There are some surprises, especially considering how high Naruto is and how some older shows, like City Hunter and KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops, still hold a place in the hearts of anime fans in Japan. Other shows, which you’d think would be on this list, are not, and the ordering, especially of the top ten, is interesting.

One Piece coming in at number one isn’t a shock, but the gulf between it and everything else sure is massive.
