Top 10 Best Animes of the 2010s
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is an anime series adapted from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga by Hiromu Arakawa. The best one here. It started in 2009 and ended around July 2010. I think Soul Eater ended in 2009, although the dub DVDs were released only in 2010. But then, we should still call it a 2009 anime. Black Butler has three seasons: one produced in 2008, one in 2010, and one currently ongoing.
One of the all-time best. Very well-written.
No doubt about it. It's one of the best anime ever made, although I also liked Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Attack on Titan.
Premiering in 2010, this anime series is an adaptation of a light novel by Ryohgo Narita. Set in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district, the show weaves multiple storylines involving supernatural entities and gang wars. The series has garnered a strong following due to its intricate plot and ensemble cast. This is the best anime ever! There should be a season 2! This might even replace Bleach and Naruto if they keep making episodes!
This should be at the top of every anime list on this website.
Not even close. Durarara is the best. Next list, please!
Sword Art Online is a series of Japanese light novels written by Reki Kawahara and illustrated by abec. In 2012, it received an anime adaptation produced by A-1 Pictures and the SAO Project, and is directed by Tomohiko Ito . The first season is divided into two arcs known as "Aincrad" and "Fairy Dance"... read more SAO is good, but I don't think it deserves to be No. 1.
A very beautiful conclusion to my favorite childhood anime.
Blue Exorcist is an anime series directed by Tensai Okamura and produced by A-1 Pictures, which adapts the Blue Exorcist manga written and illustrated by Kazue Kato.
Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese, created by Hajime Isayama, is one of the most popular Japanese anime series to be released. It was first watched in Japan during 2013 and was dubbed in English to be watched in America in 2014.

It is one of my favorite anime series, with wonderful characters and good development over time.
My favorite anime of the time, with almost everything you want out of an anime.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a 2011 Japanese anime television series produced by Shaft and Aniplex, directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, written by Gen Urobuchi, music by Yuki Kajiura, opening sang by ClariS, ending by Kalafina (sometimes by the seiyuus) and original characters by Ume Aoki.
Steins;Gate is a 2011 anime television series created by the animation studio White Fox based on 5pb. and Nitroplus's 2009 video game of the same name, and is part of the Science Adventure franchise. This is an amazing anime. It's about time travel, a character-driven sci-fi story that does a wonderful job with the characters. This anime will make you laugh at the bantering between the characters, cry at the serious twist halfway through the series and again near the end at the sacrifices the main character had to make. The wonderfully executed romance is also moving. I recommend it to practically everyone.
Deadman Wonderland is a Japanese manga series written by Jinsei Kataoka and illustrated by Kazuma Kondou, who also wrote and illustrated the Eureka Seven manga, and published in Shōnen Ace since 2008. Great opening, great story, only 12 episodes. Shiro is so cute and insane.

How have Black Butler and SAO been mentioned but not this masterpiece?
This needs to be in the top three.

Naruto Shippuden is also the greatest anime of 2010.
It is the greatest anime of 2010, according to my point of view. It is better than Naruto because Naruto is too boring. All the secrets are revealed in Shippuden only.
No. 28, are you kidding me? It has to be at No. 1. It's the best ever!
Black Rock Shooter all the way. Ever seen a girl wearing black, who has a robotic arm and a blue flame of eternal life (that's what I like to call it) in her eye? This girl is called Black Rock Shooter, and she will make herself known.
Have you ever seen a girl who can light a flame in her eye and ultimately kick butt? BRS is just too epic not to watch. Who can hold a cannon that's almost 3/4 their size?
Hell yeah, Black Rock Shooter is the best anime character ever. Nobody beats BRS.
