  2. IT'S DORAEMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. YES POKEMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. My list as a native Japanese (in no particular order)

    Doraemon
    Anpanman
    Sazae-San
    Crayon Shin-Chan
    Chibi Maruko-Chan
    Pokémon
    Detective Conan
    One Piece
    DRAGON BALL
    Attack on Titan

    Jujutsu Kaisen & Demon Slayer are pretty popular, but those two are not even close to be put on the top 10 most popular anime IN JAPAN when there are other candidates such as “Mobile Suit Gundam”, “HUNTER×HUNTER” or “Naruto”.

    And you disrespected Doraemon by putting it at #6 lmao That anime is at least top 3. It’s legendary in Japan.

  5. Im so glad One Piece is in this list and not Naruto. All Naruto fans does is talk down One Piece and belittle it without even watching it. Ive seen both and One Piece is miles better.

  6. Reason i came to Japan is i like anime a lot 😮

  7. 鬼滅とか呪術より進撃の方が全然有名だし人気だと思うんだが…???
    鬼滅はなんかありがちなストーリーで子供には人気って感じだし、呪術は面白かったけど途中から失速して漫画の終わり方なかなか酷かったし

  8. YES MY HERO AND DEMON SLAYER!

  9. POKEMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. Dragon Ball z will always be my favorite

  11. Too bad anime's like Crayon Shin-chan, Doraemon, Anpanman, Detective Conan/Case Closed, Chibi Maruko-chan, and Sazae-san aren't popular here in the US because Americans prefer Shōnen anime.

  12. The Simpsons may be more popular in America, but Sazae-san is Japan's equivalent of Sesame Street, with both debuting in 1969, and both being their respective countries' longest-running shows ever.

  13. I didn't chibi maruko chan if I didn;t watch this video. Also, are you using blue archive OST?

  14. I thought Doraemon would be in the top 3, but still among the top 10 most popular anyway.
    At least Detective Conan is among the 3 most popular ones & I'm hardly surprised.

  15. Doraemon at this Point is a god in Japan , that amount of fame for a fictional character is unimagineable.

  16. Haven’t started the video yet, my assumption is Shin Chan has to be on the list somewhere.

    It’s such a shame the hilarious dub has been forgotten in the West.

  17. BIG LIAR‼️
    ANPAN MAN is ICHIBAN!
    From Japanese perspective😎

  18. Wow pokemon didn't even make the list

  19. I'm surprised Keroro Gunsou wasn't on this list. Real shame. Kero 🐸

  20. I am living in an age where very little things surprise me. I am surprised that SAZAE-SAN got the number one spot. That is something.
    Also, CRAYON SHIN-CHAN*, CHIBI MARUKO-CHAN, and DORAEMON* got the spots in this video. I am so surprised.
    I wonder why URUSEI YATSURA is not here. I mean without that, we would not have the American cartoon, GALAXY HIGH, but the popular American cartoon STAR VS. THE FORCES OF EVIL.

    *CRAYON SHIN-CHAN had an episode with Shin-Godzilla to coincide with the hype of the 2016 film.
    *The STAND BY ME DORAEMON trilogy was directed by Takashi Yamazaki, who directed GODZILLA MINUS ONE (2023). Also, how is ONE-PIECE and NARUTO is like DORAEMON? It is like saying without Charlie Chaplin, we would have no King Kong. How is one thing like the others?

  21. Pokémon,sailor moon and Dragon ball are my favourite top Japanese Anime I love

  22. Shinchan is famous in India, too

  23. what about fullmetal alchemist brotherhood? is there an example of a popular anime overseas that isn't popular in japan?

  24. Missing(s): Three Little Ghosts, Grimm's Fairy Tales Classics, Samurai Pizza Cats, Sherlock Hound, Zorro,

  25. I love the Dragon Ball franchise (DB, DBZ, DBS)!

  26. Shinchan all time favorite

  27. Doraemon is has different spot in our Heart ❤

  28. Sailor Moon was the first anime I've ever watched. But I watched the English dubbed version, where her name is Serena and the OST was different from the Japanese version. ~Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight. Never running from a real fight, she is the one named Sailor Moon.~

  29. Shinchan was my childhood,even though I'm Indian……

  30. Dragonball just started airing in Animax japan

    Dragon ball Z is airing weekly in Tokyo MX, Dragon ball GT on Saturdays in BS Fuji.And Now Daima returning in Fuji TV ❤

  31. Some impactful animes that didn't make on the list
    1. Pokemon
    2. Astroboy
    3. Hunter X Hunter
    4. Mobile Suit Gundam
    5. Yu-Gi-Oh!

  32. shinchan also incredibly popular in korea.. well the whole list really but still

  33. What about the Following (that are my favorites):
    Love Live for best music Japan has to offer
    Symphogear for blending magical girls with Super Sentai
    Sword Art Online for all they got in series, games, and music
    GRIDMAN Universe series
