The most popular titles were somewhat predictable. One piece He was selected six times, and led the group. Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Gurren Lagann, And Neon Genesis Evangelion They each got four votes, while Cowboy Bebop And The attack on the Giants They both got three. Then, 16 titles were selected twice, with each title receiving 45 titles receiving one vote. This means that nearly half of the titles selected were chosen only once. The range was incredible.
The overwhelming contributing factor among respondents seemed to be when in their lives they witnessed their selection for the first time. Most referred to their formative years, giving their choice a great deal of credit for shaping them into the person they are today. Moreover, the reasons given were as diverse as the list itself. Among them: the quality of the animation, the performance of the voice acting, the characters, the stories, the violence, the human anatomy, the level of creativity, to name a few.
Some participants laughed, some cried, and nearly all gave emotionally charged responses that proved how powerful their choices were that still resonate with them to this day.
