Lets talk today about my favourite anime after watching 550 animes... Some will be review here for the first time.It's hard to pinpoint a top 10 but let us try... Some I would advise to you but others I cannot.
Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku (Now and then , Here and There) made by AIC it's I made a review previsouly and you can read it here but if you don't have the time - this anime earns high marks for pessimism, melancholic and despair factors. It was one of the first Isekai made in 1999 where a boy goes to another world to help a girl. His mind is bend on doing everything good no matter what. He gets beaten up time and again. If you want an anime that afterwards you are going to gaze into a wall deeply then this is anime for you.
After watching it try Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. This anime is also way depressing as hell. It's slow pace compare with the first but if you want an anime to connect to your characters try this one. You will cry.
Afterwards we've got the movie Hotarubi no Mori e. It's a tale about friendship and old times. Really interesting take on romance and the division between two worlds and at the same time about two people who cannot be in love. Don't know if it makes sense... In terms of art style is way better than the above BUT since it's a movie of 45m you will get attached more to the other tv series characters. Nevertheless - very good. So beautiful and sad.
Violet Evergarden is an orgasm to your eyes. It's beautiful slice of life with some interesting story behind it. You will cry. I cry at least in 4 episodes (the latter ones). It's a story about war and about the ending of a war and the impact they have on people. In this case in a girl that only knew her benefactor who she took orders and to kill. Now she must return to everyday life. It's a story about learning your place and one that most military man who fought in wars go through....Very interesting.In the other hand if you want romance then Toradora , Rec or Tsuki Ga Kirei are three good choices. One is more comedic feel and it's about the discovery of love, the second is more mature love about two adults living in a adult world while the third is the discovery of the first love. I must say I would prefer the first of the third but cannot choose one of them.
Straight more adult mystery you've got Boku Dake ga Inai Machi. It has a great tv adaption (netflix). If you want a more relaxed gorgeous mystery anime you've got Hyouka. If you ware like me an enjoy Black Metal then watch Detroit Metal City. If you are into a more epic with a lot of background, tactics and such you've got Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu. If instead you want a slice of life you've got Sora yori mo Tooi Basho or Fune Wo Amu.
If you enjoy great artwork and deslike SAO but enjoy that kind of anime with a fantasy setting I would advice Hai to Gensou Grimgar. A Bit darker than other isekais with a hint of slice of life. The artwork is perfect. If you want something that makes you think then you've got Steins Gate or Made in Abyss. If you just want to laugh you've got Asobi Asobase, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou or even Saiki Kusuo no y-nan. But my favourite is Konosuba.This is it from me. As you can see my top list is not ten but probably 20 or so. I would never advice anyone to watch an anime sorely on my taste. I would like to know what you want and I will search it. Maybe it was not for me but I can understand the value and suggest something different for you.
There are also three interesting movies Koe no Katachi, Byousoku 5 Centimeter or Kimi no Na wa. if you don't have the time for a 12 or 24 episode tv series. All three are great and high praised even for non-anime people. The first one is probably my favourite and the one show I would suggest to anyone who never watch any anime but wanna try.
Let's be back at 1000.
