Anime streaming service Crunchyroll has revealed what it believes to be the top 100 anime of the last decade, across TV, film and OVA.
While there is no overall “No. 1” choice, the website’s editorial team who decided the 100 anime split the top 25 from the rest of the chart.
Crunchyroll said that: “To say that the past decade has been a transformative one for the anime industry would be a massive understatement.

Some fans, including members of the Anime UK News forums, have been quick to highlight some anime that were missing from Crunchyroll’s top 100. These include Assassination Classroom, Free!, Monogatari, Penguindrum and Your Lie in April. There has also been criticism regarding what appears to be a preference for more recent series, including some anime that have only just started airing or being released like Demon Slayer, while also including anime that had begun in the 2000s but had later seasons in the 2010s, such as the second series of K-On!
Among the members of the Crunchyroll editorial team who judged the list were Reem Ali, Kyle Cardine, Paul Chapman, Cayla Coats, Kara Dennison, Daniel Dockery, Daryl Harding, Rene Kayser, Joan Lainé, Joe Luster, Nicole Mejias, Carlos Moncken, Humberto Saabedra, Miles Thomas, Sergio Vaca, Francesco Ventura and Azaly Zeldin.
