monster is hard to follow if u don't keep ur concentration up. wouldn't recommend watching it if u wanna watch something to chill
LevSco
around ep 25 through 45 it is very hard to push but SO MUCH PAY OFF! It has what might be the best monster of any fiction because it is so
LevSco

vennthrax
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. has one of the most amazing story arcs i have ever seen 10/10
Zwyciezyl
I'm having difficulty watching it, I loved the idea of the SAC, but, it also kinda makes me skip it for most of the time. I love the movies.
Kuroinoakuma
Having both seasons of SAC plus SSS (the movie) on DVD boxsets from Madman Ent - Totally fuken agree wit'ya mate!
Juanitapim
...point from there. Or dont! 71

Death Parade watch it.

It's really hard for me to get into it even though I've only watched one episode.
IAMCHAZZ
Keep with it gets better
yaboibaal
So glad you didn't put anything like SAO on here

Its not from 2000-2009 either way.

CoughSuppressant
i really really really tried to get into Monster. I just couldn't. Does it get better after episode 5?
LevSco
25 to 45 are hard but the pace after that is incredible train wreck of awesomeness.
DrDresDog
It's pretty good, think of it like a thriller. Plus the story gets much deeper later on.
Aeralys
It's an extremely slow burn, but it's worth it.
Crixnosis
I would say yes, but I can't guarantee you'd like it. Everyone is different.
flassk
top 10 according to who?
Aeralys
I provided a link to the source, everything is explained.
tardis63
Azumanga Daioh is a treasure, legitimately one of the funniest things
Mannus
Osaka is the shit.
tomhanksgetyourhandoutofthepicklejar
the summer episodes were probably the funniest, like when osaka walked sleepily around with a knife
MiniRaven525
Dude Haibane Renmei is one hell of a series. Like watching Serial Experiment Lain is just filled with questions answered by your perspective
Aeralys
It's much more accessible than SEL, they toned down the philosophical aspect for character interactions and developement, and it paid off.
Deathbunny600
+1 for Bakkano. Literally one of the best stories I have ever seen.
terithian
I really wish they would make more seasons adapting the later books. Might be tough though, since they messed up adapting Volume 4.
Deathbunny600
They probably didn't want it to be to long or they only had enough money to do a certain amount of episodes so they tried fit in a lot.
terithian
Yeah, you're probably right. It's just a shame they only put in the boring parts of volume 4, and cut out all the good parts.

Honey and Clover man... I learned more about life from that shit than just about anything in my life.
uummma
true dat
cosine83
Man, when I saw while it was being subbed there were so many saying it was crap. Now people are like OMG IT'S AWESOME!
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
When you watch something like that a little at a time it generally seems worse. Best to binge stories.
cosine83
It's still in my top 10 anime of all time. It was definitely something different from the normal slice of life animes of the time.
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Oh most definitely. It was a unique experience. Not breathtaking or really remarkable but an intense experience nonetheless.
heroftoday
But why full metal alchemist? I've tried several times. It's just terrible. What am I missing?
iDrinkDrano
What'd you dislike about it?
DrunkSnowWhite
Why the fuck are people downvoting the "what did you dislike about it" replies? It's a simple question, not something to get pissy over
SmellyPotatoMan
Watched both start to finish. It's just overall a mediocre series. Like, the MCs never really lose & the plot was interesting 1/2
SmellyPotatoMan
But it wasn't a OMG plot. I enjoyed it, but it's not in my top 10. 2/2
avidatheist
They lost more fights than they won.
lizardbones
That really depends on what you consider a loss
avidatheist
Almost every fight Ed&Al won were because they had a lot of backup, and even then they lost quite a few.
FilthyRedmond
Bro where's Steins;gate
rollipukki
Its great series but 13 episode long prologue before anything starts, just to throw memes and anime jokes is bit too much to be perfect.
OneFroToRuleThemAll
Love me some Steins;Gate. Even named myself after it
ThisWasATriumph
That was 2011, not last decade.
FilthyRedmond
OBJECTION! A decade is ten years and 2011 falls way after 2016!!
FilthyRedmond
*after 2006
ThisWasATriumph
The title states he meant 2000-2009.
FilthyRedmond
...details, details
iDrinkDrano
Not his personal list. Shows that right in the post.
Wolfinator
Steins;gate still deserves to be on any top 10 anime list. It is absolutely excellent.
iDrinkDrano
Right, but... it's after 2009.
Wolfinator
So it is. I thought the last decade would be, y'know, the past 10 years. Guess I was wrong.
iDrinkDrano
It's weirdly worded, yeah. I think it means previous decade rather than recent ten in this case.
FilthyRedmond
Still, it's gud
iDrinkDrano
Sure, but it doesn't belong on the post.

Did not expect to see Haibane Renmei as #1

Aeralys
It's a rather slow and gentle series (at first at least). But it's incredibly beautiful, definitely not for everyone though.
Ziemssen
Miria look! We appear to be on the top of animated television show list!
booksandcomicbooks
How wonderful Isaac! We must be the stars of the show!
Grandshift
indeed, for once a decent list.
WeShareTheSameSpace
It didn't get more than a season right? I liked it regardless.
Aeralys
Not it didn't, the ending is already perfect as it is. :)
Aeralys
That doesn't surprise me, that anime is out of this world and criminally underrated on MyAnimeList.
frozenpie22
It is very much my favorite
frozendairybeverage
It's also based off of a Haruki Murakami book, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and The ENd of the World.
Aeralys
The setting is, but the two are very different in their execution. Both should be enjoyed by everyone.
Counterfit
MAL ratings aren't really regarded as being a good indicator. I'd go with AniDB instead.
Kappa043
Is it as good as ABe's other stuff? I really enjoyed Lain.
sweatytelemarketer
I think it's his best work.
Kappa043
Well, it has a high bar to reach if it wants to beat Lain, but...
sweatytelemarketer
I like it because it has very likable characters and it's incredibly immersive.
Kappa043
I'm totally gonna watch it, yeah.
vanderdeckenman
mu mutha fuckin shi shi my dudes. watch that shit please gotammn
themaskedhobo
I want soooooo much more 2 seasons wasn't enough!
Aeralys
It has 3 seasons, 2 OVAs and a short movie.
LePiggy
Im about 6-7 episodes in but just can't get into it. It's ok but story just feels like its progressing like a glacier.
NiceLegsDaisyDukesMakesAMAAANOUTOFYOOOUUUU
And if you like that I suggest Ayakashi (Bakeneko) and Mononoke. They're trippier, but damn good.
Anticlere
Mononoke is more intense than Mushishi, but still so fuckin good
tablecat
I've been putting it off for several years now. I just want to watch it while it's snowing and cold outside, while I'm wrapped in blankets.
SmellyPotatoMan
There's an episode exactly like that about a frozen village and a boy who falls in the lake. Fuggin recommend it.
vanderdeckenman
theres like 5 episodes based around snow and theyre all fabtastic
Aeralys
I really recommend this series, watch 1 or 2 episodes before going to sleep. Subtle, calm, atmospheric vignettes full of meanings. Great.
Ebayjebany
Ah, this is what I like do and Mushishi was absolutely the best at this. It's hard to keep it at just 1-2 eps when there's exciting plot.
bakaboing
I normally like action or comedy series, but Mushishi is so good that it makes my top 3 of all time list.

There's no compelling reason to watch the first Fullmetal Alchemist series over Brotherhood unless one wants a hasty, poor ending instead.
dejadrew
Shut the fuck up
TheoLu
What a well thought out argument. Kudos to you.
dejadrew
wasn't an argument
ImNotCreativeEnoughForAGoodUsername
I'm going to upvote then downvote then upvote because I can't give more than one upvote
ThymeForALeek
Yes! I watched the original first and HATED the ending. I was so happy to learn about Brotherhood later on.
ILikeBreakingPots
The original anime had way better character writing, giving you many more emotions ties to characters. Brotherhood is a much better story.
FilthyRedmond
Dante was the worst main villain in anything ever
KittStargazer
It's good to watch the first section of it, which is fairly identical in Brotherhood but speed up.
DamianWinters
If you like Fullmetal alchemist then watching both is good.
Jiigen
The first series is definitely one of the better anime series with actually interesting character developments. Didn't watch the 2nd one.
PCMustardRace
Brotherhood was better for overall plot, but non-brotherhood had a ton more development for side characters, imo. I like to mix them.
yapyapblahblahdribbledribbledribble
Disagree, the 1st series gives more detail for the first arcs while Brotherhood rushes through them because the first series already did it.
yapyapblahblahdribbledribbledribble
While rewatching Brotherhood blows past the Nina & Shane story in like one episode. 1st series focuses more on it since they had time.
JustLikeAMetaphor
What if you like more than ten seconds of seriousness without cutting to comic relief gags over goofy chibi animation?
thepu55ydestr0yr
I actually think the 1st one was better because it was actually more complex, serious, and felt people were more human. 1/2
thepu55ydestr0yr
Even the humunculi seemed human in their own sense. Brotherhood was seemed lame afterwords because it was a generic shonen. To me, it 1.5/2
thepu55ydestr0yr
Was a step backwards. The story went from a plot that would provoke you to think about things that reflected to real life to 1.75/2
thepu55ydestr0yr
Simply stopping the big bad guy. Then a Dues ex machina saves Edward from having to make any real sacrifices or face any consequences.
iDrinkDrano
Puffin: I disliked Brotherhood cause it seemed like it had more chibi and used them at important dramatic moments.
breadedfishstrip
Oh hey another guy. I tried FMA:B a bunch of times but just couldnt get past the chibi. Love OPM/Mob psycho and the classics tho
iDrinkDrano
It's nice to not be alone. I don't rip on someone who enjoyed brotherhood but I can't stand a lot of the cutesy anime tropes.
OrionKaelin
I like it because of the redemption Lust gets and the take on the brothers teacherskid being Wrath was interesting too.
LegoK9
Expect that time Brotherhood had a character "return" even though they were only in the 2003 series...
Slidth
I think the explanation for how Homonculi are made is much more interesting in the first. And raises the emotional stakes.
jadespider
I dunno, I liked the reveal and explanation at the end of the original. I also liked brotherhood. Both where great.
CanadasSolutionToHostileEngagements
I own both series on Blu-ray now because they both were there for me at different times in my life
jadespider
the best part is, if you like one, but you're sad because you finished it, good news. You can watch it again but slightly different and new!
DreadPiratePoptart
this individual/or hive mind (never assume) gets it
TechnicalDrift
I agree, the only people who tend to actively hate the orig. anime are snobs because "It wasn't like the manga".
SayoKel
I don't hate thee original, but I liked Brotherhood better.
TechnicalDrift
And I don't hate brotherhood, but I liked the original better. And nothing bad happened and everyone promised to be cool about it.
TheoLu
Except I watched the entirety of the first series over a decade ago, never read the manga and watched the new one a few months ago.
TechnicalDrift
But do you actively hate it?
TheoLu
I actively recommend people skip it (avert it) over watching the second series alone. Aversion can be seen as 'hatred', so sure, I 'hate' it
TheoLu
So my opinion has nothing to do with the manga and everything to do with the two different series.
DreadPiratePoptart
My rule a thumb is if ya a casual viewer and only gunna watch one, go with brotherhood, but if you just like good anime in general ynotboth
pikmints
Well if you wanted to watch them both, it's much harder to go from Brotherhood to the original than the other way around.
magamilk
I disagree. I will maintain until the day I die that the first anime is better than the manga and brotherhood by leaps and bounds.
Flubna
Well, apparently the first one had better character relations. They say you should watch the original up to the fifth lab then switch over.
BourbonBuck
Yeah. Watched the first and then couldn't get into brotherhood. It was almost too much action that they ignored their human social functions
FillerNameToFillTheBox
FMAB rushed through the first 13 episodes to get to the point where the original deviated.
LoveAtFirstAwkwardMoment
Hats exactly how I feel. The original felt like a human story with alchemy whereas brotherhood was all action and effects with little flavor
seratraxalyn
Or decent animation >< (will readily admit the story is better on Brotherhood, though)
Sairvous
I thought they were both great in their own ways.
senefen
Watch both, get more FMA!
howaboutnothankyouverymuch
VINCENT MIGNOGNA PREFERS THE ORIGINAL OVER BROTHERHOOD THERE ARE DOZENS OF US
LoveAtFirstAwkwardMoment
The original had better characterization
gottakeepgoing
I liked the first one more and everyone I've told disagrees with me.
TheoLu
The bit I saw of Brotherhood while it was still airing didn't compel me to watch it. Years later I finally did, ended up liking it more pers
Galtenoble
I was obsessed with the first anime when I watched it, but I just could not get into the second one.
