Not saying I trust IMDb, but I believe this is an almost fair list. Here is what I think needs to happen:
1. Elfen Lied needs to be on top of at least the two Gundam series. Elfen Lied touches on some real themes, including friendship, prejudice, pain, loneliness, and forgiveness. So it should be in the top 10 IMO.
2. Black Lagoon, Samurai 7, and Gantz should all be higher up than they are.
