telling people not to watch 2003 full metal alchemist wtf op ;=; </3
I don't know, it felt wrong on the same list as Bokurano and Shiki. Both are remarkably more savage than Madoka, Urobutcher be damned.
Didn't make the time cut
Right. It was a love polyeder or a love conga line?
I am so sorry, but the only good thing 2003 offers that Brotherhood don't is Brothers. The latter part, where it diverged from the mange and the especially the movies went off the rails in a bad way. It's not a really bad show if you forget the movie, but it goes up in flames next to Brotherhood.
Still have to watch Yamato and K-On! bored. Me Don't get me wrong, K-On GAF is amazing.
But K-On itself? Sorry
Uguu.
I can understand the aversion against the hard key faces. Maybe I should've put more sceneries in there :,D

Black Lagoon is one star suffering?
Did they not get to Hansel and Gretel in the anime?

Good point, I up it to three. Japan arc was also not a very feel good event.
The amount of Sawashiro we should all strife for.
I think it looks gorgeous.
Very weird ranking system or whatever. Out of there though I really like HxH and Baccano, some of the best anime I have seen, just a shame HxH WILL NEVER GET OUT OF HIATUS
Black Lagoon is also good, but I feel the ova's slight differences with the manga just changed Rock's character too much.
The description for Redline should have just been "7 year, Hand Drawn"

Thank you OP, magnificent job. I'll watch some of the one I don't know.

Clearly you just forgot Durarara since there's no other reason for its absence.

This is a great thread OP. I need to catch a few of these series I've never heard about (but sound rather interesting).
as someone who has watched very little recent stuff, most of what you listed seems super generic, at least visually, and i went through it at a relatively slow pace to see if something catches my attention
people like masaaki yuasa (you listed the tatami galaxy) are the exception, sadly

Nice OP.
Got some of them on my Crunchyroll Queue.
Already on my Queue but not yet watched.
- JOJO
- Hunter x Hunter
- Inferno Cop
And the reason i haven´t is Gintama. I really wasn´t sure about it at first. It was fun in the beginning but for me personally the show started pretty slow. But after episode 25 i think the show really found its groove. It quickly became one of my favorites of all time. Just the sheer amount of creativity on that show is crazy. And i´m having a ball watching it, truly one of the most hilarious things i´ve seen. And the animation is actually pretty good for a long running show too.
I love that sometimes, they go minutes with a serious theme, being sincere and emotional, just to set up a joke, that never fails.
For anyone curious, i´m just gonna drop this scene and this scene without context.

listen to the mad man
OP can you add categories for "are there robots in this" and "do characters do that floating anime sweat drop thing"? As is this is the most useful anime review system I've ever seen (not joking) and I'm just looking to enhance it further.

Hey a mention of Higurashi no Naku
never gets enough mention on Gaf
never gets enough mention on Gaf
I second this.
I personally would like to know the mecha coefficient of each anime as well as how repellent each anime also is (referring to the floating sweat drop)
Not a bad list, but where...
*F3 Kill La Kill*
Yeah that a american cartoon isn't it? Unless that was thrown in cause it has anime influences, in which case, what about Avatar: The Last Airbender?!?!?!?!:x

It's tough wanting an anime that doesn't have fanservice, isn't moe, isn't slice of life, isn't a comedy, and has good writing.
And that's why
is the best.
Also continue HxH, Togashi pls
And that's why

All I can really add to this thread is that I recently watched Gargantia and I enjoyed it. No idea how it actually holds up in anime standards though. I'll just say I really enjoyed the slow burning beginning that unfortunately seems to turns into a "Oh shit, we can only afford one season!" as the show seems to quickly gloss over somethings to the end sequence of episodes.
Overall I'd say it's decent to good.

Ouch, not at all. Do you also think the blood in Hellsing Ultimate looks fine? That CGI blood is just terrible.

Also no mention of Penguindrum from the looks of it, so yeah, PENGUINDRUM!
This anime got really trippy at times.XD
This, too! I can't recommend Penguindrum enough. It's really hilarious but also extremely painful. Sometimes both within the same scene. Beautiful.
Well...Excellent work! I think you've mentioned almost* all of favourite animes. I certainly approve of this list. The fact you included Gatchaman Crowds makes me so happy.
As someone that has started watching animes only the last few years, I have really watched some amazing stuff in only a few months. The last few months alone I've seen Madoka Magica, the Monogatari series, Code Geass and Gintama. They're all incredible, for their own reasons its one. Stuff like Monogatari and Madoka were especially mind blowing. They're really unique and they can be a lot more complex and deep than what someone may think.
*No Kokoro Connect, even though you mention it because of Sawashiro.

Kill la Kill is as best organic garbage that, while may not be thrown in a dumpster, should at least be left in a ditch.
Nice seeing 5 centimeters per second listed, damn it's beautiful. Not only the art, but the music as well. I remember re-watching this small teaser/trailer a shitload of times when it came out a long time ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxKn5AwOTis
I wish I could enjoy anime more and watch more series, but it's hard with all the moe creepiness and annoying character tropes.

ctrl + F Love Live! smh op, smh.
You know, I was going to go...'but anime is declining lately' and then I remembered all the anime that I've watched that has been listed in this thread. Full Metal Alchemist, Steins;Gate, Fate/Zero, Clannad among many others. There have been some great anime if you look at the span of 10 years in releases.
I'm going to bookmark this thread for when I want to watch something.

That anime sure had some... interesting parents.XD
Great characters it has. The whole Ringo stalking Keiju thing was such a joy to go through especially, giving glorious scenes like this.
Heh hardly. While the story did go off the rails later on, it still had some pretty nice charm and style to it and a great cast of characters.
