Greatest Anime - Vote!

[Zenic]

Code geass
Cowboy bebop
dbz
Impossible to only choose one from that list. Lol

Agreed. But if it came down to my top three, it would be; DragonBall/Z/GT, Death Note, & InuYasha. Actually no, I can't decide either. All I know is that DBZ is at the top of my list

 

[6ari8]

Gintama should be there. That's my #1 Anime.

 

[Excālibur1]

Hunter X Hunter

 

[Aya San]

Naruto .

 

[Oblivionx]

Death Note and then the Code Geass....! 3rd is Naruto...
actually i like serious storyline in which people need a mind to actually do something and that's how i justify my list...

 

[Oblivionx]

Surprised more people aren't voting Code Geass. Lelouch needs more votes!

actually admin allowed only to choose one, that's why...!
code geass is my 2nd fav...!

 

[silmarill]

Code Geass, fma berserk and cowboy bebop

those 4 are in another leauge compared to the rest in my opinion

most people here only know Naruto or the big 3 so vote will be hilarius

 

[Illyasviel]

The greatest anime aren't offered on the list.But from the list,I would choose Code Geass.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Gurren Lagann is the best anime but it's not on the list.

So I voted Avatar, even though it isn't even an anime.

 

[~Shadowhunter Princess~]

I voted for Naruto. Death Note and FT are also awesome. But the greatest for me is Kuroko's Basketball.

 

[Chakra Wizard]

Only three votes for Bebop...wow. You can't even compare it to other anime, cause it's practically its own genre.

 

[xyzzybou]

My personal favorites i have watched are :-
1)Death Note
2)Code Geass
3)Steins Gate (Not in the voting list, please watch as it is truly awesome)
4) Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
5)Monster
6)Inu Yasha
7)One Piece
8)Naruto
9)Bleach ( only till the soul society arc, rest is pretty filler garbage )
10)Clannad
P.s- Best is first and the rest in ascending order

 

[xyzzybou]

why are more people voting for one piece??? i know it is a good anime but death note,code geass , stiens gate are in a completely different league.
people who have not watched the above three should really watch them as they are a real eye opener on what high quality anime is.

p.s- all three (death note,code geass,steins) gate have small number of episodes, not like naruto or one piece.

 

[Zexion~]

Lol, one piece leads the votes....What has this site become U_U


Anyways my favorite is Naruto however the greatest in my eyes is def. FMAB,

 

[Jack Spicer]

Avatar isn't an anime, but I'll vote for it. My favorite fictional thing ever.

 

[ANBU BlackOpps]

Why have you only put FMA And not FMA Brotherood. Thats the greatest anime of all time.

Why are people just voting for their favorites. It seems like no one knows what the word Greatest is.
I said they wouldn't in my first post too, but it didn't stop them from posting their favorite and voting for their favorite


The point of the thread was which anime is the greatest, not which is your favorite. Yes there are many good short animes like Code Geass, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Samurai Champloo, Death Note, etc... But it terms of what they have accomplished in a grand scheme of thing, it is nothing compared to One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, DBZ, etc... The biggest reason why is how long they are.

They are more well known in the grand scheme of anime, and they have done more in the anime/manga world then shorter ones. They influence others to start reading the shorter anime too. I doubt you would have read ANY of those shorter anime without getting into one of the bigger ones I mentioned earlier.

I doubt this post will change anything either.

Length doesn't make an anime great, though. It's their popularity that allows their authors to keep them running so long. I commend Oda and Kishimoto for having so much creativity to keep OP and Naruto running for as long as they have (Oda, especially), but writers like Anno and Watanabe have managed to accomplish so much more with much shorter works (Evangelion and Bebop, respectively, both of which are arguably more famous than any of the major shōnen anime).

And trust me, no matter what he might've ASKED people to base their vote on, bias is inevitable. If people were really listening to him, every single vote so far would've been for Bebop (mainly cause all its biggest rivals aren't even on the list).

You know, Cowboy Bebop didn't appeal to me as much as others have. It was a neat story. It's simple but yet complex because of their complicated back stories. Spike did have an awesome "death" too.


Now Evangelion, that is some crazy shit. It did have a big impact on the anime society when it was introduced, and it was very popular. So popular they remade the series again. It's just the ending for the anime was so bizarre, it turned me off. As a mecha series goes, it is one of the more popular ones with a great story, BUT is isn't the most well known. That goes to Gundam Wing or Voltron.

Both had such a huge impact and influenced many. Gundam Wing became so popular, there were at least half a dozen spin offs with the same theme. I think Voltron(next to Power Rangers) is one of the most known giant robot animes where 5 people fuse together and create a bigger robot.

Do you see a bit of what i mean by Greatest vs Popular. Popular is a sub set of greatest. It is part of the total package as to what makes something great. The length is also part of it which helps a series become popular and it influences other mangaka to create series based on a simple idea. Some other things would be what that specific anime/manga has achieved, or milestones. Like DB and OP are known for how many volumes they have sold world wide. Pokemon is known for its awesome games. Yu Gi Oh is known for its card game, but may not have existed if Pokemon didn't come along first. Digimon was also heavily influenced by Pokemon as well.


I just keep going off on tangents....


There is so much behind the word greatness that "my favorite" or "popular" can't even begin to describe.


I'm curious though, Have you ever watched Watanabe's other great work Samurai Champloo? It is one of my other favorites. If you haven't do it!

 

[flyboyissac]

Hunteer x hunter ftw but also naruto and one piece are good
