Mine would be Attack on Titan, which was also the first anime I've watched.

I always wanted to try out watching anime, and after seeing so many videos I finally decided to watch one. The anime just left me in awe, I never expected anime to be this good. The animation style was really cool and fitting in my opinion and everything like the fights, music etc. were so good. Still one of my favorites till this day.

No idea wasn't using MAL till I was over the 1000 completed.

But I guess it would have been an oldy.

For me it was Lucky Star. Probably consider it a classic now like Trigun or Cowboy Bebop.

Attack on Titan.
But I immediately brought it down to an 8 because it definitely didn't deserve a 10.
Also I only had about 24 completed anime with a mean score of 6.99 back then so I clearly didn't know any better..

I added like 30 animes together when I joined.
And I rate according to genre rather than overall experience so whatever I feel like best anime in that genre I give a 10. I have rated only dbz not according to that cause I watched it when I was young and it was my favourite "cartoon" at that time I don't wanna rewatch and try to find flaws in it. ;)

I added like 20 anime when I joined and only later I considered their ratings. If I were to consider the earliest one I watched and I gave 9, it would be Trigun!
“Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric

"Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki

I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that.

Not a single one. Only tasteless millennials rating 10 solely on enjoyability or because "they cried" do that.
I can find flaws even in the best Ghibli and to get a 10, a workpiece got not only to be technically flawless but also have that timelessness which could make anyone relate. The title must be enough as a standalone. It mustn't pander to anyone's fantasy, be coherent with its thematics, have coherent world building, not have yet another nice premise thrown out, not hide its lazy writing with pseudo sense of mystery (plot holes which hinder full comprehension is never a mark of quality; subtlety in narration is), have flawless characterization (archetypes aren't a problem but one dimensional protagonists are) and get quality plot staging (fine production value: artwork, art direction for sceneries, artful angle of views), and benefit from fine chara design and sound of course.

It mustn't resort in excess to the following cop out Joker:
- the magic/paranormal element
- the alien scientific plot point (introducing technobabble and infodump)
- pseudo depth (never confuse for the sake of posing as a meaningful masterpiece! Rahxephon, anyone?)
- blurry symbolism (I am looking at you Evangelion)
- Surrealism


These last point don't exclude shows to be good. They just cannot be objectively perfect if they hack their way cheaply.

It is also my favorite arc, but I also loved the phantom troupe arc. The fight between chrollo and the Zoldycks was amazing.

Way to go, to rate solely according to premise and hype boner. It's as if I'd look at a painting and criticize only a part of the composition. This way to appreciate a show is retarded.

Monogatari Series: Second Season. After Nadeko Medusa I knew this show was going to be 11/10.

Hell, this is the only show which made me to rewatch it after a week.

Cowboy Bebop.

DBZ introduced me to anime, and let me know that "this is more than what American cartoons are doing"
However, Bebop is what defined my love for anime, and solidified that it was truly a medium that could evoke not only action & excitement, but also drama & emotion.
It was also a show where I just reveled in how great the art was and it introduced me to that super-detailed, dark, gritty art style... which unfortunately seems to be almost entirely absent from anime nowadays. :/

I change my scores a lot, back then my first 10 was probably Baccano! but it's not a 10 anymore because back then 8 was pretty much my average and now my average is 5. My first 10 since I've been using the new (correct) scoring system is Mushishi.

Hunter x Hunter (2011) was the first show I rated a 10.

And actually looking back on the decision, I greatly take pride on the fact that I rated it a 10. It's my favorite show of all time and I think that if the show had ended right after the Chimera Ant arc, more 10/10 scores would be scored and it would be rated a little higher, maybe even would've overtaken FMA:B. Though I can greatly relate to people inclining to give HxH a 9 rather than a 10/10, (As Chairman Election Arc gave a really satisfying end to the series, it was still greatly outmatched by the sheer greatness of the CA arc) I still think that the fact I rated it a 10 is the best thing I did looking back at my anime watching history. It's a superb show and a true masterpiece.

Dragon Ball Z because I was a fucking idiot child. Other than that though, probably The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.

I think I might have seen K-On! Season 2 before then which at the moment is what I'd say is my all time favourite anime. Though I actually only gave it a 9/10 on my first viewing. It wasn't until further re-watches later down the line that my score got bumped up to a perfect 10/10.

It's the opposite for me, because I need to watch HxH. Never gotten around to watching it for some reason.


Both of you need to do that. HxH and FMA:B are amazing.
