Top 5/ Top 10 Lists

I’ve honestly never thought of this before! (How have I not!?!) Well thanks for the ask so now I can finally think about it.

*Disclaimer* There are so many anime I haven’t watched. Here’s the a few of the big ones I haven’t seen: Naruto, One Piece, Boku no Hero Academia, Gurren Lagann, and a lot of others. 

#5: Baccano!

This anime is super underrated and deserves a lot more love. It’s very similar to durarara!! in that both show their story through different perspectives. For me Baccano was able to do it better, or could have just been the setting of the show. This anime had such a wide cast of characters and a compelling story. Please check this out if you haven’t! 

#4: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

This anime is honestly the anime closest to perfection in my opinion. The plot is amazing, the characters are amazing, the relationships are amazing, the setting is amazing, and so on and so forth. Pretty much this anime is too amazing for words. It’s not higher on the list because I never really had the itch to go back and watch it like I do for the others on the list. Its is still undoubtedly an amazing anime and I’m so glad my cousin showed it to me :)

#3: Kimi ni Todoke

I had to put one shoujo anime on here and Kimi ni Todoke takes the cake. This was the first shoujo anime I watched so it has a special place in my heart and thanks again to my cousin for showing me this gem too! The romance is just so innocent and pure and I loved how fluffy it made me feel.

#2: Samurai Champloo

I actually just recently watched this over the summer. I’m pretty sure I watched it in like 2 days because I loved it so much. The 3 main characters were absolutely amazing and I loved watching them interact. I do also like the style of the story in how the main plot is kinda in the background with the show focusing on their everyday shenanigans. The best part of the anime for me is the setting. I love how it’s set in the Edo period, it reminds me of Avatar which I also love. And I can’t forget the music. The music is absolutely amazing and it was really refreshing to hear something new like that. And and the animation is beautiful. 

#1: BLEACH

This, of course, is obvious but I don’t think I ever shared why I love Bleach so much. It wasn’t the first anime I watched but it was the first one that stuck with me. Bleach’s characters intrigued me so much and I loved the simplicity of the first arc. The relationships between the characters were deep and thought out and even though the pacing was slow at the beginning it ramped up in the soul society arc. The soul society arc was when Bleach became a special place in my heart. Ichigo’s determination to save Rukia was beautiful, and the soul reapers’ inner conflicts were amazingly written. Besides Bleach itself, it became such an important part of my life due to the timing it was introduced to me. I was really young like 8 years old when I watched it with my brothers. It became a way for us to bond and we’d love to watch it with each other. It’s so nice to see how so many years later I’m still in love with this series and it hasn’t been muddled down. So yeah bleach is my number 1 and will always be!

Thanks so much for this question! It was nice to finally write about my love for Bleach. Also check out the other anime if you haven’t seen them yet!
