Ghibli is alright. Fantastic studio. I didn't include Ponyo because it seemed like a little mermaid ripoff to me. It didn't raise the bar or break molds, which is 'kind of' what my list was shooting for. It was a good movie, but I think the ones I listed were better. (In my opinion)

Right, because Ponyo is the only Ghibli movie from last decade ::)
Also, pointless list is pointless. So are those top anime? Best? Most popular? Game changers? Or just the ones you liked the most?

I do have a Ghibli flick listed in my list. "Spirited Away". (scudworth asked about ponyo earlier, so I was addressing it)
I listed my opinion of the top ten movies and shows of this decade. The ones I thought set the bar higher in their respective genres. Of course they're ones I've liked. How about instead of harshly critiquing my list, you offer up one of your own? I asked for others opinions in my first paragraph. Not sure why you are getting all hot an bothered. I just wanted to start a discussion.

There's a difference between the shows that were game changers, and shows that just set the bar higher for their respective genres for one; a show that I consider the best anime I've ever seen(and coincidently the best anime of the decade) isn't particularly innovative - it's just flawlessly executed.
I want to know what are the criteria you wish to use for choosing the best? The story? There's also direction, art, animation, music, many many different things that form the whole experience of anime. We can try to find anime that perfectly balances all that, or we can also simply choose what creates most enjoyable result, even if some of the elements are glaringly inferior to the whole.
Or we can just abandon trying to judge the objective quality of the piece, and try to find those series that were a subject to subsequent imitation - those that even if they weren't all that good, still introduced interesting and important things, or just proven to be succesful enough to copy.
I do agree with big parts of your list, in some cases the shows you posted would fit on the list no matter what criteria we would chose - but what I really don't agree with are your descriptions. It's not enough to say "it's the best of its genre" - you need to say what are the reasons you consider it the best, for your list to have any merit. Not to mention leaving out the reasons for the movies is just lazy.
but really I'm just babbling incoherently since it's 5:40 in the morning and I can't sleep

I feel that Chobits set the bar for robotic cutie anime.
but I'm far too lazy to say why ;)
