MOST BASIC LIST EVER

If everyone else enjoy the anime that you enjoy, it just means that you've got great taste.

1. Gintama
2. Nichijou
3. Lucky Star
4. Hidamari Sketch
5. Non Non Biyori
6. K-On
7. Ichigo Mashimaro
8. Kiniro Mosaic
9. Azumanga Daioh
10. Yuyushiki

Lots of CGDCT!

I'm still relatively new to anime, having hated on it for my entire life until I actually gave it a chance in 2021, so keep that in mind with my list. I also have a hard time going in numeric order so these are my unordered top 10.

• Ghost in the Shell (the whole franchise)
• Cowboy Bebop
• Legend of the Galactic Heroes (specifically Die Neue These)
• Attack on Titan
• Spy Family
• Anything by Makoto Shinkai (especially Suzume)
• A Silent Voice
• A Sign of Affection (don't judge me)
• My Happy Marriage (again, don't judge me)
• Demon Slayer (reluctantly)

I say reluctantly on Demon Slayer because I have my criticisms of it, but the animation and the overall concept are really enjoyable. I just don't like the super tropey "WaTeRbReAtHiNg 254th FoRm! MeNtAl ExPlAnATiOnS!" thing. I know that's pretty common in anime but as a writer and former hater, that still drives me nuts. Show, don't tell.

As for the two "don't judge me" ones, I say that jokingly because my preferences are typically for mature, complex narratives more than romance stories but I feel like both of those are really maturely-written for romance anime. A Sign of Affection was utterly wholesome and My Happy Marriage's Cinderella archetype with magic systems and mild political drama is pretty fun, especially given how gorgeous the art is.

As for GITS, that was my gateway to anime in general. After loving Cyberpunk 2077, I wanted more cyberpunk-themed media. GITS was one of the top recommendations so I decided to break down my barrier and check it out. It ended up completely changing the paradigm for me when it came to anime and it's still probably my number 1 simply because it's so heavily philosophical and beautifully-made.

LOGH Die Neue These was a funny one for me because one of the first anime shows I ever had recommended to me was the original one from the 80s. I couldn't find anywhere to watch it (legally) and so I never really gave it a go until I got a Crunchyroll sub for a bit in late 2022/early 2023. I ended up semi-bingeing it and I really loved it, the story was great and the setting had all the right classic Star Wars vibes for me (but with a more complex plot behind it all).

AoT became a favorite for me because I was looking for something to give me at least some of the same vibes that Avatar: The Last Airbender did, in terms of the epic scope of it all. Aside from a very awful first half of season 4 (screw Gabi), I really loved that one.

A Silent Voice is a masterpiece, not just of anime, but of storytelling. Not many stories can deliver me a true gut punch but that one did. Same with Shinkai's works, all of the ones I've seen have been phenomenal stories with some of the prettiest art and animation I've ever seen.

Bebop is pretty self-explanatory given its reputation. Aside from a semi-underwhelming finale, the world building was great, the art is still some of my favorite and the plot was remarkably well-written.

Finally, we have Spy Family, which is just about the funniest and most wholesome piece of media I've ever seen. That one, I've even succeeded in getting some family members into, to the point where I didn't even have to see Code White alone because they wanted to see it.

Based on my MyAnimeList that I haven't visited in a long while and evaluated how my scoring would have changed until now. Also I rarely watch anime as much as 15 years ago. Just based on those that I gave 8, 9 and 10/10 and reevaluated just now lol.

1. Senki Zesshou Symphogear series
2. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (series)
3. Made in Abyss
4. Kakushigoto

15. Steins;Gate
16. Little Witch Academia

Considering all the other 9 anime you listed, Demon Slayer getting in your list as one of the more generic shounen anime plot wise is a miracle in my opinion.

Quintessential CGDCT list if I ever saw one. Yes, including Gintama.

From my AniList which I regurarly use-

1. A Silent Voice
2. Death Note
3. DanDaDan
4. The Apothecary Diaries
5. Monster
6. Spy X Family
7. Mob Psycho 100
8. Black Clover
9. Stein Gate
10. One Punch Man

I actually do top 15 so here 5 more.

11. Parasyte
12. Pluto
13. Kaiju No 8
14. Redline
15. Tomo chan is a girl.

I have 24 anime on my list with a max score, used to watch a lot but haven't watched in a long time. 10 of my favorites in alphabetical order, trying to also pick some lesser known ones:

1. Chihayafuru
2. Fuujin Monogatari (Windy Tales)
3. Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight
4. Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku
5. Katanagatari
6. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
7. Ping Pong The Animation
8. Serial Experiments Lain
9. Uchouten Kazoku
10. Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei (Tatami Galaxy)

Based Chihayafuru, shame that it seems to have stopped like half way through the manga.

I just started watching anime in the last 6 months or so, before that I had mostly only seen Ghibli stuff and like DBZ on Toonami when I was 12. Since I started, though, I've been making pretty good progress through shows. Here's my top 10 of what I've watched since I started this project:

1. Bocchi The Rock!
2. Dungeon Meshi
3. Sousou no Frieren
4. MakeIne: Too Many Losing Heroines!
5. Dandadan
6. The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Really Really REALLY Love You
7. K-On!
8. The Quintessential Quintuplets
9. Chainsaw Man
10. Gushing over Magical Girls 👀

I'm in the middle of Blue Box and Roshidere right now and they're both pretty good, though I don't think either will supplant anything in this list. I did not expect to like rom-com and slice-of-life stuff as much as I clearly do.

After falling in love with 100 Girlfriends, I watched the first season of KonoSuba on a recommendation and didn't like it much. I didn't hate it but if it wasn't only 10 eps I probably would have dropped it. For whatever reason most of the comedy in KonoSuba doesn't land for me like 100 Girlfriends does. Kazuma isn't very likable, he just seems selfish and gross. The girls are fun, if mostly a little one note. I get the Megumin thing though, she's great and I see why she's so loved.

I dunno, maybe I'll get back to it at some point.

1. Re:Zero
2. Steins;Gate
3. Fate (Everything except Stay Night and UBW)
