Well, indeed. In order we have:
1) Sequel
2) Over 50 episodes so if they don't like it then that's a big investment
3) Needs at least some familiarity with otaku culture
4) Spin-off
5) Sequel
6) Sort-of sequel
7) Fine - stands alone, is one of the better Ghibli films IMO
8) Fine, I guess? I wouldn't recommend it personally but there you go.
9) Fine
10) Sequel
Not many beginner friendly shows/films really, regardless of your metrics for quality.

But I've enjoyed my time with Animu-GAF.
And now it's over?

All it took for Chihayafuru to stop being about karuta was to have them not play karuta. So other than the training/sleepover thing, that's the second time they've done something at least only peripheral to karuta in this whole series.

If you don't have a sundae with me, it'll be over.
Sorry the gif had to be from tumblr
You know, photobucket, imugr and other images hosts exist!
You saw the Fate Zero sales. the end is nigh. I'm so sorry.
Available on Betamax, RCA Selectavision, or your other favorite modern video medium of choice.
I've also put the finishing touches on the ultimate Redline viewing experience:
Now with bad VHS tracking, static, screen glare, and rainbowing. Because blu-ray and original aspect ratio are for chumps.
This is so sexy.... its giving me the vapors.

Yet the rest of his post tells you exactly why you shouldn't watch that!
If you want to see crazy, awesome, weird stuff happening just watch Space Adventure Cobra.

It's user ranked, we can only be thankful that the list isn't worse.

Best team and so forth.
I can think of a hundred worse shows than Ano Hana. It's not even close to the worst stuff out there.
Yeah, the alligator men make it seem interesting and over the top, but really it's not. I would always pick Space Adventure Cobra over it.
And if you just want plain badassery, Goku: Midnight Eye
I don't disagree (I enjoyed the show), but there's no way it belongs on the top 10 of all anime.
I don't disagree with you there either. Its good, but I wouldn't call it top ten good or even top 30.
Perhaps more worryingly there are probably people brand new to the whole 'anime thing' who use lists like this to decide what to watch:
I can only hope they don't start with the first title.
that's lot better than i imagined(I was expecting some god awful garbage like index or evangelion to top the list).
I remember fruit basket being rated best anime ever from quite a few sites(never seen it myself).

The worst Evangelion is on the list though. Tragic.
It's got explosions. People like explosions.

This is too good. Too bad we won't get more of it next season...
They need to release the manga down here.
My crazy high school girlfriend had me watch that with her back in the day. It was ok. Team Yuki 4ever.

The cg must have really won them over.
I thought it was. Maybe that was another list I saw.
It certainly seems like a show that would be on the list based on other stuff ANN'ers seem to like voting on.
FMA: Brotherhood 1
It's been a long while since I've seen the 3 or 4 eps I had of this series, and Milos sparked my interest, so I gave it a watch last night. Whether or not the interest holds remains to be seen (it never seems to with FMA), but this ep was fun and looked great. Does Brotherhood go over Ed's training for military like the OG series?

Nope. He already starts his journey awesome, and events escalate much faster than in the original anime.
Can't imagine it being worse since a movie would be shorter then the 26ep tv series(it is shorter right? knowing japan you never know).
I have to admit I use to use anime ranking sites to look for animes that are worth watching.
Brohood rushes through a lot of the first part of the manga/original to reach the material that wasn't covered by the first anime.
I started out watching stuff like Gunsmith Cats, Masters of Mosquiton, Sailor moon, Iria, Burn Up W, Plastic Little, Armitage.

For quite a while it was.
2.0 being so highly rated on sites like ANN and MAL makes me weep.
You killed pizzaroll, congrats.
This may be old news, but apparently Toei's going to simulcast the Saint Seiya Omega debut to three countries besides Japan: Taiwan, France, and Brazil.
I guess that settles which is the biggest American market for Saint Seiya.
I'm also hearing that there won't be a third Lost Canvas season... Huh.

That pretty much defines Brotherhood for me. You'll enjoy it
I don't think it's terrible when you're only looking to see what's worth watching, but some of the high rated stuff clearly need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Well it's at number 14 so not that far away from top ten. In this case popularity actually probably drags it down a bit when it comes to ratings.

Enjoy that first OP, the best one, and a pain to even find on youtube...
I can't even remember what influenced my viewing habits after I ventured beyond just watching whatever adult swim was spoon-feeding me. I consulted review sites, but never lists; I was probably always too hipster to trust the opinion of the masses.
I think I used this site when I was just beginning, and apparently it looks just the same today as it did in the mid-00s.

Keep going once it gets pass the point where the first deviated from
and crashed into a mountain of burning shit
keep going bro, you got an awesome ride ahead of you, this is the real fullmetal alchemist not that fake shit.
THEM is a good site, but I remember reading a lot of reviews from animeondvd, which has since changed hands.
Interest rising.

Thanks, somehow the last time I looked, the sound had been marked for it and I couldnt find it.
You will not be disappointed

Same, I used THEM almost entirely in my earlier days. Got me into shows like Angelic Layer, which apparently the people (and I use that term very lightly) on MAL think is average to mediocre.
