There's at least a two year gap between Naruto and every other anime on the top ten list and Naruto just came out! The only most recent anime to Naruto on the list is Full Metal Alchemist. I like this list because it has nothing to do with reviews witch means it wont be tempered with fanboys who think Naruto is number one and give it straight tens, and the other freekin fanboys who think it is the worst because it's just a COPY of DBZ. This list is just based on the amount of people who put it on there top ten favorite anime, and it's just totally shocking to me, because I can't think of a single anime that has had as much fanbase before coming out here except for Naruto. Even before it came out in the US, it still had a place on the top ten list. Sorry guys... OS has lost, have a good day!

Quick question. Are all of these animes still running in the U.S. On a channel or not? If not, then you have no basis. If so, then I'll accept it as a well wanted anime. Remember not everyone has them on DVD's and watches them according to what shows are shown on T.V.

Wow, have I offended someone!

BEFORE IT CAME OUT, IT WAS ON THE TOP SIX(unsure if it made it to 5 by then). This whole thing about still running has nothing to do with anything. Outlaw Star, Gundam Wing any many shows have ran on TV way longer than Naruto has, and I'm basing the ratings based mainly on the fansubs. Like I said it JUST CAME OUT. It has pretty much shit pushed every other anime into submission. And just before a month of it being on American TV it already pushed it's way from 6th place to 4th place. Talk about total rapage. Have a nice day!! ^.^

Actually i wasn't offended, not sure where you came up with that. o_o

As well the fact that people like it alot does seal whether it's a better anime. I'm not saying Naruto isn't bad, in fact I never did. The problem I have with a show like naruto coming to america is the same reason DB and DBZ began to suck so much after it came to america. America turned it into a kiddy fest ruining any decency the anime had.

I am sure Naruto will stand at the top (Considering it has plenty of episodes to keep all the wonderful fan boys at bay until new ones come along).

This thread was not to debate naruto on how bad it was. (Again I never stated is was a horrible anime). I only wish to see Outlaw Star come back and get Naruto off the air before it turns into another DBZ. I have seen Naruto (Wasn't that thrilled even with the plot line and good fight scenes). It just didn't sit well, guess it's my taste in anime.

Kind of interesting to see Cowboy Bebop hangin at the top. It is nice to see it there, even with the shortness in the series itself.

I do wish they would of put Gundam Wing lower, that anime should be burned ~_~

Oh I see where your coming from. I just don't see putting DBZ and Naruto in the same sentence unless your mentioning how completely different they are. I've seen just about all of DBZ and I mainly liked it for it's action and goofyness. Naruto from the beginning I found the story to be a big part in me liking it.. and it feels a lot of times later episodes link to things that went on in earlier episodes. I'm not afraid of it becoming another DBZ, people just seem to say that because the creator was somewhat influenced off of DBZ, so it's popularity and the fact the creator was fond of DBZ makes me think a lot of people try to link it to being another DBZ witch in my eyes it sure as hell not... well at least not until they start flying around in Naruto. hehehe...
