Only one title I have heard of sorry two I forgot Digimon the rest went over my head the first one was One Piece watched on Netflix but it was live action not a anime ,A question would be is Family Guy / Cleveland Show /American Dad ,be considered a anime.

[@markmccormack635]

Sailor Moon another one I heard of.

In France the behavior is similar, sometimes people from my country annoy me a lot because of their lack of respect

Natsume Yujincho will always and forever be my favorite anime. Cannot wait for a new season! This just made me realize that Sailor Moon started over 30 yrs ago. My sister and I watched it when we would get home from school every day. It was the first anime I ever watched. I guess we don't count Thudercats as anime technically.
