10-Saint Seiya:
Saint Seiya animated series was very big in the early 90`s like I said in one of my previous post , Masami Kurumada surpassed himself to produce such fantastic manga,I highly recommend you to watch the original animated series.It`s the very first anime I ever watched and I am still hooked today.
09-Naruto:
No need to introduce this manga, we all heard of naruto sasuke and kakashi. I`m not a naruto fan but Neiji is my favourite character(all my fav characters always end up dead) and I really loved the fights against akatsuki, sasori is one of my favourite akatsuki member.The follow up to shippuden will start in spring 2015 and I wonder what Kishimoto sensei will call it.
08-Hokuto No Ken:
Also known as the fist of the north star, It`s a manga written by Buronson and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara, another 90`s popular anime. It`s a martial art manga with a lots of violence and gore.
07-Koshikame:
Never heard of this one, must be one of those manga that never made it to Europe.
06-Captain Tsubasa:
This is another childhood memory, I never read the manga but it was called Olive and Tom, a very popular anime back then, we have Inazuma eleven now.captain tsubasa was our football anime reference back then.Perfect for sports anime fans.
05-Jojo`s Bizzare Adventure:
I`m sure we all heard of the Joestars family, the story spans around several generation of Joestars.It`s a fantastic manga, the plot and characters are different for each generation. I recommend you to read the manga, the animated series is a joke compared to the manga.
04-Slam Dunk:
If you are an anime fan and you never heard of slam dunk, shame on you. Ashita no Joe and slam dunk are a reference of sports manga.The manga was written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue, the author of Vagabond which is a fantastic historical manga based on Miyamoto Musashi one of Japan best samurai.I am a big fan of Inoue sensei work, I hope they will be a vagabond anime soon.
03-Gintama:
I`m going to be honest here, I didn`t see this coming.Gintama better than naruto or bleach?I watched this anime three times and I could never make it past 20 episodes,I guess Japanese humour is not for me.
02-One Piece:
No surprise here, one piece is the best selling manga in Japan and has been at the top for many years, the only manga to ever knock it off the first spot is attack on titan and I wonder if that will happen again.
01-Dragon Ball:
No words are great enough to discribe this master piece!
These manga are considered Shonen Jump best manga ever, I think anyone who started watching anime in the 90`s will agree with some Japanese fans. Saint Seiya or Hokuto no ken paved the way for what I consider the best manga of all time: Dragon Ball.
Please leave a comment if you agree or disagree with this list. I will continue my Anime: Top 5 series in my next post.
