   Wow! I’m glad that my loved anime mostly made it to the top 30 even top 5! I was referring to anime like:

   1 Fullmetal Alchemist (TV)
   5 Negima! (TV)
   7 Bleach (TV)
   8 Prince of Tennis (TV)
   13 Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (TV)
   15 Yu Yu Hakusho (TV)
   17 Naruto (TV)
   18 Slam Dunk (TV)
   23 Detective Conan (TV)
   24 Saiyuki (TV)
   28 Hunter X Hunter

   I didn’t expect that full metal alchemist would grab the top spot, but I wasn’t surprised because it was a great anime.. The Elric brothers surely rocks..

    I predict that by the end of 2010 Fairy Tail will surely be on the Top 10 best anime.
    In the meantime I personnally think One Piece is the #1 ongoing anime. . . The development of each character is definitely remarkable and they are all very attaching.
    Naruto is still very good but unfortunately the love triangle makes it a little cheezy and misplaced for such a anime. . . and they give to much importance to boring characters like Sakura.

    The inclusion of animes like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh and such and the absence of Code Geass completely invalidates this list. Code Geass is top 10 material, top 15 at worst. I won’t acknowledge a list that won’t acknowledge a good anime.

      T.T You’re right. It was just coming out then. So replace every time I said Code Geass with Elfen Lied (2004) and you have a better rant. ;) Cheers.

    1.Code Geass
    2.CLANNAD
    3.Haruhi No Yuutsu
    4.Death Note (Without any episodes past 25)
    5.Lucky Star
    Other noteable series:
    Bakemonoagtari
    Minami-ke
    K-On
    Macross Frontier
    Toradora

    all these accomplish great character depth, complicated story, good humor, or moving tragedy/romance. Some which make you tear up or even start crying.

    But I’ve NEVER had a moment in Naruto or Bleach where i find myself crying, crapping my pants in sheer awesomeness, or laughing at adorable characters fool around to help relieve my stress. Instead i get weeks of waiting for the story to move on, watching fights (which can get pretty good to be honest), or a combination of both.

    I understand if you think Naruto and Bleach are fucking awesome, and the characters are badass and the fights are cool.

    well… if your stupid…
