5. Darker than Black

SUCH a good anime! It's in my top 15. Also, for someone who says they don't watch a lot of anime, I'm curious as to how you got into Darker than BLACK? It's somewhat obscure for an anime to pick up...

I have a lot of friends who watch anime, and I just asked one of them for a recommendation once and was told to watch Darker than Black. I really liked the episodic feel of it.
 
I've always had the super hearts for Fushigi Boshi No Futago Hime.

So girly and cute and also had really good morals :)

I've watched it several times.

I also love season 1 of digimon cuz of childhood nostalgia. Sailor moon, too, is nostalgic, but I think I still like Digimon more xD

My top 10 is always changing, but without a doubt, my favorite anime was Shin Sekai Yori. No question. It was stunningly done, in message, in animation, in writing. In my eighteen years or so of watching anime, I have never seen anything that even starts to hold a candle to SSY. It's got some really poignant eugenics and sociology lessons, and there's twists all the way up to the very last five minutes of the very last episode, just when you think there can't possibly be anything else that could take you by surprise. Great, three-dimensional characters. Great pacing. Incredible music. ("Song of Shadows" is hauntingly beautiful and amazingly atmospheric ... if you don't watch the anime, at least listen to the song. You'll thank me later.) I cannot sing enough praises about it. It blows every other anime I've ever seen out of the water.

Anohana had me crying during every episode, so I'd put that somewhere in there. Madoka Magica's art is incredible, and the style the witches are done in is fascinating, plus the dark take on magical girls ... which I've always liked because I'm not one for idyllic near-trouble-free life where the messages of hope and love feel too far away for me, as someone living in reality where aliens and monsters don't regularly appear and require me to defeat them with the power of friendship, to relate to. And there are a lot of anime I've enjoyed for their settings, or their messages, or the style they're told in. However, nothing ever made quite an impression on me as SSY. So that's the only one I'd one hundred percent for sure put in a top ten.

Everything else is childhood nostalgia, or didn't leave enough of an impression, or I only really liked one aspect of it.

You have excellent taste.
 
I loved Fushigi Boshi No Futago Hime (is that the right title?).

It was so cute and awesome and I watched the whole thing twice :3

Yay for sparkly princess stuff
 
This is tough because there's so many I've loved, but:

1) 91 Days
2) Yuri on ice
3) Kyou kara maoh
4) Kuroko No basuke
5) FullMetal Alchemist
6) Showa genoku rakugo shinju
7) Noragami
8) Seraph of the end
9) One punch man
10) Tokyo Ghoul



School Rumble, Clannad, Angel beats, Death parade, Haikyuu, Black Clover, Junjou romantica and Devilman: Crybaby would probably make the list for me too, but it's limited to ten so.

Full metal alchemist (1st anime) - Mr. Ed is my fav big brother, he LITERALLY gave up his ARM to put his younger brother's soul in an armor, sigh i wish my big brother loved me this much
Grandma spoon - i barely renember it, but it was cute
Nadia the secret of blue water - it's a rare anime in poland, but i watched it via the german RTL2, it has a nice intro and the main heroine is a hot loli, the villains reminds me of the Doronjo band from Yattaman
Golden boy - A pornographic anime that i watched via MTV germany, Kintaro really knows how to treat the women with respect
Captain Tsubasa - first known it via a game for the famiclone, nice anime about football
Digimon - It may be a Pokemon rippoff, but hearing it with the japanese score will gave you emotional feel
Sailor Moon - One of the few good animes i view as a kid in mid 90s, still love Sailor V and the starlights' Seiya, it reccently returned to poland

My top spots are always changing and shifting around. But here's a few that I've really enjoyed.
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood- In a time when I was starting to really fall out of love with anime for a variety of reasons, this was the anime that rekindled my love for the genre. This is a classic though so I'll spare y'all the explanation you've heard a thousand times.

Kiss Him, Not Me- This is definitely one of those animes that it really applies to only a specific group of people, but if you're one of those people you'll definitely get a kick out of it. Essentially, it's your typical harem anime, where the main girl has four guys (and one girl) pining after her. There's just one problem. She's super into yaoi and wants them to all date each other instead. All in all it's actually pretty cute and a great intro to its manga as well if you want to see how the whole story ends.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun- Again, definitely one of those animes who has a very specific target audience. Even so, this is definitely like my second favorite anime of all time. It's such a shame it's so short because it really is very good. It does well to make fun of the shojo romance genre as a whole, with a great cast of characters, and an ongoing manga! The anime pretty much exactly parallels the manga too so it's a great intro for it as well.

Voltron- While not technically an anime per say, the recent series, Legendary Defenders, is well worth watching. It's not a really long show at all, with season lengths varying from 6 to like 13 episodes. It's just overall a good watch that you can tell the voice actors had a lot of fun doing the whole time they were making the show.
