Otaku's Top Picks

Instead of the usual "what are your top 10" anime thread, let's make this more interesting by listing our Top Anime per Genre. Both movies and tv series are accepted. This way, not only do we avoid the difficulty in ranking which anime goes on top of which, but at the same time we are able to share the genre/s which interests us the most. Moreover, You're at liberty to invent your own genre, as long as it's not too specific and should still pertains to the show as a whole, so others could easily follow-up with their own pick. (ie.: best loli, best cooking show, etc.) 

You could list as many genres as you want, however we should limit ourselves in placing a single title in 2-3 genres (ex. Best Action: One Piece; Best Fantasy: One Piece) to prevent abuse and maintain the purpose of the thread.  

I'll start off with a few:

Best Adventure: One Piece [nuff said xD]
Best Drama: Full Metal Alchemist
Best Comedy: Great Teacher Onizuka
Best Sports: Kuroko no Basuke
Best Animation (TV Series): Shingeki no Kyojin
Best Environment Design: Kotonoha no Niwa
Best Classic: Romeo's Blue Skies
Best Ecchi: Golden Boy [perhaps the only one that makes sense.]

I haven't really watched that many anime so perhaps I'll be updating/adding something new from time to time.

Another disclaimer: I don't know where exactly to put this thread as this can contain both current and old  anime so I just put it here. xD 

How about....
