Nah the only anime that might dethrone Bebop is probably Monster. I don't think Ippo would get enough love. I personally wouldn't rate it as high but thats just me.

Not sure. A reason Bebop got so much love is because of the style (jazz music, chain smoking, fashion, martial arts, GOAT dub voice acting) and racial diversity that particularly connects with this board. Then it was easily accessible airing on toonami every weekend. Monster deserves to be that high but I could see it getting knocked down just because it isn't as iconic and not as many people know of it.

I have Ippo as my 5th best anime of all time.

I heard good things about Monster, but never watched it.

Monster, Psycho Pass, and Hero/Mask probably in the same category (and rating).

Just like 7 Seeds, Rokka no Yuusha, and Zetsuen no Tempest is in the same category (and rating).

I want to say something. Yes, I’ve thought about adding movies. In fact I thought about doing 45 animes and 5 movies. I only had three movies in my head

1)-Street fighter which was recommended by @Balla ( He’s the reason the street fighter anime will get ranked because I damn sure didn’t think of it)

2)-Ghost in the Shell movie

3)-And the new Broly movie.

But here’s the problem. I really don’t want to put anime movies in the same list as an anime series. So I may separate it depending on the movies recommended. At most I’ll try and go to ten movies ( If recommended) because I want at least 40 different animes.

BTW I still have the following animes to get to (Steins gate, Yu Yu, Attack on titan, Demon slayer, Ghost in the Shell, Hellsring and Monster) etc.

So adding movies can get tough. But I’ll listen to recommendations since I only have three so far.
I think movies should be their own lists. I don't think its fair to rate a 2-3 hour movie against a 50+ episode series. Also that kind of changes how these should be rated. I would rate Samurai X alot higher than I would rate Rurouni Kenshin. I think it just makes things easier if we don't include them or keep them to a minimum. For movie reccomendations I nominate:
Grave of the Fireflies
Metropolis
Princess Mononoke
Vampire Hunter D/Bloodlust
The Girl Who Leap Through Time
Paprika

There better be some Gundam, Black Clover, World Trigger, and Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu in that list of yours. :ufdup:

Why was samurai x so different form kenshin? I never understood why.

I think films belong in the poll, but only if they don't have a TV series that accompany them since it's in the same universe. that would eliminate a lot of potential films that would clutter the list. Like all 20 of the DB films.

can't exclude Studio Ghibli when they laid the foundation for anime criticism in the West and helped create a worldwide audience for anime. A Silent Voice, Sword of the Stranger, Makoto Shinkai / Satoshi Kon / Mamoru Hosada works, lots of influential anime films worth putting on a leaderboard somewhere. how you score them relative to TV series depends on your preferences.

I heard good things about Monster, but never watched it.

Personally think the manga is the best way to get through it. Monster doesn't have many scenes that look better in animation versus on a page and that 74 episode length can be intimidating. Still great though.

I wonder if those shows will get put on the poll. Because if we're voting on Blast of Tempest, Rokka no Yuusha then it could easily go 200+

I agree with what you said which is why I think they should have their own list. Just like Kenshin, DBZ has movies that would I think we all rank higher than the series. I think it just doesn't make sense to rank movies but exclude some because they also had series.

It's not thats its different but its like the took the best arc of the series and made it a seperate movie.

No I mean the show itself was a lot different and way more violent and I think kenshin was different, actually now that I remember he was different at first.

I thought x was a prequel to kenshin? Or am I thinking of something else?
