i dont think there is any 1 that fits all. and thats lovely
i especially dont want people who dont like a specific genre to just watch it and then give it bad reviews.
For example people who hate a slice of life anime for being a slice of life anime with no action or drama. if you want action look for action

so theres not any one that i think everybody should watch
however there are some in each genre that i think all those who enjoy a particular genre should watch

Natsume Yuujinchou. It's one of my favorites and I think everyone can find an episode that will touch their heart.

I can't think of any Anime that everyone should watch because of different tastes.
It's always hard to say because not everybody with like the same things.

I actually have to agree with you. Natsume Yuujinchou is not an Anime for everybody but still something people should try out. It's pretty likeable.
I think I really never saw a person who actually dislikes it.


I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate.

Soredemo sekai wa utsukushii.

It's so underrated and most people haven't heard of it.

It needs a chance.

If you call yourself an anime fan, then the answer is clear.

Shirobako provides information about the process of making anime and the staff's responsibility in their respective department to complete on what they consider a "quality" product. It's fine not to like the show though.

Pretty much nothing because people are too different for universal recs, but if I'd have to pick something it'd probably be a Ghibli Movie like Spirited Away.

If everyone in the community was forced to watch Bebop it's score would go down to the 6.xx levels if not more. Yes, it's my favorite show of all time but most people will not enjoy it simply because it's episodic so it's a bad choice for an universal rec imo.

Wouldn't that be the same for other things. That is why MAL isn't reliable in the first place xD If everyone watch a particular show, it wouldn't be the same anymore. I mean, imagine an ecchi fan who solely watch ecchi, keep in mind maybe the quantity of those fans outweigh the other side, watch Texhnolyze, Serial Experiments Lain and NGE. Imagine that.

Yeah it would, which is why universal recs are bad ideas from the start. I picked Spirited Away because that was about the least niche kind of anime I could come up with, but there's still plenty of Miyazaki haters out there who relgiously follow memes so even that is far from a perfect universal rec. Because there are none.
I probably regret this post by now.

It's kinda the opposite of star wars tho? No magic, no fantasy aspects, laser swords or other overly silly technology, no alien races, no fancy alien settings. It's got more in common with something like Three Kingdoms or any other human vs human politics-based story.
I probably regret this post by now.
