    Robotech was pretty cool altough original Macross was much better and as far as realistic mech combat goes i think that Armoured Trooper VOTOMS was pretty darn accurate, not to mention stoic main character which is insanely more badass than your typical anime protagonist.

    Anime:
    5. Dragonball Z (What can I say, classic from my childhood)
    4. Tie: Trigun - Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 - Cowboy Bebop
    3. Gundam (pretty much every series, 08th MS Team is my favorite)
    2. Tie: Gurren Lagann - Macross (pretty much every series, Zero is my favorite)
    1. Full Metal Panic (every series)

    Manga
    5. Bleach (though I pretend it ended after Aizen was defeated)
    4. Naruto Shippuden
    3. D. Gray Man
    2. Berserk
    1. Claymore

    Would be much easier if I could spit it up into genres.

    As for mangas here are my favorites:
    5. Buster Knuckle
    4. Shingeki no Kyojin
    3. One Piece
    2. Akira
    1. Berserk

    honorable mentions: Bleach, JoJos bizarre adventure, Death Note, Fairy Tail, Fullmetal Alchemist

    @up Manga is like comic but with very distinctive graphics and genres endemic only to it and Anime is similar case, check out short ones like Trava Fist Sky, Dead Leaves, Cowboy Bebop, pretty much everything Ghibli, Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Redline, especially Redline.

    Anime is the tv show and a manga is akin to a comic book/graphic novel.

    Okay, I'm confused, cause there's a company that puts out anime, and their name is Manga...

    Why you ask? Personal spite. That's the only explanation.

    Perhaps you're thinking of Manga Entertainment?

    Anyways, these days many manga's get adapted into animes. Sometimes it goes vice versa, but not often.

    My top 5:
    5: Ghost in the Shell
    4: Guilty Crown (2011)
    3: Cowboy Bebop
    2: Spice and Wolf
    1: A Certain Scientific Railgun/A Certain Magical Index

    Both my number 1 and 2's are adaptations from Light Novels, which are the absolute most awesome thing ever.

    Also, my Honorable mentions: (cause I have no idea where I'd rank them)

    Suzuka
    Persona 4
    Naruto
    Pokemon (yes, it's still an anime...one of my favorites, but it doesn't fit with the others in my top 5...so its in a class of its own. ;))
    Dragon Ball Z
    Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
    Death Note
    Cardcaptor Sakura
    Gundam Seed
    Tokyo Mew Mew (shut up, all of you)
    Angel Beats! (Never watch unless you're a man who can cry)

    ....and that's about it for now. :)

    I just remembered a comment i read for some time ago on youtube
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    "Anime guys are so fucking lucky", you're not kidding.

    All women in anime are beautiful, adorable, have large breasts, find themselves in awkward situations, have the best personalities, fall in love so easily, spend half of their lives naked, and hear me out on this one, for some reason the majority of their parents are nowhere to be found, money is not an issue, they don't have to pay rent, and are adults at fifteen.

    Anime is what life would be in a perfect world.
