Gigguk REACTS to Reddit's Top 100 Anime

[@newbie4789]

Okay. Reddit feels like a community with biases and opinions yet watched a lot of anime. It's a great list. Didn't disrespect any classics while also having interesting and unique picks and clear, human biases. The list ain't pretentious, newbie pleaser or niche genre simp.

Overall, I have to agree. But some of the placings, though...

2 Ghibli masterpieces being sandwiched between Symphogear and Railgun is peak reddit

[@DavisBrown-fm3dj]

Railgun is fantastic though. Sure it isn’t as good as those Ghibli films since they are some of the finest in the medium but it’s certainly a great show and one of the best battle shounen (not that the competition is very strong).

[@Lucario6804]

@@DavisBrown-fm3dj This and people have to understand that these votes are heavily based on how big the fanbases are. Something with multiple medias like Railgun will obviously beat out Perfect Blue because that many more people have seen it and are still active in the fandom. I can guarantee that most people that have seen both perfect blue and railgun would go for perfect blue because it's a masterpiece.

[@pougetguillaume4632]

@@Lucario6804 also there seemed to be an anti movie bias, by that i mean people probably didn't register movies as proper anime and didn'tvote for them as a result. You can count on the fingers of 2 hands the number of movies in this top 100

[@pougetguillaume4632]

It's no surprise garnt and r/anime seem to align, r/anime specifically is filled with old timers who remember when haruhi was the new hot stuff. There's always that thread once a week of someone saying "hey guys i found this underated anime called claymore" and everyone just kinda look at the guy funny followed by either "fuck i'm old" or "dude claymore was NOT underated you just don't remember it". Rest of reddit is very hit or miss (mostly miss) but if you want genuienly good discussions and recommandations r/anime is a really good place to go. I actually find it better than most other plateforms because the brainrot and long term memory loss isn't as bad as it is on other plateforms like discord, twitter or god forbid youtube comments. Also being better than ign or crunchy is a real low bar to clear

[@Tatersalad666]

March Comes in Like a Lion is one of those shows for me that I can re watch over and over again and get something more out of it each time. It is such an incredible masterpiece of emotional storytelling. It is an anime that builds slowly over time until you find yourself completely swept up in it. I think if you go in with an open mind and not expecting it be a high octane action anime you will enjoy it. The best way I can describe it is as a quietly intense character drama with the ability to both melt your heart from how wholesome it is, and to bring you to tears, sometimes in the same episode. I don't know how far Garnt got into it, but I hope he watches the rest someday because it is every bit the masterpiece that people say it is.

Its literally just torture porn to try to get you to feel like you empathize with Subaru.

@@kenshin1368 Everything you say is wrong, but do i even need to explain when you didn't watched the show? You copy pasted this into other comment and got destroyed in under 1 hours. RafaelSouza-om1mx: @kenshin1368 Damn, you really have not paid attention at all to the show, either that or you just went into it with premade notions and didn't really watch it. Subaru is one dimensional...? Subaru never gives up because he loves a lifeless doll? There is an entire episode with Subaru pouring his heart out and trying to runaway and give up everything. Its 26 minutes of dialogue in which he talks about how he hates himself and that everything that he has been doing os far is nothing but a mask he is wearing, trying to convince himself that he is not that shitty brat that he thinks he is. Did you skip this episode or just turned off your brain? A perfect maid...? I guess you mean Rem? Where is she perfect? She is depicted as a very flawed person, who suffers deeply from self-depracation, low self-esteem and thinks of herself as nothing but a replacement. She suffers from survivors guilt due to her sister having lost her horn while protecting her. And even after Subaru manages to help her overcome that (partially), she then clings to him, instead. Where is she perfect? Just because you projected her as your perfect waifu, doesn't mean she is perfect, you just have zero capability of analyzing a character. Magical Mansion? The Mansion isn't magical at all, is just a normal building, another proof you watched it with both eyes closed. Immortal Loli who loves books...? Beatrice is not immortal, she actually wanted to die and actually DID DIE in an episode (killed by Elsa), so how is she immortal...?!?!?! She just can't kill herself, which makes her fate much more depressing. A lifeless doll with a cat...? Emilia is much more than that, she suffered racism and prejudice for her entire life, she got ostracized in a forest with the other elfs and is often a victim of assassins. Despite all of that, she still tries to look at the bright side of life. She could have become the evil Witch that everyone claims her to be, but she pushes herself and tries to be better because she wants to save her family, te people frozen in the forest. But yeah, I guess she is just a lifeloss doll doing nothing all day. Another shitty take of you just projecting what you believe, instead of actually seeing what the characters are. You are wrong even in the 7 deadly sins, since we've seen 9 (all 7, plus Vanity and Melancholy). And still, the original 7 didn't seem like the antagonists (the witches). Want an adivce, bro? Keep watching Demon Slayer or JJK, that way your lack of braincells won't affect your enjoyment.

And even though Joey said he still loves the latest developments, the boys seem to not take his words literally since Joey always likes things the "general audience" disapproves, so there's always an asterisk to his likes and dislikes. People will go on to praise Usagi Drop anime by completely cutting out the manga, but for Oshi no Ko its "well the manga tho..." (even tho most people never read the OnK manga). Somehow, cute girls doing cute things ranks higher in many people's list than a well written story with good characters.

No one get married, no kids, no new jobs. They just age. It doesn't feel like a real world. 2. All characters emotional state seem to be the same like they are just one person acting as different characters. They all talk in similar tone, pace, and calmness.

The Good Ol' Madoka PTSD still haunts the Anime Community As it seems 🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥 (Laughs in pain as it haunts me too ☠)

86 on 28 definitely not too high. A bit but it is at least top 40. The amount of depth on the story and other stuffs like direction and script writing made it special. It have a different vibe that most anime failed to produce. Each episode felt like cinema. It's not hot take but it's a fact.

Didn't watch the video yet, but 86 on 28 seems way to low lmao. It should be top 10 or 15 at least.

[@morpho_01]

@@Puffpuf definitely. A masterpiece all across 🔥

[@tommykaung5882]

I would say I am surprised that it got higher among reddit fans given how underrated among average anime fans. People are saying the CGI sucks, expecting Ufotable level not realizing that it is done by the same company that did the CGI for Godzilla minus one and won Oscar.

[@morpho_01]

@@tommykaung5882 yeah lol. Believe me, I noticed the fact that all mech was cgi till season 2 episode 8 maybe. That's just good that production is.

[@diamongameri5004]

I mean the first season was awesome but honestly the second more of a slow burner and even though it had its moments, the animation is honestly sub par for the competition in the top 30 and easily that, all the way to top 50 anime. But it was a good show. Very enjoyable in fact. Good protags, an intriguing world and cool Railgun.

With all of the talks recently, I might just consider rewatching Toradora just for the heck of it. I really need to reconfirm whether I still love it as much or not. I have the DVD after all. 😁

[@Ash_Wen-li]

50:02 Ping Pong. Easily top 5 sports anime. It's only 11 episodes. Watch it.

[@perkeletto640]

Frieren that is not even ended yet as NR.1 is regency bias personified. Could it in future be in top 10? Perhaps, even likely. But after 2 seasons nr.1? Hell no

[@sleepylion9788]

No worries, S1 will definitely drop to top 2 by the time S2 comes out

[@mania1021]

A top 100 with Bunny girl Senpai but no Sakurasou...

Angel Beats and Your Lie in April are the child versions of Death Parade. Death Parade did a better job hitting me in the feels and I didn’t have to deal with characters I found not good cause they were all good.

No Akira? No GITS? Reddit needs to eat it's anime veggies.

[@thomasffrench3639]

Akira is dessert lol. But yeah a lot of Redditors think Akira is overrated. They are wrong, but it’s how they feel.

[@pougetguillaume4632]

The problem is that these are movies, you notice there's basically no movies going forward. My guess is that people saw "anime" and forgor 💀 that movies also counted. There's like 6 or 7 movies on this list tops so you can smell the anime bias. People didn't vote for movies, simple as.

Barely anything before the 90's

Its pretty wild to cringe at Re:Zero being barely in top 20 of all time and at the same time be perfectly fine with Mushoku being 15... DELULU TAKE
