Hmm, after so much inconclusive discussion we should have a poll. You can change your vote whenever you like.

I "only" liked FMAB.

An interesting poll there, dai-chan. I chose "No, but it should be in the top twenty!".

I agree with Gor here, around top 20 sounds fine.

Not that I care, but right now the votes agree with FMAB being at least in the top 20

Who cares about rankings? Some like it, some others don't etc. What if it is ranked higher than everything else or not?

I have to admit, overall it's much better than the original series. I am willing to give this an 8.5, but seriously 9.4??? How many people gave this a 10????

1488, and it's roughly a half of all the votes. btw, that's one hell of a number if you know what i'm talking about (google it if you don't ).

p.s. GTO isn't the best anime ever either tbh, yet you scored it 10

And you have a problem with that? I think FMA:B well deserves the high marks considering it's quality stuff for a shounen series. I just happen to like it more than you do.

GTO rates a 10 because it's the funniest anime I've ever seen. Honestly though I scored GTO a 10 because I think it's underrated and needs a higher avg rating. My true rating for it would be a 9.

How is GTO underrated getting an overall average vote of 8.83? Round it up and you get close to 9. Since when is 8.83 a bad score?

You want overrated? Go see Bleach and Naruto.

Yeah GTO isn't perfect but it's still my favorite anime, so I too give it a 10.

Also I voted for the 'top 20' in the poll option.

It should be in top 20, but I can't decide which place. Definitely one of the best so far, but there are other anime which are also great.

I think "best ever" is a bit of a stretch. It's certainly good, though. I just don't have the deep connection with it that I have with other anime; Evangelion comes to mind.

Can't say I care if it's voted first or last. I'm going to like what I like and hate what I hate anyway.

It was so close to my top 5 (6) so i voted for it should be in top 5. It's a freaking good anime and there are many animes that could compete for the top places but having animes at par with this one wont diminish the quality of this one. My top animes change frequently based on what i've last seen but i don't think this will ever fall from my top 20.
