Fairy Tail
Attack On Titan
Naruto Shippuden
Bleach  

I would have just immediately assumed this was a joke thread if 'Attack On Titan' wasn't included in that list...

Now I'm not sure if you are trolling or serious.  

If I hadn't included AoT in my list it wouldn't have been a joke.  

You don't just watch mainstream stuff right? Because if you were to rate Naruto Shippuden as a whole I would definitely not put it as the top anime. It's good and all, but with fillers and the war taken into account it lowers the rating for me.

People are entitled to their own opinions.

If they don't think AoT should be on their top anime list, then so be it.

AoT is still pretty badass though.

If you haven't yet, check out Bacanno and Kill la Kill.

Now those are some seriously good stuff.  

I've pretty much watch and read mainstream anime/manga. ( Big three, SAO, AoT, Fairy tail, etc..) One Piece is my favorite anime and like Tyler said Naruto has way too many fillers. I mean One Piece has 643 episodes that I've watched, but their are only like 5 to 6 filler arcs I think. I'm also starting to get into some new anime like Hitman Reborn which is pretty bad ass. Also Blue Excorist is on my watch list too. I like your list though, you got style.  

I never particularly like the mainstream animes. Most of the time, if not all the time, they are action genres, and people always talk about how epic these series are, when in fact they have quite a bit of flaws and usually takes the shine away from other series that are not so popular in the west, but have way better plot and characters.  

Durarara, Baccano, Fma, Steins gate, AoT no other anime matters.  

Black lagoon has to be up there

Basically this. This seems to be the general consensus. They usually get scorned publicly, they are not normally praised for being 'good', hence why I assumed that the initial post was just trolling. However, AoT actually has enough merit to qualify as 'good', thus my confusion.

Anyways...

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

A Masterpiece.

The nihilistic themes and prevalence of true neutral characters just really resonated with my own personal life views. Having all that wrapped up in a 'cutesy magical girl' anime is just icing on the cake.  

I'm up to episode 18 in AOT, the story isnt that great, the Titans look Mentally challenged, i just wouldnt have this this on my list for Best Anime. #1 anime in my opinion would be Fairy Tail.

the Titans look Mentally challenged

Although that bothered me a lot, i still liked it. The titans started off looking really cool and creepy. Then, they began to run like idiots, while holding themselves in their arms.

If you think they look bad in the anime, you should see them in the manga lol  

They're depicted like that for a reason...  

I've been getting into anime more and more, so far I finished all of SAO and loved it. I've tried a few other anime series but haven't gotten into them as much, any suggestions?
