This is the Most Pretentious Anime Tier List Ever 

no way Joey talking about anime lol

Joey, if you uploaded this as it is on your MAIN CHANNEL, without any more editing, and literally the same effort into the title and description of the video, people would stop bullying you about not talking about anime on the "The Anime Man" channel. The war would stop.

Dude there's a new Mononoke movie coming up and I literally can't wait for it, loved the video btw ^^

Full list: Absolute favourite: Bakemonogatari (and presumably all the other Monogatari series besides Katanagatari as that's got its own entry in the list) One of a kind: Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Mononoke, From the New World, The Tatami Galaxy, Ping Pong the Animation, Princess Mononoke, FLCL (first one), Serial Experiments Lain, Clannad (+ After Story), Perfect Blue Amazing: Monster, Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Samurai Champloo, Wolf Children, Attack on Titan, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU/Oregairu, Katanagatari, Hyouka, Gurren Lagann, Mushishi, K-On!, Aria, Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, March comes in like a lion, Made in Abyss, Girls' Last Tour, A Silent Voice Great: Toradora!, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure , Code Geass, Non Non Biyori, Welcome to the NHK, Madoka Magica (TV series only), Fate/Zero, Steins;Gate, Gintama, Nichijou, Re:Zero, Mob Psycho 100 (first 2 seasons, though doubt the ranking would drop even with S3), Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Your Name., Land of the Lustrous, Bunny Girl Senpai, Grand Blue, Violet Evergarden, Fullmetal Alchemist (the image used is Brotherhood, with discussion regarding of it being at the top of lists so would assume that entry over 2003 FMA), Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Sound! Euphonium Good: The Devil is a Part Timer, Your Lie in April, Symphogear, KonoSuba, Anohana, Overlord, Penguindrum Okay: Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (ufotable adaptation), Yuru Yuri, One Punch Man, Tsukigakirei, Darling in the Franxx, School Live!, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime/Tensura Mediocre: My Hero Academia, I Want To Eat Your Pancreas, Zombie Land Saga, The Promised Neverland Bad: Goblin Slayer Dogshit: N/A No opinion: Hunter x Hunter, Flip Flappers, Tsuredure Children, A Place Further than the Universe/Yorimoi, Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu, Revue Starlight

How Joey massacred Ergo Proxy is beyond words. Apart from that, it's sad that we are not getting stuff like Ergo Proxy or Serial Experiments Lain nowadays.

There will never ever be another anime like FLCL. The newer FLCLs don't count. They have no heart and soul and only try to bank on the name alone. FLCL is a good vibes anime. Incomprehensible plot but deep meaning. Animators experimenting and animating in different styles and mediums. It's an art for art's sake anime. Or animation for animation's sake masterpiece. Definitely a one of a kind anime.

Suggestion: When you make these sort of vids discussing various anime, I'd suggest you ask your editor to include clips of some of the shows you talk about, just so viewers who've never seen the anime will at least some idea of what the show looks like visually. It'd add a lot to the viewing experience imo.

ready to get pissed lol

This whole video is a giant like a giant list of anime recommendations on shows I might have missed out on over the years. Man, videos like these take me back to the 2010s- the start of my anime journey. Good times.

more anime content from Joey? damn we eating good

Loved this! Joey should make more videos like this it's nice to see some refreshing anime content

I’m surprised you put Mononoke on one of those shows because it is in my all time favorite anime list! I can’t tell you how excited and pumped I was for what would happen next. I have never been on the edge of my seat for an anime since Symphogear. Thank you for recommending it to me!

Love the video Joey keep up the awesome work and videos

When you just gave the Monogatari series the thumbs up, I paused & took it outta fullscreen to give this video a nice thumbs up too. 👍

You could also post stuff like this on main channel, would be a welcome addition. Last one that you didn't know was Revue Starlight.

I'm curious, you said you prefer Weathering with you over Your Name (I did too), but what did you think of Suzume?

Texhnolyze is so underappreciated. It's peak. It's slow, but there's nothing as raw and bleak in the entire medium, so unique. One of the best endings of all time as well.

Shouldn't this be on "The Anime Man" Channel.

damn texhnolyze shafted :(

So many good recommendations on this list! I stopped watching anime for a while since having a baby so this list is perfect to get me back into it and revisit some older titles that I heard of before but never got to watch. I had never heard of Shin Sekai Yori but will definitely watch!

You're smashing it, keep it coming!

Having been in the anime sphere for 10+ years and not having watched a lot of these makes me realize I need to go back to watch these. As Glass reflection would say ''watch more anime''

The fact that list has shows like Aria The Animation and Sound Euphonium in the mix already catches my attention. 😁

loving the uploads joey!! I wish tho these anime list had WolfRain on it cus I definitly thinks it was one of a kind

Monster and Mushi-Shi getting love brought me so much joy!!! That and all the wonderful things you said about FLCL.

As soon as i saw the ANIME man upload a video about ANIME and have SENJOUGAHARA at the top of the tierlist i knew i had to watch it 😭😭💯🔥

Was definitely happy to see K-On! on here, it was the first music anime I got into being a musician myself and I completely agree with Joey's takes on it. It was such a great show and definitely had its funny moments but the best part of the series imo was the music and every time I still listen to the OST it still makes me wish I could come up with riffs like that because those fucking slap and is up there with Beck (criminally underrated series, it was so good) and Bocchi (from when I watched it last year) as some of the best music anime

Just started watching Shinsekai yori recently. It hits differently for sure. Looking forward to where it’s going

reading through and finishing Girls Last Tour left me empty and listening to Dark Ambience for hours on end wondering why it had to end in the first place. It killed me

Surprised Vinland Saga and Death Note didn't make the list

This is the vid I been waiting on❤

I've seen more anime than most of my friends so it's always nice to see a list and have watched maybe half of it before and Joey comes out and hasn't seen 6 of them.

You have no idea how long I have waited for this man to recommend Hyouka. It is truly such an underrated masterpiece. Thank you joey.

I’d really appreciate if you wrote the titles on the screen! I’m still kinda new to anime and I don’t know what you’re saying, so I can’t search for them to watch/read!! ❤

Joey! When will the results from the top anime survey come out?

Joey, if you end up coming across this comment I recently watched for the first time Tamako Market and Tamako Love Story, both by Kyoto Animation. I really enjoyed them way more than I expected and if you haven't seen them I'd highly recommend. All around, actually pretty good takes on your list here. Happy to see you enjoying the memories of these shows as you went through them.

8:28 W take. Shinsekai yori is one of those animes that really stick with you. There's many great or amazing shows/anime I've watch that I love but Shinsekai yori is one of the few that sticks with me for a long time and I see remember the feels I had while watching it.

Wheres Belladonna of Sadness, Angels Egg, Ghost in the Shell, and Jin Roh. That would be perfect for a list like this

the thumbnail already told me everything i needed to know about this video, peace

hey the anime man talking about anime! what a surprise

I'm happy I recently watched the Monogatari series because it's now my all-time favorite. Absolute masterpiece.

There’s some opinions I disagree as always. But I’m sorry, weathering with you is no where near as good as your name 💀

Honestly, this list is really good. Sooo many bangers

Wait did I wake up in 2004 the anime man talking about anime again is so nostalgic please Mr anime man sir talk about anime more often

33:07 "it wasnt as amazing as people made it out to be" me watching The most beautiful anime ever video where he called it amazing in the first week of its realease.

I get your opinion on My Hero, but give it another chance. I personally gave season 1 a 6/10 when I first watched it. But every season since I have given around a 9/10.

I think we need a video of you on your anime man channel explaining why this is not on the anime man channel.

43:12 Utena is my single favorite anime of all time, love the themes that it tackles, changed me for the better, helped me through tough times :)

MHA is one of the very few shōnen that i care for, but even i have to say the 1st season without the context of the next seasons feels pretty meh. It doesn't explore the hero society yet, so i understand how Joey isn't that excited for the story.

Joey, am SO happy you're back to covering anime stuff, yes, be pretentious, I love you being pretentious, just be who you actually are

Could someone write all the anime names on a list. I am blind in one eye and I'd like to see the ones I haven't seen but it's hard to write these down. Thanks so much.

Oh shit. The Anime Man lives.

Tatami Galaxy is one of my faves! Which is why I gotta point out it was by Madhouse. Tatami Time Machine Blues is the one by Science Saru.

Everybody...we all know that the real title/thumbnail of this video is officially: JOEY CALLS BOKU NO HERO 'MID' That's the crawl banner news alert.

Thank you for giving me some anime to watch and rewatch!

Joey please do more anime tier lists!

when he called yuriyuri 'cute and funny' i literally started sobbing 😭😭😭😭😭 UOOOOHHHH

Me who hasn't seen 90% of these shows: "Yeah this tierlist seems about right"

i started watching anitube because of Joey's tierlists back in the day, this is bliss

Josh slowly going back to his og haircut every upload.

Doesn't know Revue Starlight as what. An amazing anime. One of the greatest endings I've ever seen.

Off the top of my head, series seriously missing from this list: - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Lucky Star - Honey and Clover - His and Her Circumstances - Genshiken - Azumanga Daioh - Kara no Kyoukai - Uchouten Kazoku More famous shows like Durara or Black Lagoon seem to be pretty conspicuously missing, too, since there are many similar level shows there too. Even Suzumiya Haruhi should be included, I think.

Ohhh, now that you mentioned it.. Ergo Proxy had a banger soundtrack - now that's something I'm gonna listen to for the next weeks 🔥

Woah, is this Joey man talking about Anime rn?

Another weird take from Joey about Bocchi the Rock. Bocchi the Rock is NOT trying to be like K-On! K-On! focused on "moe" stuff.(I'm honestly not a fan of that part) K-On!'s "plot" is so chill and slow to the point it's almost boring. For the story, Bocchi the Rock is much better. But I prefer the songs from K-on! over Bocchi the Rock.

Joey I am waiting for your new manga collection video . Plz make one

oh this list was def made for someone like me, it holds majority of my favorite anime ever like I can use half this list for my top 20 anime ever

Pancreas is my favorite anime film of all time but i havent seen the other versions of it so i respect your take

no berserk on the list? thats surprising

Now thats a pretty banging list, wouldnt change too much around myself except a few of course. It was really cool to see your takes on some of these shows you haven't talked about in a while, even on the trash taste podcast! As for my personal favorite, its gotta be gurren lagann. Love your content, Joey.

Joey has been isekai'd into anime tier lists.

Joey back to discussing anime wow rare lol

nooooooooooooo, Joey you *_need_* to watch Revue Starlight (the show right before Utena in this list), it's a f'ing masterpiece

I'm pretty sure you're only a year older than me and I fuckin love MHA lol

As always, no misses from the 🐐

Great timing joey I’m going for a shower and I have seen all your vids and all the trash taste +garnt x2 times 🙏

Video idea: “making the most pretentious anime tier list”

I hate to admit it, but this anime list is fire. Not everything on it is a masterpiece, but many are and I don't think there is one bad anime here. I'm not sure there are more than a handful I would personally rate worse than good, and there are more than a few that I would put on my list of all time favorites or in the one of a kind tier.

I wish you had just put the titles in the video because I had a hard time finding them if they weren't in English

lol Joey did the push glasses up when he asked to specify on FMA or Brotherhood

Not pretentious, so much as refreshing. It's nice to see a tier list of Anime i've actually watched. a lot of recent anime, and safe classics, often smother out some cult favourites. I like that the list had a bit of everything, and Joey has continued to prove his excellent taste. Also, shout out to the Houseki no Kuni Manga; The animie is actually a trailer.

We got joey talking about anime before Gta 6 Is this joke overused? yes. Do i care? No

Oh man I’m so glad to see joey recognising the greatness of hyouka it’s extremely underrated and not to say kyoani doing wonders with the adaptation along with the ost is just the cherry on top also the fact that it came out almost a decade ago but still looks better than most of the stuff that we get today is mind blowing to me.

Surprised Baccano wasn't on the list (Please watch Flip Flappers, it's so good)

When was this recorded ?? It makes me think like 2020 😭

Although Joey didn't watch Revue Starlight, I am still glad to see that it is on the list. What a hidden gem! Especially the movie is a fucking masterpiece, one of the most visually stunning thing I've seen in the media.

What makes hyouka special to me is the friendship dynamic between Satoshi and Houtarou. Satoshi takes everything up a notch with how much information he can provide, how he knows the protagonist, Houtarou, inside out and the complexity of his character as a whole. He is always there to do something for Houtarou whenever he is about to trip on his own feet. Houtarou also holds his own ground quite well with how he tries to come to terms with his feelings about his lifestyle, mostly thanks to Satoshi and Chitanda, and his deductive capabilities which let him come up with the most plausible answers to all the mysteries that challenge him. On the flip side, the girls Mayaka and Chitanda fall short compared to the boys since Mayka is too hung up on herself to actually look inside others' heart and all Chitanda do throughout the story is showing how feminine she is and starting things saying she is curious except in those two moments where they each shake up their boy with one punchline later in the story. The girls' purpose is just to stir things up and make the story more engaging because the boys act too mature. I have to say though, they are more realistic compared to the counterpart. Just as The Anime Man said, the quality is the last thing you need to worry about. It is such a rare gem where the story does not dive too deep into something but have the right dose of everything that stay faithful to slice of life, word by word.

The anime man is back againnn! MONOGATARI W. THIS IS WHY I LOVE JOEY. This also the final push i needed to watch LOTGH. Watched almost everything else

Expecting Joey to not rate MHA low is like expecting to snow in early summer xD most of the list is good doe, it's kinda hard to fit things in the lower half of the tier-list when all the shows have been chosen on the basis of how pompous can a redditor be about his anime taste xD

ergo proxy was awesome, wtf u smoking bro

Hey son, glad to see you talking about anime again hahaha, happy to know you’re doing okay.

Oh my God, Joey. What time is it

How can you have a pretentious list without Planetes?!

never knew having good taste was pretentious

Joey? The Anime Man? Does an anime vid? Dem

I'm going to see the monogatari series now thnx for some recommendations Joey AKA the anime man

As someone that loves K-on, I don’t agree with your opinion that Bocchi hasn’t reached the same level or higher. IMO K-On walked so Bocchi could run.

Complete ass take Girls Band Cry, BangDream, and Bocchi are not trying to replicate K-On at all they have completely different tones and stories not just from K-On but from each other.

Should have been a main channel video, Sir Bizinger.

Joey singing the praises of K-on made my day
