10. Sailor Moon: First, we can't help but mention this wonderful series, a huge hit in the '90s. Even though it's more geared toward women, it still captivated many men. It's definitely a unique series that will remain in the hearts of everyone who's seen it.
09. Pokémon: Now, here we also have another great classic that was a worldwide hit. We even had this incredible series on Brazilian broadcast television, where it was certainly one of the driving forces behind otaku fans here. It's also worth noting that Pokémon is still a hit today, especially with its huge and varied game franchise.

7. Neon Genesis Evangelion: And who doesn't remember this acclaimed work for its psychological themes? In fact, four feature-length films were made for this series, the latest of which was recently released. This just goes to show how surreal Evangelion is, whether it's dealing with sensitive themes like depression or even the frenetic robot battles!
6. Berserk: Here we have one of the best mangas available today. Unfortunately, the author of this work recently passed away, leaving Berserk's future uncertain. Regardless, whether it's the manga or the anime, it's certainly a success and has created a legion of fans with its surreal story.

03. Great Teacher Onizuka
Here in the top 3, we have the best teacher of all! Onizuka gives us many insights in comical and indirect ways. So, even with a simple plot and seemingly childish, it's undoubtedly one of the best anime ever made. By the way, the manga is worth highlighting, which is simply perfect!
