I started watching Ping Pong recently thanks to having a gifted Funi sub and honestly I was not as impressed as a lot of folks. I'd seen the high praise on here previously so I was excited but after 6-7 episodes, it didn't really stand out to me. Certainly not more than any other sports series.

Is Mob Psycho really that good? Because reading these selected quotes, the highest praise seems to be for the animation above anything else... Which - while yes it's important in an animated series - in any fictional media, characters are first and foremost for me. Always. It's why I personally would have FMA: Brotherhood as my anime of the decade (though it technically started airing in 2009): it has a fantastic cast of whom I care for nearly each and every one of them. You need a reason to care for any action on screen and if the characters don't do that, it's hard for me to be invested at all.

MP100 is overrated. The first season is pretty good, but the second is lame. ATOT should be in top 3.

Mob Psycho has fantastic characters imo.

On an unrelated note, didn't vote myself because I knew recency bias and my ability to sort through a decade's worth of series I'd watched meant I was never going to be able to come up with a list I felt confident in myself

I like Mob Psycho a lot. But there are definitely shows in the top 15 I'd put over it. I feel that the show always falls short when it comes to the overarching conflict and the point it wants to convey from them. It's the smaller moments and character interactions that really make it, not the "good psychic vs. bad psychic" battles, and yet there is still so much of the latter. The scenes with the guy who could teleport in S2 were fantastic, though. Best animated teleportation I've seen.

I've seen all of that top 10, minus March Comes Like a Lion and Space Battleship Yamato 2199, and I haven't seen all of Tatami Galaxy. I'll have to check them out.

I definitely didn't like Land of the Lustrous as much as some other people. None of the characters really did it for me.

Wish Gintama and, especially, Attack on Titan had been higher.

Glad to see Tatami Galaxy, March Comes In Like A Lion, Ping Pong, and Flowers Of Evil on the list along with Kaguya and A Silent Voice. I would have personally put Night Is Short Walk On Girl way higher.

Mob Psycho and LoTL are overhyped af. Shirobako not even on the top 10? No mention of From The New World at all? 3-Gatsu not on the top 5?

Not a fan of this list at all. Oh well. At least the movie rankings were on point.

Pretty solid list overall (Rakugo or Devilman would've been my #1), but no From The New World in the top 30 feels like a big oversight.

Kids On The Slope is my personal favorite of this decade but this list mostly makes sense. I completely agree with the movie placements though!

Decent top 10, I'm happy that March Comes in like a Lion is there. Shame that Shirobako isn't and that Run with the Wind isn't even top 30.

The film list is quite good as well, though I wish that Liz and the Blue Bird was in it.

For how much it's talked about, I thought "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai" might have made the top 30. Guess maybe I wasn't the biggest outlier when it came to what I thought of it.

The only one I'm sad about is Mushishi not placing higher. Season 2 was a masterpiece and a couple of episodes within just shoot it up exponentially.

Yes, absolutely. I've read the manga too and I 1000% recommend it despite it having really.... ah, quirky art lol. The characters, their struggles, flaws, and the story are phenomenal. The anime is like a love letter to the manga itself, where the animators and studio behind it all clearly adored it so much they wanted to make the absolute best product they could. It's neck and neck for me with FMA:B for a reason.

It's just that the anime is like... mindblowingly amazing to watch so that's why its animation gets brought up so much lol.

Silent Voice is good. There are a few series I like here but I think my taste is pretty different from the people here.

I would agree with A Place Further Than the Universe, Chihayafuru, and maybe Madoka being in a top 20.

Happy with it. I would have put Rakugo at #1 by Mob is deserving enough. Oof at Gintama not making top 10 though, come on guys. Very surprised and happy to see 2199 in t10, It certainly deserved it!!!!! Also GG Penguindrum!!! Can't wait for the Demon Slayer tears 🤭

Mob Psycho 100 was an amazingly good experience when I went into it not knowing how highly regarded it was. I felt it was solid and entertaining, but not particularly special at first. But it just got better and better with each episode, and by the Season 1 finale I felt completely blindsided by how good it was.

I wouldn't put it as the top anime of the decade, and I'm not sure how I would've felt about it had I gone in with high expectations, but it was definitely a memorable experience.

I couldn't make it through an episode of Land of the Lustrous. Didn't find it interesting but mostly just hated the animation with every ounce of my being, lol.

I missed the voting thread apparently, but off the top of my head I'd probably go:

1. March Comes in Like a Lion

2. Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju

3. One Punch Man

4. A Place Further than the Universe

5. MOB Psycho

Then I would have to think a lot more.

#### SolidSnakeBoy

My friend Ping Pong at its best is second half of EP1 and the last 2/3 episodes. I think the way those episodes re-contextualize all the characters and the work the animation and storyboard do to deliver the themes is brilliant. But that only works after seeing them. I would go so far as to say EP 10-11 are some of if not the best episodes of Anime ever made. I agree the middle of the show is not that great, but it is important in establishing the characters for maximum effect.

#### SunKing

Member

Oct 25, 20171,592

I guess I'm hesitant because I know it's from the same creator as One Punch Man and...I didn't really care for that too much. It was a (no pun intended) one trick pony that went on too long imo. And my relationship with shows the anime community tend to hype up a lot over the years doesn't always match up.

#### Cess007

I can agree with both #1. Tho I never saw 'A silent Voice', I read the manga, and if the movie is half as good, it's a rightful winner.

How is Kimetsu no Yaiba there but not Vinland Saga? The story of Demon Slayer is average with some good moments, while VS is great throughout.

Oh man, OPM and MP100 are completely different. The only thing that's the same between them is the style of humor, but OPM is extremely shallow and I agree it's very one trick pony. MP100 on the other hand has a story that actually progresses and spends a lot of time exploring its characters, their relationships to each other, and how each one of them is trying to figure out how to be a better person and find their place in the world. It's not the grand epic plot of FMA, but it has characters that are just as good and legitimately grow; it's def where MP100 shines best. The manga managed to even make me tear up a couple of times, it can hit real hard when it wants to.

I'd say give MP100 s1 a try -- it's only 12 episodes and you'll def be able to tell if the rest is for you or not before the end. Just give it a few episodes cuz it starts off really silly and similar in tone to OPM before it starts to serious up.

Eh, I didn't place it super high because I thought the show was better in the 2000's than the 2010's.

Anyway, pretty good results overall! Happy to see a lot of these series on the list. Really happy with how high Space Battleship Yamato 2199 placed. It's one of my favorites and I feel it falls through the cracks a bit.

mfw Land of the Lustrous but no Beastars. At least Studio Orange on the board showing how to actually use 3D animation. (Ping Pong should probably be over Mob Psycho, but its a simple popularity contest I guess.)

#### Eldy

Thank you for tallying the results, sonicmj1! Pretty good list all in all, IMO. Any day that A Silent Voice beats out Your Name is a good day. Glad to see Princess Kaguya so high, although for me it was the clear number one. Shame about Mushishi barely cracking the top 25 of the series list, but whaddaya gonna do?

Oh, don't worry about that. Disliking One Punch Man has zero bearing whatsoever on whether you'll like Mob Psycho. I would never guess that they had the same author if I didn't already know. They sort of have the same premise, but the direction MP100 goes in couldn't be more different.

My quote got used, cool. I'm a professional anime reviewer now (it's going on the CV).

These lists are always a bit of a popularity contest but work great for finding mew stuff to watch. Just gotta check the full list.

I hadn't see Ping Pong before the lists but watched it recently. It'd definitely make too 3 for me now.
