Highest Rated Anime Episodes of All Time
The 100 best anime episodes by MyAnimeList rating, from the 300 most popular anime, max 5 episodes per series. Only popular anime count, because an obscure show can reach 10.0 from a couple of votes, and the cap keeps long series like One Piece from filling the list. Episodes with the same score are listed by popularity. Scores are on a 1–10 scale (MAL's 1–5 star episode votes, doubled), and episode numbers follow each anime's episode rating grid.
