I own it, the music CDs, etc. and I think its a great *idea* but it did have some serious flaws. OTOH, it opened a string of KEY epic romance anime features.
I have a personal list of what I consider "masterpieces". Some of them have huge flaws but they were trying to do something out of the ordinary/average or the fire-and-forget mediocre. Don't see any point in typing them out, though because "masterpiece" is something reached by consensus over long discussions by people who really study the topic.

Have only been a 'hardcore' anime watcher after the dawn of the digital age (aka. 2000+), so I can't really talk about any other period because the only one that really stuck to me would be Touch. XD
But wow, True Tears mentioned? Didn't it bomb in Japan? Logical side likes that Dennou Coil, Planetes, Air, Honey and Clover are mentioned, while Shippy side in me is glad stuff like TTGL and AnoHana made the list... ...but the most IMO underrated of the list? Tatami Galaxy aka. Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei. Even I got turned off initially, and only got convinced by my friends to continue on. And holy shit did the show leave a lasting impression on me, to the point where I still think its the best show the Noitamina show has ever produced. (And yes, even over AnoHana despite my shipping tendencies )

It's not that people think that Air is "bad". It's that some of us (including myself) find it weird for Air to be there but not Clannad. Air's a good show, but I think most would rate Clannad higher.
From what I've read from Key/KyoAni fans, Clannad is widely considered the best of the three Key/KyoAni properties. And when I've read people differ with that opinion, it's generally to put Kanon first, not Air. If neither Clannad, Kanon, or Air was there, you could just chalk it up to the people behind this list not liking Key works. But Air making it when Clannad doesn't is just odd to me. It's like having three extremely similar retired pro baseball players that played in the same era, and the one widely considered the best of the three doesn't make the Hall of Fame, while one of the other two does.

I don't find the list bad at all. There are some curious exclusions, for example I would think that Dragonball Z would place there if Bleach made the list, but overall it's a pretty good highlight of the decades in so far as how the industry has changed over the years and what has been notable.
It is clearly not a "best of", or even a "most influential" list, but it does a decent job of picking 50 shows. Also, remember that 2000+ saw a huge expansion of the industry, and you could easily pick 50 great shows just from that. Plus, tastes differ from East to West, and unless you've grown up in Japan you're probably not going to be as influenced by anime culturally. For a lot of us Westerners, our first real tastes of anime didn't happen until the 90's and 2k's, with a few notable standouts from the 70's and 80's that many of probably didn't even know were anime or related to Japan until we were older. And even then, most of us don't live in a culture where those things are so predominant. For example, Doraemon.

The standout missing titles for me would probably be Azumanga and Bakemonogatari (though not necessarily over K-On as some suggest because my experience with Japanese exchange students who show up to my anime club is that both titles are exceptionally well known).

here are more "curiously missing" series
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetsujin_28-go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Knight <<< Probably most serious of all omission in my opinion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical...ess_Minky_Momo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barefoot_Gen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Neighbor_Totoro <- along with Nausicaa and Laputa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megazone_23 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimagure_Orange_Road

Air being there is defensible in and of itself, but having Air there but not Clannad really does seem indefensible to me. Quote:
I agree with you on Azumanga and Bake being similarly high up there amongst standout missing titles.

It'd be really great if someone could give a rough translation of the article because it seems to explain what this list is and some of the choices behind it.
