KamikazePotato 12/11/17 9:39:52 PM #5:	Pokemon hasn't had much of am impact. It's just a really long-running show. Neither has One Piece - it's really popular but it's not setting any new molds, just executing a previous one well.

KanzarisKelshen 12/11/17 9:40:04 PM #6:	Dragon Ball, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Sailor Moon, Mazinger Z, Mobile Suit Gundam, maybe Evangelion, Tetsujin #28, Astroboy, Doraemon, Akira and GitS are probably the shortlist for 'most important anime'. I don't think there's any others that had that same ridiculously enduring level of impact? EDIT: KP is right about HnK. Would dispute SAO and Love Live because the SAO boom died off and that shit doesn't sell at all anymore like a couple years after launch. Love Live...maybe?

KamikazePotato 12/11/17 9:46:34 PM #8:	Tons of SAO-inspired anime and light novels are still being made to this day. Isekai stuff is still pretty popular. Love Live specifically ramped up the waifu-ism aspect of anime a lot. It was always there but that kicked it into high gear. Now it's a big part of lots of anime and is often the way that shows expect to make money. If you want contemporary examples, I struggle to think of better ones.

UInstinctVegeta 12/11/17 9:52:28 PM #11:	Individually.... Pokmon,... Actual Impact...? Dragonball. It's literally not even close or debatable. Tell me what Pokmon has really affected overall in anime? There isn't, things like Monster Rancher and Digimon either existed or were being made at the same time. Now Dragonball more or less created the genre, at least to this level, and its impact of every single anime remotely for children the last 30 years can't be overstated. And more importantly than anything. Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon (and I guess to a much MUCH lesser extent Ronin and Gundam Wing) are the reasons Anime matters in this country... Pokmon made Pokmon big here. Speed Racer and Astro Boy were kinda hits, but didn't make Anime big. Sailor Moon and DB/Z are the reasons for that. <cite>UInstinctVegeta posted [p:892043086] in What would... [t:76088739]...</cite> <quote>Individually.... Pokmon,... Actual Impact...? Dragonball.

pyresword 12/11/17 9:52:41 PM #12:	I feel like K-On or maybe Haruhi is the answer as far as impact on anime goes. Or at least I think it's that instead if you want to go the route I think you guys are envisioning with Love Live. Could probably also make an argument here for shows in different genres with similar status, such as Dragonball or SAO.

KokoroAkechi 12/11/17 10:30:56 PM #30:	It depends what you mean by impact because that's hard to measure. Akira is often credited for legitimizing the medium in the west. It paved the way for releases of the likes of GitS. However, I'll be honest I don't know what kind of impact it had for the actual industry in the way something like the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya did in that her show basically started a trend of Light Novel Adaptations (although you could argue this was an inevitable). Her show was not even the first to do it, just the first one who built up massive acclaim. But like Haruhi another show in Evangelion is atm not that well known in the west outside of actual anime fans (or people on the internet who know people who like anime). But to its credit several modern character archetypes are based on Evangelion characters (even if they were not the first one to do it. Their versions are pretty obviously the go to). It's interesting because like Haruhi (who played with common comedic mediums and school anime tropes to make a great show), Evangelion did the same thing with serious topics and the mecha genre. As far as things being mainstream go it's most likely DBZ is probably the go to answer as it's still reasonably popular here, but from what I understand Japan is kind of over it (like 10 years ago), because they are in a love live phase now. If you want to go by like a franchise then it's pokemon. Like, that's not even a debate imo. But the anime is just one small part in an empire that was worth like 1/6 the GDP of Japan... over 10 years ago. Like as far as real influence goes something like K-On (2009) might be as far back as I'm willing to go. Anything else is too new to really grasp the lasting effects and if I'm honest I might even dial that back to Haruhi (2006). Also Haruism is a religion in like the same way Jedi is... so there's that. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:892045527] in What would...

The reason I don't give it credit is that SAO itself did not have lasting popularity. You can't make a major impact if nobody gives a shit about you anymore just a couple years later. That's just a public opinion wave, nothing more. Contrast with the ones I listed - all of those are themselves beloved properties.

I'll say that gachas aren't a great indicator of lasting impact though - popularity doesn't indicate influence, necessarily. Jojo changed battle shonen forever with parts 2 and 3 and it was still a complete unknown outside Japan until the anime was broadcast worldwide, for example. Gundam got canceled and it invented the Real Robot genre, more or less. You get the idea - it's not instant popularity that marks if a show is impactful or not, it's what marks it leaves on the medium after it's over combined with significant critical and popular acclaim. --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. <cite>KanzarisKelshen posted [p:892052241] in What would...
