5 Anime That Have Ended and Don't Have a Single Episode with a Bad Rating

In the rapidly evolving anime industry, finding a series that can maintain its quality from start to finish is a rare achievement. Many big titles often start their journey with a bang, dazzling audiences with unique premises, stunning animation, or deep characters, only to later experience a decline in quality in subsequent seasons. This phenomenon often leaves disappointment among loyal fans.

However, amidst the many fluctuating series, there are a few masterpieces that have managed to carve their names with extraordinary consistency. These anime not only end with a satisfying ending, but also manage to maintain high standards of quality in every episode, without a single moment feeling "bad" or far below expectations. Here are five anime that deserve a thumbs up for their record of quality consistency:

1. Cowboy Bebop

Cowboy Bebop is a classic sci-fi that remains relevant to this day, largely due to the consistency of quality across its 26 episodes. The series successfully balances engaging episodic adventures with a larger narrative centered around Spike and the villain Vicious. Lovable characters, clever humor, and existential themes ensure that each episode, whether plot-focused or standalone, captivates the audience.

2. Mob Psycho 100

Mob Psycho 100 is often referred to as a masterpiece, and it's hard to find a single bad episode among its three seasons. Although there are slower arcs, the anime remains outstanding, even in its quiet moments. In fact, it is the everyday character dynamics that make viewers care about the larger conflicts. Only one episode has a rating slightly below 7.5 on IMDb, yet it still maintains the series' commitment to coming-of-age themes and stunning animation. The "worst" visuals of Mob Psycho 100 are even said to be better than the "best" visuals of many other anime.

3. Erased

With only 12 episodes, Erased manages to deliver high quality in each episode. As a mystery thriller that involves time travel to solve a murder, Erased successfully makes every chapter meaningful, both in building the mystery and delving into character and lore. All of its episodes received ratings of 8 or higher on IMDb. Although the ending is somewhat controversial (different from the manga as the source material is still ongoing), the series successfully concludes its story satisfactorily and leaves a strong legacy.

4. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood comes in 68 episodes, starting its journey strong and continuing to improve. This series pays great attention to detail, building its twists from the very beginning. Episodes that may seem "weaker" like Episode 27 or 32 are actually very important for laying the groundwork for what is to come without any glaring issues. The weakest moments of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are still comparable to the strongest moments of other anime, with most of its episodes excelling in political intrigue, deep emotions, and iconic action.

5. Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan has one of the strongest anime openings of all time, and despite running for 89 episodes, the series continues to meet expectations until the end. Its quality keeps improving, and even in quieter moments, Attack on Titan remains exceptional. The intense action and clever twists ensure that there are rarely any boring moments. The ending of the series is also successful, making episodes that initially felt weaker more meaningful upon rewatch, as all the narrative pieces come together perfectly.
