Actually- the series began publication in 1999. There was a minor one-shot that introduced the themes of the franchise in '97, but like One Piece's "Romance Dawn" it's not part of the series. The anime first aired in it's native country in 2002. Didn't start until 2005 in America. So unless you're a japanesse citizen, it doesn't fit the criteria for "nostaglic" as set forth by this tournament. It doesn't really seem to get the point of the tournament. Also- Las, at the top it says cartoons from the 80's and 90s- is that just an example, or do they HAVE to be in a cartoon/animated series? (Before I make up my own team.)
