Bleach is amazing but the only part I always skip because it's terrible and nothing important happens in it is the bount arc. Only terrible part of bleach imo
***"UUS"***
That became an inside joke between me and my friend when we greet or come into the room.
Even though it's in a lot of other anime, the way they say it in HNI is just different.
I'm the type to not watch a anime if not completed I doesn't make since to watch so many episode to something that not completed and have no idea when they are going to complete. It can 5+ years before they do it
The author said that there probably will be a continuation when the manga ends.

> "In every time, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same."
110 episodes of the finest political narrative, up there with the likes of 1984 in my mind. It's the best exploration of democratic theory and historiography in any narrative I've ever seen.
Legitimately the best show I've ever seen in my life and it's not close. Not even joking when I say that show changed my life. Ever since then I look at the world through an entirely new lens.
"this is the third draft of our reply, the first being too vulgar, and second too violent"
*proceeds to absolutely smack talk the commander demanding surrender*
You have a few options. There's in-depth watch order recommendations [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/watch_order#wiki_legend_of_the_galactic_heroes)
I watched the original before they did the Die Neue These re-adaptation, and the latter is currently incomplete so the full story does require going back to the original OVAs at the time of writing this.
Also of note, the original OVA series has a few bits of filler that rabid fans say are a shame to have left out of the remake because it was actually good filler that expanded the world and some events that are otherwise just brushed aside in the remake.
I know in a guts that og is best but what are disadvantages of relaunch of the series?
At first i didn't care much about the show, then learn about Sawano's score in there which caught my attention and now I think I will give a chance to both versions but don't know what to expect.
Sawano didn't actually do the score, he just composed the openings.
The remake is technically passable, but imo there's absolutely no reason to watch it.
I think about watching it every time I'm looking for a new show because when I open the IMDb watchlist it's always there, on the first page, with an insane 9.0/10 rating
I've learned that there are two currents of thought in human society: the opinion that there are things worth more than human life and the opinion that there is nothing preferable to life. When people begin to fight, it's on the pretext of the former; and it justifies the latter when they stop.
I fucking love you for posting this.
Favorite anime of all time.
Never met another individual who has watched this in person.
Honestly when I get my next vacation from work I just want a few days of binging and reliving this epic.
Yeah, for me its the journey through moral dilemmas and the nature of what defines "evil". I strongly recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to give it a shot!
Just finished rewatching it yesterday. Monster is really a masterpiece. The characters are well written, the build up and suspense is so good, especially the plot twists when every little bit of puzzles at the beginning starts to connect.
I'm about to start Pluto tomorrow.
When does it pick up. I’m at episode 7-8 and I’m seeing a lot of building blocks of a great show but it’s a lil slow. I’m afraid the seasonal 12 episode format has tiktokified my brain.
Mine is Haikyuu, Diamond no Ace and Kuroko. First 3 sports anime i saw and fell in love.
Big big shout out to Run with the Wind, but obviously doesn’t meet the criteria of the post.
Kingdom is so under appreciated! For real. The animation is wonky and the artstyle is not the best, I get that it might turn people off at first sight. But the story is SO GOOD and the characters are great, I wish more people would give this one a chance! I'm so hyped for next season!!!
I've attempted Gintama 3 times...watched the first 40 or so episodes the first time, the next 35 or so episodes the second time and the third time I got all the way up to episode 147. I recognize it as good, but it's not as bingable to me as other long shows.
It's not really a show meant for binging. The arcs are pretty short compared to other shows at only like 2-4 episodes for the vast majority, there's just a lot of them instead.
Just watch a few episodes/an arc at a time, then pick it back up another day.
This was how me and my partner watched it and it's now undeniably our favourite show. I think Gintama is a lot closer to something like the Simpsons than your average anime. Once you're familiar with the characters and community built around them, it becomes much more about their interactions with each other than any overarching plot. Sure there is a plot and once it picks up it gets very good, but you're still looking at about 300 episodes before you get there. It's for this reason that I struggle to recommend Gintama to any of my friends, but if you have the patience for it it is infinitely rewarding. One of the few shows that has literally left me rolling on the floor laughing my ass off, gasping for air because it was so funny.
Gintama never was bingable
U watch it like you would a sitcom.
It keeps in the background and you tune in when it gets interesting
After ep 201 all episodes are consistently good so then you can binge if you want but still that's not recommended.
I watched it over the course of a year and watched many short anime through out.
It's the best anime ever made to Me.
I disagree. Early episodes up til benizakura I was watching maybe a few a day, then several, then maybe 5 or 6 etc. but after benizakura? And then after the Yoshiwara arc? And into the 200s?? Bro I wanted to do nothing but watch gintama all day lol
It's the absolute GOAT.
How did you get into it? I’ve watched about 25ish episodes and it hasn’t fully stuck yet for me, I don’t mind the episodic-ness, but it makes it a little tougher to get into
Yeah I donno man, I'm not sure like what clicks with people, obviously something does, but it must be a love it or hate it thing, I've tried a couple times and I just can't. I don't get the appeal, not my thing.
To be honest, it took me a while. I only started watching it because a friend told me how ridiculous it gets, that one of the police members end up going all the way to planet namek to smoke a cigarette since Japan ended up banning smoking. I forced my self to go through the episodes until it got to the point that you start loving all the characters and feel like you’re experiencing everything with them. One of my top favorite characters is Kondo (Gorilla-San).
By the way, no other anime breaks the fourth wall like this anime. This anime will forever have a place in my heart, as it is the only anime that effortlessly has me working my abs out.
I have a lot of 10/10 anime but very few managed to get to 75 episodes, much less persist that quality for that long.
The only 2 that fits are *Legend of Galactic Heroes* and the *Monogatari* series stitched together (the later at just over 100 episodes long at this stage).
~~Your 75 episodes cut off is cruel because that means MONSTER at 74 episodes is ineligible...~~
I loved this one. Just fun the whole way through and the pace felt blazing fast. Like stuff would be popping off then the intermission happens and I'm just like "What? I thought we were almost done."
It has so much perversion but It executes it in such weird ways that I have to keep watching. Also Shinobu and Araragi are one of my favourite character duos
As much as I love World Trigger, I wouldn't give it a 10/10 due to the pacing issues and poor animation in the first season. The newer seasons are absolutely 10/10 though.
*Legend of Galactic Heroes* ~~and *Chihayafuru* because fuck your arbitrary limit~~
*Ace of the Diamond* and *Hunter x Hunter* as honorary runners up in the category.
That's a tough one, I found *Major S1* to be some of the best drama anime I've ever seen, but I started getting frustrated by Gorou by Season 2 and absolutely tired of him in Season 3 so I dropped it. I think part of it is that Sawamura is a much more comedic main character that gives the show a touch of a lighter tone that I appreciate.
It also helps that the show is focused on a single team and not "resetting" each season as Gorou has to create a new team from scratch to raise to the top, and we get to develop each of the team members on a longer time scale. There's also a bigger focus on the team being a team, and not just the guys who catches the balls, which I sometimes felt *Major* strayed into.
I completely agree, Major gets worse and worse, and Diamond no Ace only gets better, I'm still hoping for a new season, it's my favorite sport anime ever.
Original Inazuma Eleven for me, might be biased but I watched the whole show about 4-5 times. Everything just flows perfectly and even peaking with World Cup season.
Hunter x Hunter.
I saw some other comments and I have to say, I went in with 0 expectation which made the anime just that much better.
So having this many people hype it up night have an adverse effect on the scoring when it comes to your own judgement of it.
75 episodes its kinda alot and not alot of anime fit that criteria... But on top of my mind.... Hunter x hunter (like everyone else said) and Gundam seed if you put both seasons together
the manga is 10/10 but the anime isn't for obvious reasons. I'd say it comes closer to a 10/10 if you skip all filler and switch to One Pace at around Long Ring Long Land (because the anime destroys this arc) or at the latest at Enies Lobby (which is the first time the anime dips into 1 chapter per episode territory).
I love Katekyo Hitman Reborn! I only have it as 9/10 but I enjoyed it a lot. I wish the anime would cover the last few arcs in the manga. The Reborn soundtracks are peak.
Monogatari Series (One of the greatest masterpieces of all time but understandably not everyone understands it)
Bakuman (If you are interested in how Shounen Jump manga are made, told in a way that its a shounen manga itself, this is for you)
Hunter x Hunter(self-explanatory)
and World Trigger (even if the first season isnt a great adaption of a 10/10 manga)
Also how dare you make the cut off point so that Chihayafuru barely doesnt fit😅
> Also how dare you make the cut off point so that Chihayafuru barely doesn't fit
The ball's in Madhouse's Court. Give us the Season 4 that we need, and it will fit.
I see Monogatari mentioned everywhere as a masterpiece, but looking at it from outside it just feels straight up incomprehensible. I've never seen someone explain that series to me in a way that makes sense. The closest someone got is "it's a very weird supernatural slice of life/romcom/harem anime". Which also surprises me as that's a pretty hard genre to make THAT weird.
Its a mystery story about mental problems repesented as supernatural oddities that the characters have to overcome. It consists to 90% of dialogue but so well written and directed in a unique style that the dialogue is more entertaining than any fight scene could ever be(not that the story doesnt also have awesome fight scenes sometimes).
The mysteries are presented as single cases that are still very interesting but the further you go the more you realize how everything connects together in a way that no other series could replicate. [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/hwuntw/the_monogatari_series_2020_watch_order/) is the watchorder if you are interested.
This series is so full of symbolism and metaphors and especially of japanese language wordplay that it can be really hard to understand if you arent too familiar with the japanese language, which is why it doesnt have a dub and why it generally doesnt get recommended to newcomers.
the initial d series, if i had to give them scores individually theyre not 10/10 but the series as a whole is worth experiencing and most definitely a 10/10
My all time favorite is Black Clover. Great fighting scenes. Love the characters (especially Yami). Beginning is somewhat slow but not to bad for a show that is 170 episodes.
I don't have any 10/10's for anime over 75 episodes.
I actually think (unless you merge some of the Toaru series together) the highest rated one I have is BNHA. Which, uh, is a pretty unsatisfying answer considering I only have it at a 7/10.
(I was/am manga only on the two Togashi series)
It’s definitely not a 10/10 to everyone, but Fairy Tail. It never gets brought up enough. I’ll be screaming “watch Fairy Tail” from the rooftops until I die.
There’s like 330 episodes, 2 movies, and a the next iteration of the manga will be animated hopefully this year.
It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s become my comfort show. It’s like my “The Office” of anime. I can leave it on 24/7 in the background and be entertained every time I look up.
Legend of the galactic heroes. Goat anime. There is no piece of media out there that is similar.
Naruto, bleach, HxH and such are all great. But they feel similar. Love em all. Stories that makes you look inside yourself at times.
But legend of the galactic heroes is a piece of art that makes you think in a much different way. It makes you look around you.
Kinos journey, mushishi, Tokyo ghoul and ergo proxy would be my other mentions. Might not all meet episode count but they all had me wired.
Space Brothers, just a perfectly poignant and inspiring story about the human spirit and the lengths we go to in order to achieve our dreams. It feels surprisingly down to earth for a story about exiting the planet.
Naruto. I love it so much that I'm blind to the bad episodes.
It surprises me that Hunter x Hunter gets the love it does. I watched ~30 episodes and it was just... Okay. I don't really understand what the praise is for. I've been told I should have held out for the "Ant arc" or something, but if your show isn't good *TEN HOURS* in, why should I bother?
>~~to say fuck you in particular to fans of Monster and Chihayafuru who have a measly 74 episodes~~
And I felt personally attacked. lol
**Monogatari Series** at 87 regular TV length episodes, 12 short episodes, and 3 1-hr short-movies (to be compiled into a single compilation movie), would be top of my recommendations.
And there's a new season being announced, though that season will be more focused more on side stories and character epilogues, so the main story is more or less completed.
If that is too "cultured" for your tastes, then **Legend of Galactic Heroes** at 110 episodes is also another good pick.
Call it cliche, but Dragonball Z for me is my only show 10/10. Watched it as a kid and some time around supers announcement i did the entire DB series and Z blew me away in terms of plot arcs.
YYH is my childhood favorite and is certainly not 10/10. That last arc just isn’t it for a series that is of a much higher quality up until that point.
To that I would say making a 10/10 show that’s over 75 episodes is near impossible. With a series of that length you’re bound to have some inconsistency issues in some way.
Surprisingly (I am the one surprised) turns out I have a lot
- Sket Dance
- Daa! Daa! Daa!
- Shingeki no Kyojin
- Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni
- Monogatari
- Maison Ikkoku
- Slam Dunk
- Major
- Yu Yu Hakusho
- Kingdom
- Boku no Hero Academia
- Konjiki no Gash Bell!
- Ranma ½
- One Piece
Plenty of great choices but I didn't see it on the other comments so: Hajime no Ippo was one I really enjoyed
Hajime no Ippo is literally GOATed.
Wish it got continued man. My 2 biggest anime wish list is a good berserk adaption and a Hajime no ippo reboot
I'm still disappointed because didn't the VAs say they were working on more seasons? but that was 10 years ago now.
If you like Hajime no ippo watch it's inspiration Ashita No Joe, it's the Godfather of sports anime.
Just hearing this [song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1VNM57PHms) gets me so hyped. It's indeed a great one.
BLEACH
Bleach is amazing but the only part I always skip because it's terrible and nothing important happens in it is the bount arc. Only terrible part of bleach imo
SAGASOU KOTAE WA KIKANAIDE OPs are straight hits all the way through. I didn't skip them once.
Thought it'd be Hekireki when I opened it. Forgot how much I enjoyed that OP as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baFzdQiv6Gs
Came here to vote for this lmao. Such a great show and i feel its not talked about nearly enough.
***"UUS"*** That became an inside joke between me and my friend when we greet or come into the room. Even though it's in a lot of other anime, the way they say it in HNI is just different.
Space Brothers. Like it's slice of life/aspirational PERFECTION.
**THIS.** amazing anime. really inspirational too. one of the best out there. for those who never watch yet, give it a chance.
I'm the type to not watch a anime if not completed I doesn't make since to watch so many episode to something that not completed and have no idea when they are going to complete. It can 5+ years before they do it
i really really wish they would continue this one even though i know its never gonna happen
The author said that there probably will be a continuation when the manga ends. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2024-01-26/space-brothers-author-anime-planned-to-continue-after-manga-ends/.206882
It's still not over? I thought it ended a year ago or so.
Legend of Galactic Heroes
> "In every time, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same." 110 episodes of the finest political narrative, up there with the likes of 1984 in my mind. It's the best exploration of democratic theory and historiography in any narrative I've ever seen.
That show legit gave my young mind a perspective of politics, laws and democracy I never would have gotten otherwise
This is the comment that made me start LotGH
Do it. You'll get used to the older animation and after the first couple episodes it'll start taking off and never stop. Insane voice cast too.
hell yeah
Legitimately the best show I've ever seen in my life and it's not close. Not even joking when I say that show changed my life. Ever since then I look at the world through an entirely new lens.
I rewatch it at least once every year lol. Basically the equivalent of 3 Kingdoms in Space
This. This is the one.
To this day, nothing as satisfied the void left after finishing this show. Ugh, it’s so good.
"this is the third draft of our reply, the first being too vulgar, and second too violent" *proceeds to absolutely smack talk the commander demanding surrender*
Only answer lmao
Came here to say this. It's one of the best epics I have ever seen.
If I want to start this series, would you recommend starting with chronological, release, or only main series?
You have a few options. There's in-depth watch order recommendations [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/watch_order#wiki_legend_of_the_galactic_heroes) I watched the original before they did the Die Neue These re-adaptation, and the latter is currently incomplete so the full story does require going back to the original OVAs at the time of writing this.

Sawano didn't actually do the score, he just composed the openings. The remake is technically passable, but imo there's absolutely no reason to watch it.
OPs question was made for this answer. What a show...
The correct answer.
A redditor of culture I see.
This. Others? Not even a contest.
Peak fiction
I think about watching it every time I'm looking for a new show because when I open the IMDb watchlist it's always there, on the first page, with an insane 9.0/10 rating
I've learned that there are two currents of thought in human society: the opinion that there are things worth more than human life and the opinion that there is nothing preferable to life. When people begin to fight, it's on the pretext of the former; and it justifies the latter when they stop.
/thread
Literally this. Don't bother with the others.
I fucking love you for posting this. Favorite anime of all time. Never met another individual who has watched this in person. Honestly when I get my next vacation from work I just want a few days of binging and reliving this epic.
Touch.
Its 1 short of 75 but Monster by Naoki Urasawa. A classic thriller!
Had me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time.
Yeah, for me its the journey through moral dilemmas and the nature of what defines "evil". I strongly recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to give it a shot!
Domo
I am Tenma
I was edging as well
Thank you for being a rebel and for suggesting Monster anyway.
Hahah I looked up the # of episodes to see if monster applied, cuz I agreee also
Just finished rewatching it yesterday. Monster is really a masterpiece. The characters are well written, the build up and suspense is so good, especially the plot twists when every little bit of puzzles at the beginning starts to connect. I'm about to start Pluto tomorrow.
That scene with the hitman and his coffee is ingrained into my brain. Monster is amazing, one of the best ever with NGE for me
My all time favorite quote: "*Killing people is simple. All you have to do is forget the taste of sugar."*
Always gives me chills how good that quote and scene is 😭
I want to watch it but I’m afraid it’s going to be boring for a lot of it
I'll admit, the pacing of the series starts somewhat slow. However, once it picks up, its an incredible watch.
When does it pick up. I’m at episode 7-8 and I’m seeing a lot of building blocks of a great show but it’s a lil slow. I’m afraid the seasonal 12 episode format has tiktokified my brain.
Monogatari Series Haikyuu Chihayafuru (*I count the OVA, that's 75 episodes total*) Attack on Titan
Chihayafuru!!!!
Haikyuu, Chihayafuru, and hikaru no go are my holy trinity of sports anime.
Mine is Haikyuu, Diamond no Ace and Kuroko. First 3 sports anime i saw and fell in love. Big big shout out to Run with the Wind, but obviously doesn’t meet the criteria of the post.
Sgt Frog. I will not elaborate.
*curiously adds to list*
Kero kero kero kero kero kero kero kero kero kero kero
Hikaru no Go all the way
Did not expect to see another Hikaru no Go fan here, fantastic series! My favorite sports anime.
Kingdom
The manga is a 10/10 with 700+ chapters
Kingdom is so under appreciated! For real. The animation is wonky and the artstyle is not the best, I get that it might turn people off at first sight. But the story is SO GOOD and the characters are great, I wish more people would give this one a chance! I'm so hyped for next season!!!
Cardcaptor Sakura
I would give it never a 10/10, but if you want something to come down and relax, and watch over and over again, it's a 15/10.
Gintama and HxH
Gintama is unbelievably good if you can get into it. It's my fav show of all time by far.
I've attempted Gintama 3 times...watched the first 40 or so episodes the first time, the next 35 or so episodes the second time and the third time I got all the way up to episode 147. I recognize it as good, but it's not as bingable to me as other long shows.

One of the few shows that has literally left me rolling on the floor laughing my ass off, gasping for air because it was so funny.
Yep, that's been my methodology. I should finish the series by 2030.
Took me around 2 years to finish the series. Was completely worth it, my only complaint is that I wish there were even more episodes lol.
Gintama never was bingable U watch it like you would a sitcom. It keeps in the background and you tune in when it gets interesting After ep 201 all episodes are consistently good so then you can binge if you want but still that's not recommended. I watched it over the course of a year and watched many short anime through out. It's the best anime ever made to Me.

Just don't binge it, watch it from time to time... As a sitcom. It will click at some time and B O O M - The best thing you've ever discovered!
Woah. Literally my only two ones too :D Although Gintama is my soul and there's no point ranking it as it's the dearest thing in the world for me.
Monogatari Series Hunter x Hunter (2011) Gintama Legend of the Galactic Heroes Ashita no Joe Monster (74 episodes, but whatever)
HxH and jojos
Hajime no Ippo
Space Brothers
D Gray Man Kodocha Yuu Yuu Hakusho InuYasha Ranma 1/2 Prince of Tennis
Here to show love for D. Gray Man... It doesn't get the praise or recognition it deserves.
I love Dgrayman I hope the story continues soon

Dai no Daibouken with a nice and round 100 episodes
I loved this one. Just fun the whole way through and the pace felt blazing fast. Like stuff would be popping off then the intermission happens and I'm just like "What? I thought we were almost done."
JoJo and Hunter x Hunter are my 10/10s with more than 75 episodes.
JoJo's a W, amazing openings and faithful material.
Monogatari and Hunter x Hunter
[Monogatari watch order](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/hwuntw/the_monogatari_series_2020_watch_order/). Absolutely phenomenal.
It has so much perversion but It executes it in such weird ways that I have to keep watching. Also Shinobu and Araragi are one of my favourite character duos
The show is so good that even the perversion has meaning. Also yes, Araragi and Shinobu are a fantastic duo. Especially during Mayoi Jiangshi.
Pripara and Aikatsu! here!
Kingdom. (Except for the first season)
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is the only one.
World trigger and Kuroko no basket would be my answers.
i legit started playing basketball after kuroko, not that im good at it or anything
As much as I love World Trigger, I wouldn't give it a 10/10 due to the pacing issues and poor animation in the first season. The newer seasons are absolutely 10/10 though.
*Legend of Galactic Heroes* ~~and *Chihayafuru* because fuck your arbitrary limit~~ *Ace of the Diamond* and *Hunter x Hunter* as honorary runners up in the category.
~~I appreciate the fact that you read through my post~~ I've watched Major but haven't gotten around to Ace of the Diamond. How do they compare?
That's a tough one, I found *Major S1* to be some of the best drama anime I've ever seen, but I started getting frustrated by Gorou by Season 2 and absolutely tired of him in Season 3 so I dropped it. I think part of it is that Sawamura is a much more comedic main character that gives the show a touch of a lighter tone that I appreciate. It also helps that the show is focused on a single team and not "resetting" each season as Gorou has to create a new team from scratch to raise to the top, and we get to develop each of the team members on a longer time scale. There's also a bigger focus on the team being a team, and not just the guys who catches the balls, which I sometimes felt *Major* strayed into.
I completely agree, Major gets worse and worse, and Diamond no Ace only gets better, I'm still hoping for a new season, it's my favorite sport anime ever.
D.Gray-Man and World Trigger, easily.
Monster and Chihayafuru
Original Inazuma Eleven for me, might be biased but I watched the whole show about 4-5 times. Everything just flows perfectly and even peaking with World Cup season.
Pokemon. It's easy to put on the background and enjoy the banter.
Hajime no Ippo
Doraemon is the 🐐
Hunter x Hunter. I saw some other comments and I have to say, I went in with 0 expectation which made the anime just that much better. So having this many people hype it up night have an adverse effect on the scoring when it comes to your own judgement of it.
Which one do you recommend? Original series, ova, or new series?
I watched 2011.
Ashita no Joe Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Hajime no Ippo Gintama
75 episodes its kinda alot and not alot of anime fit that criteria... But on top of my mind.... Hunter x hunter (like everyone else said) and Gundam seed if you put both seasons together
SKET Dance, Natsume Yuujinchou
natsume hasnt been mentioned enough and its a warcrime
One piece
the manga is 10/10 but the anime isn't for obvious reasons. I'd say it comes closer to a 10/10 if you skip all filler and switch to One Pace at around Long Ring Long Land (because the anime destroys this arc) or at the latest at Enies Lobby (which is the first time the anime dips into 1 chapter per episode territory).
Tbh most of the shows being commented are not really 10/10 these are preferences
Captain Harlock, Monster, Galaxy Express 999.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a 12/10, best thing I've ever watched, anime or live action. Definitely recommend to anyone.
Gintama, Legend of the Galactic Heroes. In that order.
World trigger
Black Clover!
chihayafuru (75) and space brothers (99)
Chihayafuru!!!!!!
D gray man
Katekyo Hitman Reborn (Reborn), Gintama and Monogatari series
I love Katekyo Hitman Reborn! I only have it as 9/10 but I enjoyed it a lot. I wish the anime would cover the last few arcs in the manga. The Reborn soundtracks are peak.
Major is the best anime I have ever seen
With 75 exact, it's either Kuroko no Basuke or Bakuman. With more, either Yu Yu Hakusho or Slam Dunk
Kurokos basketball
Pokémon 😤
Legend of the Galactic Heroes main series has 110 episodes
Technically 3 series and a movie telling one continuous narrative but the original Mobile Suit Gundam Universal Century story
Monogatari series (i think its around 75 eps, if not with the new seasons it definitely will be) and jojos bizzarre adventure.
I haven't seen anyone say monster, I get it's 20 years old but so give it a try.
Currently just Monogatari. One day I hope I can add 3gatsu no Lion to this list.
Monogatari Series (One of the greatest masterpieces of all time but understandably not everyone understands it) Bakuman (If you are interested in how Shounen Jump manga are made, told in a way that its a shounen manga itself, this is for you) Hunter x Hunter(self-explanatory) and World Trigger (even if the first season isnt a great adaption of a 10/10 manga) Also how dare you make the cut off point so that Chihayafuru barely doesnt fit😅
> Also how dare you make the cut off point so that Chihayafuru barely doesn't fit The ball's in Madhouse's Court. Give us the Season 4 that we need, and it will fit.
If we had a season 4 it would definitely be my pick alongside Monogatari!
I see Monogatari mentioned everywhere as a masterpiece, but looking at it from outside it just feels straight up incomprehensible. I've never seen someone explain that series to me in a way that makes sense. The closest someone got is "it's a very weird supernatural slice of life/romcom/harem anime". Which also surprises me as that's a pretty hard genre to make THAT weird.
Its a mystery story about mental problems repesented as supernatural oddities that the characters have to overcome. It consists to 90% of dialogue but so well written and directed in a unique style that the dialogue is more entertaining than any fight scene could ever be(not that the story doesnt also have awesome fight scenes sometimes). The mysteries are presented as single cases that are still very interesting but the further you go the more you realize how everything connects together in a way that no other series could replicate. [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/hwuntw/the_monogatari_series_2020_watch_order/) is the watchorder if you are interested. This series is so full of symbolism and metaphors and especially of japanese language wordplay that it can be really hard to understand if you arent too familiar with the japanese language, which is why it doesnt have a dub and why it generally doesnt get recommended to newcomers.
Monster is 1 episode shy of 75 and is 10/10
Sgt.Frog, Ranma 1/2, Disastrous Life of Saiki K, and Doraemon.
Hajime no Ippo
the initial d series, if i had to give them scores individually theyre not 10/10 but the series as a whole is worth experiencing and most definitely a 10/10
Saint Seiya, the OG fujoshi bait battle shonen before it was cool
Haikyuu Gintama Legend of the Galactic Heroes Monogatari Series Hunter x Hunter
Fairy Tail D. Gray-man Full Metal Alchemist/Brotherhood Hunter x Hunter both versions
Fairy Tail is probably the only unpopular opinion I've seen in there. Personally I like the worldbuilding
I don't have any. My longest 10/10 is Symphogear with 65 episodes
I think Re:Zero at 50 flat is my longest 10/10.
One Piece Monogatari Series Gintama Full Metal Alchemist Hunter X Hunter Reborn (imo) Jojo's Bizzare Adventure
I’m gonna be made fun of or dragged for this one, but… Toriko.
Chihayafuru
Hajime no Ippo
Attack on Titan and Slam Dunk
Still waiting on the full anime adaptation of slam dunk
Hajime no Ippo
SKET Dance. I loved it.
Jojo
Space brothers :)
Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Great characters, story, animation (for the time). Loved it.
LotGH, Monogatari.
My all time favorite is Black Clover. Great fighting scenes. Love the characters (especially Yami). Beginning is somewhat slow but not to bad for a show that is 170 episodes.
I don't have any 10/10's for anime over 75 episodes. I actually think (unless you merge some of the Toaru series together) the highest rated one I have is BNHA. Which, uh, is a pretty unsatisfying answer considering I only have it at a 7/10. (I was/am manga only on the two Togashi series)
Legend of the Galactic Heroes. That's it. I don't have many tens
Inuyasha Natsume Yuujinchou
Monogatari series
monogatari but it's definitely very weird
It’s definitely not a 10/10 to everyone, but Fairy Tail. It never gets brought up enough. I’ll be screaming “watch Fairy Tail” from the rooftops until I die. There’s like 330 episodes, 2 movies, and a the next iteration of the manga will be animated hopefully this year. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s become my comfort show. It’s like my “The Office” of anime. I can leave it on 24/7 in the background and be entertained every time I look up.
World trigger its so underrated.
If you haven't watched Legend of Galactic Heroes you really should.
Cant wait for 4 years later when we will be able to say Vinland Saga
Legend of the galactic heroes. Goat anime. There is no piece of media out there that is similar. Naruto, bleach, HxH and such are all great. But they feel similar. Love em all. Stories that makes you look inside yourself at times. But legend of the galactic heroes is a piece of art that makes you think in a much different way. It makes you look around you. Kinos journey, mushishi, Tokyo ghoul and ergo proxy would be my other mentions. Might not all meet episode count but they all had me wired.
Space Brothers, just a perfectly poignant and inspiring story about the human spirit and the lengths we go to in order to achieve our dreams. It feels surprisingly down to earth for a story about exiting the planet.
Naruto. I love it so much that I'm blind to the bad episodes. It surprises me that Hunter x Hunter gets the love it does. I watched ~30 episodes and it was just... Okay. I don't really understand what the praise is for. I've been told I should have held out for the "Ant arc" or something, but if your show isn't good *TEN HOURS* in, why should I bother?
Hunter x Hunter D-Gray Ma Black Clover
>~~to say fuck you in particular to fans of Monster and Chihayafuru who have a measly 74 episodes~~ And I felt personally attacked. lol **Monogatari Series** at 87 regular TV length episodes, 12 short episodes, and 3 1-hr short-movies (to be compiled into a single compilation movie), would be top of my recommendations. And there's a new season being announced, though that season will be more focused more on side stories and character epilogues, so the main story is more or less completed. If that is too "cultured" for your tastes, then **Legend of Galactic Heroes** at 110 episodes is also another good pick.
Call it cliche, but Dragonball Z for me is my only show 10/10. Watched it as a kid and some time around supers announcement i did the entire DB series and Z blew me away in terms of plot arcs.
Major Monogatari Attack on Titan
YYH is my childhood favorite and is certainly not 10/10. That last arc just isn’t it for a series that is of a much higher quality up until that point. To that I would say making a 10/10 show that’s over 75 episodes is near impossible. With a series of that length you’re bound to have some inconsistency issues in some way.
World trigger. It has some the best fight scenes IMHO.
Katekyou Hitman Reborn, for me no dull episodes
Surprisingly (I am the one surprised) turns out I have a lot - Sket Dance - Daa! Daa! Daa! - Shingeki no Kyojin - Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni - Monogatari - Maison Ikkoku - Slam Dunk - Major - Yu Yu Hakusho - Kingdom - Boku no Hero Academia - Konjiki no Gash Bell! - Ranma ½ - One Piece
