Time for Japan. There was a lot of anime in this, I removed the ones I deemed to have too much precursory knowledge needed to watch (i.e. Attack on Titan, One Piece, Gundam, etc.), and would have removed more if not for them being in the Official Top Narrative lists (i.e. Evangelion and Kizumonogatari).

As with the others, no documentaries and no shorts (< 40 mins). Cutoff of 2000 ratings.
