Anime fans can become quite competitive about what are the best anime. We all have our favorites based on our preferences and personal experiences. Some may prefer quiet daily stories found in My Dress-Up Darling or Blue Period , while others may want something more explosive like Attack on Titan or Dragon Ball Z. There is no certain answer to which anime is the best. Or is there? MyanimeList has long been compilations for user ratings to determine which anime is “objectively” the best .
- Publication of Mushoku Tensei is interrupted by Panini
- Carthagra will be released at Nintendo Switch in 2025
Without further ado, here is the current top 10 ( 31/03/25 ), as produced by MyanimeList . By the way, this list will include only the series as a whole, not individual seasons, as they are classified in evil (otherwise there would be a lot of Gintama here).
Best anime according to MyanimeList - Top 10
10. Kaguya-sama wa kokurasetai: ultra romantic
- MyAnimeList: 8,98
- Japanese title : かぐや様は告らせたい-ウルトラロマンティック-
- Episodes: 13
- Studio : A-1 Pictures
In short, when Kaguya-sama: Love Is War emerged on the scene in 2019, shocked fans when he reached the top of the MyanimeList top 10 ranking, surpassing Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. However, in the following years, the devout fandom of the program calmed down a little. Anyway, the series is still immensely popular, as it remained in the top 10 despite some fierce competition.
09. Bleach: Sennen Kessen-Hen
- MyAnimeList: 9,00
- Japanese title : BLEACH 千年血戦篇
- Episodes: 13
- Studio : Pierrot
Despite its place on Big Three, the Bleach was often the target of many anime community jokes and was constantly labeled as the weakest of the three. But Thousand-Year Blood War put the franchise back on the map, even for casual fans who are just starting to understand the medium in the present!
08. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu
- MyAnimeList: 9,01
- Japanese title : 銀河英雄伝説
- Episodes: 110
- Studio : K-Factory and Kitty Film Mitaka Studio
Contemporary anime fans may not know about Legend of the Galactic Heroes, but the series, which aired between 1988 and 1997, is still considered one of the best science fiction anime on the market. Thus, the show is based on the namesake series of Yoshiki Tanaka novels, who also wrote The Heroic Legend of Arslan.
07. Hunter x Hunter
- MyAnimeList: 9,03
- Japanese title : ハンター×ハンター
- Episodes: 148
- Studio : Madhouse
On the other hand, Hunter x Hunter is one of those anime that dispense with minor presentations. The series, based on the Yoshihiro Togashi manga, is often cited as one of the most beloved anime of recent decades. HXH was the introduction of many people to the anime and it was the gateway for them to find out the other amazing anime on this list.
06. Gintama
- MyAnimeList: 9,05
- Japanese title : 銀魂°
- Episodes: 51
- Studio : Bandai Namco
“If you watched Gintama , you watched most other anime,” it's how fans usually describe the series. Debuting in 2006, the Anime of Gintama is a historical action comedy that fans are best remembered for their phenomenal parodies from other great Shounen series and pop culture. Thus, created by Hideaki Sorachi, Gintama is undoubtedly one of the most praised comedy anime of all time.
Best anime according to MyanimeList - Top 05
05. One Piece Fan Letter
- MyAnimeList: 9,05
- Japanese title : One Piece Fan Letter
- Episodes: 01
- Studio : Toei Animation
One Piece may be one of the most popular anime of all time, but it was the franchise Special Fan Letter that joined fans and more fans when it was released in 2024. Eiichiro Oda's long series will go into anime history as one of the most influential series. But Fan Letter is undoubtedly One Piece at your best.
04. Attack on Titan Temp 03 Part 02
- MyAnimeList: 9,05
- Japanese title : 進撃の巨人 Season3 Part.2
- Episodes: 10
- Studio : Wit Studio
During his screening between 2013 and 2023, Attack on Titan had the anime community in his palm, while we watched week after week, desperate to discover the mysteries of the Titans and the world where Eren Jaeger lived. As much as fans played about the prolonged end of the series, Attack on Titan still features endless fans' reruns, reminiscent of all the first tracks scattered in the first three seasons.
Best anime according to Myanimelist - Top 03
03. Steins; GATE
- MyAnimeList: 9,07
- Japanese Title : Steins; Gate
- Episodes: 24
- Studio : White Fox
At first, anime hardcore fans meet Steins; Gate, but many casual spectators have not yet experienced this hallucinating science fiction series. Based on Yomi Sarachi's manga, Steins; Gate is another one of those programs that require a new exhibition for fans to join the tracks of this incredibly intricate time travel. Thanks to this, and their phenomenal development of characters and plot structure, Steins; Gate no doubt gained his place on the podium.
02. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
- MyAnimeList: 9,10
- Japanese title : 鋼の錬金術師 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST
- Episodes: 64
- Studio : Bones
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the only series that almost the entire anime community agrees that is phenomenal. For years, the series took first place on the evil list. Thus, it is another program that does not need introduction because it is simply perfect.
01. Sousou no Frieren
- MyAnimeList: 9,31
- Japanese title : 葬送のフリーレン
- Episodes: 28
- Studio : Madhouse
For those who did not read the manga, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End came out of nothing in 2023 to steal first place. At a time when the fantasy genre seems obsolete to many, Frieren was a very necessary fresh air breath. Add to this your incredibly rich narrative, solid world construction and lovely characters, and those who watch you know why it is number 1 on the list.
Anyway guys, what did you think of the MyanimeList list? Do you agree?
