Top Ten List

               

Most popular Anime are usually located at the top of the rankings list. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best. Don’t consider this as “The Top List”, it’s more like “My Top List”. I haven’t seen all the anime shows out there so expect me to be bias over those that I’ve seen and enjoyed. Now, here’s the list.

1.       Bleach/Naruto

Bleach is Naruto’s greatest rival today when it comes to popularity. Whenever you find some Naruto download site, most likely, they also have Bleach download stuff. We can’t say for sure if it’s more popular compared to its rival or less popular. This two are shounen anime based from manga.

2.   Full Metal Alchemist

This anime used to be extremely popular and well liked. I did a quick search over the internet and found out that this was actually voted as the most liked anime series for 2005 and 2006, and why am I not surprised. Great story and great cast of characters too.
