| Steins;Gate. Good second half but that first half buildup was tiring to sit through and it was half of the series so cant call it a masterpiece when I only cared for half of it, no matter the payoff. Even by the end, didn't enjoy the actual characters in this series besides Rintaro and Kurisu. Humor didnt click with me much during that first half too |
| For me, definitely Gabriel DropOut. I wanted to think higher of it, but it was just so "kinda okay" that I just dropped it to make room for other anime. Also Inuyasha. It's just "kinda okay", even though it's from my fave mangaka of all time. I'll just finish that anime "whenever", |

Frieren. I really like it though & It's been a breath of fresh air for the fantasy genre, but I can't say it deserves the top spot. It did have a very strong beginning & middle but I felt like the first class mage arc was a tad bit too long. I might change my mind if it does pick its self later.
A Silent Voice. I know many deem this the best anime film but I honestly couldn't see it. I really wanted to love this movie but I felt like it would've worked better as a 13 episode show. The pacing was a pretty fast for my liking & I couldn't get invested enough.

| @-Kugeki- Frieren, I would disagree. Or more precisely, the first class mage arc may or may not have dragged on (I have no strong feelings on its pacing), but its production quality and consistency stood out more for me. A Silent Voice, I really really hoped I was watching a masterpiece. It was not to be. Either I couldn't relate too much, or the story did not have a strong conclusion. A 13 episode show would have worked better, yes. |
| Sword Art Online, and Dragon Ball Z are the two that is popping up in my head at the moment regarding that. |

| Gintama is a anime I liked, but not a goat tier like I see in mal rankings. As to why; I disliked the big dog Sadaharu. Some arcs are goated though like Umibozu. Bocchi is another good but not goat. |

| Feeling that with Frieren, but to each their own. I'm so impartial with that series. EDIT: Frieren is just the most recent example, but "Your Name" is definitely my answer. I expect it of this website, but there's so much more negativity against Miyazaki than Makoto Shinkai from what I've seen. I've found Shinkai's stuff to not measure up to the acclaim that it's gotten. |

 The first season of Link Click is mixed bag for me. I liked it better in its first half when it was an anthology series of two guys helping out random people. It went downhill for me when it went all in on a serialized mystery thriller drama against some supernatural adversary. When the second season became hammy, cheesy with its overall plot, I warmed up to it. |
| Gintama. I’m only 56 episodes in and I’m going to keep going, but I wouldn’t put it above half the anime I’ve seen. Some episodes were gut-busting, like 25 and 50, but that is just not consistent enough for an anime of this length to be considered as highly as it is. It is good, but I can’t even conceive how it is considered the greatest. |

| @nighm As someone who's seen four seasons of "Gintama" (equivalent to 300+ episodes), I can say that I really agree with not understanding at all why this series is held in such high regards. Proves to me even more that I can't take the top ranked anime list on this site seriously, too. I started this series thinking it was good, but as time went on it just lost me more and more that I'm fine with not finishing it. I don't think it's worth it. |

Steins Gate clearly. The first 5 or 6 episodes I'd score 6's. The latter half was great (if repetitive) and frankly I thought the conclusion was deus ex machina. Personally scored a 7.
Freiren. I loved it but it's not #1. Top 10 for sure. Even then, I enjoyed Apothecary Diary more and rated it a 9 (Freiren I gave a "high 8" i.e. not quite 9 material but close).
Kaguya-sama I found to be rather senseless, annoying and repetitive. I liked the joke delivery, timing, narration, animation and characters (except the male mc is repulsive, frankly). So I appreciated the production aspects and most of the characters but that's it. Scored 6. The 3rd season seems to be even more gushed over so who knows, maybe I'll somehow blitz through S2 to find out if it's the same routine or something different.
Gintama I haven't gotten too far into but it's already seeming to be a bit too silly. And I'm not adverse to silly (Best Student Council comes to mind), but it has to be a certain kind of silly, I guess. It's too early to give it a score but I'm leaning to 7.
Bocchi the Rock. I really liked it (gave it an 8) and there were some bits worthy of massive repeated re-watching but the universal craze for it seems a bit much (like Freiren in that regard).
Boku no Kokoro. Also liked it but I'm not in any hurry to que up the sequel. Scored 7. Takagi-san, Kubo-san wo Mob, Nagatoro, Dress-up Darling are all better IMO and feature a similar situation of an ordinary, herbivore male somehow hooking up with a "high level" female.

"Gintama" does get less silly later on in the sense that it has more frequent arcs that are more serious in tone, but even when the series tries to be serious it's not that good, but who knows? Maybe you'll like those parts. They just made me appreciate the comedic episodes instead. |

| @bucciest Oh no! I don't know if I should thank you for saving me the trouble or be discouraged because I am already committed to watching it. But at the very least, it helps me not feel crazy for my opinion on it. You mentioned Frieren as a pick above. The thing is, I gave Frieren a 10 myself. I watched it every Friday and was glad to start rewatching it with anyone interested, so I feel like if the average is below my actual score, it's hard for me to say the average is wrong. I am a little surprised that the rating is still so high, but I'm all for it. As for whether it is the "greatest", it does seem to early to tell. Any series that had a great first season but then peters out... well, it's hard to call it the greatest. So we still have time, but I would let it be a contender. |

| Oshi no ko I guess. It was good but I wouldn’t consider it to be the best thing since sliced bread |

| Sousou no Frieren and Perfect Blue, They're good, but they're not that great. |
