28 Anime Ranked in IMDB 250 Top TV series of All Time

Recently IMDB 250 top TV series of all time was released. And wouldn’t you know it, 28 of these selections just so happen to be Anime. That a whopping 11%. Now I know that it doesn’t seem like much but considering this is a of all time list from a site that generally doesn’t look at anime that way, I’d say its pretty impressive. So what do you think of this list and did any of your favorites happen to make the cut? Or is there any shows that you think should have made this list? For one thing I’m really surprised that Madoka Magica didn’t make it but I guess most of these series are kind of generic shone stuff or mecha, so it’s not that surprising. Mushi-shi is probably the only show that doesn’t fit into that category here.

My names Logan and I love writing about Anime. Other art is guchi too. When I'm not writing gonzo reviews I'm writing books. *If interested look up The Dream Sequence on Amazon.* I usually write more editorial stuff than just plain reviews. I like my writing to be more big picture. I feel consumer reviews are a thing of the past and more personal reviews are the most valuable nowadays.
