What anime belong on the Mount Rushmore of anime?

What anime belong on the Mount Rushmore of anime?

Yamato, Ashita no Joe, Gundam, Versailles no Bara. Any other answer is ignorant and WRONG.

Bleach is the best of Big 3.

Goku, Luffy, Ash Ketchum and Yugi

Gundam

Mazinger Z*

for anime in general?

Astroboy

Doraemon

Kenshiro or Goku, leaning on Goku

Gundam

It's probably Astro Boy, Urusei Yatsura, Gundam and Akira.

prettu good, but replace Yatsura with Doraemon and is perfect

Astro Boy, Char Aznable, Lum Invader, Goku.
Top 4 is almost impossible modo but that’s the best I got.

SHITch

UY before Akira

1)Tetsuwan Atom
2)Hokuto no ken/Dragon ball
3)Evangelion
4)Precure

Hard to pick between hokuto no ken and dragon ball, also, a lot of these works had a precursor that was just as influential, but these are easily among the key works That shaped what anime is today.

Astro Boy (Tezuka), Gundam (Mecha), Goku (Battle Shounen), Sailor Moon (Mahou Shoujo)

Instead of four old guy faces, we should carve tits on a mountain.

No one from the manga and anime industry is more recognizable than Goku and Luffy.

oh, damn, pretty similar choices to mine.
Kenshiro vs goku is really hard to choose, both crazy influential.

what is UY the founding father of?

honestly Kenshiro over goku even though DB is more iconic since he was there before therefor more of a founding father of battle shonen, arguable Kinnikuman before Goku too

that's not the point of a mount rushmore, retard

What is UY the founding father of

Tsundere, magical girlfriend genre, waifu culture in general, Rumiko’s career, Oshii’s career. Massive Otaku milestone.

Sailor Moon

Not even close.

did it really? no one talked about this shit until like 2010s when people where hipsters about it because is retro and the first tsundere waifu that would come to mind would clearly be Asuka from Eva

be honest, you just want to have a girl there for the sake of having a girl there

The west was slow to care about it, but she’s Doraemon-tier recognizable in Japan.

No, she’s just the most iconic girl in anime.

The argument that toei solidified the maho shoujo ganre with sailor moon and cutie honey flash is acceptable, but most most modern maho shoujo take after precure instead.

she’s just the most iconic girl in anime.

well you just admitted as such, you weren't thinking of the 4 founding father of anime, you thought about her for the sake of having a girl there indeed, is okay to admit that, I was about to do it with Sailor Moon

I love go nagai but a lot of his works inspired pieces that ended up replacing his works on the throne.

all anime or just shonen like in the pic?

nta
UY is the founder of harems in the modern sense in a way. Every few episodes had a new eyecandy revolving around ataru, with the theme of always going back to lum in the end. Saying she deserves to be there is a good argument

She’s obviously top 4 lol “mascot of anime” tier.

UY is the founder of harems in the modern sense in a way.

again you are not thinking about anime in general, you just wanted a girl there for the sake of having a girl there but overall is clearly not top 4 in general influence
no way in hell bro

Newfriend does not know what not that anon means.

Lurk 2 years before posting

Yes way bro, I don’t know why you’re seething about it, there is no relevancy tier above her.

harems are niche, why the hell would that warant a mt. rushmore spot? is clear that you people just want a girl there

you say that as if it was ever that relevant in the first place

UY isn’t relevant

Alright, you’re just a retard.

Which one is it?:

Hates Rumiko Takahashi

Angry you are uninformed

Hate waifu culture

Have other characters you care about more

Because you’re basically arguing that Bugs Bunny is irrelevant right now.

it really isn't compared to the likes of Astroboy, Doraemon, Akira, Lupin The IIIrd, FoTN, Gundam, DB, Doraemon, Eva, Ninja Scrolls, Ashita no Joe, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon and what not

top 4 as a founding father and making an impact in the industry is a stretch that is all, you know is a stretch, is like on the same plane as Crayon Shin Chan but with a cute girl instead of weird looking people

>Hates Rumiko Takahashi

>Angry you are uninformed

>Hate waifu culture

>Have other characters you care about more

I never said any of this, keep your Asperger's down

comparing Lum to Bugs Bunny

LMFAOOOOOOOO

You’re an absolute mongoloid if you think Ninja Scroll and YYH is more iconic/influential/relevant than UY. Lum is Pikachu tier. Goku tier. Doraemon tier. If she doesn’t make your list it’s because you picked someone right next to her.

Lum is pikachu tier

Yes.

Dude your extreme is way more ridiculous, one if saying that UY is not top 5 which is fair, your saying Lum is Pikachu tier, come on now

She’s one of the most iconic, influential and recognizable anime characters of all time. I’m not exaggerating even a little.

I guess she did pave the way for waifufags like you to have major tunnel vision

UY was one of the first anime that pushed that whole girl merch craze. You could also credit Macross for it though. But either way those two were the first series getting statue-like figures of the girls targeting hardcore fans, to the point magazines had instructions on how to "convert" them into characters from other series since most shows didn't have that kind of merch at that point.

Ah, and the meta reason for playing dumb is revealed. Should have guessed at “ninja scroll” lmao

So you just want to have a girl there

More than one person is calling you a dumbass, and yes, “the girl craze” is a massive part of anime culture, and Lum is in the highest tier of recognition. My selection of her already narrows it down to the most iconic characters of all time and gives her the win due to influence. There’s a handful of characters that are sane choices instead of her, but to pretend like she isn’t rushmore tier is just cope.

Goku (Battle Shounen)

Ring ni Kakero was significantly more influence than Dragon Ball. It literally shaped what we known as shonen today.

Sailor Moon (Mahou Shoujo)

Creamy Mami and Minky Momo, both preceded Sailor Moon.

Only when you narrow it down to girls only

Yes? Are you underaged or just stupid?

one piece

Oh, never mind. You are both. Urusei Yatsura literally shaped Otaku cultured.

being the first one isn't worth shit

No Dragonball definitely has more influence, though DB may have ripped off from that like DBZ ripped off from Yu Yu Hakusho with Vegeta being Hiei

Also for Sailor Moon it depends I don't know much about Shoujo but I know Sailor Moon was a pioneer in many Shoujo tropes

Objectively false.

Lala's tits
Asuka's tits
Bulma's tits
Lum's tits

So she wouldn't be there if it was a girl's only club?

Ring ni Kakero

Creamy Mami and Minky Momo

nobody knows or cares what this is

being the first one to use a trope doesn't matter when you got surpassed at every conceivable metric

She’s there in either case, though a girl’s only club she would be an autoinclude, whereas in the full landscape of anime she’s simply an incredibly sane choice amongst the other titans.

Is not an insane choice but it is a stretch no less, I really don't see how it is more impactful than Akira like what I was first told

Not even a little bit of a stretch.

It is when you say is more impactful than Akira

Akira is an influential production, the capstone of the 80s bubble, important to overseas recognition of anime, normie popular and a cyberpunk touchstone… it’s not as influential as UY.

Pikachu
Hello Kitty

normie popular

So it objectively made more impact, there's many animation technique that Akira pioneered, things that matter

Meanwhile you people are glazing UY because it has a girl love interest and few more

This is like saying Jake The Snake is more impactful than Hulk Hogan because lots of wrestlers use the DDT

So it objectively made more impact

False. UY had more of an effect on Otaku and anime at large.

Wrong. Nothing to even discuss here. Nobody cares about it.

Otaku yeah in that bubble but anime at large, hell no, is the citizen kane of anime for a reason unironically

Facts no one even talks about the plot of the show, but it has le retro waifu

False.
False, Otaku are more relevant to anime, considering many of them work in it. The number of productions owed in part to the conversation Lum started with fans is honestly immeasurable.

Common this is exactly like saying neckbeard smarks are more important to wrestling than casual wrestling fans

Nobody cares about it. Nobody talks about it. It draws no money. Its only claim to fame is that it coincidentally had some similar tropes that are featured in much better and much more popular series.

False equivalence.
Your ignorance isn’t an argument,

Honestly , name 5 iconic UY scenes

Akira has plenty as just a movie

Ofc the Kaneda bike turn

The introduction of Neo Tokyo

The elevator scene

Tetsuo's mutation

The explosion

Many are imitated because it made an impact as an anime

It is, you are literally saying that the nerds matter more than the casual fans

Replace Goku's face with Jiren's and it's accurate.

Washington, the first president in US history

Astro Boy, the first protagonist in Anime history - obviously influential and goes without saying

Jefferson, the greatest and next-most-iconic first-gen president

Doraemon, the most iconic and persistent old-school MC - represents the '70s and inspired the faces of Ghibli and Pokémon

Lincoln, the president who unified the American economy and saved the US from fragmentation

Char Aznable, the MC who marks the birth of Anime's high culture - encompasses the entire '80s and inspired every sci-fi since (e.g. Macross, Akira, GITS, Evangelion, Bebop)

Roosevelt, the president who unleashed the American empire

SSJ Goku, the MC who unleashed Big Anime - encompasses the entire '90s & 21st Century and inspired every Shonen since (e.g. Yugioh, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Demon Slayer)
4/4 with Goku, good job!

Though now I understand it more

You are looking at it from an Otaku pov
I'm looking at it from a general industry pov

Stop spamming

Otaku have more influence on the general industry.

Not at all, like nerdier fans they are an economic pillow that would be loyal no matter what while everyone goes for the casuals if they want to make real money in the business

Not at all

Actually delusional.

having girls in a male icon list at all

Lol. Lmao even. Stupid feminist, the US presidents are all Male! Make a separate Mt. Rushmore for Female MCs if you want to put females on a pedestal.

Says the guy that insists that UY is more influential that Akira because some neckbeards like it more, hang yourself

Lum is Rushmore worthy and you gotta deal with it.
Because she is objectively as iconic and more influential on anime culture and the industry.

You will NEVER have a female president.

No it is not, you said yourself that it matters in the Otaku bubble rather than the industry as a whole

3DPD out of NOWHERE

Done.

DPD
DBZ is Cel-animated, you four-eyed beta faggot.

What are you gonna do about it?

No, she impacts both, Otaku and the industry are linked, BD sales and merch prop up the industry, and creatives in the industry are often Otaku. The waifu meta is a huge aspect of the industry as a whole and Lum is the lightningrod that solidified that as a relevant aspect of production.

Lurk for 1000 years before posting again.

Where is HIS spot?

Stop masturbating for at least a week before you say another word about putting a female onto Mt. Rushmore.

We don't do that kind of thing here on Anon Babble.

Devilman
Mazinger
Cutie Honey
Change! Sabu

Frieren, LoGH, Bocchi the reddit

Anon Babble died and revived foe this thread...

As for a potential Female Mt. Rushmore:

Fujiko

Lum

Usagi

Ayanami Rei

Get fit and get yourself a woman already anon. This is getting pathetic.

Rokuhira Chihiro.

but Kagurabachi doesn't have an anime

SOON.

that should be just 4 goku heads the others aren't relevant

True, albeit only true, as far as successive Shonen MCs go.

Little does your neckbeard ass know that I am not a virgin or even single, infact I have a daughter so this doesn't work on me

Replace either Lum or Fujiko with Hello Kitty

Lying wont make your fantasies true, anon. Thats pretty sad.

Basic things are a fantastic milestone to you

Says a lot about you if anything

Luffy looks like he has downs when you compare him to the rest of them.

Little does your neckbeard ass know that I am not a virgin or even single, infact I have a daughter so this doesn't work on me

I never acted like having a wife and kids is fantasy, you did retard, so here is another failed insult

what's the worst anime of the 2020's yet?

blech

astro boy
evangelion
haruhi
akira

SDF Macross, 0079 Mobile Suit Gundam, Ashita no Joe, Dragon Ball.
