga, guessing it's the same as the anime).
I haven't seen the others, but if Shirobako is indeed a better New Game! for anime, then it'd probably go second.

Edit: Oh, and why. Uhh Clannad was really good, Toradora was pretty good, Nekopara was enjoyable throughout, and the other 2 were mostly enjoyable. If Kobayashi weren't a comedy, and if it didn't try to get serious in the last 2 eps of S1, and if it wasn't highly regarded, it might move up to #3.

although the two have very little in common, Clannad is way better than Violet Evergarden. Hopefully common sense prevails and Clannad wins the poll.
