Anime Tier List
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Attack on Titan head this Anime tier list. This board ranks anime series, not characters. It mixes finished classics with currently running shows, so the criteria are deliberately broad.
The board
Anime starter board and community tiers
The starter board is dated and editorial. An item moves to its community tier after at least three votes; until then its starter tier stays visible.

What the board currently rewards
No community votes yet. These are the starter picks from the editorial pass.
Method
How this page is built
01 · Starter board
One dated editorial pass
Story payoff, consistency across seasons and rewatch value carry more weight than animation spectacle alone. A show that looks expensive but goes nowhere does not reach S tier.
02 · Community vote
Three votes to move
Votes are hashed by network, not stored with an email. An item only gets a community tier after three votes, so one visitor cannot flip the board.
03 · Trend check
Daily, and logged
A daily job checks Google Trends related searches for “tier list” and records the last successful run. It changes the queue and the score, never the roster silently.
What is Anime?
This board ranks anime series, not characters. It mixes finished classics with currently running shows, so the criteria are deliberately broad.
Story payoff, consistency across seasons and rewatch value carry more weight than animation spectacle alone. A show that looks expensive but goes nowhere does not reach S tier.
This page is not an official ranking from a publisher or developer. It is a dated editorial board plus a public vote, and both are labelled. If a pick looks wrong, vote it down or publish a competing board with the maker.
Reference
What the tiers mean
| Tier | Meaning | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| S | The best of the best | Reserve it for picks you would recommend without hesitation. |
| A | Excellent | Strong choices that just miss the top spot. |
| B | Solid | Dependable picks with a small catch. |
| C | Average | Works, but nothing stands out. |
| D | Below average | Only in specific cases. |
| F | The bottom band | Hard to recommend when alternatives exist. |
FAQ
Anime tier list questions
Is this a characters tier list?
No. This page ranks series. Character boards for specific shows live on their own pages, and the maker can produce one for any cast.
Why is a popular show not in S tier?
Popularity and quality are different axes. The starter board rewards finished, consistent storytelling; the vote panel is where popularity can move the board.
What is the best Anime tier list?
There is no single authority. This page shows a dated starter board and a separate community vote, so you can see where the editorial ranking and the readers disagree. The maker lets you publish a third opinion in a few minutes.
How is this Anime tier list ranked?
Story payoff, consistency across seasons and rewatch value carry more weight than animation spectacle alone. A show that looks expensive but goes nowhere does not reach S tier. The starter board is editorial, the community tier appears after at least three votes on an item, and neither is presented as official publisher data.
How often is the Anime tier list updated?
The site checks Google Trends every day for related searches and records the date of the last successful run. Editorial reviews are dated on the page. Community votes update immediately, so a stale starter board is still visibly separate from live opinion.
Can I make my own Anime tier list?
Yes. Open the tier list maker, pick this roster or add your own items, drag them into S through F, then share a link or download a PNG. No account is required to export an image.
What do S, A, B, C, D and F mean?
S is the top band: the picks you would recommend without hesitation. A is excellent, B is solid, C is average, D is below average, and F is the bottom band. The letters are a convention, not a scientific scale.
Is this Anime tier list free?
Yes. Browsing, voting and using the maker are free. There is no paywall on the board and no account wall on the PNG export.

How to Make a Tier List That People Actually Finish
Most tier lists fail before the first drag: too many items, no criterion, and no reason to share. A practical process for making a board that is fast to build and easy to argue with.

Anime tier lists fail when they mix character writing, power level and personal attachment. Choose one lens, set a spoiler boundary, and keep the roster to the characters the story actually uses.
