The Ten most influential Anime.

I know that not many people here like anime.

But I will write anyway.

This take lists the anime that were so good

that they were dubbed in more than 7 languages.

Death Note

The 10 most Influential Anime

Death note is a mind bender.

The story is about Lite Yagami, who finds a book called 'Death Note' which gives the user the power to kill anyone just by thinking about the person and writing the name on the book.

Our character develops a 'God Complex' and becomes the villain.

Pokemon

The 10 most Influential Anime

The franchise began as a pair of video games for the original Game Boy that were developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo. It now spans video games, trading card games, animated television shows and movies, comic books, and toys.

Also pokemon is so controversial that some Christian, Jewish, Muslim Orgs and PETA found it to be very offensive.

Pokemon deserves a dedicated my take.

ShinChan

The 10 most Influential Anime

Shinnosuke Nohara is a cheeky little kid, famous for causing trouble wherever he is.

This anime series is amazingly humorous.

In Asia, every school kid knows this name.

However, there is an urban rumour saying the writer, Yoshito Usui, was inspired by the story of a kid, named Shinnosuke, who died while saving his sister from a car accident.

SailorMoon

The 10 most Influential Anime

Sailor moon is a shojo manga. Meaning, it was aimed at young girls.

The series follows the adventures of a young schoolgirl named Usagi Tsukino as she transforms into the titular character to search for a magical artifact called the "Legendary Silver Crystal". During her journey, she leads a diverse group of comrades, the Sailor Soldiers Sailor Guardians in later editions—as they battle against villains to prevent the theft of the Silver Crystal and the destruction of the Solar System.

One Piece

The 10 most Influential Anime

The series begins with the execution of Gol D. Roger, a man known as the King of the Pirates. Just before his death, Roger announces that his treasure, the One Piece, will be available to anyone who finds it, beginning the Great Pirate Era. As a result, countless pirates set out to the Grand Line to look for the treasure.

Twenty-two years later, Monkey D. Luffy, a young man inspired by his childhood idol and powerful pirate "Red Haired" Shanks, sets off on a journey from the East Blue sea to find the One Piece and proclaim himself as the King of the Pirates.

This series has produced a stunning 778 episodes since 1999.

Kids love this one.
