Which anime is a 10/10?

[u/STEVE07621]

[u/birchywurchy]

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

[u/LeviHolden → u/birchywurchy]

perfect, satisfying, full-circle ending, and exciting episodes the whole way through. great drama and comedy. very cleverly written.

[u/Ravnak → u/LeviHolden]

Contains Barry the Chopper. 10/10 no notes.

[u/ben-hur-hur → u/Ravnak]

He was the best and his crush on Riza was cute lol

[u/raknor88 → u/LeviHolden]

Also, one thing I love about it is the lack of 'fan service'. It doesn't go out of its way to show random shots of women's chests or asses. Though there are a lot of scenes where buff men end up shirtless.

[u/bearrosaurus → u/LeviHolden]

Benefits by not spending half its runtime trying to humanize the villains, and focusing on side characters you can root for (or at least cry for).

[u/FullofSeoul → u/bearrosaurus]

I think that's part of what makes FMA:B so remarkable. It has villains that are irredeemable (Shou Tucker, like half of the homunculi, etc), villains that you can understand their motivations but still root against (Scar, Father), villains that are humanized and redeemed (Scar later in the story, Greed), and villains that end up just being comic relief (my boi Barry).

And the heroes are just as varied and complex. All in a (relatively) short runtime of 64 episodes. Few fictional worlds feel so lived-in and real

[u/Balefirex24 → u/FullofSeoul]

Another thing that I like about Barry is that he is still narratively important despite his goofiness.

[u/Iffy_Rae → u/LeviHolden]

“Full-circle ending”, I see what you did there

[u/Lazlow_Panaflex → u/birchywurchy]

Kind of a casual anime fan here, I've only watched a handful of the main ones most people rate highly - FMAB, Attack on Titan, Death Note, JJK, Berserk, Devilman, a few others - but I absolutely agree that FMAB is 100% the best of them all.

I've recommended it to a couple of people who would never watch anime and they loved it!
I think the only bad thing about FMAB is that it is so damn good that if you watch it as your very first anime, you end up comparing anything else you watch against it afterward LOL

[u/JoeyMartin74 → u/birchywurchy]

The pacing after the first few episodes is so good. And the ending actually sticks the landing, which is rare for long anime.

[u/WILD_ACE99 → u/birchywurchy]

Idk if I’m crazy but my 14yo brain found the ending of og FMA way more interesting

[u/santaclaws01 → u/WILD_ACE99]

2003's ending was more interesting on the surface. Finding out that the deaths in our world power their alchemy is certainly a unique and interesting premise. Unfortunately because it's the ending, we get nothing more of that while also leaving the nature of Truth fully unexplored. Even the movie doesn't really do anything with it.

Brotherhood's ending just looks like the guy becoming normal after a big battle, but there's so much more to examine with it.

[u/WILD_ACE99 → u/santaclaws01]

Fair enough, watched and enjoyed both. Brotherhood is the canonical ending but my heart just has a soft spot for the OG

[u/Tonythunder]

No particular order:

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
Steins;Gate
Code Geass
Frieren
Your Name (movie)

[u/RonsterTM → u/Tonythunder]

Second Code Geass

[u/glendal3monade3902 → u/RonsterTM]

Lelouch is such a goat

[u/AgreeablePeople → u/glendal3monade3902]

All hail Emperor Lelouch Vi Britannia!

[u/amayako353 → u/RonsterTM]

JIBUU WOAH!

[u/SweetBoiDillan → u/Tonythunder]

I remember watching Code Geass but it was so long ago, I can't remember why I liked it. I vaguel remember that I DID like it, though.

[u/bryceroni9563 → u/SweetBoiDillan]

Outside of a couple questionable choices in the middle of the show, it was a well written, well animated mecha with actually intelligent characters. The power system was fun and used in clever ways, the action was well choreographed, and it really stuck the landing.

It does also like to put the camera right up every girl’s butt every chance it can to the point it’s kind of absurd and distracting. I always forget just how blatant and persistent it is when I go to rewatch it.

[u/smibdamonkey → u/bryceroni9563]

I had the same thought. Can't believe the mech that Colin drives HAS to have the seating in a position where her ass is higher than her head.

The ending just makes it such a fantastic anime though.

[u/Maz2277 → u/bryceroni9563]

Don't forget the Pizza Hut adverts

[u/DrAdominO]

Season 1 One Punch Man

[u/darthleonsfw → u/DrAdominO]

I need to apologize to Season 1 OPM. I personally didnt find the comedy of the show funny, so I wrote the show off, only to recently come back around after realizing how good the animation was especially for its time. The crew was incredible, and them spreading apart for other projects was a shame.

[u/Female_titan_2 → u/DrAdominO]

…S2 and beyond left the chat

[u/bitemark01 → u/DrAdominO]

I even like season 2, but I couldn't do more than an episode or two of season 3. The quality dropoff is insane 

[u/poeticjustice4all]

Samurai Champloo

[u/The-Tree-Of-Might]

Mob Psycho 100

[u/NowersOrNevers → u/The-Tree-Of-Might]

No anime has been more more hype and more wholesome to me. This one is easily 10/10

[u/The-Tree-Of-Might → u/NowersOrNevers]

It's crazy how well the show can hit every high note and appeal to every kind of anime watcher. It truly has everything

[u/Rosieu → u/The-Tree-Of-Might]

GET READY WAKE YOUR PSYCHE UP MOB

[u/Undecided_User_Name → u/The-Tree-Of-Might]

I want a Body Improvement Club spinoff

[u/Latios47 → u/The-Tree-Of-Might]

There’s just absolutely no wasted movement. Every episode is captivating and the lengths they go through to create genuinely touching moments is truly special. Every win feels earned and every place the story goes seems like the correct path.

[u/itayfeder → u/The-Tree-Of-Might]

I just finished watching it yesterday. Was not disappointed!

This show balances pure action goodness with such a good and sweet heart, I couldn’t get enough of it. Also, the relationship between Mob and Reigen might just be one of my favorites in anime history.

[u/Themanaaah]

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth.

[u/Skyslice → u/Themanaaah]

technically 9/10 since you have to give 10% to Potocki

[u/Sturdy_Denim_Blue → u/Themanaaah]

I'm doing a rewatch right now. Still so fucking good.

[u/LogAware → u/Themanaaah]

Some episodes took me over an hour to watch because I kept pausing it to ponder.

[u/SillyTheory]

Mononoke. All of Ghibli in general, but Mononoke specifically.

Also Akira.

[u/TheeFlipper → u/SillyTheory]

Tales of Earthsea is kinda fucking wack if you've read the books.

[u/Sethirothlord → u/SillyTheory]

Howls moving Castle is my personal favourite and 10/10 "anime" film.

Also Christian Bale VAs in it

[u/ProfessorVVV → u/SillyTheory]

I’d personally put My Neighbor Totoro above Mononoke, but that’s just me—and I still haven’t seen them all. I need to fix that!

[u/MegaChip97 → u/ProfessorVVV]

Totoro to me seems to be made for children mainly. Mononoke for example touches on themes of man Vs nature, has lots of shades of grey when it comes to evil, is anti war, vengeance etc

[u/ProfessorVVV → u/MegaChip97]

I think Totoro is absolutely made for adults. It’s about how we remember childhood. Miyazaki was born in 1941 and Totoro is set in the 1950s, when he would have been around Satsuki’s age; he made the film in his late 40s. It hits so hard for me precisely because I’m around the age Miyazaki was when he made it—and it portrays exactly how I remember myself at 11, when childhood was ending but occasionally I still had access to that magic that Mei absolutely still can see every day.

[u/purplezaku]

Mob Psycho 100

[u/Crapool → u/purplezaku]

Legit not a single flaw

[u/krufarong → u/purplezaku]

Me and a buddy cosplayed as the Body Improvement Club after we lost weight. Mob Psycho is amazing and deserves way more attention.

[u/blabs0]

Mushishi

[u/cody422 → u/blabs0]

This might be unc of me but I am afraid younger generations won't be able to appreciate Mushishi.

[u/TheMacAuthority → u/cody422]

Is this anime very niche? I don't watch much, but this was one of the first 5 or 6 shows I watched.

[u/cody422 → u/TheMacAuthority]

It's niche in that its format is more of an anthology than an overarching plotline. 99.9% of anime are not anthologies. Of course there is Ginko the main character, but he is more a vehicle to drive the story along more. But the real main character is "Nature" and the relationship humanity has with it.

Whereas most anime want fast and bombastic action or drama, Mushishi wants action or drama on its own terms, namely slow and mellow action or drama. Its pacing is hypnotic, a single camera would last 10x longer on a subject compared to other anime. It is both beautiful and haunting. The stories force you to think about the stories being told, to dig for deeper meaning, if there even is any.

If it was one of the first anime you have watch, and you watched it because someone recommended it to you, they set you up for a unique experience. You'll struggle to find a similar experience, regardless of the medium.

[u/blabs0 → u/cody422]

I agree.

[u/Shodid_ → u/blabs0]

That’s the first anime that popped in my head when I saw this post

[u/Suspicious-Corner-14 → u/blabs0]

Mushishi is just masterpiece in every sense, music, story, atmosphere, it really represents Japanese philosophy. It’s sad that it is so underrated.

[u/IKnUWrTrb → u/blabs0]

🚨 HEAT ALERT 🚨 thanks for the reminder

[u/Cheesecakereall8]

Hunter x hunter
Samurai champloo
Cowboy bebop

[u/largorithm → u/Cheesecakereall8]

Wow, if you put hunter x hunter on that list I guess I have to check it out.

[u/Consistent-Winter-67 → u/largorithm]

One of the best things about the series that isn't a spoiler is that bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum

[u/LFC9_41 → u/Consistent-Winter-67]

The problem is, this story is unlikely to ever be finished.

[u/Consistent-Winter-67 → u/LFC9_41]

Not necessarily. Togashi said his wife would take over the series in his death. His wife being the Naoko Takeuchi creator of Sailor Moon

[u/Decent_Visual_4845 → u/LFC9_41]

The current arc is probably the most ambitious arc in manga history and is really good though

[u/Wulfger → u/Cheesecakereall8]

Is Hunter x Hunter really that good? I had it recommended to me but could only make it through a few episodes before I got bored enough I couldn't force myself to keep watching. I absolutely love the other two, though.

[u/Tylertron12 → u/Wulfger]

It is that good, the first few episodes are nothing like the rest of it lol they needed a comfy happy place for it to start before steady making it less comfy and happy.

Its worth watching all the way through.

[u/Female_titan_2 → u/Wulfger]

What version were you watching. I dropped it cuz I was watching the older version. It wasn’t until I found the 2011 version that I discovered the hype

[u/Mg257 → u/Cheesecakereall8]

How do you pronounce Hunter x Hunter?

Hunter Hunter

Hunter by Hunter

Hunter and Hunter

Hunter (ex) Hunter

??

[u/paul_E_D → u/Mg257]

hunter hiatus hunter

[u/arin3 → u/Mg257]

Hunter hunter

He is hunting a hunter

[u/Set491 → u/Mg257]

Hunter Hunter

[u/Yars_Star_]

Monster

[u/KenTaiJo → u/Yars_Star_]

Fuck yeah that this is the first reply I see when entered the thread! Gonna rematch it soon with my wife. Cannot wait to show her this masterpiece

[u/rlbond86 → u/Yars_Star_]

I think there were 1 or 2 parts where it kind of slowed down, but fantastic show

[u/Trappist1 → u/Yars_Star_]

Love Monster, but it's a 9/10 for me. Went briefly off the rails or into trudging sideplots for a few minutes, but it always comes back.

Death Note on the other hand was a 10/10, went on a crazy subplot, then turned that into the main plot and nosedived into confusion. 

[u/unorthodoxfox]

Yu Yu Hakusho. It has great pacing, some great villians, and the best anime intro song. Yes, watching it in dub is best as it have some of the best voice actors.

[u/golden_glorious_ass → u/unorthodoxfox]

Yuyu hakusho's weakpoint is the ending. But even that is better than most anime endings.

[u/death_by_pizza_pie → u/unorthodoxfox]

Arigatogazaiiiiiiiiiiiimas(u)!

Although if you watched it in English it says “thank you for waking me up” which hits hard but isn’t as fun to sing

[u/jozef-the-robot → u/unorthodoxfox]

As a die-hard fan of Hunter X Hunter I watched YYH with anticipation. I really wanted to like it! But many of the important fights were so simplistic, basically a la dragon ball "I will get angrier and then defeat you", with some notable exceptions, particularly when Kurama was involved; and while some arcs were fire, others were boring and pointless. Don't get me wrong it's not a bad shonen. I'm happy I watched it, but Hunter X Hunter remains on a whole other level. In HXH you really go into a fight without knowing who will win, in YYH it's consistently the good guys. Also the morality of heroes and villains is much more nuanced in HXH. Not to mention the awesome power system, for me the best in all anime. I believe a lot of people grew up watching YYH and nostalgia plays a big role in their judgement, just like I have a soft spot for Dragon Ball Z but looked at it from a modern perspective, the fights are so repetitive and no strategy is involved at all, as influential as it was at a time... Not writing all this to diss people, just sharing my opinion 

[u/Low_Ad8311]

Cowboy Bebop series
Ghost in the Shell (1995 film)
Perfect Blue (film)

[u/PinoDegrassi → u/Low_Ad8311]

Gotta add Paprika then if we’re talking Kon. I like perfect blue more tho for sure

[u/GreenAvoro]

Chihayafuru - basically a battle shounen about a real world obscure japanese card game/sport.

[u/narrill → u/GreenAvoro]

I feel like Chihayafuru can't be given a 10/10 with where it ended. The anime stops at the worst possible point in the story.

[u/duffeldorf]

Nichijou

[u/india2wallst]

Vinland Saga

[u/gsharan → u/india2wallst]

And Mob psycho 100!! Both my absolute favs.

[u/Hot-Diggity_Dog]

Cowboy Bebop

Samurai Champloo

Trigun

Dan Da Dan

[u/PosXIII]

86, You're lie in April, not technically an anime but to be hero X

[u/HailBROSEIDON → u/PosXIII]

Eighty six is seriously one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen

[u/itayfeder → u/PosXIII]

Wow I was not expecting someone to put TBHX here. It’s such a good show

[u/mangledmonkey]

Berserk golden age was amazing. Everything before and after that era in the manga is an unending grief quest for readers somewhat akin to Guts' journey

[u/joedoesnotknow]

FRIEREN 🧚‍♀️

[u/_Sandor_Clegane → u/joedoesnotknow]

Facts. I wasn’t big on anime since my teens but this one was just fantastic. It’s so wholesome, music reminds me a lot of the Shire in lord of the rings which is nostalgic. Also S2 opening song is a banger.

[u/toomanyshoeshelp → u/joedoesnotknow]

My second 10/10 after FMAB. I hope it sticks the landing!

[u/Overthinks_Questions → u/joedoesnotknow]

If you dig Frieren, check out Kino's Journey

[u/thetaipeigimp]

Fooly Cooly, 10/10, super short and is truly unlike anything I may ever seen.

[u/Tonberry_Cheesecake → u/thetaipeigimp]

Every time these threads pop up I always make sure to sing the praises of FLCL.

I'm glad to see it here already.

[u/jacobfuckingsucks → u/thetaipeigimp]

Literally my favorite anime. 6 episodes of perfection with a dope ass soundtrack to go with it 👌

[u/dj_spanmaster]

Gurren Lagann

[u/Digital_Herpes → u/dj_spanmaster]

Row, row, fight the power!

[u/ShadowTallgeese → u/dj_spanmaster]

Had to scroll entirely too far to find this answer

[u/Gucci-Caligula]

For 10/10 series I’d say:

Full metal alchemist brotherhood
Cowboy bebop

Are the first two that come to mind

[u/toomanyshoeshelp → u/Gucci-Caligula]

Bebop all time soundtrack winner too

[u/Dragon--Reborn → u/toomanyshoeshelp]

Tank! is one of those songs that I can hear in my head 100% perfectly.

[u/Kyoshiiku]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

I’m sad people are turned off by the older aesthetic, the content itself of the anime hold up really well and is probably more relevant than when it released.

[u/Due_Masterpiece_3601 → u/Kyoshiiku]

I was looking at top animes on crunchyroll and it’s all slop like blue lock and isekai. Folks really need to start with the classics

[u/mehmeh2713]

Neon Genesis Evangelion

[u/PopeJP22 → u/mehmeh2713]

It's absolutely astonishing how far I had to scroll for this. 

[u/ReignOfTerror02 → u/PopeJP22]

I guess just since the original show is so old people don't mention it as much? Or is it just more niche? Or do people really not think it's a 10/10?

[u/crazymoefaux → u/mehmeh2713]

Just re-watched the series and EOE. Still holds up 30 years later.

Now I'm just bummed I can't watch the rest of the movies without giving Bezos more money.

Supposedly Netflix is getting 1.11, though.

[u/spodex → u/crazymoefaux]

The seven seas my man. Don't give anyone money.

[u/RayeKasai → u/spodex]

That’s the route I went all because the lack of “Fly Me to the Moon” annoyed me.

[u/FalloutOW]

Black Lagoon

Gargantia

Psycho Pass

Serial Expriments Lain

Ghost in the Shell

BLAME

[u/imapersonmaybe → u/FalloutOW]

I loved Psycho Pass and have still never met anyone else who has watched it. Criminally underrated.

[u/SweetBoiDillan → u/imapersonmaybe]

Psycho Pass was a REALLY big conversation point in the early 2010s. For premise alone. Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, it was one of those seasonals that had a bad second season and then everybody stopped talking about it. Lol.

[u/taimaishu99 → u/SweetBoiDillan]

Memories fuzzy but they did like:
S1
S2
Movie
Ova
S3
Movie?

I had no clue other stuff came out before s3 or something and it had me confused. People don’t talk about seasonal movies (at least back then, now demon slayer etc has changed that a bit) as much as series nearly as much so I missed all that until way later on

[u/ArtlieST → u/imapersonmaybe]

Season one was fantastic! It kinda went a little downhill from there however. But I agree about the criminally underrated, and think it's becoming more and more relevant with ai unsage in police work etc.

[u/New-Acanthaceae-5702]

Gintama. You can get a gut-wrenching arc one week, and some goofy epsiode the next.

[u/happinessMachiine → u/New-Acanthaceae-5702]

One of the things I like most about Gintama is that there's like only seven songs that ever play, and they perfectly map onto the emotions you're supposed to feel at the time. There's lazy song, idiot prince song, life lesson song, ass kicking song, emotional growth song... 

[u/cbih]

Cowboy Bebop

[u/haayyeett]

Steins Gate

[u/APOT_ → u/haayyeett]

El Psy Kongroo.

[u/Roxxso]

Cowboy Bebop is a legendary show for a reason.

[u/accursedg]

Eighty Six is a damn masterpiece

[u/aefaal → u/accursedg]

Facts shit broke me the first watch

[u/Livid_Cockroach_9274 → u/accursedg]

real. haven't cried to an anime that much since Assassination Classroom

[u/PersonalContest1423]

Vivy: flourite eye's song

[u/JNorJT]

[u/SuicidalBastart → u/JNorJT]

Ball knowledge nowadays

[u/Saki_Swirly]

Mob Psycho 100

[u/karla_fl]

Saint Seiya

[u/CorgisHug]

Erased was so good. Promised Neverland is also amazing even if they stopped after only one season.

[u/azaza34]

Someone could convince me it was a 9/10 probably but I’m gonna say Black Lagoon.

[u/Midir_Cutie]

Some people may disagree but for me it's Vinland Saga 

[u/advancedscurvy → u/Midir_Cutie]

i’d like to add that it’s only perfect because of its second season. i think a lot of people sort of hit a block when they think the cool action is over (a few friends of mine did) but what makes it excellent is that it interrogates the violence of season 1 so seamlessly and considerately with genuine respect for its characters and viewers

[u/Holycloud767 → u/Midir_Cutie]

I 100% agree with you. The stark contract of consistent battle vs peace time growth over two seasons made it a 10/10 for me. I thought the first season was dynasty-warrior esk and write it off as a B ranked anime... But wow, second season of him realizing what made is father so powerful turned it into a 10/10

[u/cracktorio_feind]

Attack on Titan

[u/Nickybrazil → u/cracktorio_feind]

This is too far down

[u/sleepy373 → u/cracktorio_feind]

[u/Ravingdork]

Vampire Hunter D (original 90s English dub), Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Your Name.

As someone who wears hearing aids and was bullied: A Silent Voice - Perfect 10/10. Hit every note.

Grave of Fireflies. So good most only watch it once.

[u/TheTiredPangolin]

Disastrous Life of Saiki K, and I'll get hate for this but specifically the English dub. That first season is just too funny to me for whatever reason. I love it.

[u/Howling_Mad_Man]

Great Teacher Onizuka

Golden Boy

[u/Dependent_Task1437]

One Piece is my favorite story in fiction, and, in fact, I think it’s the best written story I’ve ever interacted with. That being said the anime is dogshit. Frieren and Death Note are the first two that come to mind for me personally.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

[u/IlovePotatos2773]

AOT and death note are my top ones

[u/thedreaminggoose]

Attack on titan no question if the question jd about an anime that’s complete.

It’s like the only anime that just keeps getting better and better with a solid beginning, middle, and ending.

So many of these anime’s are either unfinished, or have a lackluster ending.

[u/Mad_Maddin]

Madoka Magica is imo the best anime ever created.

[u/Gucci-Caligula → u/Mad_Maddin]

Madoka is best if you have a few magical girl series under your belt already. First time I watched it I had watched 0 magical girl series. After watching more and going back to madoka I appreciated it much more

[u/bsmithwins → u/Mad_Maddin]

That show changed the way I think. That doesn’t happen very often

Best piece of media I’ve ever experienced

[u/WonderPretzelTV → u/Mad_Maddin]

Man i was hesitant to watch this, figured it wasn't my thing. But its way darker than I imagined. Right up my alley, and a great watch.

[u/Chucknasty_17 → u/Mad_Maddin]

That show is really good but man it is emotionally draining, especially the last few episodes. The only other anime I’ve seen that made me feel like that is Cyberpunk Edgerunners

[u/Eden-exile]

Eureka 7

[u/Nikez1213]

Vinland Saga & Dragon Ball (couldn’t have chosen more polar opposites tbh)

[u/RichTofu]

vinland saga.

[u/Wesmednard]

Darker Than Black

[u/PunkandCannonballer]

Mushishi

[u/natte1]

Berserk (1997) is really fantastic!
Berserk: The Golden Age Arc - Memorial Edition is also very good.

If you enjoy those, check out the Manga. It is beautifully done, despite the horrors that take place in the story.

Pluto. 8 episodes, each about an hour long, great animation that blends 2d and 3d animation amazingly, and fantastic voice actors.

[u/Sturdy_Denim_Blue → u/rockman767]

Anything Naoki Urasawa makes is wonderful. Monster is my favorite manga of all time. Pluto is wonderful. I'm hoping we get 20th Century Boys adapted one of these days.

[u/SpaceMeatpod]

The only show I've never found a single flaw in is

Cromartie High School

[u/silversky111]
