The most important anime series of all time would have to be Dragon Ball Z. I am not saying this because I am a fan (I have only seen a handfull of episodes), but I am saying this because of the influence it had in the U.S market as well as Japan. It spawned a media blitz and a marchendising machine and had pulled in millions upon million of viewers on a weekly basis in the U.S and I am sure had millions of viewers in Japan. As far as importance storywise or creative wise, I am unsure, but as far as world wide presence, it has to be DBZ. Second nod would be to Pokemon, which could be considered number one to a certain extent.
Neither of the series I mentioned are anywhere near my favorites, so I am showing no bias toward any series.
