The latest<\/a> fad<\/a> among<\/a> anime<\/a> bloggers<\/a> seems to be to list your top 5 anime, then try to draw conclusions from the list. <\/p>\n

I’m willing to play along, but I’m puzzled by the question: “top 5 according to what criteria?” Should I list the anime I’ve enjoyed<\/em> most, based on my initial reaction and number of rewatches? Or should I list the ones I admire<\/em> most, based on overall artistic quality? These are not at all the same thing.<\/p>\n

So I’m going to shrug and give both lists:<\/p>\n

Most Fun<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Cardcaptor Sakura<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Spirited Away<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Shakugan no Shana<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Kanon (2006)<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n
  5. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya<\/em><\/a> (original broadcast order)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of course, your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n

    Highest Quality<\/h5>\n
      \n
    1. Spirited Away<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Grave of the Fireflies<\/em><\/li>\n
    3. Cardcaptor Sakura<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n
    4. Haibane Renmei<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n
    5. Dennou Coil<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      There would be more overlap if I were doing a Top 10 list. Still, note that in one case I can’t link to a review since I haven’t been able to force myself to watch it again.<\/p>\n

      So what does it signify? I can’t say. You’ll have to draw your own conclusions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
