| My top 20▲▼ | Comment▲▼ |
| Another (TV) | Rank 16 - Favorite horror anime as of yet |
| Baccano! (TV) | Rank 10 - Hilarious, makes productive use of a choppy timeline, and isn't shy about death |
| Bakemonogatari (TV) | Rank 14 - Spectacular art and (finally) a harem with character depth, and frankly Sengokuuuuuuu |
| Bakuman. (TV) | Rank 06 - If you ask me why I like it that much....honestly I dunno, maybe it's Niizuma |
| Ben-To (TV) | Rank 15 - If anybody broadcasts this in Africa there will be world war...and the UN will lose |
| Blast of Tempest (TV) | Rank 07 - I hosted a contest in my heart of hearts between this and Sakurasou while they both aired, and Zetsuen here barely came out on top |
| Buso Renkin (TV) | Rank 17 - One of the strongest character casts I've seen, and interesting combat scenes |
| Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (TV) | Tied for top 3 - Because Lelouch is a fucking genius, especially at the end |
| Cowboy Bebop (TV) | Rank 18 - There's obviously a 5th crewman aboard the ship....the phantom repairman |
| Death Note (TV) | Rank 09 - *diehard L fangirl here* |
| Eden of the East (TV) | Rank 11 - Megalomaniacs unite to save Japan \o/ |
| Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV) | Rank 04 - I found it exceptional in all aspects but not utterly spectacular in any one...otherwise it'd make first |
| GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka (TV) | Tied for top 3 - Inspirational and hilarious, and Onizuka is my favorite pervert protagonist |
| Hunter X Hunter (TV 1999) | Tied for top 3 (also includes Spider and Greed Island OVAs) - Chief among the series' many original elements, the protagonist uses a fucking fishing rod as his main weapon |
| Kino's Journey (TV) | Rank 13 - Kino is my favorite girl-with-guns and perhaps my favorite female protagonist |
| Oreimo (TV) | Rank 20 - Impressive amount of work put into the production, with facial expressions that...express, and ever-changing opening videos |
| (The) Pet Girl of Sakurasou (TV) | Rank 08 - Akasaka Ryuunosuke wins automatic bonus points for being a male tsundere |
| Rainbow - Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin (TV) | Rank 05 - A rare gem among stories without either a core plot or a focus on romance; an exemplary demonstration of all aspects of human relation, and an ending that leaves no loose threads |
| Steins;Gate (TV) | Rank 12 - If recruitment was open for Time Lords, I think Hououin Kyoma- I mean, Okarin- I mean, Okabe Rintarou would make the cut |
| Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files (TV) | Rank 19 - Was like the 3rd anime I ever watched and I used to consider it my favorite (before I had seen many series to choose from), but still gets two thumbs-up for classy old-school shounen |
