Dear god I've watched all of those except Darker Than Black I wouldn't include Dragonball Z, Naruto, Bleach or One Piece though, since they'll always do anything to stretch out a story to make more money, and DBZ is just **** unless you watched it as a kid
My favorite anime is Gungrave. Monster is also a great show which would make my top 20, along with most of the above.

There are anime which are better, at least for me , to watch when a have a little portion of alcohol in veins. Excel Saga is one of them, another great example is Dokuro Chan. Makes You laugh so hard. Just drink, watch and enjoy.

Gonna assume this isn't a troll, but neither of those are anime.

Regardless of it being a troll or not, anime is short for animation.

It doesn't matter if we assume people mean Japanese animation when they use the word, as long as they didn't say Batman Beyond is there favorite Japanese anime, they aren't wrong

e_e

The very definition of Anime in the rest of the world is Japanese Animation though. You never hear anyone use the term "American anime".

I'm probably being an annoying pedant, but whatev. On another board I saw someone rant and rave about how rubbish anime is and when asked what he'd seen he said "Avatar Airbender". :pac:

SeantheMan

There is a lack of "Death Note" on most lists:eek:

Each to their own. It's on 6 peoples list and the 2nd most repeated from all those lists after Cowboy Bebop though!

Decent show but waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much exposition in my opinion. Half the time is spent with people explaining the plot to each other.
