| K-ON! is the one true classic, all other classics pale in comparison. |

| Jean Chalopin. |
 |
| 1. Ashita no Joe, Astro Boy, Yamato, Mirai Shounen Conan (few examples) 2. Hard to limit this to one genre, so I won't. What made me get into anime are action/adventure/psychological ones and sports anime. But at this point I have a geat variety of favorite genres. 3. Major has the full potential of becoming a classic in the sports genre. One Piece could already be considered a classic of the action/adventure genres. Kimi ni Todoke might become a classic of the romance genre. It's good enough and has the success too. |

Cause i though it might make people really think About the three things listed This assumes people don't "really think" when they're usually listing things. The format of your thread is no different than any other listing thread. miereneronaile said: Because anyone with half a brain can see the difference between shows that could become a classic and their favorites. I purposely didnt post in here, because a lot of my favorites could never be classics. I guess you cant see the distinction, sadly. /Shakes head. Can't tell if serious. Let's cover both. Serious: That still wouldn't make it a "thought experiment". Not serious: /Bows head in shame. |
| "Exprement" Really, guy? |
Otaking87 said: i seen the word Classic used alot in this forum so 3 things 1 What are the true Classics of anime [ Each genre not demographic*] Both Japanese and Western ProSpective 2 what genre not demographic has Shaped you as as a fan 3 what are you Top Ten from that genre not demographic that will be fit in to the Mold of Classics in the Future *so no saying Shounen Shojo Josei or Seinen Why don't you give us your thoughts on these points too? I'd be interested in what modern shows (90's+) you'd consider to have the potential to become classics in their respective genre. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I know you're just using this thread to insult people who didn't like LOGH and Neon Angstiness Evangelion. But I'll bite 1. For a classic I would probably go for Cowboy Bebop if I'm to do it from a western and Japanese perspective. They've been showing it on Adult Swim pretty much every week since the early 2000s. Plus, the Movie even got a cinema release over here. Evangelion aged a lot over time because people took those same ideas and created shows that were much more intelligent and thought provoking. Cowboy Bebop, on the other hand, is a one in a million show that's almost impossible to recreate. On top of that, the unique ideas mean that it still stands up strong today. 2. I'd say that the slice of life genre has shaped me most with shows like K-On, Welcome to the NHK and the Haruhi Suzumiya series. Although my tastes tend to be geared more towards psychological anime like Madoka Magica since It's hard to find a good Slice of Life. 3. I'm gonna skip this one. All I'm going to say is that Madoka and K-On are future classics whether you like them or not. So quit your whining and go fap to Giant naked white Rei destroying the Earth |

| Bad idea, you shouldn't of said it was an experiment now everyone is going to think differently and not be 100% truthful |

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Praise the Oppai ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ  |
| 1. Lupin the 3rd, Cowboy Bebop, Sailor Moon, DBZ, Astro Boy, Captain Harlock, Zeta Gundam, Asita no Joe, and Fist of the north star. 2. Martial Arts/Fantasy definitely 3. Code Geass, Death Note, Gurren Lagann, Baccano, FMA Brotherhood all have the potential to become classics you can disagree if you want, I don't really care. |

Even though I love the genre, I tend to hate a lot of the Slice of Life shows that I watch so I try to be a bit more cautious when approaching a Slice of Life anime. The only ones I've got left that I really want to watch are Usagi Drop and Aria. But I don't want to watch them until I can afford to buy the series. I've just about had it with the moe part of the genre. I really liked K-On and Hidamari Sketch but I hated Yuruyuri, A-Channel and Lucky Star. |

Kimura said: Hey guys, remember when OP got busted for posting someone else's collection and claiming it as his own? Good times. Good times indeed. This incident along with his plebian taste makes me seriously doubt whether he's watched even a 100th of the anime he claims to have seen. I mean, he claims to have completed the original Doraemon. Unless he was alive in the 70s, that's literally impossible. The footage was lost in a fire and it was never released on VHS or DVD. All that's really known about it is that it sucked. |

Anime_Name said: Did the op mean to type 'excrement'? Yes. If he tells you otherwise, it's probably just a lie just like the 9 million US dollars he claims to have spent on anime. |

| Read the title of this thread as A little thought excrement. |
| I think a few stand out just because their fan base is huge, they have been running for years upon years, but it still comes down to the individual preference, but like I said a few stand out. |
