Pokemon is there, it's #82 on the list.
Crap, missed it.
Why is Doraemon so low? Thought that was like a phenomenon too.

Cause it was really popular over there.
Cause it was really popular over there.
Because Pokemon wasn't a phenomenon in American. People didn't go ape **** over it.Naw. The American top 3 would be Cowboy Bebop, Eva, and Gundam Wing.
(Followed by DBZ, Princess Mononoke [for people who want to sound classy], then Pokemon, and... I feel like I'm missing something obvious here...)
I guess Nadesico has some genius qualities I just can't see or something. even #99 seems extremely high IMO for just a mundane basic show but, hell, it must have been put on there for a reason.
(I never saw such an unfunny comedy in my entire life.)

I couldn't get into Nadesico either, but I suspect the satire feels sharper if you've grown up in a culture surrounded by Super Robots.
Was it? I'm old enough to have been in anime fandom during Nadesico's release, and while I recall it seemed like teh hot shitz at the time, it feels like it disappeared from the collective consciousness pretty quickly...
