No cyruz was right, about 400 items are displayed, they could easily be from the 7 shows posted.

I think it's actually a decent choice to gather non-animefans or potential anime fans, who wouldn't know about the non-hyped stuff. Though I would've skipped Yu-gi-oh! and probably Pokemon too. No wonder people think 'manga is for kiddies'.

I would have skipped that entire list, with the possible exception of Princess Mononoke which I haven't seen. Not one of them is a series worth watching after you finish puberty.

DBZ,Yu-Gi-Oh and Ghost in a Shell. Everything else I don't like so those are the only three things I would be looking at.

Woo!

Fighting evil by moonlight
Winning love by daylight
Never running from a real fight
She is the one named Sailor Moon
She will...never turn her back on a friend
She is... always there to defend
She is...the one on whom we can depend

She is the one named Sailor.....
.... Sailor Venus
.... Sailor Mercury
.... Sailor Mars
..... Sailor Jupiter
With secret powers
All so new to her
She is the one named Sailor Moon

Fighting evil by moonlight
Winning love by daylight
With her Sailor Scouts to help fight
She is the one named Sailor Moon
She is the one named Sailor Moon
She is the one . . . Sailor Moon

I do admit the choices of YUGIOH, DBZ, Pokemon and Sailor Moon are unusual choices but you have to admit they probably were the most mainstream animes of the 90's you could say they really began the anime revolution. Yes anime was around before but it was still pretty obscure and an entire niche market compared to today.
