I stumbled across this list of the top 100 anime and I gotta says I feel like a lot of stuff is WAY outa place!
http://darkdiamond.net/web-notes/top-100-anime-of-japan/
Wheres Trigun?
Wheres Ronin Warriors?
Wheres Tenchi?
Wheres Escaflowne?
Where Hjime No Ippo?
Why is Inuyasha above Ranma 1/2?
Why is Bleach above Nauro and one Piece (or for that matter, even on the list)
Why Isn't Mai-HiME at least in the top 20?
1. Because the Trigun manga is so much more awesome than the anime. You know it too.
2. Probably because it's old and no one's heard about it. These darn kids today with them fancy animes...
3. It's good, but way too much overblown romantic comedy stuff. At least to me.
4. I second this. WHERE IS TEH ESCLAFLOWNE?
5. Cuz it's boxing.
6. Again, I second this. To all Inuyasha fans, I'm sorry, but it's long, terrible, and way too predictable.
7. I agree. Bleach, Naruto, heck even One Piece should NOT be remotely counted as some of the best animes out there. (Boatloads of fillers and repetitive scenes, anyone?) If you are one of the people who do think they are AMAZING, then news flash: you aren't looking hard enough. It's the same as the MASSES of people who continue to believe that Twilight is the most epic story ever. I have to say it has a decent story, but come on, the writing style looks like an elementary school kid wrote it.
8. Mai- Hime was good, but not that great. I personally loved the manga, but even I know that it's not the most compelling or the deepest story. In fact, many of the most popular animes/ books today have lots of flash and fighting, but are as shallow as a puddle. Grr.
These are my opinions, feel free to take them with many grains of salt. But I stand by them. Ranting is fun kids, you should try it sometime.
