Top 100 anime of Japan
Sunday 15 October 2006 @ 4:57 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 2,168 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.

Where’s Hetalia?
D:<

I really love bleach.
the anime and manga is perfect.
ROSARIO VAMPIRE and VAMPIRE KNIGHT and ELFEN LIED and CHOBITS are really
good animes as well.
CASE CLOSED used to be my favorite.
at first i was like to the boys….
WHAT IN THE HECK IS BLEACH?
Where the heck is Dragon Ball Z? Get Naruto the hell off this list and while your at it take Yu Gi Oh out too. You’ve added animes that nobody has ever heard of their whole damn life and you havn’t got any Trigun or Deathnote? Stupid dumbasses. Code Geass maybe? Samurai Champloo? Oh wait you don’t put good animes on this list. Sorry i forgot. Dumb shits. Pokemon is on the list and not Trigun? Damn this list is a failure.
there can be a top 100 list that does not include death note and naruto shippuuden
do you guys have any other better anime that you know???
well, DEATH NOTE is pretty awesome and after the firsts episodes u will definitely want to watch it , because it will make u feel like u are smart if u understand it. if u haven’t watched it yet, give it a try ’cause if u are a bit (just a bit) smart u will LOVE it

Thank you for every other excellent post. Where else could anyone get that type of
information in such an ideal approach of writing? I have a presentation next week,
and I’m at the search for such information.
Here is my web-site: Baby girl nursery Bedding
Spot on with this write-up, I truly believe that this
website needs a great deal more attention. I’ll probably be returning to see more, thanks for the info!
