The Japanese Media Arts Festival polled 80,000 Japanese fans and the result is these lists:
1. Slam Dunk (Manga)
2. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)
3. Dragon Ball (Manga)
4. Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga)
5. Doraemon (Manga)
6. Phoenix (Manga)
7. Black Jack (Manga)
8. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Manga)
9. Mushishi (Manga)
10. Death Note (Manga)
1. Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV)
2. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Movie)
3. Laputa - Castle in the Sky (Movie)
4. Mobile Suit Gundam (TV)
5. Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (movie)
6. Mushishi (TV)
7. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (TV)
8. My Neighbor Totoro (Movie)
9. Full Metal Alchemist (TV)
10. Ghost in the Shell (Movie)
These are interesting lists, I think. While some are obviously current fan favorites, there's a lot of just plain quality titles here. Evangelion is still fresh enough in people's minds to claim the number one spot, and people still love the original Dragon Ball manga. Osamu Tezuka and Hayao Miyazaki deservedly take up a number of slots each. The thing that heartens me the most is the presence of Nausicaa on both lists, and I suspect that Evangelion will tend to decline in popularity as time passes away from its shocking debut(and as its sharp edges continue to be smoothed over by imitator shows like Rahxephon), while Nausicaa has proven its longevity.

Nausicaä hasn't dropped from the "top ten favorite characters" polls ONCE since her movie came out.
All hail our kickass benevolent empress!

Who exactly said Doraemon?
I haven't seen him in anything since the IHOP knockoff.

Agreed. Japanese people can be extremely weird sometimes. I mean, Doraemon????? What the hell?

Do you want fries with that? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!
The Insanity of Sasuke Uchiha
The No-Life King was both shocked and enraged when he eventually made his way outside and found Seras sparkling in the sunlight. “Police Girl, what do you think you're doing?!” Alucard bellowed, causing Seras to emit a surprised 'gasp'. “Stop that this instant!”
“Oh... M-Master, I-I was just... just...”
“You were sparkling!!!” Alucard shouted.

Hmm. I guess our analog would go: 'I like my real-life like my eroge heroines: flat and two-dimensional.'

What's wrong with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure? My only experience with the series was with the Dreamcast fighting game and it didn't look bad. Originally Posted by OverMaster

Honestly, I loved the first Jojo's struggle against Dio, culminating in their awesome final meeting. I'm less fond of his successors, though they all had their moments as well. Originally Posted by Young Avenger
