There's a little thing about "personal opinion of a new fan" vs "qualified answer from a seasoned watcher." In order to truly have an informed opinion of the best anime, anda need: *At least 10 years experience in watching anime. *Watch regardless of target audience: shounen, shoujo, jousei, seinen, chldren. *Leave personal taste behind: The best anime will never be one of your favorites. Your favorit is either going to be a genre starter that another anime did better, a harem series, hentai/yaoi/yuri, something terribly unoriginal where the basic plot has been done to death. *Experience in critiquing: Being able to point out the merit of things anda hate & point out the flaws of things anda love. Expand your horizons: Don't just watch series, watch stand-alone film & OAVs. Don't just watch new shit, watch stuff from the 60s, 70s, 80s, & 90s. Exquisite memory: If anda have trouble remembering the names of the main characters in a tampil you're watching right now & have to continuously look them up over & over, you're not the best person to ask. (I have a debilitating memory retention problem). Experience: Ask yourself, with the thousands of anime available, have anda even seen 100 different series yet? Less is more: The best anime is likely not a series but a completely serious stand-alone animated movie based on a critically acclaimed novel. Basically, even if anda don't share his taste, anime critic "Bennet the Sage" is one of the few people who's answer I'd take seriously.
