That's a real complete list. Didn't EVA come out before Key (the metal idol). I really want to see both of the before stated series. Though you only mentioned 8 we'll let it slip through the cracks. :mrgreen: Heh heh just kidding. So Dendoh's pretty fun? I'll have to check it out. Do you need to know all about Tenchi to watch Magical Project S? :mrgreen:
Evangelion was first aired October 4, 1995, and lasted until 1996. Key debuted in 1994, I believe. Evangelion's also hardly an original series. While it did have a huge impact on the anime world, it's really overrated in many ways, in that many series before it did the same things far better (examples would be notably G Gundam and Key, among other super robot shows of the early 70s and 80s).
Dendoh's a great anime, it's a flashback to super robot goodness and references everything from Superman and Braniac to Combattler V, Voltres V, G Gundam, and Star Wars. It's not a parody reference, however; more like a homage.
And Tenchi knowledge is not required for Magical Project S because MPS was a specific alt-cont that had absolutely nothing to do with Tenchi. The only recurring characters are Sasami, Ryo-Ohki, and Tsunami, and they all have nothing to do with their Tenchi incarnations.
