- CreatorKentaro MiuraStarsMarc DiraisonNobutoshi CannaCarrie KeranenGuts, a wandering mercenary, joins the Band of the Hawk after being defeated in a duel by Griffith, the group's leader and founder. Together, they dominate every battle, but something menacing lurks in the shadows.Probably the best animated adaptation of Berserk that you're going to get, and for me that's enough to make it one my favorites. But seriously go read the manga.
- StarsYûto UemuraShin'ya TakahashiMike HaimotoFollowing a tragedy, Thorfinn embarks on a journey with the man responsible for it to take his life in a duel as a true and honorable warrior to pay homage.I was kind of hoping the show would have a bit more realistic action and battles considering that it holds on to a lot of historical events throughout it's timeline. The show barely holds back at portraying the violence and brutality of warfare, which I think very much works in it's favor. Season 1 for the most part was disappointing me, until a certain character woke tf up and started to spark some more interesting plot points and character development. The main character I found rather annoying, and I still wish they'd portray him a bit differently in season 1 so that he would be a bit more believable. In fact, I find that in Season 2 the flashbacks to Thorfinn filtered out a lot of the annoying, kind of on the nose-cringe (typical anime) moments we had with him. Anyways, apart from all of that, this show is freaking fantastic. Season 2 absolutely is a 10/10 you should go watch it.
- StarsJessie James GrelleBryce PapenbrookTrina NishimuraAfter his hometown is destroyed, young Eren Jaeger vows to cleanse the earth of the giant humanoid Titans that have brought humanity to the brink of extinction.Season 3 just took this show on a whole other level.
I have finished Season 4. I have to say I am extremely disappointed with the ending in general, especially with regards to the manga. I hope the ending movie can do something better than the manga ending, but we'll have yet to see. This series is still one of my favorites for the way it has developed it's characters and themes , primarily mainly with Season 3. To my surprise, it's resonated with me more than other anime I liked a lot more when I was younger. It's so obviously flawed and yet here it is in my list. - CreatorHideaki AnnoStarsMegumi OgataMegumi HayashibaraKotono MitsuishiA teenage boy finds himself recruited as a member of an elite team of pilots by his father.Yes. I'm letting the influence of this show bias my rating btw. It's good, but to a lot of people it is outdated. Obviously the ending was a mess, though the actual Ending of Eva movie kind of made up for it.
- CreatorKugane MaruyamaStarsSatoshi HinoChris GuerreroYumi HaraWhen a popular MMORPG is scheduled to be shut down permanently, veteran player Momonga refuses to log out. As NPCs begin to develop personalities and minds of their own he decides to put his skills to use as the game's new overlord.The pacing could be a bit faster, but overall it's an Isekai journey I am more than pleased with. This show is just very funny to me and extremely enjoyable. It puts a twist on the Isekai genre that is much needed, honestly. Maybe it's more enjoyable to me because I've played MMOs as well, but this is an anime I've had so much fun with, and I honestly didn't think it would. There are moments where the MC's absolute power is called into question that could've resolved to something more meaningful rather than left up to mystery, but other than that this show slaps.
Also has probably one of my favorite English dubs. - StarsMamoru MiyanoAsami ImaiKana HanazawaAfter discovering time travel, a university student and his colleagues must use their knowledge of it to stop an evil organization and their diabolical plans.The ending is questionable, but overall this was a really fun show with an interesting concept.
- StarsVic MignognaAaron DismukeRomi ParkWhen a failed alchemical ritual leaves brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric with severely damaged bodies, they begin searching for the one thing that can save them: the fabled philosopher's stone.The original FMA anime has the best introduction to the series and world of FMA. It's what really captivated me and drew me to liking Ed and Alphonse the most. Major Hughes' tragic scene was done better here as well. There's a lot of pros this has that Brotherhood doesn't while there are a lot of flaws towards the latter parts of the show that Brotherhood will easily fix.
- CreatorHiromu ArakawaStarsKent WilliamsIemasa KayumiMatthew LeonhartTwo brothers search for a Philosopher's Stone after an attempt to revive their deceased mother goes awry and leaves them in damaged physical forms.A more thorough animated adaptation of the FMA manga. It's ranked number one on myanimelist.com probably because it's more complete in it's story.
- CreatorRafal JakiStarsZach AguilarKagga JaysonKenichiro OhashiA Street Kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an Edgerunner, a Mercenary outlaw also known as a Cyberpunk.Surprisingly good for the genre.
- CreatorKazuki NakashimaStarsTetsuya KakiharaShizuka ItouYuri LowenthalTwo friends, Simon and Kamina, become the symbols of rebellion against the powerful Spiral King, who forced mankind into subterranean villages.You can not name a more wholesome anime show then TTGL. The unique world building, character and story writing, and the general wholesome theme in this show, everything just fits nicely. Show this to your kid so they'll never watch annoying Shounen titles again.
- StarsMayo SuzukazeJunko IwaoNozomu SasakiIn the era of Japan's Meiji Restoration, an assassin regains his humanity.
- CreatorShin'ichirô WatanabeStarsKôichi YamaderaUnshô IshizukaMegumi HayashibaraThe futuristic misadventures and tragedies of an easygoing bounty hunter and his partners.Everything about this show is great. Spike's character arc, the timeless animation and artwork, and amazing soundtrack. Some minor annoyances with some of the old quirks of shows like this at the time, but other than that this is a classic.
- StarsYûto NakanoTravis WillinghamKôjun ItôGinko is an expert travelling around to investigate a primeval life-form, the "Mushi," and helping people with Mushi-related supernatural problems.A very spiritual anime filled with great short stories throughout the adventures of Ginko who investigates supernatural occurrences. Really a beautiful show and worth a watch.
- StarsMamoru MiyanoBrad SwaileVincent TongAn intelligent high school student goes on a secret crusade to eliminate criminals from the world after discovering a notebook capable of killing anyone whose name is written into it.The 2nd half of this show was fine, a bit disappointing though. This show's artwork, godly soundtrack and amazing character and story writing are what land it a top spot on this list. A lot of people are salty after a certain character dies. Personally, I don't mind the 2nd half enough to forget how amazing the show is with L.
- StarsKazunari TanakaSatsuki YukinoAi OrikasaAi Tanabe joins the Debris Section of the Technora Corporation as they work to remove the debris left around Earth. As Ai tries to accommodate to space life, she learns more about her crew on the dilapidated 'Toy Box'.I'm glad I watched this show it was undoubtedly a very mesmerizing show for me when I was a younger. I'm going to trust in my younger self and not think about the haters who said to "just go watch Space Brothers". This show was good good as far as I can remember.
- CreatorGorô TaniguchiIchirô ÔkouchiStarsJun FukuyamaTakahiro SakuraiJohnny Yong BoschAfter being given a mysterious power to control others, an outcast prince becomes the masked leader of the rebellion against an all-powerful empire.A mixed bag of good and mid writing. Still overall very strong show with very expressive and emotive characterizations that took full advantage of this medium.
- CreatorShirow MasamuneStarsShirô SaitôAtsuko TanakaOsamu SakaThe futuristic adventures of a female cyborg counter intelligence agent and her support team.Amazing worldbuilding, art and OST. Stand Alone Complex gives you a look into a far distant future where technology, especially cybernetics and AI.

However, unknown to Albert, his father had once framed the count and took the Count's fiancée as his own.The ending was kind of meh, but overall the story was good. The Counte and his characterization is what was particularly great about this show. This show easily has one of the best animations of all time and a very cool OST as well. Visually this is a masterpiece.

- StarsMonica RialKana HanazawaGreg AyresAfter being falsely convicted for the murder of his entire class, a young man must learn to survive in a mysterious prison with a perverted take on incarceration while also looking to clear his name.Oh how disappointing the ending was to this show.
