The Anime Experience: Top 10 Favourite Anime List:

One Piece

Known this anime since May/June 2011, sort of a childhood show for me.
Even though I don't connect with modern One Piece as much as I connected with the first part of the series, it's still my #1 - the reasons being that it holds so much memories; the crew seemed like family to me, each character having their own uniqueness and personality; the mysteries still concern me because even after 800 manga chapters and 700 anime episodes, most of the main mysteries are still shrouded.

Yu Yu Hakusho & Code Geass (tied)

Both of these series' endings gave me feelings I'd never felt before; Yu Yu Hakusho's was a 'happily ever after' ending and Code Geass' was a very tragic, yet 'happily ever after' ending too, both of which made me have an 'existential crisis' but for anime series - as in, I really didn't know what to do or watch next.

Yu Yu Hakusho's OST is simply nostalgic, Code Geass' OST is simply epic.

Check out the openings for these two series.

Yu Yu Hakusho was epic for developing the characters very well - at first you'd think of Yusuke as a spoilt, perverted brat, but then as the series went on, you'd realise his private-life situation was a lot harder than most people's (manga readers especially know) and instead he was a decent person, albeit still a badass. Kuwabara at first seemed like a douche and a bully, but his character was later made into a soft person; Hiei was a villain at first, yet he somehow managed to become a good guy, much like Piccolo but mostly Vegeta (appearance-wise).

Code Geass was great in the sense that the story would go 'up and down', but the ending was definitely the best - at one point you're excited because everything would be all right soon, but then a sudden twist takes place and everything is ruined.
You see Lelouch start off a kid who matures, becomes evil, and then it turns out that he wasn't actually evil, having done everything for the one person in his life he'd cared for the most.
Seriously, go watch this series because that ending will not disappoint.

Dragon Ball

Seeing kid Goku grow up through thick and thin - his training, his tournaments, his transition from a wild child to a solo badass - was what made me love this series.
At the start of the series, he had to tap a person's 'crotch' to determine their gender.
At the end of the series he was married to a beautiful lady.

I'm currently at the end of Dragon Ball Z, got around 9 episodes left - when I'm finished, although they're not equals, I'd add Dragon Ball Z here as well.
Even though Dragon Ball Z is EPIC, it's not as good as Dragon Ball, in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong, most of the scenes in Dragon Ball Z were waay more epic than lots of scenes in Dragon Ball, but the comedy, calmness and peacefulness of the latter is why I prefer it.

EDIT: Finally completed Dragon Ball Z, I have to put it alongside Dragon Ball in my list, as in they're separate series but ultimately the same one. I'll keep the title the same. Now off to Dragon Ball GT and Super! Might watch the recent two films first, though, haha.

Attack On Titan

I was probably one of the first thousands of people outside of Japan to have watched Attack On Titan before it went full-on hyper - I started from episode 2, from memory. 

It was at one stage #1 in my list, but the high amounts of hype later on really 'shooed' me away from the series. 

But re-watching all of it a year later made it my #4.

It's one of the rare series which managed to put myself in Eren's shoes - I'm sure I couldn't hold back a tear, or control how angry I was, the many times I watched the first and second episodes.
It's not just those though, other scenes from other episodes as well are so intelligently put that they made me want to just ANNIHILATE ALL OF THE TITANS.


Tokyo Ghoul

Recently watched this back at the start of the Summer holidays - one of the themes of the series really connected with me, Kaneki really connected with me, and that was one reason it surpassed lots of the previous great anime series I'd watched.
The other was that it was the first anime series for a very long time, since I took a long break, to actually lead me to tearing up lool.

Kaneki's character development was magnificent - in the first season up to the last episode, he preferred to "be hurt rather than to hurt". But somehow his conciousness convinced him using someone else as a trigger to do the opposite of the said quote.

Seeing him cry in the first episode made me either tear up or be on the brink of tearing up, which was something special.

That last episode of the first season was truly epic, though. Watch it. Now.

Aoi No Exorcist

Watched this last year's Summer holidays and it was amazing back then. I really looked up to Rin as a role model both before and after watching the series since I'd read the first volume before.

Rin was such a cool protagonist, one that really grows on you. Truly epic.

Sword Art Online & Gantz (tied)

There's Kirito and then there's Kei. Two completely different characters.
One is a lone wolf, the other is a pathetic coward (at least early in the series).
While one stays badass, the other matures into a sort of hero.
The themes are almost similar in both anime.

Sword Art Online is great in that the main character is a badass, gets the girls and becomes a 'harem' show, yet still manages to be serious when it needs be.
Imagine being trapped in a game where death in-game means death in real-life, where the only way to win the game and to be free again is by reaching the final level and defeating its rigged-boss.

Gantz is epic because the main character is realistic, and it generally makes you feel like everything is hopeless at times. It's music-animation sync is so great that it can lead one to tears, even tears for a guy who starts off as a douche. Loads of people die, even lots of the main characters.

8. Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama

Back in the Summer holidays two years ago (2013), I watched episode one (or half of it) and really liked it. But I probably forgot to watch the rest of the series, or wasn't bothered to.
Then in last year's Summer holidays, I decided to watch all of it from episode 1 - it was amazing.

9. Death Note

Though the ending disappointed, I spent a few years of my childhood really interested in this series - I'd first seen an advertisement/'up next' of it in Film 4 (perhaps), years ago.

Then years later, probably late 2011/2012 at the recommendation of my brother, who was recommended by a friend, I picked up the first volume, read it, then the second volume, read it, and was amazed at the level of intelligence displayed by Light and L.

Finally I watched all of it in last year's Summer holidays, after watching half of episode one the Summer a year before that. Again, that ending disappointed.

Although the series progressed greatly, it's just the ending.

10. Berserk

One day when I grow up I'll definitely look back at this series and remember the scenes and memories associated with it.
Listening to the OST alone will have this effect on any watchers of this boss series.
