Can’t spell ignorant without IGN

Garnt: can an ending ruin a show so much to the point that it ruins S tier material? Also Garnt: I like the later seasons of game of thrones

My favourite part of MHA is when Deku said "It's Academia time" and Academied all over those guys. Truly one of the animes of all time

''in the end, the secret to fullmetal alchemy was our brotherhood'' -gigguk explaining fma

I'm impressed that they put Gigguk's favorite anime as #1

IGN doesn’t understand video games. Do you really expect them to understand anime?

I actually never watched Attack on Titan specifically because it was so mainstream and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it. Then one day I got bored and decided to give it a shot... *It was one of the best shots I've ever gave*

I feel like the issue with a greatest of all time list is you have to consider both how good they actually are and the legacy they’ve had while still having a thorough representation of most genres. The amount of snubs by that metric is insane. Shounen may seem overrepresented but in terms of impact, there were still a lot that arguably depending on your view earned a spot (although MHA is definitely not one of them). The sheer lack of romance anime is also pretty crazy. At least some of Fruit’s Basket, Clannad or Your Lie in April probably should’ve been there. I would argue Madoka Magica should have had a large enough impact to also earn a spot even though the magical girl genre is pretty small relatively speaking and Sailor Moon kinda paved the way for it. At the end of of the day, I kinda feel like a top 25 all time is near impossible to get right because there are so many factors to consider and even then, how do you rank series from different genres against each other when the only thing they have in common is being animated?

You nailed it when you said this was written by someone who only watched Shonen. This is such a narrow list, it's like if someone made a lit of best movies of all time and only listed 90's action movies.

The number of Anime that I would be offended to not see make a top 25 list porbably excedes 25, so clearly I am not qualified to have an opinion on this.

I'm so happy Garnt acknowledged Chihayafuru I absolutely loved it and it's gotten me genuinely interested in karuta. I haven't started playing it yet but it's on my bucket list, like seriously

Mark my words as a Light Novel reader, if the Mushoku Tensei anime can keep up the same level of quality then by the time it ends it will absolutely deserve to be on this kind of list and will be the greatest Isekai of all time. The story is just so fucking good and the writing is fantastic too. The author does a great job of balancing major story elements and hype moments with calm slice of life moments that flesh out the characters and make the world feel very alive.

"Demon Slayer is the 14th best anime of all time, if you've seen 14 anime" is my favorite line in this video. And I haven't watched the rest of it yet.

In 10 years, when most of Mushoku Tensei has been animated, lets have this conversation again.

Legends do not watch from 6:12 to 6:53

Also, yes. Vinland Saga 100000% needed to be on here.

"Can a bad ending ruin this much S-tier material?" Ask Game of Thrones fans.

Would love to see a "most influential anime" list video Not necessarily the best, but the ones with the biggest impact.

Now I’d like to know Gigguk’s top pick for each genre… legit curious as to what he’d choose and why.

Y'know, underneath the crippling Isekai addiction, Garnt has some pretty fantastic taste in anime.

At this point, Garnt is not watching FMA just so the meme lives on.

Now you know how gamers feel with IGN 😭

Garnt is only searching his waifu in anime

Love the choice of using this Kaguya-sama ost track at 9:52. This track is so memeable

IGN is supposed to be for gaming news for gamers worldwide. Edit: MUM, I'M FUCKIN' FAMOUS, LET ME GO TO JAPAN!!!!!!!! HAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I think antagonizing the audience with lists might be the real secret to having higher interaction and more sharing.

I actually rewatched all of Ouran a couple weeks back because it's finally on Netflix, and it stands up pretty well. By comparison, I rewatched Kaichou wa Maid-sama fairly recently, and it was almost painful to watch.

That fucking Ultra Instinct sound clip gets my ass goin' every time lol

I'm Glad Someone Finally Said It

"IGN, you know there are more genres of anime than shounen right?" Exactly what I thought when I saw their top 25 rankings, but to be fair, those are probably just the type of anime their editors would naturally gravitate toward

My favorite is monster. When I first saw it, I was studying criminal justice in high school. I found myself relating to Nina who was doing the same but in university. Johan is the embodiment of all the world's evil. That's what makes him the greatest villain

Tbh I expected a lot worse. I actually had a moment shock realization when JJBA and Baccano were placed close to where I would list them.

Violet Evergarden made me realise that the most mundane thing in the world, the letters and words we type and write, can have an impact far greater than I can define. For that I will be my number 1, even though Your Name is a cinematic masterpiece, even though Demon Slayer had the best animation I have ever seen, I will always remember that letters on a page change the world on a daily basis, for every one who reads them, and only that one show taught me that lesson, and it leaves me bittersweet.

As much as this list made me sad, Gigguk agreeing that Hajime no Ippo is the greatest sports anime ever made this worth watching

3:57 I can confirm that, as a part of latam, most people here woul burn ign hq if it wasnt there

They really shouldnt put anything that isnt done on a best of all time list especially if it has less than 75% of the story done. Any incomplete show can ruin be ruined and there are few shows so good/iconic that I think they can overcome that. Jujutsu Kaisen, Mushokou Tensei, Kaguya can completely fall apart for one reason or another and I would completely forget they exist outside of just shrugging and feeling bad at wasted potential. Also FLCL deserves to be on the list for soundtrack alone, everything else is bonus

Hats off to Alan for making this much more enjoyable. I enjoy the editor creator repartee a lot.

“Can an ending ruin a show so much that it ruins this much s tier material” My south east Asian brother in Christ let me introduce you to a little thing called “Game of Thrones”

The lack of any mecha anime beyond NGE is really weird to me, especially given the 2000's era Toonami influence on the list.

I’m genuinely disappointed that the legend of galactic heroes is not in this list. Those 110 episodes deserve to be number 1 or at least in top 3.

The fact Gintama wasn't on the list is a shame

Me: *reads title* Also me: yeah, they don’t understand games either, shouldn’t this already be common knowledge?

So, Breaking Bad, The guy chase a fly for the entire of the episode... Grant: Best show off all time Also Grant: 12:00

If Connor can read Once Piece, it surely cannot be asked too much for Garnt to read/watch FMA(B)

Why is IGN doing a anime list lol. Also they don't even know gaming thatw well either. Love your content Garnt

I'm sure IGN doesn't even understand most things at this point, not even videogames which are supposed to be their main source of content.

can't wait for Gigguk making another AOT video when the anime finally finished

I was waiting for Monster all video. The relief I felt afterwards

No Gundam, No Macross, No Gurren Lagaan... such a shame

I have to say that the English Dub cast for Cowboy Bebop was absolutely amazing everyone can admit they had a dream cast

Ya know funnily enough Gigguk, I watched a Glass Reflection video on this list and apparently this is an updated list, there used to be more Shoujo and romance anime on the list, but they were taken off this list... in case anyone didn't know that.

Gigguk: AS THE BIGGEST FMA FAN- Me: I'll believe it when you do a review of it. Edit: I also feel attacked by the amount of aot hate in the comments section. The endings not even that bad ;-;

9:00 holy fuck thank you gigguk for shouting out ping pong, it's such a special show to me and I'm so happy whenever it gets any recognition

It really was a list made by a 90s kid. I know because I was one and most of that list is also on my top 100 somewhere. I'd say that it is more of a list of all time popular anime, but not of all time. Theres simply too much anime to make a good list that can hold any show. They should either make a list by genre or some other limiting factor.

The fucking monogatari series guys. Why is no one acknowledging this.

This list is really “top 25 popular anime in America”

Can an anime ending tank a show that much? Yes, yes it can. Case and point: The Great Pretender.

The "I was watching Anime before I was old enough to know what Anime was" Starter Pack

For the love of god Garnt it’s nearly 2023, please watch FMAB

Seeing code geass on this list made me feel good as it’s often forgotten due to its age at this point as well as the fact that it aired near death note. Which is extra funny considering most people who Stan for death note only reference or remember the first half. It’s like the whole world forgot there was a second half.

you really didn't feel the tiniest hint of irony saying "can a bad ending ruin so much S tier material" immediately after talking about Death Note

My favorite anime memory was getting my 9yo sister to watch FMAB with me until Episode 4. Ah good times.

can't believe 86 was not mentioned here 🙁

Just a little but salty that Kaguya-sama isn't on this list unless I blacked out while watching this. Has to be one of the best romance comedy shows to come in the last few years especially with how well animated that show is and how well it translated from Manga to Anime. A-1 Pictures knocked it out the park with the adaptation.

Garnt will now understand what gamers have to suffer with IGN

Garnt needs to just watch fma already when the video "so i finally watched fma" (which is what I fully believe it will be called) drops that shit is literally gonna be peak

My favourite part of mha is when Lemillion straight up asks Eri out on a date. For anyone who says "nah he didn't mean it like that" even deku responded with a "err... Wtf"

That punchline to what was #1 couldn't be any more perfect. Even IGN is telling Garnt to watch FMAB, which of course he should. 😁

the fact that made in abyss is only 21 is a tragedy

I keep forgetting you have two channels I seen this on my feed and was going to watch it later took me a bit to find it since it's not on gigguk

looking forward for garnt to cave and watch FMABH and the inevitable video that'll follow with it

Garnt, Gigguk... Just watch it already. It needs to be done. Also make a video about it, put it behind a paywall and become a billionaire.

IGN should’ve titled the list “top 25 most nostalgic or mainstream anime in the west”.

Gigguk’s reaction every time a mainstream shonen appears on the list shows part of the reason why there aren’t any anitubers with 10million subscribers yet (despite how mainstream anime is)

when gigguk used the og romance/slice of life ost of code geass when code geass appeared... i was suddenly a teen again

Glad you didn't mind Samurai Champloo. It's personally my favorite anime, mostly cause the music and feelings with it resonated with me so much that it shaped the beats and tunes I listen to to this day.

I agree i wouldnt call DBZ greatest even if i grew up with it in the 90's, but i would definitely call it one of the most influential mangas/animes of all time. It affected and inspired many biggest manga authors (like Oda) who in turn inspired many other authors (like Horikoshi). And tbh OG dragonball (pre Z) is still great both anime and manga. especially at what it tried to be.

>IGN doesn't understand anime >he himself doesn't understand anime either pottery

Man I really felt like a gamer when I heard toffee pasta

Surprised the great aclaimed anime like Akira, Ghost in the shell and gibli weren't here

I would like him to make his own 25 list best anime of all time

21:47 Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same.

9:50 I just love seeing this man break in two it's like the ting of the gospels.

This list feels like someone discovered anime through Netflix.

Sailor Moon is only an honorable mention?? WTF

Does Garnt post anywhere online before he starts streaming? I've been following his twitch for close to a year now and never caught one stream live.....

4:21 It’s my favorite show but I do not like to be patronized I know it does not belong there and especially not above Dbz also Gigguk I understand your point but I still think Dbz should be considered best Anime of all time just because of its legacy It’s very Hard deny the impact Dbz has had on the Anime industry and in fans everywhere even though in terms of plot and characters yeah we could probably find a better substitute

21:52 Fucking hell. . . Okay. Yeah. Title of the video was accurate. FMA at number 1? More like FML.

“Oxygen overrated” -Enrico Pucci

hey! what is the song at 11:06 whe n he reviews the honorable mentions, I am sure I know it be can't say where it is from

Yoooo baccano showed up and I was shook.

Garnt: I wouldn't put jojo above 15. Puts jojo at 14 on his crunchyroll list Garnt: why is made in abyss so low at 22? Puts made in abyss at 28 on his crunchyroll list Garnt: devilman crybaby shouldn't be above made in abyss and is too high at 15 Puts devilman at 11 on his crunchyroll list Garnt: ping pong is better than devilman Puts ping pong at 26 on his crunchyroll list XD

Everyone is failing to realize that it's not someone who watched anime in the 2000's , but it's someone who watched anime on Netflix in 2016-2018 and only a couple outside Netflix that was something that they watched because they heard about them from their friend who ACTUALLY watches different anime and gave some personal recommendations And I guess they threw in a couple to ward off haters (something involving demons or something, I dunno)

18:24 - Garnt forgot about one piece

With how highly some have been talking about Monster, Baccano and Legend of the Galactic Heroes, I might need to watch those at some point

I'm glad Garnt pointed out how much One Piece slowed down. Pre-timeskip pacing felt good. Post-timeskip pacing is such a slog.

9:10 the kaguya sama ost is a touch of class edit ( 9:52 as well). ok it’s like if someone just watched love is war recently and got the whole ost

The fact that you mentioned legend of the galactic heroes is the reason I love your content
