Only Neon Genesis Evangelion +The End of Evangelion

There are a lot of anime I'd recommend, but I do not consider them a must watch. I think Evangelion is the only one that everyone should watch at least once in their life.

If I wanted to give a list of anime to a stranger so they could understand much of what I appreciate about anime, I would have them watch these (In no particular order):

1) Cowboy Bebop
2) Akira
3) FLCL
4) My Neighbor Totoro
5) Gurren Lagann

(I haven't looked at any other lists in this thread yet, but I'm guessing Cowboy Bebop and Akira are probably on a lot of them)

Edit: These are a lot more varied than I thought! Tbh people are including more than I expected of what I would consider, um... stuff that appeals to the lowest common denominator xD Like do you even respect the people you would have watch these??

By "must watch" I guess you mean shows everyone should watch... so, my favourites of course.
-Monster
-Evangelion
-Perfect Blue
-Steins;Gate
-Death note
Also, it really depends what you like. But in my opinion these are all good.

Death Note - In my opinion, it's the best introduction to the 'non-battle' battle shounen.

Stein's; Gate - Time travel is a popular topic and this anime gives this exciting premise a lot of love

Mo Dao Zu Shi - Actually a donghua (chinese anime) but it serves as a good example that 'anime' doesn't have to be restricted to Japan. Also it's brilliant so why not?

Re; zero - It's a non-trashy isekai. The genre isn't terrible but it has to be executed well. Re; zero does a fantastic job.

Boku no Hero Academia - it's almost as if superhero movies dominate the west. This show might be childish for some but it just goes to show how popular superheroes are in the east too.

Kimi no na wa - Dunno why I added this onto my list seeing as I didn't really like it. Nevertheless, I feel like people have to watch this at least once.

King's avatar - another donghua but with the popularity of e-sports these days, it really has to be a must watch on my list

(Not necessarily in a prioritized order)

1.) Inuyasha - this one may be largely due to nostalgia from my childhood, but I think this is a must see. While no singular aspect is incredible, it rolls together nicely imo and has a nice atmosphere.

2.) Toradora - A great romance, good character development, warming to watch, although a bit dramatic later on.

3.) Samurai Champloo (eng dub)- same writer as highly acclaimed Cowboy Bebop and better on my opinion.

4.) Highschool DxD (eng dub)- I think harems are overall shitty and this is no exception, but as far as harems this is about as good as it gets for some cheap laughs. Main character is surprisingly likeable.

5.) Naruto - best battle shonen by incomparable margins. Honestly best anime ever. Great plot, character development, interesting fictional world, great background music and epic fights no other anime can compare to.

6.) https://myanimelist.net/anime/14813/Yahari_Ore_no_Seishun_Love_Comedy_wa_Machigatteiru - hillarious, and a good story.

Some of those are probably in the top 10-50 but if I had to narrow it down those would be my “have to watch” anime. Maybe not so much DxD, it’s kind of shit, but it’s the best of the shit so honorable mention.


Anime I excluded because they’re probably in the top 50 but I feel are worth mentioning/must see:

- Death Note
- Attack On Titan (eng dub is better here imo)
- FMA: Brotherhood
- Assassination Classroom
- Cowboy bebop
- Food Wars
- One Punch Man
- Your Lie in April (watch at your own risk, depressing A F)

Some anime I’m almost sure aren’t in the top 50 I would reccomend:

-Saekano
-Shimoneta (eng dub is better here imo)
-Trigun
-3D Kanojo
-Yona of the Dawn (eng dub is better here imo)
-Kabaneri of the Iron Foretress
-The Place Promised in our Early Years
-Aho girl
Lolicons are scum.
BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica.
Naruto is objectively the best anime ever.
HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad.
