Why did the M&M go to school? He wanted to be a Smartie.

Fun fact: the bleach creator almost gave up on it, but thanks to akira toriyama, he had the inspiration to keep it going
That makes me appreciate and miss Toriyama even more
That and he couldn’t think of a story until he made Aizen then made the story around him 😂
That’s cool. The creator of Shaman King did a manga series with Stan Lee.
Real fact: that's false, but Akira Toryama will be missed.
@@brandonredboyhe’s half right and wrong. Toriyama didn’t save it himself like some believe, but he did give kubo words of encouragement which helped kubo want to continue it

Thank you 👏
Thank you. I don't see Inuyasha so im just gonna skip this video
I'm skipping no one piece
@@ShinymanJuwonone piece came out in 1999.
Thank you! You're awesome!
Full Metal alchemist is just too good that both versions were on the list. Plus that Nina chimera scenes were the most saddest disturbing scene ever and it just Intensifies when you get older and become a father.
Even without Ash and Team Rocket, Pokemon Horizons is still awesome. I hope more people will give it a chance
Well said.
*looking at all the 2000s and 2010s selection* OH GOSH!!! I just relived elementary, middle, high school AND college 🫠🫠🫠
I had no idea the Solo Leveling anime would be as popular as it is, but I’m not complaining because I love it so far
It seems you haven't readed the novel or manhua, your missing out if you haven't
👏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s baiscally a better sword art online
the manhwa is peak but that first season was overhyped… it gave me high expectations that failed but still gave the manhwa a chance so i see it deserving the hype after that first season.
Bro just shut up 1 peace has d worse story, worse animation and worse protagonists of the big3 in any year. Just a drawn out mess.. U waiting till episode 1060 to finally see these guys actually do something ok
2:13, 3:16, 4:09, 8:16, 9:11, 11:00, 12:58, 16:01, 16:58, 17:52, 18:49, 19:43, 21:47, I’d like to see these anime do a crossover with Kingdom Hearts
The first series of One Punch Man will always hold a special place in my heart
ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you guys should do a "most underrated anime" list
Exactly, a lot of underrated anime are really good but it doesn’t pop up, Like Kingdom
Nana is criminally underrated
Vinland saga
Noragami

I love this list; I grew up watching these. ❤🎉
Same
Same here dudes 😄😁
That's awesome!
@@WatchMojo IKR! 😄😁
Dragon Ball Super during 2017/18 was legit the most viewed, especially during Tournament of Power. As for this year, i don't think that anything can beat Solo Leveling. Finished the manwha and i can't wait some of the fights to be animated!
2006 was giga banger, Gintama- death note, code geass, fate stay night, higurashi, suzumiya and so on
Yugioh, popular when it came out. Solo Leveling and Chainsaw Man, 10/10 crazy fun series.
absolutely right, I remember having multiple sets of cards from the show as well. Also there was a PS2 game that I can't remember the name of .
@@Reaperguy67 I still have all of my Yu-Gi- Oh cards
@@CandiceVidito nice, I don't have mine at all, I been thinking about getting some at Walmart
I am relatively new to the anime world. I started with Death Note last year because of a random suggestion followed by crying my eyes out for AOT this year. Currently, I am obsessed with Gojo Saturo. Will be definitely coming back here for more recommendations.
This anime list is good, of course, something that isn't listed here that I recommend are:
Samurai Champloo (Samurai + Hiphop!)
Hell's Paradise
Kengan Ashura
Yakitate! Japan!
Eyeshield 21
Kaiju No. 8
Don't wanna be that guy but in english it's Satoru (first name) Gojo In case you didnt know (since he also said so in this video)
Y'all need to do one from the 60s or 70s to 1999
love seeing eureka seven getting a shoutout. the dub cast,animation and story is just so good and the soundtrack is brilliant
Thanks For this Guys! You're the Best ❤❤❤❤
What cookie flavor do monkeys love? Chocolate Chimp!
@@Dad-Says-Jokes Not funny
@@Dad-Says-Jokes you need to stop spamming
You're the best!
One Punch Man is the most rewatchable anime in my opinion... it just never gets old!
Omg i was not expecting angel beats to be on the list at all. I am so happy
Currently, my favorite is Attack on Titan, then Naruto, then probably Jujutsu Kaisen. Solo Leveling is definitely one of the best. Demon Slayer is also really good. Just watched I want to eat your pancreas… loved it, but probably won’t watch it again.
The storytelling of Deathnote is goated, and Kimetsu No Yaiba had the most artistic battles and settings.
One piece in 2023 might be the biggest year for a manga/anime franchise. Was kinda insane with all the stuff it had going on
Pokemon for 2022 as well. That final battle with Leon is gonna be written in the history books
This video is all based on the first year the series started with a couple of caveats for remakes like Hunter X Hunter and Fullmetal Alchemist. One Piece would've been the choice if they included 1999.
@@jonmendelson1104 one piece should’ve been the caveat tbf but I hear ya
The audible gasp i gusped when Angel beats came on this list. I’ve never talked to another Angel beats fan and it’s my favorite anime of all time
Angel beats was good
I might rewatch it tbh
the 2024 anime in this list should be "I was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I can take my time Perfecting my Magical Skill"
Fun Fact: The creator of Shaman King Hiroyuki Takei did a Manga Series with Stan Lee. Karikuri Doji Ultimo.
Fun Fact number 2: There’s actually a theory that one of the characters in either Angel Beats or Corpse Parade is Light from Death Note because this character is frequently just laying sprawled out on the stairs in the same pose that Light was in when he died.
You mean Death Parade, right?
@@Kaneko2518 Yes thank you. I couldn’t remember the actual name.
I have plenty of favorites. There’s Fruits Basket (2001 version and 2019 reboot) Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Black Clover, Demon Slayer, Soul Eater, and My Hero Academia. ❤️❤️❤️
Who can’t help but love all these amazing series! 😆
were is code geass comes in the picture?
October 5, 2006 ???
I don't think it was more popular than Death Note.
Yes! Haikyuu made the list! Love that show!
soul eater's animation and gothic feel always made it so good to watch
Ese primer " Baaaaan ... Kai " me sigue emocionando hasta hoy...
Same ❤
Frieren:"Our Show is now rule all over the media!"
"Hm, hm, hm!"(Smiling Face)
A lot of people seem to not know Hunter X Hunter's manga released in 1998 and that there was a 1999 anime series as well.
So what the narrator says about HxH being an answer to the shounen genre becoming stale... HxH was already ahead of its time at the end of the 90s, right before the Naruto manga even dropped and the Naruto anime even aired.
While that's true and I contemplated commenting about it, the narrator did specifically mention "the second attempt at adapting Hunter X Hunter."
Now do a list of 2nd most popular anime for each year 😊. They’re good too!
What I find weird is a lot of early 2000s anime didn't really follow the source material and that resulted in animes being remade. (HxH, FMAB and bleach should get a remake because the first 100 episodes had Kubo pulling his hair out)
Overlord for 2015 and Durarara!! for 2010. 2 under rated shows
Soul eater is a great shoutout. They need to remake it ASAP
You said “ask your parents if they…” about a 2001 show. I was like : Damn I’m old.
In the name of all that is good, please do a reboot of "The Rose of Versailles" and "Legend of Basara" 🙏
Too soon to choose 2024. There are many will be come.
Solo Levelling is fine, buuut I'm more intrigued with Kaiju No. 8
Tokyo Revengers vs Eminence in the Shadows....Yeah, I'll talk the latter any day
I love Yu-Gi-Oh but the anime of the year for 2000 for me is Pokemon. The show was still rolling and going wild and is still kicking butt today. It had a hit movie in 2000 as well and Pokemon was still going crazy with the cards and games being hot commodities.
This is purely based on the first year of the series. Pokemon started in 1997 so it wouldn't qualify.
@@jonmendelson1104 really? Because I didn’t hear them say in the video it was only first year.
@@Trekapedia They might not have explicitly said it but if you look at the list that's pretty clearly what they did. Every one of the anime they listed was in its first year, they didn't have any later seasons of anime even if they had different names, etc.
I have to say this real quick about the full metal alchemist. Being here the only reason they didn't follow the full manga in the first series was because it wasn't finished yet. an the mangaka gave them the permission to write their own ending for the first Series.
Yu-Gi-Oh! was not only one of The Greatest Anime's of the 2000 but unarguably one The Greatest Card Games ever created.
I still have my Yu-Gi-Oh deck. My deck is a mix of different types of cards including the Crystal beasts and a Ghost Rare Holographic Rainbow Dragon.
You have Black Clover for 2017 and Slime for 2018 but I still remember Dragon Ball Super being the most over anime during those two years due to the Universe Survival arc. Even people who didn't watch a lot of anime watched Dragon Ball Super during that period.
As for this year, I agree with Solo Leveling. Just finished it and it is the best anime this year so far.
Dragon ball is from 1986 so,i think you misunderstood title of this video.
It's only about top anime started in between 2000-2024
Omg...actually just trying to rank the anime ive watched personally in my head....I can't do it,I didnt know till I started counting but I'm well over 40-50 different anime finished,then probably another 15-20 ive tried but didn't care for,my head hurts now 😂😂 too many anime
Naruto,Bleech, attack on Titan,demon slayer,jujutsu kaisen and chainsaw man are my favourite animes
Kudos for watchmojo in making video. There is no need for you to compare each title. Each of them are a league of their own. We don't need a top 1 anime what we all need are quality anime production.
My Top 3 Popular Anime`s are:
1. Tokyo Revengers
2. Jujutsu Kaisen
3. Demon Slayer
I liked Frerein, but I feel Oshi No Ko was the best anime of 2023. It had an interesting story, amazing animation, and an amazing opening song(Idol by Yaosobi). A song so popular, it is the 1st Japanese produced song to hit #1 on the Worldwide Billboard charts.
I would say that 2018 should have been "Darling in the Franxx"
Great list!
Glad you enjoyed it
Black Clover is my favorite on this list, however Frieren and Jujutsu Kaisen are awesome too
having only 2 seasons of OPM in 10 years should be illegal
Tell that to no game no life fans
I'm surprised Pokemon, One Piece, Naruto, and Dragonball were not on this list.

Believe me, 2014- true popular anime is Tokyo Ghoul. Haikyuu!! is also damn popular but not as much as TG
I’ll be in the proud minority to say that Food Wars is the superior 2015 anime over One Punch Man. Hopefully we get a live action version of Food Wars in the future.
Solo Leveling is an incredible anime and deserves all the hype.
this list is extremely accurate
KAIJU N8 will soon be on the list
Maes Hughes 😢
It’s a bad day for rain
Ready for Solo Leveling season 2!!!
I wonder what sources they used for this. Not including dragon ball super is egregious. Its viewership numbers and records reigned over other anime for 2 years in LATAM alone
It seemed like, aside from full remakes (HxH and FMA), they just used the year the initial anime came out. Dragon Ball Super wasn't a new series, it was a new season of an existing series. There were other series that had new seasons with different titles come out that were arguably more popular than the listed one (first thing that comes to mind is Naruto Shippuden in 2007 likely being more popular than Gurren Lagann).
@@jonmendelson1104 I suppose you're right. I hadn't noticed that at first, but then that makes this list untruthful. Because the name is most popular anime of that year, and it specifically lists premiers
Just saying, I would've waited until 2025 in case Suicide Squad Isekai did better than Solo Leveling
They can always remake the list or change it for the next edition.
Jus rewarched all of yugioh and the movies timeless nostalgia
Look, I know I’m just a casual anime fan but NO DRAGONBALL SUPER?!?!?!
Euerka Seven. In my opinion. Is the best Mecha and Romance anime
First Sailor Moon Crystal, Digimon, Shaman King, Lum, and Tokyo Mew Mew were reboot which past anime series will get a reboot in the future next Super Doll Licca-Chan, Saber Riders and the Star Sheriff, Saint Tails, Lets & Go, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, Wedding Peach, Beast Wars, Tai Chi Chasers or Spider Riders.
One Anime i like as much as the slime isekai is Eminence in Shadow. It's in my opinion a nuanced approach to an anti hero in anime.
The best anime of the year 2024 has to be The Elusive Samurai
The same creator behind Assassination Classroom by Yusei Matsui. This historical action anime has just getting much better and better, hence the stunning animation, visuals, and of course the transitions.
How are you uploading so dang often??!
the same way other people do it
3:51 YO WHAT?!
Naruto & Attack on Titan
0:23, 3:16, 9:11, 12:08, 16:01, 18:49, 20:46,these shows are where true evil lies
3:51 - 3:53 the only right answer Ash 😂
i dont understand why Crunchyroll didnt just start Solo Leveling, Tower of God, and God of High school to start the anime with Japanese not the Korean being that it is Korean content
kaiju 8 has a promising start
I read about 60 chapters of the manga and then stopped. Might go back to it at some point.
Yugioh and Naruto. No doubt. 💯
code geass not being here is criminal
My most favorite anime growing up will always be Yu-Gi-Oh!, no matter if it's in English or in Japanese.
Not including BlueLock kinda pissed me off …
Not sure if you already did it but here goes a couple of suggestions.
The same list but for anime movies (Ghibli studio left out)
And another one lije thia pne but for 1976 to 1999
Finally watchmojo remembered Eureka Seven exists
Black clover and That time I got reincarnated as a slime was here, which is absolutely based and true!!!!
Wow. I forgot One Piece came before Yugioh: Duel Monster's anime.
I have some favorite anime. My list is a bit long and don't want to take them all up.
personally i only like
bleach
angel beats
fma
hunter x hunter
sao(1st ark only)
aot(season 1 and 2 only)
one punch man
my hero academia
black clover
that time i got reincarnated as a slime
demon slayer
jujutsu kaisen
tokyo revengers
number 1&2 in my need to watch list
after predicting almost all of ep. 1 of black clover i checked out after they said the fifth clover was the devil.
When you mentioned parents with Fruits Basket i was gagged lmao. Im old
Yugioh and Pokemon are the only anime I watched in english dub, besides beyblade if its considered an anime. Kinda wish pokemon would be here after ash defeated leon but I guess that's more of a memorable scene
I'm shocked Blue Lock isn't on this list
I still don't think that Adult Gon can beat hisoka
Tokyo Revengers ❤
Japanese animes are still on another level. Koreans and chinese animes still got a long way to go
Whaaaaat Overlord wasnt even mentioned? Thats so unfair...
The original FMA is the best and shout out to Assassination Classroom!
