I don't like the low placement of TWWTG and SMR,C, but I'll give you a thumbs up for including them and Ordo Ad Chao.

The way I see it, a low placement on a top 20 list is still a high placement in the grand scheme of things.

But thanks for the thumbs up, the Lain avatar assures me you have good taste.

Yeah, that makes sense actually. I still would put those albums in the top 10.

Lain is my favorite anime, and there is only around 5 animes I enjoy.

Well I won't lie I discovered those two more recently than most others on the list and nostalgia played a bigger part in my ordering than I'd like to admit.

Sounds similar to me: Lain, Elfen Lied, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll, Perfect Blue and maybe a couple others are about the extent of my anime fandom.

Here is my list (including both films and TV series, and in no order):
Lain, Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy, Akira, Ghost In The Shell, Berserk, and I have recently been looking forward to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure which looks really good.

I have seen others but they aren't that good.

Now, back on topic: Nostalgia should always be a big part in deciding which bands/albums you like better than others. For me it's important. For example, I get quite nostalgic listening to Type O Negatives' October Rust, but after the years went by, I came to prefer Slow, Deep And Hard, so musically I prefer the latter, but October Rust is my favorite.

Ah, I have not seen those lol.

Hey that's why Gorgoroth - Antichrist made the list. Maybe their other albums are technically more accomplished than an under-30 minute more-EP-than-album with one track that's just the wind blowing but Antichrist was one of the very first BM albums I ever owned and not many others give such (ironically considering the music) warm and fuzzy feelings as Antichrist. I actually feel like I owe it a lot.

Thank you, much appreciated. I would like to hope there's some surprises - if our lists all looked the similar that would really suck.
With Filosofem, I totally get that it's not for everyone and I'll be the first to admit that sometimes it feels like Count What's-His-Name is just trolling us especially during a certain 25 minute long track but I primarily love this genre most for the atmosphere it's able to create and I haven't heard another Black Metal album yet that I felt captured that aspect quite as well as Filosofem so it got the top spot. (Unless of course I change my mind)
