Get this $h!t out of this thread!

@briebriee Hellfire Missile Pack have updated my top 5, I don't see any changes coming to it anytime in the near future either, these 5 animes give me everything I need. Rip DBZ.

-Added jayda and Outbreak. Modified Black and White

I was thinking about doing the same for anime openings and endings (we can rank these two separately) if people want to rank their top 5 (or top 10). I thought about putting it in the actual anime openings and endings thread, but those videos really make the thread lag and load too slow.

I think I'd add HxH to my top 5.

Here's my top 5 openings and endings

And no, I didn't know these by heart, I looked up the names

Openings:
1. "The Day" (Boku No Hero Academia Opening 1)
2. "Owarinai Yume" (Inuyasha Opening 3)
3. "Kohaku" (Grenadier Opening 1)
4. "Sorairo Days" (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Opening 1)
5. "THE HERO !! ~Okoreru Kobushi ni Hi wo Tsukero~ " (One Punch Man Opening 1)

Ending:
1. "Hunting for your Dream" (Hunter x Hunter (2011) Ending 2)
2. "My Will" (Inuyasha Ending 1)
3. "It's the Right Time" (Parasyte -The Maxim- Ending 1)
4. "Hoshi yori Saki ni Mitsukete Ageru" (One Punch Man Ending 1)
5. "Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai" (Attack on Titan Ending 1)

MAL says there's multiple variations of Evangelion's ending song. I only detected slight differences. I'm not sure if you care enough to know which version is the best

Now that I examined this further (and hard)

I re-ranked all of TV series I watched (I'd say 56). I had to do a whole revision anyways as I had to separate some of the TV series that I shouldn't have combined as they were different (Dragon Ball (vs Z vs GT), Digimon, Transformers etc) because of time lapse or a completely different story

With that said, my top 5 changed slightly (5th spot only). I'm gonna post my top 20, since I believe right after that, it's not really a strong list due to underexposure of other anime series not explored

Top 5.
1. Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
2. Steins;Gate
3. Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch
4. One Punch Man
5. Hunter x Hunter (2011)

6. Samurai Champloo
7. Cowboy Bebop
8. Boku no Hero Academia
9. Black Lagoon
10. Parasyte
11. Monster
12. Assassination Classroom
13. Konosuba
14. Seven Deadly Sins
15. Berserk
16. Dan Machi
17. Attack on Titan
18. Neon Genesis Evangelion
19. Space Dandy
20. Dragon Ball

I've redone my top 30 and added a couple shows that I've finished recently. I will most likely add Re:Zero to my list depending on how the last few eps of the first season play out. But as of now, if they don't f*ck it up it'll be very high on my list. Somewhere in the 9-15 range possibly. 


1. Samurai Champloo
2. FMA:Brotherhood
3. Steins;gate
4. Clannad/Clannad: After Story
5. Akatsuki no Yona

6. Eureka Seven
7. Katanagatari
8. Cowboy Bebop
9. Durarara!!!
10. One Punch Man
11. Mushishi
12. Hunter x Hunter
13. Parasyte
14. NGE
15. Toradora
16. FLCL
17. Baccano
18. Seven Deadly Sins
19. Your Lie in April

24. Noragami
25. YuYu Hakkusho
26. Spice and Wolf
27. Attack on Titan
28. Ussagi Drop
29. Boku no Hero Academia
30. Psycho Pass

Damn... Yona is that high?


I Got everything in your top 18 either watched or plan to watch

Even the romance powerhouses of Clannad and Toradora? That's 70 episodes of pure romance. Can you even handle such a thing?


And Akatsuki no Yona is almost like if someone picked my brain and made an anime that's just for me, and did it to near perfection. I don't think everyone will love it as much as I did, the style is more 90s/early 2000s shonen and it has a lot of elements that remind of Samurai Champloo, Seven Deadly Sins, YuYu Hakkusho, and Inuyasha. I could easily compare it to those shows. 

I only got Clannad after story. I guess if I was to watch it, I should start with the prequel Clannad. It's in the top 10 by MAL on ranking, so I'm curious to see why it's good. Based on tagging, which I keep relying on even though I know it's not accurate, I was aware of the romance focus. Other than that, I forgot why I decided to pick Clannad vs something like Your Lie in April or Anohana

Also, I was reading around, and a lot of people liked Toradora, even those that weren't into romance genre. I don't care about the romance part myself. I care about the comedy part, so as long as there is a good focus on that, then I should be fine. I'm watching Orange anyways and it's entirely romance. That's a nice show, but I'd prefer watching another show other than that (too late now since I started)

Yeah I guess it's true. In Hollywood, Romance and Romcoms are completely different genres. Plenty of people love romcoms but would never watch a romance. Toradora definitely falls under that romcom category, where you don't have to be into romance to enjoy it. 

The romance aspect of Your lie in April doesn't hold a candle to Clannad or Toradora imo. It's a really good anime, but more so for the musical and drama aspects. In my eyes Your lie in April is a musical anime first and foremost, similar to Kids on the Slope (which I forgot to add to my rankings, dammit.).
