Fans Are Gushing Over Their “GOAT” Anime Picks

Whether you've never watched anime or seen hundreds of shows, these are all must-watch according to the internet.

Whether you’ve only ever watched Dragon Ball Z or keep up with seasonal anime, you’re bound to have a favorite piece of Japanese animation. For many, it might be fueled by childhood nostalgia and for others, it might be purely from the story or animation alone. Either way, it’s not easy for everyone to agree on what the “Greatest Of All Time” anime truly are.

Still, a user on /r/anime asked “What is an anime you can proudly say is your GOAT” and saw over 500 people comment with their suggestions. While the original poster suggested Code Geass, the highest voted responses were all different.
