Thats a really though call, because the term "best" is really dependent on one`s tastes. But I can try and give a fairly objective opinion.

Horror (this is really tough because there just isn`t enough straight Horror anime shows):
- my first choice would be Blood: the Last Vampire.
- Elfen Lied; its new but extremly violent, you could say its a horror show.
- Urotsukidoji
- Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, NOT the first movie (that one sucked) but the secodn one which is a masterpiecie!!!
- and MAYBE you could classify Perfect Blue as a psychological Horror.
Of course there are other, less known anime titles but in my oppinion this would be the top 5. And one more thing. Hellsing is not a Horror anime. More like Action, Urban Fantasy. But no Horror.

Martial Arts:
- Tenjou Tenge
I personally think the manga is better but the anime is fairly good. It has a good dose of comedy but of course its main theme is ass kicking.
- Street Fighter
there is a TV series, movie and an OAV. I am huge fan of SF and to me its oen of the best martial arts anime.
- Fatal Fury: the Movie
some people really hate it but I enjoyed it! Especially when the main character is charging the enemy yelling POWER KNUCKLES! Hillarious Wink
- Teken: the motion picture
Say what you want but to me this movie rocks! Wink Nuff said.

And thats all I got in Martial Arts. I mean, Naruto has some good fights and Shadow skill also but thats it from the good titles.
And I am not touching the other categories bercause the area is just too vast. In case anyone was offended I didn't mention they fav anime from the above groups, I am sorry. Its just very hard to try and stay objective on this kind of topic.

It's as Arkard said, it all depends on your personal taste.

For example, my personal top five favorite anime are:

1) Naruto
2) X tv
3) The Twelve Kingdoms
4) Berserk
5) Wolf's Rain

You see. Now some people would probably say that some of the anime on my list were some of the worst anime that they have ever seen, but I wouldn't care because these are my personal favs Wink .

That's one of the many great things about anime. There is something out there for everyone.

Our listings are fairly standard when compared to the rest of the internet. Also, they may or may not be top-10, but other titles typically considered to be "good" can be found here:

animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=14063#14063

But this thread feels like it's going to degenerate into a "everyone list their top-10 favorites", and we've had too many list threads recently.
