Hell, this series even got Happy Meal toys, can’t say that about most of these. No Inuyasha or Rurouni Kenshin either?

@@amityadav2457Right, a middle school badass who meets a chick “grim reaper” who isn’t his girlfriend character recruits him to work for Spirit World as either a “Spirit Detective” or a “Soul Reaper” he is joined by a tall friend that’s drawn most differently from the rest whom was naturally spiritually aware that started off as punks that got into street fights together, one to save his cat the other to save his medallion. Both main characters team up with friends and an anti hero that reluctantly helps them and sometimes can be almost a foe but honestly looks out for the main character in the end. Both teams they fight evil spirits (demons or hollows) both main characters have a single parent, and you find out both had family involved in the same thing they were doing be it a dad who was a demon king or a dad who was a soul reaper. They both befriend a girl who is avoiding the place they have to go because they want to live a quiet and peaceful life and we’re both high ranked at that place be it one who is hiding as a cat or the other whose an old lady, both of which can use their spirit energy to turn into badass beautiful young girls and mentors to the main character both of which make sexual jokes about the situation. Both save the day but only after they stop holding back be it Spirit Cuffs or Bankai and you see the hidden trace of them both being part demon be it the Hollow Mask first appearing briefly or the Spirit energy Phoenix appearing briefly which is related to their demon forms later. Both beat up dudes who stand in their way that become sideline friends, both end up with their girlfriend character not their chick grim reaper, both fight their predecessors the substitute soul reaper or former spirit detective before them. Both could turn energy into objects like weapons and armor. Both had multiple personalities, both had 7 human psychics working under them, both of which having one that was a kid that could trap people into a video game system be it a SNES in YYH or PSP in Bleach, both exposed the truth to the corruption of spirit world and how they got used and snapped. Both died to the main character and when spirit world came knocking to take away their bodies both were told to kick rocks. Both main characters later become part demon even though demons are what they’ve been hunting. Both end up with Spirit Energy, Demon Energy, and the energy their former spirit detective or soul reaper used briefly be it Fullbring or Yusuke’s sort of Sacred Energy at the end and are unique in their bloodline that they can mix their unique combination of energies. Both one time only get a long black haired form with tattoos one time each for both even the orange haired main character and their forms look similar. They both restore peace sort of through luck and determination between spirits, demons, and humans. Both also have to solve unrest and turmoil in spirit world. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen Saint Seiya and it’s nowhere near the level of copy/paste bleach is to Yu Yu Hakusho. This is just a small sample of the similarities as Bleach could damn near be a longer spiritual successor to Yu Yu Hakusho as it’s pretty much the same show. I’d even met the voice actors to both shows and Justin Cook and Johnny Yong Bosch even admitted it’s kinda the same show and pretty much the same character. Other shows of the same genre will have similarities like people claiming any anime with a tournament arc wants to be Dragon Ball, but in this case you could pretty much not say the characters names but summarize both shows and both are strikingly similar. Bleach was even originally rejected from Shonen Jump because Kubo was ripping off Yu Yu Hakusho. Love both shows dearly, but one is clearly a knockoff of the other.

Im actually disappointed YuYu hakusho isnt on this list or inuyasha for that matter those combined with Dbz, cowboy bebop and gundam helped shape my love for anime

[@wdcain1]

I'm happy seeing Code Geass made the list. I absolutely loved the show. If Sunrise hadn't botch the second season then it would have launched a franchise on par with Macross and Gundam.

[@darkdremora4436]

I have to agree with you. Both about seeing _Code Geass_ (deservedly) make this list, as well as your opinion on R2. As much as I still love R2 of _Code Geass,_ it kinda has a different "feel" compared to R1. Apparently, due to how incredibly well-received R1 of _Code Geass_ was, Sunrise Studios decided to become more involved with R2, and the actual series Creators didn't have (nearly) as much control/say when it came to R2's Story; particularly the latter half... The Creators also apparently had always planned for an R3 as the *true* Final Season, but Sunrise execs said no, so _Code Geass'_ Creators had to wrap things up with R2; hence why R2 - particularly the latter half - feels "off" and/or "rushed" in Story quality compared to R1 and even the first half of R2. Note: This is all just hearsay I found online (though from multiple "sources"), so take this info with a grain of salt! 😆

[@killua6226]

​@@darkdremora4436Sunrise screwed both seasons the creators originally wanted R1 to be 50 eps but the studio forced them to cut it in half.

[@thebestfrom361]

I’m sorry but if that’s a screw up then that’s the best screw up ever. Code Geass is easily top 3 all time for me and has the best ending I’ve ever seen.

[@wdcain1]

@@darkdremora4436 It's official. Gorō Taniguchi, one of the main writers, admitted all this on Twitter last year in a thread called Geass Memories. He said hardly any of their plans for Made it into R2 except for Lelouch's death. That was planned from the beginning.

[@darkdremora4436]

@@wdcain1 I see. Did he state what some of those unused ideas were? Also, I wonder if that was the case regarding the Recap Movie Trilogy... Feels like a *lot* was unnecessaryly cut out from the Anime; and wasn't it supposed to be an actual R3/Continuation instead of Recap Movies? From what I heard, there was never supposed to be any Movies (including Resurrection), but a true R3/Anime Season continuing right where R2's Epilogue left off.

[@blaquerose08]

I'd argue that Rurouni Kenshin should be on the list. They are remaking it currently, but the original was some of the best historical anime work ever made. It's referenced in other works and it's the titular samurai anime.

[@BrandonKohout]

To be completely honest, the High School DxD series is one of the most popular anime series in my estimation.

[@a.jthomas6132]

[@jungkookstattoos5119]

the thing that upsets me is how people don’t want to get into anime just because “it’s not real”, “it’s drawn and animated”, “it’s in another language”.. all these shows on here are unique, amazing, and entertaining and there’s much more out there, these people are missing out and they don’t even know it 😂

[@ajoliva95_vigilante_anime_86]

And they still shilling hollywood when they got paid for their positive reviews

[@coconyt3623]

Even though Neon Genesis Evangelion is a 'mecha anime', it's so much more than that. It's quite possibly the most important anime ever made. Everyone who dabbles with the medium should definitely watch it. One of the GoATs.

[@mojo3318]

I've seen the "Yu-gi-oh" franchise, "Spirited Away", some of the "Pokémon", "Full Metal Alchemist", "Naruto", and the "Dragon Ball Z" franchise! I have seen a DVD of Sailor Moon at Best Buy. During a stream, someone in the chat said I should see "Spy X Family". It looks like a great show. I have also heard of "Beyblade" . This is like "Star Wars". 2:05 And that guy kind of looks like a teenage mutant ninja turtle. 19:45 I can't believe some guys would hurt or threaten ladies in some of the anime on this list. All the ladies look so nice!😍I'd like to check out the other anime on this list. I knew "Dragon Ball Z" would be number one!

Here’s my favorite anime shows ever the original Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon Crystal, Inuyasha, Yashamie half demon Princesses, Sword art online, Pokémon, Blood C, the original Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh Gx, Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds, I recently started watching Death note & honestly it’s very creepy but in a good way. As for studio ghibli movies Kiki’s delivery service, Castle in the sky, Spirited Away, and Ponyo they are my favorite movies.

[@Pouria_odinson]

I've been looking for a grown up anime but after this list still couldn't find one! I've watched attack on titan 🖤 castlevania,demon slayer,deathnote, jujutsu kaisen. I think there is nothing good left to watch,plz if you have recommendations,reply me

[@Pouria_odinson]

I watched mushoku tensei,it was crazy I couldn't stop watching 😍😅 but I see a lot of Naruto post and things, it seems it's a popular one,but if you say one piece I'll take your word for it and dl first 5episodes today,tnx🌹

[@RisingRaiden]

Agree with everything on this list except demon slayer

[@fardinkhandaker3436]

Dragon ball, One Piece, and Demon Slayer are probably my top three

[@helixiod]

How can you like the below mid story of Demon Slayer if you claim yourself as an One Piece fan ? DS is backed up only by it's animation. It's most generic anime I have ever seen and dropped mid way. I simply can't understand the hype.

[@ViewerOnline101]

How is Highschool Of The Dead not on here? There was a point in time where it literally became the most popular anime in the world back in 2010.

[@Jiishaan]

Never heard of it until now.

[@ViewerOnline101]

@@Jiishaan Seriously? You're missing out. It's only 12 episodes and an OVA, but back in 2010, it was EVERYWHERE. The manga was so popular it even got a colored version. It was sadly canceled due to the death of the author though. Because it was about a zombie apocalypse and there was a lot of death in it, its popularity massively dropped in Japan due to the tsunami that hit, so a manga with some much death in it became very touchy.

[@Jiishaan]

@@ViewerOnline101 if it was everywhere then I would have seen it tbh. Honestly never heard of it and I looked it up and it looks good but will watch once I finish the current ones that I am watching 😅

Not having digimon is super weird. I feel like even though pokemon is 5 it should be way higher. I think dbz and pokemon always had the biggest impact on all media.

There were so many that I had never heard of that it makes me question how this list was made. But IMO to be added: Knights of the Zodiac (Or as I knew them Caballeros del Zodiaco), Initial D, Rurouni Kenshin, and Digimon
