Top 10 Best Anime Episodes
The problem about anime is that you can't just see your favorite episode of an anime, whenever you want! Still there are some episodes, that just stood out for being simply incredible!
Oh... My... God! Best episode of this series so far. Excellent animation, excellent structure. This is how all battle episodes should be. Someone who was rooting for Todoroki instead of the main protagonist could really be afraid of Izuku as an enemy.
It was a battle where the two opponents were scary to each other, keeping the viewer excited about what's going to happen. The flashbacks were really well-timed, and the scenes that needed special animation and soundtrack were excellent, such as Todoroki using the fire plus the flashbacks, or the final blow between him and Izuku. Best episode ever!
Light thought he was the smartest man in town, but L was one step ahead!
That first time you realize how much of a threat L actually is... This episode is pure gold.
This is where it all began: the greatest cat and mouse chase in anime history.
Undebatably the best anime ending of all time. The episode itself is godly.
The greatest episode in the history of anime. Nothing comes close!
The ending is just a pure masterpiece. Nothing comes close to it!
The best episode you can ever ask an anime to make. Although we all know that Light is somehow going to survive, we did not know whether Naomi Misora would. For all we know, she could have survived and given information to the police, and the plot could have been awesome from there on, too. Plus, it showed that Light would indeed kill anyone if they threatened him, which is another way of character development.
And the ending, the ending. As Naomi's face becomes dark and lifeless, she heads on to her inevitable suicide, to the stairs of heaven. Just a godlike episode.
The greatest anime episode ever. Levi taking on the Beast Titan, Armin taking on the Colossal Titan, Mikasa and the Survey Corps taking on the Armored Titan, and Erwin taking the charge. Everything you liked about the series is stuffed into a single episode.
This could be the greatest episode I have ever seen in anything. Everything from Erwin to Armin is absolutely amazing.
One of the best TV show episodes ever. It's up there with the best Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Sopranos episodes.
Underdog vs. Monster. It's really cool to see a side character beating up one of the main villains from the series.
After the loss of Ayumi, Yuu separates himself from others out of grief but soon finds himself going down a dark path from which there may be no return.
Charlotte may not be one of the best anime, but this one episode hits very hard!
Woah, this came out of nowhere.
What an episode!
Music connects people together. This episode justified it so well, even if it's from our world to the afterlife (Heaven). Kaori and Kosei play violin and piano to their final masterpiece performance.
The Newcomers
"Pierrot Le Fou," one of the best episodes in the series, is also a stand-alone horror episode. Here, the horror is taken to much more sinister and terrifying directions as Spike Spiegel confronts an opponent that nearly kills him.
The origin of Mad Pierrot, one of the scariest animé villains ever, is revealed, and the animation adopts a much darker art style, making this an episode that is beautiful but not for the faint of heart.
This episode was pure nightmare fuel! The story, the setting, the visuals, and the soundtrack were all bone-chilling!
Easily the most horrifying animé episode ever.
This was a great episode! The build-up to the final point and the payoff were done so well! We saw Yamaguchi and Sugawara get subbed in to help relieve some of the pressure on the rest of the team. Yamaguchi, unfortunately, couldn't score any points due to how good Seijoh is, but it was nice to see him have another opportunity. Suga came in to add different attacks, get some good serves in, and help with receiving, which is always a plus.
This episode had a ton of action, from the final point to the amazing receives done by both teams, and the dump by Kageyama at the perfect time. This is one of the best Haikyuu episodes for that reason. The emotional payoff from this episode was huge, but the gameplay was also so well done.
This episode is stunning and amazing. Every moment of it gives me chills, and it has so much symbolism and foreshadowing. Everything about this episode is beautifully done - the animation, the tone, the music, the writing, the script. The foreshadowing with the bells and the metaphor in the scene where L washes Light's feet add to how this episode left me in complete shock.
The smile on Netero's face is just terrifying. I almost feel bad rooting for humanity. That's how crazy this is.
This episode was perfect. The animation, drawing, voice acting, directing, and the overall feeling were amazing. Thanks, Madhouse!
The moment when everything clicks from the first episode and you realize exactly what happened on July 28, 2010, at the Radio Tower is the best scene in all of anime, and just one example of the excellent storytelling in this masterpiece of an anime.
There's one thing I look for most when watching an anime: feels! And this episode is the definition of that.
Good grief, I was not prepared for the feels train to hit me like this in the first episode. It's weird because I don't normally feel anything at funerals in real life, but just seeing everyone's reaction to Yusuke's death made me cry like a baby, even though I don't even know him.
The voice of Keiko was so emotional. Her screams didn't sound like acting. It was as if someone had really died. Kuwabara showed all signs of grief. It's just the first episode, and oh, the feels. The feels!
Clannad took two seasons for me to cry just a bit. This show got me tearing up in one episode, and it was my first time watching it, so I had no connection to any characters yet. This episode is just a canon of feels.
The greatest plot twist in the history of anime when you realize that the guy you thought was a crazy murderer is, in fact, a hero saving people from shadows.
Best villain to hero plot twist in any anime.
This is arguably the best episode of the entire series, which is, without a doubt, a masterpiece of a show. After four average episodes, Ballad of Fallen Angels comes as a tornado and takes everyone by surprise. The story involves Spike's past and his inability to escape it. His story can be described in no other words but brilliantly. It introduces his arch-nemesis, who also captures the role of a ruthless villain beautifully.
The episode starts strong and takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride. The soundtrack is masterfully done, capturing every moment beautifully. The whole episode is full of thrill, tension, and emotions. The church shootout is certainly one of the most iconic scenes of the series. Overall, this episode truly proves what Bebop is all about, and it is near perfection.
Damn, I was overjoyed when Lust died! Seriously, what a brutal killer she was. And when she killed Maes, I was so sad I spoiled three boxes of tissues. All hail Roy Mustang!
Many episodes of this anime are awesome, but this one is the starting point of the change in the characters and their development.
Mustang quietly reminds us he is the biggest badass in the most explosive way.
An episode with good shots, tension (especially in THAT scene), and a very interesting color palette. Here, Light gets serious against L and is totally determined to kill him. That laugh at the end is really great!
It only took him a matter of days to narrow down Kira's location and correctly suspect Yagami Light. That's how much of a genius L is!
Ash and co. get enveloped in a strange mist where the boundaries between the real world and the afterlife blur. Ash and Torracat reunite with Stoutland, Torracat's mentor. Lillie and Gladion search for their father inside the mist. Mallow is worried about meeting her mother after the last words her mother heard from her were, "I hate you."
This is one of the saddest but also the sweetest anime episodes ever!
Oh, Sun and Moon! I'm so sorry for all the insults at the beginning. I am glad for everything. The stories, the characters... I will miss everyone. I can't believe how Sun and Moon turned itself into one of the best series in Pokémon. But what made the series legendary is this episode. It's a pure tear-jerker where you'll cry tears of both sadness and happiness.
I was so amazed when he transformed into Super Saiyan that I ran around my house in amazement.
