By Wikipedia definition, a masterpiece is a creation that has been given much critical praise, especially one that is considered the greatest work of a person's career or to a work of outstanding creativity, skill, or workmanship.silmarilen wrote:
by the definition of masterpiece there is not a single masterpiece in anime.
the best you're going to get anywhere when you are looking for "masterpieces" in anime is people's favourite anime, or anime that people think are really good even when they arent their favourite.
Well they can't all be masterpieces then. A masterpiece would suggest that they are unique and a massive cut above others. Is your experience with anime so lacking and your mind so young to not know that?Telstra2G wrote:
Clannad After Story is a master piece.
I consider The world god only knows as one too.
I'm pretty open about animes, so I consider a lot of them masterpieces
That's not being open, that's having low standardsTelstra2G wrote:

Admittedly I went and checked if you are 14-16edisk wrote:
I'm not sure which genre you're looking for but these are what I consider masterpieces/better than good, listed in random order:
1. Blood+
2. Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
3. Another
4. Gunslinger Girl
5. Claymore
6. Dantalian no Shoka
7. Dance in the Vampire Bund (manga is better, anime doesn't seem to be complete)
8. Elemental Gelade
9. Tenjou Tenge
10. Jormungand
Too lazy to list anymore. Try watching Kurozuka if you have too much time to spare. Best time waster.
I watched most of them when I was 14-16 so... bingo you're kinda right.Green Platinum wrote:

That's not very constructive to discussion. Although everyone has a different threshold for what constitutes a masterpiece and that doesn't help either.Liiraye wrote:
I think the title should be critically acclaimed shows rather than masterpieces. People are having a hard time separating what's of high quality and what was personally found to be good...
You are still going to have disagreements on whether something is a masterpiece or not. There is no universal authority and if we defer to something else for example the MAL anime rankings I disagree with Gintama being a masterpiece. Just checked and Gintama is in the top 10, 5 times.Liiraye wrote:
This is not supposed to be a discussion thread, op is specifically looking for god tier anime, not for everyone to banter about how for example naruto is better than one piece.
As a guy, I found the characters were a lot like myself and my teammates.I guess if you don't look. AoT is pretty much the Michael Bay film of anime.-Nya- wrote:
If I have to be honest, I don't think I'll ever be able to find a series that's better than attack on titan.
No . . . I don't think there will ever be a series that will be the same as AOT. AOT is pretty unique in its own way. (I hope I understood your statement correctly)Green Platinum wrote:

I don't really see AOT as a bloody action series. There's so much more to the series than that. The bloody scenes is necessary just to show how gruesome and terrifying the titans are. To show the viewers why the characters are so afraid of the titans, so we can understand their fear.Green Platinum wrote:
Nah, for Bloody action Hellsing Ultimate and Afro Samurai are much better. Neither even reach my threshold for masterpiece though
Uhm, I've seen images and it looks very dark. Like evil and magic and stuff. Not really like AOT . . .Green Platinum wrote:
You haven't seen Hellsing Ultimate have you?
I don't want AOT to be like that lol. I think I just like human strength (fighting with swords, etc) more than fighting with magic. And remember, I really, really like the characters. (Levi is just awesome) And the plot twists. So that's what really made the series for me.Green Platinum wrote:
AoT isn't exactly a disney princess movie either.
Even Freezing handles fear and corruption better than AoT
I guess you're right. But what would you say AOT's genre is?Green Platinum wrote:
Sure you enjoyed it. But how can you say it is the top of its class when you haven't seen the other heavy hitters in its genre.
Hmm, I still think there's more to the series than blood, but okay. The main reason why I didn't really watch anything else after AOT is cuz I'm quite busy in real life, etc. Would you say tokyo ghoul falls in the bloody action category?Green Platinum wrote:
Mature/Bloody Action
Yeah, I'm busy watching tokyo ghoul season 2, but the reason why is because I want to finish it. I had started watching it a while ago, but had never been able to finish it. The last new anime I have started watching was AOT and that was like 3 months ago.Green Platinum wrote:
Genre categories are supposed to be broad. Aria is a slice of life despite being set on Mars. Yes Tokyo Ghoul would go into Bloody Action.

what anime do you guys consider as masterpieces? Not "pretty good" or even "excellent" anime, but the god tier, amazing works of art that surpass 99% of the other anime out there.
