| I think it's probably naruto, death note, or dbz. |
| hey spoon hru long time. ok so your answer.. maybe naruto, pokemon ,doraemon , deathnote. attack on titanand demon slayer in terms of popularity and making a influence on internet culture as a whole... if you are asking about anime that may have influenced one's life ... idk haven't seen anything like that but i would say Spider-Man OG TRilogy was super influential in my life but they are movies so idk |

| - Dragon Ball + DBZ - Astro Boy 1963 - Gundam - Demon Slayer - Pokemon And i honestly don't think other anime have made the same impact as these. Not even DN. |

| what a controversial opinion u put out there! wow! NOBODY would have ever guessed those 3 |
| Influential on the medium? NGE Influential on the consumer base? Literally just every early shounen |
 |
| Rose of Versailles, Ashita no Joe, Urusei Yatsura, Glass mask? Evangelion? Gundam? Doraemon? Lucky Star or K-on Going back even further maybe Astro Boy, in terms of the general structure and tone of future anime In terms of real life effect on people maybe Black Jack Anyway, honestly, somehow my gut says NGE is the most influential |

No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!" |
| Without Berserk there will be no Dark Souls, Demon Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro and Elden Ring. |
 |
| Pokemon, Evangelion, Doraemon, Dragon ball, Naruto, One piece, Attack on titan, etc. |
 |
| Well I have heard about people saying Yamato Battleship (old one) being most influential in mecha genre but I didnt watched it so can't say for sure but Evangelion surely done this thing. And k-on for moe culture...since I don't think before k-on,the more culture being at its peak yeah there is gunbuster and diebuster but still don't think they done it as much as k-on done it. Edit- Sword Art Online,no need for explanation. |
| Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell and Naruto. In more recent years I hate to say it but it would be Demon Slayer. And also Attack on Titan. |

I know about that but it's overall doesn't get same hype as k-on that's why I didn't mentioned about it. |
| Dragon Ball, Hunter X Hunter and Sword Art Online, I said SAO second just because it was early wave of isekai when it came out and now isekai is absolutely dominating |
| Hmmm influential -> Will not state on what type of influence as it might be for a genre/audience/anime/other. Dragon Ball. Hokuto no Ken Yuyu Hakusho Hellsing Bleach Naruto Sword art Online Black Lagoon Code Geass Gundam Series Fate Series Violet Evergarden Your Name Demon Slayer Attack on Titan HxH Death Note Fullmetal Alchemist Psycho-Pass No game No life Steins Gate Erased Haikyuu/Kuroko no Basuke Captain Tsubasa NGE Soul Eater Jojo Overlord Durarara Ghost in the Shell Pokemon Yu-gi-oh Shaman King K-on Nana Beck Berserk There might be more but so far that's what I have in mind |
| Dragon ball Sailor moon Works of Tezuka Ghibli movies Tetsujin 28-go (Gigantor) Shounen Ninja Kaze no Fujimaru (Young Ninja Fujimaru of the Wind) Jungle Taitei Mahou Tsukai Sally (Sally the Witch) MachGoGoGo (Speed Racer) Ougon Bat (Golden Bat) Mobile Suit Gundam Uchuu Senkan Yamato (Space Battleship Yamato) |

| Which mangaka or what anime exactly did this 'demon slayer' actually influenced to become a best selling manga of the year or win best anime of the year award? Btw There are 100s of demon slayers If it's Kimetsu no Yaiba,.then how many people did it influence in a couple of years to become legend of the anime industry? Can anyone really become legendary in a couple of years in the business after being influenced by something that came out in 2019? |

| Dragon ball z pretty much introduced anime to the western audience. Maybe ghost in the shell too since it inspired the matrix |
Crack said: Dragon ball z pretty much introduced anime to the western audience. Maybe ghost in the shell too since it inspired the matrix Ghost in the shell? Man last night 100s of people here literally said they have no idea who Motoko Kusanagi is.... Good luck preaching to the pretenders who claim to love anime.. Btw your answer is top notch but i doubt that anyone would appreciate it since they don't know.. |
| |
| dragon ball obviously, probably gundam 0079 as well, maybe sao too. |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by far, it's more important than Dragon Ball. Demon Slayer, Naruto and Attack on Titan You guys have gotta be kidding me |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| A few dozen anime had a very large influence on the medium and it's pretty hard to trim it down to just one, Gundam, Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, etc are all highly influential for various reasons. |

ryo-san said: I mean to be fair influence doesn't necessarily equal popularity, the movie itself might not have managed to appeal to a large audience but it certainly did have a great influence on the film makers themselves both in Japan and in the westCrack said: Dragon ball z pretty much introduced anime to the western audience.

| Neon Genesis Evangelion, SAO, DBZ, K-ON, Haruhi Suzumiya, Gundam come to mind. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| In the West and specifically the US, Akira. If not for it and the interest in anime it generated nobody would've broadcast DBZ, Cowboy Bebop etc |

It sounds like Berserk brought us nothing of value. billybub said: In the West and specifically the US, Akira.

| その目だれの目？ |
| for me; the first place goes to attack on titan,ive been following this for abt 7 years and its influenced me quite a lot 2nd would be clannad,after finishing it,i jst wasnt able to do anything for a few days,all i did was stare at the ceiling or sit in silence lmao 3rd would be naruto,i still remember watching utube tutorials to how to do jutsu handsigns,OG naruto was the most fun,during naruto shippuden,i kinda grew out of shounen a bit so it became a chore jst o finish bt still it was pretty influential and deathnote obviously |

It's not a stretch at all. I was a kid in the late 70s/early 80's and the only "anime" you were likely to see was Speed Racer or G-Force/Battle of the Planets not Astro Boy. After Akira came out my Senior year in High School anime started showing up in video stores, Bebop started airing on MTV, and DBZ on the Cartoon Network. Akira had a lot bigger impact than you think |
Lucifrost said: @billybub But you just admitted there was anime before Akira and anime after Akira. I see no proof that Akira made any difference. You do understand what the word influencential means right? |

| その目だれの目？ |
| All the babies thinking 2020's anime are influential... The most influential anime are probably Doraemon, Slam Dunk, Pokemon or DBZ. These franchises extend out to mainstream culture in a way an anime "fan" wouldn't understand. You might think your Berserk or Sword Art Online are great, but ask anyone who doesn't watch anime what Berserk is and no one could tell you. But ask any Asian person what Doraemon is, and they'd instantly know what you're talking about. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| @Lucifrost popularity. Not sure if there are even 5 other anime (apart from the rest i listed) that blew up like it did. We've had some recent stuff like Aot, OPM and jjk but none of them became a cultural wave like KnY. Also i'm sure it's one of those that popularized anime as a medium amid the pandemic alongside Aot. |
| Maybe the stuff from the 90's to the early 2000's ? At least that's when anjme became a hit outside of japan (pokemon, dbz, sailor moon, naruto, bayblade, yu gi oh...) In fact many people today say these shows got them into anime in general |
| Influence on what is the question, on its Genre, anime as a whole, on the west? Surely Akira would be named, GITS directly inspired Matrix, Evangelion cant even be singled out. Berserk? Fromsoft games say hello. Gundam? Sailor Moon? Lets go with Dragon Ball, not for anything specific but overall. |
