As someone who hasn't seen made in abyss yet, i can't say whether the plot is too shounen-y or seinen-ish. But the site where this manga is serialized in specialize in publishing seinen manga and other obscure titles. so it still considered seinen whether you like it or not. meanwhile the titles that you mentioned (dragonball, naruto, Hxh, JoJo, etc) are under shonen category because they're published under a shonen magazine. Thank you, someone understands ahah |

| hunter x hunter 2011. imo its the perfect/best shonen and i'll probably never see anything else that compares to it. |
 |
| I identified myself so strongly with Sangatsu's no Lion story to the point that I just know that no other drama anime will ever make me feel like that. It's almost impossible. |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| For me, it's Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, When They Cry (Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni), and Hunter x Hunter (2011). I never understood the hype for Attack On Titan and Neon Genesis Evangelion. I thought they were just average. (Though AOT has my favorite anime soundtrack.) I've seen everything in both of those franchises too. |
 |
| I worry I'll never find an anime as good as Hunter x Hunter again. Possibly a manga, I'm not too sure. |

| Shingeki no Kyojin and Code Geass for me. |
| I've been watching anime since elementary day but currently I watched Paradise kiss. The plot was quiet interesting because I didn't expect about the ending. The ending was awesome and unique. I don't know if all of you watched already paradise kiss. I suggest try to do some research and figure it out. |
Yeah, what's wrong with that? Some people like listing and reading others listing. The purpose should be the same has every thread out there; sharing an opinion and reading others'. Basically spending some time talking about stuffs u like I guess? OT: Re:Zero |
HopefulNihilist said: It's not a listing thread. On MAL, you can list your favorites. But favorites = automatically "so good you feel like you won't encounter something like it again". For example, Kill la Kill is one of my favorites, but I didn't think it was so good that, "I won't find something like it again". Does that answer your question? yeah this just sounds like "list your fav anime" as you just said... vhagar8 said: Yeah, what's wrong with that? Some people like listing and reading others listing.

Kuraya said: lol alright then. if you think plot armour enhances the plot and makes the show more interesting, go for it!Comander-07 said: Well I dropped monster because I got spoiled about it everywhere anyway and it was super boring to watch. LoGH on the other hand is a grand sci fi opera with a shit ton of characters, kinda complex plots, exciting battles aaaaand those all get ruined by walking talking plot devices one side has who never take damage, teleport around space and get used whenever the author felt like it. They are completely different shows, so my reasons to drop monster have nothing to do with my statement about LoGH. I just want to warn people so they dont fall in the same trap I did. Which I did exactly because everyone hails it as perfect. You expect some grown up story without shounen BS, which is exactly what you get- except for when you dont and actions dont have consequences anymore. No need to be defensive about it. It's not boring, but it true it takes time to build this kind of story that asks so many questions. Well it does, I'm referring to your general taste, basically I can't trust you. BTW: We have pretty much the same tatse. I never said Monster was bad or boring, I said it was boring for me though and I dropped it around EP 18 so I obviously dont know if or how good it was later. |

| Idk if there is any show I’d say is so good that there will never be anything better... its kinda hard to compare quality like that. But there are a few shows that have such an unique vibe that I dont think there will be anything like them. For example, Haruhi Suzumiya - There is a shit ton of school club anime, but most have a different focus point... some are strictly focused on romance/harem, others are plain comedy/SoL and some have an action/battle element. So far I have seen nothing quite like Haruhi, which has this nice balance of mystery, comedy and subtle romance/drama. Another - This one is kinda random, as horror anime tends to be meh and kinda rare. But imo Another has an unique atmosphere as well. Its this nice mix of creepy mystery elements and kinda chill SoL vibes. There are many shows with that Mirai Nikki-esque survival game vibe, but I havent seen anything else like Another. ( idk maybe Shiki is similar, but i havent watched that yet) ofc Monogatari series and Steins;Gate are also pretty unique and there wont be anything like them. |
| I had that feeling after I watched The Tatami Galaxy, sometimes certain shows just strike a chord with you and it settles in that you probably won't be able to find a show that makes you feel that same way again :( |
| For me... it's Gintama. I don't think a single anime can ever exceed the quality & story-telling prowess that Gintama possesses; a finely woven comedy & tragedy that makes you cry, hurt, laugh, cringe & leave you speechless (for lots of reasons). What other anime can consistently do that, while also presenting us with incredible arcs that make any non-Gintama arc fall flat? Furthermore, the parodies; willingness to risk copyright lawsuits for the sake of delivering prime entertainment. No anime has bigger balls than Gintama, and I mean that literally given that "Gintama" means "Silver Balls". It covers all bases in terms of genres, too. Any other anime I watch I can always somehow compare it to a portion of Gintama, no matter how different they may be as a whole. But Gintama is a completely different anime, I don't think anything could change my opinion as to how amazing it is. TL;DR: Gintama's mix of parody, comedy & tragedy (and lots of other genres) is what sets it apart from any other anime. Apart from that, I'd say Steins Gate, Dororo, LotGH, Monogatari etc. are all unique in their own right. It depends, really, on what aspects you're trying to compare. |

anshu7 said: BestBoiEren said: dude really? I mean first season was really good, but the second season was OK at best.attack on titan without question, all the other anime are trash looking at your list and what you mentioned here I'd rather not say anything... |
| That kind of feeling just means you thoroughly enjoyed yourself, which is probably the best compliment any show can get but the feeling is transient and will pass until you watch something else that will leave you with exactly that kind of feeling. It happens in any medium and it is the best kind of feeling. Ending up with our chins on the floor and declaring that this was the best thing ever. |
| LotGH since I haven't found anything more enjoyable than that one for quite a while. Monster, HxH(2011) and Gintama would be my alternatives. |

| This sort of topic naturally makes people list their favourites since, obviously, you're going to feel your 10/10's fall into this category. And then there are the standout lengthy series that leave a lasting impression, like LotGH and Monster. Whilst everyone feels their earlier anime - when unaware of cliches/troupes that are used over and over and over - I think there are those that stand out in tone and/or approach regardless so uniquely that you can't help but feel you won't see something similar again. And, of course, in my case that would be my favourite anime: Gankutsuou. An adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo, by a Japanese animation studio, with a fashion designer having created CG-on-2D clothing patterns. Distinctive visually and 200-year old Western novels tend not to get adapted, outside of the World Masterpiece Theater. Certainly not with a retro-futuristic aesthetic and in 24eps when the novel is 1000+pages! |

Arkab said: I gotta say the replies of this thread are well.... boring af. Very little originality. There's literally no difference between these replies and MAL's Top favorited shows lmao. Then surely it is a joyous thing that you, Arab, are here to share your own insights into anime of the like we will never see again in our short lifetimes. Us mere mortals are but mere sheep, left to helplessly follow the whims of fate. 'Tis reassuring to see someone arrive with a differing perspective that will clear the fog from our blind eyes. |
| Evangelion TV Not because it was "too good" but because it felt too different (not the ingrédients, the treatment). And I'm pretty sure it won't happen again (the new movies are another thing). Even the Fourth Impact of jap.animation won't probably be like it (although I admit that the Second and Third, Gundam and Eva, had several common points). |

| Pretty much every 12 month cycle I've had since I started watching anime shows has had that one show that just stood out as the best one from that year in terms of how well it connected with me. First was Cowboy Bebop, next was The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, finally most recently on my third year of watching anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. Really though nothing has quite beat the experience of watching Bebop for the first time. |
| Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Your Name, and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya all blew me away by just how good they were. I don’t think I’ll be able to see anything as quality as these anime if I’m being honest. Monster was also very good. |

Especially in HD. Right now you're in anime dreamland, able to cherry pick the best of the best from years gone by. I can tell you, there are no equivalents to the greatest episodic series of all-time, the greatest mental breakdown series of all-time and the first/one of very few non-shite club room anime. TLTR: Enjoy it whilst it lasts. Bebop and Eva are two of very few anime that could go in a thread like this, from a period when anime was very different before the cheaper and less passionate digital era began. |

I think what appealed the most to me was the fact it took its time to develop the audience's understanding of the protagonists whereas most shows would dump all that information in an uninteresting way in the first episode just to get it out of the way for the story. I really didn't want Bebop to end just because I was having so much fun getting to know each character little by little over the course of the series while watching a variety of entertaining stories set to some of the best production values the medium has to offer. When I finished it the first time it felt like there was a hole in my soul knowing I'd never be able to experience that again. Though to be honest it really has gotten better each time I revisit the whole show or a favorite episode. As to the rest of your comment this last year I really made an effort to try genre that I had avoided in the past to see if I could get into them more and the result has been the most rewarding year of anime yet but I do get the feeling I might be reaching a peak of sorts on how many truly great series I can find before I run out even if the past has always shown me that there's always another one whenever I start to feel that way. |

Anime more often than not tells instead of showing, as my friend would say. To save money animating, or just to forcefeed information with cheese in a way that appeals to... otaku. Bebop's writing and direction understands something very important: less is more. Spike and Jet never discussed anything in-depth besides... cats, and even then you felt their friendship and understood them as people. Fundamentally, anime as a whole misunderstands this. Light novel adaptations and Bebop-esque passion projects giving way to cheaper digital options have really ruined the medium. Random: if you haven't already, watch Firefly. It's Bebop in live-action form: every episode fun, and great space cowboy characterisation. I can tell by your list/title selection you're going to reach a point where it becomes like searching for a needle-in-haystack, eventually. There is always at least one new anime per year of interest, though, even then. |

I had already seen Firefly prior to Bebop and thought maybe Firefly was in some way inspired by Bebop until I saw Outlaw Star then I knew that it was most likely inspired by that. Firefly is one of the very few nonsitcom live action series I love all the way through, even if that might be because it was never given a chance last long enough to drop in quality to begin with. |
