What are your Top 10 anime?
-
Here's my list of top 10 anime.
Saved you a click (roughly ordered by release date):
- K-On - I didn't think that I would be into the Cute-Girls-Doing-Cute-Things subgenre. K-On changed my mind.
- Konosuba - I enjoyed it so much that I had to check out its source material, making Konosuba the first light novel I've read.
- Cells at work! - It is entertaining and educational. Apparently, the information presented is accurate too.
- Cautious Hero
::: spoiler Cautious Hero mild meta / non-plot spoiler
Its plot twist caught me off guard the most.
:::- The Demon Girl Next Door - I didn't think I would be into the Magical Girl genre. TDGND changed my mind.
- 86 - It left such a deep impression on me; possibly my top anime. Also, it is my favourite "Gundam" show.
- Belle - This is my favourite anime movie.
- The Witch from Mercury - It brought me back into anime after a long hiatus. Without WfM, I may not have watch a number of other top anime.
- 100 Girlfriends - Its source material is the only long-running manga that I'm following. Also, it's quite possibly the only good harem anime.
- Frieren - It is The Lord of the Rings of anime. I daresay it is the best produced anime so far.
Here are other top anime that didn't make the list.
Some reasons for some of them not being in my top 10:
- they are not as special - see reasoning above
- they do not have consistently 10/10 seasons - e.g. Bofuri season 1 vs season 2
- they lack rewatchability for me - I have rewatched at least some scenes of my top 10 anime
- their story is still ongoing, which means future seasons, if any, could be lackluster
- they are simply not as entertaining as my top 10
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.

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:
- Bocchi The Rock!
- Dungeon Meshi
- Sousou no Frieren
- MakeIne: Too Many Losing Heroines!
- Dandadan
- The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Really Really REALLY Love You
- K-On!
- The Quintessential Quintuplets
- Chainsaw Man
- Gushing over Magical Girls š
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.

That do be like that sometimes. Entertainment is subjective; humour even more so.
Kazuma isn't very likable, he just seems selfish and gross.
He is. IMO he follows the trend of anti-hero protagonist who behaves like a dick (e.g. Deadpool). I can see why people dislike him.
I dunno, maybe I'll get back to it at some point.
Personally, I hardly give dropped anime second chances. I don't have a lot of time, but there are so many anime out there. Every minute I spent trying to make it work is time I could have spent watching another show, anime or not. Or reading another book or manga, or doing something else in my life.
I'd imagine it'll be the same for most people. Of course, if we have all the time in the world, it will be a different story.

I should really pick up QQ. I heard that the protagonist is the only decent one in the harem subgenre aside from Rentarou.

Special shout outs to DanDaDan, Solo Leveling, Sakamoto Days, and Kaiju #8. They're all pretty good, but they're all still ongoing, and I usually gotta rewatch an anime in full once or twice before I'll consider it a favorite.

Well my only real exposure to harem MCs are these two, lol. I liked QQ a lot, it's a little slow at first but it's very charming. Fuu-kun in QQ is a good guy, he's not a saint like Rentaro but the show also isn't batshit insane like 100 Girlfriends, so he's more of a real person. You always like him though, at least I did, and you believe he cares about all of them. At the very least it's a fun light watch.
