Franchise Master-List

A Master-List of notable Anime franchises, with English and Romanized names. Alphabetized by English name. Feel free to recommend, especially for older series that have impacted audiences and paved the way for the many series we have today.

This includes video games that have had at least ONE anime in relation, whether it be a movie spin-off, a TV series, a special prequel, or whatever else.

This DOES NOT include any "Western Anime", so the following: Wakfu, RWBY, Avatar, Teen Titans, etc. will not be counted in the long run.

And, without further ado, our list. (Please note that articles ["The", "A", and "An"] are excluded during the alphabetization.)
