By "controversial" I mean the one that has caused contradicting reactions among anime fans.Not for example,the one that the media labeled as violent,explicit,whatever.I think you get what I mean.Well,usually famous=controversial/overrated by association most of the time,but anyway...

please to all who voted vote again.I will know remember that edit does not work with polls..

It's UFO Robo Grendizer!!!

What's the controversy, you ask?

It's simple...why the spoons does Koji pilot the TFO & the Double Spacer instead of Mazinger Z!? (I mean, I like the TFO and the W-Spacer, but Mazinger Z is Mazinger Z!)

Using this definintion for Controversial, I'd say Eva. The last copule of episodes and the movies have been debated by alot of eva fans...(And are thought of in many different ways...)

while we're on the subject here is a very good analysis/essay on Neon Genesis Evangelion:

I'd have to say I agree with most of the points he makes...

For me personally, it's Maichingu Machiko Sensei. To think I watched something like that as a kid...

By your def., Eva hands down. The wheels fall off at the end and the multiple endings (TV/D+R/EoE) only complicate matters. The night my friends and I MSTed End of Eva while hammered was quite possibly the most entertaining night of my life.

Oh, and to CMike, that may be true (well, it's difficult for it not to be given its ridiculous longevity and maniacal fanbase) but I believe we're discussing something else. Needless to say I agree with you but have no desire to start that argument.

Eva by a landslide. Just track down some fans' interpretations of End of Eva and you can see why.

There's always controversy, hard to avoid stuff like Eva and all the popular ilk.

Perhaps more was created back in the days of the early forays into H anime, and I don't simply mean Cream Lemon, Lolicon Angel, Lemon Angel, and other products of the 80s. In the early 70s, there was the first animated film to recieve an X rating here, Osamu Tezuka's Cleopatra: Queen of Sex. Yep, it came out in America. Sparked a HUGE amount of controversy...not for being hard-core porn, but for NOT being hard-core porn. Very much backed in story...not a big hit with people interested in watching the hard-core Asian erotica that this seemed to have been labeled as.

Osamu Tezuka also worked on his own version of Arabian Nights in the 60s, which featured, among other things, crocodile sex and lesbian fun.

Let me add in another controversial anime, which isn't controversial due to explicit content or because it's ending is symbolic.

The Anime is Gundress, and it made some waves because when it hit Japanese theaters in an incomplete form (They even had to admit it, saying they ship the completed form to fans on Tape). Shirow did some design work for it, though I think he probably won't admit to it...(He did nothing else, and from most reviews the title stunk to high blazes...).

Maicchingu Machiko Sensei was an anime based off a comic started in 1980. It was about a beautiful teacher named Machiko (full name: My Machiko) who would be "molested" by elementary schoolkids (touch her breasts, flip her skirt among other pranks). She'd then spin around to her pose and say "Iya~n, maicchingu★" (Maittta + ing). Very controversial a the time, considering this was a kids' comic.

Gundress made waves? That title was really nothing special. I mean, when the creators admit they wanted to pattern it after a live-action movie you just know this thing was headed for disaster.

Evangelion, because of the same reasons as the rest. But let me add a thing: The last two chapters are an horrid crap, well fixed by "The End" and "Death and Rebirth".

How comes nobody mentioned Perfect Blue yet?
PB is THE anti-otaku anime, that shows where extreme otaku-behaviour can lead to.

Other than that it's (off course) EVA.

.... A teacher sorrounded by pervert students... That brigs back memories.

This thread is complicated for me.... DBZ is absourdely overrated, as people here have already pointed out.

I didn't bothered with Evangelion; as it looked extremely similar to a elder anime wich name I have already forgotten.

Lain seemed somewhat clear to me; unfortunatly I have only spocken about it with "close minded" people who can not make any kind of evaluation about the subject, thus I only end with my own opinion.

Lastly I'm so fucked up that many things seem normal to me.



... This post is here due to the patronage of "Clorfenamina de Maleato", Salbutamol & Ponche con Plutonio"

to me, it was also normal. it fit the scene perfectly

in the commentary, they said that caused quite a stir
a couple of people sent in complaints
at anime conventions, it got applause

.... i'm still waiting to see the End of Eva -_-

EDIT:
oh heheh you were referring to yourself
a similar line was said in Death & Rebirth
the same scene as in my tag. sad but sweet

Don't worry about them. People still debates about the end of FF7 or about Poison's sexuality. No matter how much you insist, the same stupid questions will be there.

Close minded fans are the worst thing you'll ever find. And there are lots of them everywhere.

Well, it only made waves because it premiered in an incomplete form. IIRC only 20-30% of the film was actually animated when it first showed, the rest was just storyboards...
