My Top 100
Anime
A living ranking of the anime series that stayed with me. The Top 20 are handpicked canon. Everything below can move when a rewatch hits differently, a sequel lands, or a new challenger refuses to leave my head.

The sacred twenty
Handpicked favorites
Ranks #1–20 are purely personal favorites. Attachment, impact, and staying power beat the spreadsheet here.
The full board
Ranks 21–100
#21–30 is the wildcard zone: preference or MAL score can decide. From #31 onward, ranking follows my personal MAL season-average, with ties preserving the previous order.

My running reactions to the list: praise where it deserves flowers, side-eyes where a rank makes me squint, and rewatch candidates that could cause future chaos.
Re:Zero at #1: no objection. At this point the throne has paperwork.
Fairy Tail at #5: this is where the list stops pretending to be a consensus ranking and becomes unmistakably yours. I respect that.
MHA at #9: bold placement, but your season scores actually support it. This is not a nostalgia-only promotion.
Given at #14: above Hunter x Hunter and JJK is spicy, but it perfectly proves that emotional impact beats prestige on this list.
Clannad: After Story at #19: my biggest side-eye. For something you hold that highly for story, a rewatch could make this rank very unstable.
The obvious court appeal. A rewatch could either rescue it dramatically or confirm the fall.
This feels low compared with how strongly you talk about it. Worth re-testing with fresh eyes.
That peak-to-current gap is enormous. Either the shine faded or later seasons deserve another hearing.
Perfect nostalgia stress test: does it still hit, or was younger-Mark doing some of the scoring?
