I'm pretty sure all the titles on here belong, so good job. But yeah this easily deserves to be number one. Korea was good too, but it only exists because of this show.
I never really watched this show as a kid. I honestly have no idea why I didn't because this show looks flat out amazing.
Not a fan of anime. Not an expert. But I always though its an anime.
One of the greatest television series of all time, period.
