S Top 50 Anime of the Decade: #10 to #1. We're at the end of the line, folks. You've been riding with us all week as we counted down our picks for the top 50 anime of the last ten years. #50-#41, #40-#31, #30-#21 and #20-#11 are all done. You might have some complaints to give, legs to break or horse heads to leave in my bed (it can fit about 4 with me in there), but you've stuck with us thus far. So, are you ready to check out some of the greatest titles of the last ten years?

I'd like to thank Ben Huber for creating the template that you see on the charts, and the entire staff for helping to vote on these titles and give this list a sense of semblance. Honey and Clover is serious business. Honey and Clover managed to mimic real life much better than we ever expected to see in anime, and that's why it's taken a spot in our top ten anime of the decade.

Ten Anime Films You Should See Before You Die. One of the most surprising, and gratifying, things that has happened since I started my blog, Tim Maughan Books, a year or so ago is the positive feedback I’ve had for the anime reviews—especially from people I know are far from being massive fanboys like myself. It’s gratifying because its part of the reason I started writing them; to try and introduce the medium to people who had never really indulged in it all, at least not past perhaps watching Spirited Away with their kids. The problem is, once you’ve had your first taste, where do you go next? Type ‘anime’ into Google and the results are bewildering, and without a little bit of guidance and a quality filter finding something to watch can be a daunting task.
