That top-ten list reads like an anime "Who's Who
of 1985" -- I saw most of that stuff in college.  :P

I'd say my list would have to go something like this:
Slayers
Trigun
Outlaw Star
Generator Gawl
Bakuretsu Hunters
Magic Knights Rayearth
Card Captor Sakura
Bastard!
Photon
Irresponsible Captain Tylor

And if I could include US-unreleased shows, that
list would be topped by Full Metal Panic and
Rah-Xephon.

Mmmmmmmmmm... Rah-Xephon...
