However this unconventional romance anime manages to make it on this list through its unique approach and solid visuals. If you've seen Groundhog Day you'll understand what I mean. ... Urusei Yatsura= Rumiko Takahashi strikes again!

It features all the whimsy and wonder that's present in his films, in my opinion this series surpasses most of his other work. This anime shattered all preconceptions I had going into it, don't be put off by the silly comedy in the initial episodes.

There he meets an ... Wow, just wow.

If you're a fan of classical music you'll adore this anime, there was pieces from Beethoven, Mozart, Rachmaninov, Liszt and lots of other famous composers.

A young high schooler is in love with an oblivious classmate; a delinquent classmate is in love with her. Urusei Yatsura is one of the most influential anime ever made, it's an episodic comedy but it's a enjoyable watch and it has that great 80's feel. This isn't one of my preferred genre but it has quality animation.

It's a well done character driven anime with some highly impressive action scenes. Fantastic voice acting, a tried and tested narrative involving a samurai style. It's one of the famous school set comedies in recent years, Toradora! Well that's my view anyway. Recommended to fans of shows like Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, and Yu Yu Hakusho.

It really is a spectacular work of art. The greatest samurai anime ever made.

It was something of an emotional roller coaster and for that reason it's included on this list. How could an anime about a withdrawn loner who barricades himself in his apartment be so interesting? This puts all the pretenders among the anime horror genre firmly in their mediocre place. It features loads of memorable characters, I suspect Lina will be most peoples favourite. This is an anime many have tried to imitate but most have failed. Do you like anime that aren't much more than sentimental drivel, where the show takes cheap emotional shots by having characters in anguish constantly, those anime that underestimate the intellect of the viewer and try to induce cheap tears. High school student Youko Nakajima is approached by a strange man who claims he's been searching for her and that she is the rightful ruler of his kingdom.Great story, great characters, a brilliant adventure.

It's magnificently unique, has a wonderful plot and is easily the greatest magical girl anime ever made. With everything from invisible gangs to rumored beings, Ikebukuro is full of connected mysteries where people's pasts intertwine with the present.Look it's Baccano! The closest thing in anime today to this is One Piece, it evokes a similar feeling. This anime adaptation to the classic novel captures all the adventure and whimsy of the source material.
