| @LV69_Squirtle 5 cm. per second- I really want to watch this, but I've always gotten confused about what order the movies go in. Cowboy Bebop- As I was saying earlier I also intend on watching this. It is very high on my animes to watch list. :) Death Note- Totally deserves a 10. It was mysterious, intriguing and thought-provoking. The different strategies he used were very complex and planned ahead amazingly well. The ending was very sad and although he was 'evil' by the law's standards, I felt a lot of pity for him and respect. He may have been a little crazed near the end, but he's damn smart and I respect him for all the amazing plans he created. It was dark, realistic, well-animated and the music was epic. There were a few gripes I had with it, but right now I feel too content with my 10 score that I don't feel like bringing its flaws to light. Dragon Ball- It's not on my immediate 'to watch' list and I have never really sat down and looked at it closely. Ghost in the Shell- Saw bits and pieces on Adult Swim and i can say that it does look to have good action although something about the way it's presented makes me hesitant to watch it. Monster- This looks to be one very interesting anime full of mystery... I plan on watching it in the future. Spirited Away- YES. YES. YES. This is one of the first animes I had ever seen when I was little and I love it to bits. It's so creative and beautiful. The animation is fluid and the scenery is dazzling. I was enchanted by it when I first rented it at Blockbuster 6 years ago and I still am. |
| haven't played this thread game for long, but here I go. @judojon cowboy bebop - you know I honestly get awesomeness vibe from its characters. But, it's just that some episodes did fail to grab my attention. Death Note - a great series, one of the few shows that keep my interest at maximum. But, the second arc is not as that great as the first arc. Jigoku Shoujo - it's quite decent. and I luv its themes. Yet, its undeniably repetitive. Haibane Renmei - I've not formed an opinion about this show yet. Up to now, it still has not grabbed my attention yet. Now and then, here and there - except showing cruelties of war, which I am really fond of, I see no spectacular thing about this show. And the protagonist is kinda like an emo generic one. The rest I've not seen yet. |
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united. |
| Chronovoid Mushishi On hold at the moment but pretty enoyable, not to mention the wonderful works of art. Can be worth a 10. Code Geass The first season beats the second. However Code Geass is not my cup of tea. I find Gundam 00 to be much better. LotGH No suprises there. Every viewer's given a 10 for it. Voices of a Distan Star Agreed. Even though I'm not a big fan of the art but considering its production as well as the plot squeezed in a mere 25 minutes, it's a masterpiece. Not seen the rest. I want to watch Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen. |
 |
| k0k0 Baccano - Yes, someone who agree, but it is weird for me as long time fan how this anime became much more popular after Durarara aired. Best storytelling ever. ef - a tale of memories - It has some of the most incredible artistic moments ever. Even if I am not fan of romances, this is one of the best i saw. I haven’t seen Samurai Champloo, but maybe I should. I fear to watch popular shows, because some were really big disappointment to me. This one is on my list for long time. |
| Baccano - A lot of people give this a ten. (: I liked it too, and though I don't agree that it deserves a ten, I understand. Mouryou no Hako - I'm highly anticipating watching this. *___* Glad to see someone gave it such a high score. Bokurano - Wow, really? I find people either love or hate this anime. I see horribly low scores given to it, and then a few rare high ones. I'm sort of in the middle with that. I thought it was good. :D I haven't seen any of your other 10s, my apologies. |
| Death Note: definitely a masterpiece. It has a great story, great conflicts, epic battles, and mind-bending philosophical questions. Gungrave: havent watched, but desciption sounds good. Girl who leapt through time: It was pretty good, but not a 10 in my book. |
Score Criteria: |
| @judojon - I haven't watched a majority of your tens. You seem to have a lot of horror titles listed. I do plan on watching Cowboy Bebop and Death Note though. Now and Then Here and There sounds pretty amazing, so I threw it on my plan to watch list as well. I really loved Spirited Away as well. I did have it rated a ten at one point, but after a rewatch I dropped it down to a nine. The fantasy plot threw me at points. I also really enjoyed Toradora but I found it dragged on at points. I ended up rating it an 8 by the end of the series. |

Ritsu-no-waifu said: milkis13 said: @Cowabunga Cowboy Bebop- Will watch it soon. It appears to be very intriguing. Legend of Galactic Heroes- I've never heard of it before. Sorry. :( Why the hell did you skip milkis13? Most likely the were writing for someone else they saw already why the new post came it. I was skipped like that when I posted a page back, but does matter. |
| @ Mysteic Well we seem to agree that Azumanga Diaoh and Cowboy Bebop are perfect tens, defiantly classic series. I don't really see why people like Full Metal Alchemist though, it was a solid series, but defiantly not prefect in my opinion. And darn it all, you have seen "Kimagure Orange Road", and gave it a perfect 10! I have been wanting to see that series for ages, but never get around to it. Seeing that score makes me want to watch it even more now. ;_; |

You can also get the series cheap at kcdvd.com. http://kcdvd.com/KimagureOrangeRoad.html You are a vet at this, so need to explain that the series is from the 80's and has some 80's hair issues and old animation technique. But it was great. KOR does so many small things other anime series like it do not. Where else you going to get an anime girl who response to her guy trying to sneak a peek with, "Did you get a good look? You can come in the changing room with me and get a better view." Then punches him in the face, because he believed her. Or maybe I have a thing for being teased???? |
| Vcdrem Azumanga Daioh- It was okay, but most of the time, bordering on annoying. Cowboy Bebop- Good, funny, interesting and interesting characters. |
| @AlexSadist-sama Well, I've never seen Slam Dunk and I loved Outlaw Star ...just not enough to give it a 10. |
 |
| @Ironsableye Ranma 1/2-I used to adore this series until I read Maison Ikkoku, which I think is so much better as a romantic comedy it's not even funny. I know Ranma is supposed to be more action-romantic-comedy, but I could just put Samuari 7 on in the background while watching Maison Ikkoku for the same effect. DBZ-nostalgic as all hell? Ooooh, yes. 10 for me? In no way, I wish there wasn't so little content to each episode, lots of staring n' breathing Dragon Ball-I like it more than DBZ, I need to watch more FMA-solid choice, I need to finish that one too, only saw the first half (don't worry, my friend has the DVDs, I can borrow them off her) Death Note's-second half killed any chance of a 10 for me, even if the first half was amazing Detective Conan-it's nice every once in a while for me, but it's too intimidatingly long for me to watch it regularly. @Bbrevus (looks like you were typing when i was) Grave of the Fireflies-I seriosuly cannot stand this movie Nausicaa-wish it wasn't so tree-huggery Lain-seemed confusing just for the hell of it, I didn't get much out of the show Aria-have yet to see, but I do like Junichi Sato, the director |
AlexSadist-sama said: Vcdrem Azumanga Daioh- It was okay, but most of the time, bordering on annoying. Cowboy Bebop- Good, funny, interesting and interesting characters. Outlaw Star - Truly a great series and very deserving of 10s from people. I rated it an 8 because I watched Crest of the Stars shortly after and honestly got more out of that series, but I think it has more to do with what I wanted from a space anime at that time in my life than Crest blowing away Outlaw. Slam Dunk - I haven't seen this yet, but have heard many great things. I can't wait to track down a copy and get to watching it! Thanks for lighting a fire in my belly :P |
| Just commneting on the ones I watched/watching Aria the Animation/Origination: just started it, but nota 10 for me. too fluffy. Voices of a distant star: too boring. love story was good, but I didn't really feel anything. |

GreatEmperor said: Just commneting on the ones I watched/watching Aria the Animation/Origination: just started it, but nota 10 for me. too fluffy. Voices of a distant star: too boring. love story was good, but I didn't really feel anything. Code Geass: an excellent example of mass marketing appeal, but I really found it to be a bit weak in plot and characters. The ending didn't help it. R2: Entertaining, but degenerated more to something of a moron-movie fashion. Not necessarily bad, but certainly nowhere near a 10 in my book. Death Note: I can certainly understand. It's easily up there if you stop watching it 2/3 of the way in and let it end there. The last third of the series, however, did not impress me, and that significantly impacted my overall score. Ga-Rei -Zero-: While I haven't finished it, my opinion thus far is good but not great. I would anticipate some element to the series that prompted you to push the rating higher, as it seems a little off from your other 10s. Spice and Wolf: Again a popular series, but also a one-trick pony. I like the depiction of medieval commerce, and the chemistry between the main characters is decent, but I really felt it needed either a bit more to it, or to be compressed. Seirei no Moribito: can't argue too much. I felt it could have been better, but it's certainly a very high-quality series. Same for Princess Mononoke. |
| @ErwinJA You have completed almost 1000 and you have less than ten 10's! I agree with all the shows/movies I have actually watched. I just finished the whole Aria series and I agree that Origination does deserve a 10 at least. I watched all the movies you gave a 10 as a child, but I do remember having a lot of fun watching each one. Thumps up on giving Totoro a 10! It is my favorite movie of all time. To the next poster: Don't comment on mine because I already had like 4 people do it. Comment on ErwinJA's list. |
| @judojon You gave Bebop a 10 hmmmm I don't know I guess I can see why Death note 10? No the ending sucked Fooly cooly 10? YEAH *HI FIVES* Princess Mononoke + Spirited Away both completely 10 worthy so I see where your coming from Toradora! A 10? Hmmmm I guess I can see that It made me teary eyed a couple of times in fact I've thought of giving it a 10 but I don't think it's like the ultimate romance or anything so I decided against it plus the ending probably could have been better not sure how exactly but I'm sure it could have All In all I like most of your taste though |
| My neighbour Totoro Definitely. Miyazaki is always worth 10. NGE I haven't seen it but I feel it's pretty overrated. Princess Mononoke Need to see. Spirited away Hell yeah! One of my favourites. Summer wars I like your taste in movies and if Summer Wars gets a 10, meaning it should exceed my expectations. Must. Wach. Now. |
|
| ef tale of memories - Definitely agree, one of the best (if not the best) romance anime. Baccano! - Didnt saw it yet, but it got one of the highest score here, so i guess rating it 10 should be expected. Samurai Champloo - Definitely a very good anime, but in my opinion it doesnt deserve 10. The story drags sometimes, not to mention some really boring fillers in the middle. |
     |
| Samurai Champloo Don't know much about it, but looks quite interesting and doesn't have a bad score either. Not really my taste of anime I think. Baccano! Plan to watch. Heard something good about it here and there and also some of my friends really liked it. (also rated like 9 or 10) ef- a tale of memories Definitely, one of my favourites also. Best romance-anime I have seen so far. Music, Art, Characters, really worth 10 points. €: hm, too late :/ The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Can't say anything against that score- Haruhi is Haruhi. Elfen Lied Definitely overrated imo. Hellsing First season... hm it's all about gore and zombies and gore and zombies. I saw several episodes of the first season, didn't really like it. Ergo Proxy Great atmosphere and plot. Definitely worth a 10. Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo Didn't know about that one, just added it to "Plan to watch" :P Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann On "Plan to watch". I was told that TTGL is quite a good mecha anime. I' looking forward to watch it. Genshiken Seems interesting, but can't say anything about the score. Gintama Looks like a Samurai series in a quite different setting than most of the others, no bad average score either. Plan to watch now. Aria the Origination Toradora! Well. not really worth a 10 imo, but indeed a good romance anime. Kara no Kyoukai I like mysterious stuff and this one seems to be not that bad. Ghost in the Shell Also heard much about the film and the series. Plan to watch. |
SmahaApr 12, 2010 7:30 AM
| Clannad - I haven't seen it yet, it's on hold at 2 episodes... Death note - it was a nice watch, but definitely overrated. And the main character is despicable. Memories - of course. It's a really 10 worthy anime and is probably the only one to almost make me cry. Higurashi - Completely agree. And I am glad to see someone shares my opinion that the second season wasn't better than the first as the rating suggest, but indeed worse. NGE - no comment. |
| ef, Spice and Wolf, Baccano!, and Higurashi. Hmm. I haven't seen ef but I've heard good things about it. I liked Spice and Wolf, but for me, they definitely weren't 10 worthy material. Baccano!, on the contrary, is, so no disagreement there. Higurashi... I disliked it. A lot. The whole thing was so bad each episode dragged on and took effort to complete. Though a lot people tend to like it (particularly for the same reasons why I hate it). |
| @Avalongus The Aria's: I've heard good things about this series. I haven't seen it yet, but I hope it's deserving of your score of ten. Cardcaptor Sakura: I'm going to assume this is one of your childhood animes, and the feeling of nostalgia made you give it a ten. Monster - Haven't seen. Eva - I honestly can't agree with. It was good, but it's extremely overrated in my opinion. |
| Higurashi - hm, only started watching... but heard good things about it, hopefully I'll enjoy it as much as you Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu - Comedy in this series was hilarious, kept me laughing for hours. I still chuckle despite rewatching some of the scenes. Haruhi - Eh. Iono. The humor was ok, and a good series, but not so sure about handing this one a 10 Mushishi - GINKO! (Need I say more?) Gunslinger Girl - Haven't seen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: @ User above me: Lolz, sure, Shana has its faults - but does that mean it's something that's completely unbearable to even sit through and watch one episode of? I mean, let's face it - 99% of all anime - in regards to character, plot, development, etc. is all recycled. There is no such thing as a "brilliant groundbreaking anime" that's completely different from anything else ever produced. Sure, I can watch the first episode of Shana, then maybe even know exactly what the plot would be and exactly how it would play out, but so what? While I was watching, I laughed, I felt suspense, got bored and wish they'd kiss already, got annoyed at cliffhangers, but most importantly, enjoyed it. Meh, maybe because Shana was one of the first anime's I've watched that the stereotypes didn't bother me - after all, stereotypes only become stereotypes after you see them used again and again. I never really thought Shana as a romance anyways, so why let the fussy details bother me? 8D |

| @numb287 only 1 10... ill go ahead and comment on your 9s also Toradora! - Your only 10, good job. How could you stand the ending of the series. Made me slit wrists. School Rumble - Funny and cute anime, definitely not worth a 9. Ending gets minus points as well. It was enjoyable though. School Rumble Ni Gakki - Downloading as we speak. Thought i had it but i don't. Full Moon wo Sagashite - havent seen it but heard it was mediocre at best. Chobits - Chobits is chobits. One of those titles that i was going to watch but havent put time to watch it. I'll give it a shot since its another romcom. Shakugan no Shana II - I've encountered 2 types of people when it comes to Shana, the hardcore fan or the complacent bystander. Sure shana has its highs and lows, but Rie Tsungimiya is what makes all these characters so enjoyable, even though every character she does sounds the exact damn same. I'll have to admit, Shana isn't my favorite of Kugimiya's characters but its still hard to hate Shana. Death Note - first half of Death note was 10/10 for me but second half of Death Note was 5/10 for me. No way i could give this a 9. Fullmetal Alchemist - FMA is a rare shounen anime. One of those shounen anime that isnt annoying. Clannad ~After Story~ - I really hate key artwork. I mean, how much spacing do their eyes have to have? 1 feet or 4 feet? Sure they can act cute as a button but they all look like someone took their eyeballs and pulled them far apart as they could. Then that is followed by the smallest nose ever placed on a human beings face. The period at the end of this sentence is bigger than the nose on a KEY characters face. Normal face = ( 0 _ 0 ) Key face = (0_______.________0) ~im kawaiiiiii |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| @Ranivus 5 Centimeters per Second- completely agree here, i really enjoyed it as well Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage-Never watched it so wouldn't know much about it, but it seems popular, so I'll give it a go in the near future. Hopefully it doesn't let me down. Candy Boy-Same as Black Lagoon Baccano!-Watched the first 3 episodes, but is on hold for me atm Well most of your 10s I haven't watched except for Spice and Wolf, which i really enjoyed and gave it a 10 as well |
| @Ravinus I'll comment only on those that I've watched. Haruhi: Haruhi definitely is an enjoyable series and I imagine many people will give a 10, though I only gave a 9. GITS: I'm not sure if the movie deserves a 10. However, I'll recommend that you watch the TV series. There are 2 seasons and if I were to give 10, I might give it to 2nd Gig, meaning I prefer the 2nd season. Spice and Wolf: Great story that distinguishes it from the other animes. I can understand why you gave this a 10. Baccano!: Sadly I don't really appreciate anime like Baccano! and Durarara!. For some reason I don't get why these series are so popular. Higashi no Eden: Rather than commenting on the TV series, I'm quite interested to know why you gave the movie, King of Eden, a score of 1. Your scoring is quite weird here. Perhaps the movie did not meet your expectations? But I believe the movie did pick up rather nicely from where the TV series ended and I gave this an 8. |
 |
| @ qseft I haven't seen, nor do I have any intention of seeing, most of the things you gave 10s to but for the ones I have seen: Code Geass R2 - no comment. Gurren Lagann - after Kamina's unfortunate demise I couldn't possibly give this a 10. |
|
| @ironsableye DragonBall: I don't get why people like DragonBall so I won't comment it. Death Note: it's awesome! I would have given it a 10, but I really didn't like what happened in the end with the main character. Fullmetal Alchemist: it was my introduction to anime on-line and the first 10 I gave out :D. Yu-Gi-Oh: I've seen my share of Yu-Gi-Oh episodes in TV, but I it got discontinued rather quickly so I can't say much about it either. |
| @Bonar The only "10" that I've seen of yours is FMA, and while I agree that it's really good, I just can't bring myself to give it a "10" as well :/ |
| @DrakeWants2Speak Death Note - yep,i approve,awesome anime Ergo Proxy - was nice of the eps i saw,i gotta finish it tho *is waiting for serious mood* Kino no Tabi - never started it,but i've heard nice things about it... well,dunno XD Mononoke - was nice o.o Over Drive and Ristorante Paradiso - uhm,never heard them o.O Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - god,that anime is pure win XDDDDDDDD (the other parts too,but the first season rox) Welcome to the NHK - will watch ; still dunno Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge - is win! |
 Hide and Seek The Resistance |
| @animechap I never seen La Maison en Petite Cubes but if it's that 10 worthy, I'll try to watch it soon. As for Spirited Away, I agree with your rating, the movie is nothing short of epic. |
 |
| Hoppy Azumanga Daioh: It was funny at times, but most of the time, I found it annoying. Most 'jokes' were overdone and constantly repeated to the point where it got sickening. Castle in The Sky: Can't remember much about it, since I watched it a long time ago, but I do know that I liked it. Lucky Star: It's awesome. Liked it more than I expected. The characters were interesting, the art was simple but cute and the OP was excellent. |
| @AlexSadist-sama Guess I will comment on your 9s instead. Canaan - it's like a good Hollywood action movie. The first few episodes are awesome and look very promising. But, episodes later on dun have much to be noted of. Claymore - It's awesome. Especially the awesomeness of characters is obviously shining. But, I can't help but dislike the ending. Gintama - I've only watched 2 eps of it. Not really much to comment here. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - agreed here. Shion's revenge chapters are epic. |
| We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united. |
| @chronovoid Brotherhood is aaaaaaamazing Code Geass, huh? I guess it's a 10/10 on the trainwreck charts. Still amazingly fun to watch. Oh man, I need to get around to LotGH. The prequel movie was awesome though. Voices of a Distant Star... I didn't like it at all. The art was a turnoff, but more than anything, I really really feel that its ending was rushed and contrived. I guess I really didn't get in the mood for it, but whatever. |
    |
| ARXLaevatein Baccano!- Understandable. It was very interesting and engrossing. Lack of character development was a flaw I couldn't ignore though. Durarara!!- I like it, but there were some eps which I found lacklustre and somewhat boring. Hellsing Ultimate- Definitely way superior to Hellsing. It follows the manga very closely and everything's just amazing. The art, the animation and the music are top notch. Kara no Kyoukai 5: Mujun Rasen- The repetition of some scenes was annoying, but at the end I enjoyed it. The guy looks like Emiya from Fate/Stay Night to me though (and that's a bad thing). |
| @AlexSadist-sama I agree to some extent, Shirou was a terrible character in the anime. However, he's a much better character in the source material, sometimes being more awesome than Archer himself! Anyway, about your list, I really couldn't find many 10's, so I'll go by 9's. I thought Canaan was overrated and disappointing, as there were a lot of philosophical ideas that it could've explored that it didn't. Claymore: Good stuff till the ending. Standard reply, I guess. Death Note: Great first half, mediocre second half. So I somewhat think this is too high. |
|
| @ARXLaevatein Baccano!- I can see why you'd like it considering a bunch of people have been telling me to finish. Personally have not watched the OVA's yet... Durarara!!- Agreed for the most part, but I find some episodes tend to be quite a borefest. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann- Understandable considering this used to be first place on MAL. FMP! The Second Raid- Got bored after the first episode =/ |
 |
| Boogiepop Phantom- i saw it back in the day but i dont remember a thing bout it... so i would say its not a very memorable anime... Toradora!-never saw it The Sky Crawlers- it was pretty good but i would give it a 7 or 8 Spirited Away- never saw it Princess Mononoke- never saw it Now and Then, Here and There-never saw it Last Exile- saw a couple of episodes like 6-7 years ago didn't really get into it Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori- never saw it Haibane Renmei-never saw it FLCL- watched it on adult swim back in the day... it was pretty entertaining. Death Note- pretty good anime... Cowboy bebop- awsome :) |
StonerWithABonerApr 23, 2010 3:47 AM
Its better to have burned out than to have never really shined... |
| StonerWithABoner Berserk- Agreeable. I enjoyed it a lot, although |
| @ AlexSadist-sama Sorry,i haven't watched any of your 10's I'm not much into sport animes 'xD Outlaw seems pretty interesting tho o.o |
Hide and Seek The Resistance |
| There's a huge difference between our 10's but I agree with a 10 for Death Note. |
