This list is shit – no Cory in the house, Putin, Hitler or Trump.
Man, I love Dragon Ball. It was much better than Z, GT, and Super!
Umm. Idk Gunbusters, Star Blazers and the #1 pick. 🙁
Im looking for an anime that is similar to 10 and 6 and Gundam. It has huge robots fighting (a white one is the hero) in space and something like a space train innit. I was too young to remember. Help?
FUCK YEAH LOTGH AND HNK AND SAINT SEIYA AND ROSE OF VERSAILLES FIRST WATCHMOJO LIST IN AGES THAT’S ACTUALLY GOOD FUCK YEAH KEEP UP PROUD OF YOU
Legend of the galactic heroes is a great anime. Though star blazers needs to be on the main list as well as captain harlock.
I think there needs to be a top ten most influential (maybe I’m using the wrong word. Maybe most recognizable? intro? idk) anime. Then you’d see your speed racer, voltron, gatchaman (a personal favorite of mine) a lot more.
Addendum: you’d have to put the pre 90s stipulation on there.
dragon ball should be no. 1
Not surprised that Grendizer, Captain Harlock, Battle of the Planets and Captain Futuro isn’t in the list. They seems to have been unknown in the Anglo-Saxon world, even if they are anime
Yu Yu Hakusho!
