animage top 100 anime

True Story.



I, cannot. I don't even LIKE One Piece, but I realize it's immensely more popular in Japan than...nearly anything else animated on television right now.

It's popular for little boys. Japanese "men" do not like it. Just be lucky it's even ON the list. Bleach is much better AND drawn better, but it's not on there.

Okay, first of all, this is an anime and both One Piece and Bleach have just about the same level of QUALITY (as in, both tend to have shitty animation from time to time). Second, One Piece is not in the top ten every week and have unbelievable movie sales just from little boys watching it. It's the same as Conan as it's just as much of a family entity as much as it is a shounen anime. Bleach wishes it could have that kind of TV success. It doesn't even get in the top 20 anymore. Even Yu-Gi-Oh beats it some weeks.

Third, Bleach is really the better of the two in story quality? Cause I was pretty bored with these last few episodes.

Well, that's the thing. One Piece is popular right now but this list seems to take in the most popular and influential ever. It'd be like being confused as to why if this was an American list, Avatar would be lower than, say, The Simpsons Sakura was a unbelievable phenomeon with girls when it was airing (though, probably not as much as Sailor Moon was).

I'm honestly surprised to see One Piece even on the list, but I can see why it's there. I can't believe Pokemon isn't there though and Digimon is (cause it's more awesom)
 
Nadesico and Yu Yu Hakusho deserve to be much higher. D:

I seriously love me some YYH, but given what's higher on that list, I think 55 is about right. (Also, what's with the numbers missing?)

They're all drinking together after work and bitching about the "new kid" that got let into the club they had to put their dues into to be accepted by and who does he think he is with his silly hat and that big muppet mouth?! >:(

Naw, c'mon dude. Can you really see Seiya, Goku, and Yuusuke throwing down that way? They might look at him a little funny, and Yuusuke might break out laughing at least once, but it'll all be boozin' an' punchin' an' swappin' stories by the end of the night.

Not Dragonball. He got plastic surgery, changed his name to Kai and got back in the business.

I think you can only really understand this list if you lived in Japan. An American list would probably have Pokemon in the top 3.

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...)

Pokemon is there, it's #82 on the list.
