I love how this is a top 500 anime list and Joey is like "People must not have read the manga if they got this anime up here". Bro it's an ANIME list 😂
@@pandaeyez So what are we supposed to do? Wait 10 years and only then evaluate Frieren? We evaluate what we currently have and it is currently in 1st place. This list is not eternal
@@pandaeyez This is a favorite list, not a rating list. Frieren S1 was amazing and easy to see why people love it. Same reason Promised Neverland was even in top 500, for its awesome S1
WIth only 2000+ votes, a top 500 is spreading the votes pretty thin. It pretty much makes the distinctions between rankings statistically meaningless, at least at the low end.
I was one of these votes. You could vote for up to 20 anime. You had to rank them as well and the higher the rank, the higher the points it could get. 1st pick was 5 points, 2nd/3rd 4 points, until 10th getting 2 points. Anything at 11-20 gets 1 point.
this is incorrect, nothing is being spread thin at all. This isn't one man one vote, it's "Everyone pick their top 20 and the 500 most highly rated are featured". This list is basically showing the 500 most frequently favorited anime out of a maximum potential 40,000 anime which could have been named by the voters.
@@onijaanjonu3367 Based on the spreadsheet, only the top 6 got any points, so the 500 are based on about 12000 total ranked votes. Which is better than 2000, but still subject to recency bias.
Whenever I see the mostly forgettable & arguably mediocre shows having one person who put it as their all time favorite, it makes me happy. Someone out there found something so deeply resonant in a show that means absolutely nothing to me, and I can't help but appreciate that.
Yeah, and sometimes you like a show for how much it helped you through a certain emotional period of your life, even if objectively it isn't great. And sometimes, you just have weird taste. I think it's beautiful that people can see something so special in the same place others see mediocrity
Mediocrity is mostly someone's opinion anyways, except for cases like Ex-Arm. I dislike Frieren for a variety of different reasons, but others put the show as one of their absolute favorites.
Bruh Joey you literally read that its favorite list not objective rating and are still surprised when you see SoL/Trashy shows higher than "real stories" lol. It seems like you have forgotten who "weebs" are. Of course there are people who enjoy Date a Live more than Howl/Beastars/Little witch lol
I used to agree with him all the time but now I usually disagree with every anime take he has :D (which is totally fine). Bocchi for example is so high because it is so "relatable". If I remember correctly one of the boys said "people like that don nt exist in real life, noone is that cringe". So yeah, that was clearly wrong if you look at the numbers.
Joey watches handful of anime a year and half of them he doesn't even finish, bro doesn't have the authority to talk about anime at all. I genuinely wish he would just ditch anime all together and made manga content cause he clearly is more passionate about it.
@@HyperKryst You don t need to watch anime to have an opinion on them. Especially finishing anime is not required at all. If the 1st like 3 episodes are bad then the whole show is usually bad. Why else would they put their worst quality in the front. Gintama is probably the only one that started bad but is sstill good.
This is a FAVORITE list NOT a list where ppl list which anime is the best. Also Nostalgic bias plays as big of a role as recency bias, so idk why recency bias keeps being brought up when there as much old anime as new anime as well. No hate of course.
@null6406 There are many older series on here with only 1 season or 12-24 episodes. The length of a series does Not determine the quality of a series. Again, this is based on preference, not an objective list. If you say that anime with only 1 season can't be considered, then half the list is gone. While we are at it, remove the movies as well cause its only 1 entry.
@null6406 By this logic, you can’t like a show if you haven’t seen the whole thing. Just because I’ve only watched a few episodes of a show, doesn’t mean I can’t like it or even have it as my favorite
"nostalgic bias plays as much a role as recency bias" On an individual level sure. But when you factor in a ton of fans came into anime after 2019, the bias of people who've only seen newer stuff is definitely stronger
@@Ash_Wen-li Not really. You'll see large turn ups on either side online because the vast majority just simply do not care about Reddit, or YT, or anything else. The voters depending on which site or even subreddit may be different but overall it's about equal.
@@playfulwriter9796 i agree it can be your favorite if you've read the source material. But if not you've not seen how it will turn out, there's 0 way you can form an informed opinion on it. You can definitely like it a lot though. But like Usagi Drop for example, you definitely do not want that as your favorite. This is why you should wait.
As a former Date A Live fan myself, I can tell you that there’s a small group of superfans of the series that basically watch no other anime except Date A Live
Makes sense. :D I was into Date a Live when the first season came out and I was reading the light novel for some time. I laughed when I saw it on the list. I still say that the opening and the atmosphere of the beginning was great.
Yeah honestly, I remember watching the first season of Date a Live back in like my freshman year of high school or sometime around there, and honestly I really enjoyed it. Didn’t really go back to watch the any of the other seasons, but it’s cool see people still enjoy.
I’m saying this now; MARK MY WORDS: I’m gonna watch all of the top 100 favorite Anime (or top 100 MAL) and once I’m done, I’ll do a review and post it somewhere, see you in 5 years
LotGH is not the type of show i would recommend to everyone but would still rather recommend it than Tokyo Revengers. That show is garbage. I read all of Tokyo Revengers out of spite just because my friend wouldnt shut tf up about it. It was a complete waste of time. I remind him how shit the series is every time we meet.
There is no such thing as "too early to decide" when the whole season of Frieren has already aired, man...And it is Madhouse we are talking about; will they really be bothered to do the second season? I guess not.
@@samuraijosh1595 It is not even a slow burner show. It is just an anime that mesmerized you in every episode with the peak aesthetic, character writing, and the dialogue interaction between each character. And did you even watch the first episode, man?? There were so much things happened in just the first half of the episode. Do me a favor and just watch the reaction compilations of Frieren episode, tell me how many reactors cried during that first episode alone, how do you even dare to call it slow when the first episode already made you empathize with the character. Regarding Mushishi, yeah I respect your opinion. Even though I would say that Monster the anime is a true definition of slow burner story. It started slow in the first 20 episodes, and it leads to that iconic scene between Tenma and Johan. Frieren, on the other hand, has no real goal or objective. Yes you can consider ende/reviving Himmel as the 'ending' of her journey. But, the purpose of her journey is actually to know better about human. Therefore, that mage exam was never intended to be the climax of this anime. Regarding to Joey's statement that it is too early to decide that Frieren is the best anime show currently, I think that is just a terrible take. Take Oshi no Ko for example. So many people overrated the heck out of that show during the initial release of the anime. But then after like ep 5 or something, the rating dropped drastically. Frieren has been in the top for months, bro. So, I'll just let the rating speak for the show itself.
@@praf1069 I've watched 15 episodes of frieren so far. I get what it's trying to do. I've watched similar shows like mushhishi and natsume book of friends. The problem with frieren is it's too stale and boring and cliche in some episodes. A slow burner doesn't mean the writing has to be boring. I think frieren deserves to be in top 50, not top 5.
too early to judge where the story goes as it could be a dumpster fire and not land the ending in the manga. Even then the frieren adaption is not that interesting of an story and is carried by the animation and visuals. If this IP was given to any other studio and had weaker production quality no one would bat an eye and it would fall in to "generic fantasy 842". An anime show that should be number 1 on a top list should excel in everything from artstyle, story, animation and music/sound while frieren only does really well on animation since the artstyle is generic and the story is mid.
Man watched only the first season of bungou stray dogs and is judging people who likes the show for all it’s entirety. It’s one thing to have opinions… but it’s other to look down on other people for theirs...
@@shinyanakagawa8241 That's perfectly fine. But if you're bored, and don't mind watching more, it just gets better each season. The 1st season was the weakest, since it really pushed hard to introduce and explain the characters and their whole schtick. The later season just do more interesting things, and go into the backstories of characters.
Joey at the start of the video of top 500 r/anime's Favorite Anime: - Favorite anime is not the same as the best anime Also Joey when there is an anime he does not like on the list or place: - X anime has no right to be on this list/that place!!!!
Yeah I guess he just forgets to say in the beginning it was just his opinion. Like he always does in the past when people are butt hurt. Guess people now are just as bad
>this is not a ranking, there is no best or worst. Just a collection of voted on favorites with no real correlation to quality. Joey: "how could this be higher than that?! it's so much worse than that other thing" bruh
You want him to stare at the list and scroll up? What kind of commentary do you want from someone who's seen a tonne of shows and is reacting and speaking about a literal tierlist
@@ju5tm398 I'd want to either see him not make a video it or not make such hypocritical statements about others opinion in the very intro of the video where he goes against that very same statement. As they say, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
,,Your favorite anime is not the best anime'' That's true......so why did you forget about it a minute later and you're rating it as a ranking list? This is a list of people's favorite anime, and not everyone has watched all the anime. You keep asking questions "Why is it higher than this one?" I don't know, maybe it's because the person hasn't watched the second title? Have you thought about it? I won't even mention how irritated I was with your approach to the slice of life anime. Is it so hard for you to understand that people might prefer pleasant and ordinary anime instead of complicated stories? Is it so difficult? I don't know how old you are, but you act like a child in this video who doesn't accept any other approach to anime
Yeah lol, man forgot who weebs are. Of course a weeb will like DAL more than Howls/Beastars/Little witch. Joey just had to say stuff for the video, since its really not possible to comment on a favorites list other than "People really love CGDCT huh". This wasn't an objective rating list
@@OskarL47 that’s true. I watched both and I found that Bocchi was a better told story. I don’t really have a preference for genre, but I would have not thought to make the comparison until Joey brought it up.
so what was he supposed to do ? actually going by that makes the video pointless . was he supposed to look at every anime and be like,"yeah , thats enjoyable" . like wat . obviously the point of the whole video was judging the anime taste like said in the beginning itself . half of the comments are the same shit smh
yeah Berserk 97 was solid, sure it's not as good as the manga, but Joey said it shouldn't even be on top 500?! That's crazy, I think maybe he's getting mixed up because of how bad the 2016 anime was.
@@thomasffrench3639 that's a good point. I haven't seen even 200 anime yet, but I have seen a lot of the anime on this list, and Berserk 97 still easily clears like 75% of them haha
@@brandonismyfoe2 I think yeah it’s fair to have a sample size of like 200-300 or something and if it’s in certain percentile, then you can make a reasonable guess where it would land.
21:17 GOLDEN KAMUY. YES. the fact that it's at 105 brings me joy and sets the world right. more people should watch it. it's so good, I'm so glad it's recognized here!!!
@@mongeneral05 yeah, and it's such a shame too... the series has well executed themes, a great story with a solid sense of escalation and tension, parallels between a lot of the characters, which are well utilized to convey cohesive messages, excellent symbolism... there's a ton to dig into, but nobody in the west really gives it the time of day. ;_;
@@dvast I know filler was a big problem with anime back then, but the core anime by itself is good. If 4K Media actually cared about how everyone sees the anime (which is basically the core of the brand) they'd release a Yu-Gi-Oh Kai or something.
@@XTornado8198 How I look at it is that fillers you can skip and shouldn't be considered in the rating, but more like bonus material on the anime that you can choose to watch. What often are the issues with long running shows is the pacing being so slow, and there are so many great shows that deserve to be higher on the list.
Mushoku Tensei definitely deserves to be in the Top 15. At least for me. Its the best Isekai Anime with ReZero and one of the Best Anime/Novel ever produced imo
The best Isekai is by far Juuni Kokuki. Almost every "new" isekai are bad. re zero and mushoku are kind of okay but nothing amazing. I think it's really made for random otakus which aren't really critical about what they are watching.
@@LamperougeCC I think I know that better than you. Juuni Kokuki I've by far the best world building I've seen in an anime Isekai, it uses far better the fact that it is an Isekai than the other + it's far more original on the cultural aspect being inspired by old China. Also there is no ridiculous harem interactions and the story feels more deep and mature. Re:Zero is probably in my top 5 anime Isekai but he does have a lot of flaws that most of the new era have. And Mushoku Tensei isn't well written anime wise. It feels random but well animated even though it's superior when it compares to most of isekais animes.
I think it's alright for a favorite list. It's not an objective ranking or anything. Just what anime people like so I'm not surprised to see many slice of life and Iyashikei or just CGDCT being very high up.
Depends on the criteria ofcourse. It is very good, but its technically "just another isekai". When it was written it was amazing but the anime released after the big trash-isekai-incident. Now most of its ideas seem stale. It is amazing how it manages to be this unique despite those "facts". Joy clearly likes his deep intellectual anime. So Mushoku with its obvious themes (as a shounen is supposed to) is just not appealing to him (a now grown adult). Doesn t stop me though (a "grown adult")
@@satoutatsuhiro866 As a middle-aged male, myself: The world of Mushoku Tensei is the most interesting part followed by the characters and then the drama. If you're unable to get into the lore of the universe then you're definitely missing out on most of the series' appeal.
@@eyevouWell, I think people have a lot of problems with MT, because no matter how good the anime is, the novella is still an order of magnitude better. Both from the point of view of the banal context for some of the characters' actions and from the point of view of Lore.
The main issue is that people can only vote for things that they're familiar with. Some people have limited exposure to anime and give a strong bias to the most popular anime. There are also people who have recently gotten into anime and don't have strong opinions about anything except what they've seen recently (which often but not always means popular anime). Older anime fans are more likely to be a bit more willing to give props to older anime, but they too fall victim to nostalgia glasses - and older anime fans might not be up-to-date with anime, making them less likely to even be on r/anime in the first place. All-anime-watching-Andys might be the most able to rank things accurately, but they're relatively rare and were limited to picking their top 20 just like everyone else. While it's admirable that they tried to give weighting to the top 20 shows people picked, it's not nearly enough to give proper weighting for shows that are universally well-regarded (top 100) but don't have diehard followings. Notably, this list is strongly affected by a sort of popularity feedback loop (which MAL somewhat mitigates with its weighting system). A lot of people who start dabbling into anime will almost always start with the most popular series, so a lot more people will be voting for those series compared to things that aren't popular. This gives a much higher weight to popular anime and a lower weight to well regarded but lesser known anime. MAL is different from the list in the video in the sense that even if most people are limiting their anime viewing experience exclusively to the most popular series, less popular series still get relatively accurate ratings based on those who have watched them - as long as there are no bad actors bombing the ratings. Popular series don't suffer as much from rating bombs because a few 1s in a sea of 7s, 8s, and 9s will do little to change the score. In contrast, a pond of 8s, 9s, and 10s can easily be weighed down by a few 1s. I'd like to think they do try to discount malicious 1s with their weighting system by discounting ratings that fall outside of the standard deviation of a score that is heavily concentrated at the top end, but it's doubtlessly impossible to give an accurate score to everything. With that said, it was never going to be possible to create a ranking with a consistent approach to scoring, whether it's MAL or not. People can only vote for what they're familiar with, and people's tastes change over time. Things that they rate highly at the age of 15 would receive a lower score from them at 30 if they were to rewatch it, but ironically nostalgia glasses tend to make scores inflate rather than go down. This is an issue that affects even MAL, and it's not going to change since zombie ratings from old fans will live on in their ranking system, giving inflated scores to things that might not hold up to today's standards. But perhaps that's fair if the goal of giving a rank to something is to indicate the impact an anime had on the culture rather than the value one would receive from watching it today. Perhaps that's the crux of the issue. What is the purpose of a ranking? If we can't even agree on that, then we can't agree on what deserves to be ranked highly. And if we're not concerned about maintaining the legacy of anime that we look upon fondly with nostalgia but wouldn't hold up to the scores we originally gave them, then perhaps a ranking system needs to allow for the decay of old ratings based on the time that has passed since it was rated - with only those that have had a strong lasting impression continuing to be ranked highly. But if that's what we're after, then the issue of this list being affected by recency bias and nostalgia glasses isn't so bad after all. Maybe it's accurate in its own way. I just wonder if having an ongoing voting process would help. If everyone was given two votes - to give -1 to an anime you think is overrated, and to give +1 to an anime you think is underrated - the list would doubtlessly look a lot different. If each vote could be withdrawn (removing the -1 or +1) and then re-used (to give the -1 or +1 to another anime), the ranking would shift over and over. You might find that the list eventually settles on an order that promotes less objectionable choices (well liked series without many detractors) and punishes more objectionable choices (series that are very popular but have many detractors).
I am rather curious why is that? Yes, it was enjoyable, but there are a lot of anime like Bocchi and it isn't anything groundbreaking. So what causes it to be in your top 10?
@@songschannel9059 so idk about groundbreaking or anything like that, but for me I found the depiction of anxiety through the various wild styles of animation to be some of the most relatable content around anxiety I've ever seen. Obviously it's exaggerated but , for example, the idea of someone turning to dust and dying because their bangs were brushed away exposing their face was both, to me, hilarious and relatable. There's certainly more to why I love the show, but that is the first thing that comes to mind. Also just to be clear Joey can hate it if he wants, he def has that right, I just don't get the hate lol
I wouldn't even be mad if bocchi replaced EVA's spot. EVA is by far the most overrated show up there. Doesn't deserve the top 10 whatsoever. Istg as someone who has watched a lot of classics EVA is nowhere near as good as people preach it to be
Ngl seeing some really underrated shows pop up, making you happy they get some recognition is much more enjoyable than Joey's straight up repetitive commentary imo
Golden Time is 1000 times better than Fire Force. The problem with many of these anime lists is that incredible shows are shoved to the bottom because everyone watches the popular shounen. The shounen is good, but people need to watch more anime in other genres. Kaguya-sama is my favorite anime so seeing it in the top 10 makes me so happy. I recommend it to a lot of people who watch anime and many don’t even know what it is. Makes me sad.
He often posts collabs and japan-related content on his main channel because he puts alot more work into em and they get more views while he usually just talks into the camera about a topic on this channel. Not just that, Anime content is just so widely available that aside from Garnts seasonal rundowns and scripted essay-style vids, theres not much specific anime-related content that gets alot of views. Chris and Connor have both said it too that theres so much untapped content available in Japan and making vids of that and posting on the more relevant channel is probably a better decision overall.
I'm glad people are still loving Bocch after more than a year. Still resonates with people including me. This is a "favorites" list, right? Not the best anime. So it makes sense why most of the users voted these.
Frieren is like Violet Evergarden for me. It's a really beautiful solemn show that's dragged down by the fact that it's an anime. I just personally think anime doesn’t lend itself well to the subtle emotional maturity those shows try to represent. Frieren is plagued by fantasy and game tropes from japanese pop culture like the original party consisting of a hero, a warrior, a mage and a priest, the simplistic and arbitrary magic system which seems almost divinely powerful at times and useless at others, and so on. Frieren is all about emotion but all immersion is ruined for me with all the incredibly on the nose pop culture references and the dull unoriginal humor. There are also the pointless shonen battle scenes. To me Frieren seems like it would he an amazing live action HBO series, but as an anime its torn between its hyperbolic and humoristic origins and the solemn tone it's aiming at. It almost feels like the author wanted to make an emotionally mature show but their editor said "no you need to add action scenes, and this kind of humor and these kinds of references or no one will be interested", which just detracts from the experience overall.
It surprises me Joey glanced over Chihayafuru. Started it recently, and it's a lot of fun to watch. Though I didn't expect it to be so high, since it feels relatively underground
I remember Joey saying that he loves Chihayafuru and that it's really fucking good, go through his anime man videos i think it was one of the myanimelist ones
I love how joey skipps over all the yaoi and shoujo xd 23:30 Joey seems not to realize, that ppl vote for the anime not "manga" or something xd The Anime of Horimiya was rly good for example, and its only one season plus an "extras" season, so it didnt reach the lull most of my fav arent even on the list xd rip
I was so excited for him to talk about Banana Fish, but he just skipped it. And he barely talked about Yuri on Ice which was literally one of the most influential anime of the 2010s.
Yeah generally speaking male anime fans either act like shoujo and yaoi don't exist or worse they bash those series. At least Joey mentioned Rose of Versaille and Revolutionary Girl Utena lol
The first season of Sousou no Frieren is the closest thing to a perfect anime I have ever seen. It elevates the source material to a fun and ridiculous degree.
Your Saying Frieren is Better than Aot , HXH, Vinland Saga, One piece, monogatari , Evangeline, Made in Abyss, Monster. Fk no , yes Frieren is Awesome but the only anime close to perfection is Attack on Titan.
Yeah but this is a reddit vote. The anime sub reddit is much more actively engaged in any anime that are airing and a bit less biased towards mainstream/popularity. Altho ofcourse there is a lot of overlap too (like AOT). 86 was a big hit there.
r/anime LOVED 86. Lena's been a very high seed in the Best Girl bracket since she was first eligible. also casuals largely didn't take the time to vote in this, so it was mostly regulars who visit the subreddit at least several times a week. I think, too, 86 got a major boost from the movie-level production values of the delayed final two episodes, which lingered in people's minds.
As someone who loves both K-ON! And Bocchi the Rock, I've overanalyzed the shit out of both shows. And I'd actually say Bocchi does a lot of things better than K-ON, and yes, I do think it's slightly better. Top 20 however???? Yeah I agree that's probably too high.
Yeah, people like to say K-ON is about eating cake, but the show really would benefit from having more focus on the music, the band playing for Azusa was one of the best moment imo.
Honestly, Joey gives too much credit on K-On. Just like he said about Horimiya effect, most charm K-On has, besides the music, just get boring through age.
@@ShotterGames That's the whole point of the show. K-on is about taking things easy and enjoying the journey, rather than taking things to serious. K-on is an iyashikei show not a ganbatte show.
Its because he is trying to move away from the being known as "TheAnimeMan" and trying to build up the joey bizinger personality but he also knows that 9/10 people only watch him for his anime content (be it good or bad) so he puts it here to bring traffic to this channel instead..
@@JPCollectables but what I'm saying is if he's trying to build up Joey Bizinger then why is he uploading this on the Joey Bizinger channel? Wouldn't it make more sense to upload it on the anime man channel? Also he acts like the anime portion of his career was some messed up part of his life lmao he acts like its some traumatic part of his life that he wants to get away from. He could still upload anime content if he wants to idk why he's thinking so hard about it.
@@philo2189 yeah it sounds redundant. Trying to seperate yourself from the anime channel by uploading anime content.. But he is well aware thats what gets him views so he continues to make said content and upload it on the Joey channel to get the view/subs up here.. Really he just want to be known as Joey instead of the anime man (which is fair) but being the anime man is what got him where he is and he doesn't really have much else to offer in the content creator space imo and no offence.. Like who is Joey Bizinger without The Anime Man...?
@@JPCollectables Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think people should be limited to 1 channel and youtube should retool the algorithm to not fuck over channels for having a variety of content
Hard to make content 24/7 , read manga and then also watch the anime of it. I feel like most people have the Joey experience where their anime-watchspeed goes down to a crawl.
@@satoutatsuhiro866 yeah but that doesnt mean he has to put down everything he doesnt watch especially since he used to be the guy telling people to be open minded and watch newer and different types of shows and niches and to not be biased but now he doesnt even watch any anime and still makes vids on them without info
Bocchi is a fun, lighthearted and uplifting anime that also has the music, animation, direction, and themes to resonate with big parts of the fanbase. It 100% makes sense for it to make it this high up on a "favorite anime" list, even if it could be argued to be lower on a "best anime" list.
It's a popularity contest afterall, #42 for a SoL anime that's almost 10 years old is really really good. The discussion on the rewatch/current threads is always a pleasure to read, there's no short of people in the community who loves it.
Joey never fails to say some of the dumbest shit.. How are we supposed to take the opinions of someone whos favourite shows more often then not focus on the lives pre-pubescent school girls seriously..
It's already been proven that Joey lies about havibg watched anime to act like he can form an opinion on them, so pretty much every single one of his takes, especially on newer anime, should be taken with a grain of salt at best.
As someone who thinks LOTR is top tier movie-making, if not THE best movie trilogy of all times, I do believe that Frieren deserves that No.1 spot, regardless of recency bias. It's THE best fantasy anime ive ever watched, THE best anime of its genre for sure. Whether you think it deserves no.1 anime of all time would then depend on what your favourite genre is. Because if your fav genre is romance, you wouldnt think AOT or One piece or FMAB are No.1 animes of all time. If your fav genre is isekai, you'd agree that Mushoku tensei deserves that high spot. If your fav genre is mecha, you'd think Code Geass should be no.1 All these shows have different genres, some are so different from one another that they shouldnt even be comparable in 1 list, but Frieren is not only the best in its category/genre, it's also flawless in a multitude of criterias/categories; its character dynamics have so much heart and humor and realism, its characters tehselves each hold so much depth, its world building hold no plot holes, its so fluid and makes so much sense, its story/show form of adventure-esque episodes amidst the larger plot is brilliantly, enjoyably done. The pacing is like a movie, the music is a masterpiece in itself with Evan Call making it 2 years in advance, and 2 whole years of production time, beautiful animation and voice acting; what more could you ask for? It's so hard to objectively criticise Frieren as a show, be it in terms of story-writing or story-telling techniques or its various components in its production; hence its no.1 spot as a perfect show so far.
8:25 yeah my reactions the same Goblin Slayer deserves to be a lot higher. 27:22 I haven't watched MIA or Gintama but Mushoku tensei is ABSOLUTLY better than re zero and ESPECIALLY Gurren lagan.
I don't get Joey hype for code Geass sure top 50 I can even see top 20 but top 15 WTF lol code Geass shouldn't be that and he complains about bocchi bocchi is easily on code Geass level I know it's hard to compare very different genres but I can hardly tell any flaws with bocchi considering what it was trying to be as a show code Geass on the other hand has many questionable mistakes that you need to simply turn off your brain and pretend it's ok just so you can keep going with the story Bocchi at least doesn't make any significant basic mistake that damages the watching experience of the 12 episodes
Code Geass is still quite beloved by many people despite all its flaws and last airing 16 years ago. Bocchi should be up there too but its also pretty recent.
@@kingsironix8805and I don’t get it. Sure it’s super entertaining, but it’s nowhere near the best. Although I can totally understand it being your favorite
@@thomasffrench3639 It's not my favorite, but for sure in my top 50. Also watched it for the first time this year. With my rating style, it's an 8.5(S1) and 9 (S2). Bocchi is a 9.
He hasn't rewatched it. He still thinks it's as good as he remembers it from when he was a teenager. This is also the same guy that will say "X hasn't aged well" despite not having rewatched it either.
Josee, the Tiger and the fish it's not only my favourite anime movie but also one of my favourite anime in general (it's in my top 5 for shure). It's absolutely shocking that no one talks about it. This movie deserves so much more recognition.
For the most part it goes like this: "Oh, 'insert show Joey likes' is here? I was expecting it to be higher! Has the same amount of votes as 'insert another show Joey likes'? That's good. But it also has the same number of votes as 'insert show Joey dislikes', sooo yeah..."

Yeah that's what i hate about joey any mid 2000 anime is a masterpiece any good new anime is trash and doesn't deserve any popularity just because it wasn't lucky enough to get an anime earler
Yeah, but it is a very old anime. I'm not saying that just because its old, I'm saying that because the directing and editing is really old and didn't age that well. For fans though, that will probably be a part of the charm. But for newer audience will just be an obstacle to overcome.
wild that it was a favorite of joey's mum tho bc if i'm remembering right isn't this like. the "content warning: everything" manga. not that i'm saying mums/moms can't like stuff like that or that she wasn't young too once but it does perhaps explain a few things abt his ability to read the wildest shit without flinching
I mean My Dress Up Darling first season is finished why would anyone still be talking about it? 90 percent of the anime on this list that joey likes no one talks about anymore lol. Thats just normal things come and go and something new comes out and people move on.
MT absolutely shits on Re:Zero, what are you smoking? In fact, it should have been higher. Greatest anime ever (not by my opinion, but by undeniable fact): 1: FMA:B 2: AoT 3: MT 4: Spirited away 5: Kaguya-sama 6: Frieren 7: Vinland Saga After this it becomes harder because we've basically ran out of absolute masterpieces. In fact, the others are: 8: TBD 9: TBD 10: TBD
I was so judgemental before I watched it, because I was like 'it's probably just ridiculously overrated, there's no way it's actually this good'... Yeah, no, I think it's genuinely the best anime of all time. I could not stop watching after episode 3, I was so hooked.
@@username_kk2177 Counter point I found it extremely stale and boring. I forced myself to watch and even then I had to take week long breaks to watch 2 more eps. After watching like 10 eps I could not torture myself more. It was that bad and I wanted to like it but that show is just big pile of nothing.
just love the fact that maison ikkoku made it to top 500, absolute Takahashi sensei classic that isn't talked about much now like her other works unfortunately
I disagree man, fruits basket was incomplete, Maison ikkoku wrapped up in the perfect way,while I agree it deserves some recognition in this era, doesn't have to be a remake, I personally don't want the new cringe self proclaimed WEEBS to absolutely butcher the fandom of this masterpiece of an anime, maybe an ova of after story like the pachinko animation is a better approach,but there is no need to touch the original, it's perfect as it is, I may be yapping a lot, but this anime just has a very special place in my heart and I personally don't want it to get ruined. I'd rather gatekeep than let it get ruined.
Maison Ikkoku is my favorite story ever, glad it was on the list atleast. Honestly i don't think it needs a remake at all. The art and animation is very beautiful, the voice acting is great, the adaptation is almost perfect expect a few left out chapters from the manga, but still perfect. Its a perfect anime that doesn't need a remake imo.
@@baeberI like Eva cause when I watched it I was kinda in a shit mental state, so it was nice to kinda project myself onto Shinji/give myself a definitive reason to be depressed. I get that Eva’s not for everyone and I’m kinda happy about that. You shouldn’t be relating to Shinji.
I don’t think it’s objectively a top 10 show since it over complicates things which could’ve been portrayed better. However a lot of people who enjoyed it are the ones who could relate with characters and morals rather than the plot itself. I hated it when I first watched it too but later found myself understanding things which I failed to see initially.
All my favs made to top 50 Furuba, NGE, Hibike, 3-gatsu, Yorimoi, FMAB, Bocchi (yes it's top 4 of all time sorry Joey) Special mention for Liz and the Blue Bird for 97th place (my favorite anime movie ever)
You're right. 1st place votes get 5 points as you could vote up to 20 anime. So 1st place votes for steins gate is 28% of its total points. Pretty cool
86 was beautifully directed (episode 7, 22 and 23 being mind-blowing imo), the music was incredible, the sound design and the cgi were very good for an anime. Then all the other things are personal preference that you can't really argue, but yeah that is what people see in 86.
@baeber u have been saying that on multiple comments, saying 86 is mid but bocchi is good on 12 is fucking wild, personal fav just bc it shows a girl with social anxiety and u can relate with her? and somehow good humor? Ur bar is set way too low, the music is 27:57 garbage, the op is mid and the characters are not that likeable, the characters design is basic af.
Whenever you start talking about non non biyori, you only say it's cute. I get the feeling you never actually watched it and only talk about your feeling of previews and pictures. I mean yeah, 86 is too high but still
Bro just skipped Macross, Space Battleship Yamato, Heartcatch PreCure, Tomorrow’s Joe, and Gundam shows? C’mon Joey, I thought you were an anime fan, and these are bigger and better than Hellsing Ultimate
I love bocchi but place code geass above it code geass is definitely my favorite. I respect your opinion though I think it's a good one especially for discussion
@@songschannel9059 I prefer coherent stories over ones that have contrivances like Lelouch loosing his memory and skipping like 10% of the story between season 1 and 2.
I do think a caveat with Frieren being number 1 is that it actually is it has relatively low in the number of people who view it as their #1-3 favorite anime. However, it, by far, dominated the #4-20 favorite anime. What probably happened was a lot of people, when thinking of what to fill out their list after their top favorites, chose Frieren as it was the most recent high quality anime series they could remember. Obviously, there are still a lot people who viewed it as a their absolute favorite (like me) but it’s wide appeal combined with recency bias means that it gained a lot of points in its favor.
I love how this is a top 500 anime list and Joey is like "People must not have read the manga if they got this anime up here". Bro it's an ANIME list 😂
Well its similar to Frieren, its not finished so its overrated too early. The anime that havent adapted the manga yet may be too early rated.

WIth only 2000+ votes, a top 500 is spreading the votes pretty thin. It pretty much makes the distinctions between rankings statistically meaningless, at least at the low end.
I was one of these votes. You could vote for up to 20 anime. You had to rank them as well and the higher the rank, the higher the points it could get.
1st pick was 5 points, 2nd/3rd 4 points, until 10th getting 2 points. Anything at 11-20 gets 1 point.
It is even low by r/anime standards. During best girl contests (Holo should win by the way) votes are several times that.
It’s all statistically irrelevant.
this is incorrect, nothing is being spread thin at all. This isn't one man one vote, it's "Everyone pick their top 20 and the 500 most highly rated are featured". This list is basically showing the 500 most frequently favorited anime out of a maximum potential 40,000 anime which could have been named by the voters.
@@onijaanjonu3367 Based on the spreadsheet, only the top 6 got any points, so the 500 are based on about 12000 total ranked votes. Which is better than 2000, but still subject to recency bias.
Whenever I see the mostly forgettable & arguably mediocre shows having one person who put it as their all time favorite, it makes me happy. Someone out there found something so deeply resonant in a show that means absolutely nothing to me, and I can't help but appreciate that.
And having see a list/number of people who also resonated with the anime you liked is just warming to see.
Yeah, and sometimes you like a show for how much it helped you through a certain emotional period of your life, even if objectively it isn't great. And sometimes, you just have weird taste. I think it's beautiful that people can see something so special in the same place others see mediocrity
Mediocrity is mostly someone's opinion anyways, except for cases like Ex-Arm. I dislike Frieren for a variety of different reasons, but others put the show as one of their absolute favorites.
@@oni9670I liked Ex-Arm

Typical Joey, he's just an obnoxious brat. Sigh..
Him putting down Date a Live makes even less sense when he doesn't mind To Love Ru, the bias is insane.
Maturing is realising Joey has the worst anime takes
I used to agree with him all the time but now I usually disagree with every anime take he has :D (which is totally fine).
Bocchi for example is so high because it is so "relatable".
If I remember correctly one of the boys said "people like that don nt exist in real life, noone is that cringe".
So yeah, that was clearly wrong if you look at the numbers.
On the other hand at least he has decent reasons for his opinion.
If he has not seen Frieren he would be justified assuming recency bias.

Joey watches handful of anime a year and half of them he doesn't even finish, bro doesn't have the authority to talk about anime at all. I genuinely wish he would just ditch anime all together and made manga content cause he clearly is more passionate about it.
@@HyperKryst You don t need to watch anime to have an opinion on them.
Especially finishing anime is not required at all. If the 1st like 3 episodes are bad then the whole show is usually bad. Why else would they put their worst quality in the front.
Gintama is probably the only one that started bad but is sstill good.
Bro: for some reason you can't have an opinion in anime community
Also bro: WHO EVEN WATCHES THIS SHIT? ARE YOU NEW TO ANIME!?
That's why 😂
This is a FAVORITE list NOT a list where ppl list which anime is the best. Also Nostalgic bias plays as big of a role as recency bias, so idk why recency bias keeps being brought up when there as much old anime as new anime as well. No hate of course.
@null6406 There are many older series on here with only 1 season or 12-24 episodes. The length of a series does Not determine the quality of a series. Again, this is based on preference, not an objective list. If you say that anime with only 1 season can't be considered, then half the list is gone. While we are at it, remove the movies as well cause its only 1 entry.
@null6406 By this logic, you can’t like a show if you haven’t seen the whole thing. Just because I’ve only watched a few episodes of a show, doesn’t mean I can’t like it or even have it as my favorite
"nostalgic bias plays as much a role as recency bias"
On an individual level sure. But when you factor in a ton of fans came into anime after 2019, the bias of people who've only seen newer stuff is definitely stronger
@@Ash_Wen-li Not really. You'll see large turn ups on either side online because the vast majority just simply do not care about Reddit, or YT, or anything else. The voters depending on which site or even subreddit may be different but overall it's about equal.

There is no such thing as "too early to decide" when the whole season of Frieren has already aired, man...And it is Madhouse we are talking about; will they really be bothered to do the second season? I guess not.
I hate that. It's been half a year already, that's enough time.
its not that good. its too much of a slow burner sometimes. Mushishi is even more slow than frieren and yet is even more engaging.
@@samuraijosh1595 It is not even a slow burner show. It is just an anime that mesmerized you in every episode with the peak aesthetic, character writing, and the dialogue interaction between each character. And did you even watch the first episode, man?? There were so much things happened in just the first half of the episode. Do me a favor and just watch the reaction compilations of Frieren episode, tell me how many reactors cried during that first episode alone, how do you even dare to call it slow when the first episode already made you empathize with the character.
Regarding Mushishi, yeah I respect your opinion. Even though I would say that Monster the anime is a true definition of slow burner story. It started slow in the first 20 episodes, and it leads to that iconic scene between Tenma and Johan. Frieren, on the other hand, has no real goal or objective. Yes you can consider ende/reviving Himmel as the 'ending' of her journey. But, the purpose of her journey is actually to know better about human. Therefore, that mage exam was never intended to be the climax of this anime.
Regarding to Joey's statement that it is too early to decide that Frieren is the best anime show currently, I think that is just a terrible take. Take Oshi no Ko for example. So many people overrated the heck out of that show during the initial release of the anime. But then after like ep 5 or something, the rating dropped drastically. Frieren has been in the top for months, bro. So, I'll just let the rating speak for the show itself.
@@praf1069 I've watched 15 episodes of frieren so far. I get what it's trying to do. I've watched similar shows like mushhishi and natsume book of friends. The problem with frieren is it's too stale and boring and cliche in some episodes. A slow burner doesn't mean the writing has to be boring.
I think frieren deserves to be in top 50, not top 5.
too early to judge where the story goes as it could be a dumpster fire and not land the ending in the manga. Even then the frieren adaption is not that interesting of an story and is carried by the animation and visuals. If this IP was given to any other studio and had weaker production quality no one would bat an eye and it would fall in to "generic fantasy 842". An anime show that should be number 1 on a top list should excel in everything from artstyle, story, animation and music/sound while frieren only does really well on animation since the artstyle is generic and the story is mid.
Man watched only the first season of bungou stray dogs and is judging people who likes the show for all it’s entirety. It’s one thing to have opinions… but it’s other to look down on other people for theirs...
I think he said he only enjoyed season 1 no? Kinda same here tbh. That dazai(or whatever that guy's called) solostory was unbearable to watch for me.
S1 was fine, I enjoyed it but I won't bother with the sequels. It is just that type of show.
@@shinyanakagawa8241 That's perfectly fine. But if you're bored, and don't mind watching more, it just gets better each season. The 1st season was the weakest, since it really pushed hard to introduce and explain the characters and their whole schtick. The later season just do more interesting things, and go into the backstories of characters.

When it was written it was amazing but the anime released after the big trash-isekai-incident.
Now most of its ideas seem stale. It is amazing how it manages to be this unique despite those "facts".

The main issue is that people can only vote for things that they're familiar with. Some people have limited exposure to anime and give a strong bias to the most popular anime. There are also people who have recently gotten into anime and don't have strong opinions about anything except what they've seen recently (which often but not always means popular anime). Older anime fans are more likely to be a bit more willing to give props to older anime, but they too fall victim to nostalgia glasses - and older anime fans might not be up-to-date with anime, making them less likely to even be on r/anime in the first place. All-anime-watching-Andys might be the most able to rank things accurately, but they're relatively rare and were limited to picking their top 20 just like everyone else.
While it's admirable that they tried to give weighting to the top 20 shows people picked, it's not nearly enough to give proper weighting for shows that are universally well-regarded (top 100) but don't have diehard followings. Notably, this list is strongly affected by a sort of popularity feedback loop (which MAL somewhat mitigates with its weighting system). A lot of people who start dabbling into anime will almost always start with the most popular series, so a lot more people will be voting for those series compared to things that aren't popular. This gives a much higher weight to popular anime and a lower weight to well regarded but lesser known anime.
MAL is different from the list in the video in the sense that even if most people are limiting their anime viewing experience exclusively to the most popular series, less popular series still get relatively accurate ratings based on those who have watched them - as long as there are no bad actors bombing the ratings. Popular series don't suffer as much from rating bombs because a few 1s in a sea of 7s, 8s, and 9s will do little to change the score. In contrast, a pond of 8s, 9s, and 10s can easily be weighed down by a few 1s. I'd like to think they do try to discount malicious 1s with their weighting system by discounting ratings that fall outside of the standard deviation of a score that is heavily concentrated at the top end, but it's doubtlessly impossible to give an accurate score to everything.
With that said, it was never going to be possible to create a ranking with a consistent approach to scoring, whether it's MAL or not. People can only vote for what they're familiar with, and people's tastes change over time. Things that they rate highly at the age of 15 would receive a lower score from them at 30 if they were to rewatch it, but ironically nostalgia glasses tend to make scores inflate rather than go down. This is an issue that affects even MAL, and it's not going to change since zombie ratings from old fans will live on in their ranking system, giving inflated scores to things that might not hold up to today's standards. But perhaps that's fair if the goal of giving a rank to something is to indicate the impact an anime had on the culture rather than the value one would receive from watching it today.
Perhaps that's the crux of the issue. What is the purpose of a ranking? If we can't even agree on that, then we can't agree on what deserves to be ranked highly. And if we're not concerned about maintaining the legacy of anime that we look upon fondly with nostalgia but wouldn't hold up to the scores we originally gave them, then perhaps a ranking system needs to allow for the decay of old ratings based on the time that has passed since it was rated - with only those that have had a strong lasting impression continuing to be ranked highly. But if that's what we're after, then the issue of this list being affected by recency bias and nostalgia glasses isn't so bad after all. Maybe it's accurate in its own way.
I just wonder if having an ongoing voting process would help. If everyone was given two votes - to give -1 to an anime you think is overrated, and to give +1 to an anime you think is underrated - the list would doubtlessly look a lot different. If each vote could be withdrawn (removing the -1 or +1) and then re-used (to give the -1 or +1 to another anime), the ranking would shift over and over. You might find that the list eventually settles on an order that promotes less objectionable choices (well liked series without many detractors) and punishes more objectionable choices (series that are very popular but have many detractors).
The purpose is to show the general opinion of the anime subreddit. That's all it is.
The bocchi hate is wild, def one of my top 10 lol
I am rather curious why is that? Yes, it was enjoyable, but there are a lot of anime like Bocchi and it isn't anything groundbreaking. So what causes it to be in your top 10?
@songschannel9059 it doesn't to be "groundbreaking" it just have to be enjoyable, compared to "a lof anime like Bocchi" like tou mentioned.
@@songschannel9059 so idk about groundbreaking or anything like that, but for me I found the depiction of anxiety through the various wild styles of animation to be some of the most relatable content around anxiety I've ever seen. Obviously it's exaggerated but , for example, the idea of someone turning to dust and dying because their bangs were brushed away exposing their face was both, to me, hilarious and relatable. There's certainly more to why I love the show, but that is the first thing that comes to mind. Also just to be clear Joey can hate it if he wants, he def has that right, I just don't get the hate lol
I wouldn't even be mad if bocchi replaced EVA's spot. EVA is by far the most overrated show up there. Doesn't deserve the top 10 whatsoever. Istg as someone who has watched a lot of classics EVA is nowhere near as good as people preach it to be
Having it above shows like Code Geass, Made in Abyss, and Monster is wild though
I love how Joey completely forgot that this list is not indicative of how good a show is but rather the subreddits favourite anime 😂
Like he forgot why he said i apreciate he said that as an Asterix at the beginning 😅
Ngl seeing some really underrated shows pop up, making you happy they get some recognition is much more enjoyable than Joey's straight up repetitive commentary imo
yes watch Mononoke the horror show
Golden Time is 1000 times better than Fire Force. The problem with many of these anime lists is that incredible shows are shoved to the bottom because everyone watches the popular shounen. The shounen is good, but people need to watch more anime in other genres.
Kaguya-sama is my favorite anime so seeing it in the top 10 makes me so happy. I recommend it to a lot of people who watch anime and many don’t even know what it is. Makes me sad.
I just like fire force for the sick ass amvs
I love how Joey has The Anime Man channel, and then uploads an anime list reaction to his second channel. Never change Manga Lad, never change.
He often posts collabs and japan-related content on his main channel because he puts alot more work into em and they get more views while he usually just talks into the camera about a topic on this channel.
Not just that, Anime content is just so widely available that aside from Garnts seasonal rundowns and scripted essay-style vids, theres not much specific anime-related content that gets alot of views. Chris and Connor have both said it too that theres so much untapped content available in Japan and making vids of that and posting on the more relevant channel is probably a better decision overall.
My favorite anime (3-gatsu) is number 26. I count it as a win!
I'm glad people are still loving Bocch after more than a year. Still resonates with people including me.
This is a "favorites" list, right? Not the best anime. So it makes sense why most of the users voted these.
Frieren is like Violet Evergarden for me. It's a really beautiful solemn show that's dragged down by the fact that it's an anime. I just personally think anime doesn’t lend itself well to the subtle emotional maturity those shows try to represent.
Frieren is plagued by fantasy and game tropes from japanese pop culture like the original party consisting of a hero, a warrior, a mage and a priest, the simplistic and arbitrary magic system which seems almost divinely powerful at times and useless at others, and so on.
Frieren is all about emotion but all immersion is ruined for me with all the incredibly on the nose pop culture references and the dull unoriginal humor. There are also the pointless shonen battle scenes. To me Frieren seems like it would he an amazing live action HBO series, but as an anime its torn between its hyperbolic and humoristic origins and the solemn tone it's aiming at. It almost feels like the author wanted to make an emotionally mature show but their editor said "no you need to add action scenes, and this kind of humor and these kinds of references or no one will be interested", which just detracts from the experience overall.
It surprises me Joey glanced over Chihayafuru. Started it recently, and it's a lot of fun to watch. Though I didn't expect it to be so high, since it feels relatively underground
He glanced over a lot of peak anime. Maybe because he didn't disagree with the placement so he had nothing to say.
I remember Joey saying that he loves Chihayafuru and that it's really fucking good, go through his anime man videos i think it was one of the myanimelist ones
I was expecting him to talk about it, but founding chihayafuru recognition is good to see
Mushoku Tensei Slander is Crazy. He hasn't even seen the majority of it.
Made in abyss is thousands times better than that mid show lol
@@kingdoom5022 like both prefer MT.
He still hasn’t seen second half of S1 lol
I love how joey skipps over all the yaoi and shoujo xd
23:30 Joey seems not to realize, that ppl vote for the anime not "manga" or something xd The Anime of Horimiya was rly good for example, and its only one season plus an "extras" season, so it didnt reach the lull
most of my fav arent even on the list xd rip
I was so excited for him to talk about Banana Fish, but he just skipped it. And he barely talked about Yuri on Ice which was literally one of the most influential anime of the 2010s.
Yeah generally speaking male anime fans either act like shoujo and yaoi don't exist or worse they bash those series. At least Joey mentioned Rose of Versaille and Revolutionary Girl Utena lol
@@Amaling- Was Sailor Moon on there and did he talk about it?
@@Goleon He mentioned it briefly before he went to talk about the glorious battle shonens. sigh
@playfulwriter9796 oh you don't want to know his opinion on Yuri On ice... lmao he almost got cancelled in 2016 for it 😂
The first season of Sousou no Frieren is the closest thing to a perfect anime I have ever seen. It elevates the source material to a fun and ridiculous degree.
I've watched so many anime for the last decade and a half, and Frieren is easily in my top 3 if not #1. It really is a masterpiece
@@garretttank1711 nah, mid story shouldn't be near top 100
@@Jekiterio personally i wouldn't place frieren in even top 5 but it is a very good fucking show and the fans aren't very toxic atleast for now
Its great but insanely overrated with how people're treating it
Your Saying Frieren is Better than Aot , HXH, Vinland Saga, One piece, monogatari , Evangeline, Made in Abyss, Monster. Fk no , yes Frieren is Awesome but the only anime close to perfection is Attack on Titan.
I am eighty six fan but lol I am a confident jjk has more exposure than eighty six so it is surprising to me.
Yeah but this is a reddit vote. The anime sub reddit is much more actively engaged in any anime that are airing and a bit less biased towards mainstream/popularity.
Altho ofcourse there is a lot of overlap too (like AOT). 86 was a big hit there.
@@Tiasungthey also like Hidden Inventory over Shibuya which is insane. Although maybe being a manga reader played into that
@@thomasffrench3639I'd actually agree with them. Shibuya is great, but Hidden Inventory is just as good. The only downside is that it's short.
r/anime LOVED 86. Lena's been a very high seed in the Best Girl bracket since she was first eligible. also casuals largely didn't take the time to vote in this, so it was mostly regulars who visit the subreddit at least several times a week. I think, too, 86 got a major boost from the movie-level production values of the delayed final two episodes, which lingered in people's minds.
I too was suprised, but I'm glad it is where it is!
As someone who loves both K-ON! And Bocchi the Rock, I've overanalyzed the shit out of both shows. And I'd actually say Bocchi does a lot of things better than K-ON, and yes, I do think it's slightly better.
Top 20 however???? Yeah I agree that's probably too high.
Yeah, people like to say K-ON is about eating cake, but the show really would benefit from having more focus on the music, the band playing for Azusa was one of the best moment imo.
Honestly, Joey gives too much credit on K-On. Just like he said about Horimiya effect, most charm K-On has, besides the music, just get boring through age.
@@ShotterGames
That's the whole point of the show.
K-on is about taking things easy and enjoying the journey, rather than taking things to serious.
K-on is an iyashikei show not a ganbatte show.
@@ShotterGames k-on isn't a music show, it's a slice of life show with music in it. It could've been about anything and people would still love it
@@standheaykic66 hrm, I don't know, I know for a fact that I would NOT have liked K-On if I watched it when I was younger....
I don't understand why you never put anime content on your anime channel.
Its because he is trying to move away from the being known as "TheAnimeMan" and trying to build up the joey bizinger personality but he also knows that 9/10 people only watch him for his anime content (be it good or bad) so he puts it here to bring traffic to this channel instead..
@@JPCollectables but what I'm saying is if he's trying to build up Joey Bizinger then why is he uploading this on the Joey Bizinger channel? Wouldn't it make more sense to upload it on the anime man channel?
Also he acts like the anime portion of his career was some messed up part of his life lmao he acts like its some traumatic part of his life that he wants to get away from. He could still upload anime content if he wants to idk why he's thinking so hard about it.
@@philo2189 yeah it sounds redundant. Trying to seperate yourself from the anime channel by uploading anime content.. But he is well aware thats what gets him views so he continues to make said content and upload it on the Joey channel to get the view/subs up here..
Really he just want to be known as Joey instead of the anime man (which is fair) but being the anime man is what got him where he is and he doesn't really have much else to offer in the content creator space imo and no offence..
Like who is Joey Bizinger without The Anime Man...?
@@JPCollectablesit really does feel like Joey is entering his career mid life crisis the more you think about it
@@JPCollectables Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think people should be limited to 1 channel and youtube should retool the algorithm to not fuck over channels for having a variety of content
Oh man, I've watched most of this list. A lot of variety which is good. Always great to see FMA and Monogatari still being loved.
Joey dunking on anime he hasn't even watched fully and isekai shows in general and saying they don't deserve their spot will always be hilarious

@@satoutatsuhiro866 yeah but that doesnt mean he has to put down everything he doesnt watch especially since he used to be the guy telling people to be open minded and watch newer and different types of shows and niches and to not be biased but now he doesnt even watch any anime and still makes vids on them without info
@@lakshaygupta1164 well, the view engagement was increased quite a bit by it. So I guess he was right to do it that way.
The Bocchi disrespect is crazy.. if anything it should be higher than 12th...
Nah, it's chilling in 12.
Im a bocchi fan, and 12 is an excellent position considering its a CGDCT genre. Although I think Konosuba should be higher than Bocchi tho.
@@Porchy. unfortunately, it should be #1 because I am biased
Bocchi is a fun, lighthearted and uplifting anime that also has the music, animation, direction, and themes to resonate with big parts of the fanbase.
It 100% makes sense for it to make it this high up on a "favorite anime" list, even if it could be argued to be lower on a "best anime" list.
Its recency bias, no denying it. I would rather take watamote over bocchi since atleast watamote is self-aware its trying to be cringe.
@@Jekiterio Say what you want, it still won't change the fact that this genuinely resonated with so many people.
@@Jekiterio Bocchi is not trying to be cringe.
Am just so freaking glad that Monogatari Series & Madoka Magica is in Top 10 😭🙌
I'll preach for Hibike Euphonium until the day. It deserves higher than 44
It's a popularity contest afterall, #42 for a SoL anime that's almost 10 years old is really really good.
The discussion on the rewatch/current threads is always a pleasure to read, there's no short of people in the community who loves it.
Bro skipped all the Fate series lol
I was gonna say the same thing xD haha. We need Garnt over here
Joey never fails to say some of the dumbest shit.. How are we supposed to take the opinions of someone whos favourite shows more often then not focus on the lives pre-pubescent school girls seriously..
It's already been proven that Joey lies about havibg watched anime to act like he can form an opinion on them, so pretty much every single one of his takes, especially on newer anime, should be taken with a grain of salt at best.
ah yes redditors and infatuation with underage girls, amirite? 😭
10:30 absolutely BASED! Gosick is my favourite show of all time
As someone who thinks LOTR is top tier movie-making, if not THE best movie trilogy of all times, I do believe that Frieren deserves that No.1 spot, regardless of recency bias. It's THE best fantasy anime ive ever watched, THE best anime of its genre for sure. Whether you think it deserves no.1 anime of all time would then depend on what your favourite genre is. Because if your fav genre is romance, you wouldnt think AOT or One piece or FMAB are No.1 animes of all time. If your fav genre is isekai, you'd agree that Mushoku tensei deserves that high spot. If your fav genre is mecha, you'd think Code Geass should be no.1
All these shows have different genres, some are so different from one another that they shouldnt even be comparable in 1 list, but Frieren is not only the best in its category/genre, it's also flawless in a multitude of criterias/categories; its character dynamics have so much heart and humor and realism, its characters tehselves each hold so much depth, its world building hold no plot holes, its so fluid and makes so much sense, its story/show form of adventure-esque episodes amidst the larger plot is brilliantly, enjoyably done. The pacing is like a movie, the music is a masterpiece in itself with Evan Call making it 2 years in advance, and 2 whole years of production time, beautiful animation and voice acting; what more could you ask for? It's so hard to objectively criticise Frieren as a show, be it in terms of story-writing or story-telling techniques or its various components in its production; hence its no.1 spot as a perfect show so far.
8:25 yeah my reactions the same Goblin Slayer deserves to be a lot higher.
27:22 I haven't watched MIA or Gintama but Mushoku tensei is ABSOLUTLY better than re zero and ESPECIALLY Gurren lagan.
I don't get Joey hype for code Geass sure top 50 I can even see top 20 but top 15 WTF lol code Geass shouldn't be that and he complains about bocchi bocchi is easily on code Geass level I know it's hard to compare very different genres but I can hardly tell any flaws with bocchi considering what it was trying to be as a show code Geass on the other hand has many questionable mistakes that you need to simply turn off your brain and pretend it's ok just so you can keep going with the story
Bocchi at least doesn't make any significant basic mistake that damages the watching experience of the 12 episodes
Code Geass is still quite beloved by many people despite all its flaws and last airing 16 years ago. Bocchi should be up there too but its also pretty recent.
@@kingsironix8805and I don’t get it. Sure it’s super entertaining, but it’s nowhere near the best. Although I can totally understand it being your favorite

How is blue period 430 the manga was better but the manga was also really good
Josee, the Tiger and the fish it's not only my favourite anime movie but also one of my favourite anime in general (it's in my top 5 for shure). It's absolutely shocking that no one talks about it. This movie deserves so much more recognition.
For the most part it goes like this:
"Oh, 'insert show Joey likes' is here? I was expecting it to be higher! Has the same amount of votes as 'insert another show Joey likes'? That's good. But it also has the same number of votes as 'insert show Joey dislikes', sooo yeah..."
What does it even mean that it's too early for Frieren to be number one? Am I supposed to lie about my favorite show because it's new?
I think Dumas in the Count of Monte Cristo actually laughed at this, with Edmond commenting that the painting were "bad" because they haven't yet grown old.
yeah its too early bro....there are 35000+ shows in MAL...I don't think frieren should be in #1 it is very good but not no.1

Yeah that's what i hate about joey any mid 2000 anime is a masterpiece any good new anime is trash and doesn't deserve any popularity just because it wasn't lucky enough to get an anime earler
Rose of Versailles is a very well regarded show, so I’m not surprised that r/anime likes it.
Yeah, but it is a very old anime. I'm not saying that just because its old, I'm saying that because the directing and editing is really old and didn't age that well. For fans though, that will probably be a part of the charm. But for newer audience will just be an obstacle to overcome.
wild that it was a favorite of joey's mum tho bc if i'm remembering right isn't this like. the "content warning: everything" manga. not that i'm saying mums/moms can't like stuff like that or that she wasn't young too once but it does perhaps explain a few things abt his ability to read the wildest shit without flinching
I mean My Dress Up Darling first season is finished why would anyone still be talking about it? 90 percent of the anime on this list that joey likes no one talks about anymore lol. Thats just normal things come and go and something new comes out and people move on.

About Frieren. Finished or not it's already better than most series out there, so rating it highly makes perfect sense.
I was so judgemental before I watched it, because I was like 'it's probably just ridiculously overrated, there's no way it's actually this good'...
Yeah, no, I think it's genuinely the best anime of all time. I could not stop watching after episode 3, I was so hooked.
@@username_kk2177 Counter point I found it extremely stale and boring. I forced myself to watch and even then I had to take week long breaks to watch 2 more eps.

9 fight scenes
9.5 animation
9.5 story, plot
9.5 soundtrack

just love the fact that maison ikkoku made it to top 500, absolute Takahashi sensei classic that isn't talked about much now like her other works unfortunately
Maison Ikkoku is a series that absolutely deserves the remake treatment fruits basket got
I disagree man, fruits basket was incomplete, Maison ikkoku wrapped up in the perfect way,while I agree it deserves some recognition in this era, doesn't have to be a remake, I personally don't want the new cringe self proclaimed WEEBS to absolutely butcher the fandom of this masterpiece of an anime, maybe an ova of after story like the pachinko animation is a better approach,but there is no need to touch the original, it's perfect as it is, I may be yapping a lot, but this anime just has a very special place in my heart and I personally don't want it to get ruined. I'd rather gatekeep than let it get ruined.
Maison Ikkoku is my favorite story ever, glad it was on the list atleast. Honestly i don't think it needs a remake at all. The art and animation is very beautiful, the voice acting is great, the adaptation is almost perfect expect a few left out chapters from the manga, but still perfect. Its a perfect anime that doesn't need a remake imo.
Bocchi is one of the most overrated anime tbh...i agree with you animeman
"who could hate Neon Genesis" Me, I hate Evangelion.

@@baeberI like Eva cause when I watched it I was kinda in a shit mental state, so it was nice to kinda project myself onto Shinji/give myself a definitive reason to be depressed. I get that Eva’s not for everyone and I’m kinda happy about that. You shouldn’t be relating to Shinji.
Bro doesn’t appreciate top tier filmmaking that hasn’t been matched in the medium
I don’t think it’s objectively a top 10 show since it over complicates things which could’ve been portrayed better. However a lot of people who enjoyed it are the ones who could relate with characters and morals rather than the plot itself.
I hated it when I first watched it too but later found myself understanding things which I failed to see initially.
I don't hate Eva, but I do agree that Lupin should be higher.

I'd say my top 5 are (In no particular order) Violet Evergarden, Death note, Angel beats, Toradora, and then either Kaguya-Sama or Onimai.
Pretty based the only one I haven't really watched is angel beats
Bocchi the Rock is definitely better than Code Geass. Code Geass has a mess of a story and Bocchi the Rock is great
Kinda apple and oranges but I agree I feel like bocchi is more valuable than Geass
@@tpsam I wasn’t the one who brought it up lol.
I love bocchi but place code geass above it code geass is definitely my favorite. I respect your opinion though I think it's a good one especially for discussion
@@thomasffrench3639bro is high there is no way people with this opinion exist
@@songschannel9059 I prefer coherent stories over ones that have contrivances like Lelouch loosing his memory and skipping like 10% of the story between season 1 and 2.
I do think a caveat with Frieren being number 1 is that it actually is it has relatively low in the number of people who view it as their #1-3 favorite anime. However, it, by far, dominated the #4-20 favorite anime. What probably happened was a lot of people, when thinking of what to fill out their list after their top favorites, chose Frieren as it was the most recent high quality anime series they could remember. Obviously, there are still a lot people who viewed it as a their absolute favorite (like me) but it’s wide appeal combined with recency bias means that it gained a lot of points in its favor.
