HMs I’ve completed
Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism
Rated-8.5
I really enjoyed this series because how Cool I think the MC is, from his personality to his fighting style and special move, all the girls have good chemistry with him and have distinct styles so you can tell them apart
Chivalry of a Failed Knight
Rated-8.5
Similar to previous entry, love the MC, Smooth Bastard with a cool ability, the series tackles romance quite early on, meaning that they can develop chemistry between the 2 main leads, they also tackle Family Drama in a way that actually(1/2)
Chivalry of a Failed Knight cont.
impacts the MC in the series, so whilst unoriginal is interesting, each enemy has very different abilities that can be/do anything, which makes each fight entertaining as hell and not very repetitive.
HM FMAB
8.5/10
Series needs no introduction, the series is very consistent, love the supporting cast in this one, Mustang being an all time favourite of mine, his fights between Envy and Lust being all time favourite moments for me, putting it on the list as an HM
HM Psycho Pass
8.5/10
First Season is a masterpiece, Makishima being one of my all time favourite antagonists and his dynamic with Kogami is one of my favourites in all of anime, as well as this the premise is interesting and i like the Cyberpunk Setting they have going on (1/2)
Psycho Pass Cont.
if this were just the first season it'd be significantly higher on the list, however the seasons following this lower it to an HM for me
50. Ahiru no Sora
8.5/10
Very Simple reason for this one, anime about my favourite sport, love the cast and the struggles they go through and its about a short player that can shoot the ball, which is very relatable to me.
49. Cross Game
8.5/10
Like the MC and his chemistry with the main supporting cast, particularly the main female lead in the series, the show made me cry which gives bonus points, the way that they attempt to deal with said drama is interesting, games are engaging as always
48. Banana Fish
8.5/10
Very Unique Premise that handles very mature subject matters very well, I love getting to see the relationship between the main characters grow as well as the internal conflicts that they go through, plus gotta love a mobster lol
47. Rainbow
8.5/10
Emotional Rollercoaster of a show, you grow to love all of the main inmates as well as seeing their chemistry together, the premise is one that sets up very well for emotional pay off that the show delivers upon excellently, then there is that Opening🤤
46. Bleach
8.5/10
MC feels very human which i really like, Soul Society and Aizen Arcs are probably one of my favourite 2 Arc Stretches in anime, hype moments, amazing fights, love the villains in both, from Renji and Byakuya to Grimmjow, Ulquiorra and Aizen and anyone inbetween
45. Gurren Lagann
8.5/10
like seeing the conflicting view points of the major characters go against each other, love seeing the highs and lows that Simon goes through and how he grows from them, Kamina best bro, they throw galaxies at each other, how can I not love that
44. Oregairu
8.5/10
Hachiman is a great protagonist, it's awesome seeing his mindset slowly change throughout the series and seeing the relationship between each of the girls grow, and each girl is great in their own right, I like who won but Iroha best girl, fuck you fight me
43. Dr Stone
8.5/10
Very Unique Twist on a Shonen, love seeing the science behind stuff as well as actually seeing the repetitions that they go through in order to achieve what they need to, I love Senku as an MC and his personality. 1/2
Dr Stone Cont.
The series was also able to deliver upon emotional moments that aren't just fuelled by character death, although there is obviously one kind of (shout out to best dad in anime) which makes the series particularly impressive to me
42. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K
8.5/10
One of the funniest series I've ever seen, seeing Saiki deal with such situations from ridiculous to mundane with his deadpan expression and delivery as he uses his seemingly infinite psychic powers to sort it out in some way is great 1/2
Saiki K cont.
and of course he is complimented by an equally ridiculous supporting cast that all comes together to be god damn hilarious
41. Durarara
8.5/10
One of the most entertaining shows I've seen, the cast are all so either so ball the wall insane or just entertaining, Izaya and Shizuo's rivalry is hilarious and so is Celty and the Doctors chemistry, Izaya easily one of my favourite characters.
40. Overly Cautious Hero
8.5/10
Comedy Isekai Series in the same vain as Konosuba, I really enjoy Seiya as an MC due to the fact that he slowly starts showing some nuances as the series goes along that I love, find the show really funny and the twist is very well done imo 1/2
Overly Cautious Hero Cont.
and helps very well to explain why Seiya is the way he is whilst also helping to bring some emotional moments into the series that are well paid off.
39. Fairy Tail
8.5/10
I love that series is framed in a way that makes you feel as though you are a part of the guild and their family, makes the series feel very cosy, love every single character including villains, love the magic and the arcs as a whole. 1/2
Fairy Tail Cont.
and the emotional moments that the series presents really hits home because of how much time we spend with them, it is as if witnessing a member of our own family going through that, which is what makes them good.
38. The Fate Franchise
8.5/10
I like how each fate series seems to have a different tone, from Fate Zero to UBW to Heavens Feel to Last Encore and so on, the action is beautifully animated, I love a lot of the characters, from Kiritsugu to Kirei, Lancer in Zero 1/2
Fate Franchise Cont.
to Shirou, Archer, the other Lancer and Gilgamesh in UBW, i really like both of these MCs in particular because of how they think, however Archer and Gilgamesh are definitely my two favourites, because they are badass as fuck
37. Re:Zero
8.5/10
Gonna be honest, this is purely because of S2, they made Subaru grow so much as a character to where you really feel for him during his torturous moments and when he finally breaks down it truly hits you HARD, as well as this the new friends he made in Otto 1/2
Re:Zero Cont.
is a really nice relationship as well as the riddles that Roswaal presents are really interesting to see Subaru try and decipher them as well as their interactions, as well as seeing how Subaru tries to find a solution to his problem is really interesting to see.
36. Kaiji
9/10
The King of Gambling anime, this show excels at making you FEEL the stakes due to the subject matter that it tackles, it makes it so that when you're watching it you feel the flow of Joy when they win and intense dread when they lose, you feel a lot for the MC 1/2
Kaiji Cont.
as well as showing just how ruthless gambling is and also showing you how evil the main antagonist is, but its not just the MC, its everyone that is in that situation with him, you understand their internal conflicts as well, i think this series is really special
35. Toaru Series
9/10
I love the idea of Magic and Religion as well as Espers and Science coexisting together, i also think Touma's power is really cool and kind of unique being limited to only his right hand, Academy City is such an interesting world. 1/2
Toaru Cont.
and is filled with such interesting characters with a ton of interesting abilities, the level system is also very interesting, but between Touma, Accelerator and Sogiita, i simply love how raw this series is with its characters, like that Alchemist Scene man, amazing
34. Space Brothers
9/10
This really is an incredible watch, watching each brother going down their own career paths and how they progress whilst staying brothers, I absolutely love both of their personalities and their relationship with one another is such a joy to watch
33. Jujutsu Kaisen
9/10
Might be mad early to rank it this high but I love every single character relationship in this series, every single character has chemistry with each other as well as the conflict Yuji had to go at the end was amazing to see happen. 1/2
Jujutsu Kaisen Cont.
as they somehow made me really care for Junpei who was only there for a short time, made what happened hit hard for me as well as for Yuji, which is something I wasn't expecting, I also find the idea of Curse Techniques really interesting, hope to see more.
32. Haikyuu
9/10
I like all of the characters in this series it does a great job of building up anticipation and being able to pay them off excellently, Kageyama and Hinata are such a great duo in terms of chemistry, seeing them progress their skills is so rewarding to watch 1/2
Haikyuu Cont.
and when it finally is showed off, you feel so happy for them, new freak quick, Hinata's Receive, you feel what they're feeling at that moment, and you also get like that with every other member of the cast, and I think it is incredible.
31. Code Geass
9/10
Legendary Series, I love Lelouch, from his personality to the fact that they show his interests and who he cares for, and seeing him and change an entire country, I find the Geass to be a really cool power. 1/2
Code Geass Cont.
and then there's the rest of the cast who I find to be really likeable, particularly the females of the series, I really like their chemistry with Lelouch, and then theres obviously the ending, one of the most legendary endings in anime, and I would agree with it
30. Ascendance of a Bookworm
9/10
not much to say about this one, this show is just too wholesome and funny, interesting premise for an isekai and its interesting to see how Myne does things, just a joy to watch everyone.
29. Magic Kaito 1412
9/10
Love Kaito but what really made me love this series is the fact that you just wonder what hes gonna do to get out this time, and its always the most extra thing and i love it, he has so much charisma he really has chemistry with everyone in the show 1/2
Magic Kaito 1412 Cont.
it is especially interesting when he clashes with Conan, as well as all this though is the fact that even as he steals stuff he always goes out of his way to help innocent people and I love that about him and the show.
28. Assassination Classroom
9/10
First Anime to make me cry, and havent cried so much at an anime since, absolutely love Koro Sensei, how hes this monster but he still deeply cares for his kids and his backstory makes you really feel sorry for him even tho hes the bad guy 1/2
Assassination Classroom Cont.
and theres the students i absolutely love the troublesome duo of Nakamura and Karma, as well obviously Nagisa, and the show has fantastic fight animation when it does happen.
27. Beastars
9/10
people commonly mislabel this series as something for furries, it has interesting ideas, all of the worlds characters feel very human with their own shit to do, and it tackles serious topics very well, the conflict in this show is also very interesting to watch.
26. DBZ
9/10
My First Anime ever, I wouldnt be here now if it werent for this show, it also has some of my favourite fights in anime to date, transformations are so cool, am really entertained by a lot of the characters, this is my nostalgia pick, fuck you fight me.
25. Great Teacher Onizuka
9/10
Onizuka is an incredible MC, its amazing to watch him teach his students life lessons, especially with his background, it was such an entertaining show, its just a great, inspirational show, i love it.
24. Promised Neverland
9/10
Best Hook to an anime I've seen in a LONG time, the kind of cat and mouse mind games the kids have to go through to try and outsmart the people who raised them to escape certain death, Isabella is a terrifying antagonist. 1/2
Promised Neverland Cont.
not because shes particularly evil, but because shes so incredibly human and is trying to do what most people would try to do, try to survive, the fact that she had manipulated these kids, like they loved her, its amazing through and through.
23. Yowamushi Pedal
9/10
Cycling Show, such a likeable MC, love almost every most supporting characters, they each have very distinct personalities that you can get behind, also:
hiime hime!! hime!
suki suki daisuki
hime!! hime!! kira kira rin
that is all Thank you hehe
22. Phi-Brain: Puzzle of God
9/10
never been so engaged by solving Puzzles before, everything is so interesting and they somehow gave it very cool stakes, i love the concept of the Orpheus Armband, and theres a really engaging interwoven narrative through all the seasons (1/2)
Phi-Brain Cont.
Love the characters, they each have very entertaining relationships to each other, apart from 1, the MCs Backstory gets expanded upon throughout the series which i think is really nice to see and how his relationships started with the relative antagonists.
21. Kuroko no Basket
9/10
My first sports series, again about my favourite sport, love the Big Bads in this series, Aomine is one of my favourite rival characters in anime, love Kise and Midorima and all the rest of them, welcome in the supers, i absolutely love it 1/2
Kuroko no Basket Cont.
One of the things that i do like is how they explore the relationships between the Miracles, as well as how Kagami isnt immediately able to beat most of them, like his hidden talent had to be awoken p2/3
Kuroko no Basket Cont.
as well as how they built up the rivalry through Kagami whilst still having the existing relationship with Kuroko, making like the rematches with Aomine, Kise and Midorima that much more engaging.
20. Gundam Build Fighters
9/10
Sei and Reiji are one of the most underrated duos in anime, I like how they built up Sei's self confidence for the ending, along with the robot battles being awesome. 1/2
Gundam Build Fighter Cont.
it was also interesting to see that Sei had to adapt his machine to his future opponents whilst the rivals in the show, who are entertaining in their own right, are also doing the same for him.
19. Golden Kamuy
9/10
Talk about being hooked by a premise, this series is so interesting from how its set up, I love Sugimoto, his backstory and how hes actually somewhat based upon a real person, he has such chemistry with all of the cast 1/2
Golden Kamuy Cont.
and I love seeing him interact with each of them a lot and also seeing him learn about the Ainu culture, however each supporting character is great in their own individual way as well, overall just great cooking anime with some action lmao.
18. Black Clover
9/10
Personally wasnt bothered about the animation or Asta's Early voice, so without that im just left with a great show, Elf Invasion probably my favourite new gen shonen arc to date, I love Asta, he has inspired me, gotten me hyped and gotten me emotional 1/2
Black Clover Cont.
I love his rivalry with Yuno and just how much mutual respect and belief they have in one another, which just isnt something you normally see, I like how the progression of magic shown, just learning new spells and then introducing Mana Zone p2
along with this are the characters, they each have their own personalities, problems and relationships, which Asta helps them with and in turn they all help Asta when he needs it, Yami is one of the coolest Mentor characters, i love him, hes so badass
17. Monster
9.5/10
Johan low key carries this series, he's one of my favourite antagonists of all time, he is the result of Tenma's decision and so presents quite an interesting conflict for him, and I just love how smart and cunning Johan is. p1
Monster P2
but along with Johan the supporting cast in this series are incredible interesting and seeing how they interact with each other when not directly involved in the main conflict is what kept me hooked in the show even when Johan wasn't involved, but also made deaths hurt
16. Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans
9.5/10
Love the Mika and Orga Dynamic, love Tekkadan and seeing their rise and fall, I like that the lasting damage... Lasts, I like the whole commentary on the war orphans and how mature these kids are. p1
Gundam IBO p2
I like how we see them make connections in order to grow as a militant force and i like a lot of the characters that they introduce throughout the series, also had some of the most saddening but also most satisfying moments ive seen, if it werent for ending easy 10
15. One Outs
9.5/10
Unique spin on the sports genre, I love Tokuchi as an MC, how smart and how cunning he is, I love to see each game to see what kind of slimy tactic he comes up with and how the opponent intended to make him lose and how he outsmarts them in return.
14. Hunter X Hunter
9.5/10
what I love about this show is just the character relationships, they all feel very real, from Gon and Killua to those 2 and Bisky, Knuckle and Shoot, Meruem and Komugi, and I could go on, and this also makes the emotional moments hit hard. p1
HxH p2
as well as this there is also of course the Antagonists, I really like all the members of the Phantom Troupe and how they treat each other because of their backgrounds and Meruem and how he grows to be more of a person makes him one of my top 3 antagonists ever.
13. World Trigger
9.5/10
Again love the characters, I love how each squad that isnt even focussed on has some personality, Kuga and Jin are 2 of my favourite characters in anime, Trion is one of my favourite power systems due to how much creativity it gives the fights. p1
World Trigger p2
due to just how many different weapons and abilities it gives the characters that they can switch between, as well having stuff like Side Effects and the powerful Black Triggers which really shows in its fights, I love this series.
12. Food Wars
9.5/10
Soma is one of my favourite MCs of all time, he facilitates the most hype moments in the series, I love his cocky attitude, the Food Battles were actually interesting to see how they did what they did and why. p1
Food Wars P2
I also really love all the relationships, Soma and everyone, Erina and Megumo, Tsukasa and Rindo etc etc and i love seeing them interact, along with this Erina's development made her one of my favourite female characters. p2
and seeing her go from this cooking snob, seeing her trauma with her dad and then growing into a happier person and a more complete cook was just a joy to watch happen.
11. Diamond no Ace
9.5/10
again with the trend in this thread, I love every supporting character in this show, every ace pitcher is brimming with personality from Sanada and Mei to Amahisa, but it also extends to everyone else, Kazuya, the 3rd years, Zono, Kuramochi, Haruichi p1
Daiya p2
and its all this personality that makes the emotional moments in the series hit so hard, because we know them, Sawamura and Furuya also share one of my favourite rivalries for the same reason I love Asta and Yuno's.
Daiya p3
I also love all of the new characters they introduce, especially Okumura, I love his dynamic with Sawamura so much, they have so much chemistry.
Daiya p4
then we get to the main man himself, Sawamura, he easily has one of my favourite progressions in anime, seeing him overcome the yipes, develop his own weapon, become reliable, all culminating in the game against Seiho made him one of my favourite MCs.
Daiya p5
so because of that seeing him finally become the Ace makes you feel so happy for him.
10. One Piece
9.5/10
Luffy is such a simple MC but i love him for it, hes so great at being Luffy that im never surprised by anything he does because its always in line with his personality, along with this i love all the crews because theyre all given such amazing backstories p1
One Piece p2
and it makes the emotional moments that they each have just hit that much harder, Luffy putting his hat on Nami, Robin saying she wants to live, entire Whole Cake island Arc for Sanji, Taking all of luffys pain for zoro etc etc they all have their amazing moments p2
not to mention luffy, losing Ace and his crew devastated him and seeing like that, you really empathise with him, along with this, Law being one of my favourite supporting characters and Doffy being one of my favourite antagonists helps the series out a lot p3
Along with this i like the idea of Haki having needed to be trained, it means everyone can be a bit different from each other, this also extends to devil fruits, they allow for such a varied array of powers that make each and every fight very interesting and cool. p4
9. Magi
9.5/10
the characters are phenomenal, are each given development due to the cast being just the right size, the whole concept of Magi, Magoi, Dungeons, Djinns etc has been the most intrigued I’ve been in A power system since World Triggers Trion p1
Magi p2
the battle in this series are beautifully animated, the take on politics in this show is amazingly in Depth, which they didn’t have to do, the world was fleshed out beautifully, from Balbadd to the The Seven Seas Alliance and Kou.
Magi p3
the small side stories we got with each of the main cast really adds to their characters and also show us how expansive the world still is, also has its fair share of BADASS moments, First Class Singularity Anyone😏
8. Yuu Yuu Hakusho
10/10
Yusuke is a BADASS Protag, Genkai one of the best Mentors, Dark Tournament one of my favourite Arcs, love the premise, everyone is brimming with personality, Kuwabara being his good old goofy self we love, Kurama being a cool character with a past p1
YYH p2
and Hiei is just a sick character, Dragon of the Darkness Flame is a really cool technique, and seeing him grow closer to Yusuke is a really nice development as well as his desire to protect his sister is really touching and not something i expected.
YYH p3
Keiko is also a love interest I can really get behind, shes overprotective of Yusuke, but also has her own stuff going on, making her a much better character in her own right.
YYH p4
The World Building is criminally underrated imo, from the spirit world to normal society and then the 3 factions of the demon world and the relationship between the leaders is really fascinating.
YYH P5
the antagonists are also very good, from Toguro and his backstory and abilities to Sensui and being a previous spirit detective being turned provides several awesome dynamics for Yusuke as well as awesome fights i love a lot, all very dynamic
YYH p6 (spoiler)

also the introduction of Demon Energy into yusuke and that twist of his heritage is really cool and how he chooses to start introducing it is very cool and i love to see it as soon as it is introduced.
7. Attack on Titan
10/10
Characters are all good, Erwin is one of the most inspirational bastards in anime and Historia is my girl, Action is all really dynamic with the camera work, i like the titan shifters and titans in general as antagonists. p1
AOT p2
I love how politics is introduced over the titans and Eren and the walls and everything else, liked the switch to Human vs Human conflict and everything like that, and the backstory that is given later on.
AOT p3 spoiler
however despite all of this what I love about this series is its ability to make me think back to previous moments in the seasons or a characters actions, such as with Reiner and Bertholdt and thinking back on everything they did after the incident they caused
AOT p4 spoiler
or in the final season after hearing about the warriors and why they were sent there, what their mission was and what Reiner was like, it completely changes the context of his speech before the reveal of his true identity, i love that because its so rare.
6. Vinland Saga
10/10
Love that the story is about Vikings, love the fight animation specially with Thorfinn fights, Askeladd is my 2nd favourite antagonist of all time, Canute goes through a fantastic development and makes me love him towards the end. P1
Vinland Saga p2 spoiler
and Thorkell is just a legend, I love that Thors has such an impact on the story despite dying so very early on, how his idea of what a true warrior is is shown and talked about the whole show, never have i like a character i have known for so little
Vinland Saga p3 spoiler
as well as this there is the fact that they played up Thorfinns Vengeance and going against what Thors would have ultimately wanted but at the end he doesnt even get the satisfaction that he wants and is told that he has to go out and get a life...
Vinland Saga p4
beyond revenge as he loses his one goal is such a beautiful ending to the prologue, and then theres Askeladd with his backstory and how cunning and smart he is, he is heavily involved in my favourite moment in the series.
Vinland Saga p5 spoiler
from his final duel with Bjorn, his one and only friend and another character i love a lot in the series, to him declaring his right to the throne, killing the king and faking insanity, laying down his life for Canutes cause is just beautiful, Masterpiece.
5. March comes in like a Lion
10/10
Now for the first of the series that just connected with me, seeing Rei struggle with Depression and Family Drama and how he managed to overcome it as the series went on with so many people supporting him, from the 3 sisters p1
3-Gatsu p2
the friends he made learning Shogi as well as his Teacher, seeing him being uplifted just makes me feel a way that not many other series have ever been able to make me feel, it makes me love him as an MC, top 5 for sure
3-Gatsu p3
then we get onto the support character, we have Hina, who is such a ray of sunshine in the series, i love the relationship she and Rei has so damn much, and the bullying arc made me so emotional, and seeing Rei pick her up and make her feel better is so good for him
3-Gatsu p4
and his character, as well as that dinner scene with her Grandpa was so good and i love him and her. then theres the other sisters, who are also very supportive of both of them, Momo is just the cutest, and Akari makes for a great mother figure
3-Gatsu p5
then we get to Nikaidou, someone else i love a lot because of his unique struggles he goes through but how his mindset differs greatly from Rei's as well as how he helps Rei to come out of his shell as well as teach him subtle stuff the other characters dont notice.
but we notice later on, such as how he knew how to deal with Hinas stomach ache because of what he had to do with Nikaidou, overall just an emotional roller coaster.
4. Mob Psycho 100
10/10
This series does the best job of the "hard work over talent" theme that i can think, despite being an all powerful esper, Mob goes out and tries to improve himself in a physical sense and just to become a better person, no matter what he has to do. p1
MB100 p2
such as when he trains to run a marathon and despite falling down he keeps on running or when he joins a body improvement club, he is one of the most inspirational characters ive ever seen, I love him so much and his outlook and wanting to pass it onto his fellow espers
MB100 p3
it is also this motivation that leads him to work for Reigen, a seemingly simple conman who indulges him from when he was a boy, but in reality he has been a great parent figure for Mob, teaching him about life, but its a 2 way relationship...
MB100 p4
as Mob also helps him to also become a better person, one of my favourite supporting characters of all time
MB100 p5
Dimple is also an underrated character for me, starting as a spirit they had to exorcise, he ends up a funny friend to mob, keeps him grounded and true to himself, i dont think he is appreciated enough
MB100 p6
Mob also struggles to keep his convictions to not use his physic powers, from other espers, biggest example being against Mogami, who nearly breaks him and makes Mob like him, but as hes about to break he is saved by his friends which i like quite a lot.
MB100 p7, Lastly the psychic fights are so sick within this series, I love how everything is animated, but it is only a small part, i also love the rest of the supporting cast, from Ritsu to Teruki, so they deserve a mention as well
3. Hajime no Ippo
10/10
Ippo is such a great MC for this series, hes so hard working goes through struggles to where he genuinely considers quitting, which i think is very new and i love that it does this, the comedy in this series is also top notch. p1
Ippo p2
and that comedy is mostly brought on by the supporting cast, mainly Kimura, Aoki and Takamura in tandem with Ippo making you love them anyway even without the development that they are given because of how often this comedy lands.
Ippo p3
however the fights are also an area where the series shines, each rival such amazing characterisations and personality in some way that you feel some kind of strong emotion towards them be it positive or negative, and i mean the sound of jet engines is iconic now
Ippo p4
with Ippos signature Dempsey Roll, but along with this the show has some of my favourite fights in anime, both of Ippos fights vs Sendo, Ippo vs Sawamura, Nao, Date and Volg, Miyata vs Arnie, Sendo vs Shigeta, Takamura vs Hawk and Date vs Ricardo, theyre all so amazing
the series also has other characters i love, the best of which is definitely Umezawa, who has one of my favourite redemption stories ive seen, going from a bully of Ippo's to his biggest supporter, his departure getting me easily emotional, masterpiece of a show
2. Major
11/10
we made it to my infamous top 2, Goro is tied for my favourite MC in the medium because I relate to him so heavily and his struggles, from his cocky attitude to the injuries and having played through them in order to play the sport that he loves, i love him idc
Major p2
first off this series' story is one of a kind, emotion hits and made me cry very early on and we see that same young 6 year old boy grow up to become a Major Leaguer, and played against the one who he views as an idol, its something that isnt done anymore and its a shame
Major p3
This shows cast is also criminally underrated, as along with Goro we have a large number of well developed and realised characters of their own, from his rivals in Sato, Joe Gibson Jr, Mayumura, Jeff Keane and Joe Gibson himself and many more that make up the series'
Major p4
the series' emotional core and they do amazingly as they bounce off of and motivate Goro is such an amazing way at least for me, as well as each and every member of his teams, Roy and Kelogg, Murdock, Sanders, Dunstan and I could go on and on
Major p5
the show then uses these incredible characters to then pull off one of the greatest arcs in fiction in the World Cup arc, amazing progressions, hype games and pure raw emotional moments that have lasting impact on the series for a long time, theres not many arcs like it.
Major p6
The Music in the series is also just top notch, not going too crazy but such simple music was able to really make scenes hit different, partially making my favourite scene in the whole medium, it shouldnt be slept on
Major p7
last but not least we need to talk about said moments, the battle between Joe Gibson Jr. and Goro in the world cup is one of the most emotionally charged moments ive ever seen in anime, its so raw and i love it, as is when Goro comes up and ends the Series in the OVAs
and finally seeing him being a dad with a wife and kids is such a nice feeling because we have seen him grow for so long, but last but not least theres his last duel vs Mayumura in S3, my favourite scene in anime, so i implore you to watch this absolute masterpiece.
1. Gintama
11/10
This and Major got me through a very tough time in my life, this show inspired me, it made me laugh, it made me cry, it got me hyped as fuck, it holds some of the greatest arcs in shonen, has the best cast, who I hold a connection with every single one of them.
GOAT p2
which considering the size of the cast is an achievement that every other series could only dream of doing, has the best antagonists all with sympathetic backstories, Takasugi being my Favourite Antagonist of all time but there is also Oboro, Utsuro and Kamui
GOAT p3
each character hits such emotional points for me that i doubt i would ever be able to forget them, you truly feel like youre a part of the Kabukicho District whilst you are watching this show
GOAT p4
The Female cast in this series is unlike any other in anime, much like the rest of the show, they are each very well developed and realised characters that all have so many moments to shine during the series, Kagura and Nobume being my top 2 female character of all time
GOAT p5
this show also knows how to hit you in the feels whether its to do with the arc conclusions (4D, COAN, Shinigami, SA, FS, SS, Kintama etc.) or during fights or backstories, especially that of Gintoki and the rest of the Joui 4
GOAT p6
however these backstories and such wouldnt hit as hard if the characters werent brimming with personality, Katsura is one of the funniest in the cast, Takasugi and Gintoki's Dynamic is my favourite in fiction and this also goes for characters like ShigeShige and Jirocho
GOAT p7
as well. Gintoki is my other favourite MC of all time, how he forms his attitude is amazingly done and he slips in life advice and quotes into his dialogue as well even when he is being a aloof moron we all love.
GOAT p8
and how his backstory is just slipped to us throughout the story makes us get to know him as a person gradually which imo is better and makes me feel more for him and love him more, whilst also being one of the funniest characters in the series
GOAT p9
however this series is primarily a comedy, but luckily the Comedy in this show is also top notch, the mix of referential humour, Absurd Humour and Straight Toilet humour never failed to have me laughing my ass off, it never misses for me
GOAT p10
Lastly we end with the greatest team in the medium, Yorozuya, these 4 have such chemistry and you can feel just how much they mean to each other, they are family, just as we grow to consider them family, they develop throughout the series more than any other.
there will never be another Yorozuya, nor another Gintama, and id like to thank both right now because both mean so much to me and i owe them both a lot, my goats, Gintoki, Kagura, Shinpachi and Sadaharu and the rest of the phenomenal cast, thank you for the ride of a lifetime.
