Seriously, those are probably in my top 5-10% of the top 100 MAL anime. Season 5 is my overall favorite season and the franchise one of the best completed stories anime has to offer. Them being in the top 100 is one of these things that makes me appreciate MAL ratings. I cannot accept that answer :>. |

| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

The split cour rules, lack of a seperation between Ln and manga and a few other things really deceive the perception of what is of quality if you are rather new. I wouldn't really call Key solid when it coems to drama and romance, for example. There are a few Josei that deserve that spot more. Same for drama in general, RoV and many Dezaki stuff is missing from the Top 100 and those are arguably very important milestones. And the longer an aniem is, the more likely it is for peopel who donät like it to drop it which often means that very long mediocre Shounen adaptions have quite a chance at getting to the top - like FT. I just think the rating system in general can be improved. |

vigorousjammer said: Pretty much all sites have a "sequel bias" when it comes to ratings -- people who would dislike later sequels of a franchise either don't watch the franchise at all, or drop it partway through or after watching one of the earlier installments. Thus, sequels are mainly watched by people inclined to like them, which has the effect of artificially increasing their ranking. If franchises could be rated collectively, some might not have such high-ranking entries.JumpinJackFlash said: But I'll also have to take into account that some of the anime in the Top 100 are sequels, so I'd have to check out the earlier instalments of that series first, that didn't make it into the Top 100. Ah, yes, that is also what I'm planning to do, as difficult as it may be. I can't watch the sequel before watching the original, after all. :P |
| I also plan to finish the top 100 one day but it has not been a priority so far. I think the best is to take it slowly and to not force yourself when you don't feel like continuing. I think my biggest challenge for me will be either Hajime no Ippo since I don't know if I can stomach over 100 episodes of boxing or Gundam Unicorn since apparently you have to watch all the prequels to know what's going on and... well...

There's less diversity maybe, since the industry is constantly chucking movies and sequels of immensely popular shows that will end up high on the charts too. |

I'm actually kind of excited about Hajime no Ippo, it looks pretty rad. I'm planning to watch each franchise in order of air date, and I've made a list for myself, which lists any prerequisites to any show on the top 100 that requires them. For Gundam Unicorn, watching every single Gundam series that has aired would be far too much, so I've limited the prerequisites to the most relevant stuff, universe-wise: "Mobile Suit Gundam" "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam" "Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ" "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack" "Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket" "Mobile Suit Gundam F91" and "Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory" That's three TV series, two OVAs, and two films That might seem like a lot, but the heaviest time investment is really just in those three series. Those movies and OVAs shouldn't take very long to get through. All in all, it's about the same commitment I'd end up making to Gintama, and I feel like Gundam is probably a much more worthy franchise, so I'm okay with it, haha. :P |

| I would like to take the challenge too, but mostly as a somewhat new anime watcher I'm interested to watch these 'cult' shows that I've heard about the most. (Like Steins;Gate, which I just finished). Most of them are in the top 100 though :D |
| I would do this but there's stuff like Higurashi and the Bakuman sequels there and lord knows i'm not touching those. |
| I'm sure I'll eventually get to most of what the top 100 has to offer, but part of the fun is keeping that journey spread out and random. MAL rank doesn't factor into my choices as I pretty much choose what catches my eyes regardless of rank. Even though shows in the double digits have a greater probability of being appealing, I've found shows in the 2500-4500 range that I enjoy more. |
 |
| I could never do it, I only watch I like and drop anything else. I went through the top 100 just to see what was there and I know I could never do it because I can't stand Gintama and since like every season/special is on there I'd give up before ever starting. Right now I've watched or tried 55/100 and it's probably going to stay that way. I may give Code Geass a try sometime though. Good luck on your quest anyway. |
 |
| I'll watch an anime in the 100 if it looks interesting. |
| I have so many other shows to finish watching before I even consider trying to do that. I really enjoy just watching whatever I suddenly have a mood to watch - if I follow some regime like "watch all top 100 anime" it will start feeling more like an obligation and less like something I do to relax and enjoy myself. |

Of course top lists and the rating system can always be improved/suited more to individual taste (I'd also love to see more Dezaki stuff up there. That is another discussion though), but given the nature of average ratings I think it's necessary to be willing to compromise. It's a modern site with mostly new users so it's to be expected that older stuff like Dezaki isn't as popular, unless you specifically bias the rating system towards older shows that won't change. If you accept the specific qualities of the userbasis I think the Top 100 are doing a fair job of representing the majority of shows that the majority of new users would and should be interested in when they start watching anime. A few sub-par shows like FT are not enough to call the whole toplist degraded imo. |

They are usually so immensly bad that they are fun again. Also, quite a few people share this interest in absolute garbage. There are clubs, achievements and other challenges related to it. I honestly think that a lot of these really bad shows, while being crafted in the poorest ways and being absolute devoid of any critical quality, are genuinely more enjoyable than the 100th tired LN harem romcom ecchi adaption we get every new season.

| Every now and then I find something new to watch from there |
| Personally for me, watching the TOP 100 on the top anime list shouldn't be your priority. At least you should watch any series that you could enjoy yourself when watching it.

 |
| I actually just went and counted how many of the top 100 I've watched/am watching (including shows I've dropped). I counted 39 different titles. As for whether I want to go through them, yes and no. Yes as in I want to watch most of them (I mean, no point watching the Disappearance movie since I dropped the original TV show and can't be bothered with the original HxH). No as in I don't want to watch them just because they happen to be in the top 100. |

mayukachan said: ScazoN said: I wanna do this Ay, I found a link to the lowest on MAL: http://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?type=&limit=7130 Oh nice. I might actually try giving this a go. |
| Yeah now that you mention it, I'll try it as well. Top 100 here I come. |
 |
| Just out of curiosity I wanted to list out every unique anime in the top 100. If a sequel/side story was on the list without its parent anime being there, I didn't count it. This would be a much more accurate list to go by in my opinion: The list isn't all that bad after you remove all the clutter. 40% I would put in my own personal top 100 anime of all time. 10% I still need to watch. 20% I feel are genuinely good shows, but not deserving of such high placement. And 30% have no business being anywhere near the top 100. |
 |
| Well, I know I'll never be able to complete the Top 100 Dunky compiled because no way in hell am I undropping Sakurasou. God knows why it's so high in the first place. There's also no way I'll ever pick up Hitman Reborn or the terrible Kenshin anime so I liked the other top 100 more because I might be able to complete them xD. You counted Kenshin twice by the way, just called it Samurai X once. trust and Betrayal should be merged with the main series, it's one franchise after all. But the list as a whole seems pretty agreeable with the exception of Sakurasou. Still need to watch Maid-sama and Gankutuou and Romeo no Aoi Sora, but the others are all pretty deserving of a top 100 spot, even though I'd rank them differently. A lot of stuff I missed in the other top 100 are present now. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Lol, Sakurasou seems to be the most unusual one to have attained such a high rating. It's probably the most consistently disliked one among my friends, and doesn't have a terribly high rating on anidb either. Makes you wonder if there are some users up-voting this one, it's not like I ever see people raving about it on the forums. I will probably keep the Rurouni Kenshin entries separate, I'll think about it though. Those two entries are so vastly different that it's hard to believe they are even from the same franchise. They feel about as different to me as Mobile Suit Gundam differs from Zeta Gundam. This list has made me want to watch Romeo no Aoi Sora immediately. It's nice and short compared to some of the other ones in this top 100, namely One Piece... |
|
| I don't take advice or recommendation when choosing Anime. |
| I wouldn't even try it. There's some really long anime in it (like one piece), there's shows I just don't want to watch, and not to forget that a lot of them aren't some first season that I could just watch without having to watch something else first. |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |

Isn't it still out of question that MSG and Zeta are part of the same franchise? I'd apply the same to Kenshin, but I see your point. It's just hard to draw the line. And yeah, very interested in Romeo no Aoi Sora, If it really is even better than the two WMT shows I've already seen it can only be awesome. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| First time looking at top 100 on MAL and I'm kinda surprised what anime there are... I wont try to watch all of the anime there as it will change a lot probably so its kinda pointless but looking at the list, I'm at 75/100 completed right now and from those I have not watched yet, I deffinitely plan gintama which are 5 entries in top 100 and hunter x hunter which are another 2... there are another few series I plan to watch so I should be able to get to 90% completion eventually. |
 |
| I would recommend you do so all of the anime on the Top 100 list have some pretty incredible moments plus you can also enjoy it with the fanbase. |
Nyaaaria- said: You really are the king of marathoning  |
| I've thought about it as well, but there are many that just don't interest me. But a lot of them that I haven't watched yet will be seen at some point. |
