Pretty nice list. I has some of my favorite ones that not many name:

The Story of Saiunkoku

Petshop of Horrors

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Moribito

Cooking Master Boy

Best of all time? I will try balance enjoyment and quality. My favorite anime list would be a bit different.

Anime:

Laputa (hard to just name one Ghibli movie, maybe Mononoke Hime and Sen to Chihiro are better, but I like this movie more)

Paprika

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Cowboy Bebop

Gunbuster

Mushishi

Monogatari series

Monster

Kino no Tabi

Ghost in the Shell SAC

Manga suffers less with inconsistencies which lot of animes are plagued with.

Manga:

Dragon Ball

Vagabond

Berserk

Yotsuba&

Uzumaki

Mushishi

Glass no Kamen

20th Century Boys

Otoyomegatari

Akira

I could list top 100 pretty easily.

Bewbs. Any size, any shape. Men boobies, women boobies. They are all fine pieces of human anatomy!

If they have the means, sure international popularity is better at this moment. However, not many companies can diverge their focus and resources on international markets. Investing in the domestic reach is more attainable. I guess a strong focus on social media could help on both markets. Still I don't see much knowhow for that yet.

Under normal circumstances I'd say no, but SM at the time was being bombarded by scandals. I'd say their concept could benefit more from less noise and more time. The whole plagiarism thing didn't help the concept too. The song was decent enough for me.

The girls themselves did pretty well under this pressure.

I think it's fine as long people know it's just for funsies. Like anything, there is always a line that shouldn't be crossed when things stop being just for fun and become serious or an obsession. It's just happens that in shipping culture crossing that line is super easy.

Personally when I was younger, I never understood shipping and thought it was cringey. However, I kinda get the fun of it now. I still don't get hardcore shippers thou.

I'm trying out retro.

She doesn't need my forgiveness per se. People deserve second chances on bad behavior that aren't criminal. I didn't follow her solo activities that closely anyway, so how I behave toward her won't change regardless.

The group shouldn't suffer because of one individual.

If BP didn't exist, some other group could have capitalized on this concept instead. Not sure if at the same level of success to influence others, but in this what if, it would just mean YG would have another group with a different concept.

Maybe instead of continuing on their style of music, for some reason, he decided to follow the crowd and have his own bubblegum pop group instead of BP concept. In this case, we probably won't see as much unless some other group reaches similar level of success with this concept which isn't a guarantee. Current line up of groups and their concepts would be different.

It makes sense for a producer's POV. A producer can't work on that many songs and keep the quality. I can't disagree with this.

However, it's not necessarily true for a group. A group can work with multiple producers and keep the quality. I'd say there is a happy middle ground.

Too slow of releases is usually missed opportunities. Too many will have diminishing returns.

Tzuyu, Sana, and Nayeon.

Dunno if they are the best per se, but these I liked very much:

Dorohedoro

Jujutsu Kaisen

Eizouken

Not a cereal person. I would have cereal and then add milk. It seems more practical this way.

She is very close to the ideal look for lot of Koreans in general, but not my cup of tea. I'd prefer Tzuyu or Jennie over her.

Being realistic, gg life cycle is pretty short, so if they renew for a couple of years more, it would be great.

Kinda so so. It's not like the old forum was great per se in terms of layout or functionality.
