thumb nail already triggered me because steins gate was an anime i dropped after 1 episode, and I rarely drop shows, and also had already watched chaos; head in the ";" universe before giving steins gate a try. episode 1 is definitely not a 10/10

5 subjectively perfect anime shows where I personally think every episode is a 10/10 masterpiece
As opposed to the objectively perfect anime?
Aside from the fact that the use of the superlatives "perfect" and "every episode is a 10/10," renders it immediately some degree of bullshit, this is a surprisingly not awful list. I wouldn't have included Steins;Gate, which is drug down by a tediously unsympathetic protagonist and too many convenient plot contrivances, but aside from that, I'm sort of impressed by the inclusions, and particularly the generally underrated Paranoia Agent, only somewhat diminished by the use of the clunky localized name "Lil' Slugger" instead of the vastly superior and more correct name, "Shounen Bat."
I think all 5 of these shows are worth watching, but I don't think I would classify any of them as perfect anime with no bad episodes.
man Paranoia Agent is so damn good I wish more people watched it. I'd also say Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig.
Hellsing Ultimate. Absolutely zero fat on that OVA. Only took them 13 years to finish...
The most kino anime that every normie has watched
Where's Sonny Boy? Where's Haibane Renmei? Mushishi?
Haibane Renmei is a series that left me deeply unsatisfied. There is so much more I want to know about that world, but you can only fit so much into 13 episodes
When I first watched the show a few years ago, I felt the same. Ultimately I think whether you like the show or not depends on how comfortable you are with the mysteries remaining unanswered. I think being a fan of Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian primed me to accept the unanswered questions, as they're irrelevant to the story of the characters overcoming guilt and finding salvation.
Haibane Renmei sets up a lot of questions, but I don't think it would have any satisfying answers. The world is a backdrop for the character arcs. Why did Kuu fly? It isn't explained, not to us or to Rakka, and the question eats at Rakka, which is the whole point. Death does not give reasons, it just is.
FMA: Brotherhood is not on here, so this list is invalid.
I'm not saying that every episode is perfection, but when you throw in a 74-episode Monster in the list, it's already breaking its premise.
5 brilliant anime that don’t waste a single episode
Who changed the title? Fucking Polygon. Shitty news site with shitty clickbait article.
Realistically any top anime list that doesn’t include Brotherhood is invalid
FMA: Brotherhood is not on here, so this list is invalid.
The only bad thing about Brotherhood. It speed runs the start of the story making you have to watch 2003 to get all of it.
Monster was my first ever anime, by a friends' recommendation. I transcoded them to watch on my DS with an R4 back in the day, absolutely loved it even though it's definitely not for everyone.
Years later I totally forgot the name and couldn't find it anymore, until a completely unrelated friend recommended it as well and immediately realised and never forgot about it again!
