@sgn15:
how is doraemon revolutionary in any way???
Let me guess, you are one of the people that only watch random episode of Doraemon when you're little and never actually read the manga (just like people condemned Dragon Ball to dragged on the fight without even reading the manga)?
The manga was created in the late 60's, it's a Kodomo manga (children's manga), not Shounen (teenage/all age manga), not Seinen (young adults manga) and the manga has revolutionized that particular demographic at the time. The comedies in the manga are filled with moral lessons regarding values such as integrity, perseverance, courage, family and respect for elders commonly found in today's gag/slice of life manga and looking carefully, not only it influenced Kodomo demographic, some of the element and archetypes can also be found in every other demographic as well. Just like Miyazaki, the manga also has several noteworthy environmental issues, such as homeless animals, global warming, endangered species, deforestation, and pollution. Topics such as time traveling, dinosaurs, the flat earth theory, origin of species, wormhole traveling, theory of evolution, Gulliver's Travels, and the history of Japan are often covered especially if you read the long stories manga. Not that I meant Doraemon is a thought provoking manga ala Miyazaki and Tezuka but you rarely find those thing mentioned in children's manga during that day.
The character Doraemon was also hailed as an Asian Hero in the Time Magazine. Yes, Time (Asia) magazine, not a fashion magazine.

You can nitpick the manga made by the mangaka on the list with some flaws (plot, characterization etc) all you want but their work has revolutionized the manga industry at the time. I've also never get bored whenever I pick up the manga (Doraemon, Slamdunk, Dragon Ball, Nausicaa, GeGeGe no Kitaro, Tezuka and Urasawa's work) to re-read because for some reason, they always seems fresh and enjoyable to me.
