What anime is peak Japan to you? The show that when someone asks "What is Japanese animation?" you think of that show.

Sure there are a lot great shows out there and classics, but other countries have similar movies and shows. But what animation to you is so uniquely Japanese, only Japan could have made it?

To me that show is Keijo. It is so absurd only the Japanese could have made it. My second pick was Mushishi but plenty of countries have media about folklore and spirits.

What is your pick for the most Japan show?

Call me a pleb and entry level for al I care: it's either Gurren Lagann oder Code Geass.

Gurren Lagann is a good pick. Mecha in general is pretty unique to Japan. Gurren Lagann stands out from the pack in creativity and strangeness.

Call me based and redpilled because One Piece is one of the greatest anime of last 20 years and Hunter x Hunter is a mediocre boring shit for people who try to seem smart

Gintama

One piece is pretty generic. Its pretty much just X-men with boats.

A show that focuses on ass is the last thing I would expect out of Japan though.

It's Dragonball with boats, plebian.

Sarazanmai is probably the most Japanese show that is currently airing.

>Code Geass
>Is a shitty knock-off of Preacher

GuP. I cannot imagine anywhere else even thinking of turning tank warfare into a school sport, and actually greenlighting it into a franchise.

Pretty much anything CGDCT
Does it even exist in other mediums?

Uppotte.

Nothing screams Japan like turning guns into fuckable girls.

how the fuck is it dragon ball with boats you absolute troglodyte?

Each person in One Piece has a unique power that gives them strange abilities. How the fuck is that anything like dragonball?

You are literally retarded

Its the Panty Vending Machine of anime. Strange Japan at its finest

>Gurren Lagaan
my knigga

Spirited Away was pretty much what introduced most of the west to anime. So my vote would be what does the average person think when they here anime its probably a Ghible film.

Spirited away being the most well known here in the west.

Milky Holmes S2 for me.

Yeah, after Keijo I was like 'where does anime even go from here?'

When you think about it there's a lot of stuff that's more uniquely Japanese though

I think something like Keijo could have been made in the US as a goofy teen sex comedy B-movie or something, the US would never make something like that racehorse girl anime though

Gunbuster

Giant robots, schoolgirls in various states of dress, hot blood, overly dramatic coaching figures, teenage love, titties, alien battles in space, and kamikaze sacrifices. The only way it could be more Japanese is if the Buster Machine pulled out a katana and sliced Jupiter in half.

Clearly Comic Girls. It may not have been the first or last cgct show, but for me it was the midmark separating the past and future of cgct.

Its true if you say the phrase school girl underwear vending machine, almost everyone thinks of Japan

Golden Girls.

Non Non Biyori

Berserk 2016/2017 because only japan could make such a shit show using terrible cg in an actual production

Anyone who says anything other than Gintama is wrong

There's barely any animation, so no.

>keijo scalations will never be finished
It's so close to the end too.
