[Pak-Man]

I think I highlighted all the ones that made it. TMNT is only on there for one character because I thought she was sexy even then.

Irma?

[Tripe]

That's the one.

[Johnny Unusual]

She was Mayim Bailik of her day.

[Tripe]

Ick, way to insult a fantastically sexy character. Sod Blossom.

Pretty great list. The Simpsons made my list because it's my favorite animated show of all time -- I know the bulk of it occurred in the 90s, but the genesis was the 80s, thus the showing. I'm amazed that like 21 of my 25 made it! Anyhoo, my list:

1.   The Simpsons
2.   The Last Unicorn
3.   Akira
4.   The Secret of Nimh
5.   The Little Mermaid
6.   Duck Tales
7.   Danger Mouse
8.   M.A.S.K.
9.   Inspector Gadget
10.    Garfield and Friends
11.    The New Scooby Doo Mysteries
12.    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
13.    Spiderman and his Amazing Friends
14.    He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
15.    The Land Before Time
16.    The Great Mouse Detective
17.    Captain Caveman
18.    The Fox and the Hound
19.    Captain N: The Game Master
20.    Muppet Babies
21.    Transformers
22.    An American Tale
23.    The Black Cauldron
24.    Mr. T (I PITY THE FOOL WHO DIDN'T PUT THIS ON THEIR LISTS! MOST OF Y'ALL IS FOOLS!)

25.    G.I. Joe

[Charles Castle]

1. Grave of the Fireflies
2. The Simpsons
3. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
4. The Castle of Cagliostro - Well, it seems as though this was released in December of 1979, so it was a wasted vote for me. Great movie, though.
5. Kiki's Delivery Service
6. Whisper of the Heart
7. The Plague Dogs
8. Wicked City
9. Muppet Babies
10. Heavy Metal
11. Vampire Hunter D
12. The Flight of Dragons
13. Gandahar (aka Light Years)
14. My Neighbor Totoro
15. Mickey's Christmas Carol
16. Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!)
17. The Great Mouse Detective
18. Akira
19. Dungeons & Dragons
20. Time Masters
21. Bubblegum Crisis
22. Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland
23. Castle in The Sky
24. The Fox and The Hound
25. Starchaser: The Legend of Orin

I guess I approached the list from a not so sentimental standpoint, which eliminated most shows. Having said that, I am shocked Mickey's Christmas Carol, one of my few sentimental picks (though I still think it holds up pretty well) did not make it (unless I missed it, in which case I am not shocked at all).

[Johnny Unusual]

Poll is up for the next list.  Apparently, whatever you pick, I'm hosting.

Oh and here's the one I completely forgot about but should have included:

Loved this stupid show when I was littleish.

First off, I have to say again, thank you so much for taking over this list for me Quantum Vagina. I owe you one. My contractor has finally started work on fixing the massive water damage to my house. Unsurprisingly, the insurance company put off accepting my claim for as long as humanly possible.

Anyway, here's my list. I stuck to TV series, as that was what I originally intended.

1 Galaxy Rangers
2 The Gummi Bears
3 Real Ghostbusters
4 Dungeons & Dragons
5 The Smurfs
6 TMNT
7 The Mighty Orbots
8 Bionic Six
9 Transformers
10 Legend of the Galactic Heroes
11 Pole Posistion
12 Maison Ikkoku
13 Duck Tales
14 Inspector Gadget
15 Muppet Babies
16 MASK
17 Thundercats
18 Fat Albert
19 Voltron
20 SilverHawks
21 Captain N: The Game Master
22 The Wuzzles
23 Robotech
24 Tale Spin
25 GI Joe

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is almost certainly the most epic thing ever put to animation. It's based on a series of Japanese novels (not graphic novels, actual books), that encompasses an absurd number of characters. The sheer scope of this series is just incredible. It's not available in English, but there are fansubs of the entire series.
