Iunno...what's the best music genre? What's the best ever movie? It's too broad of a question.

Ghost in the shell 2nd gig. It's more refined, lots more action, deep plots that relates to our global problems with conflict, intellegent. Either that or cowboy bebop, which is good because it's like a mix of alot of different genres all in one.

Queens Blade.  Why?  Lots of boobies.
 
For reals though.  It all depends on tastes.  Some mecha fanboy will pick Evangelion while some fanboy who likes romance stuff will pick Clannad.

Very broad question.   Give me something to work with here man, like "what is the best anime you've seen recently" or "what anime has the best soundtrack" or "what anime is the best in humor"
 
I'll just leave you with my favorite anime I guess, Cowboy Bebop.

What's the best anything? Can any of us really say for certain? Does the best mean perfect? The least flaws? One man's best could be another man's worst. Is there something better than the best? Will I ever stop asking questions and start posting something relevant?

Death Note. Because it has a complex and well written story. Whether your rooting for the good guys or the bad guys, the ending is still satisfying.

@Abyssfull:  yes but not in all cases, say that you are into gundam and is a big fan who will do just about anything to waaatch a episode,
upon meeting a question like this, you will no doubt put gundam down there as your fav,
and plus, i dont want any anime to be sifted out because of specifications.

My favourite so far has been Bakemonogatari. I don't watch much anime so my views may be somewhat constricted but the visual style was just incredible.

I second this so much. Bakemonogatari looks amazing, and Araragi doesn't fall into the nauseating "stupid but full of SPIRIT" male teenage anime hero cliche or the boring "troubled, dark, and anti-social" cliche.  
 
I also like FLCL for its craziness.

Yeah, Arararararararagi-kun was a great character... To be fair, most of the characters were pretty awesome. One of my favourite parts of the series was Araragi vs. Kanbaru.
 
 
  Such awesome art and voice-acting. Those screams are spine-chilling.
 
And now I have an urge to re-watch Bakemonogatari. Dammit.

Cowboy Bebop. The soundtrack, characters, story... all perfect. 
 
Jupiter Jazz is one of my favorite episodes of anything ever, and the song that plays at the end is amazing.
 
Also, it has the best intro ever.

I recently watched Black Lagoon, it was pretty enjoyable at best but don't expect too much out of it.  As for my favourite anime it would have to be Hellsing Ultimate.

YES. That fight was amazing, and it really makes me hope that  they do a prequel of what happened to Araragi when he first met Shinobu during Spring Break. The flashbacks of him as a vampire in the beginning of the first episode look insane.

While I never went to deep into Cowboy Bebop (I was more of a Samurai Champloo fan), its intro is definitely one of the best I've heard.

I think it's likely. After all, Bakemonogatari is based on the book, which has prequels and sequels. I believe Kizumonogatari is the light novel that would be when Araragi met Shinobu. I really hope they animate both Kizumonogatari and Nisemonogatari. It'd be awesome.

@eternitymemory: Yeah, watching that was what got me interested in it in the first place. I love the style though. It has that weird japanese sense of humor but it's dramatic at the same time. So good <3

I was rooting for Light (who I considered the good guy) and was very disappointed in the ending.
 
As for my favorite anime that's to hard a question, but top spots are Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Hellsing Ultimate, and Gundam Wing

I haven't watched anime since elementary (which was about 10 years ago) so DBZ and Pokemon are the only old school anime that I actually know.

Samurai Champloo for sure. I loved Cowboy Bebop before it but something about the mix of anime and hip-hop in Champloo just clicked with me. I teared up a little at the crossroads in the finale but it was more about the different adventures the characters had throughout the season rather than the ending, similar to Bebop, a show that fought hard for first place along with Ghost in the Shell but lost out.

My favorite at this moment in time would either have to be Clannad or Angel Beats. The endings of both could have been done better, but Angel Beats definitely has a better ending, plus the comedy in it is just so damn good.

Bleach! 
 
In all seriousness though, this is one of the worst most annoying questions ever, no matter what the topic is. It's also extremely pointless. 
 
Now best anime of this season, or specific year, or genre, that's a much better question.
