| Top 10 All-Time Anime Titles▲▼ | Rating▲▼ | Comment▲▼ |
| Azumanga Daioh (TV) | Masterpiece | (This has so many fun/cute/nostalgic aspects that I will always want to go back and re-watch the series. And I will always be sad when I get to the end of the series. There are some really touching moments. And guess what? There's no romances at all in this series! And it's still awesome!) |
| Baccano! (TV) | Masterpiece | |
| Black Lagoon (TV) | Excellent (sub), Masterpiece (dub) | |
| Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage (TV) | Excellent (sub), Masterpiece (dub) | |
| Gungrave (TV) | Masterpiece | (A deep, deep series. It focuses around the ideas of family, loyalty, and trust. ) |
| Master Keaton (TV) | Masterpiece | (I cannot recommend this series enough. And this goes for the OVA series as well. It's pretty episodic, but it presents a lot of different issues -- some light, some dark -- while succeeding in keeping a light tone. It's the bright tone that makes this series so much more enjoyable to watch than Monster (although I do love that series as well).) |
| Mushi-Shi (TV) | Masterpiece (dub & sub) | |
| Popotan (TV) | Masterpiece | (There's a lot of gratuitous nudity, but that's not why it's on my list. It's on my list because it deals with some pretty tough issues. I personally love the art style.) |
| Princess Tutu (TV) | Masterpiece | |
| Voices of a Distant Star (OAV) | Masterpiece | (Makoto Shinkai's first work and I would say his greatest one (so far). Short and sweet, and yet conveying perfectly the idea of love being torn apart, or something like that.) |
| Yakitate!! Japan (TV) | Masterpiece | (This is super enjoyable. Like Master Keaton, I can't recommend this series enough. Not because of its deep issues (I don't think it has many, or any), but because of its sheer fun-ness. It's a cooking show that focuses around bread. You know what that means... lots of addictive competitions, and mouth-watering bread creations. Honestly, I had more appreciation for bread after watching this series.) |
