| Evangelion is obviously the big one, regardless of ones view on it they would have to be lying to say it didnt have a gigantic effect among the industry Cowboy bebop to a certian extent, mainly how it really brought anime to a mainstream level in the west, I dont know how it effected japan and i dont think it even did all that well in japan but CB is largely responsible for a large increase in popularity for the western audiences Rurouni Kenshin also is a influental anime. And as meh as the series is DB did end up inspiring many shounens to come such as one piece |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| -Cowboy Bebop (obligatory) -Tenchi Muyo (basically invented the harem genre) -Ghost in the Shell -Evangelion (again, obligatory) That's all I really have. |

| Perhaps a good place to start would be here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EssentialAnime It's most certainly not comprehensive and the people who compiled it are likely biased, but it does name quite a few of the heavy hitters. You may notice that the list does include the years in which they were made which will help you. Be sure to research these shows and watch a little bit so that you know what you're talking about in the report. |

Well, how about this. My "luck" versus this thing's "curse". Wanna see what's stronger..? If I lose, then I'm just that much of a man anyways.  |
| -Mononoke Hime -Sailor Moon -Gundam Those I'd imagine would of been popular titles in the 90's. You can view a whole list of 90's anime here as well, and sort by score. Perhaps you'll be able to pick out anime that would appear to be the kind of being popular/'influential': http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?q=&type=0&score=0&status=0&tag=&p=0&r=0&sm=0&sd=0&sy=1990&em=0&ed=0&ey=1999&c[0]=c&gx=0&o=3&w=2&o=3&w=1 |

| Gundam is a pretty old series, so prolly not. I'd add: Detective Conan Trigun |
 |
| Evangelion, i guess |
 |

| Wait, no one mention Slayers yet? Blasphemy! Also, Card Captor Sakura, for setting mahou shoujo genre with more complex story. After checking the airing dates, Di Gi Charat barely made it. It might be not that big impact in the west, but in it's time as Akibahara mascot, this series promotes the Moe subcultures into the otaku world. If anything to be blamed for Moe cliche, this is the show that started it all. Ref: http://tokyoscum.blogspot.com/2012/01/history-of-akihabara-part-3.html |

| Gundam Wing? Toonami? Big influence on Cartoon Network, albeit not as much as DBZ. It did introduce many younger viewers to Gundam for the first time. And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Wing the first Gundam SERIES to be English dubbed? |

Slayers was made as a spoof of Lodoss. And WHY has only ONE PERSON said Sailor Moon? Really?? Anyway, for sure you need: Neon Genesis Evangelion Sailor Moon Dragon Ball Z Pokemon Record of Lodoss War Gundam (any of them) Ghost in the Shell movie (The creator of the Matrix has openly admitted this was his influence) Cowboy Bebop Revolutionary Girl Utena Great Teacher Onizuka Ranma 1/2 (At least one Rumiko Takahashi work should be on there) Fushigi Yuugi (At least one Yuu Watase work should be on there- She popularized darker, more thematic fantasy shoujo. She did not create the first ones- We can thank CLAMP for that- But she popularized them) I think SOMETHING by CLAMP should be on there, but I'm not sure which- Perhaps Magic Knight Rayearth? Di Gi Charat isn't influential as an anime, persay- She's influential as a mascot. The anime was nothing. It's the character itself that made a difference. |

| Here is a link to some stuff that may or may not be of help. http://www.animeclassicreviews.com/ |

| Chibi Maruko-chan http://myanimelist.net/anime/951/Chibi_Maruko-chan and Doraemon http://myanimelist.net/anime/501/Doraemon EDIT: Oh wait, actually just realized Doraemon's from the 70's hahaa.. |
| Dragonball Z. Although it first aired on 1989, it really peaked at the early 90's. Probably EVERY anime fan knows about DBZ. Yuyu Hakusho - AKA "Ghostfighter" here in the Philippines, was the most known anime to every kid in the 90's here in our country. Rurouni Kenshin - great character development, great art style, great plot. bottom line is, everything about this anime is awesome. Was made back in the 90's but is still unmatched up to present when it comes to Samurai Animes. The Best Samurai anime ever made. Sailormoon - probably the most famous anime that girls loved back in the 90's. Pokemon - a worldwide hit. although a lot of people shrug it off today (including me. since i feel like the creators dragged it way too much, already has multiple seasons and movies). back in the 90's this was a worldwide hit. every kid-by-heart loves this anime :D |

| Pokemon Dragon Ball Z Sailor Moon Akira Voltron Neon Genesis Evangelion Serial Experiments Lain Ghost in the Shell Saint Seiya I wish OP would be more specific. Are you looking for impact of Western industry or the industry as a whole? The two are very different things, especially in the 90s. What was a 90s anime in Japan is not a 90s anime in the West. Difference in release between Japan and the rest of the world: Cowboy Bebop: 3 years Dragon Ball Z: 7 years Shin Chan: 14 years Mobile Suit Gundam: 22 years |

However, It wasn't until Toonami picked it up in the early 00s that it picked up steam in the West. Which brings me back to the question for OP, anime Western industry or the industry as a whole? |

| Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon, for sure. |

Di Gi Charat isn't influential as an anime, persay- She's influential as a mascot. The anime was nothing. It's the character itself that made a difference. only half isted here came out in the 90's DBZ began in the 80's gundam in the 70's[ and most if not all the best Gundam's came out in thje 80's there has not been a good Gundam anime TV since Turn A seed while Popular is bad very bad 00 im ashmaed to admit i only look over casualy cause SEED Tuned agnst AU and AGE less said the better [ sorry of e the rant but its jusy me saying avoived the gudams made pre V from the 90's] Braves was much better had batter kits and the kits sold better than most 90's Gundams did WRONG. Dragon Ball came out in the 80's. DRAGON BALL Z was 90's. Started in 89 but lasted till 96- I'd say that's 90's. There are a million Gundam series and some, Gundam Wing included, were 90's. Ranma 1/2 began in 89 but lasted till 92 and onward, so I'd say that's still 90's. Lodoss is 90-91, and there was a later TV series released in 97. Sailor Moon is 92-96 Evangelion is what, 95? Ghost in the Shell was 95 Pokemon was 96 Utena is 97 GTO is 99-00 so I can see it not being included, but it's influential enough that I would still keep it. |
AmberlehFeb 12, 2013 12:34 PM
| I believe Evangelion is 96, but I'm too lazy to check, because it doesn't matter... It's still in the 90's. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |

jessifer said: DrunkenBlowfish said: Are you looking for impact of Western industry or the industry as a whole? I'd like some for both, but probably more from the West. I'm going by the start airing time of the anime in Japan. There are two problems with that. If you want to get information on the industry as a whole, you'll have to get your information from somewhere closer to the source, in other words Japanese websites, or go to the library and brush up on some of the works by some professionals like Susan Napier, Tom Mes, William Gardner, Steven Brown and so on. The other problem with that is that if you're going by the Japanese release dates than you're not going to get the full impact of that anime on the West. Like I pointed out in the examples earlier, in the 90s there is a massive gap in release from Japan to the rest of the world. Not to mention by the time they got there some were completely different anime from their Japanese counterpart. Take Shin Chan for example, in Japan it was a kid's show full of Japanese pop culture, but by the time it was brought overseas it had been transformed for a older demographic full of Western pop culture with a completely different script. |

DateYutaka said: your wrong on shin chan cuase it aried on Kiku TV in the US the year it came out subtitled lol Except not many people watched that version. Most Americans who have seen it watched the FUNi dub on Adult Swim. The key word in this thread is influential, and the FUNi dub was much more influential in the West than the original. |
