Yes, growing up with NGE, always loved it and always will.


Since the rebuilds are utter shit, literally destroying all the characters, story and even the franchise weren't able to hold a twig against the series, all my hopes of letting this show die peacefully are gone.

Gods dammit, they are the worst thing that has happened to anime in the past 15 years, a disgrace for NGE and all it has built up.

Yes if there'll be a "proper" Tsukihime anime and/or a perfect anime adaptation of Rewrite.

Probably not. Most people on MAL are/have the following:

Under 15

Can't appreciate great dialogue

Short attention span

Have crappy taste to begin with.


Stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Akira, Ghost In The Shell is too much for most MAL users brains to process correctly. Sadly that's the truth.

Gurren Lagann. So nah; most people who watch anime for something other than strictly entertainment value (unlike myself) would consider it a joke I think.

Besides, there's far too many other shows which, in my opinion, are much more well-rounded. It may be up there, but it'll never be in the top spot, and I'm fine with that because I don't think it deserves it...despite being my favorite.

Do people really have one anime that they rate over all others? I have like under ten but more than five favs whose order would depend entirely on my mood. With that setup the answer is always yes.

I do. I've rated Aria the Origination 10/10. My consciousness won't allow it to be grouped with any other anime unless it's on equal or similar footing. As a result, it's the only one I've rated a 10/10.

I actually WANT my #1 to be topped though. That means I'll have watched something better, which sounds pretty good to me :)

Or they just aren't that good, at least not by today's standards. It's not that series made in the future are always better than series in the past, but they are more likely to be better due to what is widely available today that wasn't available back then. Much like video games actually. Is Halo 4 better than Sonic The Hedgehog 2? Maybe so, maybe not depending on who you ask, but when you compare them, you can see how far we have come, and we could not have made Halo 4 back then.

No they just as good if not better than most it is just the animation quality which puts many people off and the depth that they bring along with them

I have been watching anime for a while now and my top anime has changed multiple times sometimes on an a daily basis. It is more the fact that, for me at least, there is no anime that I can distinguish being the best out of my list. However it is also that there are many anime that I just haven't watched.

For example I recently watched Mushi-Shi and that jumped to my top five within ten seconds of finishing the anime.

So in short there will always be an anime that can top my top anime it's just a fact of life

I don't think so. I've watched too much anime already. Maybe something will come along in a few years, but looking at my 'plan to watch' list, there's nothing that speaks to me as "hey, this could be top 10 quality".

I was actually at your amount of anime watched when I found or realized my favorite anime. And if you've watched that much anime then you know that anime you had low expectations for can really surprise you.

Oh, I've still got a loooong way to go. There's people with over a thousand completed that are still actively watching anime. That seems kinda crazy to me right now.

Really? Maybe I should keep digging then. I think I've already found another 10/10 ("Touch") but it ain't quite my all-time favorite.

Yes though it was through rewatching. Never thought that most of my 10s deserved a 10 until rewatching, even though the stories didn't change, watching them years after my first watch changed the way I saw them. An older anime, that's always a way to go to find new 10s. There's also stuff like rewatching and shorts to help you find 10s. Dig and dig but don't expect to find one that will rival your top, that creates too high of an expectation that usually lowers what you think of the anime and your top usually has special meaning so it's hard to find a new anime that will overcome that.

(best I can tell, this thread is about each person's own "top" list...)

I didn't think I find anything that could surpass Le Portrait de Petite Cossette... but then I watched Madoka. I think it's only a matter of time before I find something to top that, but I think it will be a while. Cossette was at the top of my list for probably at least 5 years, so I don't anticipate anything will beat Madoka for a few years.

I suspect that my taste in anime will change over the years. Something I might never consider to be that "great" right now, might take the top spot in a few years.

... but perhaps this is just wishful thinking.

Possibly, I've yet to see anything that can top Beck, but my favorite is definitely subject to change because my favorites have been topped many times before because I've been watching anime since the 90s.

I actually thought the OP meant would "your favorite anime ever be on top" as in on top of the rankings on this site. I think that would be a somewhat interesting topic.

Any, I agree with the idea that say your favorite will never be topped is pretty much the same as handicapping other series and never really giving them a chance to top your favorite series. So, yeah, I wouldn't mind if mine is ever topped. Then again, I'm not sure what is my absolute favorite series anyway.

There are probably hundreds of shows better than my favourites that aren't to my liking or I haven't seen
