| as simple as the title says, is there a chance that someday your #1 anime will be dethroned or are you just like me who no matter how great of a show comes, the #1 stop is fixed maybe #2 onwards spot could be replaced. also what is that #1 anime for you ? |
| Clannad is pretty special and they don't make them like that anymore. It will be my #1 for ever and ever. |
 |
| The Promised Neverland, Yeah, The bar is very high but it can be reached so it would take a very long time. |

Yeah, i'm not changing Queen's Blade N°1 spot for anything else. |
| Flexible, at least in the sense that I don't have a "fixed" favourite anime. In fact, I don't even have a single favourite anime, and I consider all my 10s more or less equal. Is it possible to naturally have a fixed favourite anime? Can you really completely preclude the possibility of any anime out there possibly becoming your new favourite? |

| It’s definitely flexible, not sure why it wouldn’t be. The monogatari series has been my #1 for a good while, but if I eventually watch something that I enjoy more than it I have no issue moving that show to 1st on my favorites list. As it is, I have considered multiple times when rewatching whether to move Yorimoi from 2 to 1, but still think I prefer monogatari slightly more. That being said, my top 4 are on another level from the rest of my favorites and will likely be hard to displace so I don’t see it happening anytime soon. |
  |
| My number 1 spot is flexible to some degree. Over the years it changed many times but for the past 3 years it's been interchangeable with three anime. Those being: Bakemonogatari, Serial Experiments Lain, & FLCL. |
| Theoretically, it's supposed to be flexible but after so many years no anime has yet to top Fate/Zero. Fate/Zero is one of the first 50 anime I've watched, not that I watched many anime since but it's been nearly 5 years and no one has surpassed it in my opinion |
 |
| It's flexible, over the past few years I've been really good at choosing anime I actually like. Every now and then I'll find a new masterpiece that may or may not become my new #1. |
 |
Flexible, as I always hope that I come across even better anime than my number one someday in the future ^.^ |

| I don’t really have a number 1 anime, idk how to rank every 10 i gave, so I don’t bother changing my favs anymore, I guess it’s just equal for me. Can’t say the same thing with manga coz my most fav manga has recently been dethroned. |
| well, i watch a lot less anime these days than i used to. that could be me growing out of it, or anime becoming worse (i'm guessing a bit of both). which means that the possibility that an anime comes out and dethrones my current favorite, which has been my favorite for over a decade, is a bit unlikely imo. |
| at this point i no longer have just 1 anime as my absolute fav, i currently have 4 which i have on a league on their own, its very likely ill found another one to add in this tier, however i found unlikely i will ever find 1 that will surpass this tier. |
| Flexible for sure. If there is an anime in the future that I consider to be my new #1 favorite, then I see no reason why I shouldn't be honest about it being my new #1 favorite. |
| As long as my respect towards Tooru remains. My top 1 anime is fixed |
| But it's so good, I've never known anybody like you But it's so good, I've never dreamed of nobody like you And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine |
It used to be flexible, but now I think Star☆Twinkle Pretty Cure is the peak. I'm probably not going to change that. |

| My #1 changed about 3 times towards 12 years of watching so its flexible. You can never say that there won't be better anime than your #1 because we have each season xy new animes/sequels. |
| All my top 5s anime are from 15 - 18 years ago, It can't be changed since I'm just a sucker for nostalgia thing. Watching those anime on my fat computer with my relatives, I miss those times and always reminiscence of it till now. |
trust me, I'm a moon expert |
| Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood has been my favorite anime since I first watched it, but a few shows like Mob Psycho 100, Mushoku Tensei, and Frieren have given it a run for its money. |
| It's very much flexible, however, it will take a truly special anime to replace it. My last 10/10 anime came out in 2010, I have watched a lot of 9/10 anime since, but not many quite make it to my 10/10, let alone replacing my favorite. Baby Steps (2014) came close, I had it at 10/10 but I changed it to 9/10 considering the animation flaw (off model characters). |

| Unlikely, but if it ever happens I wouldn't mind. It's Monster |
| "Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging onto them." -Souske Aizen "Bleach"  |
| ye its flexible but for decades now gurren lagann remains the top |
| Considering I have about five or six #1 anime I wouldn't say the top spot is fixed no. These five or six mentioned animes just keep taking and losing that top spot depending on my mood of the moment :) |
| Completely flexible, more like I have plenty of anime that I like but I never really thought about which would be my new #1 after I started hating Kyo Kara Maoh which was my #1 for a long time. |
 |
| Kino's been #1 for years now, and even if she gets dethroned someday, nothing will ever replace Dragon Ball in my heart. |
 |
| Steins;Gate was very special for me, it has been my favorite for quite a couple of years. If I encounter any show that felt better than this, then I'll gladly claim that as my #1. |
| If any anime should replace Monster as my #1 then the world would be shattered. |

| Very flexible- heck I don't even have A favorite anime at the moment; rather just a handful that I really really really like. I guess my favorite anime is so flexible that it could be whatever I'm currently watching, as long as it's really good; I am very prone to recency bias. Actually scratch all that- I haven't finished it yet, but when I do, I think I can almost safely say that Freiren will become my favorite anime. |

| all my top 7 anime are equally beloved by me, I can only add more to the table |
    |
| If I'm gonna have to look at Anime in a critical manner, I don't have a problem moving Gintama around the list. I'm aware that my love for Gintama has more to do with how it affected me during a certain point of my life than its overall quality as an Anime so, I don't have a problem acknowledging its flaws and consider that some Anime may have had done better in some important Anime aspects. But that's only if I have to rank things critically as a story/show. As a favorite, Gintama will always be at the top of my list. |

| Nothing will ever beat Redo of Healer. It's a perfect story. The only thing it's missing is a 2nd season and sex scenes with the black haired demon lord girl. |
| It is flexible. If I like something more than my current favorites. It may be my number one. I am not a biggest fanboy of some series. |
 |
| Def fixed. Especially since it was my first too. NGE is locked in first forever |
  |
| Evangelion is too personal to me for anything to dethrone it at this point, but never say never I guess. |
Take care of yourself |
| I don't have an all-time top favorite. Just a pool of shows that I really like that gets bigger and bigger. |
 |
| Well, to be honest, there are several shows I consider as my "top1" ones. All of them are just placed ex aequo on my personal list of favorites. But assuming we are talking about one show I find as my absolute favorite anime in a certain category, then, I say its position is rather stable, but not fixed. It's hard to dethrone my favorite anime from its spot on the top, but I don't consider it as impossible. After all, my list of favorite shows has changed multiple times over the course of many years. |
| It always switches between jojo and one piece so fixed ig |
 |
| #1 place is always reserved for Date A Live no matter how good of an anime I watch. They can compete for the second place but the first is always occupied. |
 -Tohka is better than Kurumi. You can't change my mind. |
| 86 Eighty-Six will forever remain as my number one, it’s become so special and invaluable to me that I really can’t see anything topping it ever. |

| @Archean-Return Archean-Return said: Is it possible to naturally have a fixed favourite anime? ★ i think it actually is because most people have attachment issues which makes them hyperfixated to something. Can you really completely preclude the possibility of any anime out there possibly becoming your new favourite? ★ well of course not, but i think #1 anime is "at top" because perhaps as i said "hperfixation" but also there is history behind why it is at top and maybe most people cling onto it, sometimes liking it as you know small personality trait. but ofc i don't speak for everyone :) |

Andiff said: It’s definitely flexible, not sure why it wouldn’t be. uh i think a lot people just keep their most "special" anime at top and when i say #1 i mean their most fave ...not really the best one they've watched but ofc people are different hence some like to keep switching with better things they come across and some just have that one anime that they hold close to their heart. like as you said monogatari is very special to you...something like that but instead of you just enjoying it, some of us just get hyperfixated with it. no harm in being any of the two of course. |

| @wxsb this is what makes them special because you just not miss the anime you miss the memories attached with it. we humans put so many scales for things we adore so i can see why it's hard to replace things that are at top, like #1 anime in this topic. |

| @soniyay yeah I get this, as I don’t care about “objective quality” of shows either and place much more importance on my overall feelings about the anime, I just don’t understand why it wouldn’t be possible to watch an anime eventually that becomes more “special” to you then whatever show currently is now. I’m assuming prior to you watching whatever your current number 1 is, you originally had something else there that your current #1 replaced, so I just don’t understand why it couldn’t happen again was all I was saying. |
