Attack on Titan, Fate/Zero and Psycho-Pass maybe
Steins; Gate and Monster too, but I was slightly bored at times while watching them

Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku

the story is great the characters are also as well and the world is really fleshed out the only flaw is that the protagonist may come off as annoying to some but he's meant to be used to flesh out the world and characters rather than go through character development of himself even so the characters around him have amazing and emotional developments that are really impactful

To me, Attack on titan, Vinland saga and the third movie of Berserk. I can't find any flaws no matter how hard I search.

I wouldn't say I'm picky, but with how much I have consumed, not limit to anime, it's hard for me to find something 'flawless'.

A very high bar. I can think of very minor flaws in all the anime which I have scored 10, except for Madoka Magica,
Agreed. Madoka Magica is perfection.
Then Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 3: Hangyaku no Monogatari" comes and ruin the established beautiful ending of the TV series.

My votes would go towards Madoka Magica, InuYasha, and 91 Days.

Madoka Magica had a beautiful animation, and an amazing soundtrack that is littered all over my Spotify till this day (Couldn't tell you the various Magia covers that I have saved). The story was just gripping, and it certainly leaves room for the imagination with its creativity! The main characters are also very amazing in their own ways. (Mami is best girl, lowkey).

91 Days had an amazing story, and felt very immersive with the late 1920s setting - very grounded, which is hard to come by. It didn't rely on the usual tropes, which was a breath of fresh air for me! The animation was lackluster here and there, and certainly could've been better, but it was fitting for the gritty overtones.

InuYasha is not just nostalgic, but it takes me to another world with a plethora of different monsters, villains, and equally loveable characters. Almost every other episode makes me laugh, and it keeps me on the edge of my seat with each one. It just doesn't bore me, and I have been spacing out the viewing thus far because of the many episodes. Probably, going to be the longest anime I'll ever finish. lol

Point is, each of these anime, thus far, have impressed me to the point of obsession. <3

Violet Evergarden hands down.

Although the show isn't for everyone, in terms of quality and storytelling it's pretty much perfect. The art style and animation are some of the best I've seen anywhere, the music used always emphasises the scene's emotion without pulling your attention away from whatever is going on, plus the opening is damn good. The story is just straight up just beautiful with fantastic character and world-building, adapted with an almost perfect pace, making every episode a great story on its own whilst also developing Violet's character and the overall storyline.

The show may not be for everyone, but neither is classical music or art. Violet Evergarden is in a similar position, being flawless but still unappreciated by many.

No media is flawless which is why I can never give a show a 10 because perfection does not exist.

The closest I can think of is Stein's Gate, although honestly "flawless" is a really broad term.

There are many obvious reasons for this, just check the reviews.


saying "just check the reviews" is sort of inverse reaction I would expect lol its like being a parent and saying

ParentA: Of course I love my child

my top 3 are Naruto, March comes in like a lion, and Kaguya-sama. I only consider March comes in like a Lion and Kaguya-sama to be perfect. But all three are forever my favorites.

I don't believe such a thing really exists. March Comes in Like a Lion would be hard for me to critique. Even some of the issues I have heard people bring up such as the slow pacing or the comedy I felt added to the overall atmosphere. The pacing itself wasn't that slow even for early S1.

So I guess I will say March even over my favourite anime Legend of the Galactic Heroes because while LOTGH was an amazing ride the last two arcs were pretty meh. The ending itself being satisfying doesn't make up for that. Genre bias, the films, the first 87 episodes plus a satisfying ending though were enough to keep it as my favourite. It's not a perfect show though up to EP 87 I kinda felt it was.

Really any of my tens outside of LOTGH are series I would have a hard time critiquing. I wouldn't say they can't be but if you asked me the negatives I wouldn't be able to state any off the top of my head (Bebop had one bad episode that is about it).

Despite Madoka being my favourite, I consider Aria to be the closest to perfection and the one most likely to be life-changing in my eyes.

While I've seen Madoka Magica listed many times on this forum, and love it myself - (10/10 rating, all-time favorite character is from the show), I don't think it's flawless. One huge reason being Homura.


Agreed. Homura was my 2nd favourite but Rebellion flipped that on its head.

Cowboy Bebop is the perfect show for me. It has everything I love in a show.
It's good to see Madomagi getting so much love here. It's a perfect show indeed. I gotta say Homura is what made Madomagi a masterpiece for me.

If I'm being genuinely honest it would have to be the Stein's;Gate series. The story does well to bring everything full circle while leaving no loose ends(that I'm aware of).

If I could take specific seasons of an anime, it would be Owarimonogatari second season

it's not near flawless

it is flawless

If I could include manga, I would also go for Monster, but I didn't like the anime as much because the pacing was too slow. Another manga would be Berserk until the start of the Millenium Falcum arc, towards the middle and end it got kinda mid, and the fucking boat was useless totally garbage filler, but Miura seems to be putting his work together with the Fantasia arc

Oh my lord. That war going on right now is so dumb. XD
I enjoy both series, but I could honestly not care which is #1. Oh, also A Silent Voice is perfect to me as well... but I'm a simp to that film.

The only "flawless" one I can think of is Monster honestly, it's not completely flawless but it has only very minor issues that most people will not even notice, although it's not my favorite manga it's in the top 5, it's the only one I've read where there weren't any frustrating plot holes or other issues.
I hope the FBI raids some of the users in this website, and then check their hard drives, plenty of suspicious people.
