That they are dominated by recent titles can either be taken as a sad indictment of anime today, or, as seems rather more likely, another reminder that the memory of the average anime fan extends back only two seasons at most.
…not bad. But a few comments anyway. One Piece, definitely odd but not bad.
I can see how it could be on this list. Dragon Ball, if they mean the original Dragon Ball, I could understand but if they mean DBZ then I don’t get why. Lucky Star, personally a fan( of the manga ) but nobody understands it. Strike Witches, again personally a fan, but my real surprise is that it was considered to be popular enough to be on a “don’t understand the popularity of” list. I always thought of it as a niche show. To anybody who cares about this, thanks for reading.
For some reason there are comments that have divided anime into two categories. Those that are like K-on, and the ones like GITS/Cowboy Bebop. So what about if your like me, and you hate both K-on and Cowboy Bebop.
hayate is awesome people just hate the style?
wtf why the f♥♥k is steins;gate and lucky star up there they are awesome animes
This is clearly bs, as Bleach is not on the list, nor is fairy tail. 5 Centimeters Per Second is a movie, so double fail.
