| "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS!!!!?? KILL URSELF." Will probably be the battle cry of many contributors to this thread. :'D Is there a well-known show you haven't watched yet? Is there a reason? And do you plan to watch it in the future? I will go first. Older stuff Title: Serial Experiments Lain Why: I don't do well with disturbing imagery and I hear this has loads of it. Plan: Er.....maybe. After Made in Abyss, I feel a little tougher now. xD ------------------------------ Title: Berserk Why: See reason for Lain. Also....um...... >_> Plan: Probably not. It's not really my kinda series. I LOVE the dub outtakes though xD ----------------------------------------- Title: Monster Why: Took a peek as a really young weeb. Definitely too young to appreciate it. Plan: I promised a good friend I'd watch it with him this spring. I'm a woman of my word. :'D -------------------------------------------- Title: Perfect Blue Why: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT......THAT GUY IN IT. Plan: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE. XD ---------------------------------------------- Newer Stuff Title: Hunter x Hunter Why: I'm funny with shounen. I pick things up.........and don't finish them. I did enjoy the two eps I watched. I like Togashi. Plan: This is a definite yes. I marathoned Yu Yu Hakusho properly a few years ago....I can see myself doing that with this too. The question is "when?" ------------------------------------------------------ Title: Eureka Seven Why: Missed the Toonami run. D: Plan: Abso-f*cking-lutely. It looks amazing. I hear nothing but good things. -------------------------------------------------------- Title: Mirai Nikki Why: Was planning on it, was told not to. Read manga in two nights XD It was kinda dumb. Plan: Nah. Just watched some Yuno AMVs; those look like the best method. LOL |

| Lain doesn't really have disturbing imagery in the way Made in Abyss does. I'd say it's more confusing than disturbing, and more about how it executes its topics than about the imagery. Just sayin'. As for me, idk. I haven't seen Fist of the North Star yet but since I love old anime and battle shounen I definitely plan to one day. I also haven't seen Ideon and a bunch of other classic mecha shows/franchises that aren't Gundam/Macross/patlabor. Also have a bunch of WMT shows yet to watch, tho I just started another one with Akage no Anne. But basically there isn't much left that I haven't seen that has enough name recognition for this thread :> For anyone who knows me the biggest 'what, you haven't seen this?' is probably Devilman Crybaby but it's only been out for a month and I'm just not in a rush when it comes to watching stuff I know I will love ^^. Oh, and I guess that highly regarded Kenshin OVA. The manga was my second manga ever and I had already read it like 4 times when I joined MAL so I just never felt compelled to watch it as an anime. |

| Most definitely there are some I haven't watched, but I've probably watched more "classics" than the average fan at the same time. I think it's rare for fans to have extensively watched further back than the years they became a fan. Personally, I've delved quite a bit into titles from the 80s and 90s, and watched a few things from the 70s as well despite starting my fandom in 1996. Classics I haven't Seen: Air Master Ashita no Joe Bastard Boys Over Flowers (aka Hana Yori Dango) Cardcaptor Sakura (though I did watch one of the movies and Tsubasa Chronicle) City Hunter (watched Angel Heart though) Cutie Honey Devilman (Have seen Cyborg 009 VA Devilman though) Fushigi Yuugi Gatchaman Hajime no Ippo Key: The Metal Idol Kimba: The White Lion Mazinger Z Ranma 1/2 Revolutionary Girl Utena (Probably will never watch, don't like other stuff from Ikuhara) Saint Seiya |

| all ghibli films besides spirited away and kiki's delivery service. thought they were both boring as shit and probably won't like the rest. |

| NGE...is a classic, right? haven't seen it YET... just haven't got the time to actually get to it just because lol also, I'd love to say Gintama but I've already seen an episode or two. somehow I just don't want to completely watch it because I've seen too many posts in various SNS and it takes the fun out of it (I guess that's how I view it) and... Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop that are just rotting in my ptw for no reason |

| Honestly too much and I've tried catching up once in a while but I try to watch stuff I feel in the mood for, rather then force myself but recent ones I'm trying to get to. - Card Captor Sakura - Eureka Seven - FLCL - Gintama - Hunter x Hunter (1999) - Kino's Journey - Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Neon Genesis Evangelion (watched once / vaguely remember it) - Princess Tutu - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Tiger & Bunny A lot more but notable ones I'll get to. I know I haven't watched enough older stuff. |
 |
| I’m guessing Death Note counts as a classic? Regardless I’m aware it’s a very highly rated anime and manga. Death Note looks interesting but I guess I just have to be in the right mood to watch it. I’ll watch it someday... eventually... |
 |
| NGE i feel like i wont enjoy it right now. maybe when am bored and have been offline for long Cowboy Bebop errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr maybe later Serial E Lain, Monster or is it Another... Spirited Away i think most anime i have no good reason why havent yet seen. Do you want to see some awesome classic that might be 8+.... or maybe lets check out some of this seasons slice of life shows and some silly harems YES pliz |

Not really, it doesn't really have that much in common with Bebop or EVA (and neither do those two with each other xD) aside from vague critical acclaim. I recommend it to people who like weird technological sci-fi concepts, who enjoy deciphering what they watch while they watch for the sake of it to some degree, and to anyone who likes abstract, conceptual anime in general. I'd say it's more similar to stuff like Paranoia Agent or Texhnolyze than Bebop or EVA by a long shot. |

Sakky2213 said: I’m guessing Death Note counts as a classic? Maybe not quite old enough but it has the makings of one. Literally everyone has heard of it, even people who haven't watched it know all the characters' names and what it's about and it definitely had a large influence on the medium so yeah, it fits right into topic. |

|
| 3 of yours are the exact same as mine (Monster, HXH, Berserk). Main reason why I stall watching them is since they're quite long (except Berserk) and I can't find the time to invest in watching them. Other than that, probably NGE, Cowboy Bepop and LoGH There's also the big 3, but each is 200+ episodes and it'll take ages for me to actually start watching them rip |

I tend not to watch anime that are mainstream except Attack On Titan cause it's too good to resist, but I might watch Death Note and One Punch Man when the right time comes, when I'm in the mood to watch it, rather. |

But for anyone who wants to experience the full spectrum of what the medium has to offer I'd say it takes a similarly special place as those two shows since there just isn't much else like it. And since you wanted to know some titles, here are a bunch that I personally feel I should have watched already based on how much I've seen overall, although they aren't really classics or that highly rated in most cases: Fushigi Yuugi Ace wo Nerae Gasaraki Twin Spica Kaleido Star Key the Metal Idol Touch Kachou Ouji City Hunter Cutey Honey Black Jack (TV) Romeo no Aoi Sora Giant Gorg Genji Monogatari Sennenki Sora no Woto Megazone 23 Appleseed XIII Cleopatra Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! Sakigake!! Otokojuku Astro Boy |

| All of these shows I haven't watched yet because I simply had way too much on my PTW list at the time, but I am making it a requirement to go through at least 1-4+ cour "classic" franchise per month. I do plan on watching them Subject to change their order depending on how I feel March: Hajime no Ippo April: Hokuto no Ken May: Rurouni Kenshin June: Macross July: Kingdom and Blood (more recent and not necessarily classic. Not 4-cour) August: D.Gray Man September: Ashita no Joe (need separation from Hajime no Ippo) October: Yuu Yuu Hakusho (already read a bit of the manga in my younger days, so it's not as vital that I need to watch ASAP) November: Mobile Suit Gundam December: Urusei Yatsura Whenever: Hunter x Hunter (1999) once the freaking dubbed is done on Toonami Watched significantly the top 150 IIRC. I'm sure there are some left that I haven't explored that I wouldn't mind watching. (January: Gintama; February: Legend of Galactic Heroes) |

Gotcha gotcha :] Now to look at your list..... Fushigi Yuugi DON'T. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE CAME TO HATE SHOUJO EARLY. DON'T. JUST DON'T. Worst. Heroine. Ever. Kaleido Star Looks cute Key the Metal Idol Another to add to my list of "older stuff"City Hunter This one I don't hear good things about. Like the OP is the only good thing. XD And the rest I haven't watched either. :'D |
|
| Tiitle: CLANNAD, Anohana, Your lie in April Why: They look sad. Plan: I probably would never touch them because I'm afraid of getting sad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: FMA, Hajime no Ippo, Cowboy Bebop, Boku no Hero, Ghost in the Shell, Code Geass, Gurran Legann, Planetes, JoJo Why: I'm not interested in action, robots, or sci-fi. There is a lack of Moe too. Also they look serious, my demand for serious anime is very low. Since I'm too stressful to enjoy them, I can only take 1 serious anime between like every 9 comedy. Plan: I'm watching ACCA13 for the next few weeks, after that I'd finish JoJo first since i put it on-hold. JoJo will take me very long time, so I'm not going to touch the rest in a very long time too. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: LOTGH, HunterXHunter, Onepiece, Gintama Why: Same reason as the above, (except Gintama), but they are also very long. Plan: It's even less likely that I'll ever touch them --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Showa genroku rakugo shinju, Shinsekai Yori, Tatami Galaxy, Mushishi Why: They look intriguing but not fun. Also there is a serious lack of bishoujo too. Watching anime without bishoujo is something I rarely do. Plan: My demand for serious anime is very low, but I'll probably finish them before those action/sci-fi/mecha anime, maybe in the next 2 years. |
| @Chiibi Well, I've already downloaded Fushigi Yuugi so unless my PC crashes before I watch it I won't skip it now :P. I don't have any no-drop policy so I'll always try anything I'm interested in no matter what. The only question is when, although that can be a question of years and soon probably even decades considering I've had some stuff on my PTW since 2010 xD. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Hm that doesn't sound great but also not that bad. I usually have other pet peeves with shoujo protagonists. I'm more worried about how harem-y it is because that already bothered me at some points in Saiunkoku Monogatari and it was still pretty light there. I'd much prefer a straight-up romance subplot with one guy (or no romance, but I know that's not gonna happen in shoujo ^^). |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| There are plenty of highly rated (or classic) anime that I haven't seen, but I'm also not bothered about watching them since they don't sound like my type of show like Monster, GTO, Hajime no Ippo, plus many more. There are also shows which I have watched a bit of but couldn't get into them like Jojo or Stein's Gate, or that I didn't want to get into watching another long series like Gintama or LoGH. But I guess there will be something I've forgotten about, that I do want to watch and is a classic or highly rated show. |
| I have yet to watch any of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Gintama, or Steins;Gate. |

| Legend of Galactic Heroes for sure. I don't plan to watch it in the future and probably never will as I'm not really into heavy political story. Another one is Macross: Do You Remember Love? I've heard it has one of the best romance story in the entire franchise and I'm always a fan of the genre. Been meaning to watch it, but I never really get in the right mood. Other titles; Hajime no Ippo, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Claymore because Madhouse can't adapt for shit when it matters. |

I haven’t watched, so I can’t judge though. it's just supposed to be pretty formulaic and repetitive but if you like the basic formula that's probably not an issue. You can say the same about a lot of episodic long-runners probably. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I also remembered that I don't watch mahou shoujo so there's a bunch of classics in there that I probably won't ever watch with Sailor Moon being the biggest one most likely. |

Tutu was untypical enough that I watched and loved it. I was never into the genre but I've seen a few of the more 'untypical' ones like Tutu or Madoka (or Utena if you want to call that one mahou shoujo like some people do). But when I gave Precure I try I realized that the more normal mahou shoujo formula just bores me to death with monster of the week fights and fights consisting of random beams more than anything. |

velvetPhos said: Oh, really…? It is considered as one of the most famous classics from 80s among Japanese anime fans, so I thought it would be good. I haven’t watched, so I can’t judge though.

Hope you enjoy it. |
 |
| Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Steins;Gate, Made in Abyss Why: Still considering if I should watch this or not... Majority of shounen anime like Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball, Gintama, etc. Why: Too many episodes and not a fan of shounen so I won't watch them. Code Geass Why: Overrated and not a fan of anti-heroes. Gurrenn Lagaann Why: Not interested in it. There's a lot more than this so I'll stop here. |
 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
