A few months back Madman Entertainment hinted at something big which turned out to be a Top 20 Anime campaign that has finally concluded today. Madman had polled their fan base and compiled the results on what anime series ‘are’ the Top 20 of all time.
Of course lists like this are never definitive and subjective to opinion. This particular list is simply the compiled thoughts of Madman’s fan base and in fact only features series licensed by Madman themselves, so take this list as you will. The following series are the Top 20 best anime of all time, according to Madman Entertainment:
20. Elfen Lied
19. Astro Boy
18. Ghost in the Shell
17. My Neighbour Totoro
16. Fairy Tail
15. Fruits Basket
14. Ouran High School Host Club
13. One Piece
12. Black Butler
11. Akira
10. Spirited Away

As part of Madman’s celebrations of their Top 20 list, all titles that they claim to be the Top 20 best of all time, will now be on sale and can be purchased here at discount prices. Not only that, but they have also created a series of podcasts on each series in the Top 20 which you can listen to here. You can check out a more detailed list here on their official site.
