I consider CLANNAD almost a master piece, just like you, but CLANNAD: After Story is what i call a masterpiece.
What about Nichijou or danshikoukosei no nichijou? Those three are probably the only ones that've made me cry laughing.Varetyr wrote:
I'm just going to add Gintama on the list, which is probably the only anime in its category (humor) I could consider god-tier.

Yea, humour really is subjective but I guess the same goes for anything really. Any particular reason you find gintama the best of its genre? To me I feel like it brings out the best in crude humour while still being able to pull those heartstrings in the serious arcs.Varetyr wrote:

#opinions.
For example to me, DKnN was pretty much a funnier version of Minami-ke series. I appreciated it a lot, but that's all.
And Nichijou isn't my cup of tea I guess :/.
Then again, humor is all about #opinions, there are probably a lot of people who would agree with you here, but I can't.
About Gintama, they're always bringing new, completely unpredictable gags in a different atmosphere than the generic high school / slice of life stuff, and they've been doing that for several years now. Not to mention the references, they're just hilarious when you get them.Fzero100 wrote:

I think the word "masterpiece" has a different connotation than "favourite" but then again, others in this thread are just rattling off their favourite anime as definitive works of art.The Winner Man wrote:

I sort of had a suspicion that this would happen, which is why I tried to word it as clearly as possible in my OP: "god tier, amazing works of art that surpass 99% of the other anime out there". I'd be seriously hard pressed to identify Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou and the To aru series as even decent entertainment, let alone art. Meanwhile, I think that while stuff like Clannad, Angel Beats, and FMAB are all pretty well written and are good animes, they're not really "art" in the sense that they don't push any boundaries and are excellent, but not (I don't think, at least) god-tier.The Winner Man wrote:

Which even Sword Art Online and especially Shingeki no Kyojin aren't?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.
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:

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

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.
