Top Ten Anime
Subject to change whenever, for any reason. For example, as of Nov. 20, 2009, I moved Samurai Champloo into 3rd, After I had previously taken it off the top ten for about 2 months. Pretty much any show on this page could be anywhere, and the entire purpose of even having a top ten is defeated and irrelevant.
1. Inuyasha
2. Welcome to the N.H.K.
3. Samurai Champloo
4. Deathnote
5. Black Lagoon
6. Shakugan no Shana
7. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
8. Hayate no Gotoku!
9. Mai HiME
10. Detroit Metal City

These may not nessecarily be the most well written anime out there, but I enjoyed these the most, so take it or leave it.
How about you?

Full Metal Alchemist and Elfen Lied are very good anime shows, but I don’t think they’re in my top l0. Death Note started off good, but I got distracted away from the series, so now I have to start from episode 1 again. I definitely agree with you on number 1, Inuyasha rocks!
I believe that FMA will be completely replaced with the new FMA series….whenever that ends…..Why the fuck is Elfen Lied still in my top ten? I must have forgot to edit that, because I took it off a while ago…
There is one spot in Deathnote it kind of gets a little boring, but then a GIGANTIC BAM EXPLODES AND MAKES YOU PUMP YOU FIST AND EXCLAIM, “HOLY FUCKING SHIT!” No one seems to give Deathnote it’s props….ok now I need to update this top ten.
Oh yea….INUYASHA RULES!
Tis fixed.
I just started watching Welcome to the NHK, and I gotta say, I love it. Nice choice there man
YES! Welcome to the N.H.K. is awesome. Also, Code Geass at least deserves an asterisk.
I didn’t give it one? It used to be in my Top Ten, so it should have one.
Number 5: Hayate no Gotoku!Mai Hime
Number 6: Mai Hime
Thanks, I have fixed said error.
you didn’t watch much as I can see…
