The Pain Arc is so well written, with everything done perfectly. The characters are well developed, and the story is at its best. Pain’s cold face with those rods makes him stand out, and the background music with the Pain theme adds so much feeling. The reveal of the Hidden Rain Village with Pain is unforgettable. Every moment in this arc fits together perfectly.

That right there is why im not so drawn on bleach. the best shit is the very beginning and then it goes downhill cuz of how they did it. ichigo comes in and beats kenpachi who has NEVER lost a fight but loses to ichigo at 15 who barely knows jack shit about anything. idk i liked it. i just didnt LOVE bleach. but aye. tybw is that fucking HOT fire. cant wait for the new epiosde in a few hours

Kenpachi believes in ones own strength and refuse to learn his own zanpakuto's name because of it, Ichigo on the other hand wins because he trusts in his zanpakuto and works with it and old man zangetsu gave him more of ichigo's sealed power and uses blut vene to stop Ichigo's bleeding.

[@PatrickCervantez]

While The Band of Seven is my favorite arc in Inuyasha, I have to give a shout-out to the Meido Zangetsuha arc. It gave Sesshomaru the best character development throughout the entire series starting with him visibly mourning Kagura's death, learning how to deal with grief and the limitations of his powers, _helping_ Inuyasha master Tetsuaiga, and eventually surpasing his father's strength and skill to become a great demon in his own right.

Every moment in this arc fits together perfectly.

[@themanicfiddler1152]

Pain's arc is monumental at it's peak, but sadly it is dragged down a bit by uneven pacing in-between the great moments. For me, the personal favourite from Shippuuden would most likely be the Five Kage-arc, since so much development happens here AND the fight between Sasuke and Danzou takes place at it's end. Granted it is not perfect either, but to see the story finally move beyond just two of the five great countries as well as some truly great fights interspersed between story moments, it definitely deserves its share of praise. On a more personal note, this was around the point were I caught up with the anime after essentially binging through all available content in a matter of months beforehand, so if for no other reason it holds a very special place with me because of that 😂

[@358itachi]

Erza's take down of Pandemonium stage in Magic Games in Fairy Tail is the single most badass moment for any female character in all of anime. Yu-Gi-Oh went downhill after the Battle City arc, one of the best all in tournament arcs in anime along with Dark Tournament in Yu Yu Hakusho and all three martial arts competitions in Dragon Ball. Meruem's final moments in HXH is one of the saddest deaths in anime out there, 'Komugi, are you still there?' hits harder and harder as it's repeated. The Frieza vs Goku battle maybe infamous for its length, but Frieza Arc is still one of the best arc of DB franchise and anime. The hype of Frieza, Ginyu Force's evil, to Vegeta turning over a new leaf to the Super Saiyan transformation, everything was epic.

[@O-DogKubrick]

The Soul Society Arc from Bleach, the Band of Seven Arc from InuYasha, and last but not least, Battle City Duels Arc from Yu-Gi-Oh are my absolute favourites. Back where I come from which is Canada, those three anime tv shows with those arcs were glory on a Canadian kids tv channel called YTV. Short for Youth Television. Back in the glory days when they were shown both day and night on weekends. Along with other anime tv shows. Rarely a bit of those at around 4 pm when you get back home from school on time in the late afternoons. Just as long as they don’t go way past your bedtime on a school night. Or if any of those were shown on tv at the crack of dawn. But thankfully, those three finally came out on dvd in both seasons and volumes.

[@arilumani6194]

I am from Albania and I remember watching Yu-Gi-Oh back when I was in kindergarten in the very same place through the big TV. It aired in a TV channel called Vizion Plus and it was dubbed in english but with albanian subtitles. Problem was I was born in Greece (even though my parents are albanian) and I moved to Albania when I was 3. Even though I understood albanian I still couldn't read the subtitles. The only way for me to speak albanian was to imitate what they said on TV. However that didn't bother me at the time because I still had a blast watching Yu-Gi-Oh. Me and my older brother even had the trading cards like half of my friends in kidnergarten even though I hardly played them because I didn't knew how to play, I mostly looked at them. I also had the Yu-Gi-Oh tazos including the Pokemon tazos and I still have them in my hometown of Tirana. To put it short, everyone on kindergarten including myself loved Yu-Gi-Oh, even my older brother and cousin liked it. Unfortunately I no longer have the trading cards. My cousin used to have them but he no longer has them either. Nonetheless, I still look fondly at Yu-Gi-Oh as a nostalgic throwback just like Dragon Ball, Naruto and Pokemon.

4:57 In the words of Madara Uchiha: “This is entertaining!”

[@crimsonknight7011]

Haven’t watched yet, but the Dark Tournament from Yu Yu Hakusho better be on here

[@Hero_of_Comedy]

You know what would make an awesome list? The top anime antagonists that redeemed themselves in death.

[@ripchain1810]

The Grand Magic Games is one of my favorite Fairy Tail arcs. Possibly top along with Tartaros.

[@markthetopfabricator6047]

My list: 1) Cell Arc (Dragon Ball Z) 2) The Dark Tournament Arc (Yu Yu Hakusho) 3) Marineford Arc (One Piece) 4) Pains Assault Arc (Naruto Shippuden) 5) Golden Wind (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) 6) Farm Arc (Vinland Saga) 7) Chimera Ant Arc (Hunter x Hunter) 8) Return to Shiganshina Arc (Attack on Titan) 9) Shogun Assassination (Gintama) 10) Golden Age Arc (Berserk) (if I were a little more faithful to the manga it be top 5 or 3) 11) Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa (Haikyuu!) 12) The Entertainment District Arc (Demon Slayer) 13) Cannibalism Arc (Bungou Stray Dogs) 14) Death Row Inmates Arc (Baki) (but the Pickle Arc is coming soon and it will be higher) 15) Elf Reincarnation Arc (Black Clover) I can't think of more right now.

I don't want to be a burden, but... the Grand Magic Games was already mentioned in the video.

[@aniocitex1131]

The battle city arc is LEGENDARY!!!!

[@andyle5716]

Still to this day, Rurouni Kenshin is still my all time favourite Samurai anime.

[@nightslayer6951]

Inuyasha the Band of Seven arc is my most favorite especially the leader Bankotsu

[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

Seriously, fuck Wano Arc! It dragged on for about two whole years, had horrible animation and didn't have nearly enough substance to sustain itself. You could feel how forced the whole thing was with every new episode. Kaido's a decent villain at best, he's just a very strong evil guy. Big Mom had so much more potential with her backstory and her much more interesting skills, but they forced her to play second fiddle, a huge blunder by Oda in my opinion. It's among the worst One Piece has to offer. The best was Water Seven and Enies Lobby. Marineford was super important to the plot, but it wasn't actually as good or captivating, despite Ace's death, yes, I mean it.

[@RatnaRoy-sm9br]

[@MAYORFEDE]

The fact that The Battle of the 12 Temples is not here is insulting
