10. Skilled Teaser Takagi-san

I think that going off of execution Skilled Teaser Takagi-san is at the top of the pile. The simple concept of Takagi teasing her overzealous classmate, Nishikata is just done to absolute perfection. Each skit has a very similar set up, Nishikata thinks he can find a way to embarrass Takagi, only to be outsmarted in some way and look like the fool. To say this anime is wholesome is an understatement. I think also in terms of overall chemistry together these two have some of the best going for them. Their personalities just make the show so enjoyable. Rie Takahashi does a phenomenal job for voice talent. There is a level of subtly that is pretty much unmatched. Even as much as I like this I was kind of surprised just how overall popular this IP is.

9. Erased

Ending aside, which is just kind of a let down and not bad imo, Erased might have one of the most compelling stories (as a hint though I don't have it in my top 3 best stories). I think what defines Erased though are a collection of certain scenes that just hit it out of the park. I'm talking about stuff like Kayo's first home cooked meal, the confrontation with the mom, the Christmas tree, the aquarium, etc. The anime builds up things in such a good way that you really feel the impact of these amazing scenes. If you watch something like say The Lion King remake, the Pokemon OVA, or even the Erased live action it's like they are just hitting check marks in those. You go to familiar places and see things that impacted you before, but they feel soulless. Erased draws in the viewer emotionally better than almost any show I've seen.

8. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

FMA: BH barely qualifies for this list and is the oldest title to appear. To say that this show has been well received would be an understatement. I'll be totally honest, I don't remember a whole lot of specifics here because it's been so long. I actually remember more of the 2003 version simply because it's one of the few titles I've seen more than once (due to owning it). But what I do remember of this is incredible. I really enjoyed basically everything after the "split" section and I like the portrayals of the characters in this version over the 2003 one. Even though I think the 2003 one had some better ideas, I think the execution of Brotherhood is pretty much flawless. The only weird part was that first episode that had like nothing to do with anything.

7. Madoka Magica

Madoka Magica, while not the first show if its kind, was so well done and popular that it might as well have been. As a title that came out early in the decade Madoka Magica has had a clear impact on the shows that followed it. Stuff like Yuki Yuna, Wixoss, and Magical Girl Raising Project 100% owe its anime releases to how Madoka exploded. The anime's mix of weird and almost disturbing art style in the witch zones and the usually bright but sometimes almost "sad" art of the real world is fantastic. The characters are utilized extremely well in focusing on Madoka and her ultimate choice in the end. Kyuubey is one of the most iconic villains in anime history.



6. Re:Zero

One of the greatest feats Re:Zero has is it makes a character that pretty much is almost completely unlikable (in Subaru) and redeems him through the story and character progression. But actions he takes are as realistic as they can be in the confines of the anime. His descent into despair and his climb out although hard to watch is done very well. The anime does an incredible job at turning something that might make a viewer think that the main character has a cheat code into part horror story and part puzzle solver. The action scenes are well done, the anime just has a mix of a lot of elements and only kind of falters at the romance angles. It builds an intriguing world and mixes together some of the most memorable characters of the decade.
