Cory Neo Budokan was Hayao Miyazaki's greatest work which he created with Walt Disney who had a great interest in Japanese culture. Walt and Miyazaki wanted to create an anime unlike any other with life like animation and a story unparalleled by anything which came before or after. The two later released the show under the names Marc Warren and Dennis Rinsler in fear that the two would receive backlash from a public which didn't understand their grand vision. But we did and now Cory Neo Budokan (or Cory in the House if you watch the also amazing English dub) is now regarded as being the greatest work of fiction ever made.
The show is about Cory Baxter moving into the white house with his father Victor Baxter. At the start of the show they say it is because Victor is the new official head chef, but even from this moment we see Miyazaki hinting that the twist in the "eternal summer" story arc where it is revealed that Cory is fulfilling of an ancient prophecy which says he will defeat Adolf Stalin Bin Laden who is later revealed to be the Stand of his greatest enemy, Jason Stickler.
The show's story is without a doubt the greatest story ever written with every episode playing an important part to the plot. Even episodes which seem like filler such as "Guitar of destiny! Cory gets his grove on!" later play a big role in the "Battle of the bands" arc where Newt uses the guitar to summon Apollo, the Greek god of music, to be a part of their band, DC3 (now renamed to DCG4).
The show also has some of the best fight scene ever animated which invoke all of the character's emotions like the incredible final fight between Cory and Jason which can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OA-mYnw3Hc. In this scene we see the conclusion of 12 seasons of build up and it pays off in epic fashion.
The show isn't without it's emotional moments either. Like the final episode when Cory must sacrifice himself to stop his sister Raven (from the prequel series "Suvo Raven Shippuden" or depending on your dub "Thats So Raven") from unleashing her physic nova to bring upon the end of democracy by destroying the capital. The animation, music (which can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hFxjeVIHnk) and voice acting all come together to create one of if not the greatest scene in all of entertainment history.
Overall. Cory in the House is the most perfect anime ever made and if you disagree then I will personally fight you over the internet.
score 10/10
