Comment on Top 10 Anime Which Revolutionised The Anime World by Wallace Hunter:

Nausicaa had some lasting visual impact, and the legacy of the creation of Studio Ghibli, but other than that didn’t have a lot of direct impact.

Macross is part of the revolution started by Gundam. Ideon is descended from both Gundam and Yamato, and was part of a wave of similar shows as pervasive as moe is now.

Sailor Moon is spot on, though. Not sure about Doraemon.

Dragon Ball, probably. Was there anything with the DRAG-ON BALL Z interminable setup fight anime format before that?

  Galaxy Express had no successors. Great anime aren’t necessarily revolutionary.

  Name 5 anime obviously inspired or influenced by Hokuto no Ken, with NO debt to its predecessors. I can think of two, and a few debatable ones.

  Had a couple of imitators, but nothing popular, or even really good. Just too hard to do well, I guess.

  Didn’t revolutionize shit. While Gainax has done quite a bit of ORIGINAL anime, they have not had many that were imitated.

  Pokemon DID inspire hordes of imitators. It more or less created the anime genre of shows with kids battling it out via proxies (even if the games ripped off Shin Megami Tensei). It doesn’t matter how GOOD the show was. It matters whether the mix of anime after it was different than before it. By that token, it’s a pity the influences of some of those shows (Yamato, Gundam) weren’t longer and stronger.

  L’s death ruined L. He was cool when he was a uniquely enigmatic figure. When he became one of a series, it was a little WTF and a lot FUCK THIS. His replacements weren’t half the character L was.
