What are some titles you would consider almost made it to your favorites list, but were held back to certain flaws. For me, it would be Mushoku Tensei without a doubt. Had all the makings for a great fantasy show that I would adore, but the creepy pdf protagonist ruins every scene he is in. What are yours?

Monster
Apothecary diaries
Frieren
Just to name them just because I rate them high and highly enjoy them and recommend them doesn't mean that they speak to me on the fundamental level which is for what I keep my favorite for.

Naruto had all the makings to be my favorite series of all time, but it didn't really realize its full potential. Still loved it tho

Touch... mostly because it was one of my favorites, until it wasn't. Still feel gross for removing it, just to make space for something else.

I love being a free-tier user, and having to play "musical chairs, but one of the chairs is secretly an electric chair" with my faves all the time.

Pretty much every anime that I have rated a 9/10.

Cowboy Bebop... I love it. I really do. Including the ending. But I just thought if it was twice as long and included more character depth (backstory + development) it would have been a proper 10/10.

can't yuck my yum

Agent AIka - It should have been longer and more fleshed-out. Najica Blitz Tactics takes places in the same universe and got it perfect.
Aishite Knight/Rock n Roll Kids - I remember really wanting to rate this a 10, but for some reason I couldn't and it was so long ago that I forgot why. I'll probably give it a rewatch at some point.
Mitsudomoe - I thought about it, but Kodomo no Jikan was much better.
Mirai Nikki/Future Diary - I found one of Yukiteru's friends really annoying.
Seven Deadly Sins - The first season was actually really good, but after that it gradually went downhill and became shit when they introduced the "power level" garbage.
A Certain Magical Index/Scientific Railgun - Again, first seasons were really good but each season after got progressively worse (Espeically with Magical Index. Scientific Railgun's later seasons, while not as good as the first, were still decent).

half of the anime i have rated an 8. they dont necessarily have any flaws; they just didnt resonate with me as deeply as some others. i mean, i still havent even managed to complete my favourite list.

@Notoshin Interesting. Well would you say an anime that is flawed, but resonated with you deeply is more likely to end up on your favorites list then?

I know it wasn't my question, but Evangelion is just like that for me. It has its flaws but its themes and atmosphere sucked me in, as well as the characters. It got an 8 from me but I still put it in my favorites

i guess so. themes, characters and emotional impact can often overshadow any flaws an anime might have. i mean almost every anime has its imperfections, whether theyre minor or significant. so its the personal connection that matters in the end

hopefully i answered the question properly lmao i should be sleeping rn

The Daughter of twenty faces I love this anime the only flaw is that I wish that Chiko would continue as a thief to find Twenty faces than go back to Japan and what happen there.

I disliked the ending but rest of the anime is pretty good. Ending made me lower the score from 9 to 6 or 7

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU

I give it a 9.9/10

It could have been one of my favourites if it had slightly excited me more than it did.

A lot of romance anime like Giji harem. Its good but dry at some point.
Jujutsu Kaisen. Enjoyable but flawed. Not the best explained power system and everything after the Gojo vs sukuna was trash.

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Kodomo no Omocha, because the anime original fillers starting from episode 67 are nowhere near as good as what came before. If only MAL split s1 and s2 I could have at least added the first season to my favs, but they aired without a break.

Great Pretender. They messed up the ending, it was way over the top, rather disappointing.

This danceis the pinnacle of human achievement.

@ShuisBased2
I can't think of anything. The show is pretty solid, after all.

Looking back, I realize the show has the qualities of a 10/10. However, I trust my past decisions and feelings. At the time, I felt it was a 9 so it will stay that way.

Ballroom e Youkoso could have been one of my favorites, but there’s only one season, and I want more.

Happy Sugar Life would have been one of my favorites if it was longer.

YuYu Hakusho would have been one of my favorites if it was shorter.
