I was pleasantly surprised by the above list since a lot of lists tend to contain anime that people deem "manly", in other words ones with a lot of fighting. This list though has a very good balance of action, comedy, romance, adventure, horror and pretty much all genres anime tend to cover and those are some great titles.

Then of course there is school days. Oh god the horror, the trauma. I wouldn't have put it there just because I wouldn't want a fellow human being to suffer through what I suffered. It has been over 8 years that I watched School Days and the horror does not fade. THE ENDING ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!

(;

I watched all One piece,Bleach,Ashita no joe, Kaiji,Jigoku Sensei Nūbē episodes now i'll watch Eyeshield 21

Name 5 good classic anime that lasted longer than 2 seasons. I can only name 1, which is Monster, and that one isn't even 10 years old.

I don't know why people always complain about the ending. The whole anime in its length was a torture trip(in a good way). The ending was just the logical conclusion. I found the ending to be rather relieving after all the suffering. A quick death is always preferable to years of mental torture.

School Days will always be a master piece of psychological drama but for some reason people only remember it for the gory ending that wasn't even nearly as cruel and graphic as the rest of the story.

God looking at that list I'm recalling so many anime I've watched over the years and just forgotten. That's a very good list

No no you got me all wrong. The ENTIRE thing was just painful as I said in my post but I only pointed out that the ending was haunting because (SPOILER TERRITORY):

It wasn't Makoto's death that bothered me. The dude deserved a much more painful death. It was more whether Sekai was actually pregnant or not that just left me scratching my head in just utter shock. Plus it was also Kotonoha's transformation from such a lovely innocent girl into what she became in the end. That boat scene I will never forget. But yes I absolutely agree the whole anime itself, every part of it was just me sitting there banging my head against the wall as the protagonist made every possible wrong choice after another.

That being said I think I remember watching another psychological anime at the time which wasn't so bad called Myself Yourself. It had similar School Days sort of vibe and design but not so bad. That had a much nicer ending though.

Agreed. FMP:F especially stood out for me, that was by far the funniest anime I have ever watched. Good times.

Talk about a nostalgia rape of animes lolll! I remember watching a lottt of them! Such good times, some sad, some happy, but most were epic none the less

I made a big mistake when I watched 3 certain Animes in a row in just a few days.

I watched School Days, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien and a 3rd painful drama in a row(School Days last). I had to stop watching for like a week after that. Dramas are great but that was just too much for my brain.

Speaking of great dramas. A recommendation for everyone who loves atmosphere, drama, yuri and a cast that technically is devoid of males. And I know for sure that no one of you has watched or merely heard of it

Simoun is a depressing scifi/fantasy romance drama with an intriguing plot, lots of twists, a huge cast that practically gets the definition of character development and a great ending. It also has awesome music. The bad CGI and weird character design may turn some people off but I can assure you that it is by no means cheap or full of fanservice.

I learned from it through that poster and it absolutely blew me away. I have never seen anything like it plotwise ever again.

I wanted to post an AMV but they're all full of spoilers. So I'm posting the op.

You can't see it but even only hearing this music I'm already tearing up again ;(

I would've given it the highest rating but the bad art knocked it down to a mere 9/10.
