Isn't the title grammatically incorrect?
That actually looks really good for a wallet ngl
watching this makes me want to know what your full opinion is on the top 25 (heck even top 100) anime of all time.
na i am good but thanx u for the invitation
highschool dxd is top 20
Garnt: can an ending ruin a show so much to the point that it ruins S tier material?
Also Garnt: I like the later seasons of game of thrones
Yeah but that’s a bad 40-50 episodes. From my understanding AOT just had a bad final chapter
Why’d I think this was talking about GANTZ (it’s a manga)
Just wait till he sees attack on titans ending
@@thomasffrench3639 people wanna pretend it was a bad final chapter, but that ending was always going to run straight into a foot thick brick wall and it's astounding to me that nobody saw it coming. It wasn't just a bad chapter. There was no ending that would satisfy how much stupid shit had to get wrapped up, and if you have a several page conversation that ends with someone thanking someone else for committing genocide, you are so far off the cliff you don't know what the concept of solid ground is anymore.
Also "Can a bad ending ruin a good show" Darling in the Franxx says hello
The ending of Bleach absolutely ruined it for me.
Can’t spell ignorant without IGN
I just can't spell XD
That's a great diss
You mean can't spell ignorant without Gigguk
@@ssarellas shit, you're right, you're so much better, i should watch your TH-cam channel instead /s
@@csharpcoffee Ikr? Sorry to break it to you but Garnt's taste in anime is utter trash
My favourite part of MHA is when Deku said "It's Academia time" and Academied all over those guys. Truly one of the animes of all time
Mid af.
The best moment was definitely when Allmight beat One for All and Bakugo said "wow! He really does have all the might!"
Season 4, 5 and so far Season 6 are so boring
Edit: Bunch of MHA fans triggered by my comment, I used to be a huge fan of MHA but after season 3 the series has been mid at best and boring to me, no need to go around throwing a nedrage just because someone finds an anime boring, that's pathetic
@@Mad_scientist_ha_ha_ha go touch some grass
@@Mad_scientist_ha_ha_ha MORE LIKE YOU BORING I HAVE SPOKEN NOW TOUCH GRASS
@@Mad_scientist_ha_ha_ha My opinion on it: just drop the show. If there's nothing keeping you there, move on.
I'm impressed that they put Gigguk's favorite anime as #1
Domestic Girlfriend?
@@susbedo9258
No, he difinetely "watched" fma and like it
What about Mushoku Tensei
@@joydeepsinha5463 That mid ass pedo show? Nah
Seeing this comment, I know it's FMA.
You nailed it when you said this was written by someone who only watched Shonen. This is such a narrow list, it's like if someone made a lit of best movies of all time and only listed 90's action movies.
Accurate
I mean most people are like this... once time I got into an arguament with a HxH fan who claimed HxH is the best and perfect anime... his reasoning? Listing a bunch of anime which are worse in his opinion... all of them were shounen
They need to get off the shonen boner bro
The worst part is these kinds of “normies” always pick the generic mid shonen that are the mainstream people are willing to watch. Not even very interesting or dynamic shonen but just what other people tell them to watch.
@@craftyhr it should be sorted by genre, and for all the elitist saying "wow only shonen- must be a shonentard" if you made a top 25 everyone would call your list bad too.
Were all anime watchers, our opinions are all awful.
If you think people wouldnt think your list is just as bad- i challenge that notion.

IGN doesn’t understand video games. Do you really expect them to understand anime?
"Too much water"
They honestly understand anime more then they understand videogames if we are juging from this list.
@@pamelotms5867 Too much copium has been inhaled, what can I say.
@@IdOnThAvEaUsE69 😂😂
They rate God Hand 3/10, but including it to top 100 or something ps2 game you should play. I was like, fucking excuse me?
The number of Anime that I would be offended to not see make a top 25 list porbably excedes 25, so clearly I am not qualified to have an opinion on this.
relatable 9000
Bro, same, my top 25 list would be hated into oblivion anyway.
BUT EXCUUUSE ME, WHERE THE FUCK IS MUSHOKU TENSEI
@@csharpcoffee this. As someone that grew up with Lord of the Rings and later enjoyed reading Game of Thrones Mushoku Tensei is the first piece of fantasy literature that has ever touched me as much.
I whole heartedly believe that Mushoku is the best japanese Fantasy show/book/series ever.
@@csharpcoffee A little early to throw the anime onto best of all time lists. Manga/LN absolutely but the anime needs to hit turning point 3/4 before we can talk about GOAT status.
Prob gonna get blasted for this take, but where's Love is war
I actually never watched Attack on Titan specifically because it was so mainstream and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it.
Then one day I got bored and decided to give it a shot...
*It was one of the best shots I've ever gave*
its a good anime but what I hate is every run a mill watch it and thinks its the best
@@kou8708I am so done with guys like you
@@kou8708 it is tho
I have the exact same reason why I didn't like AOT. Everyone and their mother were telling me it was the best show ever created so I went in with extremely high expectations. And the show... was good. But it was just that. Just good. Not groundbreakingly fantastic, not amazingly mindblowing just... Good. Which sucks. I wish it wasn't constantly shoved in my face as "the best show you'll ever see, mate, trust me, bro". One day I'll go back to it and rewatch it with a much more clear head and see if I'll rediscover it.
@@gloriousbastard3319 I think you should go back. Because there is some serious problem I see.
"Demon Slayer is the 14th best anime of all time, if you've seen 14 anime" is my favorite line in this video. And I haven't watched the rest of it yet.
I've seen 14 anime and it's still not in my best anime of all time list
@@LymLevolveon i have watched 7 and it's the best thing I have watched
I never want to get in a stage where I feel something like demon salyer, jujutsu kaisen, etc is mid
I don't want things to be generic that's why I am only watching shows which are best of all time, no some random isekai which fuking wasted my time
Based Garnt spitting facts right there
@@sanju.meshram Or you could just start watching a lot of shows and discover what you like even if they aren't the greatest shows of all time. If you like it then it isn't mid to you and that's what matters. That's how you end up watching shows like Kyousougiga and discovering one of the greatest shows nobody knows about. If you feel like you wasted your time, good. That means you've watched enough of it to have a valid opinion on why you don't like it.
@@joeb1955 Thanks for replying! One thing that baffled me was how many people didn't like the shows which I loved and calling them mid, 8/10. It kinda physically hurt me when someone said kaguya sama 8/10 when its my fav anime of all time. So I didn't want to get in that stage where good shows seem 8/10 because you have watched "too much anime" and there was "nothing special in that show".
That's why I only watch best shows
Once again thanks for recommending Kyousougiga I will watch it next. :)
Btw wonder egg priority and eminence in shadow are my other 2 fav anime
Would love to see a "most influential anime" list video
Not necessarily the best, but the ones with the biggest impact.
I think anime and manga franchises would fare better, but even than it really does matter by which metric
Gundam and Dragon Ball basically
Evangelion and sailor moon also
pokemon too
Yeah that's DBZ & Pokemon if you asked 100 people to name 5 animes off the top of their head don't even think I reckon more than half would say them because they're most well known & have had the most impact on the world
I feel like the issue with a greatest of all time list is you have to consider both how good they actually are and the legacy they’ve had while still having a thorough representation of most genres. The amount of snubs by that metric is insane. Shounen may seem overrepresented but in terms of impact, there were still a lot that arguably depending on your view earned a spot (although MHA is definitely not one of them). The sheer lack of romance anime is also pretty crazy. At least some of Fruit’s Basket, Clannad or Your Lie in April probably should’ve been there. I would argue Madoka Magica should have had a large enough impact to also earn a spot even though the magical girl genre is pretty small relatively speaking and Sailor Moon kinda paved the way for it. At the end of of the day, I kinda feel like a top 25 all time is near impossible to get right because there are so many factors to consider and even then, how do you rank series from different genres against each other when the only thing they have in common is being animated?
Then they should seperate genres and make a list with each one of them. So for example: Top 10 romance anime, top 10 comedy anime, top 10 fantasy anime, top 10 mecha anime, top 10 action anime etc. That would be more fair. That would be a very long list though. In that case maybe they can reduce it to top 5 or even top 3 for each genre.
@@kubo-samabanbankai562 do you think they have seen that many shows? 😂
MHA definetely deserves spot somewhere at the top, maybe not 25 but 50 for sure. Not only it's great, it stood the test of time as one of the Shonen Jump''s long lasting shows.
Isn't Fruti's Basket poorly written cringe clown fiesta though?
@@ILikeGuns1992 I've never heard a bad thing about fruit's basket from anyone. I thought it was good personally but I was also under the impression that the wide consensus was the only romance that rivals it is Your Name. I may be wrong though
@@ScuffTuff I mean bar is not high for anime romance isn't it? So even if it's considered better one chances are it's still poorly written cringe clown fiesta about silly teens having no idea.
In 10 years, when most of Mushoku Tensei has been animated, lets have this conversation again.
It's already gotten into my top 10 list after just season 1, honestly. I'm holding out until at least after season 2 airs to binge read the whole series.
Still waiting for that to drop!
@@tearlach47 If I'm being honest, the light novels are well worth the time spent reading. No need to wait for a second season if you're worried about the story not being able to live up to the standards it has set early on, because it keeps getting better as it progresses.
@@octo9216 I've read the first 4 volumes, and I think it's well worth waiting to see it animated before reading
Naw I’ll be waiting till Pandora Hearts gets a reboot, It’s seriously the most amazing manga I’ve ever seen. I cried the whole time I was reading the last 20 chapters, the writing was beautiful 😌❤️
"Can a bad ending ruin this much S-tier material?" Ask Game of Thrones fans.
It was a few bad seasons, not just a bad ending. It fell off after season 4
half of that series is bad.
Oi i still absolutely love and rewatch the first 4, and enjoy the ending of the sixth season in most aspects.
It’s just too bad we never got to see danny actually arrive in westeros.

IGN is supposed to be for gaming news for gamers worldwide.
Edit: MUM, I'M FUCKIN' FAMOUS, LET ME GO TO JAPAN!!!!!!!! HAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

as if...
IGN anime top is way better than Garnt's anime top
prove me wrong
They're not even worthy to bring Gaming news, they're just a disgrace.....
Key words are ”supposed to” in that sentence.
At this point, Garnt is not watching FMA just so the meme lives on.
I'm so happy Garnt acknowledged Chihayafuru I absolutely loved it and it's gotten me genuinely interested in karuta. I haven't started playing it yet but it's on my bucket list, like seriously
LOVE chihayafuru. Ive read the entire manga except for the last few chapters. Im afraid to finish reading it but I know I have to. Glad to see another chihayafuru fan here. I actually do have the official karuta set from the show. Sitting on my shelf 😊
Now you know how gamers feel with IGN 😭

@@nicholasmartin9090 maybe so but they've fallen off, hard. Much like current day Kotaku

Mfs fave FF7 remake a 7 truly crazy
I think antagonizing the audience with lists might be the real secret to having higher interaction and more sharing.
This ! This is exactly what most articles go for
That's the whole purpose of making lists
Mte, thanks
Mark my words as a Light Novel reader, if the Mushoku Tensei anime can keep up the same level of quality then by the time it ends it will absolutely deserve to be on this kind of list and will be the greatest Isekai of all time. The story is just so fucking good and the writing is fantastic too. The author does a great job of balancing major story elements and hype moments with calm slice of life moments that flesh out the characters and make the world feel very alive.
The best isekai is coming next year if they animate it correctly 💀.
@@sincethen7014 whats the name
@@sincethen7014 nameeeeeeeee
Mushoku Tensei fans need to recognize that Re:Zero deserves to be in the conversation. I've read the entire Light Novel series for Mushoku Tensei, and I'm up to date on the Re:Zero web novel. And I simply prefer Re:Zero at this point. Arc 6 of Re:Zero is better than literally any moment in Mushoku Tensei. And frankly, most of the characters in MT are pretty one dimensional in comparison. Re:Zero's top 20 characters are far, far more complex in comparison to MT's top 20 characters.
Mushoku Tensei's world building is fantastic. But you have to keep in mind that was always a main focus of MT, meanwhile Re:Zero feels like a psychological thriller more than an adventure series. But when the author of Re:Zero wants to focus on world building, he does amazingly well, like in Arc 7 of Re:Zero.
@@jackmayor3574 Mushoku Tensei solos unfortunately, I prefer the slice of life and more normal aspect of MT. I like the whole building a family and actually redoing life which most isekai never even attempt since the point is the power fantasy stuff.
I'm Glad Someone Finally Said It
We've been saying this for several years now.
Finally said SAO is number 1 anime of all time kekw
Everyone’s been saying it
Garnt has trash taste in anime, so his TOP is worse than IGN's
This video proves that his taste is bottom of the barrel, lowest of the low. If you don't think Naruto should be in top 25 anime then wtf are you doing making videos about anime, you should be doing something else with your life. Anime is clearly not for him
"IGN, you know there are more genres of anime than shounen right?" Exactly what I thought when I saw their top 25 rankings, but to be fair, those are probably just the type of anime their editors would naturally gravitate toward
It doesn't matter if there are more genres, all the rest genres of anime are complete garbage other than Shounen
Also, yes. Vinland Saga 100000% needed to be on here.
Hats off to Alan for making this much more enjoyable. I enjoy the editor creator repartee a lot.
Hathaway was a good show though!
Video’s overly edited imo I’m not a 6 yr old who needs the screen constantly moving in and out
Violet Evergarden made me realise that the most mundane thing in the world, the letters and words we type and write, can have an impact far greater than I can define. For that I will be my number 1, even though Your Name is a cinematic masterpiece, even though Demon Slayer had the best animation I have ever seen, I will always remember that letters on a page change the world on a daily basis, for every one who reads them, and only that one show taught me that lesson, and it leaves me bittersweet.
Demon slayer dosen't have The best Animation at all. It's because of top tier compositing and artwork and effects Animation and also making good use of CGI backgrounds. But The Animation itself is not near the greatest at all
Violet Evergarden not making the list, let alone the top 10 of the list, really demonstrated the Shonen lean to it.
And, Horimiya needed to be somewhere on that list too. Couldn't believe it wasn't
@@AutumnSandeenhorimiya is shonen btw. I love the show but I don’t think it’s necessarily in the top 25. But if we wanted to add a shonen romance then yes. If we wanted to add shoujo or a shoujo romance fruits basket should be on that list or I’m biased towards Snow White with the red hair personally. There is so much amazing shoujo out there- madoka, yona, etc. Some queer shows would be nice too there are a couple really brilliant ones(I wish there was more but most queer rep is mainly in manga). Violet evergarden technically is for me is pretty brilliant but I’m not sure. Princesses principle has some brilliant writing. The dragon pilot was a surprisingly real show. Hinamatsuri also has really well done writing. It’s seinen but it isn’t only action.
Now I’d like to know Gigguk’s top pick for each genre… legit curious as to what he’d choose and why.
As much as this list made me sad, Gigguk agreeing that Hajime no Ippo is the greatest sports anime ever made this worth watching
Slam dunk better
@@kingdoom5022 manga? Yes anime? No
@@kingdoom5022 Their both in top 3 imho, so it's all good.
@@kingdoom5022 "A wild Kuroko appears..... Kill it"
I watched the entirety of that anime 2 times. And went on to read the manga because I needed more of that high. It's definitely the best sports anime.
The fact Gintama wasn't on the list is a shame
Man of culture
The fact Grant said Naruto doesn't deserve to be on the list is a shame on him.
@@ДавидГригорьев-ф3ж nah bro Naruto was just okay.
@@Wintergram Nah bro Naruto definitely deserved to be in top 25 more than 10 of anime in this list. Naruto was an awesome anime.
@@ДавидГригорьев-ф3ж naruto is popular, and it deserves the spot in anime culture it has, but it wouldn’t be on my top 25. It got me into anime as a kid as well as one piece, but yeah
Love the choice of using this Kaguya-sama ost track at 9:52. This track is so memeable
“Can an ending ruin a show so much that it ruins this much s tier material”
My south east Asian brother in Christ let me introduce you to a little thing called “Game of Thrones”
The irony is he liked the later seasons.
But GoT had 2 average seasons and 2 terrible ones, so almost half of the show is not good. AoT has been great so far, there are like 9 chapters left, which is like 10% of the anime length.
@@D3D3D I think seasons 1-4 were good and season 5 were average. But honestly the end of the show made what we thought was bad at the time not so bad in hindsight.

Why is IGN doing a anime list lol. Also they don't even know gaming thatw well either. Love your content Garnt
same reason they do anything, for clicks.
Dude Garnt doesn't believe that one of the best anime of all times (Naruto or Demon Slayer) deserves to be in top 25 anime, his taste is beyond trash. Sorry to say this but IGN > Garnt
@@ssarellas demon slayer one of the best anime of all time? Tf you mean? Your taste is childish af. Sorry but I agree with Garnt on this. Demon Slayer is good but is it one of the best anime of all time? Definitely nah.
@@aimannotpenyu193 Dude Naruto is one of the most epic and iconic anime of all time, if you dismiss that then you're just ignorant

@@ssarellas if you haven't watched other animes (aside from KnY and Naruto), then you might misunderstood Garnt's point here.

Me: I'll believe it when you do a review of it.
Edit: I also feel attacked by the amount of aot hate in the comments section. The endings not even that bad ;-;
I'l believe him when he watches it
Just a little but salty that Kaguya-sama isn't on this list unless I blacked out while watching this. Has to be one of the best romance comedy shows to come in the last few years especially with how well animated that show is and how well it translated from Manga to Anime. A-1 Pictures knocked it out the park with the adaptation.
Oh Kaguya 100% deserves it but this was always going to be terrible, it's IGN
Kaguya sama should have been on this list man
Its a flavor of the month anime at best.
It's one of the few anime or any show in particular that literally make me laugh out loud. The humor is very well done.
It's mediocre. Watch better romance or comedy anime.
The fucking monogatari series guys. Why is no one acknowledging this.
you really didn't feel the tiniest hint of irony saying "can a bad ending ruin so much S tier material" immediately after talking about Death Note
Death Note had a weak third act, but the ending is by no means "bad."
@@torgan agreed, but Gigguk implied that the ending brought it down and then didn't apply that same standard to AOT 5 seconds later.

so could youuu like in depth explain what would keep one drawed into the anime?
@@ghetoknight7801 if at any point in your life you were into a competitive activity, you would be interested in this show.
The show is about why we choose to compete, and how people feel or react when they can no longer compete. Do you play to bring honor to your family? Do you play because it's the only way to take care of your family? Or do you play just because it's fun.
Most sports anime focus on the journey to becoming the champion. Ping Pong essentially treats that aspect with lower importance so that the previous stuff I've mention gets to shine brightly.
Hopefully that answers it for you.

AOT was still goated no matter what.
iconic anime of the last decade.
idc if the anime is shit. rewatch aot and tell me its not better than mid metal alchemist
That fucking Ultra Instinct sound clip gets my ass goin' every time lol
Seeing code geass on this list made me feel good as it’s often forgotten due to its age at this point as well as the fact that it aired near death note. Which is extra funny considering most people who Stan for death note only reference or remember the first half. It’s like the whole world forgot there was a second half.
To be fair though, as a massive code geass fan, i feel like us fans conveniently forget all the bad shit about code geass too because the ending was so amazing. Maybe you liked it, but the whole subplot about charles and lelouche's mother wanting to do...something??? to heaven still never made any sense to me, and all the stupid tonal shifts from war crimes to light hearted filler school scenes were so jarring, looking back.
@@tb4076 id def disagree on that. ive never seen a single discussion about code geass that doesnt prefice how bad the second season was over all. Including this one. Meanwhile people will always talk up deathnote and remember it fondly while pretending that after L+Ratio the show skips to the final scene. Ask most people what happened after that and they wont be able to tell you. But with code geass even its biggest haters could tell you what happened in season 2.
Anyways, with season 2 it still remains my favorite anime.
@@tb4076 ikr, people outlook the flaws of Code Geass.
@@tb4076 I've always thought that they were going for some kind of off-brand Human Instrumentality Project type thing, just without the orange goop (maybe?), we just never got to see the outcome.
@@SH1NK1R01I remember reading Season 2 had many problems because the show changed time slots from late at night to the afternoons so the staff had to tone down a lot of the content, not to mention that there were a lot of rewrites
That punchline to what was #1 couldn't be any more perfect. Even IGN is telling Garnt to watch FMAB, which of course he should. 😁
Tbh I expected a lot worse. I actually had a moment shock realization when JJBA and Baccano were placed close to where I would list them.
Garnt, Gigguk... Just watch it already. It needs to be done. Also make a video about it, put it behind a paywall and become a billionaire.
As soon as Joey watches Arcane, and Conner catches up on One Piece lol
Its not even that good. FMAB is a mediocre bogstandard shonen anime that caters to the masses while having a slight western appeal (that slight western appeal was all it needed for it to blow up. Just look at how popular MHA got when it first came out. Superheroes appeal to westerners thanks to Marvel movies)
@@norwa3518 Yeah, good writting is useless. We need kaiju nuke power scaling to make good shounen. Hype and cool factor are the most important.

@@kubo-samabanbankai562 I just gave an example of a similar anime thats also trash (MHA). FMAB is similar to that trash in that regard.
Theres a reason why it got popular. It appeals to the western audience and plays it safe.
Surprised the great aclaimed anime like Akira, Ghost in the shell and gibli weren't here
I think they were only doing anime shows not movies
akira isn't as good as ppl claim it to be. Ghost in the shell was fine. Nothing so much special about these shows.
My favorite is monster. When I first saw it, I was studying criminal justice in high school. I found myself relating to Nina who was doing the same but in university. Johan is the embodiment of all the world's evil. That's what makes him the greatest villain
Garnt will now understand what gamers have to suffer with IGN
At least IGN put the correct FMA in their top 25, which is more than I can say for some anime fans.
Glad you didn't mind Samurai Champloo. It's personally my favorite anime, mostly cause the music and feelings with it resonated with me so much that it shaped the beats and tunes I listen to to this day.
So, Breaking Bad, The guy chase a fly for the entire of the episode...
Grant: Best show off all time
Also Grant: 12:00
Garnt: I wouldn't put jojo above 15.
Puts jojo at 14 on his crunchyroll list
Garnt: why is made in abyss so low at 22?
Puts made in abyss at 28 on his crunchyroll list
Garnt: devilman crybaby shouldn't be above made in abyss and is too high at 15
Puts devilman at 11 on his crunchyroll list

IGN should’ve titled the list “top 25 most nostalgic or mainstream anime in the west”.
It really was a list made by a 90s kid. I know because I was one and most of that list is also on my top 100 somewhere. I'd say that it is more of a list of all time popular anime, but not of all time. Theres simply too much anime to make a good list that can hold any show. They should either make a list by genre or some other limiting factor.
I agree i wouldnt call DBZ greatest even if i grew up with it in the 90's, but i would definitely call it one of the most influential mangas/animes of all time. It affected and inspired many biggest manga authors (like Oda) who in turn inspired many other authors (like Horikoshi). And tbh OG dragonball (pre Z) is still great both anime and manga. especially at what it tried to be.
I think it is the most influential anime because it’s why anime is popular internet be west imo. Like my mom barley knows what anime even is yet she knows Goku. He is just another level of iconic at this point t
Taking what you said into consideration is all the explanation you need as to why DBZ is on this list. It definitely needs to be as one of the best.
I would like him to make his own 25 list best anime of all time
He has a list on crunchyroll. IMO it is worse than this ign one lol
@@Hai43561 what are some of his picks?
His taste is just trash
@@thomasffrench3639 mf put fma brotherhood in it without watching 💀
@@Hai43561 It's not a perfect list but it's a hell of a lot better than the IGN one. Bonus points for having unexpected gems like Gankutsou and Welcome to the NHK on there.
FMAB is MID. And I am tired of pretending it's not.
Tell us your favorites then.
@@kubo-samabanbankai562 Evangelion, Haruhi, Shinsekai Yori, Kokoro Connect, ReLife, Mob Psycho, Made in Abyss, Tsuki Ga kirei, Kaguya-sama, Sonny Boy, Flip Flappers, Chuunibyou, Hinamatsuri, Kemurikusa, Girls' Last Tour...
@@MangafanPecoraNera Almost everything you just counted are either forgetable mediocrities, generic cringe anime romcom sh1t or pseudo elitist favorites, stuff that sell themselves as "artsy" and "mature" but actually aren't really. So much for speaking so highly, i thought maybe you would actually have good taste. Disappointing. The only good ones on your list are eva, shinsekai yori and girl's last tour. Haruhi's movie is decent as well but not quite on that "good" level. The tv series is mostly bad especially that terrible endless 8 part. Made in abyss is an overglorified edgy torture pr0n of little children. The plot is meh at best and its character writing is utter failure.
Mob psycho is a show that had potential but never used it properly. It has serious pacing and structure issues. It wastes a lot of its runtime on meaningless/unsubstantial stuff which means the plot is mediocre for meandering too much. The character writing and development seems to be its appeal/strong point but unfortunately even in that it is very flawed because it repeats the same character beats too much. So what i am trying to say is, it has too much repetition and that makes it easily get stale after a while.
I mean how many times will the show have a story beat regarding mob helping an antagonist learn an emotional lesson in a cheesy way or the opposite, someone else (especially reigen) helping him and returning him to normal when he goes crazy with his powers? There is just not enough meaningful growth, it feels like it goes to square one after every big event. This happens mostly because the series doesn't have enough plot to justify its length. One (the author) is clearly not a plot guy, as seen in one punch man too. His plots are extremely basic and repetitive monster of the week style.
And finally sonny boy, that one is ok too but it gets overhyped by "casual elitists" aka people who are new into arthouse/experimental anime. If those people watched more artsy anime like tatami galaxy, mind game, revolutionary girl utena, texhnolyze, serial experiments lain etc. they would realize that it is in fact not really that special. It sticks out to casual fans because they don't watch that type of anime very often. Its execution is flawed, even if its intentions are admirable and respectable at a time in anime industry where creativity is dead and most studios only make pandering trash and/or anime that already have extremely successful adaptations. The rest of the stuff you mentioned aren't even worth mentioning and some like chuunibyou are straight up laughable choices.
@@kubo-samabanbankai562 Sorry it happened or glad that it did.
@@MangafanPecoraNera Well thank you. Feels nice to be the objectively correct one.

21:52 Fucking hell. . .
Okay. Yeah. Title of the video was accurate. FMA at number 1? More like FML.
The lack of any mecha anime beyond NGE is really weird to me, especially given the 2000's era Toonami influence on the list.
Code Geass was on there too, but definitely agree
the fact that made in abyss is only 21 is a tragedy
Garnt put made in abyss at 28 on his crunchyroll list
I'm just glad it made it onto the list... unlike Steins;Gate 😢
I don't usually comment on this since I don't usually want to start a shitstorm, but I guess it's the day, I recently watched both seasons and I genuinely don't understand why it's regarded as the pinnacle of anime, I mean, I liked the music, even more the visuals, but... the first episodes were a slog and I felt like the good part truly begins with Nanachi... which is 11 out of 13 of the first season, what.
The 3 first episodes takes all the "not-to-do" things that people say about exposition and checks the list, I like Reg and Nanachi, I can't stand Riko nor I understand what's so special about her, the adventure aspect is good, mystery is good, fucked up antagonist is good, setting is awesome, story... I don't know, I tried to like it, and still I have a uneasiness in the back of my mind about some things shown since they are little kids.
Oh, it's not be a killjoy, It's fine if people love it, I just don't think it lives to the standing of the "critics darling" and the issues should be talked about or at least dismissed
You're right. I wouldn't even put it in my top 50
@@VersusThemgood show but ong riko is a shitter
I'm glad Garnt pointed out how much One Piece slowed down. Pre-timeskip pacing felt good. Post-timeskip pacing is such a slog.
If Connor can read Once Piece, it surely cannot be asked too much for Garnt to read/watch FMA(B)
Garnt is doing himself a favor by not wasting his time
Sailor Moon is only an honorable mention?? WTF
Wouldn't deserve to be on the list. It may have big cultural impact, but it's not a top 25 show by any means, similarly to many other 80's and 90's shows.
This list feels like someone discovered anime through Netflix.
For the love of god Garnt it’s nearly 2023, please watch FMAB
Everyone is failing to realize that it's not someone who watched anime in the 2000's , but it's someone who watched anime on Netflix in 2016-2018 and only a couple outside Netflix that was something that they watched because they heard about them from their friend who ACTUALLY watches different anime and gave some personal recommendations
And I guess they threw in a couple to ward off haters (something involving demons or something, I dunno)
“Oxygen overrated” -Enrico Pucci
Bro, you got me speed up dead💀💀💀
I’m genuinely disappointed that the legend of galactic heroes is not in this list. Those 110 episodes deserve to be number 1 or at least in top 3.
You're right. It's a shame it doesn't get the appreciation it deserves.
One of the greatest anime of all time , if not the greatest.
Overrated garbage
@@hydrocy.9165 to simple minded people who need 600 fight scenes and lots of fan service every 10 seconds and don’t have the capacity to understand political debates and philosophies that are covered in the legend of the galactic heroes (1986) Yeah this anime is a overhyped garbage :)
@@mahdi7538 Yes, and that's exactly why this show is garbage
The most hilarious part is that the Gacha game made with Sunrise has a mad scientist make a bunch of clones of Lelouch based on pairings in the R2 timeline. Including Lelouch only son Elzero being a clone of him and Suzaku.
Bros and Sis would come together to watch either Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon they both defined their respective genres since then what the hell did they think greatness means to the anime industry
They really shouldnt put anything that isnt done on a best of all time list especially if it has less than 75% of the story done. Any incomplete show can ruin be ruined and there are few shows so good/iconic that I think they can overcome that. Jujutsu Kaisen, Mushokou Tensei, Kaguya can completely fall apart for one reason or another and I would completely forget they exist outside of just shrugging and feeling bad at wasted potential. Also FLCL deserves to be on the list for soundtrack alone, everything else is bonus
My guess would be Legend of the Galactic Heroes isn’t there because the people putting the list together haven’t seen it. But benefit of the doubt... it’s a list of shows, and technically Legend of the Galactic Heroes isn’t a show, it’s a very long running OVA series. But if it’d played here on TV like a show it’d probably be there.
Given how heavy leaning that list is to Cartoon Network, I’m almost surprised there’s no Lupin the Third or Outlaw Star on there.
One thing I've noticed watching you, Garnt; when it comes to shoujo and josei anime, you and I have very similar tastes. When it comes to shounen and seinen anime, you and I are basically on opposite ends of the planet. XD
I have to say that the English Dub cast for Cowboy Bebop was absolutely amazing everyone can admit they had a dream cast
yeah, it really was a play station for the imagination.
Oda is a fan of Akira Toriyama. In a Jump interview, when asked about his inspirations, he said, "I mirrored many traits and tropes for Luffy off of Son Goku. By far the manga that inspired me the most was Dragon Ball and I think the same could be said for many other mangaka.
Because the Dragon Ball manga is one of the best. Toriyama knows how to draw movement in a comic
I love watching your editors Gundam mad opinions break through every now and then😊
I mean Gundam is the GOAT
21:47 Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same.
Chihayafuru is some of the best character work I've ever seen.
And it looks beautiful too, and the sport aspect is pretty hype.
All I'm gonna say is, a manga/anime based in and draws its lessons from a Japanese word/card game is the ultimate "foreigner alienation" show. You have to be such a nerd in Japanese culture to be able to follow it.
@@joshgallie1543 nah, once you understand the game, its easy to follow. Just learn how Japanese syllables work (they all rhyme so it takes 5 min) and you're good
I would love it if you reacted to Nux Taku's top 50 list. It's a real treat. He's much more old school (bigger list) than his friends, so when their roasts have some legitimate banter between old and new anime fans.
Is that his old list or did he make a new one?
I assume his old, I don’t know if a new one. I have to go google now.
can't wait for Gigguk making another AOT video when the anime finally finished
This reminds me of the writing professor I had in freshman year who chose anime to be the medium for people to write about because it was in season 1 or 2 at the time, and so all the non anime fans watched and wrote about that and then I wrote about Gintama and another person wrote about Devil is a Parttimer and suddenly you could tell who the weebs were
I just watched Baccano first time this week (after rewatching the ancient sub v dub argument from TT) - the non linear timeline and multitude of characters are fukken awesome, feels diff drom 90% of anime. Hidden gem
Garnt needs to just watch fma already when the video "so i finally watched fma" (which is what I fully believe it will be called) drops that shit is literally gonna be peak
Berserk Fans are punching their computer screen as soon as you said "Kirito is the real black swordsman"
I on the other hand believe that Afro Samurai is the real black swordsman
Or Yasuke. The actual real black swordsman
Only problem with this list is that it's the top 25 anime of "all time" list and putting all time really sets you up for failure because there will always be people to disagree and IGN isn't exactly known for good reviews on media.
Mha has always been amazing, ppl say it’s trash mostly bcuz of season 4 and 5, or simply bcuz of the fandom, they can’t give any valid argument on why they are angry at mha and then calling them trash, mha surely has its ups and downs, but it’s still one of the best surprises me and many ppl could have gotten. At this point with so many ppl trashing mha u could call it underrated..
I actually agreed with you. even though I like grant doesn't mean i jump to agreeing everything he said. "it's pretty sad that they trash the one you treasure."
Even now it's still overrated. Only season 2-3 was any good. And nothing about it is special.
@@usucdik The anime and manga are rlly good, but they failed to adapt the anime fourth and fifth season at it’s fullest, season 6 is the reward for going through season 5.
@@usucdik Season 1, 2, 3 and 4 were really good, season 4 it started to fall a bit, but when season 5 came with was just a bad adaptation on most part, season 6 could be the best season yet.
I love how even though he's not a big SAO fan when everyone says SAO he just goes with it lol.
he has watched every sao ever made
Ik AOT gets hate for the ending but it should higher. The story is S tier level with great characters. You can't deny how great the story is even if you don't like the ending. I would also put Demon Slayer in the top 25 because of popularity and animation.
Cool, Demon Slayer should probably be in top 50 though
"because of popularity" ok what lmao, what kinda excuse is that? It's popular thus it should be top 25?
And the problem with AOT ending is that it affects the previous S tier material negatively, and even then a ending is what the entire story leads up to, it's important and if it's bad it does have a big effect
@@goosemannn I can see that
Ya know funnily enough Gigguk, I watched a Glass Reflection video on this list and apparently this is an updated list, there used to be more Shoujo and romance anime on the list, but they were taken off this list... in case anyone didn't know that.
If I'm not wrong, there was not a single movie in this list. No Shinkai, no KyoAni movies, not even a Ghibli title. A list of greatest anime that doesn't feature something like Spirited Away, or Totoro feels incomplete.
Also yeah, the lack of slice of life / romance was annoying, I expected a goliath of that genre like Love Is War to pop up at some point
Fuck Totoro, Nausicaa Valley of the Wind is the real shit.
(I like Totoro, but Nausicaa hit different.)
I think it was supposed to be a list of anime series. Movies would steal at least half of the list.
Since you mentioned Love is War, I think it's overrated. I don't like the fact that there is 0 character progression, it makes the show repetitive.
There is at least 5 rom-coms that would deserve it more.
@@Sukenus I guess as a manga reader I'm biased on LIW since the arcs immediately following where the anime is are really damn good
@@Sukenus It's alright to be wrong.
Better list then expected, if they do a game list it will probably be worse.
