Pretty sure SnS 3rd season didn't have a flawless plot. Tokyo Ravens had something missing, too, unless I'm mixing it up with the Light Novel. Haven't bothered finishing the first season on fairy tale.

@lathien Not even going to talk about the plot on GC - as I personally found it great to watch when I shut my mind off and only cared about the action and emotional parts.

Bok--
I mean, like, I don't really remember anything in particular from before now, but Aldnoah.Zero is shaping up pretty well as long as that latest plot twist doesn't do a thing.

Or El Cazador de la Bruja because it's so bad it's *amazing* when it's bad.

Dont have a "perfect" anime, but Fate/zero comes pretty close.

Too many to choose from, but Guilty Crown has been pretty good so far O:

I second this too. But, I like the comic ones more than the anime. Y

my best anime endings (cause they tell a whole lot about the story, as well as how good the anime is)
First: Guilty Crown
Sec: Gosick
Third: Angel beats
all beautifully crafted

A very tough question. I think it'd be a knife fight between Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Clannad Afterstory. Death Note and Steins Gate would come really close though.

Well, on one hand, Cowboy Bebop is considered by most to be the "best" anime out there... though I think the strength of the series is more character-based than plot-based, since the series doesn't have a major overarching plot more than 5 or 6 episodes connecting over the series.

If you want an anime with a clever plot that works well on various levels, I'd go with Steins: Gate... I recently finished it and wow... the story is very well done.

But believe in you! Who believes in yourself!

Just who the heII do you think I am?

If you didn't know already, it's Gurren Lagann.

It's all very subjective, even if you limit it to the best anime in a certain genre.

It's hard to define a "flawless" anime since what some people see as flaws might not be true to other people. An example would be that some people might think the pacing is a bit slow while others believe it to be just right. It also depends a lot on the genre; everything that makes a slice of life anime great wouldn't work in a action anime.

[quote=SanjuPM]Hunter x Hunter Chimera ant arc I would say is NEAR perfection, (dont think anything can be 100%, its always good to have anime top others, but its an arc, however its at the top of my list)
a close second is Steins gate, (I didnt like the part where it was getting harem-ISH with the dating cycle he was going though (dont kill me on this ppl)

Since your asking for a complete anime I would give it Steins gate[/quote]

Wahhh, hunter x hunter was rly good for me until the chimera ant arc :O. I don't know why i didn't like that arc, but the rest is great.
