Top 100 anime of Japan
Sunday 15 October 2006 @ 4:57 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 2,079 Comments
TV Asahi has recently published a list of Japan’s top 100 favorite anime, which was created by an open poll on the station’s website. The list varies quite a bit with last year’s; most notably the exclusion or descend of some cult classics. The top 10 contains more recent series than last year.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is up considerably this year and thats likely because of the rebirth of the series. I cant really say we’ve watched all but 30+ of the listed titles, Velcor has probably watched most of it. This could become a nice Otaku challenge just like watching the top 100 films on IMDB. How many have you watched? Tell us in the comments.

On one hot summer day in 1983, a transfer student named Maebara Keiichi comes to a peaceful rural village in Hinamizawa. There, he befriends his classmates Rena, Mion, Rika, and Satoko. Accepted as a full-fledged member of the “club,” Keiichi and the gang plays all sorts of activities ranging from card and board games to hide-and-seek. But just as Keiichi was beginning to be assimilated in simple rural life, he stumbles upon the dark history of Hinamizawa. As Keiichi dives deeper into the mystery, he finds that his new found friends may not be all what they claim to be.
