 <html>The fact that so many books still name Boku no Pico as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” anime ever only tells you how far anime still is from becoming a serious art. Cartoon critics have long recognized that the greatest cartoon of all time is Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, which was not the most famous or richest or best seller of its time, let alone of all times. Web animation critics rank the highly controversial MLB2 over classical animators who were highly popular in courts around YouTube. Anime critics are still blinded by commercial success. Boku no Pico sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore it must have been the greatest. Cartoon critics grew up watching a lot of cartoons of the past, web animation critics grow up watching a lot of web animations of the past. Anime critics are often totally ignorant of anime of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Boku did anything worthy of being saved.</html>
