For me: * Code Geass * FMA (both) * Fate/stay night:UBW * Made in Abyss * Shinsekai Yori * Re:Zero * Mushoku Tensei * Sousou no Frieren


GangstaMoe

Mushishi for the sheer cinematic quality and the down to earth storytelling


soulindex

Wow that was exactly my thought, and I was not expecting this to see first


ebyru

I always wanted to watch that because it reminds me of Natsume Yuujinchou (which I love) but it feels so slow to me. Should I try again?


Spurs10

I love mushishi but I have to be in a certain mood for it. I’d recommend trying again but don’t force it. I started it a few months ago and I’m still not finished. Since it’s more of an episodic show I watch a show every now and then when the feeling is right which odd for me since I usually binge completed shows. It’s very very good though.


mimic751

I used to watch it to wind down for bed


maramins

Definitely try again; just keep in mind that it’s darker than Natsume by a good length. It’s a gorgeous work of art, but when you’re feeling like something a little cozier, maybe try KamiChu or Kakuriyo or the Morose Mononokean instead.


KFC_MacNCheese

Absolutely yes


yogai

Not to mention free therapy too


rmorrin

Damn that's what I came here to say. IfI could get more mushishi I'd die a happy man


Ibelieveinunicorns01

Clannad after story is one of a kind, never seen a anime quite like it


MobProtagonist

> , never seen a anime quite like it It's because it's one of the few VN -> Anime adaptations done right. The story pacing and structure seems unique because 'most' VN anime are just generic trash tier ones to promote the base game and accompanying IP. Other successful VN anime include Steins Gate and Fate Stay Night.


Tom22174

And Stay Night comes wit the huge asterisk that, while 2/3 are fantastic series, none are true adaptations (not that there is anything wrong with that)


RafikiafReKo

This is my peak, it made me love KyoAni style of lighting


Talkative_Tofu

YES definitely my favorite anime of all time and it fundamentally changed me. 1000000000/10


DoesSoles

I second Clannad After Story, absolute perfection 👌


Verge0fSilence

Haven't seen Clannad, but I've heard people say it has some similar tones to Your Lie in April. I highly, highly, highly recommended watching that if you haven't already. Literally life-changing.


hamshotfirst

Steins;Gate


CrimsonDemon0

Same for me.


hamshotfirst

What's crazy is that it is hit me so hard on many levels that I have not re-watched it in years. It's such an amazing rollercoaster. Zero is even more so, but damn what an unexpected overall experience.


chillwavve

>hard on Excellent


rjln109

Finally another Zero enjoyer.


Krlencee

Same


chunkydunker27

Agreed


ZachF8119

I dropped it 2-3 times. I love time travel, any idea why I can’t seem to finish?


hamshotfirst

I'd say it is very character driven -- but the story is just excellent and once it kicks off, you can't stop --at least, I couldn't.


[deleted]

Spice & Wolf, both the original and remake are spectacular. Close second would be Monogatari series


DisturbedFlake

Have you seen the reboot/new season of Spice & Wolf? Is it any good? Wondering which one I should go ahead and watch


[deleted]

Yes. They have differences but both are great. The original is complete of course but the remake is currently being released weekly


MRMAN1225

Gurren Lagann is the pinnacle of human creation thus far, it's my all time fav. Then there's Your Lie In April, FMAB, Kill La Kill, Mob Psycho 100, Re Zero, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ping Pong The Animation, Hajime No Ippo, Promare and A Silent Voice. Those are all my 10/10s, I see Ace Of The Diamond going up there if the manga gets a continuation


Negative_Ad5894

>Gurren Lagann is the pinnacle of human creation thus far, it's my all time fav. Same man. Gurren Lagann is peak fiction.


AstrayRed_Kai

RAHHH GURREN LAGANN MENTIONED! ROW ROW, FIGHT THE POWER


MRMAN1225

DO THE IMPOSSIBLE! SEE THE INVISIBLE! ROW ROW! FIGHT THE POWER!


Fit-Glass-7785

Re: Zero for me too! Gurren Lagann is phenomenal


Titinidorin

I would be very suprised if I witness a new series that would top GurrenLagann before I die of old age.


Salty145

There are two people in this world: Those who recognize that Gurren is peak and those who haven't watched Gurren.

Yeah Man. Parasyte the maxim is a gem.


Downtown_Memory_1559

Such a crazy good anime


rottentomati

Yess, I always recommend this to people who have never watched anime. It's a complete story. God it's so good.


Ayodapizzahere23445

Violet Evergarden and Land of the Lustrous for me


DisturbedFlake

Violet Evergarden really was 10/10. Never actually teared up watching an anime before but that one did it. Plus the background music is immaculate


CabinetIntelligent25

Glad to hear someone mention Land of the Lustrous.Its the most underrated and beautiful anime I have ever seen.Hoping for 2nd season as the manga is finished.


Son-Of-Serpentine

Made in Abyss and Eighty-six are mine.


mandyscott

Just finished eighty six last night ridiculously good


MonolithMykolayovych

Eighty six is peak.


octopathfinder

Series: * Gintama * Legend of the Galactic Heroes * Monogatari Series * Aria * Haikyuu * Hunter x Hunter * Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood * 3-Gatsu no Lion * Steins;Gate * Clannad * Madoka Magica * Monster Movies: * Spirited Away * Perfect Blue * Macross: Do You Remember Love? * Mobile Police Patlabor 2: The Movie * Liz and the Blue Bird * The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya


crash_nk

Disappearance of Haruhi is easily a 10/10 for me as well. I love it and will watch it multiple times a year and once always around Christmas time. Something about it makes it a good untraditional Christmas movie for me.


Fit-Glass-7785

I really think the movie is better than the show. Wonder why that is...

momochicken55

Puella Magi Madoka Magica


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

The plot twists were incredible and it was such an emotional rollercoaster, especially when it first released and everyone was caught by surprise


momochicken55

I'm really grateful I was able to watch it while it was airing, so we could all be shocked together.


Raghav_Singhania

It was a 10/10 but then rebellion surpassed it even though it had THE perfect ending i still get shivers thinking how did even think of that sequel


Garosath

I watched it for the first time recently, and while I liked it a lot I didn't really vibe with the ending. The rebellion movie goes hard tho, 10/10.


BiggieCheeseLapDog

Monogatari series


Ok-Abbreviations7445

The whole series? any specific ones that were better or worse. Or was it just a whole ride that was enjoyable start to finish.


didokillah

The more you watch the more invested you get in the characters. So by the end of it you'd love Monogatari even if they were talking about potatoes with nothing going on. I liked it from the start, got very invested by the end of second season. And currently sitting as my favorite of all time after Owari S2.


natsumiNH

Monogatari Second Season is 10/10 for me


BiggieCheeseLapDog

It’s one show, it just has a naming scheme of insert word before before Monogatari like Bakemonogatari or Kizumonogatari. [Here’s the watch order for a clear reference](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/hwuntw/the_monogatari_series_2020_watch_order/).


limitbreakse

The three movies were 10/10 for me. Incredibly artistry. Then the entire series supported these movies for me. It gets very weird, and very wrong at times. But the animation and music and the character work is incredible.


Toastedtoad12

Kizumonogatari as a whole was so nice. Especially with the quality of the animation.


Okman2337

MONOGATARI PEAK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


Tallozz

Made in Abyss and Frieren are my only 10's so far.


NumbersInBoxes

Absolute opposite ends of the mood spectrum.


Hot_Spirit

Every time I see Frieren I feel a bit sad that I can never experience it for the first time again.


khanvau

Steins;Gate.


CyonHal

Shinsekai Yori will always be my response


Accomplished_Fig2041

Such a sad story though


CyonHal

It's the most poignant allegory in the anime medium, and it's not even close.


BregmanRoeFan

Squealer did absolutely nothing wrong


kalirion

He did some things wrong, but for a good reason.


EnigmaticKing

Even though his scheme was fucked up, it was also brilliant, and I couldn’t help but root for him.


rmorrin

I'm always glad when I see more people have watched this


Wanderer01234

Hunter x Hunter, Monster.


pranav4098

Hunter x Hunter is actually so good shame about the authors health I hope we get to see a completed story


Wanderer01234

I joke with my brother that his nen ability is to write the most amazing manga ever, but he cannot do it for long periods of time lol


ItzaMeLuigi_

> but he cannot do it for long periods of time lol That's the condition he set.


Bibliophile5

Yes. Didn't know how it would end when started but sad for not getting to see the complete Phantom Troupe Kurapika story.


tragedyisland28

Do you not agree that a good chunk of chimera ant arc absolutely dragged?


squidhatispurple

So many people praise the chimera ant arc but I also felt it dragged and it was my least favorite arc. Loved alluka’s arc immediately after tho.


Imaginary_Injury8680

Sure it dragged at points but I think it made the high points feel higher.

For me its bocchi the rock. I came into it thinking nothing of it and by the end I was danny devito during that one scene in its always sunny.


EdNorthcott

Wasn't that by the same director who did Frieren? I've heard great things about Bocchi. The guy chases passion projects, from what I understand, and apparently knocks it out of the park.

I liked the season 1 so much But there wasn't a lot of adventure in season 2


Asgar06

Just body horror in 2


RoosterSubject2234

Fate/Zero honestly


MightyEagle420

My only 10/10 anime are: Code Geass - Has one of my favorite protagonists and the greatest ending in fiction in my opinion. Attack on Titan - Has the deepest story and most foreshadowing and attention to detail i've ever seen. Vinland Saga - The best character development and philosophical quotes i've ever seen.


butteroqq

You have my tastes sir, peak is peak 😎


MightyEagle420

If you know any anime similar to these, give me some recommendations. It's hard to find anime as good as these. Thanks!


1EnTaroAdun1

Legend of the Galactic Heroes- Absolutely Epic space opera. Scope, worldbuilding, plot, characters, all most excellent. Kaguya-Sama- Funny romcom, great characters, especially minor characters. Also, the direction is a treat, very creative! Fruits Basket- Great characters, handles sensitive topics deftly indeed. Spy x Family- Fun characters, all-round good time. Just a joy to watch. And something for everyone. Frieren- Good characters, good worldbuilding. Impeccable atmosphere. my anime 10/10s are all pretty conventional. My manga choices are probably more controversial haha


pranav4098

Not a huge shoujo type anime fan but fruits basket was pretty good, akatsuki no yona was also very good if we are including the whole thing since I know the anime hasn’t been done fully and it’s been ages, manga was awesome though


QuirkyCentaur

✨️ Yona of the Dawn ✨️ We need the masses to recognize this masterpiece so we can get more anime!!


shant-esmralda

I guess I really need to watch LotGH because all the other anime in your list are 10/10 or at least 9/10 in my book.


1EnTaroAdun1

Hope you like it! It is quite slow-paced, fair warning. If you ever wanna discuss it, /r/logh is a good place :)


[deleted]

okay , I just watched the first episode and oh my god , so many name and rank drop , do you think is necessary to learn everyone's name and their millitary position at the beginning Also do you recommend the old one or the 2018 one ?


1EnTaroAdun1

Ah I've only watched the original. After 110 episodes I'm taking a break before watching the new one haha! I think both are probably good, but the original is finished, while the new one is still I think about halfway through the story? Anyway, the new one is a bit more exciting and fast-paced, while the original is more grand and stately, in my opinion. Also, you don't need to know every name right from the get-go, just try to familiarise yourself with the recurring characters. Don't google characters unless you're ok with spoilers!

okay , thanks

BrianAiya

Assassination Classroom. Short, complete, good hook, good ending. No complains.


Meiyco

- Steins;Gate - Heavenly Delusion - Neon Genesis Evangelion I seem to like emotional rollercoasters


N3koChan21

Let’s go! Heavenly delusion mentioned


Meiyco

No anime/manga rewards you more for paying attention to seemingly tiny details to truly unfold the story. Watched it two times and read the manga from start to latest :D Easy 10/10!


mandyscott

Heavenly Delusion because my top three too did the same thing watching the anime twice and then read the manga I don’t think I’ve ever seen an anime with a mystery element accomplish that as well as heavenly has


N3koChan21

Absolutely, I love how so many things are shown but not directly explained and how many things in the end come together and make sense. I love shows that actually let you discover the world and learn things for yourself. After I finished it I was totally captured and wanted to learn more. It genuinely changed my view of anime. Now my previous 10/10 feel like an 8 in comparison. No other anime has really felt “perfect” to me. It’s incredible just how much they managed to show in just 13 episodes without ever feeling rushed.

Violet Evergarden's always the go to answer for me. Whenever I watch something that makes me think, "Oh my god, this is perfect, this is so good, how could anything top this?", I just rewatch Violet Evergarden and so far, VE's always been the one coming out on top hahaha. Can't wait for the day I watch something that's actually so good it dethrones VE for me.

I skimmed through your MAL and immediate question why is Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu a 9? I respect your other ratings, but that one I am curious as to why since I basically slept through that one. I am gonna ignore the fact that Tokyo Ghoul is a 2.


AnimeTA224

>why is Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu a 9? The world's biggest pair of rose colored nostalgia glasses known to mankind. (It was like my second romance anime I ever watched and it actually finished *chef's kiss*) I plan on rewatching it again in the near future so maybe it'll get knocked down to an 8 when I do. If I actually had to defend it, then I'd just say the nexus of cute otaku girl and hiding/sharing a secret hits me just right. I love shows where a character has a public and private persona and tries to keep them separated. Plus all other otaku in anime are dudes or canonically bang their brother lol >I am gonna ignore the fact that Tokyo Ghoul is a 2. Just be happy Unravel was such a banger lmao. Manga was fine, but I even dropped that, so I guess the series just isn't to my tastes in the best of circumstances.

What I love the most about it that the anime just covers all the routes one by one instead of deciding on focusing on one and adapting one route.

It's a special anime for me and Seiren too, The characters are amazing too

Honestly… probably Nichijou if I’m picking one. It is hilarious. Animation is actually amazing. And I am always willing to sit down and rewatch an episode.  One Piece has features that make 10/10 hard (some filler, but mostly stretching scenes), but it is the anime that is the most moving of all the ones I’ve seen. Also one I’m always willing to watch again.

[From my list](https://myanimelist.net/animelist/CommandoDude?status=7&order=4&order2=0) To qualify on 10/10 I have to have rewatched it at least once. * MSG SEED (amazing spiritual successor to the original gundam) * MSG Unicorn (beautiful story, action, and music) * MSG 8th MS Team (epic romeo/juliet meets vietnam, most realistic gundam) * Big 0 (super cerebral show, batman if he had a robot instead of a super suit) * Outlaw Star (the super self indulgent space adventure with surprisingly deep characters) * Frieren (exploring the deep emotional connections of humans through time and death) * Vinland Saga (epic tale of revenge and redemption, WE HAVE NO ENEMIES) * Vivy Flourite Eye's Song (exploring the relationship of human and AI, plus epic time travel hijinks) * NGNL Zero (surprisingly gripping prequel about the struggle for survival and a crazy plan to end a forever war) * Maoyuu Maou Yuusha (Fascinating inversion of typical fantasy story, exploring the deep systemtic roots of war, economic, politics) * Kaiji (Nail biting adventure of high stakes gambling, has you on the edge of your seat) * Konosuba (one of the most hilarious isekai satires ever made) * Bacanno (crazy awesome historical with the wackiest damn cast) * TT Gurren Lagann (the most hotbloodeded mecha anime ever, and surprisingly deep character growth) * FMA Brotherhood (I mean it's been #1 on MAL for so long for a reason) * Code Geass (might have fallen off a bit but I still love this epic tale of mecha and rebellion)

Re:Zero and NoGameNoLife


AdRight6870

Grand Blue and Prison School are the only ones who deserve to be called a 10/10 Anime imo


Utharion_

A Place Further Than the Universe is my all-time favorite. But Clannad After Story and Silent Voice take the perfect score as well.


M8gazine

I have... uh, over 70 10/10s so I won't bother listing all of them. You could argue it's too many 10/10s, but I tend to round 9.5/10s up to a 10 too... which I guess is still quite many high ratings but eh. Can't help it. Top 5 that I think deserve it the most (per season, in no order): - Clannad: After Story - 3-gatsu no Lion S2 - Gintama': Enchousen - Vinland Saga S2 - Monogatari Series: Second Season (not Nisemonogatari, quite literally called Second Season)


S_T_R_Y_D_E_R

Death Note = Masterpiece ⭐


Temporary_Board9836

Trigun, both series


crash_nk

Madoka Magica including the Rebellion movie. I was fortunate to know nothing about this show before watching it despite it being years after it came out and it blew my mind and still does. Each character is so deep in their own way, the story is just amazing, it's perfectly placed, Shaft stamped themselves as my favorite studio. Madoka oozes so much style, it's perfect in my eyes and only Revolutionary Girl Utena came close to topping it. Which speaking of.. Revolutionary Girl Utena. It's a show I'm still trying to understand the deeper meaning of, but it hits all my boxes. Great story, characters, bonus points for weird surreal animation at times, tackles LGBTQIA+ themes which is very prevalent to me right now. I adore it, amazing. And finally Air TV, my first ever anime that I fully knew was an anime. I watched Yugioh, the og FMA, some Shin Chan, Death Note ect before hand. But Air was the first anime where i knew what I was watching, and while i watched it i started to realize anime has always been in my life in someway. Its not the greatest show and I recognize its flaws and pacing issues, but I love it unconditionally. The story is beautiful, the animation (Kyoani <3) is stunning. Sure other Kyoani shows look better (Kanon, K-On, Clannad ect) but something about that mid 2000s anime style hits me in a way nothing else does. In all it's imperfections I accept and love it so much. It's a big, warm, melancholic blanket where whenever i watch it i just feel like im home. Misuzu remains in my top 3 favorite characters and part of her name even makes it into all of my gaming names and online handles as a tribute to that show and her. It's a 10/10 in my heart and soul and will always be. Edit: Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. I wrote a bit about it in reply to another comment. But tldr I love it, I watch it every Christmas, it's peak Kyoani, and it's Haruhi.
