This weekend, ANN had posted its top list feature "Ace Pilot You'd Want In a Dogfight", and Space Battleship Yamato's Susumu Kodai (or in other words, Star Blazers' Derek Wildstar) got included in the list. However, the legendary sci-fi anime character himself was ranked at no. 5, and outranked by Neon Genesis Evangelion's Asuka Langley Soryu (ranked at no. 4), Super Dimension Fortress Macross' Hikaru Ichijo (ranked at no. 3), Porco Rosso's Marco Pagot (ranked at no. 2), and Mobile Suit Gundam's Char Aznable (ranked at no. 1). At least the oldschool anime heroes are getting the top glory this time.
