Have some difficulty with these lists because lots of anime and their manga counterparts tend to mix together in my head. Of course, that wouldn't be a problem if anime was always true to its source material, but it's not. For example, I look fondly back on Rosario Vampire because the manga was enjoyable, but then remember its anime adaptation was trash...

Never seen Berserk, but Clannad and GL are weak-sauce.1. DBZ.
2. Bleach(barring filler).
3. Seven deadly sins.
Never seen Seven deadly scenes.
So we're both 2-out-of-3.
I guess it depends more on what you like.
If you like action, or if you like Good Stories with action.

DBZ's anime in particular has aged extremely poorly. Bleach is just hamstrung by being an adaptation of the hot garbage that the Bleach manga is.
The DB manga is still pretty good though.

Also, you didn't like the first few arcs of Bleach? I thought they were universally agreed on to be pretty good.
Haven't seen enough Neon Genesis, but Cowboy Bebop? Madoka Magica? Those are terrible animes to you? Wow Carv.
I think the DBZ anime still holds up alright in terms of aging, but when I rewatched a bit of other shonen like Yu Yu Hakusho, oh boy... Now that had aged badly.
Saw Gurren Lagann, but thought it was overhyped/overrated.
With how many different genres of anime I've come to like over the years, it's pretty difficult for me to have a decisive top 3 list now. =(
Surprised there's no mention of FMA, was under the impression that one was pretty universally held in high regard. Probably wouldn't make my top 3 either, admittedly, but neither would most of the others mentioned in this thread. 😛

👆 Precisely. It'd be much easier if it was "Top 3 ____ Anime."

Terrible animes. Action is mediocre at best.
Though with that said, the Mami vs. Homura fight in the Madoka movie is visually considerably more impressive than any DBZ fight. 👆
Or any Dragonball Super fight for that matter. Which is horrible. One would think the new Dragonball anime would have at least passable animation.

Originally posted by Ridley_PrimeCarver is just butthurt because I shit on DBZ and Super especially. Super is literally garbage, this can't even be argued. It's a ****ing visual medium, the animation should at least be passable, and it's ****ing dog shit. And it's DRAGON BALL ****ING Z'S SEQUEL. This isn't some story some guy barely managed to get the funding for. It's pure ****ing laziness and greed. **** Dragon Ball Super. 👇

The manga's art is pretty good, but I honestly don't read manga very much these days.
DBZ hasn't held up very well for me as an anime due largely to some of the boring filler, the overly long powerup and transformation sequences, and, ironically enough, the fight scenes.
A lot of fight scenes repeat the same few frames periodically throughout the fights. It's just not particularly visually stimulating, not when I've been ruined by incredibly well-animated fights like in ufotable's Fate animes.
I might have been a little too hard on it, but I'm not as fond of the anime as I was when I was a kid. The manga has aged very well though. Akira Toriyama is a very underrated artist. 👆
Gurren Lagann is overrated in the sense that it's not the best anime ever (also I ****ing hate the ending), but it's not even close to bad. The pacing early on is a little slow though.
