General Favorite Anime?

I've watched a lot of anime, I suppose I can make a top 10 (series only, not movies)...

Cowboy Bebop
Nichijou
Clannad
Monogatari (all of it, especially Second Season)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Baccano!
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!
Hachimitsu to Clover
Samurai Champloo
Detroit Metal City

They're not supposed to be in any order, but since that's the way I remembered them, maybe they are...

Well, my top rated animes in alphabetical order are
Anohana
Assassination Classroom
Clannad (After Story)
Food Wars
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Monogatari franchise
Nichijou
No Game No Life
Re:Zero
Steins;Gate
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
Your Name

With Madoka Magica being the clear winner.

Pretty good selection, I would just exclude Steins;Gate and Assassination Classroom from there (but granted, I dropped AC, so maybe it got better).
 
You know when all is said and done I haven't watched much anime. Truth is I haven't heard of most of the ones listed here and of the ones I have most of them were never interesting to me. I have seen One Piece but didn't really like it and wasn't fond of Dragonball Z. I have seen some Digimon but also not a favorite. My favorites would be;

Pokémon
Sailor Moon
Cardcaptors
Ah! My Goddess (or half saw it, would like to watch it in full some time)

I also recall an anime movie that involved a ship called Sol Bianca but I don't know what the name of the anime was because it was at like three in the morning or so and my brain wasn't working but I was too sick to sleep.
 
I guess while favorite is a hard thing for me to pin, these usually come to mind when I try to pick a favorite;

Jojo (part 7 animated never)
The Gundam franchise is one I love but 0083: Stardust Memory and Thunderbolt are probably my stand out favorites. (animated crossbone never)
Black Lagoon
Death Parade
Prison School. Probably my favorite comedy. It destroyed my sides and I want them to animate the rest of the manga
Tokyo Godfathers

Anything else I can think of I can't say are my favorites because I'm still watching it or it's been a long time since I've last watched it.
 
As a longtime Otaku I don't have top 10 with numbers but have a lot of favorite Anime. But just here I try to keep only 10 :)
All in random order.

Dragon Ball
Captain Tsubasa
Dr Slump
Pokemon
Gundam Wing, Gundam 00 [honestly all Gundam series]
Sword Art Online
Cowboy Bebop
Ranma 1/2
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
Ghost in the Shell

I could not stop and need to list a few more:
Guilty Crown, Black Lagoon, Naruto, Angel Beats, Blood-c, Eureka Seven, Chobits and more...

Also special place for all movies from Ghibli - must to watch :)

Hah! Bakugan, I remember that. I watched that show up until they started going to other dimensions and lost interest. I'm sure I have some of the toys around here.

Oh and the Manaphy movie is the best movie.
 
As Anime is the second best thing in the world (after Pokemon), I thought I'd make a thread asking what peoples favorite Anime is! I'll start off with my current top 10:

Tied for 1st: Shingeki no Kyojin and Sword Art Online
2nd: Deltora Quest
3rd: Black Butler
4th: Tokyo Ghoul
5th: Anything Hayao Miyazaki
6th: Cowboy Beebop
7th: Naruto
8th: Log Horizon
9th: One Punch Man
10th: Digimon
Sorry Pokemon :( your right there at 11th.

I'd love to see what Anime's rank at the top on other peoples lists!
One Punch Man, because I haven't watched very many anime.
So little in fact, here's a full list of anime I've watched:
- Pokémon
- Dragon Ball Z
- Dragon Ball GT
- Yu-Gi-Oh (The classic one)
- Overlord
- One Punch Man
- Attack On Titan
- Death note

I think that's it.
 
-Season 1 of Haruhi or the Movie (didn't care much for S2)
-Mo Game No Life
-Hitsugi no Chaika
-Cowboy Bebop
-Gosick
-Pokemon
-Shakugan no Shana
-others which i cant remember lol
 
-Season 1 of Haruhi or the Movie (didn't care much for S2)
-Mo Game No Life
-Hitsugi no Chaika
-Cowboy Bebop
-Gosick
-Pokemon
-Shakugan no Shana
-others which i cant remember lol

I found S1 of Hitsugi no Chaika was significantly more entertaining than S2. What do you think?
 
Along with Pokémon, I enjoy Your Lie in April (be prepared for tears), Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and Death Note.
 
Yeah Season 1 was definitely superior (I feel like that can be said about a lot of series)
I thought the ending of Season 2 felt very rushed

Honestly, I dropped S2 about half way through. I found it got boring, and trying to stay motivated to keep watching on a one-episode-a-week basis was too difficult.
