Disney XD has always had a weird relationship with anime. It was quite a shock way back in 2009 when they announced they were going to air Naruto: Shippuden. To be fair, they did give the show a chance, allowing it to be the only TV-PG show on the network...however, it was simply getting to be too violent for their image, no matter how many edits they made.
Remember when they aired the Lilo and Stitch anime? I do. Four episodes. That's all we got, at a graveyard weekday morning timeslot. (Five were scheduled, but the last was replaced by a rerun of Phineas and Ferb! Enough people watch that c...that's a rant for another time.)
More recently, Doraemon and Yokai Watch have aired to moderate success, opening new doors for Disney XD and anime. Here are my top 10 picks for anime Disney XD should give a shot.
