Humor
(1) Hajime no Ippo (especially New Challenger)
(2) Slam Dunk
(3) Golden Boy
(4) Ouran High School Host Club
(5) Welcome to the NHK

(1) Green Green (to think that an ecchi series is on top of my list)
(2) Saiunkoku Monogatari
(3) Fushigi Yuugi
(4) Ouran High School Host Club
(5) can't think of any ATM (maybe Detective Conan will do)

4) The Big O

Character Development

1) Death Note
2) Baccano

[OMG I MADE IT TO 5!]

Thats it for me...

[kkslider5552000]

Unlike everyone else, I'm looking at the actual score

I was looking at the actual score too. 

[Xytan]

I'm surprised only one person has mentioned Gintama so far... Its a bit inane, even so much silly and random, yet it gives you a laugh everytime...

Now excuse me while I look for a t-t-t-t-t-t-t-time ma-mach-machine...

[pofa]

Unlike everyone else, I'm looking at the actual score

I was looking at the actual score too. 

So was I. Otherwise, much as I love TWO-MIX, I wouldn't have picked Gundam Wing. Or TRC.
