I'll just choose TV shows.

1. Dragonball -Nostalgic memories and having rewatched it recently it's still a good anime to boot
2. Dragonball Z -It's not a good anime but it has too much of an impact on my childhood to not mention it
3. Haruhi Suzumiya -Just enjoyed everything about it
4. Cowboy Bebop - It's a series that I can always go back to and never get bored
5. Eyeshield 21 - It's amazing that Japan can make football more exciting than the real thing.

Yeah I'm a casual.

Just series??

Gunbuster
Escaflowne
Giant Robo
Dennou Coil
Berserk

Probably... Can't put them in order either. There's still a lot of classics I haven't seen yet. From the New World should probably be on my list, but it's seriously lacking in the animation department. A great story and incredible soundtrack really set it apart though.

It's really hard for me to boil it down to five cause I feel bad leaving out so many other favorites, but at this point in time (sticking to just series) it would probably be:

1. Gurren Lagann
2. Cowboy Bebop
3. Mushishi
4. Detroit Metal City
5. Monster

Edit: since we're doing honorable mentions -- Samurai Champloo, Haruhi Suzumiya, GTO, Usagi Drop, FMA? Fumoffu, Evangelion, Hajime no Ippo, Death Note.

Movies that aren't based on series I already mentioned -- Whisper of the Heart, Princess Mononoke, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Wings of Honneamise, Tokyo Godfathers.

Bakemonogatari
The iDOLM@STER
FLCL
Nichijou
Steins;Gate

Fifth one is kind of a toss up honestly, it was the first to come to mind. If movies count then I'd put Tokyo Godfathers instead.

I've got a weird thing where I don't list movies and shounen anime for some reason, but there is easily some stuff out there that is top 5 material. That would include Samurai X, Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya and Hunter X Hunter/Gintama (aka the greatest shounen animes of all TIME!). One-Punch Man might take Bakemono's place at the rate it's going.

Ill name the 5 that come to mind imediatly when I think about anime because I have fallen off the genre too much to do a proper ranking.

One Piece
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Great Teacher Onizuka
And of course Dragon Ball because nostalgia

As you can see, besides OP I havent been up with anime for the last 15 or so years lol.

I watched 2 thirds of Kill La Kill but didnt finish it for some reason. I was loving it as a parody but then it got to a point which made me think "if a fanservice parody has the same T&A if not more than the normal fanservice anime, is it still a parody?"

I'm really impressed with your tastes! Nobody ever talks about Urusei Yatsura, and I'd argue its one of Rumiko Takahashi's best works, if not the best! Lum is such a lovable character.
