top 10 anime of all time

I've done a top 10 too many times now. Plus it gets harder as more anime is absorbed into my fragile little hairy head.
::sits it out and plays SBB::

Lol no one likes Judge huh?
Must admit first time I saw it I thought it was pants on a stick!

Project A-Ko was cool, loved the cheesy music to it. And wished my school was like that. Not literally a 'anime' school but you know what I mean.

Still attending a school thats not real but anime would be awesome!
 
Can I resurrect the thread? :D

10 points: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
9 points: One Piece
8 points: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
7 points: Space Dandy
6 points: Steins;Gate
5 points: Berserk
4 points: Naruto/Shippuden
3 points: Black Lagoon
2 points: The Tatami Galaxy
1 point: Gankutsuou

This is of course subject to change, and I had a hard time not adding these to the list:
Bleach
Dragonball Z Kai
Neon Genesis Evangelion
No game no life
Outlaw Star
Rahxephon
Paranoia Agent
Psycho Pass
Eden of the East
Baccano
Durarara
Shiki
And many many more....
I personally tend to rank things by their respective genres also (I.e sci-fi, horror, comedy, shounen) so this was very difficult to do :p

I'm certain the top 3 are my favourites but the others might change tomorrow, very difficult to narrow it down to only 10. ;)

1 One Piece
2 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
3 Gurren Lagann
4 Bakuman
5 Hunter x Hunter (2011)
6 Space Brothers
7 Clannad/Clannad: After Story
8 Hajime No Ippo
9 Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
10 Mushishi

Honourable mentions
Steins;Gate, Death Note, Kaiji, Monster, Berserk, Cowboy Bebop, Fate/Zero, Toradora, A Lull in the Sea, Haikyuu, Chihayafuru
 
I'm just going to throw in a disclaimer that although these are numbered, they're all equal in my heart! It's like asking to pick one of your pets over another, it's just not right. D:

  1. Fullmetal Alchemist (original)
  2. Hyouka
  3. Your Lie in April
  4. Terror in Resonance
  5. Ouran Highschool Host Club
  6. KonoSuba
  7. Pet Girl of Sakurasou
  8. Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon?
  9. Silver Spoon
  10. Dusk Maiden of Amnesia

There are a couple that other people mentioned that I'd like to include, like Bakuman, but while I've read all the manga I never finished the anime. I feel like Durarara!! and Sword Art Online also deserve mentions simply because of how much I really enjoy the cast and worlds, but then for SAO it's let down by GGO and I'm not sure the end of DRR!! really holds up against some of the other shows I picked.
 
Here's a list from me, with the disclaimer that I didn't put a whole lot of thought into the ordering, and that many of these picks I would probably need to watch again to be absolutely sure of their inclusion, due to my not often rewatching shows, even ones I love.

  1. Hyouka
  2. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
  3. Steins;Gate
  4. Planetes
  5. Bakemonogatari
  6. Spice & Wolf
  7. Nichijou
  8. Katanagatari
  9. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
  10. Spirited Away
 
Now this is a tough decision as it includes movies. hmmm.

1. Sword of the Stranger
2. Dragonball (original series)
3. Lucky Star
4. Working!!
5. Your Name
6. Rurouni Kenshin (Season 1 & 2)
7. Mushi-shi
8. Gintama
9. Ano-Hana
10. K-On!
 
1. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
2. Bunny Drop
3. Aria the Animation/Natural/Origination
4. Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou
5. Ping Pong the Animation
6. Clannad After Story
7. Tokyo Godfathers
8. Cross Game
9. Monster
10. Azumanga Daioh

Was tempted to include Patlabor Movie 2 and Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal... roundabout honourable mentions
 
Think ill jump in on this... though a tad late...

1 - Gintama - especially 2nd season onwards

2 - Fate/Zero

3 - Hunter x Hunter

4 - Your Name

5 - Monster

6 - Code Geass

7 - Kill la Kill

8 - Monogatari series

9 - Akira

2. Spirited Away

3. Paprika

4. Little Witch Academia

5. Only Yesterday

6. Puella Magi Madoka Magica

7. R.O.D the TV

8. Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works

9. Junketsu no Maria

10. Flip Flappers
 
  1. Fullmetal Alchemist/Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
  2. Eureka Seven
  3. Fighting Spirit/New Challenger/Rising
  4. Maison Ikkoku

  6. Monster
  7. Berserk
  8. Attack On Titan S1 & S2
  9. Big Windup S1 & S2
  10. Area 88 OVA
Here are the rest of the Anime I have also given 10/10 for
  • 3x3 Eyes OVAs
  • Anohana
  • Blood+
  • Future Boy Conan
  • Gungrave
  • Kaiji S1
  • Last Exile
  • Lull In The Sea
  • One Piece
  • Steins;Gate
I think for me you could consider the top 6 a lock, those will always be there and the Top 2 is unchangeable. Anything from 7 downwards and all the other Anime series I gave 10's to are basically just how I felt as I made this list.

While I'm here these are my Top 10 Anime Films too
  1. Princess Mononoke
  2. Tokyo Godfathers
  3. My Neighbor Totoro
  4. Patema Inverted
  5. Mobile Police Patlabor The Movie
  6. Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust
  7. Whisper of the Heart
  8. Time of Eve The Movie
  9. Perfect Blue
  10. Adieu Galaxy Express 999
Again you can consider the top 5 here a lock with 1,2,3 unchangeable.
 
Not counting films and Ova's and eventhough there's some top tier shows there's also several shows that are more just my favorites instead of being the best. Also because there was too many honorable mentions i did a top 20 instead.

I thought I was only the weird one who likes love/romance shows with shonen/action ones lol. Good to know! I think both genre off set each other perfectly.
