CATDOLL: Japanese veteran otaku's selection of classic animations was criticized: there are big problems with taste

Every anime fan has his or her own masterpiece in mind. Of course, some works are recognized as masterpieces by everyone, but generally speaking, people will not easily say what masterpieces they think are masterpieces, after all, everyone has different preferences. Moreover, there are often big differences between the evaluation of works by new otakus and those with more experience, and it is easy to be criticized by real anime fans. However, recently, a Japanese netizen who claimed to be a "senior otaku" listed 30 classic masterpieces in his mind on the Internet, but these works caused complaints from other netizens. Let's take a look at what works he chose.

Netizens’ opinions: I think the top 30 classic animations should be like this:

First: Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Second place: Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

The third place: "The Street Where Only I Am Missing"

4. Higurashi When They Cry

Fifth place: Dawn Girl

6. Steins;Gate

7. A Certain Scientific Railgun

8. Black Skeleton

No. 9: "True Tears"

10. Ghost in the Shell

11th Monogatari series

12th place: "Warrior Zessou"

No. 13: Dimension W

14. Sword Art Online

15. The Idolmaster

16. Mercury Navigator

17th: CLANNAD

18th place: Anohana

19. Tiger and Dragon

20th place: "Black Contract"

Strike Witches

22nd place: A Certain Magical Index

23rd place: ALDNOAH.ZERO

No. 24: Yuuki Yuna is a Brave

No. 25: New World

No. 26: Black Declaration

No. 27: The Heroic Tale of the Failed Knight

No. 28 "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!"

29th place: K-ON!

30th place: LoveLive!

In this case, everyone has no objection, right?

Netizens' opinions: Is this considered a masterpiece of this century, or is it considered a masterpiece of the entire history of animation? How dare you not rank "Neon Genesis Evangelion"? In addition, this list has a strong otaku vibe, but if you are an otaku, you should at least put "K-ON!" in the top five, right?

Netizens' opinions: A violent death movie like "Kurosuke" can also be in the top ten... In addition, a work like "ALDNOAH.ZERO" can't be considered a masterpiece. If this is a masterpiece, then isn't "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" a masterpiece?

Netizen's opinion: If I were to choose, I would recommend "Genki-chan", "Toradora!" and "Gamus Wars" for daily life; "Steins;Gate", "Sword Art Online", "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Future Diary" for fantasy. As for others, "Higurashi When They Cry" is still worth a look. At least it's more reliable than the original poster's.

Netizen's opinion: I feel like many of these are recent works. The author claims to be a veteran, but he has only been a fan for a few years? As someone who has watched works for many years, I feel that this list is like an elementary school student's homework. Especially "The Street Where Only I Am Missing" and "Steins;Gate" are both time-travel-themed works, but the latter is obviously of a higher standard.
