hello everybody.
we are back with list of top ten anime of all time.
the most common (and occasionally the most violent) argument among anime fans is simply
which anime deserves to be called the best of all time, and despite the fact that no
single anime can truly hold the crown forever, that doesn’t stop tempers from flaring and
spit from flying.
But fight amongst yourselves no longer my anime-loving brothers and sisters, I’ve
taken it upon myself to settle this debate once and for all.
Ok, so maybe this list won’t actually prevent everyone from arguing, but let’s focus on
the positives here: each of us loves anime, so let’s momentarily put our differences
aside, come together, and watch the greatest animes to ever be created.
So which animes have earned the distinguished right to be called the greatest of all time?
Here are the 10 anime series that are guaranteed to knock you off your feet, and become a personal
favorite!
So at number ten is 'Monster'.
Dr. Kenzou Tenma is a renowned brain surgeon of Japanese descent working in Europe.
Highly lauded by his peers as one of the great young minds-that will revolutionize the field,
he is blessed with a beautiful fiancée-and is on the cusp of a big promotion in the hospital
he works at.
But all of that is about to change with a grave dilemma that Kenzou faces-one night—whether
to save the life of a small boy or that of the town's mayor.
Despite being pressured by his superiors to perform surgery on the mayor, his morals force
him to perform the surgery on the other critical patient, saving his life and forfeiting the
mayor's.
A doctor is taught to believe that all life is equal; however, when a series of murders
occur in the surgeon's vicinity, all of the evidence pointing to the boy he saved, Kenzou's
beliefs are shaken.
Along his journey to unravel the true identity of his little patient, Kenzou discovers that
the fate of the world may be intertwined with the mysterious child.
another amazing anime - making its way to number nine is Berserk.
Berserk is the first - anime adaptation of the long-running, ongoing seinen manga series
published in the - bi-weekly magazine Young Animal , created by Kentaro Miura in 1989.
While the story in the anime is fairly loyal to the source material, heavy modifications
were made to exclude some of the more graphic depictions of violence, as well as characters
and other content that could not be covered within the length of the anime’s running
time.
These changes were approved by the series creator himself.

recruited by their charismatic leader Griffith, nicknamed the "White Hawk."
As he quickly climbed the ranks in order to become the head of the offensive faction,
Guts proves to be a mighty addition to Griffith's force, taking Midland by storm.

is not as black-and-white as he once assumed.
Set in the medieval era, Berserk is a dark, gritty tale that follows one man's struggle

a small teahouse.
That is, until she accidentally spills a drink—all over one of her customers!
With a group of samurai now incessantly harassing her, Fuu desperately calls upon another samurai
in the shop, Mugen, who quickly defeats them with his wild fighting technique, utilizing
movements reminiscent to that of breakdancing.
Unfortunately, Mugen decides to pick a fight with the unwilling ronin Jin, who wields a
more precise and traditional style of swordfighting, and the latter proves to be a formidable opponent.
The only problem is, they end up destroying the entire shop as well as accidentally killing
the local magistrate's son.
For their crime, the two samurai are captured and set to be executed.
However, they are rescued by Fuu, who hires the duo as her bodyguards.
Though she no longer has a place to return to, the former waitress wishes to find a certain
samurai who smells of sunflowers and enlists the help of the now exonerated pair to do
so.
Despite initially disapproving of this idea, the two eventually agree to assist the girl
in her quest; thus, the trio embark upon an adventure to find this mysterious warrior—that
is, if Fuu can keep Mugen and Jin from killing each other.
Set in an alternate Edo Period of Japan, Samurai Champloo follows the journey of these three
eccentric individuals in an epic quest full of action, comedy, and dynamic sword fighting,
all set to the beat of a unique hip-hop infused soundtrack.

even at the expense of his own body, in the continuation of the saga about the boy who
