Cool Japan
In 2005, the Taiwan Society of New York selected "Doraemon" as a culturally significant work of Japanese otaku pop-culture in its exhibit "Little Boy: The Arts of Japan's Exploding Subculture", curated by renowned artist Takashi Murakami. A 2006 poll among 80,000 Japanese fans for the 10th anniversary of the Japan Media Arts Festival placed "Doraemon" at fifth among the top ten best manga of all time. The 2005 and 2006 surveys conducted by TV Asahi found the "Doraemon" anime ranked fifth and third, respectively, among the 100 most favorite anime series of all time. In 2010, a survey conducted by researchers of Tokyo Polytechnic University found that most responders considered "Doraemon", along with "Dragon Ball" franchise, to be the anime series that represents Cool Japan. In a 2013 survey, "Doraemon" was found to be the best anime recommended for foreign people. Mark Schilling noted that the "Take-Copter" is familiar among Japanese people "just as Snoopy's biplane is familiar to most Americans".
