Two Top 5 Anime Lists

[Sauce]

I have two Top 5 lists in my head, both of which have entirely different criteria. Can you spot them on your own?

The first:

  1. Turn A Gundam
  2. Legend of the Galactic Heroes
  3. Giant Robo
  4. RahXephon
  5. Tekkaman Blade

The second:

  1. Eureka Seven
  2. Planetes
  3. Gundam X
  4. Honey & Clover
  5. Seirei no Moribito

The first list shows the kind of stories I love and aspire to write someday(!): intense character dynamics, sprawling worlds of wonder, epic battles on foot and machines, and heartrending rivalries. The second is a list of the most human anime for me. These are the shows that get me through the day and keep me from turning into a misanthropic shithead just by thinking about them. I know it’s a weird criteria, but this list is the main driver for me to watch more anime.

My MAL favorites would be a hybrid of these two lists, based on raw liking alone (#1 is #1 purely because I like it more than #2, and so on).

What do you think?
