Problem is for people living outside Japan, they have no choice but to watch whatever that's being aired on TV at that time. Unfortunately, that leads to fans growing up with the false pretense that the anime that gains the most airtime being the most "influential" of them all when there're greater anime out there. [i]"No license to air '[/i]Fist of the North Star[i]'? Lets air '[/i]Dragonball[i]' instead. "No license for '[/i]Evangelion[i]'? Lets give them '[/i]Sailormoon[i]' instead. "No license for '[/i]Hajime no Ippo[i]'? Nevermind. Give them '[/i]Naruto[i]' then."[/i] OK. Maybe some that were aired were great, but you get my point. Other reasons could be due to questionable content such as political/religious ideology, sexuality, violence, etc. It's only when we grow older into the age of the Internet that we realize how much we'd missed. Sure, there're reruns, DVDs, etc., but I doubt they can still influence our fully-matured minds now than when we were "innocent" back then. Don't even get me started on manga. Translations and subbers were virtually non-existent back then. The greatest anime/manga influence happens during our tweenage years for most of us.

Still following it. Though I grew up with stuff like Lensman, Vampire Hunter D, Guyver, etc. I remember borrowing VHS tapes from friends from Jr. High and High School and the occasional rare rental that popped up at the video store from time to time. Makes me really appreciate having high speed internet these days. :P Detective Conan is great! Still following it.

Macross and the Original BubbleGum Crisis, but looking back upon things now, I think that the most influential anime for me was...the original "GunBuster". Laugh and mock if you will, of which I have no doubt SanCom will, but that is my choice. I think that I had several early milestones.
