Nothing drives people more crazy than someone publishing a Top 10 List. It doesn't matter what it is about or who wrote it, it will never match what you or I may think. So here I go, dropping my 2 cents into the mix with this - My Top 10 Cars in Anime (or Manga if you want since most cross over anyway). I also included race cars in with the regular cars.
I tried to get some responses for suggestions via Twitter, but only had 2. Kind of a let down as I was hoping to have others input their ideas for this list. One wasn't technically a car, but it did get an honorable mention (and you will see why). I could go into details on why I think each is how I presented it. It could be the anime, the drivers, the cars themselves and what they can do. It is a veritable smorgasbord of possibilities. I think however that is over the top and not needed. It is a list and nothing but a list of what I think are the best cars.
Take a few minutes for the list to soak in and then (and only then) see how well I did. I know I probably missed something, so please chime in :^D

This is an Honorable Mention as it isn't necessarily a car, but it was a great suggestion by @IGypsyWoman:
Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro
Did I miss the marks completely on this list or leave out an obvious car?
I know! Cat Bus is off the category cos it's not a car! Lolz... Among the top 10, I like Trueno AE86 from Initial D. For me, the command car from Patlabor is definitely the best design car.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know about Patlabor. I also didn't get to Dominion Tank Police which had there own cars. I guess I will not have to think up a Top 10 'Other' Vehicles list!
ReplyDeletes30 from Wangan midnight? :(
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent car - maybe change to top 11?
