Fair point. I was a jackass and could have made my point more rationally. My offense was with the implied suggestion in the original comment that AoT and/or FMA are only highly rated like that because they're favored and terfed by "weebs." It ignores the fact that they are also objectively incredible shows on par with Breaking Bad and many other shows on the list you linked and have just as much of a dedicated following as your favored shows.

Re: the opinion point: linking an article that shows other people sharing your opinion does not in fact make it any less of an opinion. Yes there are technical aspects that can be objectively compared or analyze, but generally speaking, these things are matters of taste an opinion. There is no "objective" best and as such cultural lists and rankings will change.

My original point in my original comment that there was brigading by weirdos as seen here which make the fandom look ass.

I didn't put the shows down, but adding to the fact that IMDB ratings can't be trusted because of brigading and paid reviews as indicated in the OP.

And to your second point it is an opinion, I never said it wasn't, just adding a few links to show it isn't an opinion that only I hold.
