Suggestions the community voted down are excluded, and where several seasons of one franchise were nominated they are counted once, under the franchise.

3 of them have a watch order here , so if one appeals you can see every series, film and OVA in it laid out in order before you start: Frieren: Beyond Journey's End , Witch Hat Atelier , Detective Conan .
