Naruto shippuden is my all time favourite anime. The world building, storytelling, and characters all captivated me. I enjoyed watching all the episodes.

I recently finished the Tournament of Power arc in Dragon Ball Super. What I really appreciate about the show is that it can manage to have intense moments yet not take itself seriously all the time. There is a good amount of comedy both in the show itself and in the names, like naming characters after food. It also has one of the most optimistic worldviews of any franchise, anime or otherwise. Villains often become future friends and battles aren't always about good versus evil, sometimes they just enjoy battling and improving their techniques.

all time? i'd have to go with Naruto. I mean, aside the phantom troupe of HxH no anime has a well organisized and developed villian group like the AKATSUKI. Sure there are new great animes like jujutsu kaisen, bungo stray dogs, kimetsu no yaiba etc. Naruto is a nostalgic anime for me and is definitely my all time favourite.

When it comes to picking favorites I can't when it comes to anime. But the anime I'm currently obsessed with at the moment is Hell's Paradise.

I don't think I can pick one. But if I were to chose two, I would choose Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken. And The Rising Of The Shield Hero.

I know this might be slightly overrated but I am a huge, huge One Piece fan. I absolutely love the character and story development in it. I also love Fairy Tail, Black Clover and Naruto Shippuden. I'm pretty sure I've watched more but at the top of my head, I love these. Pokemon, Death Note and Dragon Ball Z as well!

My all-time favorite anime is My Neighbor Totoro. I’ve watched this numerous times with my family as our bonding moment. We absolutely love the story, the soundtrack, the scenery, and how they portray the idyllic countryside life. This brings me back to my own childhood spent in the countryside, with all the superstitious beliefs and traditional ways in our village. It’s an anime movie we love to watch as a family and a story I enjoy remembering always.

Maybe it is not well-known, but I loved Heaven Official's Blessing. It is a Chinese anime adapted from a novel. It tells the story of a young immortal prince that was banned from Heaven.
The animation is incredible, the story is really cool, the soundtrack is amazing, really a great show!

During my childhood, I adored watching Digimon and Pokemon. Recently, I stumbled upon an anime named "Hajime no Ippo," centered around boxing. The story revolves around a young boy who transitions from being bullied to becoming a successful boxer, all while juggling humor and showcasing the main character, Ippo's, grounded and hardworking nature. Ippo manages to balance his family business, boxing, and studies, making it a compelling watch. Netflix hasn't yet released part 2.

OMG my favorite is Attack on Titans!! I love love the Ackermans especially Levi and Mikasa. I like Kenny too even though he was a brute to Levi... just the fighting style of that bloodline would send me chills. I couldnt wait for the final season of AoT and I actually read the manga to finish it
I also love Demon Slayer & Tokyo Ghoul (Love Kaneki!!). I like Black Clover, Tokyo Revengers & Jujitsu Kaisen

"Naruto" holds a special place. Its themes of perseverance, friendship, and self-discovery resonate deeply. The character development and epic storytelling create a lasting impact.

Yu Yu Hakusho. Nowadays this anime is not so mainstream, but in the 90s it was a real hit in Japan.
