This show had an option to watch it in one of two orders straight from the DVD menu! You may want to skip through about 3 hours of it though.

What is, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya?"

Before this children's show received the 4Kids treatment, it had 26 episodes of original content! These featured much more varied punishments for losers, and a more pervy MC!

What is "Yugioh?"

Now a meme, the Naruto run was something immediately adopted by awkward high schoolers. But why did the animators make this choice?

What is, "it's easier to not have to animate arms while running?"

Dear God, thank you

Even if it's just destiny pulling a prank on me

I'm so glad of the fact that

We both had met

What is, "Renai Circulation?" (Monogatari Series)

When she held them to her chest, they could die peacefully. I thought her bosom needed to be as such.

What is, "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind?"

This somewhat middling show nonetheless received both a prequel AND a sequel... that aired in the same season!

What is "Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero?"

This show was a viral hit almost immediately after airing, not only for its cute anthropomorphic characters, but also the hints of a sinister dystopian future.

What is "Kemono Friends"?

600

Rotoscoping is a method that involves tracing over live action footage. Despite taking a drastic turn from the manga, some like this series for being the first to embrace rotoscoping and being "ugly."

What is "Aku no Hana?"

600

I'm sane, but it's trick or treat?

I'm right, but it's truth certainly. 

Well then "awesome!" 

Welcome to tragedy!

What is "Fake Town by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN? (Kekkai Sensen S2)

You didn't like the ending? This renowned director and animator infamously grabbed the microphone at an event and said "Too bad."

Who is "Hideaki Anno" about Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Monogatari is famously told out of order. Which arc (not including Zoku) is chronologically last?

What is "Hanamonogatari?"

1200

This melancholy show's score contains the piece I played for my first solo cello recital.

What is "Princess Tutu?"

1200

This show is more known for its innovative usage of CGI, but we mustn't forget about its gorgeous hand-painted backgrounds.

What is "Houseki no Kuni?"

1200

Sad, sad, sad, sad

Happy, happy, happy, happy

Shaken by the two emotions

I just illuminate the destination I can't see yet

What is, "Kanashi Ureshii by Frederic?" (Koi to Uso)

1200

When I made this film, I thought some people would like it, but that many people would say that "it's unforgiveable." But I think that's acceptable if the film is entertaining.

What is "Weathering With You?"

1600

One of the more unique rewatches on /r/anime involved this show, where you would just tune in on the actual day that the episode was happening. It took over 7 months to complete!

What is "Hidamari Sketch?"

1600

In Inuyashiki, the sociopathic main villain gleefully goes on a killing spree at an unsuspecting residence. However, when the daughter comes home, he's more interested in these two manga she's into rather than murdering her. She must've voted with the public!

What is, "One Piece and Attack on Titan?"
1600

In order to really sell the otherwordliness of Clannad's... well, other world, this trick of animation was used.

What is "animating on ones, as opposed to on twos"?

Cryin’ won’t pave a way to forgiveness

Every sin you carve is ever lasting 

I’m lost in this maze of emotion

Who am I waiting for?


What is "Again by Yui?" (FMA: Brotherhood)

1600

Looking at things objectively or subjectively gives two very different images. For an outsider, the dreams and the film within a film are easy to separate from the real world. But for the person who is experiencing them, everything is real. I wanted to describe that kind of situation...

Who is "Satoshi Kon, about Perfect Blue?"

2000

Fate is infamous for its convoluted storyline. In the original Fate/stay night however, if you liked a specific heroine, you just needed to choose one of these branching points to get your girl!

What is, "Shirou stops Saber with a command seal or not," or "Shirou brings Sakura home."

What is "Elfen Lied?"

2000
Furiko, or Pendulum, is a short 4 minute flip-book-esque animation by comedian Tekken. It's emotional journey is emphasized by its soundtrack, which is just this one song by this rock band featured in Guitar Hero 3.

What is "Muse"?

2000

Finally, you've given me

A reason to be strong

And we'll stand

Hand in hand

'Till the end!

What is "Gurenge"? (Kimetsu no Yaiba)
2000

It’s easy to draw those kinds of perfect imaginary movements. It’s more difficult to draw, say, animal movements that everyone knows- like horses and rats. It’s very valuable for people who have a variety of expressions or who have the talent to draw many things in TV series. I’m a director this time, so I can’t do the real animating job. I have to leave it to someone to free up my own hands so I rely on Hori there.

Who is "Yoh Yoshinari, about Little Witch Academia?"
