The List - 7 Eras of Japanese History via Anime

I have to give a little shoutout for Oh! Edo Rocket, listed as an alternate for the Edo period. This is a zany and often hilarious sci-fi story set right after the institution of the Tenpou Reforms which banned public entertainments. The anime was adapted by Mizushima Seiji and Madhouse from a stage play by Nakashima Kazuki, the screenwriter for Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann.

The Arceus movie in last place? Shame, I think it's the last good Pokemon movie, and the best one of Gen IV.

For the previous poll, I only saw the first two movies, but the first I can still remember the general plot, while I can't remember anything about the plot of second movie other than a Slowking. Plus the first movie has Mew, so that one would have gotten my vote. The second movie did have some good music though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S--8tGsJtC8

Most pokemon movies have a guy saying 'I will take over the world', but Darkrai instead has 'people will die if we don't stop this'. Not really an evil guy in that movie, thankfully.

Still at least we can all agree that the worst generation movie-wise was gen 5.

The Best Wishes films were certainly weaker than the previous ones and I was fairly unimpressed by the Diancie film as well. Hopefully Hoopa will be better? I don't have high hopes for it though.

However I'm more surprised that the warren states era from inuyasha isnt even on this list. talk about EPIC FAIL!

"Warring states" is just another name for the Sengoku era, which is on the list.

...(Otogi Zoshi)...The anime's setting and characters is mix of the medieval novels that it takes its name from;

　御伽草子の名義は、普通、狹義には文正草子・鉢かづき以下二十三篇の各同體裁繪入橫板本の叢書――一名御伽文庫とも稱せられてゐる。――乃至その各篇に與へられてゐるが、更に廣義にはこれに准ずる同類の作品にまで擴大して、それらの汎稱としても用ゐられる。卽ち主として室町時代から江戶時代初世へかけて行はれた通俗短篇小說の一群が包括される便宜的な稱呼で、その名の示す如く、――但し何時頃稱呼が用ゐ初められたか詳らかでない。――婦幼童蒙の讀み物であり慰めであり同時に敎へでもあつた。

以上、御伽草子の概略を述べたが、なおその特色に就いて二三付記しておきたいと思う。まず鎌倉時代までの物語と比べて相違しているところはこれらが短篇だということである。

広義の御伽草子は、大体三、四十ページの短篇で、制作年時は明らかでない。

【御伽草子】　室町期の小説23篇を享保（1716～1723）の頃あつめて叢刊した折に冠せられた称呼が、そのまま室町期の通俗的短篇小説の総称になった。

What I find difficult to understand is why someone who is clearly fluent in Japanese and English would not translate their quoted sources for an English language forum.

What about us, the readers?

Lynzee Lamb has insisted that Crystalyn Hodgkins and Egan Loo are fluent in Japanese. She has also said that JLPT N2 is the bare minimum.
The Japanese texts would be sufficient for Anime News Network staffers, if they were actually fluent in Japanese. ｗ
