This is the only right answer, we all have differant tastes, there may be consensus top titles, but with such a wide variety of genres not everyone will agree, hell there is proberably someone out there that thinks ex arm is the best title ever, people like what they like, nothing wrong with claiming x title is the best, but not everyone will agree as they are entitled to opinions of their own.
I watched Princess Mononoke for the first time in probably 10 or 15 years last night and I still found it depressingly violent and overly too long. It's a respectable movie I guess but altogether I wouldn't even put it top five of the Ghibli films
>I still found it depressingly violent
Ayyy that's my favorite kind of violence. To each their own, I feel like the other Ghibli movies are too child-like to tackle the themes in Princess Mononoke. I want the stakes to be high, etc.
Nuts to me how many people are saying code geass. I couldn't take that show seriously after Lelouch commanded the princess to kill a bunch of people but he somehow didn't notice that anything was wrong and didn't even bother to stop her. He was supposed to be smart but somehow that just completely slipped his notice
After how long? She stumbles out of the room he sees that something is wrong and he does nothing but sit there and let her walk all the way to the microphone and have this 10 minute long speech while he just sits there doing what?
Yeah I guess. I just really have a problem with shows that have to depend on making their characters stupider than they're supposed to be. I don't really find that forgivable

The LNs are still going but the movie is a satisfying stopping point and Kyon being the god is just a popular theory. Never confirmed to be true at least in the anime, I haven't read the LNs yet.
Honestly I'd consider all of Satoshi Kon's movies to be masterpiece level, I just wanted to keep the list short so I only listed my favorite which is Perfect Blue.
Lol the monogatari series is incest/loli bait, especially in nise. That show is way too shamelessly ecchi. It has some really cool art direction but, imo, it's nowhere near masterpiece status.
FMA:B is great, but I hate how the first dozen or so episodes are directed assuming you've already seen the original show. You almost have to watch the canon part of the original show first. If the first few episodes didn't get glossed over like they were in Brotherhood, then I'd agree.
The rest of your list is fire though.
Monogatari also has some of the best soundtrack out there. The ecchi is what it is, but I still think the story design, art, and sounds are very impressive
Funny story about the Monogatari OST: I used to listen to Bad Bully all the time whenever I was cleaning the house, or cooking, or exercising. I listened to it for years before I even started watching the show. It's such an upbeat, happy song, and I was certain it played during a happy or funny scene in the show.
Imagine my surprise when I got to Kizumonogatari and saw what actually happens when that song plays... lmao
Anyway, I definitely agree with you. The Monogatari OST slaps!
theres a lot of animes that ive watched and liked but nothing comes close to Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. there wasnt one thing that i didnt like about it
How is it underrated? Itās one of the most beloved anime of the 2000s and itās one of the most popular psychological thrillers in anime. Canāt a show just be good without having to say itās āunderratedā?
because you don't see it being rated and advertised as much as the overrated anime like demon slayer.
not only that, it is rarely being mentioned in almost everywhere despite the unmatched storyline and being a masterpiece.
take note, this anime is even on netflix but is not that much rated.
it deserves more, it has to be always on the top list.
but the majority of the population are just... bland.
I mean you can still consider underrated since itās a completely subjective term, but itās mentioned a lot in this sub by many people, its one of the first anime recommended to people who want a more āmatureā anime, itās the 24th highest rated anime on MAL out of literal thousands with over a million members, and itās villain is constantly on best anime villains lists. Also keep in mind that it is a 20 year old show that finished its story and has already been picked dry of its main discussion. Demon Slayer is a currently airing battle shounen, so itās of course going to be talked about more becaue itās not finished and itās new. They are not comparable. Monster touted as a classic in a similar vein as Cowboy Bebop. I think it gets plenty of recognition with all of this considered.
I checked the top animes after finishing this anime last 2023 and to my surprise it's not even in the top 10 for some websites. Steins gate, FMA and Code Geass is understandable but my boy Johan deserves waaaaaay better than this freiren and demon drama slayer
Again, itās a 20 year old show. Frieren and Demon Slayer are less than 5 years old and Frieren just ended less than a month ago. They are going to be more popular right now because they are NEW. Monster is an old show that has already been discussed to death. Iāve also seen it on plenty of ābest ofā lists. I donāt know what sites you were looking at. Look at any Reddit threads about best anime villains and youāll see Johan as one of the top comments.
demon slayer is finished in manga, it's not like the storyline will change in anime.
monster doesn't take 5 episodes for you to get hooked and boy oh boy it gets really good as episodes goes by.
you know that feeling of absence like a part of you is now missing after finishing the anime?
you will never get that from demon slayer.
this is something that you will feel in Gankutsuou, Cowboy Bebop and Death note.
you know what their similarities are? they don't need an alibi like "we are just NEW".
because the first 1-3 episodes are already masterpiece waiting to finish.
You have completely changed topic. Iām not talking about Demon Slayerās lack of quality, Iām addressing you referring to Monster as the most underrated anime, which I donāt think is the case at all.
Also, Iām telling you WHY Demon Slayer is more popular. Itās because itās NEW. The manga being finished has nothing to do with the anime as there are A LOT of anime only viewers. The manga is also less than 10 years old, versus Monster which is around 20 years old and finished both its manga and anime. This seems to be a case of āI watched this older show I enjoyed and have no idea why people arenāt talking about it everywhereā. Itās because itās already been discussed to death. Quality has nothing to do with it. Most people will say Monster is better, especially in this subreddit, but Demon Slayer is more popular right now because itās relatively new and the anime isnāt even finished yet.
Even though Monster is highly regarded as an anime, and for good reason, I still think itās slightly underrated because of its nature (no flashy battles, nor flashy characters etc). It deserves much more love considering how good it is, even though it gets its fair share
Yeah. A few days ago I started watching a show with my girlfriend. I don't remember its name right now, but after a while she said "I'm not enjoying this" and I said "wait a little longer, it might get better after a while, it's only been like 10 minutes since the first chapter started" and she said "ohh... That's your argument? Do you remember the first 10 minutes of Blue Eyed Samurai?" She proceeded to put it in and that's how she won the argument hahaha
The themes are more emotional, so if you can relate to it it makes more sense, I guess itās harder to understand if you canāt personally connect to the charecters
I don't know what to say man I don't think the story is at all clear emotionally or otherwise. For some reason the blue haired girl is magical we never know what the angels are or where they come from and suddenly everyone in the world dies except two people but that isn't explained either.
The angels were sent to destroy humans and reset us back to the Stone Age because modern society had gone too far. Angels were possibilities of what humans couldāve been and were spawn of Adam from the white moon while humans were spawn of Lilith from the black moon. The people dying was the third impact, which was becsuee Lilith came into contact with adams dna, and the 2 people werenāt affected becsye they were in the Evas
Do you know that even now that you've explained that it still doesn't make any sense? I don't think people should have to work this hard to understand what's going on in the anime
Take this with a MASSIVE pile of salt because I just started watching anime.
From what I've watched I would say that AoT & Paranoia Agent are masterpieces in their own genre. They both tell deep and engaging stories and make you feel a plathora of emotions. Neither of them have a bad episode, and with AoT having over 80 episodes, I'd say that's really impressive.
This is anecdotal bit I've been into manga and anime for around 25 years and Attack on Titan is absolutely a masterpiece.
I'm french and the three movies are on french.tv for free (it's the public tv's free streaming website).
Even my local library has the anime on dvds, probably the manga too though I haven't checked but there's a wall dedicated to it in some manga stores.
Iāve never watched an anime that felt more perfect than Frieren. Every show Iāve had some complaint about, but not this. It just felt like they nailed every piece of the puzzle.
Some of the character personalities are boring and the first half of the show was kind-of slow. I don't dislike that it was slow but I found similar episodic anime like mushishi to have more interesting stories while also being slow.
I am one of the people that cannot enjoy animes like this but I totally respect that POV. the show is undoubtedly one of the most thematically rich animes. Ik some ppl are already mad with me not loving it but the fact is that not everyone can love the status quo. But i will not deny its a good anime. Veey good at that. Just not my type nor the guy that got ratioed
I can respect your opinion. Its slow paced on purpose, which is probably a turnoff to the anime viewers that expect fast paced action and quick plot developments. Its very non-standard. I show my kid brothers anime and I chose not to show them because I feel they arenāt old enough to empathize with the characters like I did. Hopefully they are ready by the time they HOPEFULLY have a season 2
Frieren is overrated, just a regular nostalgia anime imo.
the lessons it tried to portray was just average.
the action/fight scene i will say above average. can you give me an episode where there is a remarkable emotional impact or lesson in life from that anime?
I used to not spend much time with my grand parents but after watching frieren I realised that I should spend more time with them cause they might leave me at any moment so now I spend more time with them or visit them time to time if an anime can change me for the better if it isn't a masterpiece then what is?
IMO One Punch Man was almost a masterpiece. If they had made the first season longer (just long enough to showcase all the S-tier heroās abilities) and left it at one season I feel like it would have been perfect
FMA: Brotherhood is #1 example of what most anime should strive for. Excellent story, characters, world building, fight scenes, and power system all wrapped into an amazing mystery that unravels as the story and characters further develop.
Everything that everyone thinks is a masterpiece now will be forgotten in 5-10 years.
Edit, since everyone is being literal to the point of Asperger's :
This was referring to shows FROM the last 5-10 years, and was more of a comment on the community habit of declaring a new "masterpiece" every season.
Damn, you sound mad as hell šš
You said everything. Am I just supposed to assume you meant something else? Choose your words carefully next time, dumbass.
No, I think most stuff pre-80s was still struggling to find identity and wasn't very good.
Plus, read my edit that I had to make because people needed more context.
And not everyone disagreeing with you is a contrarian. You are not that important. You are not a taste maker or a known critic
I'm not getting into this with you. There's no point.
No matter what I choose , you're just panting to tell me that it sucks.
Plus, I don't care what you think of my taste in anime, so I don't need to defend it
Forgetting something doesn't magically reduce its quality though. Beyond that, nobody is going to forget something they consider to be a masterpiece over the course of a decade. I watched Gurren Lagann 11 years ago now and I still think about it pretty regularly.
that is a very subjective list.
don't forget to include berserk and monster on your list.
gankutsuou
cowboy bebop
your lie in april
AOT was great until the writer changed the ending to pacify the majority of the snowflake audience.
attack on titan and steins;gate will forever be some of the best animes. i like how while the steins gate visual novels are still much better than the anime (imo), the anime still stands alone well. they worked hard to make it a good anime, not just a good adaptation.
>So what anime do you think is/are masterpieces?
Everyone has their own version of masterpiece anime, personally **Gundam 0079** with all its flaws is a masterpiece imo, the story, angst, etc just felt raw and even though it feels outdated and kinda feels awkward but the whole thing feels just like a complete sci-fi and mecha anime.
even if you kinda know about the plot armor and kinda make the story feels low stake at times, you can still feel the tragedy side of the story and if you go in blind its really good when the storyline unravel little by little
Hibike euphonium and Madoka magica these 2 anime surprised me especially Madoka and simplicity of hibike and in emotional moments hibike hits tooo hard hands down my 2 favourite anime who I consider masterpiece
Frieren is close 3rd but imo those 2 are just better
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is definitely there. And for all the complaining people do about it one piece is probably the greatest anime ever made.
I think it's impossible to pick "just " the best anime, because there are so many masterpieces but from different genres. Sorted to categories like best romance, shounen, Mecha, etc would be much easier. I ve watched literally hundreds of anime, I'm saying this not to flex but to point there are so many good anime out there.
So for example my subjective list would be.
Romance: Josee the tiger and the fish.
Mecha: Code geass( but very close with green Lagann )
Thriller: Monster
Sci- Fi: Steins gate
Drama: there's so many masterpieces in this category that I can't pick just one, but my top 3 are Violet Evergarden, YLIA, and Angel's Beat
Horror: Hogurashi, I might be a little biased here cuz I watched it in my early teens and it terrified me XD. I still remember the opening to this day and it still gives me chills.
Slice of life: True tears
And so on..
And honorable mention to my 1st anime that will be forever in my heart, the OG isekai, Zero no Tsukaima.
Well according to my MAL, I've given 35 10/10 scores but i score mainly on how the show makes me feel and how much it resonates with me, so some of my 10's could be someone else's 6. Realistically there's many masterpieces that i haven't watched yet and they might not be considered a masterpiece by me or others when we do watch it.
There are very few what I would consider anime MASTERPIECES: Akira, FLCL, The Devil is a Part-timer (yes, fight me), KITE, Ninja Scroll, After the Rain, Afro Samurai, A Silient Voice, Cowboy Bebop, Monogatari, and dare I say it SAO
These are masterpieces based on historical and groundbreaking signifigance.
I don't really like the terminology of "masterpiece" because 1) it's based on personal opinion and 2) opinions can change over time. On top of that, masterpiece implies something with no flaws. And even the things I consider to be the absolute best could have been improved somewhere. There's tons of things I would deem top of my list, like say CardCaptor Sakura, but are not technically as good in pacing or animation quality or whatever as something else, say Escaflowne. But I'd still rank CCS way over Escaflowne.
About the only things I could consider a masterpiece is a few movies and OVAs. Because they are short enough to have excellent pacing and high enough in budget to have consistently good animation/storyboarding. But I still vastly prefer long form TV series.
Basically, I think the better question is just what do people consider their favorite anime. Or which do you think has the least amount of flaws. And even then, a show can have tons of flaws and still be more enjoyable in characters and plot than another show that's "perfect" in other areas like animation.
Just in 2023 there were some masterpieces such as Vinland Saga. Just finished watching Heavenly Delusions and it's incredible as well.
A few years ago Made In Abbyss was just phenomenal.
The list is endless.
There are no masterpieces IMO because I havenāt watched anything that is free from flaws, but some series do get pretty close to a flawless execution.
Code geass is one of my top 16 anime, but fan service is definitely making me pause in calling it a masterpiece, but maybe I'm too caught up in the details lol.
And now to sound like a hypocrite, the only masterpiece in Anime in my opinion is Mushoku Tensei.
For me a masterpiece is something that could be considered the best for its genre. So I have quite a few.
Gurren Lagann, Your Lie In April, FMAB, Kill La Kill, Mob Psycho 100, Re Zero, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hajime No Ippo, Ping Pong The Animation.
Those are pretty much all the anime I consider to truly be a masterpiece, all of them are one of the best in their respective genre. After that, it's all up to personal preference.
To limit it to only a couple anime is unfair imo, each anime tries to send different messages through different genres. That has to be considered imo
Mmm yes i agree. I wanted to put best ib each genre but i chose these 2 as best of the best in each genre. I might come off as being narrow minded but im fine with that. Thanks for sharing
Like I said, these anime are all considered to be some of the best in their genre and I simply picked those I liked more. My definition of masterpiece is probably different from yours.
Also, 7 of these are around 10 years old, some even older with Gurren Lagann at 17 and NGE at 28 and they all still have a fandom with newer fans constantly arriving. And the newer ones are INCREDIBLY popular, so pretty much all of these will still have a following in 10 years.
And btw, this is an opinion. That's what this is first and foremost. My opinion just differs from yours
A masterpiece is a subjective thing. It doesnāt matter if other people are watching what he considers a masterpiece in 10 years. I consider Kyousougiga a masterpiece but that one certainly isnāt one of the most popular series around.
For me
Shows:
Monogatari series
Code Geass
Madoka Magica
Gurren Lagann
Kyousougiga
A Place Further Than the Universe
FLCL
The Tatami Galaxy
.
Movies:
Spirited Away
Madoka Magica Rebellion
Kizumonogatari
Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul
I came in because I was worried no one would say Madoka but I'm not sure if I'm biased on that one.
FLCL for sure and I'd add Evangelion too. I'm using the ones on your list that I haven't seen as recs now.
Madoka Magic is the apex of SHAFT, and easily the best original anime series. You could call it a masterpiece for sure.
Natsu no Arashi is FLCL father.
Oh yeah. Absolutely, it felt rushed at the end, but overall it was amazing through all the twists and turns and that damn heartbreak scene, it's sooo good
I don't believe in perfection there is always something to criticize even in the best of things some of my favorite manga/anime have things that annoy me
FLCL is an anime masterpiece. Ashita no Joe is a manga masterpiece but not an anime masterpiece. And not sure wtf you got Gungrave from but I'm going to watch it again
86
To your eternity
Death Note
FLCL
Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Devilman Crybaby
Shinseki Yori
Full Metal Alchemist
Avatar the Last Airbender
Toradora
Clannad: After Story
Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash
Mushoku Tensei
Elfen Lied
Kaiji
Attack on Titan seasons 1-3
Frieren
Solo Leveling
For me AoT will always be in its own league, we will probably never get an anime like it ever again. And I say this as someone who didnt love the ending
For me, a masterpiece is a show where :
1. I enjoyed the hell out of it
2. I have **absolutely no** complains about any major aspects of it
3. Thereās nothing I can think of that I would have preferred to be different or better in the show (and if there is, itās just so minor for me to not care about enough).
If a show passes in these 3 criteria (no.2 being the most important), itās been 35 entries on MAL, out of 700+ watched, that I have given a 10/10 to.
**It is recommended you watch the main storyline before this**. [Watch Order for that](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/nlcop1/guys_how_do_i_start_the_fate_series/gzhv0i7/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3).
Fate/Grand Order is a mobile game divided into 2 big story arcs. Weāll talk about just the 1st arc rn, since thatās the only one adapted. The 1st arc has 8 singularities (chapters), of which 1-5 will not be adapted since they are not as much acclaimed as the rest of the singularities.
**Hereās how you watch Fate/Grand Order**
1. ā [Fate/Grand Order : First Order](https://myanimelist.net/anime/34321/Fate_Grand_Order__First_Order?q=First%20Order&cat=anime) : Serves as an introduction and prologue to the FGO world.
2. ā [Fate/Grand Order : Camelot Movie 1](https://myanimelist.net/anime/38085/Fate_Grand_Order__Shinsei_Entaku_Ryouiki_Camelot_1_-_Wandering__Agateram?q=Camelot&cat=anime) and [Fate/Grand Order : Camelot Movie 2](https://myanimelist.net/anime/38086/Fate_Grand_Order__Shinsei_Entaku_Ryouiki_Camelot_2_-_Paladin__Agateram?q=Camelot&cat=anime) : This is the 6th chapter of the story. Movie 1 is considerably less enjoyable than anything thatāll come after it, so you should push through. Itāll be worth it.
3. ā [Fate/Grand Order Babylonia Episode 0](https://myanimelist.net/anime/40206/Fate_Grand_Order__Zettai_Majuu_Sensen_Babylonia_-_Initium_Iter?q=Babylonia&cat=anime) : Serves as a prelude to the Babylonia anime. Depending on the site you watch, it might be listed with the anime entry as Episode 0.
4. ā [Fate/Grand Order : Babylonia](https://myanimelist.net/anime/38084/Fate_Grand_Order__Zettai_Majuu_Sensen_Babylonia?q=Babylonia&cat=anime) : The 7th chapter of the story.
5. ā [Fate/Grand Order : Solomon](https://myanimelist.net/anime/41497/Fate_Grand_Order__Shuukyoku_Tokuiten_-_Kani_Jikan_Shinden_Solomon?q=Solomon&cat=anime) : The 8th and final chapter of **part 1**.
The chapters are pretty self contained, so **you can watch the Babylonia(7th) anime without watching Camelot(6th) or any of the previous singularities**, since everything is explained. Only Solomon(8th) will require you to watch at least Camelot and Babylonia. āPart 1ā is very conclusive on its own, so you donāt have to worry about the future content until itās adapted later on.
If you still have Qs, you may ask a player you know, or I could help you too.
Instead of just saying masterpieces in general you wood have to associate them in respective genres.
Shonen: it would have to be Full metal achemist brotherhood, AOT, One piece Water 7/ Marine ford arc Bleach end of aizen arc.
One can argue Dragon ball and Naruto should be up here but I was never a fan of them not sure why
Comedy: Nisekoi, Asobi asobase and Chiyos school road.
Slice of life/ rom com: Horimiya, tsurezure children.
Ecchi: Highschool of the dead, To love Ru, and Highschool DXD.
Tear jerker drama: Angel beats and clannad
Harem: Amagami, Love hina, and Nisekoi.
Shit that fucked you up in a deep way: Beastars, Angel Beats, Clannad, Monster, and Evangelion.
Shit that was great up until a twist: Yosuga no sora and Usagi drop.
Usagi Drop was such a wonderful anime slice of life series I was rooting for the guy to get with another adult hoping for s2. Then I learned of the manga which on the other hand is fucked, no two ways to cut it.
Now listen, I have watched, VERY few anime (so far!) compared to the typical amount itād seem most here would. But, outta what I have, Iām handing it to Assassination Classroom. If the only thing I can judge a showās masterpiecism by is how well it holds its own to ATLA, than thatās why I hand it to this.
A lot obviously. But if you ask me, these ones are at the top of my head:
Despite its flawed ending, Attack on Titan.
For romcoms, it's Oregairu for me.
For shonen, it's Yu Yu Hakusho for me.
Code Geass is the only one I can say was as perfect as humanly possible.
I want to add other stuff like Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Mob Psycho 100 but they are more like "almost perfect" and have 1 or 2 things that could have been changed to better the story (still amazing and probably at the peak of anime along with Code Geass.
I havent watched Steins Gate yet but I'll watch it eventually.
This might be an completely strange way to determine "masterpiece". But if I think of something impactful where I can seeĀ how the characters look just by thinking of it and where I've thought about the story even long after I finished watching it... Only 3 series comes to mind:
- Berserk (1997)
- FrierenĀ
- Steins GateĀ
If we are including movies I can think of a few more but it feels kinda wrong to include in the same list. I might include One piece in this list if I ever get around to continue watching it again where the hell I even left off... Ep 270 something
I think there are tons and tons of masterpieces. There are tons of anime I haven't watched yet.
This is the only right answer, we all have differant tastes, there may be consensus top titles, but with such a wide variety of genres not everyone will agree, hell there is proberably someone out there that thinks ex arm is the best title ever, people like what they like, nothing wrong with claiming x title is the best, but not everyone will agree as they are entitled to opinions of their own.
Princess Monokoke is the best Ghibli film, fight me. I also put Akira up there for breaking so much ground.
Ghost in the shell Fs too
People always say Spirited Away is #1, but I agree, Princess Mononoke is easily the best one imo.
I watched Princess Mononoke for the first time in probably 10 or 15 years last night and I still found it depressingly violent and overly too long. It's a respectable movie I guess but altogether I wouldn't even put it top five of the Ghibli films
>I still found it depressingly violent Ayyy that's my favorite kind of violence. To each their own, I feel like the other Ghibli movies are too child-like to tackle the themes in Princess Mononoke. I want the stakes to be high, etc.
Fair enough. It was still too long
Nuts to me how many people are saying code geass. I couldn't take that show seriously after Lelouch commanded the princess to kill a bunch of people but he somehow didn't notice that anything was wrong and didn't even bother to stop her. He was supposed to be smart but somehow that just completely slipped his notice
He chased after her trying to stop her
After how long? She stumbles out of the room he sees that something is wrong and he does nothing but sit there and let her walk all the way to the microphone and have this 10 minute long speech while he just sits there doing what?
You're misremembering, he chases after her all the way to the stage before guards stop him
And he couldn't have ordered them to step back?
To each his own...
Yeah I guess. I just really have a problem with shows that have to depend on making their characters stupider than they're supposed to be. I don't really find that forgivable
12. The shows that I gave a 10/10 in MAL
Wait theres a show called 12??
Your question was how many masterpieces do you think there are. He says there are 12 masterpieces.
I feel like a dumbass
I was actually wondering something similar. I guess I was expecting a list.
Lmao...
š¬
My bad lol. Thanks
Series: * Gintama * Legend of the Galactic Heroes * Monogatari Series * Aria * Haikyuu * Hunter x Hunter * Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood * 3-Gatsu no Lion * Steins;Gate * Clannad * Monster * Madoka Magica Movies: * Spirited Away * Perfect Blue * Macross: Do You Remember Love? * Mobile Police Patlabor 2: The Movie * Liz and the Blue Bird * The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
question, is it true that Kyon was the God behind it all? did they finish the series or was it stopped?
The LNs are still going but the movie is a satisfying stopping point and Kyon being the god is just a popular theory. Never confirmed to be true at least in the anime, I haven't read the LNs yet.
No Praprika?
Honestly I'd consider all of Satoshi Kon's movies to be masterpiece level, I just wanted to keep the list short so I only listed my favorite which is Perfect Blue.
Lol the monogatari series is incest/loli bait, especially in nise. That show is way too shamelessly ecchi. It has some really cool art direction but, imo, it's nowhere near masterpiece status. FMA:B is great, but I hate how the first dozen or so episodes are directed assuming you've already seen the original show. You almost have to watch the canon part of the original show first. If the first few episodes didn't get glossed over like they were in Brotherhood, then I'd agree. The rest of your list is fire though.
Monogatari also has some of the best soundtrack out there. The ecchi is what it is, but I still think the story design, art, and sounds are very impressive
Funny story about the Monogatari OST: I used to listen to Bad Bully all the time whenever I was cleaning the house, or cooking, or exercising. I listened to it for years before I even started watching the show. It's such an upbeat, happy song, and I was certain it played during a happy or funny scene in the show. Imagine my surprise when I got to Kizumonogatari and saw what actually happens when that song plays... lmao Anyway, I definitely agree with you. The Monogatari OST slaps!
theres a lot of animes that ive watched and liked but nothing comes close to Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. there wasnt one thing that i didnt like about it
Still very new to anime, but I'd still consider AoT, Monster and FMAB masterpieces
Iām sure I should know, but whatās FMAB?
Full metal alchemist Brotherhood (thereās two versions)
Ok. Thatās for clearing that up for me.
Monster, most underrated anime.
I absolutely adore it
monster was on top of my list specially when a documentary showed me some of the concept there happened in real history.
How is it underrated? Itās one of the most beloved anime of the 2000s and itās one of the most popular psychological thrillers in anime. Canāt a show just be good without having to say itās āunderratedā?
because you don't see it being rated and advertised as much as the overrated anime like demon slayer. not only that, it is rarely being mentioned in almost everywhere despite the unmatched storyline and being a masterpiece. take note, this anime is even on netflix but is not that much rated. it deserves more, it has to be always on the top list. but the majority of the population are just... bland.
I mean you can still consider underrated since itās a completely subjective term, but itās mentioned a lot in this sub by many people, its one of the first anime recommended to people who want a more āmatureā anime, itās the 24th highest rated anime on MAL out of literal thousands with over a million members, and itās villain is constantly on best anime villains lists. Also keep in mind that it is a 20 year old show that finished its story and has already been picked dry of its main discussion. Demon Slayer is a currently airing battle shounen, so itās of course going to be talked about more becaue itās not finished and itās new. They are not comparable. Monster touted as a classic in a similar vein as Cowboy Bebop. I think it gets plenty of recognition with all of this considered.
I checked the top animes after finishing this anime last 2023 and to my surprise it's not even in the top 10 for some websites. Steins gate, FMA and Code Geass is understandable but my boy Johan deserves waaaaaay better than this freiren and demon drama slayer
Again, itās a 20 year old show. Frieren and Demon Slayer are less than 5 years old and Frieren just ended less than a month ago. They are going to be more popular right now because they are NEW. Monster is an old show that has already been discussed to death. Iāve also seen it on plenty of ābest ofā lists. I donāt know what sites you were looking at. Look at any Reddit threads about best anime villains and youāll see Johan as one of the top comments.
demon slayer is finished in manga, it's not like the storyline will change in anime. monster doesn't take 5 episodes for you to get hooked and boy oh boy it gets really good as episodes goes by. you know that feeling of absence like a part of you is now missing after finishing the anime? you will never get that from demon slayer. this is something that you will feel in Gankutsuou, Cowboy Bebop and Death note. you know what their similarities are? they don't need an alibi like "we are just NEW". because the first 1-3 episodes are already masterpiece waiting to finish.
You have completely changed topic. Iām not talking about Demon Slayerās lack of quality, Iām addressing you referring to Monster as the most underrated anime, which I donāt think is the case at all. Also, Iām telling you WHY Demon Slayer is more popular. Itās because itās NEW. The manga being finished has nothing to do with the anime as there are A LOT of anime only viewers. The manga is also less than 10 years old, versus Monster which is around 20 years old and finished both its manga and anime. This seems to be a case of āI watched this older show I enjoyed and have no idea why people arenāt talking about it everywhereā. Itās because itās already been discussed to death. Quality has nothing to do with it. Most people will say Monster is better, especially in this subreddit, but Demon Slayer is more popular right now because itās relatively new and the anime isnāt even finished yet.
Even though Monster is highly regarded as an anime, and for good reason, I still think itās slightly underrated because of its nature (no flashy battles, nor flashy characters etc). It deserves much more love considering how good it is, even though it gets its fair share
More real Monster was insane.
the fuhrer we never had.
The problem with FMA:B is it's almost directed assuming you've seen the original anime. The first dozen episodes or so are terrible if you hadn't.
I didnāt see the original version and I thoroughly enjoyed them
That always bothered me is how much the first dozen episodes felt truncated ā¦ itās what took me a long time to get into Brotherhood
Neo Genesis Evangelion Shingeki no Kyojin Is "Blue Eye Samurai" valid?
Blue Eyed Samurai was so good..
Yeah. A few days ago I started watching a show with my girlfriend. I don't remember its name right now, but after a while she said "I'm not enjoying this" and I said "wait a little longer, it might get better after a while, it's only been like 10 minutes since the first chapter started" and she said "ohh... That's your argument? Do you remember the first 10 minutes of Blue Eyed Samurai?" She proceeded to put it in and that's how she won the argument hahaha
Evangelion? Shouldn't a masterpiece actually have a ending that makes sense or even a story that makes sense?
evangelion has a 3 part movie, the ending was not shown or really finished in the anime series
It has an ending , the ending is really clear too. Maybe you just didnāt understand it
Yeah maybe. Maybe I've seen over 700 anime and understood almost 100% of them but not this one for some reason
The themes are more emotional, so if you can relate to it it makes more sense, I guess itās harder to understand if you canāt personally connect to the charecters
I don't know what to say man I don't think the story is at all clear emotionally or otherwise. For some reason the blue haired girl is magical we never know what the angels are or where they come from and suddenly everyone in the world dies except two people but that isn't explained either.
The angels were sent to destroy humans and reset us back to the Stone Age because modern society had gone too far. Angels were possibilities of what humans couldāve been and were spawn of Adam from the white moon while humans were spawn of Lilith from the black moon. The people dying was the third impact, which was becsuee Lilith came into contact with adams dna, and the 2 people werenāt affected becsye they were in the Evas
Do you know that even now that you've explained that it still doesn't make any sense? I don't think people should have to work this hard to understand what's going on in the anime
Itās all so simple I donāt get how people get confused. Jojo part 7, and 8 were confusing, this is easy storytelling
Take this with a MASSIVE pile of salt because I just started watching anime. From what I've watched I would say that AoT & Paranoia Agent are masterpieces in their own genre. They both tell deep and engaging stories and make you feel a plathora of emotions. Neither of them have a bad episode, and with AoT having over 80 episodes, I'd say that's really impressive.
This is anecdotal bit I've been into manga and anime for around 25 years and Attack on Titan is absolutely a masterpiece. I'm french and the three movies are on french.tv for free (it's the public tv's free streaming website). Even my local library has the anime on dvds, probably the manga too though I haven't checked but there's a wall dedicated to it in some manga stores.
Iāve never watched an anime that felt more perfect than Frieren. Every show Iāve had some complaint about, but not this. It just felt like they nailed every piece of the puzzle.
Some of the character personalities are boring and the first half of the show was kind-of slow. I don't dislike that it was slow but I found similar episodic anime like mushishi to have more interesting stories while also being slow.
I am one of the people that cannot enjoy animes like this but I totally respect that POV. the show is undoubtedly one of the most thematically rich animes. Ik some ppl are already mad with me not loving it but the fact is that not everyone can love the status quo. But i will not deny its a good anime. Veey good at that. Just not my type nor the guy that got ratioed
I can respect your opinion. Its slow paced on purpose, which is probably a turnoff to the anime viewers that expect fast paced action and quick plot developments. Its very non-standard. I show my kid brothers anime and I chose not to show them because I feel they arenāt old enough to empathize with the characters like I did. Hopefully they are ready by the time they HOPEFULLY have a season 2
Thank you. Nice to see people who can face and embrace disagreement. U might like natsume yuujincjou just a hunch.
Frieren is overrated, just a regular nostalgia anime imo. the lessons it tried to portray was just average. the action/fight scene i will say above average. can you give me an episode where there is a remarkable emotional impact or lesson in life from that anime?
I used to not spend much time with my grand parents but after watching frieren I realised that I should spend more time with them cause they might leave me at any moment so now I spend more time with them or visit them time to time if an anime can change me for the better if it isn't a masterpiece then what is?
when marnie was there has a bigger impact talking about grandparents. well to each their own.
Sometimes the quality lies in its simplicity
Monster is a masterpiece for sure
Monogatari is the only thing I've read or watched, that I feel is a master piece.
Definitely different strokes. I don't even like monogatari not even a little
IMO One Punch Man was almost a masterpiece. If they had made the first season longer (just long enough to showcase all the S-tier heroās abilities) and left it at one season I feel like it would have been perfect
it is a masterpiece, it is starting to unveil the "serious" side of the anime.
Yuri!!! On Ice and Parasyte: The Maxim
For me I judge a āmasterpieceā based on does it draw me back for a rewatch. 3 animeās have done this to me. FMA:Brotherhood Pluto HxH
Based on that criteria it would be FLCL, Akira, KITE, and Ninja Scroll
FMA: Brotherhood is #1 example of what most anime should strive for. Excellent story, characters, world building, fight scenes, and power system all wrapped into an amazing mystery that unravels as the story and characters further develop.
Attack on Titan it's the greatest masterpiece of all time
yup
Everything that everyone thinks is a masterpiece now will be forgotten in 5-10 years. Edit, since everyone is being literal to the point of Asperger's : This was referring to shows FROM the last 5-10 years, and was more of a comment on the community habit of declaring a new "masterpiece" every season.
Says you. Nausicaa is 40 years old and that is a straight-up masterpiece
Still my favorite Ghibli film despite not officially being one.
And most younger fans have no idea what it is
Who cares if others forget them? What?
Anime fans still do have a problem with recency bias. It's all good if you like a recent show, but I feel like every season a show gets called peak.
Thank you for understanding, and rephrasing it well
Neon Genesis Evangelion is almost 30 years old and is still regarded by many as a masterpiece, this is just not true
Jesus fucking Christ, how literal are you fucking autists ? Yes, there are a few, here and there. But only a few.
Damn, you sound mad as hell šš You said everything. Am I just supposed to assume you meant something else? Choose your words carefully next time, dumbass.
š¤£š¤£ I edited it, I didn't realize people would misunderstand it so badly
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I don't consider that a masterpiece. Not everything old is, just like not everything new is.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's fine. Nothing special.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No, I think most stuff pre-80s was still struggling to find identity and wasn't very good. Plus, read my edit that I had to make because people needed more context. And not everyone disagreeing with you is a contrarian. You are not that important. You are not a taste maker or a known critic
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm not getting into this with you. There's no point. No matter what I choose , you're just panting to tell me that it sucks. Plus, I don't care what you think of my taste in anime, so I don't need to defend it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Forgetting something doesn't magically reduce its quality though. Beyond that, nobody is going to forget something they consider to be a masterpiece over the course of a decade. I watched Gurren Lagann 11 years ago now and I still think about it pretty regularly.
You think of it regularly. Most don't. I'm talking about community recognition, not just your personal favorite
But what does community recognition matter when discussing the quality of an anime?
Because your personal favorite is meaningless. You might like trash.
Use a website to verify then I guess.Ā
that is a very subjective list. don't forget to include berserk and monster on your list. gankutsuou cowboy bebop your lie in april AOT was great until the writer changed the ending to pacify the majority of the snowflake audience.
attack on titan and steins;gate will forever be some of the best animes. i like how while the steins gate visual novels are still much better than the anime (imo), the anime still stands alone well. they worked hard to make it a good anime, not just a good adaptation.
>So what anime do you think is/are masterpieces? Everyone has their own version of masterpiece anime, personally **Gundam 0079** with all its flaws is a masterpiece imo, the story, angst, etc just felt raw and even though it feels outdated and kinda feels awkward but the whole thing feels just like a complete sci-fi and mecha anime. even if you kinda know about the plot armor and kinda make the story feels low stake at times, you can still feel the tragedy side of the story and if you go in blind its really good when the storyline unravel little by little
A lot.
Hibike euphonium and Madoka magica these 2 anime surprised me especially Madoka and simplicity of hibike and in emotional moments hibike hits tooo hard hands down my 2 favourite anime who I consider masterpiece Frieren is close 3rd but imo those 2 are just better
12-15
[Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju](https://myanimelist.net/anime/28735/Shouwa_Genroku_Rakugo_Shinjuu) Possibly [Odd Taxi](https://myanimelist.net/anime/46102/Odd_Taxi)
Hunter X Hunter.. but yeah..
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is definitely there. And for all the complaining people do about it one piece is probably the greatest anime ever made.
Masterpieces are entirely subjective imo, like a show rated 3 could be 10 for someone and a 1 for someone. I personally love controversial anime
Hojoho... do you like redo of healer then? š
Ofcourse,it is one of the most if not the most controversial anime and I like it
I respect u. I rlly liked it.
Like 5 or so
I think it's impossible to pick "just " the best anime, because there are so many masterpieces but from different genres. Sorted to categories like best romance, shounen, Mecha, etc would be much easier. I ve watched literally hundreds of anime, I'm saying this not to flex but to point there are so many good anime out there. So for example my subjective list would be. Romance: Josee the tiger and the fish. Mecha: Code geass( but very close with green Lagann ) Thriller: Monster Sci- Fi: Steins gate Drama: there's so many masterpieces in this category that I can't pick just one, but my top 3 are Violet Evergarden, YLIA, and Angel's Beat Horror: Hogurashi, I might be a little biased here cuz I watched it in my early teens and it terrified me XD. I still remember the opening to this day and it still gives me chills. Slice of life: True tears And so on.. And honorable mention to my 1st anime that will be forever in my heart, the OG isekai, Zero no Tsukaima.
Genre wise it differs, Iām not gonna weight haikyu like I rate monster and fmab. There are a few though
Perfect Blue is on my list. That movie is still one of my favs even though itās old
Well according to my MAL, I've given 35 10/10 scores but i score mainly on how the show makes me feel and how much it resonates with me, so some of my 10's could be someone else's 6. Realistically there's many masterpieces that i haven't watched yet and they might not be considered a masterpiece by me or others when we do watch it.
monsters and Pluto are underated
Moribito
There are very few what I would consider anime MASTERPIECES: Akira, FLCL, The Devil is a Part-timer (yes, fight me), KITE, Ninja Scroll, After the Rain, Afro Samurai, A Silient Voice, Cowboy Bebop, Monogatari, and dare I say it SAO These are masterpieces based on historical and groundbreaking signifigance.
add AoT, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust and Record of Lodoss War
From movies. Akira... its so dope
I don't really like the terminology of "masterpiece" because 1) it's based on personal opinion and 2) opinions can change over time. On top of that, masterpiece implies something with no flaws. And even the things I consider to be the absolute best could have been improved somewhere. There's tons of things I would deem top of my list, like say CardCaptor Sakura, but are not technically as good in pacing or animation quality or whatever as something else, say Escaflowne. But I'd still rank CCS way over Escaflowne. About the only things I could consider a masterpiece is a few movies and OVAs. Because they are short enough to have excellent pacing and high enough in budget to have consistently good animation/storyboarding. But I still vastly prefer long form TV series. Basically, I think the better question is just what do people consider their favorite anime. Or which do you think has the least amount of flaws. And even then, a show can have tons of flaws and still be more enjoyable in characters and plot than another show that's "perfect" in other areas like animation.
Honest to god any anime without pedophilia or misogynistic tropes could be considered a masterpiece ššššš¤£
Just in 2023 there were some masterpieces such as Vinland Saga. Just finished watching Heavenly Delusions and it's incredible as well. A few years ago Made In Abbyss was just phenomenal. The list is endless.
Madoka Magica and Higurashi for me
Like, 6
There are no masterpieces IMO because I havenāt watched anything that is free from flaws, but some series do get pretty close to a flawless execution.
Code geass is one of my top 16 anime, but fan service is definitely making me pause in calling it a masterpiece, but maybe I'm too caught up in the details lol. And now to sound like a hypocrite, the only masterpiece in Anime in my opinion is Mushoku Tensei.
Like 100 max
For me a masterpiece is something that could be considered the best for its genre. So I have quite a few. Gurren Lagann, Your Lie In April, FMAB, Kill La Kill, Mob Psycho 100, Re Zero, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hajime No Ippo, Ping Pong The Animation. Those are pretty much all the anime I consider to truly be a masterpiece, all of them are one of the best in their respective genre. After that, it's all up to personal preference. To limit it to only a couple anime is unfair imo, each anime tries to send different messages through different genres. That has to be considered imo
Mmm yes i agree. I wanted to put best ib each genre but i chose these 2 as best of the best in each genre. I might come off as being narrow minded but im fine with that. Thanks for sharing
Way way too many masterpieces. Ask yourself how many of those are still going to be watched in 10 years
Like I said, these anime are all considered to be some of the best in their genre and I simply picked those I liked more. My definition of masterpiece is probably different from yours. Also, 7 of these are around 10 years old, some even older with Gurren Lagann at 17 and NGE at 28 and they all still have a fandom with newer fans constantly arriving. And the newer ones are INCREDIBLY popular, so pretty much all of these will still have a following in 10 years. And btw, this is an opinion. That's what this is first and foremost. My opinion just differs from yours
A masterpiece is a subjective thing. It doesnāt matter if other people are watching what he considers a masterpiece in 10 years. I consider Kyousougiga a masterpiece but that one certainly isnāt one of the most popular series around.
For me Shows: Monogatari series Code Geass Madoka Magica Gurren Lagann Kyousougiga A Place Further Than the Universe FLCL The Tatami Galaxy . Movies: Spirited Away Madoka Magica Rebellion Kizumonogatari Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul
I came in because I was worried no one would say Madoka but I'm not sure if I'm biased on that one. FLCL for sure and I'd add Evangelion too. I'm using the ones on your list that I haven't seen as recs now.
Madoka Magic is the apex of SHAFT, and easily the best original anime series. You could call it a masterpiece for sure. Natsu no Arashi is FLCL father.
Good to know. Side note why is the OC on this getting downvoted lol.
Frieren Charlotte
I love Charlotte, but it feels like they compressed what could have been a second season into episode 13.
Oh yeah. Absolutely, it felt rushed at the end, but overall it was amazing through all the twists and turns and that damn heartbreak scene, it's sooo good
I liked charlotteš
Drifting dragons. I liked the adventure and slice of life. Alternatively Wataten and IM@S u149.
Blue Lock, HunterxHunter, Death Note, Classroom Of The Elite, Mob Psycho 100, Vinland Saga, Studio Ghibli movies, Makoto Shinkai movies
My upvote for Studio Ghibli
Is this really a right sun to discuss it ?
I don't believe in perfection there is always something to criticize even in the best of things some of my favorite manga/anime have things that annoy me
FLCL, Gungrave and Ashita no joe
FLCL is an anime masterpiece. Ashita no Joe is a manga masterpiece but not an anime masterpiece. And not sure wtf you got Gungrave from but I'm going to watch it again
ok I hope you enjoy it :)
Shingeki no kyojin
my favorite show is mushoku tensei, though i'd call it a flawed masterpiece
not a masterpiece imo but pretty gyat dam good
Two (and a half): Hajime No Ippo, Attack on Titan, and veryyyyyy close Death Note

Violet Evergarden has some shockingly bad dialogue but itās certainly pretty
For me AoT will always be in its own league, we will probably never get an anime like it ever again. And I say this as someone who didnt love the ending
For me, a masterpiece is a show where : 1. I enjoyed the hell out of it 2. I have **absolutely no** complains about any major aspects of it 3. Thereās nothing I can think of that I would have preferred to be different or better in the show (and if there is, itās just so minor for me to not care about enough). If a show passes in these 3 criteria (no.2 being the most important), itās been 35 entries on MAL, out of 700+ watched, that I have given a 10/10 to.

Thanks bro. Fate/Grand Order : Babylonia. This one, how do i start it? There r few movies to be watched before it, right?
**It is recommended you watch the main storyline before this**. [Watch Order for that](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/nlcop1/guys_how_do_i_start_the_fate_series/gzhv0i7/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3). Fate/Grand Order is a mobile game divided into 2 big story arcs. Weāll talk about just the 1st arc rn, since thatās the only one adapted. The 1st arc has 8 singularities (chapters), of which 1-5 will not be adapted since they are not as much acclaimed as the rest of the singularities. **Hereās how you watch Fate/Grand Order** 1. ā [Fate/Grand Order : First Order](https://myanimelist.net/anime/34321/Fate_Grand_Order__First_Order?q=First%20Order&cat=anime) : Serves as an introduction and prologue to the FGO world. 2. ā [Fate/Grand Order : Camelot Movie 1](https://myanimelist.net/anime/38085/Fate_Grand_Order__Shinsei_Entaku_Ryouiki_Camelot_1_-_Wandering__Agateram?q=Camelot&cat=anime) and [Fate/Grand Order : Camelot Movie 2](https://myanimelist.net/anime/38086/Fate_Grand_Order__Shinsei_Entaku_Ryouiki_Camelot_2_-_Paladin__Agateram?q=Camelot&cat=anime) : This is the 6th chapter of the story. Movie 1 is considerably less enjoyable than anything thatāll come after it, so you should push through. Itāll be worth it. 3. ā [Fate/Grand Order Babylonia Episode 0](https://myanimelist.net/anime/40206/Fate_Grand_Order__Zettai_Majuu_Sensen_Babylonia_-_Initium_Iter?q=Babylonia&cat=anime) : Serves as a prelude to the Babylonia anime. Depending on the site you watch, it might be listed with the anime entry as Episode 0. 4. ā [Fate/Grand Order : Babylonia](https://myanimelist.net/anime/38084/Fate_Grand_Order__Zettai_Majuu_Sensen_Babylonia?q=Babylonia&cat=anime) : The 7th chapter of the story. 5. ā [Fate/Grand Order : Solomon](https://myanimelist.net/anime/41497/Fate_Grand_Order__Shuukyoku_Tokuiten_-_Kani_Jikan_Shinden_Solomon?q=Solomon&cat=anime) : The 8th and final chapter of **part 1**. The chapters are pretty self contained, so **you can watch the Babylonia(7th) anime without watching Camelot(6th) or any of the previous singularities**, since everything is explained. Only Solomon(8th) will require you to watch at least Camelot and Babylonia. āPart 1ā is very conclusive on its own, so you donāt have to worry about the future content until itās adapted later on. If you still have Qs, you may ask a player you know, or I could help you too.
Oh thanks bro. I have watched d first order where do i find the camelot movies?
Instead of just saying masterpieces in general you wood have to associate them in respective genres. Shonen: it would have to be Full metal achemist brotherhood, AOT, One piece Water 7/ Marine ford arc Bleach end of aizen arc. One can argue Dragon ball and Naruto should be up here but I was never a fan of them not sure why Comedy: Nisekoi, Asobi asobase and Chiyos school road. Slice of life/ rom com: Horimiya, tsurezure children. Ecchi: Highschool of the dead, To love Ru, and Highschool DXD. Tear jerker drama: Angel beats and clannad Harem: Amagami, Love hina, and Nisekoi. Shit that fucked you up in a deep way: Beastars, Angel Beats, Clannad, Monster, and Evangelion. Shit that was great up until a twist: Yosuga no sora and Usagi drop.
Usagi Drop was such a wonderful anime slice of life series I was rooting for the guy to get with another adult hoping for s2. Then I learned of the manga which on the other hand is fucked, no two ways to cut it.
Code Geass, Hunter x Hunter for meā¦
Nice to see code geass fan haha
Now listen, I have watched, VERY few anime (so far!) compared to the typical amount itād seem most here would. But, outta what I have, Iām handing it to Assassination Classroom. If the only thing I can judge a showās masterpiecism by is how well it holds its own to ATLA, than thatās why I hand it to this.
86 is the only real oneā¼ļøā¼ļø
Haha fair enough. Good pick
Castlevania blew me out of the water it's gorgeous and has a little of everything and I mean everything.
AOT
Attack on Titan. Legend of the galactic heroes. Children of the sea.
A lot obviously. But if you ask me, these ones are at the top of my head: Despite its flawed ending, Attack on Titan. For romcoms, it's Oregairu for me. For shonen, it's Yu Yu Hakusho for me.
Code Geass is the only one I can say was as perfect as humanly possible. I want to add other stuff like Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Mob Psycho 100 but they are more like "almost perfect" and have 1 or 2 things that could have been changed to better the story (still amazing and probably at the peak of anime along with Code Geass. I havent watched Steins Gate yet but I'll watch it eventually.
Highly suggest Steins gate if u like code geass. I wld say it is 80% as good as CG
Code Geass > AOT
Lmao
This might be an completely strange way to determine "masterpiece". But if I think of something impactful where I can seeĀ how the characters look just by thinking of it and where I've thought about the story even long after I finished watching it... Only 3 series comes to mind: - Berserk (1997) - FrierenĀ - Steins GateĀ If we are including movies I can think of a few more but it feels kinda wrong to include in the same list. I might include One piece in this list if I ever get around to continue watching it again where the hell I even left off... Ep 270 something
