Depends on what you mean by "best"...and haven't you made like 10 threads asking the same question?Originally posted by King Nothing

What's so funny?!

Hands down, the best anime ever for me is Bleach. Then comes the likes Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, Fruits Basket, One Piece...etc

NO Saint Seiya??? This thread is made of fail. >_<

Wow, what a bunch of crap on that poll.

I'll say Cowboy Bebop.

Personally, I'd say Kino's Journey, because it is the only one that has had any long term affect on me.
Ultimately, too much awesomeness to choose from. I can't even come up with a top five. When the day comes when all anime are remakes of other anime and this question is asked again(and it will be, multiple times, over and over again) I'll have the answer.

Dude you left out to many anime shows. My top 5!!!

DBZ(does not include GT)
Yu Yu Hakusho
G-Gundam
Bleach
Naruto

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Hey, where's Bleach?

my top 5 are:
DBZ series (excluding GT)
Naruto
Bleach
FMA
Hellsing (gotta love the action in it)

* Death Note, Detective Conan...

I have yet to be up to date, buy Bastard!! is the best manga I have read.

There are so many ways to define 'greatest'

I think you mean the one you like the most right?

I assume so.

MY TOP 5 WOULD BE
1.Yu Yu Hakusho-awesome well put together.
2.DBZ- Got me into watching anime also a good show.
3.S-cry-ed- because of its originality and awesomeness.
4.Digimon- childhood favorite fell off in he later seasons though(3 &4)
5.Pokemon- because the original pokemon took the world by storm.

How can you make a 'Greatest anime' poll without Death Note??
Srsly . Hands-down in the Top 5 greatest anime series ever made.


My personal favorites would be:

BLOOD+ ~ one of the best endings I have ever seen in anime history
Clannad ~ no other anime series to date has made me cry like a little girl as much as this series did...
AIR TV ~ ...besides this
Ranma 1/2 ~ pure nostalgia
Pokemon ~ got hooked when I was kid, never veered away since then
DBZ ~ one of the anime essentials, especially if you're a guy
Neon Genesis Evangelion ~ up there with Death Note

Revolutionary Girl Utena. Without a shadow of a doubt. Its probably the best work of Anime, Media and ultimately Art I have ever witnessed in my life. Nothing compares to the sheer emotion of the final episode. Nothing has such characters and metaphors. Not even Kannazuki no Miko (probably my second choice) made me cry. RGU did.

Its a work of pure genius. Madness too, I'll admit, but genius nontheless.
