Several anime series debut yearly. While some achieve success, others are typically forgotten. It’s difficult to choose the greatest anime of all time because everyone has different opinions. The audience may become confused since multiple parameters are taken into account. Because Naruto and Haikyu are two very different anime, people cannot compare them.
Haikyu is a sports-based anime that will give viewers a burst of excitement, whereas Naruto is a shonen series based on adventure, drama, and ninjas. IMDb launched a poll on the finest anime TV shows to put an end to the heated debate regarding the greatest anime of all time.
