25 Five-Star Anime Titles


I just found out I could do this and I thought I'd share it with you. I was playing with my Netflix account, and I discovered I could sort the movies I'd rated by genre and rating; and since I tend to go back and rate all the films I see on Netflix whether I watched them through Netflix or not, it gives a very comprehensive view of my favorites, especially with anime.

I've been watching anime for about three years, and the following are the 25 features or series I've given five stars, the highest rating on Netflix. And by the way, while I have no intention of doing an unsolicited testimonial for Netflix -- they still have major problems and they still throttle, although less overtly -- they are still the cheapest and most efficient way to watch films, TV series, and especially anime, which are hard to find in video stores and very expensive to buy, usually.

The sequence of these titles means nothing; I have no idea why it comes out this way, it may be the order in which I rated them. These are all just great stuff, in my opinion.

My taste is entirely my own, and indubitably this list tells you more about my preference in anime than anything about the genre itself. If you like the stuff I like, here is more stuff. Enjoy! For more information on any title, just click on it - the links work! For a brief description. If you have a Netflix account, you can use the Add buttons to add titles directly to your queue.
