Best anime series?

[MyMonkeyLife]

Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad

This is my absolute favorite anime ever.

Digimon especially Digimon Tamers and Frontier, I remember the days sitting my butt on the ground watching Jetix and there Digimon marathons back in the day.

I loved how in Frontier (I saw this one first) where they had the kids transform, and fight as Digimon, that was pretty cool. Tamers started off as another Digimon series, but later was cool to see the bonding (and even fusion of) Tamer and Digimon towards the end.

I wish they made more Digimon anime like those two.

 

[Corrupt-Canine]

Hunter X Hunter. Though it's chronological and it's easy to get lost if you don't watch it in order. Interesting world lore. The series is based around survival, competition, and action.

 

[Ashke]

Gun X Sword. It's a mecha show that starts a bit repetitive, but goes into a deep plot that's pretty satisfying.
Yami No Matsuie. This one's a supernatural show about shinigami. It's a string of three stories about the same characters cut into episodes.
Akame Ga Kill. An assassin group fights against a corrupt Empire. It's characterizations are pretty strong and it's a bit dark.
Katekyo Hitman Reborn. This one's a bit tough, as the first 20 eps start as a comedy that's a bit repetitive and seems to introduce characters that have no point. After the 20 mark, though, it all starts to come together. Things get real and it becomes super addicting.

I've been getting back into it lately and I wanted to know what y'alls all-time favorites are
I know everyone has different preferences, but I'm always open to any recs. I'll be more likely to watch if you tell me why you like it

If I had to pick my Favorites would be...

• Spice and Wolf
• Toradora
• Cowboy Bebop
  
• My Hero Academia (Boku no hero Academia)
  
• Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
  
• Konosuba
• Sweetness & lightning
  
• Hellsing (Ultimate)

I would recommend these as well. Some are romance based and/or comedic whiles others are action and combat oriented. Overall I thought these has some of the most memorable scenes to me while I was growing up. Some of these are newer but I saw them as gems that could rival the series of my youth.

 

[Pipistrele]

I'll add Paranoia Agent to my list. It's like Twin Peaks, only without all the shoddy romance .u.

 

[Fyrekracker]

I'm really happy to see Hellsing Ultimate getting so much love! It's my favorite anime of all time, paws down. Trinity Blood also holds a special place in my heart, but the animation gets kind of wonky-looking at times.

 

[DecentBadger]

Here's my list:

• Revolutionary Girl Utena
• Ge Ge Ge no Kitarou 2018
  
• Kemono Friends
• Re: Zero
  
• Digimon Season 2
  
• Crayon Shin-Chan (Don't watch the dub if you want the show's proper context. The dub is hilarious, but it's literally Ghost Stories-tier and the original
  Japanese version is actually really sweet and heartwarming)
• Madoka Magica. This one is my all-time favorite

 

[Mach]

These are some top contenders for me.
-Cowboy Bebop
-Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
-Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex
-Ghost In The Shell: Arise
-Cyborg 009 (The 2000 series)
-Black Lagoon
-Jormungand
-Planetes (This is one gets overlooked a lot, but before the Expanse, there was Planetes.)
-Kaiba (Nobody has heard of this in the United States, but I sing this series's praises because if you are looking for the most heartwarming, heartbreaking anime you will ever see, this is it.) tvtropes.org: Kaiba

 

[Gryphoneer]

If we go by "widely recognized masterpieces", the list is clear:

Cowboy Bebop (known far beyond the anime fandom)

Legend of the Galactic Heroes (the original is a classic, the remake is a successful translation into modern standards tho)

Paranoia Agent (more on the obscure side, but hey, Satoshi fucking Kon)

Monster (another one not as many have heard of, but it's absolute gold as expected from a faithful Naoki Urasawa adaptation)

 

[SwirlyLion]

Mine is an early one:

Kimba, The White Lion!

OOOOOOHHHH i LOOVE KIMBA!! This version is the best too <3

 

[SwirlyLion]

All of my favs are:
Kimba the white lion
Astro boy
Dr. BlackJack
Cowboy Bebop
Ashita no Joe
CatSoup (its a cute movie, I recommend!)
Devilman

 

[Simo]

OOOOOOHHHH i LOOVE KIMBA!! This version is the best too <3

It is a really amazing show! Astroboy is fun, too, and the b&w 8th Man Series is also quite good! I'd like to look into what else exists, from the 60s/70s era. I note some on your list by this guy, who I've really enjoyed:

Osamu Tezuka - Wikipedia

I read his series of graphic novels/manga on the Life of The Buddha, and those were amazing. At turns sad, funny, violent, but never mushy and sentimental; that work certainly left a lasting impression.

Yeah! Osamu Tezuka is the best. I really do recommend Ashita no Joe though, it really has a special place in my heart. The manga is excellent and I loooove the main character.

 

[Infrarednexus]

I’m a big fan of the Miazaki films like Kiki’s delivery service, Spirited Away, and Castle in the Sky. I know they aren’t really a series, but they are a beatiful anime creation none they less, and I recommend them for everyone.

[Fiorabeast]

Here's my list:

• Revolutionary Girl Utena
• Ge Ge Ge no Kitarou 2018
  
• Kemono Friends
• Re: Zero
  
• Digimon Season 2
  
• Crayon Shin-Chan (Don't watch the dub if you want the show's proper context. The dub is hilarious, but it's literally Ghost Stories-tier and the original
  Japanese version is actually really sweet and heartwarming)
• Madoka Magica. This one is my all-time favorite

Gegege no Kitaro is my childhood, and the new version is really good and I love it!
But... Crayon-shin chan is sweet and heartwarming?! Did the current episodes change or something the last time I watched that?! (I mean, I remember Shin-chan being a typical embarrassment and annoying kid to his mom and dad when I watched the show as a kid!). I thought Chibi Maruko-chan was a bit more heartwarming and sweet, imo.

 

[The Cospunk Prince]

Princess Tutu- Don't let the name fool you, it is incredibly darke, detailed, wacky, and just beautiful. The best way to describe it is a Story within a Story.

Kaleido Star- a Circus anime about a Japanese girl who goes to the US to become a circus performer. Incredibly silly and the animation is wonderful.

Hare+Guu- If you liked Pop Team Epic, you'll probably like this. It is far too random for me to even think of a way to summarise it.

Rozen Maiden- These magic dolls who have to fight to the death, and the humans who brought them to life. (The animation is great but being totally honest I mainly watched it for the soundtrack, the OST is AMAZING)

Your Lie In April- If you want a good cry, by all means. Currently on Netflix.

Black Blood Brothers- Vampire anime. I never got to finish it but it's on my list.
