For me personally it's TTGL.


For the community.. I agree with most of the posts here. Anime like Death Note, and bleach will be there.


Also to the people mentioning anime like NGE. NGE finished airing in 1996, I.E. almost 16 years ago today. The question the OP stated addressed which anime will not be forgotten (10 years time).

Well, NGE, Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop are already at that point of legend, and naturally they will continue to be remembered along with MSG and the other classics.

But for the more recent shows, I'll put a bet on Death Note and maybe Full Metal Alchemist.
Sure, Bleach and Naruto will be remembered to some extent, but the top spot in their genres is already occupied by Dragonball, and I really can't see these two ever usurping that throne. Their overall quality level would have to be seriously boosted for that, which seems rather hopeless at this point. Though I guess One Piece could be a contender.

Others such as Clannad, Code Geass and Haruhi, I doubt will be remembered long, their overall impact is after all considerably less, so they will likely be forgotten as temporary fads. But I dunno, Haruhi might still have a chance if they make some more of it, otherwise the franchise seems to have run out of steam for the moment.

anything Macross, anything Gundam, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, Ano Hana, Sister Princess (Many VN adaptations have references to the series but only the Japanese and others who have watched the series and at least 1. read the PS1 VNs or 2. Read the LN will get them).

not only two. and there are ova's and everything. movie and two ova's coming soon, too. but code geass is still not as big as gundam series.
there's live action announcement recently
and code geass posters keep popping up every two months or so in japan anime magazines (forgot the names)

Still, I don't see any real impact with that. All the manga seem to be pretty obscure, third rate titles churned out to cash in on the success, and I can only really see one OVA in the DB here that seems to be anything other than cheap specials, summaries and similar bloatware.
At least compared to the more clear contenders like Haruhi, there's very little to go on in terms of pop culture relevancy *rant by 24601 goes here*.

It's WAY too early to say something like this.

In fact, it's been only a year and if it wasn't for the newly announced movies god knows how much attention the show would still get...

The hype was HUGE when the show was airing, but I think it won't last that long. Of course I could be wrong. But I really don't see why Madoka would still be talked about in ten (or maybe even three) years. It really didn't do that much new stuff.

Mahou shoujo Madoka magica (I know it's soon but this show really holds potential)

And well, I would like to say Azumanga, but nobody mentioned it so far in the thread, that's a bad sign :(.

Pokemon will definitely survive with its popularity in video games part.
Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach because of the amount of chapters.
Dragon Ball because it is legend, it's just won't die.
I doubt Gundam will be forgotten 10 years from now. Pretty sure they will continue with more series.

Finally someone said Sailor Moon. It's 20 years old now and the manga's currently re-releasing in the US.

CardCaptor Sakura is another classic that's stayed strong with age.

Aside from what's already been said, I think Shinyraku! Ika Musume will be remembered ten years from now.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni recently celebrated it's 10th anniversary, and THAT will be remembered as the worst side of the franchise... Kira. Ugh.

totally seconding this
plus from same reason
Gundam
One Piece - well I don't know if creator will have new ideas for this
Precure - at least in Japan AFAIK, it gives enough money to be hold alive
well all those big series I think, either by becoming some kind of legend or still be running

and from other series
Sailor Moon - thanks to spawn of it's offsprings
Azumanga Daioh - again it started some idea of series, so luckilly when all other will be seen someone will come back to classic (and that why series like Lucky Star may not be here as it's refferences may be less recognizable)
Ah! My Goddess (?) - for another 10 years of romance that leads nowhere :D
Aria (?) - it's example of specyfic genre so maybe this, well this I hope so

I would probably say Aria if it wasn't for the fact that outside of the anime fan circles it is totally or almost totally unknown. And considering how much do the tastes and mainstream shows vary in these circles I doubt many people care for it in ten years. This is not a criticism of its quality, but it's just that, even if it is regarded as a classic, I don't see this franchise doing that well in the memories of the fans. Even now it has more of cult classic than of mass phenomenon.

And yes, I forgot Sailor moon and Cardcaptor Sakura.

I partially agree about taste shifting but Aria is not so typical slice of life, I think. For me it's already has specyfic type of people watching it and there is some chance that people searching for slow paced scenery porn filled show may go for it. Like there are not so many of those even now.
But that is what I hope for :)

Also I would go for CLAMP shows as whole - they are visually distinctive, give birth to flame wars plus they are still making new ones. And it works in a way - you watched one, there is quite a chance to go see others.

Remember that sales doesn't correspond to how likely it will be remembered.

If you asked people to name a song from the late 1990s then probably the most commonly named song would be Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On, despite the fact that Candle in the Wind (1997) sold more than twice as much. Being the single biggest selling single since charts began, Candle in the Wind is hardly forgotten, but it's not anywhere near as well known or remembered as other songs which, by comparison, had vastly lower sales.

Popularity at the time doesn't necessarily lead to its notoriety lasting a long time. This is true in any form of entertainment - music, art, literature, and probably anime too.
--Great analogy.

You may not know King Lear from Henry V they considered classics none the less. Not all of the following anime have mass appeal but have already stood the test of time and likely will likely continue to do so.

Yeah that's what I was referring to basically. Hardcore Anime fans would generally know what Animes like Clannad etc. are but overall, in my opinion, I wouldn't consider it "mainstream" compared to Animes like Pokemon, Dragonball Z, Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece etc.

Still, pumping out lots of spinoffs for cashing in on a success doesn't necessarily equate to lasting impact. Just take those manga for example, I'll bet my kidney very few people have heard about them outside some of the more fervent fans, and from what I'm seeing they don't exactly leave much impact in their own right either.
Just take Votoms, there's loads of spinoffs of it, but it's still not a very well known series. Now Geass has an edge there by being pretty mainstream, but so long as it's spinoffs don't reach a similar renown, they won't amount to much.

Believe me, most people solely class the big three as mainstream, grouping the rest of the mainstream series in a different category simply to justify their 'mainstream sucks' opinion.
I'm not talking about the whole etymology of the concept, but how narrowly people tend to look at it..
And by pointlessly, I mean by posting a completely irrelevant off-topic post to correct a single guy's shallow logic. That single post then leading towards a massive debate on a thread that it has nothing to do with it.. Your average MAL argument.
Lastly, define 'classic'. Series don't have to be 'classic' to be considered mainstream..

I never said it would. Things I also never said Code Geass would be are LoGH, Ashito no Joe, Lupin, My Little Pony, Arthur, Doug, or Burt Lancaster.

Too many to list in mainstream, cult, and moe, and of course it will differ between Eastern and Western sensibilities.

I'm just gonna laugh at the people saying things like Eva or Bebop. Those have been around for 15-20 years already. They've already stood the test of time on one hemisphere or the other.

I'm certain that most if not everyone, even non anime watchers, in the US of A knows what Dragon Ball is or at the very least heard of it.

I was exaggerating for emphasis. So far I am aware of 4 spinoff manga, 2 OVAs, a movie, a play, and a musical all planned because of Code Geass. If Sunrise keeps putting out CG products then CG won't be easily forgotten.
Still, pumping out lots of spinoffs for cashing in on a success doesn't necessarily equate to lasting impact.

Stop changing the subject. The question is, Will CG be remembered in 10 years time? The spinoffs and crap keeps it from being forgotten and it already is closing in on the 10 year mark while current productions are still ongoing.

Just take those manga for example, I'll bet my kidney very few people have heard about them outside some of the more fervent fans, and from what I'm seeing they don't exactly leave much impact in their own right either.

If we are not talking about fans then who the hell are we talking about? It's the fervent fans that kept NGE's hype high all these years prior to the reboot movies sparking a new interest in the series from anime fans that don't like old graphics. It's funny that you weren't even aware of them before my post but now are so well informed that you know how much impact these series have or will have in the future. I bet you make a killing at the horse races.

Just take Votoms, there's loads of spinoffs of it, but it's still not a very well known series. Now Geass has an edge there by being pretty mainstream, but so long as it's spinoffs don't reach a similar renown, they won't amount to much.

The topic is talking about being remembed for 10 years, not 30.

It's called milking a franchise. Gundam isn't the only series that does it.

Even though It's only been a year since it was released, I say Madoka is one of those anime that has a chance that it will be remembered in 10 years time.

It's One Piece, Naruto or Bleach for sure.
