No surprise to see K-On, Railgun, Madoka, Attack On Titan, Oreimo, Sword Art Online and AnoHana. These are all instant classics. Some of them would make my Top 10 All Time list.

I'm glad to see Squid Girl, Girls und Panzer and Kuroko's Basketball. Those are all fun shows.

I'm disappointed some of these series didn't make the list:

Chihayafuru
Haganai
Hyouka
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions
Natsume's Book of Friends
The Pet Girl of Sakurasou
YuruYuri

How old is the oldest show on the list?

Re: The Best Anime Shows This Decade (so far)
 

2010. It's shows from this decade. So 2010 to today.

I think the oldest is Durarara!! (Jan 2010). Then it's Heart Catch Precure (Feb 2010). K-On!! is April 2010. Oreimo, Squid Girl & Milky Holmes are Oct 2010.

K-ON is the only one I've seen. :(

Re: The Best Anime Shows This Decade (so far)
 

I'm surprised Nyarko San is on there, honestly, I thought the second season was garbage.

It should be bumped off the list and replaced with Angel Beats.

Re: The Best Anime Shows This Decade (so far)
 

So far I have seen that are ranked top 20:

A Certain Scientific Railgun
Attack on Titan
Girls und Panzer

But not all are on Hulu - it might have to force me to subscribe Crunchyroll. :(

Re: The Best Anime Shows This Decade (so far)
 

My list of top animes are

Angel Beats!

Clannad

Kanon

Sword Art Online

A Certain Scientific Railgun

A Certain Magical Index

Last Exile

Chrono Crusade

Maburaho


I am going to stop listing because everyone has different kind of animes they like. I didn't even care to watch over half of the surveys favorite animes.

Re: The Best Anime Shows This Decade (so far)
 

A lot of these aren't in this decade though (assuming we're going by original Japanese release/television airing, even Railgun barely makes it). I'm not even sure I've watched 10 anime that came out this decade (though I have been watching a lot of 80s stuff).

Re: The Best Anime Shows This Decade (so far)
 

Hellsing and Clannad didn't make the list? Is this representative of general tastes in Japan or is this sample skewed in some way? I had no idea that Tiger & Bunny was so popular.

I was hoping Spice & Wolf had made the list.

Re: The Best Anime Shows This Decade (so far)
 

The rank specifically anime shows that made this decade (2010 to 2019), get it?

Re: The Best Anime Shows This Decade (so far)
 

I had taken it as a list from the past decade, 2003-2013. That would change the list's content. I was wondering why so many recent shows had made it but simply thought current fans had short memories.
