I'll say the monogatari series but it might have been more subjective rather than an objective opinion.

If you don't like an anime that has as many dialogue as words in the book you might not like the Monogatari Series. But, i really enjoy those types of shows

It has a an interesting cast and it's filled with action (although only a little), Comedy, Drama, and romance.

So to me it's a near perfect.

for me, the show which has the least flaws is probably Steins;Gate , that anime did everything right in my eyes

For me it has to be Madoka Magica. It's perfect in every aspect.

There are no such thing as perfect anime or flawless but nearly perfect is exist.anyway,it's up to you whether the show is flawless or not.if you think it's perfect then it's perfect for you although some people might not agree with you and will find the flaw in the anime.bcz everybody have their own way of viewing thing.

This is basically asking for favourites. To me all shows that I considered to be near flawless in my eyes are sangatsu no lion, K-ON!! and Steins;Gate for now.

Definitely AoT.
A modern masterpiece where every scene packs a punch. The foreshadowing and the metaphors are mind-boggling. The greatest story ever told in anime history. AoT is one of those fewest shows that can be compared to GOT.
Some people might point out S1 as an imperfection but I'll say the cons of S1 is what made AoT more appealing. In S2 and S3, the show turned into a multi-dimensional show from a one-dimensional show. That's why I think S1 is heavily underrated sometimes because the change of dimensions is one of the thousands reasons that AoT is close being the GOAT anime

Of course, I will only presume to judge what I've actually seen myself, as like most folks I haven't seen the vast majority of anime actually in existence out there so can't answer the question in quite a literal fashion.

But judging solely based on what I've seen, which is about 125 series at this point, I break it down as follows:

Out of only 7 series I've rated with a 10/10, I consider only one truly perfect in the sense that there isn't a single thing in length/duration, direction and execution, writing, music, voice acting, visual art, and overall stylistic flourishes which I would change from second one of the first scene of the first episode to the last second of the series finale.

I can't really say that about any other anime or any media entries generally, really, where I wouldn't desire alteration of a single frame or even tweaking of the most minor detail from opening to closing.

That anime for me is Koi Kaze which I actually have ranked at #2 in my Top 20. There are really no other series I would classify as 100% perfect in every single aspect, throughout the anime medium and really in any non-anime media either.

Then, there are three other anime I would consider as close to perfect as could possibly be, which I would describe as "near perfect" or "perfect to me", which are 3 of my other 10/10s - Inuyasha (my #1 ranked series), Haibane Renmei (my #3 ranked series), and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni/Kai (my #4 ranked series) - all of these have perhaps 1, 2, or 3 flaws which are negligible in my estimation but detract ever so slightly from being considered fully perfect in the technical sense to me. It doesn't take away from the beauty and awe they inspire otherwise, but there are just one or a few minor details I would have changed or could complain about.

Inuyasha, for example, would be the next closest candidate for what I would view as fully perfect and would attain it if episodes 99 - 193 were done in cel animation style to maintain uniformity with the first half of the series which were (episodes 1 - 98), and if the last 26 episodes of the series in the form of The Final Act weren't as rushed and condensed but doubled in length at least rather than compressing 2/5ths of the manga due to the hiatus situation with its production arrangement. And maybe a few less Koga episodes replaced with someone/something else since he's my least favorite character. Again, these aren't enough at all to detract from its epicness and majesty as the grandest story ever told; just enough to negate literal perfection.

Yeah, I can't honestly think of a single other anime which doesn't get a single thing, even the most minor thing wrong, from start to finish in the entirety of its runtime apart from Koi Kaze.

If you don't agree, bring it on. I think can do a decent job at explaining its perfection lol.

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.

Attack on Titan. It's a work of art. A masterpiece. Eren is the GOAT.
I also consider Madoka Magica as a flawless series. Homura is a magnificent character and the best thing about the series.
Also, Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Cowboy Bebop are 10/10 for me.

Shingeki no kyojin. For many the start may seem slow but after s1 i think that the show executes everything perfectly; from the story to the animation or the direction of the episodes. I personally think that SnK has one of the best well written stories out there and the music always gives you them goosebumps. Moreover, the way the characters develop throughout the story is just crazy. Add in the action scenes with the epic animation then it just gives you an almost perfect show imo! Only downside for many might be the animation but in my opinion i think its more than enough, especially when you take in account the amount of LARGE titans that the animators have to draw and the confusing asf ODM gear animations but i personally think that the story carries the show in every shape and form.

IMO it's Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It's a masterclass in storytelling. It has a compelling story with interesting characters. I love the main characters, especially Homura-chan. She is the character that makes the whole series work. An absolute legend!
