It has been more than 50 years since Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy first changed the animation landscape all over the world back in 1963. Simply put, Astro Boy started the anime revolution which changed the animation landscape all over the world.


Without a doubt, the series has been preserved and is still enjoyed by younger generations more than 50 years after it was first aired. Now, Japanese entertainment giant Nikkei has conducted a survey asking 1,000 men and women aged 25-54 years of age which classic anime series do they want to preserve for younger generations.

They say nothing beats the classics and surely enough, the top 10 is full of them. Taking #1 is Yoshiyuki Tomino’s ground-breaking take on war, Mobile Suit Gundam which in itself also started a revolution by creating the Real Robot genre as well as ushering in a new age of plastic model kits.


Taking in second place is the ever-so-popular Dragon Ball series which elevated Shounen anime and became a worldwide hit. Meanwhile, two Hayao Miyazaki/ Ghibli masterpieces make it to the top 10 and they are My Neighbor Totoro and castle in the Sky which continue to touch younger audiences today.


Other series were also included but did not make it to the top 10 like One Piece (ranked #12), Slam Dunk (ranked #13), Yu Yu Hakusho (ranked #20), Ghost in the Shell (ranked #24), Dr. Slump (ranked #31) and Initial D (ranked #49)
