Next please.
35. Azumanga Daioh
One of my favourite school comedies and one which I would always watch when I get a chance to, a perfect cast of characters rounded off by a perfect story.
34. Tenchi Muyo
The godfather of harem anime, Tenchi Muyo was the anime that made me believe there's more to anime than action.
33. Amagi Brilliant Park
The creators of Full Metal Panic prove they are better at comedies, this is definitely how I picture theme park employees.
32. Ex-Driver
This anime is a warning to Elon Musk on what can happen if driverless cars become mainstream. It's also got realistic car drawings which is always a win in my book.
31. Nerima Daikon Brothers
A musical anime with the best dub ever, the creators just said, anything that doesn't make sense translated just put in a sex joke, and it worked. Bloody funny.
Were not far off now, there will be 25 left by the end of the day
40. Inazuma Eleven
A true spectacle of sport, weirdly based on an rpg of all things, Inazuma Eleven takes the high power shots of the game and ramps it up to eleven.
39. Hamtaro
The ultimate safe anime of the late 90s, the little Hamtaro and friends try and solve problems and try and make sense of what their owners are saying.
38. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
With a style no one can equal and one of the few soundtracks reliant on Western music, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is an absolute over the top joy.
37. Air Gear
One of my biggest inspirations for story writing, from the awesome soundtrack to the utterly absurd story, Air Gear is one flying anime.
36. Gundam Seed
It's probably the only Gundam series to really take both the old and new of the franchise and fuse it into one great war epic. Would've been way higher if not for Destiny.
Final post of the day. Stay tuned in the next days for the final forty.
45. Sailor Moon
The most famous magical girl series of all time. It still holds up well, mostly thanks to a redub and reboot. The moon has never looked so bright.
44. Arakawa Under The Bridge
Let it be said that the most interesting people can come from anywhere, even under a bridge in a make shift shanty town that makes FLCL look tame in it's surreal.
43. Ancient Magus Bride
This has all the dramas you could associate with such an intriguing series based on British Folklore but it's real selling point is it's incredible accuracy with it's portrayal of Britain. As a Brit myself that really makes a difference.
42. Moldiver
A geeky way of making superman, mixed in a universe that idolizes the 20th Century. It's rare to see a short series showcase so much in it's limited run but by the end of it you feel satisfied.
41. Summer Wars
The only other movie on this list. An online world is at risk and it's up to Kenji along with Natsuki and her extended large family to stop this threat before it becomes a global catastrophe. Very heartwarming, emotional and a warning of what might happen if we go too digital.
At this point I'm high on caffeine so two more posts before I crash and burn.
50. Lupin III
Everyone's favourite lovable rogue and probably one of the most recognisable faces of classic anime. His antics are the stuff of legends.
49. Hellsing
I have to thank TeamFourStar's abridged version for renewing my interest in this series that sort of stayed stale for a while. Now it's awesome with crazed Catholics, police girls with big cannons and Nazi Vampires vs the might of the British Empire.
48. Happy Lesson
An idea that shouldn't work, a harem where five beautiful teachers decide to mother a delinquent student; funny and charming, not bad for a former hentai game.
47. A Certain Scientific Railgun
A spin off from the Magical Index series, Railgun just focuses on Misaka, one of the most compelling female protagonists of recent years with the coolest super power.
46. Onegai Teacher
A romantic relationship between a student who stopped aging and a half alien teacher develops into one of the most interesting shows about adolescence and the often taboo subject of sex among high schoolers.
And with this post I've just about made my midnight deadline GMT
55. G Gundam
Only Gundam could celebrate an anniversary year by ripping into it's founding robot forefathers. An insanely epic action show with some of the most off the wall mecha stuff you'll ever see.
54. Pumpkin Scissors
Definitely my favourite war anime, a compelling drama showcasing the damaging mental effects of being a specialist soldier and the often wide eyed idealist yet hypocritical aristocracy.
53. Super Sonico
This is how you do an idol anime, make her interesting, make her have relatable quirks and still make her appealing. It's also nice to see a plus size female lead for once.
52. Is This A Zombie
It's a harem yes, but it's quirks other than the fact that the lead is a walking corpse is the slient character Eu who speaks in notes, this backed up by silly fantasies makes it a joy to watch.
51. Digimon
While it makes for a better anime than it's rivals, it's real charm is it's ability to really tackle tough subjects, a rarity in a kids anime and certainly memorable.
