Comment on Top 25 Epoch-Making Anime by Anonymous:

Azumanga Daioh IS epoch making because it ushered in the epoch of The Slice of Life Moeblob Anime.

Is than not an epoch? Was it not created by Azumanga?

Maybe time will reveal that Lucky Star would be more influential (although I’d argue that LS’s “influence” is entirely superficial ie;character art, catchy themesongs & million-dollar merchandising campaign) but it’s clear that Lucky Star & K-on entered an epoch that had already existed for a few years thanks to Azumanga Daioh.

Kyo-Ani’s creations may have tweaked certain aspects of the Slice of Life genre but they did not create it.

    What? No “Yu-Gi-Oh!”? Invalid list is invalid.

    The key word is “influential,” people. It doesn’t matter what subverts what if nobody cares. Friggin’ Dokuro-chan and Dai Mahou Touge subvert magical girls, and that’s not an automatic ticket to anything. And I say that as a Tutu fan, though my penis draws the line at Utena (it can also do sketches). Now, we haven’t seen entire strings of Madoka imitators yet besides Symphogear. But it has become a top seller in Japan, anime or otherwise. That’s why it already counts as a landmark.

    It’s a good top but where are Saint Seiya and Death note?

    Actually, Digimon appeared first than Pokemon. Nintendo copied the concept of the Tamagotchi, which were premordial digimon.

    errr, I didn’t mean Gunbuster. My mistake.
