Important Anime (original) (raw)

TV, 2011, 12 epsMe:- Author:10

Many people will point out otherwise, but contrary to its placement on MAL top anime and everything else that isn't what I am about to say. This is actually the best anime of all time.

The movie is pretty good too.

TV, 2018, 12 epsMe:- Author:10

Very unorthodox memeing, but actually has some underlying tones if you think hard enough or listen to what they are saying in that one song and the OP.

TV, 2019, 26 epsMe:- Author:8

Critically controversial and polarising for no reason other than your general one-liner complaints you see on forums. Whilst there is indeed no grand story, it is a lucky manga brought to life by the power of battle-shounen and animation. It's a good battle-shounen.

Unlimited Budget Works.

TV, 2009, 64 epsMe:- Author:-

Never watched it, but apparently, this is so good that it keeps coming back to top 1.

TV, 2012, 25 epsMe:- Author:-

The founder of isekai. The 3-time winner in most polarising. The one with the less popular "The Black Swordsman".

You've heard of this one before.

TV, 2007, 23 epsMe:- Author:4

If your friend told you this was manipulative/crybait, they weren't wrong.

TV, 2019, 12 epsMe:- Author:8

This series is to show you how much the industry both loves and hates anime.

TV, 2013, 13 epsMe:- Author:3

Baby's first literally me.

ONA, 2012, 1 epMe:- Author:1

Baby's first student film.

OVA, 2003, 1 epMe:- Author:1

The one after Shitcom.

Movie, 2001, 1 epMe:- Author:8

The anime you watched before you knew anime existed.

It is a staple in the medium honestly, as well as being the only anime to win an Oscar (Best Animated Feature).

TV, 2020, 12 epsMe:- Author:9

This one is very important because I wrote a very important review on it. I don't watch a lot of ecchi, but this was created by someone who discusses ecchi on a daily basis (watch Idaten as well).

Also, this anime was so important that it literally changed what everyone thought of Funi and changed how MAL rankings worked. Seriously.

TV, 2006, 24 epsMe:- Author:-

CEO of unwatchable watch order.

ONA, 2020, 1 epMe:- Author:6

"Ok so shorts aren't so bad after all"

Don't listen to my uneducated review on it by the way. This is actually a great work of art, totally immersing and simply gorgeous. As is regular TV anime, there is a good side to these shorts. I promise.

TV, 2021, 12 epsMe:- Author:5

How did this air? Who made this? Why is there a Pikachu meme in one of the episodes?

TV, 2007, 12 epsMe:- Author:3

The original coin flip anime. I personally loved it. The causal next door hated it, and the veteran felt indifferent.

The odds are more like 65-35 (hate-love).

TV, 2013, 24 epsMe:- Author:7

The anime that saved anime in literally no way. Still very good tho.

TV, 2016, 25 epsMe:- Author:7

Anime that is home to the actual best girl in all the land, Rem.

Also home to the original kuudere <3

TV, 2005, 26 epsMe:- Author:2

Yo when does this shit end???????

Like seriously. 26 episodes and 3 seasons of the exact same thing. Hell, even the last season gave up halfway and started recapping lmao. I love Enma Ai so much tho.

TV, 1999, ? epsMe:- Author:-

They keep saying "I won't watch this because it is long".

TV, 1969, ? epsMe:- Author:-

Even longer. Only the real nihonbros remember this (and that one time it got cancelled).

OVA, 1985, 1 epMe:- Author:-

Haha, those bozos don't know how to animate.

TV, 2018, 12 epsMe:- Author:2

"I wish that was my girlfriend."

Also, the original crazy pink-haired chick anime.

ONA, 2019, 7 epsMe:- Author:-

Whilst this donghua is indeed obscure (and not technically anime). It is a China moment you should watch anyway just because of how influential the guy is. So it is very important.

TV, 2017, 26 epsMe:- Author:-

The anime that isn't supposed to be anime.

TV, 2019, 25 epsMe:- Author:7

Shoujo's last lifeline.

A truly amazing remake that has swayed the hearts of even lost souls like me. You only feel more love as you progress for the series. Maybe this one isn't so important, but it shows the power of shoujo and remakes greatly.

TV, 1989, 291 epsMe:- Author:-

The boys' childhood anime.

TV, 1992, 46 epsMe:- Author:-

The girls' childhood anime.

TV, 2000, 224 epsMe:- Author:6

Everyone's childhood anime and THE HEART OF THE CARDS.

Pokemon will not make this list because it has been bastardised by Americans (damn them!!!) to the point where it 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 anime.

Movie, 1988, 1 epMe:- Author:8

The bike slide.

The chip. And the whole thing in general actually.

It is so important, there have been instances of people replicating Death Notes in real-life.

TV, 2011, 26 epsMe:- Author:2

Wild, wacky, and everything in between. This anime is big dumb.

Also baby's first yandere.

TV, 2018, 24 epsMe:- Author:-

Not even kidding but I wrote "Zero Two" when trying to add this anime rather than the title.

Yeah, the anime with that pink-haired girl I keep hearing e-girls talk about.

OVA, 2005, 1 epMe:- Author:1

The original most hated anime in existence.

ONA, 2018, 6 epsMe:- Author:1

ohemmgee!! they made an anime 4 me uwu.

ONA, 2019, 12 epsMe:- Author:3

they hav hot legs!!!!! *kyaaaaa*

OVA, 2009, 1 epMe:- Author:-

Ok but real talk, this says a lot about anime and its consequences.

But I mean, this one makes the list because training with your waifu is like, amazing, no? Don't leave me hanging.

ONA, 2017, 5 epsMe:- Author:1

An actual "wtf" anime. Combining cute girls and nonsense is an anime special, so it seems.

OVA, 1988, 110 epsMe:- Author:-

Ayo my brain is so big dude.

TV, 2017, 12 epsMe:- Author:-

They call me the lolicon exterminator.

Movie, 2016, 1 epMe:- Author:8

The original "carried by its visuals" anime.

This opens a whole discussion about if the movie is critically good or not, but I don't care about that for the moment. It has left its mark on the medium, and its legacy is eternal. It's won many awards and broke some box office records.

It is also really good imo.

Music, 2019, 1 epMe:- Author:-

Slip in a good music video that actually has quite the attention. Seems it had its fair share of memes too.
