| If you rated it a 10, surely you had a reason. So what was it? Mod Edit: Giving this a chance 'cause there are quite a number of good responses. Remember, explain ^^ |

| Inuyasha was part of my starter pack for getting into anime. Became memorized by the love story, characters and the beautiful OST's. Turned me into the romance buff that I am now Watching Nodame Cantabile is the most fun I've had as an anime fan. Could not give less a fuck about the classical genre going in but Nodame's spirit and Chiaki's drive combined for a beautiful tandem, and they made great music together. |
  |
| Because Gintama delivers it in every episode. Oh, and because Gintoki is the best character ever. EDIT: Gintama is actually the only show that made me laugh out loud. |
 |
| Because it's themes resonated with me. I could also kinda relate to the MC and the messages that the show gave off were something I always grew up wondering about.. |
| The reasons why I rate an anime a 10 are simply because I REALLY enjoyed it, and were either unique or just really good at what they did. Ill give examples: -Steins;gate = The story telling was amazing! Made me cry, made me laugh, and I genuinely felt for the characters -Nisekoi = Was damn funny 24/7 -Madoka magica = Took a completely different and unique turn from the Mahou Shoujo genre. All 3 of these had something special about them IMO. |
 |
| Hunter x Hunter 2011: Love the character driven storylines, how each arc is different from the last in Tone, setting and formula,Each Fight has a different tactics to it and are creative,The character development, It doesn't get so convoluted that you don't know what's going on but not to simple that it's predictable,There is always a sense of danger unlike other anime, the OST always hypes me up, the animation is High Quality especially for a long running show, the voice acting gives me chills and fits each character, and I love how lot's of the side characters get characterised and can carry the show and don't always to need the MC to save them or need them to accomplish their task |
| Sup... |
| Actually I rated it a 9. It's my favorite because it's calming, touching, fun, and overall was very enjoyable. There wasn't a single moment where I was bored and I looked forward to each episode with extreme excitement. The soundtrack was beautiful and the characters were all so lovable. There are many shows like it out there but I believe it s the best in that genre. |
 |
| When you say "simple thread' are you sure you didn't mean "simple listing thread"? Anyway, here are some short explanations for the four anime I rated 10. I may write actual reviews someday. Yama no Susume Second Season: This has the most beautiful animation I have seen. All of the characters are well developed; even some of the background characters have personalities. The adventures are all realistic. The pacing isn't the best, but I gave it some leeway due to everything it did well. Cardcaptor Sakura: All of the characters were amazing and they had very unique personalities. Even though the anime is half filler every episode has a great story and no episode feels like it doesn't belong. The relationships between the characters are interesting and well written. The anime is just as long as it needs to be to tell its story. Full Moon wo Sagashite: This is one of the most dark and interesting anime I've ever watched. Even though it's a shoujo anime it manages to show really good philosophy about death that I haven't even seen in seinen anime. The characters are all likable and all of their lives are interesting. The way that the backstories behind the characters coincide is interesting to find out about as the story progresses. Usagi Drop: The characters are all realistic. It does a good job of showing a single parent raising a child. The ending isn't anything special, but that's not too big of a problem. |

| Evangelion challenges me, Wolf Children inspires me personally, and Miyazaki's works are the purest reminders of the beauty of humanity. Of course, these must have the utmost excellence in filmmaking, direction, cinematography, animation, visual and literary storytelling, editing, characterization, etc. before even being considered an 8 or above for me. But when an anime can achieve all of these and manage to strongly impress me personally, psychologically, and/or philosophically, it can reach a 9 or 10. The anime listed above, as well as Ghost in the Shell, Whisper of the Heart, FLCL, Hosoda's other films, and Berserk have managed to reach that level of excellence and personal impression to be considered my favorites. |
| @animezinghayden Literally the minute I set Usagi Drop as completed (well, within an hour of it anyway) someone posted on my profile that if I enjoyed the Usagi Drop anime I shouldn't read the manga because it will take the enjoyment out of it. I took their advice. |
|
| Because it went above and beyond most other anime I've seen, simple as that. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| I'm pretty sure I answered a question like that already... Anyway, I placed Tsukihime and First Squad there, because I like them, and a lot of people don't. Screw those people, Tsukihime anime does exist! Dog Days is, in my opinion, the essence of anime. And I just liked Yume Tsukai and Tank Police a lot. My manga choices are easier to describe: Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is one of the first (and best) slice-of-life mangas I have read. Partly because it's so mysterious. Mahou Sensei Negima has a perfect blend of ecchi harem and magic action, similar to Dog Days. Monster Collection is remembered for its awesome art. There's plenty of monsters inside, and they're all well-drawn. And plenty of well-drawn people too. I find sketchbook (and its MC Kajiwara Sora) to be very relatable. Knights resonates with me, because it's about killing evil priests with science. |
| Because I enjoyed every minute of it |
 |
| End of Eva is legit my favourite movie ever 10/10 pinnacle of entertainment and mindfuckery |

| Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Because it can be watched and enjoyed by turning off your brains, but it has some pretty cool concepts if you think about its story. I also love its characters, the over-the-topness of the action and the visuals. Fairy Tail - Gives me everything I want from a long running shounen show. I love the characters, comedy, action, soundtrack, artstyle and doesn't needlessly drag on like the others. Black★Rock Shooter (TV) - Has the best fighting scenes I've seen in an anime. Amazing art, animation and soundtrack. The concept of the characters' emotions and relationships, as they change, being visualised in some other world were they battle each other is just super cool. Seto no Hanayome - Best comedy in anime. It doesn't have 'just its moments', or 'funny here and there'. It's hilarious all the way through, from begin to end. Fullmetal Alchemist - Honestly been too long ago since I watched this. I just remember loving it for its two main characters and the adventure they go on. (Need to rewatch sometime and decide whether or not I still consider it a favourite.) |
| most of my 10s are comedy. because i'm enjoyed comedy more than other genre |
| Monster: best characters as a whole, interesting story, intriguing concept, other anime lost some of their charm as time passed but not Monster. |

| Kekkai Sensen is my all time favorite anime ever for some reason. I really enjoyed it and I don't know why could be the smooth jazz, the over the top characters, White's adorable green eyes or the references to American movies and comics all I know is I could watch it everyday till I die and I would regret nothing. tl;dr: I really enjoyed it. |
 |
Hunter X Hunter 2011: its history, far from being the most original, but incredibly well written, with an outstanding script, turns amazing script, the pace is incredible (with exception of some episode of CA) in my opinion has 2 the best arcs that one can see in general (CA and YS) with casting characters and development of great characters, a superb OST with a variety in their repertoire that few have, an animation that even improves the move, its dark tone and realistic almost does not use typical cliches, unpredictable, is for me the decontrucion the shonen. It changed my way of judging the anime or any show, was an unforgettable experience that also influenced my way of being, I wish I could erase my memory, to view it without knowing anything about it.without knowing anything about it. |
| Well...we are explaining why, so this shouldn't be a listing thread... For the 10s I have: Yama no Susume 2nd Season - Nostalgia Overload. White Album 2 - I directly relate to one of the characters. Shoujo Kakumei Utena - Symbolism Overload. Chihayafuru - Reminds me of Competitive Starcraft. Turn A Gundam - My favorite among the Gundam anime that I've seen so far with an excellent female lead and great ending. Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo - I don't even need to answer why. Either you accept it or you don't. |
 |
| In general (without specifying any series), because I like the characters, the setting, the pacing, the plot, visuals and basically everything about the series. |
 |
| OMG, because it's the best. Everything that happens is awesome, it has hot girls and swords, Gamagori is 20 feet tall, and Nonon's ass is juicy af. Imaishi's directing is godly, it's the best action, the best characters and character designs, the best art style, and absolutely, objectively 100% the best OST in the best show. There's nonstop fan service but instead of making me roll my eyes and want to rewatch Texhnolyze, I get all hyped up because I actually care about the characters and the shit that happens to them, and so everyone being naked is a positive for once since it's backed up by something. It's got themes and shit. You heard that right, "themes", that fancy word people use to make their favorite cartoons sound like more than that, except this show is more than that because it's my favorite cartoon. It's also better than Gurren Lagann. |
 |
| Well, those I rated a 10 is based on how I enjoyed a series but to be placed on the top it has to emotionally and conceptually resonate with me and that it doesn't have any flaws when examined through a critical lens. Only one anime fits that criteria perfectly and that is Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu(aka the best anime of all time). |
| Because I had a blast with them, They were extremely entertaining! |
| I can't say I have one single favourite anime but of the few anime I've rated a 10/10, the reason behind it is usually because it excels in all areas strongly, combinations of good story telling, setting, immersion, cast and general character development all working together for some examples, I could go more into depth about what makes each specific 10 rated anime of mine a favourite but I'll leave it with that general summary. |
| This is gonna be long, and it'll take a lot of time... Tokyo Godfathers: usually I dislike happy shows and Deus ex Machinas, in this film however it's really well done, it gave me some really powerful feelings thus the 10 Nana: this anime had the most realistic characyters I've ever seen. I may have liked them, despised them, and maybe both but this anime managed to make me evaluate my life and reawaked a sealed wish within me. Plus, it made me remember a lot the old times when i used to have friend beside me... for the critical hit it made on me i gave it a 10 Clannad and After Story: feels... way too many feels to handle... it as an automatic ten Shoujo Sect: I started to watch shoujo sect to fap, after 10 minutes i was following the story entranced, Shinobu's situation resembled a lot my first love so it was quite a direct hit. As an hentai that made me cry for it's love story, I gave it a 10 K-On!: As paceful as it can be, this show made me feel like I was living with the characters in their colorful and happy world, I managed to forget all of my problems while watching it. The only negative thought I kept having was that never could life be that happy, for being that great i gave it a 10 (K-on!! included) There she is!!: It started as an anonymous korean music video on newgrounds, the first three episodes were priceless comedy but with the last two had an incredible amount of feelings. It came this far from nothing and it was made by an amateur, I had to give it a 10 Angel Beats!: my favorite of all times. I watched it when I was lost and didn0t know what to do with my life anymore, I was struck by Iwasawa's story, I too had been escaping from life like her and watching this anime I realised that I wanted to give the same escape route to someone else, that emotion that could keep them safe from everything even if just for a little bit. For showing me my life's path, and make me cry about 5 or 6 times everytime I watch it, this anime will be forever the best one for me Koe de Oshigoto: this one is simple: a high schooler that works as a voice actor for an eroge and that cum in front of the mic by just imagining what she's saying, plus a character that reminds me a lot of myself. For the huge appeal on my perv side I gave it a 10 HenSemi (TV): an anime that explore fetishes, in wich i'm doing lots of research. Since it focuses on the psicological side of human sexuality it covers one of my main interests and is so far the only one, thus I gave it a 10 Chuunibyou first season: I gave it a 10 just for the last part actally, when WataMote: I'm an asocial otaku just like Tomoko, and this anime has explained so well the bottomless pit i could fall in that i felt phisical pain watching it due to being way to uncomfortable, I had to pause the episodes a lot of time. For giving me nightmares about how low I can fall, I gave it a 10 Genei wo kakeru taiyou: I really liked the Daemonias, even though the latin names pronunciation made me cringe For making me think so deeply and made me extremely depressed, I gave this anime a 10 Has anyone reached this point and read everything? I'm amazed if even one did! Anyway, this was the explanation of every ten in my anime list as of today, I hope you appreciate it because it took me quite a bit of time writing all of this |

| What a stupid thread, my favourite anime are my favourite anime because I like them more than the other anime I've watched, or to put it simpler; I like great anime, and LotGH is the greatest anime there is. I like psychological thrillers, and Monster is the greatest psychological-thriller anime there is. I like sports anime, and Hajime no Ippo is the greatest sports anime there is. I like comedy, and Gintama is the greatest comedy anime there is. |

Troll_Tactics said: If you rated it a 10, surely you had a reason. So what was it? Because Tenkuu No Shiro Laputa was a childhood movie that I forgot until a few days ago...I watched it with my dad :D |
| "This little girl, who's not even half my size... taught me that tears can flow even from these silver eyes." - Teresa |
| I haven't rated any of my favourite anime a 10 cuz I am objective enough to consider their flaws the funny thing is that the only anime I rated 10 isn't among my favourite. |
 |
| Because every day when I get up I want to watch it again. |
| It took a great concept from a manga, with a brilliant story to tell, and made it better in every possible way. It showed the realistic and tragic view of hate, love, regret, and growth. Combine that will brilliant visuals and music, and you have yourself a masterpiece. |
 |
| My old favorite used to be Zankyou no Terror because it made me cry a lot and feel for the characters in only 11 episodes worth of time. Takes a lot for that to happen! My new favorite is Osomatsu-san because I just love the characters and it's a really funny anime imo. And I love the soundtrack and the voice actors and just... why not? But a 10/10 is too generous. 9/10 at most, haha. |
  WORK IN PROGRESS ~The frog leapt forth to my lilypad memory.~ I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit, Adenomata affronted. It was the verecund, dismissed creatures That I jubilated in most. This rabbit I would nurture, At the aiguille of esse, The anneal of noblesse. ❤️ Birdie ❤️ |
| My Little Monster is both my top favorite anime and manga. A friend mentioned it to me and one day I decided to give it a try and ended up loving it even though it's not really something I would have chose to watch. Doubt is also another one. I found it by chance on here, and decided it was short so why not? Has a good mystery to it. Kagerou Daze is another one, though I've only read the manga for it because I think the anime just seems odd. Good characters and an interesting story. Black Butler is another one of my favorites due to the fact that I've watched all of the anime there is for it so far. Well, except for Book of Murder. Really love the English voice actors and the overall storyline. Just haven't gotten around to reading the manga yet. |

| Because I could watch them again and again and again and never not enjoy them. They don't necessarily have to be a 10, either. eg: School Rumble, a show that I could watch time and time again and never get tired of the characters and jokes, even though I rated it 8/10. |
| Because i enjoyed every single second of it. |
 |
| Air and Lucky Star because they were the first things I ever watched and I still love them. Nichijou because it made me laugh When Marnie was there because it's the best Studio Ghibli movie in my opinion. Naruto Shippuden because ( Gaara) I'm waiting for it to end. |
Rainbow is amazing for the sole fact that all the chapters are in alphabetical order. |
| Mine is probably nge. And it's my favourite because I just relate to the characters so well, especially Shinji (I'm really shy, afraid of intimacy, have an abusive dad etc.) and it's changed the way I think about a lot of things a lot in general. And then there's also the art and music, which are both fantastic in every way in my opinion. |
| Mushishi is my favorite anime because it's a well-produced, meticulously crafted, allegorical, fantasy-adventure. It takes many things that I like, and brings them together into a beautiful presentation. Moreover, as a Buddhist, I can relate to it on a "spiritual" level through the parallels that it draws between experience and pratītyasamutpāda. |
