Lelouchii's Anime

These are the best anime ever made. All that are listed here are SUPERB, definitely worth watching. Though some are bit better than the others. By that I mean that some of these animes barely made it to the list and some passed with flying colors and are "true" Masterpieces.

BEST ANIMES I'VE EVER SEEN (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER): Code Geass, Death Note, Clannad After Story, Mirai Nikki, Gintama, Angel Beats!, Kanon 2006, Steins;Gate, Shingeki no Kyojin.

NOTE: Still.. I can say that Angel Beats! and Kanon are worst of the bunch. From the rest.. it's really hard to say what I like more. They all are so different that it's hard to compare.

5 Centimeters Per Second (movie) Masterpiece
Amagami SS (TV) Masterpiece
Amagami SS+ (TV) Masterpiece
Angel Beats! (TV) Masterpiece Key's fourth anime. You can see the Development from Clannad clearly. Only 13 episodes but all of the episodes are packed with emotion. Especially the humor is much better than before (tho Clannad had it moments too). There wasn't really anything missing in this one. When started this I was kinda worried is this gonna be anything compared to previous series Kanon and Clannad, but it seems this far exceeded by expectations. It was so much better than I thought. Also by Watching this I kinda realized again that Key' makes the best anime by far. Will be waiting for the fifth' series. :) EDIT: Maybe top 6 of the best anime I've ever seen, can't really say which one was better Kanon 2006 or this.
anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (TV) Masterpiece
Another (TV) Masterpiece
Attack on Titan (TV) Masterpiece
Beelzebub (TV) Masterpiece
Clannad (TV) Masterpiece Best romance anime I've ever watched. Also has comedy and harem. Best work from the Key. It's bit slow at the start but if you can make it through the beginning you'll understand why it's the best.. Also note that I was about to quit it too but I somehow pulled it through.. and it was worth it! WATCH IT!
Clannad After Story (TV) Masterpiece Can't really tell much about this one, since don't wanna spoil. Anyway it's the sequel of Clannad. And also in my top 3 list with Code Geass and Death note. EDIT: Still haven't really seen much better anime than this.. Currently listed in my "Best Animes ever", which you can find at the top of this page.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (TV) Masterpiece Another Antihero anime and this too, like Death Note is one of the best anime ever made! In my top 3.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (TV) Masterpiece Sequel that is even better than the first season. It totally blew my mind..
Death Note (TV) Masterpiece The first Antihero anime I watched. Absolutely awesome, though there is no need for me to explain it, do I? This is so famous anime that everyone knows it and has already seen it. It's in my top 3 and I've seen about 110 animes. EDIT: After seeing 200 animes I can still say it's in top 5.
Detroit Metal City (OAV) Masterpiece This anime is full of cursing and other vulgarities but the humor is one of the best. I laughed my ass off with this one. Though I don't think that it was really a "masterpiece" but what the heck..
Dusk maiden of Amnesia (TV) Masterpiece
ef: a tale of melodies (TV) Masterpiece It's like Clannad and I like that type of anime so I was hooked from the start.
ef: a tale of memories (TV) Masterpiece Shitty sequel compared to the first season. But the ending made up to it somehow..
Elfen Lied (TV) Masterpiece Bizarre anime that I watched back in the 2006 or something. But it was great.
Eyeshield 21 (TV) Masterpiece I was a huge sports anime watcher some years back. And I guess this one and POT were the best. If you like sports animes, go for this one. (Or POT)
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (TV) Masterpiece Funny.. like really funny. You'll know if you watch even the first episode. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV) Masterpiece Watched the original FMA long time ago and couldn't finish it. I thought it was pretty bad, but this one was fucking epic (lol). Much better than the original. So if you ever thought FMA is bad, then try this remake.
(The) Future Diary (TV) Masterpiece This anime was so awesome. If you haven't seen it, YOU MUST. One of the best I've ever seen, no doubt. When starting this I had no expectations, after seen it, it blew my mind. Every episode was so exciting that I just had to keep watching. Definitely in my top 5.
Ginga Nagareboshi Gin (TV) Masterpiece Old and legendary anime with the best BGM ever. The first anime I ever watched, it's possible that because of that it holds a special meaning to me, but i still think it would be this good even if i would watch it now and for the first time.
Gintama (TV) Masterpiece Funniest anime I've ever seen and it's long (atm 192 episodes). Characters are great, music is good. Has action, sad parts.. everything! Easily Masterpiece and also the funniest anime ever made.
Gurren Lagann (TV) Masterpiece
Hunter X Hunter (TV 1999) Masterpiece
Hunter × Hunter (TV 2011) Masterpiece
ItaKiss (TV) Masterpiece Romance anime that is truly a Masterpiece, only Clannad is better than this. Has everything and is really sweet. I recommend it.
Kaiji (TV) Masterpiece I had huge assumptions that this would be a really bad anime. But oh boy was I wrong! Got me really hooked from the first episode. It resembles Death note and those sort of animes, with it's mystery/psychological genre.
Kaiji: Against All Rules (TV) Masterpiece
Kanon (TV 2/2006) Masterpiece Another one of Key' Animes. This one was before Clannad. It's good yes.. Lots of similarities to Clannad.
Kill la Kill (TV) Masterpiece
Kobato. (TV) Masterpiece
Kuroko's Basketball (TV) Masterpiece
Kuroko's Basketball (TV 2) Masterpiece
Kuroko's Basketball (TV 3) Masterpiece
(The) Legend of the Galactic Heroes (OAV) Masterpiece
Myself; Yourself (TV) Masterpiece Romance anime that was good. Like.. REALLY GOOD. EDIT: Few years after writing this, I wonder was this even that good lol. I remember watching this in one night and I might've been pretty tired so.. Haven't re-watched it though, but I doubt it's even close to Masterpiece. If you plan to watch this, Don't expect much. I could remove this from here but right now, I wont. If I ever rewatch it, I can make that decision when the series is still fresh in my mind.
NANA (TV) Masterpiece Some years ago I started watching this like for few episodes then I stopped watching it. Don't remember why though. And now recently watched it and it was definitely worth it. Tells of two girls that are both called Nana, though they are like complete opposite of each other. It's the normal Drama/Romance anime, but it kicks ass.
No Game, No Life (TV) Masterpiece
Oreimo (TV) Masterpiece
Oreimo 2 (TV) Masterpiece
(The) Pet Girl of Sakurasou (TV) Masterpiece
Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ (TV) Masterpiece
(The) Prince of Tennis (TV) Masterpiece Check Eyeshield 21 comment for this one.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica (TV) Masterpiece
Rumbling Hearts (TV) Masterpiece Very sad anime. Worth the watch!
Sket Dance (TV) Masterpiece
Slam Dunk (TV) Masterpiece Anime from the 90's that is awesome. Nothing else to say :D
Soul Eater (TV) Masterpiece
Steins;Gate (TV) Masterpiece Saw this anime on every top 10 list and #1 here in ANN, so I had to see it. Starts pretty slow at first and you could say it's a bit boring, but once you get past the first episodes it starts to get really good. I don't know does it deserve to be #1 but I wouldn't rank it much lower than that. This goes without saying.. This is a must watch.
Sword Art Online (TV) Masterpiece
Vampire Knight (TV) Masterpiece Vampires.. Yeah.. Anyway it's good, much better than my assumption was. I think this anime isn't for everyone though. EDIT: I wonder should I rather have given this anime the rating of Excellent, since I've now watched it twice. I feel like it might've been more appropriate.
Vampire Knight Guilty (TV) Masterpiece Even better sequel.. Like it should be.
Wolf Children (movie) Masterpiece
