I enjoy /r/nosleep occasionally. /u/1000vultures' story series Penpal was pretty damn good, and I'm pretty sure it turned into a book.
edit: Yup

Yea maybe if you reduce that to 5 years it'll make more sense ;D Mushishi, -monogatari series, Girl who Leapt Through Time, Baccano, Nodame Cantabile... F/Z is a good series, but "top 5 in the last decade"? You'd have to have pretty specific tastes for F/Z to be in your top 5 since 2005. Since 2010, yeah It could probably squeeze into top 5. Though that also might be because I watched more anime in 2005-2010 than I did from 2010 onward, so I know of less stuff that would compete with it.
Didn't realize KnK counted. Definitely top 1 anime.
Haven't liked GitS series, not enough like the movie for my taste. I haven't seen Mushishi or Girl who Leapt Through Time but they are on my backlog. Didn't like Baccano at all but that was only 2 epsiodes. Nodame I've never even heard of.
I'd consider F/Z somewhere close to the top stuff I've seen but I'm incredibly picky in the first place and have only recently begun watching anime at all.
EDIT: Oh and I hated Bakemonogatari with a passion.

Oh. bleh.
I figured it didn't make sense for a new set to be announced while BFZ hype is still all the rage and Origins is barely out.
Sigh I will never have even remotely close to a full HS collection.

You really have to watch all of Fate/Zero to appreciate it >_>
EDIT: sounds hypocritical from someone who quits shows 2-3 episodes in but meh

But then where did you see that news? I don't see it on /r/hearthstone or LH

I think he's talking about HS' Argent Tournament set?
Edit: It's been made pretty explicit by the various references and the timeline relative to other adventures/expansions coincide, Req.
SCP-093 lost part of its cool once it started being too clear on what happened and stuff. It's not that it's actually bad, but it's very clearly inferior to the atmosphere of the early parts.
I generally dislike the creepy pasta SCPs, but that's because my mind is too much of a cretin for me not to dislike creepy pastas in general. I prefer the SCPs which tell a story, focus on being intriguing, or even amusing (some are, like the one which switches owners and you have a list of the personel trying to own it one after the other), or are just nicely crafted.
The majordomo one is pretty fun, as is The "Mister series" (the document isn't updated).
I spent a good chunk of my office time reading the type-moon wiki today. It was super interesting as always, there are a bunch of concepts that are cool/enjoyable/rife with potential and the universe also has quite some depth. Some stuff is cringy or cheesy, sure, but overall I always find it interesting to read about concepts/entities (more so than the articles on characters detailing their storylines).

Oh, that's because Bakemonogatari is a pretty shitty anime. It's an amazing light novel series though, no official translations but there are some unofficial ones on Baka-tsuki.

ahh yeah i think this is the first time i read the recovered matierials for scp093 and it does spell it out quite a bit more. still creepy as fuck tho. saving all these suggestions incase its as slow in the office tomorrow

I think the thing I first think about with the Nasu-verse is the Reality Marble vs Marble Phantasm explanation. Stumbled upon it a few years ago on TV Tropes (first FSN anime; look, the concept of Unlimited Blade Works is cool, 0K? And Reality Marble was the trope namer at the time).
The example using "make it so you pick the white marble" vs "making all marbles white" was pretty straight-forward and illustrated a pretty cool and wide concept, and resembled something I encounted in a friend's homebrew rules a bit later (the system/concepts he built, while inspired by various thing, are really great from a creativity/freedom standpoint), and Umineko uses a pretty similar analogy to compare the nature of Lambadelta's and Bernkastel's powers, which in turn give you clues as to the events. And Umineko is great (but you gotta read, not watch the anime).
The piano part from Alexander's theme is stuck in my head. ._.
If you liked the "mystery" and atmosphere of early SCP-093 expeditions, maybe the lyrics and calmness of that song will suit your tastes, Coma. Apparently it's not really liked amongst Maiden's works, though?

HI guys. I'm a little late with this post it would seem, but, following the discussion of Yamato's feelings towards Bakemonogatari, It's nice to have finally confirmed what I had suspected all along.
Yamato is the devil.

I felt Katanagatari translated better to anime than -monogatari but I didn't list it since its less popular/probably a more contentious choice.
Yamato, what didn't you like about Baccano? You're not the first person to tell me it didn't capture their interest, but the setting/storytelling style captured me instantly so I never really had that problem.

Oo, a new chapter of Hellsing: Dawn, dis gun be gud

I liked the setting but not a whole lot else, really. Perhaps I didn't watch enough but it felt like there were too many characters being followed and I didn't have enough of a reason to care about a lot of them.
