I mean, I will admit, I haven’t seen Yuri. But Yuri wouldn’t exist without NGE, and it certainly would not exist without Sailor Moon WHY SHE SO LOW ON THIS LIST.

insert rant about how NGE is nowhere near as influential (or good) as NGE fans think it is here

The worst is for me is including CGDCT shows like K-On and Love Live or even Lucky Star without mentioning Azumanga Daioh on the list. Truly heresy! That or I'm getting old.

Why can't it be both?

Except it's not his opinion, it's the opinion of not only his, but his fanbase, multiple other Youtubers and their fanbases, and places like R/Anime, MAL, AP (I think), etc...

It doesn't really matter, but it's interesting to talk about.

They never released a dub for it but yeah it's the proper ending.
Google Mirai Nikki Data Migration for the true ending.

Y'know, I've been watching Berserk lately, and I got an idea.

Ok, so if you guys didn't know, the studio responsible for Berserk's 1997 adaptation is the same studio that's been working on Pokémon for the past 20+ years. So, anyone who's seen the 1997 adaptation of Berserk will know that its animation budget basically consisted of a few pennies the staff found in between their couch cushions. However, over the past 20+ years, the studio has made massive leaps in animation and style capability, and this can be seen in Pokémon XY and SM of all things. To the point where, if they were to focus on series outside of Pokémon, I'm sure they'd be considered a great studio (For anyone wondering, the studio is OLM).

And you know what? I think that OLM right now is the perfect studio to work on Berserk (Mainly adapting things where they left off in the Eclipse arc) right now (I also think Madhouse and IG would be good too), as their capabilities when it comes to animation and direction has improved unbelievably just in the past 5 years alone.

I wish they had a Tsukihime anime period. I'm too much of a secondary to read the VN so all I know about it is from Carnival Phantasm.

Assassination Classroom was my most recent, I thought it was really good, it has that perfect combination of humour and seriousness that I enjoy.
This is the reason I also enjoy One Piece (will it ever end?)

Things like Bleach have always been too serious for my tastes, too dire.

Planning to watch Assassination Classroom season 2 soon!

Tsukihime actually has a manga covering the Arcueid route that even Nasu admits is pretty great.
