I'm seeing a lot on those lists that wouldn't count for that definition of moe. Hell, one about Jesus and Buddha being roommates has 4 stars.
It's all about if you want to protect someone or not or something!
This guy is considered moe:
...Wait a minute, where the FUCK is Kaiji in that list?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Kaiji is one of the best. It can be mind numbingly depressing in its harsh realism, but it somehow doesn't ever leave you feeling empty inside. Quite the opposite, most of the time.
I added "Manga Effects" to the OP. A bit unsure with some anime, so please criticize away.

And yes, Space Brothers is another well received anime I didn't watch yet. I am always a bit intimated by big episode numbers.

Well, they are similar characters.
Not to mention that Madoka references Bokurano, which can lead to the assumption that Kyubey was inspired by Dung Bettle anyways.
Space Dandy is there
And yes, Space Brothers is another well received anime I didn't watch yet. I am always a bit intimated by big episode numbers.
Thank you and nice idea! My only problem is now, that I basically exhausted the entire character limit of the OP posts. Should've put one more there, just in case. This makes it also impossible to add the many anime I forgot to add >_>
I watched the first season, didn't like it. It was too shounen tropey and people told me that it would just get worse in that regard. I am very happy with Haikyuu!!, Chihayafuru and Saki in the sports category.
Yes, Nise is really bad. Coming Second Season isn't just better, it's amazing. If you manage to get through Nise, you're in for a lot of good.
Yes, I am sorry, I have planned to watch this.
Huh, never heard of that. I was under the impression that I at least heard all of the important anime from the last ten years, but this thread teaches me otherwise. So much new to discover.
I started to watch it with friends and one person dropped it out because she didn't like the noses, wasn't on my mind to watch it till then :^)
I read the Akagi manga for maximum progress.
Didn't watch yet
That is one well put together topic, OP. Great job.
Whatever this is, I feel I should watch it.

The gif only reinforces the idea that it is the most masculine tv show that has ever aired. I do love it.

Though to be fair Usagi Drop is really its only competition.

It's a WAY under the radar film due to only having a film festival showing in 2008 and then not getting a wider home release until 2012. Which sucks because it's downright beautiful and has some of the craziest animation and direction you'll get in an action anime film.
I made a thread about it back in 2012. This is something that should NOT be as obscure as it is when it has the production values and appeal of less obscure stuff like Dead Leaves.
Gave me the same feeling as Gurren Lagann, which is incredibly hard to do.
Oh, I got through Nise when it was airing alright. Coming from Bake how could I not watch more monogatari. But when the next season came out, I just didn't feel like bothering any more. Well, I've been meaning to start watching it again...some time next year.
Also, out of all that list in the OP, Humanity has declined was one of the biggest sleeper hits for me. I didn't know what to expect from the visuals and the description but it turned out really, really great. A sort of really weird and surreal commentary on life.

as a guy who's mostly given up on anime for about a decade (some movies here and there), this is a pretty useful thread.

Some series are on par with the classics
Mitsuo Iso's Dennou Coil remains my favorite reguarding animation quality for the post-2006 TV series. One of the most originall and refreshing TV series every anime fan should watch
Though it was rather neglected as a kids series. Even if it had more in common with Lain, in a less soul perturbing presentation.
Very good movie overall and also very faithfull to the manga, though I wished it deviated a little. Still one of Madhouse's best movies and at 2 hours of crazy animation.
some other series I liked when compared to the OP's series:
Kaiba
House of Five Leaves
Mitchiko to Hatchin
Yuri Kuma Arashi
Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora
Panty and Stocking

Looks great, I am going to watch this with friends. Thanks for the recommendation!
I hope you find something that you can like
Yes, two more shows I have yet to see. My anime backlog is starting to look worse than my Steam one.
Ah! I forgot Mitchiko to Hatchin! How could I, unusual location and main characters.
I think I work out the anime I forgot and ask John Kowalski if he can edit that with some the replies with good recommendations in his post.

Nope. Gurren Lagann and Kill La Kill are really off-putting. Fanservice for fanservice sake in an anime made almost 100% by dudes is annoying.
Kill la Kill I'll give you, but Gurren Lagann is probably the only series with a bit of fanservice that I'd still recommend to people with a low tolerance for it.
No joke, the series is partially responsible for me losing 80 lbs and not failing out of college. It's just so damn inspiring and makes you feel like you can take on the world if you're in the right mindset.
And this was at a time when I had a VERY low tolerance for fanservice.

damn, too bad im too lazy to put such a detailed category to stuff i watch.
also for shame that i dont see arakawa under the bridge

Oh man yeah, Kaiji is great, and is the most moe character in anime. Moe isn't just "cute girls doing cute things" but that's usually what is used for.
Kaiji is great, so many tears.
Neat, they showed gdgd fairies.

I have to admit that this has sadly been the decade that made me fall out of anime quite a bit, though I'd been lying if there hasn't been some absolutely incredible gems in that time. (Fate/Zero, Season 1 of Psycho Pass, and Madoka have all leaped to my top faves list.) I also appreciate the recs, OP - I will add Usagi Drop, Tokyo Magnitude, Kyousougiga, and Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis to my watch list. The Monogatari series remains the most gorgeous show that I'm incapable of getting my head around continuity wise! There needs to be a Monogatari for Dummies book.
A bit random: did a Seirei no Moribito dub ever come out? I'm having trouble finding anything.
I also have to offer up Tsuritama, Ping Pong, Mononoke, Tatami Galaxy, Michiko & Hatchin, and Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine as recs. They are all were incredible on the art direction front, and are wonderful series that are all a bit outside the box. Even though it was often frustratingly plotless, I'll always have a soft spot for K-On! for being a beautifully animated show focused on female friendship plus the gals being a bunch of dorks.
I'm so behind with One Punch Man. I keep seeing these gorgeously animated .gifs. It's something to catch up on over the holiday break!

It did come out. It's a Viz license and they dub just about everything.
Impressive thread in terms of work OP, Jesus.
Indeed, that was the only real gripe I had with the Hunter x Hunter entry. The suffering--like everything else in this show--only escalates lol.

Yes, Dennou Coil! Can't believe i forgot about it. Almost never see it being recommend either. It's so good!

I think fan service and moe needs to be upped a star or two for Tokyo Raven. Kon brings a lot of that.

I am guessing this is based on 2000s till current time or just within 2005 to 2015. Well, I would put Emma: A Victorian Romance on the list mostly because of how the show doesn't feel like a typical anime show but feel like a show that could be one of those BBC drama show of the Victorian time frame. A hidden gems which make me now slowly getting into creator other work in her Manga.
Man, I skipped through this, and this isn't anime.
There are about a million shows out there, and a whole bunch I want to watch. Combined with the hefty length of some shows I'd want to get into like One Piece, and it can get pretty overwhelming.
Still, I feel like there's no end to good shows I could get into. There are a bunch of "classics" I've never seen like Evangelion, Serial Experiments Lain or Ghost in the Shell that I'd want to watch at some point, and then there are more modern shows I'd like to see.
It's good stuff, but it also means I have very little tolerance for shows I don't quickly like now.

I'm so glad someone else on earth has seen that. Nobody ever talks about it!
Ok fine. Better?

Someone explain to me how does this happen, I don't know how Japan works. 1) how many channels to Japanese households get? 2) how many of them show animes? 3) how does anybody ever keep up with anime?
I could not name this many American TV shows over the same period, I certainly didn't seen even close to this many.

The people who watch anime in Japan are the same people who watch anime in America- nerds. Except for the occasional breakout hit like One Piece or Dragon Ball Z, anime isn't usually watched by a casual audience.
A lot of these shows are run for just one or two seasons (13-26 episodes), most don't have 5-10 seasons like a lot of popular American shows. Also, episodes are mostly 20 minutes long, so you can watch many shows in roughly 4-8 hours.
There are a ton of American shows, and I'm sure you could name more then what is on this list.
Yes!
Yes!
Also Yes!
And another recommendation for the Garden of Words. Prettiest anime I've watched.
Other than that, good job OP. I'll be using this list as a guide
.ok so. do animes run at primetime? or right after school and there just aren't any live action shows for young 'uns?
That's only how the characters look in some action scenes... Caska doesn't look like that for the majority of the movies. That's really more cherry picking when Caska looks like this for most of the movies:
It's a damn shame about the CG stuff in the movies because the 2D stuff in the movies is pretty good. Only issue here is that the colors are a bit too vibrant for something like Berserk which is better suited with dark shades of colors like with the 90s series.

There are relatively few primetime anime in any given season, with the only consistent ones being kid shows on weekend mornings and early afternoon.
Most stuff aimed at adults airs in the early AM range and is generally for otakus. The exception is the Noitamina block, which is supposed to have wider appeal for adults, but that's on a season by season basis.
Despite how it appears to the rest of the world, anime is not a mainstream medium. Manga on the other hand is.

Anime makes me sad because I've really enjoyed some shows and my brief fling with it for about a year's time will always be nostalgic and yet it seems so hard to get into because there's so much out there to like but so much out there I know I'll just be wasting my time on. It's a huge commitment to get into the way I see it.
Good, the anime is working as intended :>
Dropped it early on, wasn't my jam
Is she really that prominent? I may have repressed the memories of her. I was really into the Douman part of the story.
I made the cut at Fall Season 2015, Emma didn't make the cut
and for shame I gotta say, I haven't seen it.
Anime are a medium, not a genre. There are all kinds of targets groups and genres. Kids shows run in the morning, some shows on the day and most at night. Primetime not so much, since anime, that aren't kids shows, are for a particular kind of nerds. Even if some anime can occasionally attract huge flocks of other nerds (like Girls und Panzer did with the military nerds).
Much better. And I think the bright colours are okay, it clashes superbly with the tone when everything went to shit.
Hell of an OP, OP. Thanks for taking the time to out this together. I'll definitely be referring back to this. I can't say I agree with your advice to skip the original Hellsing anime though
The TV series is definitely fine. Also, as opposed to the Japanese one, the German opening is pretty good.
