I forgot FMA!!! and @Tynoteusz: Ergo Proxy. really really interesting show. just from reading the comments I can tell I've found even more winners to add to my collection. I was worried I'd run out of shows to watch. now I've added so many titles i won't have to worry for years. and then i can still rewatch! p.s. i rewatch Eureka Seven every year. it is just that good. oh. I forgot FMA!!!

Love everylast one of these shows to death. but there are so many more. and especially one that really does deserve to be on the list. and that one is EUREKA 7. Honestly THE BEST ANIME OF ALL TIME, and i must say I've watched many good anime. The story, the mecha, the characters, the EMOTION of this show is unbelievable. If you want a show that is about growing up, and the beauty of love, and loyalty, and responsibility, and the evils of war, then this show is truly tops. .hack//SIGN - (i'm suprised no one has mentioned it) watched this show early on in my anime career and what an impression it made. I would definitely recommend this to any budding anime enthusiast, to show just how action is not everything in anime. a leisurely pace and stunning visuals and actual character progression is just as important. FLCL Mushishi Berserk Code Geass Elfen Lied Wolf's Rain Michiko to Hatchin all theses should really be seen as well though, might not be worthy of top 10 status. thanks for the list! also, your movie list is aslo truly inspiring. The girl who leaped through time: what an amazing movie!! cry every time. Just want to say that this list certainly aided me in my quest for anime brilliance.

FLCL
Mushishi
Berserk
Code Geass
Elfen Lied
Wolf’s Rain
Michiko to Hatchin

all theses should really be seen as well though, might not be worthy of top 10 status.

also, your movie list is aslo truly inspiring. The girl who leaped through time: what an amazing movie!! cry every time.

I don't really like anime all that much but my boyfriend's really into it, and he got me watching that show and man I'm hooked. Incredible story, beautiful landscapes, and characters that you can really relate to. FMA: Brotherhood seems to be even better. I'm surprised they are not on this list. Btw, I've seen Ghost in the Shell too and FMA is so much more engaging. No Full Metal Alchemist?

The logic, it is flawless. /sarcasm @Katie: Like a lot of people, I think Death Note had a strong first season but absolutely boring second season. @Project-2501: Manga series you should definitely read, my list includes: X, Tokyo Babylon, D.Gray-Man, Dragon Ball, Yuu Yuu Hakusho, Terra E... I have a definite love affair with shounen series, but they are just so much better to me than any shoujo series. I have to say though, Yuu Yuu Hakusho is the only series I love with a female main character I simply can't stand: Keiko. Aside from the fact that I don't find her at all pretty, cute or anything like that (as an older teenager she's especially ugly), she has one of the most annoying, self-righteous, bitchy personalities. She was definitely the one who turned me off the "weak whiny wimp" and "violent bitch" anime girl stereotypes. @Randall Fitzgerald: Really, what better way to get people interested in your point of view than by insulting them for not sharing it.

Only one person's mentioned Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni? I have used that show to convert SO MANY PEOPLE to anime it's scary. I'll admit it can be confusing and seemingly nonsensical but sticking with it eventually reveals what is (somehow) both one of the darkest, saddest and pessimistic series I've ever seen but also one of the brightest, happiest and optimistic ones as well. It has fantastic characters, an intelligent story and some of the most awesomely unforgettable moments ever. Not to mention a brilliant ending that will have you crying tears of joy (Most emotional. Calender. Ever.). Watch it. Watch it now. Seriously? Only one person’s mentioned Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni? I have used that show to convert SO MANY PEOPLE to anime it’s scary.

All of them are mature, deep, and well-done series that deserve to recognized for their excellence. I'm really happy to see Evangelion is on the list; it being my favorite anime of all time. I watched it 2 years ago and it completely changed how I saw my life. I absolutely love the series and hold it very near to my heart. I've also seen Cowboy Bebop and Gunslinger, which in their own rights are incredible as well. And I've heard great things about the other shows as well (as mentioned with my first comment). I guess I better start watching some of these! What a great list of animes. All of them are mature, deep, and well-done series that deserve to recognized for their excellence.

Hellsing alone is awesome, its OST it the best of all the animes IMO. FLCL was random, funny, nostalgic and has a special place in my heart for it.
