This has been asked before. I don't have any specific year in mind. Good anime can pop up from time to time in different years.

2003, Princess Tutu, Cromartie High School, and Planetes are among some of my favorites (2004 was really good too actually)

I would say anytime between 97-2001

All of this gens animefans spawned from the love of that time group. Sailor Moon, DBZ, Tenshi, Pokemon, Toonami....

Just a great time.

I'm going to say 2010. I decided to go with 2010 because its where my two favorite animes came from, but that doesn't mean there aren't other years where there were good anime. :3

I liked that other topic that asked about any periods rather than a single year. I think I chose 2005-2008.

Every year is shit, for every good anime in a year there were several bad ones.

But if I had to choose I will have to say 2002-2003 simply because Azumanga Daioh and Gunslinger Girl came out then.

A lot of my favourites seem to come from between '94 and '96. In terms of TV series, you had classics like Slayers and Escaflowne. So many great OVAs and movies from this period too, like Whisper of the Heart, Ghost in the Shell, Iria, Tenchi Muyo, Gunsmith Cats, plus several more obscure titles I won't bother listing.

I voted for the middle ground of 1995.

>> 2006, 2007, 2008 <<

So many really good animes came out in those years including my top 5.
Though since my all time favorite came out in 2008, that's what I voted.

From looking at the anime I've rated a "9" and "10", the year that has the majority would be 2007, and than 2006. Though there's great anime from every year. Early ninty's anime is the best.

Whut, I can't vote 1978 in this poll? Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express 999 in the same year?

...

Yeah, real answer is 2006, though 1998 was pretty awesome
