I know it's a personal list, but there's so many things done poorly in Mirai Nikki. I liked the show too in some aspects. Personally, Ga Rei: Zero isn't that good of a show objectively either. I just find it hard to justify ranking Mirai Nikki so high after stepping back and critiquing it

I rank mostly based on personal enjoyment (as the strongest weighing scale)

I rank mostly based on personal enjoyment (as the strongest weighing scale) I never made a ranking. Only recommended list. If I were to make one, personal enjoyment would only be a portion of the ranking. Things like atmosphere, characters, and story would play big factors to the ranking

I just find it hard to justify ranking Mirai Nikki so high after stepping back and critiquing it I never really stepped back and critiqued it. I had a lot of fun watching it and that's about as far as I go. I'm not a critic in the slightest. I even liked High School of the Dead, and would recommend that anime as well. Samurai Champloo is number one on my list and I don't consider it the best anime by any means. But it is the one I enjoyed the most myself. There might be things that Future Diary did wrong, but there's also a lot of things it did right as well imo.

This is mostly shock reaction from seeing it being placed higher than shows like Madoka

It's kind of like when people try to bring down the Avengers by pointing out all of the obvious plot holes. That doesn't make me enjoy it any less. I never went into it caring if it had some brilliant bulletproof plot or not, I just wanted to see Hulk kick some ass. That was the brilliant part. As far Mirai Nikki, the brilliant part is how unpredictable it is, and how this normal kid gets thrown into this hunger game of psychos and how he handles it.  , I know people look down on fan service, gore, and shock value in the anime world, but I don't think there is an anime out there that handles those things as well as Mirai Nikki. At the end, I value enjoyment far more than anything else. But that's subjective, so the best I can do is rank these shows in order of how much I personally enjoyed them, how emotionally connected with them I am, and how much they kept me coming back for more.

I forgot that I watched DanMachi lmao also I still don't get how you have so many more hours than me, I've watched far more than 56 series (I'd say close to 70-75). Also I've seen about 600 eps of one piece, all 366 eps of Bleach, and almost all of Naruto. I rewatched dragonball z, all of Digimon (kinda dumb for me to do that) and rewatched yugioh (same) I think that covers those ALSO.... Update your mal! Wow, that's a lot of episodes to rewatch! The only anime I have ever rewatched was Death Note. I personally have WAAAAY too many shows/movies/anime to get through that I just don't have the time to rewatch things  Covering movies from today back to the 1930s is thousands of movies. I know I will never get through them all, but I want to get through as many as possible. Anime I have quite a few still to watch. Tv shows I have maybe a hundred on my 'to watch list'. Nowadays, I stick mainly to A list and B list. I realize how precious time is and how fast it moves. Simply not enough time to watch everything I want so I pick and choose my battles

Good on ya. My gripes with the show is that it tries to do too much and while Gasai Yuno is an incredible character, the show sacrificed every other character to develop her That was actually one of the things I enjoyed the most about the show. Yuno went from good guy to bad guy to good guy back and forth many times, and near the end it was so unpredictable whether or not she was good or evil. Going any further would be spoiling, but you know what I'm talking about if you've seen the show. I also thought Yuki was a great chatacter. Yeah he was a bitch and a social outcast, but if you were to take any one of us, or any normal person and put them into the same position as Yuki, I feel like you'd get just about the same outcomes beginning to end. He made a lot of questionable decisions but I think he was very human throughout the entire series. I do think the ending was a bit of a copout to the same effect as the return to death cop outs from Re:Zero, but that was one of the only things I disliked about the show. And that didn't exist until the final two episodes. But it's funny that one of your major complaints about the show is the one of the main things I loved the most about it. It's just cool because not a lot of anime goes that route. Most of the times, characters are good or evil right down the middle. I like that this anime kinda got away from that idea.

I don't have issue with Yuki's characterization. I don't like how he's the main character yet he experiences no growth at all. I get that Yuno is doing most if not all the killings in the show and that coddles Yuki, but Yuki doesn't show any signs of character improvement or wisdom gains. Sure the show spans only half a year, but crazy shit goes down the whole time and he doesn't have anything to show for it? Also, the show doesn't give us any incentive to care about any other character. It just kinda plops them in there for the sake of filling in roles and moving the story.

Also, the show doesn't give us any incentive to care about any other character. It just kinda plops them in there for the sake of filling in roles and moving the story. That's another part of the human aspect which made me like the show, and it's the same reason I love Re:Zero, which is one of the best shows of the year imo. Both main characters have their moments of being badass, but at the same time there isn't much development as far as them transforming over time and becoming the strongest or most brutal bloodthirsty character out there. And that's fine with me, but I can understand why some might not like it. It's different from the typical main character starting out as a nobody then somehow becoming the strongest character through the main protagonist plot armor. With shows like Re:Zero and Mirai Nikki they remain human and make human-like decisions or improvement throughout the series. I think the true character develop was how he dealt with the game and his relationship with Yuno, which I thought was great development. It was a little unorthodox but it was totally believable and that stood out to me. And I agree up to a point about the supporting characters. Imo they weren't much to care about but Black and White and I'm sure a lot of others loved "9th," and I grew to like her more throughout the series. I think she had decent development to the point where a lot of watchers cared about her towards the end of the series. But to me, Yuno was just so awesome that it really didn't bother me. I felt so attached to her and Yuki and how they would end up. It was a bit of a roller coaster.

I felt so attached to her and Yuki and how they would end up. It was a bit of a roller coaster. Admittingly, I did like what 9th became. It didn't make sense how she turned from Harley Quinn to Catwoman if you get what I'm trying to portray. Her character changes so much all because of one night with that detective. I loved Yuno's backstory and her ending backstory with the whole time thing. It shows the lines she'll cross for love, even if it means harming Yuki. It's all interpretation. I didn't see any signs if Yuki learning what it means to love someone. He kinda does nothing really at the end, which is true to his character, but by doing that, it makes me feel as if watching the show wasn't any sort of journey. It didn't seem like he was being used by the creators to convey a message either like Shinji was used in NGE. And I do agree that the main character doesn't have to completely change to a super awesome person by the end of a series. Welcome to the NHK did this well with the relationship of its two main characters. They didn't go a cliche route, but instead showed progress and something realistic to the situation at hand.

ballup do you actually recommend Samurai Flamenco? I've always considered watching it because it's on Netflix. What do you like about it, and why do you recommend it?

ballup do you actually recommend Samurai Flamenco? I've always considered watching it because it's on Netflix. What do you like about it, and why do you recommend it? I think it's so absurd and hilarious. It does a great job making fun of the superhero/power ranger genre. Even when things seem to get to a point of shit just got real, the show manages to shoe in a detail that makes the situation look silly in retrospect. There's one scene where the main character obtains new weapons for fighting crime and I just died laughing when he uses them in the field for the first time. It doesn't parody the genre in the same way OPM does though. My recommendations were made to showcase a variety of shows most of us didn't list and some that I personally liked

The OP was to list top 5 fav shows. My 5 are certainly a list, but not a ranking as what I defined before. Is there much of a point to recommending the same shows over and over again? I listed shows I enjoyed and thought were easy enough to get into.
