best anime series ?

what are your favorite anime series of all time?

here's my top ten :

neon genesis evangelion
jojo’s bizarre adventure
berserk
future boy conan
serial experiments lain
darker than black
gungrave
cowboy bebop
full metal alchemist: brotherhood
dragon ball z

off the top of my head so probably forgetting loads, why yes I have watched a lot of anime (except shounen)

older:
Haibane Renmei
Mushishi
Lain
Kino on Tabi
Baccano
Spice & Wolf
Bebop
Aria
Paranoia Agent
Dennou Coil

newer (i.e. the last decade or so?):
Ping Pong
Shirobako
Hourou Musuko
Tatami Galaxy
Humanity Has Declined
Hyouka
Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju
Katanagatari
A Place Further Than The Universe
The Great Passage

I guess looking at those lists I like more realistic stuff but with slight supernatural elements? also interesting art styles.

been catching up on a lot of stuff lately so its changing over time but here's the first dozen that come to mind from old to new

cowboy bebop
turn a gundam
mushishi
dennou coil
sound of the sky
hyouka
the eccentric family
gatchaman crowds
non non biyori
barakamon
girls' last tour
a place further than the universe

i mostly watch slice-of-life and fantasy stuff i guess. also cute stuff

ah Eccentric Family is one I forgot, great show.

There's two versions of Jojo and Berserk. I'm assuming it's the new Jojo and the old Berserk.

u already kno

just started Kino No Tabi, it's amazing. looking forward to checking out Turn a Gundam next

I’m not a big anime watcher except where it interweaves with my interests. Enjoyed moyashimon a lot recently and it inspired me to start reading the mangas.

the original flcl ova

a few more favs i remembered, to compensate for my first list being too chill:

madoka magica
land of the lustrous
kyousougiga
blast of tempest
ssss.gridman
shiki

I was never a fan of english dubbing but does anyone still do that?

yes it happens all the time

viz produced a whole new dub to coincide with their rerelease of sailor moon, etc.

Funimation's current business strategy is based on "simuldubs", dubs of current anime series produced & streamed within a week of their airing in japan. I'm a total antidub snob so have idea about the quality, but their operation is pretty impressive on a technical level.

I thought maybe they knew that anime fans tend to prefer subtitles and just gave up on dubs. Does Cartoon Network still do much anime?

dubs are still very important if you want to reach a more mainstream audience, so bigger shonen stuff like Attack on Titan tends to have them. Also I think most if not all of the newer Netflix shows have dubs too.

yeah a pretty big chunk of anime gets english dubbed now - all the big shonen series that get shown on cartoon network, everything netflix picks up, funimation dubs several of their shows each season - but the quality varies a lot with who's involved. i don't like to watch stuff dubbed myself except for a few cases where the english dub is both good and thematically appropriate e.g. Baccano
