In this forum, lists the top 5 or 10 animes (or mangas if the anime has not been adapted yet) that you enjoyed and or you are currently enjoying. If you want to elaborate the discussion further by explaining how and why the anime is your favorite (or favorites) then go right ahead. For example, I like Cowboy Bebop because Spike is an amazing character with a tragic past and an interesting perspective on overcoming life’s obstacles. Looking forward to furthering each discussion.
For starters, my top 10 all time anime list consists mostly of the shonen variety:
Let me show you my top 10 list of anime that I enjoyed. This is list answer the “How and why did this anime become your favorite anime?” question
1.Attack on Titan because I love me Titan-shifting powers, the ODM gears, the idea and concept of Giant Human-looking man-eating monster brinking mankind(more like Eldian Kind) to the brink of extinction, and idea of the oppressed becoming oppressors.
2.Dr. Stone because I love it’s concept and idea of an unknown phenomenon turning humanity into stone which resulted in the end of civilization and it’s up to Senku and friends to return civilization by making it and one of the characters of Shishio Tsukasa because the type of villains I like are Villains who commit wrongs to commit a right.
3.Kingdom because it’s presence and storytelling as well as I have a thing with History.
4.Gundam because It reminds me of Star Wars because the beam sabers, I love me some giant robots, and the idea of neither side is good nor evil and every side has good guys and bad guys.
5.Demon Slayer because I like story, characters such as the Fire Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku and the Sound Hashira Tengen Asui, and fight scenes.
6.My Hero Academia because I like storytelling, characters, fight scenes, the character development, the quirks, and the Shie Hassaikai Arc.
7.One Punch Man because of the fights and the set up.
8.Hunter X Hunter because I like storytelling, it’s power-system Nen, the Phantom Troupe, the Chimera Ants, the Chimera Anti Arc, the Nen-Abilities, and the Nen Categories although my favorite nen category is enhancer.
9.Magi because I like it’s power system Magoi, the fantasy world it’s set on, and how the cultures for each country within the world of Magi are inspired by many others cultures such ancient egyptian culture, ancient greek, ancient roman culture, arabian culture, you name it.
10.Arslan Senki because the cultures of the countries within the world of Arslan Senki although I like culture the Pars’ Culture the most as well as it’s presence and vibe.
As for What is my favorite type of anime? and Which is my favorite genre of anime:
My favorite type and genre of anime are mecha anime, shonen anime, fighting anime, historical anime, action-packed anime, and adventure anime.
As for Do I enjoy the shonen genre more or the seinen genre more:
I enjoy the shonen genre more because it’s one of the genres that I mostly watch and got my interest and attention that attracted to. Although I do like me the Seinen Genre but I tend pay less attention and interest to it.
As for Do I prefer one anime over another anime?:
Well I prefer Durarara over Baccano because Baccano is too dysphoric for my taste because what I’m getting from the Episodes within Baccano is that they don’t know what they want to focus just like Tim Pool’s Cast Castle Vlogs despite that they didn’t make it to my top 5 favorites. But I used them to this question just to get my thoughts and opinion on Baccano out there.
For starters… what’s the difference between type and genre??
My anime top 5
It’s too hard to organize my favs in a top 10, but one thing most of my favs share is how relateble the characters are, i also like when an anime (or manga) delves into the psychology of the characters, a few more favs (in no particular order)
Here’s my Top 10 (so far):
1. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – one of the most influential manga series of all time, and easily my favorite. Great fights, amazing characters, good worldbuilding, and glorious meme material, all of which I look for in a series.
2. My Hero Academia – the first actual anime I watched (not counting Pokémon), so it has a soft spot in my heart. I’m all caught up on the manga so far, and I can’t wait for others to see where the story leads.
3. Attack on Titan – Easily the best series in terms of worldbuilding, especially season 3 onwards. Levi’s my favorite in this one.
4. Death Note – L. That is all. Also potato chip scene. And screw Netflix for butchering this series.
5. Fullmetal Alchemist – Probably number 2 for worldbuilding. Only watched Brotherhood, as it was more in-line with the author’s work, but one day I’ll get around to watching the 2003 anime.
6. Cowboy Bebop – Another one of Netflix’s live action victims, but the original is still great. Also has one of, if not the best, dubs in anime history.
7. Kill la Kill – Directed by the same guy who made Gurren Lagann, and it’s about clothing. And lack of clothing. What’s not to love?
8. Kaguya-sama: Love is War – Quite possibly the most entertaining romantic comedy in recent years. Mostly because its western competition is crap. Hayasaka best girl.
9. Gurren Lagann – Probably my favorite mecha series so far. Simon and Kamina are great characters. Liked it a lot more than Evangelion.
10. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – I’m conflicted about this series. It’s not bad, but it was definitely overhyped by the fanbase. The animation is incredible, and ufotable really made this series what it is. The plot, however, has some issues, especially in the arcs after the Red Light District one. Still fun to watch/read.
