For some reason that anime bored me to death.

Ouran High School Host Club because it's good and I'm gay.
xxxHolic for the creepiness.

I also must recommend Ranma 1/2. It was the series that first got me into anime.

hmm i gotta also say that FLCL was really. if u didnt like the comedy in the mini series then u have to at least like the music in it.

I would say lucky star too manly because its something different but i hold my judgment till the end of the series to give a proper rating

I'll agree with Saikano.
I will also say Berserk if only because it should make you want to read the infinitely superior manga.

Trigun
Cowboy Bebop

They're popular, which prevents most intelligent discussion because someone always runs in going "OMG I LUV THT SHOW [character] IS SO KAWAII BUT I CRIED ;___; REALLY HARD WHEN [character] DIED AND I HATE [character], SHE STOLE MY BISHIE FROM ME", but they're all incredible series.

Trigun especially. For shame, /c/, only one of you included it.

Series-wise, only Cowboy Bebop is a 'must-watch.' Pretty much every other series I've seen gets stale after awhile or just plain blows to begin with. Especially the recent stuff, it's just.... ugh. x_x

Essential cute:
- Rozen Maiden
- Ichigo Mashimaro
- Potemayo

Essential anime:
- Haruhi
- FLCL

To understand anything here on 4chan, add:
- NGE (at least enough to see Shinji's personality)
- Bible Black (2 minutes chosen at random is probably enough)
- Death Note (the first 25 are good, then just skip to the end for Swimming Lessons)
- One of the GUNDAM series (any)

No kidding. I'd like to know how many animes people have stopped liking BECAUSE of the ending, or the whole second half of the series. Several Gainax animes have lost me because of said reason(s).

Pretty much anything by Satoshi Kon is awesome, but Paranoia Agent's his only TV series, the rest are movies.

Way on the other end of the spectrum for my favorites is the cutesy Brigadoon, which contains a surprising amount of robots that bleed. Even so, I'm surprised not to see it mentioned more here due to the loli protagonist. Actually, I suppose it has a little bit of the mindfuck element of my other faves, in that you will be surprised by what happens, likely repeatedly.

I could never stand mindfuck shows, to be honest.

FLCL, Trigun, Gunslinger Girl(though, some probably won't like/get it), Kino's Journey: the Beautiful World , Outlaw Star(wtf? No one's mentioned this yet?), R.O.D.(OVA), NOIR and possibly Madlax.

There's probably a few more, but I can't remember.

Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran is a solid, sublime anime. It's not very well known but it great and thus one of my faves.
Miami Guns is in the same situation.

I have a thing for slow paced slice-of-life anime so I feel compelled to mention:
Aria (both seasons),
Windy Tales,
Kamichu, S
omeday`s Dreamers,
Bottle Fairy,
Kokoro Toshokan,
Ichigo Mashimaro,
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou,
NieA 7,
Genshiken, and
Mahoraba.

If you liked Azumanga Daioh, try:
Sensei no Ojikan,
Paniponi Dash,
Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight, and possibly
Fruits Basket and Gargoyle of the Yoshinagas.

For pure gut-besting comedy, try:
2x2 = Shinobuden,
Gyagu Manga Biyori,
Dai Mahou Touge, and
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan.

Other goodies of no particular genre are:
AirMaster,
Battle Programmer Shirase,
Burn Up Scramble,
Magikano,
Gunsmith Cats,
Android Ana Maico 2010,
Grenadier, and
Iriya no Sora UFO no Natsu.


Just watched an OVA called Maze Bakunetsu Jikuu, it was fairly good. I've found most OVA's of 1-6 episodes are usually worthwhile as well.

I hope someone finds this info useful!
