Anime lovers are deeply passionate, and there’s nothing that gets us more fired up than debating about which series deserves to be at the top. Whether you’re a long-time fan or just starting to explore anime, finding a show that just feels right is magic. So, let’s dive into a lively talk and fan love with a list of the top 10 most loved anime series ever, as said by fans, bloggers, and those of us who have spent too many nights watching “just one more episode.”
10. Sword Art Online
For a lot of people, Sword Art Online was the first step into anime. Its mix of virtual world, big action, and a bit of love got it lots of fans. One fan said if they could be any anime person, they’d be Asuna—because who wouldn’t want to be a dual-sword hero in a digital magic land? According to a review by Innerreality, Sword Art Online is well-loved, mainly for those who like epic worlds and strong women leads.
9. Kakegurui
If wild faces and risky bets sound cool to you, Kakegurui is worth a watch. It’s not for everyone—some might think it’s a bit much—but its bold style and drama win it a lot of love. As Mzzdevi said, Kakegurui is, to put it lightly, “quite the ride,” and the art style is wild too.
8. Spirited Away
No list of anime is full without tipping a hat to Studio Ghibli. Spirited Away is magic—a wonderful ride that has won hearts of all ages. It’s a must-see for those who want to see all that anime can offer, both in feelings and looks.
7. Your Lie in April
If a tearjerker sounds good, Your Lie in April hits the spot with a deeply moving story. It’s a romance and life tale that pulls on your heart and stays with you.
6. Hunter x Hunter
Adventure, friendship, and a journey that begins sweet and then gets quite heavy—Hunter x Hunter is a favorite for good reasons. Mzzdevi remembers getting hooked from a friend’s tip, and it’s clear why it has so many fans.
5. Death Note
Few anime series have started as many talks as Death Note. With smart games and characters in moral gray areas, it’s a top pick for anyone into mind thrillers. Innerreality puts it high on their list, and it’s a common favorite in all ‘best of’ picks.
4. Jujutsu Kaisen
Modern shonen at its best, Jujutsu Kaisen has quickly become beloved for its smooth art, interesting people, and amazing fights. Yehetjessica suggests it for anyone wanting a fun, packed action watch.
3. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Demon Slayer is all over—and for great reasons. It’s great art, and big battles have marked it as a new classic. Innerreality loves the latest shows, and Mzzdevi says even the theme song grabs people.
2. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
For a great story, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood stands out. It blends action, deep thoughts, and strong feelings beautifully. Josh Correa puts it just below another top anime.
1. Attack on Titan
At the top is Attack on Titan—a series that changed what anime could be. With wild plot twists, unforgettable people, and stunning art, no wonder Josh Correa and Innerreality say it’s their top choice. If you haven’t seen it yet, what are you waiting for?
