Now Now, don't be deterred if your paborito pamagat isn't going to be in the list, it's okay you'll discover some pretty cool anime that you might not have seen before.
Honorable mentions:
Bakemonogatari: I loved how they created this anime, it had such a unique sense, it's own particular style, which was really interesting, however it seemed to turn into a tagahanga service harem faster than Wally West on steroids. I don't know, some of you might like that sort of thing but for me it ruined the anime.
Shiki: What can I say, terrible ending.
Free!: This anime was pretty cool, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it as it was not a very ambitious anime, blatant tagahanga service from a female point of view but I didn't really notice.
Sword art online: The longer it went on the worse it got. I enjoyed the first season.
Bleach: After the Aizen arc...things got pretty boring, but I guess thats me and my opinion. But I think Aizen has been the coolest villain in that series yet.
Zankyou No Terror/ Terror in resonance: Was decent. I liked it, but doesn't quite make the tuktok 20.
Soul eater: Fun, awesome and cool, too bad I've got so many other anime similar to this in the list. worth a read, I think the anime ran out of money so they ended it differently.
Now to begin the list.
20:Kuroko No basket.
Rating: 8.4
Feels Rating: 8.6
Ability rating:8.2/
paborito character: Kise Ryota
paborito quote: "The only one who can beat me is me" -Aomine Daiki
The Good: This anime is epic despite being about basket ball and not fighting or killing it still manages to be engaging and entertaining. It is also humorous and funny, this is illustrated through awkward moments and interactions between the characters, which, in a similar way to "Free!" makes the characters somewhat grow on you.
The Bad: sometimes this series takes itself too seriously, this isn't much of an issue for me, madami of a laughing point though, they have names for each other, like "Iron puso Kiyoshi" and he is one of the "Uncrowned Kings". This just seems a little over-the-top to me as I play a load of sport for clubs and school and I don't have any names or know of any one, even the really great players, who have such nicknames, If it were pro sport I would understand it a little better but here it just seems a little too much. However I don't think that it is a huge problem and I don't actually mind it that much but it is a little OTT. Other than that there aren't actually "bad points" as this anime doesn't have much of a story to it to begin with.
The weird: I guess I should acknowledge those weird nicknames and such as players have near impossible physical abilities and one even has(Spoiler alert)the Sharingan(Spoiler alert). so yeah these over-powered physical abilities are strange but I think they make the ipakita all the madami interesting.
19: One Piece
Rating: 8.5/10
Feels Rating: 8.9
Ability rating: 9
paborito character: Sanji
paborito quote: "A man's dream will never die!"
-Blackbeard
The good: Okay so this series is really funny but at the same time serious too. I like that when I first looked at One Piece I thought the Protagonist's ability was slightly lame, however, I was proven wrong as he used it in awesome ways to defeat his opponents and get closer to becoming the king of the pirates!
The bad: In the same vein as Fairy tail, this is what I don't like about One piece "Nakama Nakama Nakama"
-Pretty much every good guy.
The ugly: Blackbeard
18: Ao No Exorcist/Blue Exorcist
Rating: 8.6
Feels Rating: 8.8
ability rating: 8.8
paborito character: Rin Okumura
paborito Quote: "Im going to become an exorcist, and kick satans ass!" -Rin Okumura.
The good: Similar to one piece in terms of an air of comedy however things can get serious too, I think Rin being able to transform into Demon mode was pretty damn bad ass. The story is really entertaining though and has been nothing but fun to read.
The bad: Rin takes after many characters, the main character with a special power, but they're weak and need to get stronger, also have super strong family members.
The weird:I had no idea this manga started so late! like 2009? thats so new! I thought it was old...weird.
17: Guilty Crown
Rating: 8.6
Feels rating: 9
Ability rating: 9
paborito Character: Mana Ouma
paborito Quote: "You might be able to do it if you try, but if you don't try, you definitely can't"
The good: This anime has great imagery, and good character designing as well, they all looked good, the sound track was actually pretty nice as well, I would say that this was definitely decent. The power system, the "void" I thought this was really fresh, how Shu was able to pull out peoples puso manifestation and use it as a tool. Its an interesting ability. I honestly felt the story line was very interesting also there was a hint of comedy. I liked how they did the romance in this story as well it was great.
The bad: similar to sword art online, although there was great imagery, while the story line was passable it was nothing amazing and the episodes got repetitive, it was a little too reliant on its imagery. I felt it needed madami guts.
the weird: *SPOILER ALERT* incest?*SPOILER ALERT*
16: Hamatora
Rating: 8.7
paborito character: Nice
paborito quote: "I just think we're missing out if we're not trying different things and having fun, life is too short. -Birthday
The good: I don't think I've seen madami of a complete story, this had an inch perfect story line that left no gaps or holes and for me was the closest thing to a perfect story line that I have seen, the minimum powers aren't exactly original but they are still interesting as the concept of "clearing conditions to use a power" always is. a good laugh also.
The bad: This story was far too (Dare I say it) Nice. There were so many painstaking situations and tear jerking moments or could have been tear jerking moments however this story was too nice and didn't kill off characters when it could have, and if it did, if it was madami ruthless, it would've been a lot higher on my list, the way in which they could have killed characters but didn't would've been so tragic but in that way amazing.
The Animation: was weird.
15: Samurai Champloo
Rating: 8.7
paborito character: Mugen
paborito quote(s): "You'll do anything to get on my nerves won't you?" - Mugen "That's my line" -Jin
The Good: A team building story, where you pag-ibig and learn about the main characters Jin, Mugen and Fu. Its a great adventure where the pasts of each character is delved into and explored, furious blade battles, along with being really close to each other without saying nakama a thousand times, this is what I like about this anime, the characters silently care about each other and in that way it makes it a lot madami powerful when they stand up for each other, the relationship between jin and mugen is one of the greatest relationships of all time.
The bad: While it was a great adventure, they often ran into side plots that would span 2-3 episodes, the problem was that was never enough time to pag-ibig the new characters that would inevitably die, and the fuu cries and you're left there thinking "well...who gives a shit, jin and mugen are badass "
The weird: I cant remember which episode...but there's a really really weird one a few episodes before the end...like brace yourself...its weird..
12: Durarara!!
Rating: 8.7
paborito character: Masaomi Kida
paborito quote; "IIIIIIZAAAAAYAAAAAA-KUUUUUUUN"
-Heiwajima Shizuo
The good: A great story with awesome plots and also how it is able to bring in many many characters and make them all relevant (unlike Shiki) There was a really good setting in the first episode, establishing Hierarchies, friends, foes and the in between, the revelations and development are worth waiting for, pangkalahatang good story.
The bad: If Im honest I dont have a lot of bad to say about this, I would originally say that I thought it was a bit of a lame finish, but then I found out there was a segundo season...so...yeah so far, I dont have any Buto to pick with this anime.
Fun fact: Mikado season one was worse than Kaneki season one.
13: Fate/Zero
Rating: 8.8
paborito character: Kiritsugu
paborito quote: "Mongrels" -Gilgamesh
The good: The first 12 episodes were like a cuddly teddy madala in comparison to the final 12, it was amazing how ruthless it became when it came down to it, and the characters started to kill each other off, seeing the background of character Kiritsugu was also one of the best parts of the story. I think that this story was great because of the ruthlessness and the ideals shown in it.
The bad: It seemed to capitulate at the end, like an anti-climax, although I think this might be because it was prequel, that's what made the ending so weird and strange.
Most sinabi word: Chivalry chivalry chivalry~
12:Parasyte: The Maxim
Rating: 8.8
paborito Character: Shinichi
Favourite quote: "Shiniiichii"
-Migi.
The good: this anime was pretty good, it was another case of the main character being halfway between a human eater and a human and choosing to fight for humanity, I found that the relationship between shinichi and Migi was nice and could grow on you, there was also lots of blood and gore in this anime if thats what you're into, it had a decent sound track and the power of parasytes is really cool and interesting despite the fact that it looks disgusting to start off with, it can take some getting used to.
The bad: seemed to chug along in a similar fashion to guilty crown, not really going anywhere, there were flashes of potential but the story seemed to go off on its own route and became very strange, the ending is unspeakable, pretty bad and I was hoping for madami from it, along with that, I felt that this anime didn't make any of the characters special to you, except for shinichi, so when characters started dying it never mattered because they weren't of any significance to you, also you couldnt help but feel that they deserved it as most characters in this story had an IQ similar to that of a potato.
The weird: I've always wondered why it was spelled Parasyte, as a pose to parasite.
11: Darker than black.
Rating: 8.8
paborito character: Hei
paborito quote: "The light of our hearts is even darker than black"
The good: A bad asno main character, an emotionless girl, a grumpy old man, a talking cat, whats not to love? no but seriously, I liked how Lee/Hei was explored as a character, the story line in the first season was exceptional and done extremely well.
The bad: The segundo season, in my opinion ruined it, I felt like the first season should have been the end, as it was done so well. The segundo season was average in comparison to the great first season.
The weird: Hei is so good at cracking the ladies he cracks a robot.
10: Naruto.
Rating: 8.9
paborito character: Kakashi.
paborito quote: "You could kill all the people that ever mattered to me, but I'm afraid, they've already all been killed" -Kakashi Hatake.
The good: One of the coolest powers! Jutsu! along side that there is so much about Naruto that is cool, the lame loser kid that is determined to get stronger, that is a cliche now in main characters, though in Naruto it was pulled off in the right way so that it wasn't lame. The rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke was always refreshing and cool, and so many other anime have attempted at a similar effect. Naruto was my first ever look into the japanese stories and it made me want to see more. I feel like this text should be a classic.
The bad: I think this story became too popular for its own good, so many people liked it that it became something of a "lame anime" for otaku hipsters, and so a sort of negative effect came into play where Naruto became a "trash anime" with no substance.
The weird: I can't believe its finally over...
9: Anohana
Rating: 8.9
paborito character: Jintan
paborito quote; "Thanks for today, Tomorrow I''ll go to heaven, please be my friends, until the very end" -Menma.
The good: 11 episodes of fun, 11 episodes of sadness and well, this anime is probably the only feels based anime I have seen but it was totally worth it, it completely got me from start to finish, a perfect ending and a great build up also, this is one of the best anime I have ever seen, in terms of it almost making me cry, and when it comes to crying over stuff like this Im pretty hard headed, even if something is sad I don't ever cry over it or even come close, but anohana brought me right there, almost about to cry, but I managed to hold out. But I consider this as a classic.
The bad: It almost made me cry ;w; that's like never happened.
The weird: I've never known the popularity level of this anime.
8: Tokyo Ghoul
Rating: 8.9
paborito character: Kaneki Ken
paborito quote: "Never kick me when I'm down, because when I get up, you're fucked"
-Kaneki Ken.
The Good: The badass of 2014 Kaneki Ken, but no one expected it, the biggest coward up until the end of the first season. The change was beautiful and the lead up to it was even greater, the torture he had to endure and in the end he overcame his inner demons and became stronger. The plot line is interesting and intense, the story carries a sense of brutality about it which makes you like it madami though.
The bad: Touka takes a turn for the worst as she suffers from sakura syndrome and becomes a weak, loser who depends on others. such a fall from grace. big disappointment.
The ugly: Sakura's forehead
7: Full metal alchemist
Rating:9
paborito character: Roy.
paborito quote: "A lesson without pain is meaningless"
-Edward
The good: just all round awesome....with a cool main character to boot, a bit on the short side but hey.
The bad: probably the art is the only thing that I felt was bad but absolutely everything else was perf.
the weird: Its crazy how she goes from fma to silver spoon...
6: Dragon Ball Z
Rating: 9
paborito character: Gohan
paborito quote: "you can take control of my mind and my body, but what you can never take from a saiyan...Is his pride!"
-Vegeta
The good: This is an absolute classic, if you haven't heard of this one you're in trouble. This was a ipakita that if you watched it now and hadn't heard of it, you wold probably think it was terrible, but for its time Dragon Ballz was goku, the Saiyan boy who became the greatest warrior to exist, similar to the cases of Naruto, Ichigo and Luffy, but he came before all of them so Goku is the true original.
The bad: Animation is terrible, obviously due to the fact that it is dated though. long pauses, 30 minutos of Kamehameha.
Weird: I was talking to a friend recently and he sinabi that through out the story Goku and Vegeta almost switch personalities, the family man and the warrior, and in the end Goku becomes the warrior that always wants to fight and Vegeta is the family man.
5:Psycho Pass
Rating: 9.1
paborito character: Akane Tsunemori
paborito quote: "I think the only time people really have value, is when they act according to their own will"
-Shogo Makishima.
The good: Intense Story lines and plots, brutal scenes and one of the best villains in anime. This stories plot made it great, and the way in which it was executed, in a dark, brutal fashion.
The bad: The ending of season 2 was a bit of a let down, while the rest of season 2 was great, though not as good as season one, its ending was...not that good. It was at times overbearing and over the top.
Funny fact: It's not that funny.
4: Attack on Titan.
Rating: 9.1
paborito Character: Jean Kirstein.
paborito quote: "Willpower alone isn't enough in battle"
-Armin
The good: This story is animated well, has super interesting powers and an air of mystery to it, while it is a hardcore action there are still things to figure and find out, still revelations to be made in this story, so far a great watch, suspenseful and enjoyable.
The bad: This is an anime which is getting too much attention and now people are starting to think its not cool anymore or it's "overrated". These things can happen.
Just a note: If the segundo season doesn't follow the same vein as the first, in terms of being raw and effective while also being a great action, then the rating will probably go down heavily.
3: Death Note
Rating: 9.3
paborito character: Light.
paborito quote: "Kira is childish and hates losing, I'm also childish and hate losing"
-L
The good: Suspenseful thriller with a maniac for a main character, drawn to perfection and the fact that hes an anti-hero is completed when he kills you know who. This story is without a doubt a classic and a must see or read for anyone who has even heard the word anime, it deserves all the praise it gets, it's one of the best of all time.
The bad: This could sometimes become boring as L and Light are almost the same person, Immoral sociopaths with one goal in hand, proving superiority.
Fun fact: light yagami
2: Code Geass
Rating:9.3
paborito character: Lelouch
paborito quote: "The world will change, I will change it"
-Lelouch
The good: The ending was done to perfection, when it all comes to together, a good build up and a good finish, its so much better than a disappointing end.
The bad: Didn't go far enough into the origins of the Geass.
The weird: the art style was strange...I think in a bad way?
1: Cowboy Bebop
Rating: 9.5
paborito character: Spike
paborito quote: "Bang"
-Spike Spiegel
The good: The best adventure, it is enjoyable to see that in this anime, it goes back into the story of each of the main characters, and during their adventure, similar to in Samurai Champloo, it is all about creating relationships. This aspect of it is the best as you really do get attached to the crew, its funny, its powerful, and when all is sinabi and done its said, In my opinion the greatest anime of all time, and if not than certainly one of the greatest, and if you haven't already seen it, go watch it!
The bad: Similar again to samurai champloo, theres only room for the main characters but side characters are brought in in 2-3 episode doses and they die in these, but you really don't care as long as the mains are safe.
The weird: The ipakita quite literally, goes out with a bang.
