Clearly a good way to show off the superior LN art is to put it up against the meh anime designs.
Such a shame there's barely any masochist editor (AKA Best girl).
Needs more cages.
I want this to happen now.

Saving for future reference. Some I've seen, but there's a lot I haven't. Millennium Actress and Utena are likely to be watched very soon in particular.

Detective Conan 292:
I love it whenever this series gets really spooky and atmospheric, which this case has a lot of. Fortunately, Ran and Kazuha aren't being too annoying about freaking out over 'ghosts' or other nonsense, either, which is very nice. Part of what makes this case stand out is that despite hitting on a lot of common Detective Conan story ideas, the main structure of the case is a little different with a lot of the attention having been on discussing past events and exploring the area, with only a few real clues having been discovered through two episodes. So it's a little different than the normal 'find a bunch of clues in the second episode and then Conan/Heiji/whoever figure out who the killer was right then' format. I really didn't remember anything about this case from the manga, so I'm looking forward to seeing the final episode of it.

CHICHI WO MOGE: The Anime
Black Bullet 2
It still has lolis and a psycho man with a mask. That's fine by me. An okay anime, I'm enjoying it so far.
Gintama Some Episodes
Sorry, I forgot the episode numbers. But it was the "Monkey Hunter" Arc. JESUS. I almost died laughing at how stupid this arc was.
The epic music at the end when Gintoki uses his
was a work of art.

So glad the best two gintama characters are the top of the newest popularity poll.

These are the ones I haven't see out of these. I already have the ones from this list I care about seeing on my list though and some, like Bebop and Dirty Pair I've seen about half of.

I can't believe Gintoki is #8.
But the real tragedy is that Otae ranked higher than Tsuki or Sa-chan. Japan can't even pick waifus right.

Neck breaker forever confirmed to be non lethal.
season 2 confirmed. Was season 1 good?
One of the best anime shows of last year.
And Yay, Sensei! S2 should end with the best possible ending.
From the comment they said that Gintoki isn't included in the poll. It's actually Sorachi that in the 8th place.

That makes sense, but it doesn't explain Otae unless she suddenly appeared nude in one of the chapters or something!
It was a 360 degrees screen 3D movie. And, yeah, I decided to watch it just for you AnimeGAF
Looked like something somebody made in Blender 3D or similar. It was about a pervert who stole some panties from a catgirl school.
Catgirl school sounds like high art

Literally disgusted at Tsuki not being the highest ranked girl.
What is wrong with Japan?
Ping pong episode 2 is tomorrow , Jojo ep 3 on Friday. You're right on time.

HOLY SHIT. I HOPE THE ANIME USES THAT ENDING. FINALLY SOMEONE IN JAPAN GETS IT.

Also for the list I really think Touch belongs there.
Besides being one of the most popular series ever created, its the magnum opus of Adachi who is a god damn genius. I think its miles ahead of Maison Ikkoku and other shows of that ilk from the 80s and is a definite must watch for any anime fan.
And the wrong Yuasa show is up there. I do think Tatami Galaxy is his best work on every level, but thats just personal preference.

I see Gravity has already been topped.
Quoted for future reference.
Goddamnit, I just realized that the balloon poll it's directed to Sorachi's name on the left bottom of the page, so it's not Sorachi place his name in front of Gintoki or something like that. Sorachi, you really a goddamn troll.
What's wrong with Japan? Baccano S2?

I'm still bitter about this because craps keep getting S2. Can't they pull a Big O with Baccano! ? 
But Shinpachi must forever be 8th!

We already know that Only Yesterday is the best Ghibli film, so he just assumed everyone has seen it.
Lets throw him in cloud atlas-esque makeup and name him Ichika
Good list right here! I need to finish Lain.
oh ok definitely going to put it on the backburner then, i'm watching LOGH so don't have room for watching lots of episodes of a long running show.
Time Out have published a Top 100 animated films, based on polling "over 100 experts in the field"
http://www.timeout.com/newyork/film/the-100-best-animated-movies
I understand that you don't appreciate what the List is going for, but it was written from a certain perspective and for a certain sort of audience. I know a lot of people aren't into it, and even among those who are have their own specific limitations. I have a friend who thoroughly enjoyed himself watching most items on the list but couldn't take more than one episode of Yami.
As such, the dynamic that occurred for Geass R2 is essentially the same as the dynamic for other such shows. Yes, it had more to offer early on, but I'd also argue that makes for a harsher bait and switch. If you're simply being indignant, though, then I really don't care. If we really wanted to list truly horrible anime, then we'd actually list stuff that makes you want to kill yourself, not potentially chuckle or laugh in amusement. Such titles have been gracefully withheld.
To a certain extent I suspect that my longtime interaction with the author of this list has caused our exposure to anime to overlap greatly.
I'll say this as someone who started watching Gintama only recently. At episode 8 it started getting decently funny, and at 25? Fucking. Hysterical.
Lots of films I've never heard of to try out - thanks for the link!
From an anime perspective it would have been nice to see Wolf Children on there as I think that certainly stands toe-to-toe with many of the other anime entrants on there, but I don't think that's a terrible list by any means.
Conversely, it can also be argued that there's more to offer at the end. Even among the people who feel disappointed with how the second season went, which covers a diverse range of opinions since not everyone automatically dismisses all of it, many are still legitimately satisfied with the conclusion and how it works for the story as a whole. "Fuck most of R2, but at least the ending is great" isn't an uncommon point of view, even if it's not universal either.
There's a lot of interesting lesser-known Western stuff on there that I'd love to see at some point.
It sounds like they formed the list by polling a lot of presumably Western animators, and it definitely shows in what anime films made the cut. If it wasn't Ghibli (Akira excepted), it didn't crack the top 70, and those films consisted of Satoshi Kon's work (Paprika ranking highest?!) and the GitS movies. I'd love to see Hosoda's work, or Wings of Honneamise, get recognition, but they're so obscure outside of the anime community. They're more likely to come into contact with little-known Western animated films like Fantastic Planet or Allegro Non Troppo.
Edit: I forgot that Mind Game and End of Eva both also made the top 100.
Is my power level over 9000 yet?

Ehh. It's a harsh bait and switch because CG also had very good, entertaining parts, so when it falls, it a harder pill to swallow.
That's different from being directly bad.
Again, your response to this was to cite how "awful" other entries on the list are, when we clearly disagree on the matter.

yeah first episode was middling for me but the premise was interesting, after the 2nd one I think I'll keep watching for now.

Yeah. That's pretty clear.
