It's December, and you guys know what that means-- everyone in the world is going to offer up their lists of the top anime of 2009. Amazon's got its list up already, written by "contributor" Charles Solomon (and an animation expert; he's written several books, including Enchanted Drawings: The History of Animation). At the top of his list? Akira's Blu-Ray release from Bandai Entertainment. Here's the full list:
- Akira (Blu-Ray)
- Big Windup Part 1 (Our review here)
- Bleach Uncut Box Set 3: The Rescue
- Case Closed: Season Five Set
- Dragon Ball: Season One
- Evangelion 1.01: You Are (Not) Alone
- Naruto Shippuden Vol. 1
- Sword of the Stranger (Our review here)
- Death Note Vol. 9























Conan, always a solid choice.
Death Note, I never watched after finishing the manga (in Japanese, which may have been the most exhausting undertaking I've ever done. The thing is like giant blocks of text)
The rest aren't too surprising, but not really my thing. I'm actually surprised Naruto wasn't higher, with the fanbase it seems to have in the states.
