Ultimately, the variety of opinions highlighted the diversity and richness of the anime world, where each viewer finds unique connections to different works.
- "The original Legend of the Galactic Heroes saga."
- "It's not a series, it's a movie. I'd say Princess Mononoke would be my favorite of all time to date."
- "Perfect Blue and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, two great films."
- "It's too much to pick just one, so I'd say Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, Sousou no Frieren, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Made in Abyss and Re:ZERO."
- "Fruits Basket, I have no doubt."
- "Mob Psycho 100 is my choice."
- "Re:ZERO and STEINS; GATE, I love time travel plots."
- "Cowboy Bebop would be my immediate choice."
- "I loved Samurai Champloo, too."
- "HUNTER x HUNTER, that's my choice."
- "Hajime no Ippo, definitely."
- "Monogatari Series, especially the second season."
- "Mahou Shoujo, Madoka Magica, and Ashina no Joe share the same position for me."
- "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann for me."
- "ODD TAXI is perfect, I have no doubt about it."
- "Violet Evergarden is easily my choice, both the series and the movie are a masterpiece."
- "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is my favorite anime, but if you talk about something that would touch your soul in more ways than one, it would be Trigun."
- "Haikyuu!, definitely."
- "K-ON!, but that would be my favorite. Hibike! Euphonium, Mahou Shoujo, Madoka Magica, and Sousou no Frieren are other great options."
- "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is probably the best anime I've ever seen."
- "I know a lot of people will criticize that it's a very recent series, but I think I'd say Sousou not Frieren. I was already a massive fan of manga, but anime took my fandom to new heights. After that I'd say Violet Evergarden, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners or Paranoia Agent."
- "Made in Abyss".
- "Shingeki no Kyojin, from start to finish."
- "Monster, Sousou no Frieren, Death Note, and Shingeki no Kyojin. Speaking of movies, Spirited Away and Spirited Away and Moving Castle."
- "To me, it would be Mushishi."
- "CLANNAD, and nothing will make me feel what I felt after finishing the series."
- "Higurashi no Naku Koro nor, I have no doubt."
- "To Your Eternity".
- "Kill la Kill, it's obvious to me."
- "Neon Genesis Evangelion, even though no one seems to mention it."
- "I don't know why, but I've always had a certain attachment to the story of Blast of Tempest. Nothing has been similar for me. I would also mention Problem Children are coming From Another World."
- "Initial D because it teaches people about cars and motorsports."
- "The ones I like the most are Vinland Saga, Sousou no Frieren, Made in Abyss, and many others."
- "If I had to name an entire series, it would be Mob Psycho 100. The animation is one of the best (if not the best), the soundtrack is very hard, and the characters are amazing. It makes perfect use of the medium. On the other hand, if I had to pick just one season, it would undoubtedly be Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 Part 2. It's probably the best episode of the series. It's probably the best media I've ever seen in my life so far."
- "Monster or Cowboy Bebop, I don't know which one to choose."
- "It's hard not to say Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The pacing is fantastic, you have questions all the time, and they give information at perfect times. Other shows that I would consider near perfect or the best would be Monster and Pluto."
- "Monster, no explanation is needed."
- "Ouran High School Club. Not because I think it's a phenomenal story or anything else, but it came at a special time in my life."
