Man... You guys are persistent on this for sure... I'll say it time and time again. There IS no "best" anime. The supposed "best" would HAVE to be an unanimous vote. There are ALWAYS people who disagree, who DON'T find it good.

I never trust rankings for a good reason. Most rankings are plagued by people who have very little experience in anime, and give the most biased of ratings.


Yeah,most people give biased ratings and you give objective ones,lol no.

The best anime IMO is High School DxD. Not joking.

Don't worry OP, the Top 10's change all the time. When I joined Gintama was No. 1 and when I finished watching FMA:B it took the spot. And rightfully so, damn straight.


Wonder what's next,both Gintama and FMA:B deserve being on top imo.

Okay, I think it's the best shounen anime, but that's completely subjective and not a single person can make such a claim as fact. (for any anime in general)


Best shonen? Nah, I'd say RuroKen is a better shonen than FMA.
I disagree with that because the anime isn't complete. Amazing, but incomplete. It has a filler ending. Also, the animation isn't that good compared to FMA.

I think when the new series comes out it can possibly surpass FMA, but I'm seeing too many flaws right now.


Hey, hey, let's not compare animation, shall we? RuroKen was mid 90s, while FMA;B was late 2010s. Too big a time difference. I always forget those fillers (fuck you, Studio Deen), but what is this "new series"?

There's no such thing as best anime of all time. Of course it's the best anime "SO FAR". But one day, something else will top FMAB.

Going by dictionary definition, something which is "biased" is something which is unfair, and in favour of a specific side. In this case, I say that MOST rating systems are biased because of that group of people I was talking about earlier. Those systems ALWAYS favour those people because of the sheer number of them.

Perhaps "biased" was a bad word to use? I guess so.

Brotherhood is the easiest anime show to recommend I know of. Also if someone were to say it was the "best anime ever" I would have no argument against it. It's just that good.

You can't say something is the "best" just like that... To say something is the "best" is effectively, a comparison from that and EVERY other. So you would have to have watched EVERY SINGLE ANIME. Oh, not to mention that you would also have to have the opinion of every other person out there who watches anime, seeing as the "best" is something which is unanimously decided upon...

Best Shounen title at the mo would be a tie between Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter (the original), but combine Naruto with Naruto Shippuden minus the filler and you have a 3 way tie.

Well that could be a good thing. If you have trouble falling asleep for whatever reason, falling asleep to something so nostalgic and perfect in its themes and story is the way to go.

Alright , curse you all . You made me watch the full season .
This thread sounded like "Man , that steak was delicious , so much meat I could eat from it my entire life" . And I definitely love steak.
Even thou' I remember 10 or 12 episodes televised on Animax.

Fma Brotherhood is good to leave on tv trying to fall asleep so you can dream the release of a new anime as good as it, because in reality is impossibile that we'll see again a masterpiece like Fma:B. Nowadays, anime are just fanservice and ecchi, nothing else ( except a few new anime like Hunter x Hunter 2011 or Psycho Pass)

How would you like your steak? Rare? Medium rare? Medium well? Or perhaps overcooked? My point is, don't watch the anime expecting yourself to enjoy it simply because others are.

Imma hit you with the pudding in Christinas hands for teasing me .

*moe mad face*

I like it Medium well!

Ofcourse I'll watch it out of curiosity , when I saw it I didnt had a choice to view it somewhere else and I think it wasnt brotherhood because I saw FMA when I was 11 or 12 years old.

Hell no, how can it be the best ever when it's not even better than the first version


That aside I think it's ranked number one simply because it's "hard to hate". That seems to be the general concensus about MAL ratings in general, most higher series aren't really the best ones, but those who don't have something that is easy to hate. For exemple, people like FMAB because it doesn't stray from the manga. It's an action/adventure series, that's what you would initially expect from pretty much every medium really, the story is straight-forward, there's no mindscrews or anything you might not understand, the story ends happily without an ambiguous ending. Those reasons might be positives for most of you but I wouldn't agree that quickly because anime can be good in different ways, imo fma simply was superior in every possible way to fmab despite it not following the source material(that is one of the «flaws» people complain about any anime really»)


When a series is a masterpiece, it should be so good in it's execution that it makes you acknowledge any detail someone would treat as a «flaw». Also, MAL in general is pretty close-minded anyway, so such rankings shouldn't be taken too seriously.
