What is the greatest anime of all time?

Anime as an art form has been around for quite a while—since 1917, at least, when the first anime films were made. Since then, it’s evolved and transformed into a global phenomenon, and millions of people around the world enjoy Japan’s signature eye for animation.

And with so much history, you can’t help but wonder: What’s the best anime, like, ever? Is there one? Sure, sure, maybe that’s the wrong way to think about it, but it’s fun to think about anyway, and maybe we can find some sort of answer!

4. Jujutsu Kaisen
5. My Hero Academia
6. Hunter x Hunter
7. One-Punch Man
8. Tokyo Ghoul
9. Sword Art Online
10. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
