I started thinking this question after watching Death Note, FMA:B, and Your name. First off, when I ask this question, I'm not implying that there isn't anime out there already that's equal to/exceeds these shows. When you look at the score of these anime, you'll see that they are considered near masterpieces by almost everyone that watches them. It doesn't matter if your a seasoned anime consumer or someone that's completely new to the community. These shows are regarded as the best. Just look at FMA:B. It's got a 9.25. So I'm that aspect, the anime that takes its place as the best would have TO BE a masterpiece. Personally I don't think that will happen. I doubt that a anime series, no matter how good, will ever surpass these shows. I myself didn't even really like FMA. But with that said, I could not deny that it's near perfect in all categories. Sound, animation, story, characters, every category is great. So my question to you guys is, Will these titans ever be surpassed? Remember, the only thing to ever surpass a titan, is a god. Edit: I'm only using MALs rating for these shows as a example. Feel free to check any other anime rating/review site to confirm that said anime are regarded as the best. Keep in mind that I don't care what one region says us the best. I only pay attention to anime rating sites that critics/consumers from all around the world have access to. These 3 anime (the majority of the time) are regarded as the best of the best (on the majority of sites) |

When the next show that isn't ecchi or harem comes along. Bonus if it has adult characters, nevermind that they are merely upscaled teenagers in the story. -MAL /s EDIT: This is sarcasm. F*ck shows that gets a free pass from criticisms just because they're not fanservice galore. That's a f*cking low standards. It has been irksome to repeatedly run into these vocal minority. I get it. You’re all sick and tired of high school harem moe ecchi shows. Cool. But are you really that desperate and pathetic that you’ll gladly lap up mediocrity for as long as it’s not ecchi? Guess what, Koe no Katachi, an anime about “dem dumfuk teenagerz”, still managed to tackle more mature and challenging themes than Fune wo Amu with a shorter runtime. I love, love, love Fune wo Amu, but anybody who cannot see it for the timid barely above mediocrity series that it is needs a CT scan in the cognitive centers of their brains *smug Sheldon Cooper face* (Finally, I get to use that reference). It's a story that doesn't even resolves or even fully develop its primary Man vs Self conflict, fails to develop the friendship that would have provided a most solid and maybe even powerful core of what aspires (and fails) to be a character-driven drama, and introduced the most rushed love story I ever cared to remember because it's too scared that it might not sell without one. I'm not in the mood for rants right now so I'll leave it at that. |

How can you say that FMA is perfect in every category and then also say that you didn't really like it. |
What's the difference? |

Probably whenever Henneko gets a second season. In all seriousness, there's always anime to watch. Don't need to raise your hopes up on upcoming series being masterpieces, because you'll only raise your expectations and are more likely to be disappointed. Even if there aren't many good anime, there are still terrible anime so terrible that they are unintentional comedies. So just enjoy. |
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |

I dont find magical anime otherwise known as mahou shoujos interesting. Maybe when I was like 13 or even 12 I would enjoy them. I feel like a lot of creators focus more on that rather than shows such as the ones that were mentioned. Harem pisses me off too. BUT who knows maybe you'll find a gem somewhere within all the "non" masterpieces. |

deafnote said: I'm soaking, when will a anime come along that's considered a masterpiece by critics and 99 percent of the people that watch itLike... an actual masterpiece? Or just the next overrated popular anime? Probably won't get another hit until sometime next year. Or later if 2018 is anything like the first half of this year |

The notion, that these anime are masterpieces just because they are rated this highly, is flawed to begin with. And there will surely be an anime, that will be rated higher, in the future. And there are already anime, which surpassed the mentioned anime. |

I haven't watched Death Note (I have read the manga) or FMA: Brotherhood, but I can honestly say that I don't think your name is a masterpiece. Yea it's pretty darn good, but I really don't understand why everyone is losing their shit over it and calling it a masterpiece. |

Well it's been 6 years since we've seen anything as widely acclaimed as FMAB, S;G, or HxH - and these shows all began airing within 2 years of each other (CRAZY) so we might be past the period where shows of that quality are made. You're best bet is probably movies - stuff like Your Name and Koe no Katachi (haven't seen either but they seem to be doing really well) |

MAL works base on majority thus popularity got a lot to do with the score if you want some master pieces, look for anime that are around the 50-150th in top anime base on score i believe that there're plenty of series surpass those in term of quality (this is also very subjective topic) just that those shows are more popular (they also have to be quite good on their own) Kimi no Nawa is a good show, but i don't think it's a master piece, but it popularity is undoubtedly. Evidently, it's now the "best" anime base on score on MAL rather than hoping something to surpass it in term of score on MAL, you should strive to find anime that you yourself considered master piece |

For OP, we'll get another one soon enough, though unlike FMA I don't feel that Your Name or Koe no Katachi deserve the hype. Every time a new Gintama comes it becomes rated #1 before the first episode even airs. |
