Well, I think that's very very likely to be the case for most people, but I'll always remember Jubei Kibagami, Tetsuo Shima, Shotaro Kineda, Devilman, and D (Vampire Hunter D), from my childhood/early teens. They're as recognizable to me as Mario. But, yeah, I'm certainly not representative of the majority, I'd say. |
I feel the same way dude. But the problem is this is the western world, and characters that appeal more to the west are of course going to be more recongizable. I was certain more people were going to get R.O.B and Rosalina, but no, they just guess Disney characters. :/

Well, the serious hayday of Anime (in my opinion) was the 80's/90's (Devilman Mange/Anime is way older, but the movie was from the 80's), when the movies I mentioned came out. Current anime (at least, from my American perspective), just isn't that brutal anymore. Granted, I'm not emersed in Japanese culture either, so I'm sure there's a ton of good stuff I'm simply not aware of (Attack on Titan is pretty badass). But, those ones were obsessed favorites among me and my friends.
