Hey guys, it's Ash.

There's many good anime that one should watch before death. This mini thread will be an attempt to answer the famous question:

What 5 anime do all Anime fans need to watch before death...?

I'll start (even if I've not watched that many anime)

1. Death Note
To show the best of old anime
2. Sword Art Online
To show the worst of modern anime
3. Assassination Classroom
Because it's just such a modern masterpiece (controversial opinion...?)
4. Bakemonogatari
It's my favourite anime, fight me.
5. Gintama
Why? Because it's Gintama bro.

Honourable Mentions:
Domestic No Kanojo
Re:zero Kara Hajime Isekai Seikatsu
Shokugeki No Souma

Anyways, if you haven't tried all these, do so. If you have and need to tweak it, keep the thread going and we can all help each other achieve peak anime.

1. Anohana.
Just they best anime ever conceived. There is no great work of fiction! If you ever need a cry this is the anime for you!!! ><
2. Carol and Tuesday
In recent times probably the best anime I have seen and its honestly pretty special show.
3. Hajime no Ippo
Best sports show there is and its just a fantastic watch. Got a bit of everything and has alot of character.
4. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
This anime is hype incarnated! Just brilliantly done. Really inspiring and all about moving forward in big ways.
5. Naruto
So a big shounen has to go on here somewhere. I would say Naruto is the one to go for since its the western favouriate. You will have a good show to talk with all your fellow weebs.

1. 3-gatsu no Lion
Absolutely beautiful show. Amazing soundtrack, brilliant art and the most lovable and interesting characters I'v ever seen in an anime.

2. 3-gatsu no Lion Season 2
Kind of self-explanatory. Basically the first season but arguably even better.

3. Steins;Gate
Another amazing anime with really strong characters. It has a very strong plot and I love the aspect of time travel and how it's covered. Pretty much a classic.

4. Anohana
Somehow Anohana creates nostalgia for me. Not sure why. Anyways, everything about it is just really nice, from the OST to the characters and the plot. Brilliant ending, probably my favourite, short anime.

5. Your Lie in April
Not perfect, but a great romance anime. It has probably the best use of music in any show I've seen, stunning visuals and compelling characters and plot.

Damn. All of these shows are depressing... Sadness.

(6. Naruto
Because all the previous shows are more Slice of Life than anything. I refused to watch Naruto until recently and honestly, I regret it. It's actually really quite enjoyable. Most of all, it is the shounen, so I feel like it should be given a watch at some point, even if you don't end up enjoying it.)

1) Shadow Skill
I like their slow fighting scene where the characters had to chant some sort of technique before executing it.

2) Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu (OG version)
Space ship fighting with a lot of political melodrama in the story.

3) Byousoku 5 Centimeter
The first anime that WOW me with it's animation background haha...

4) Hellsing Ultimate
AMEN by Priest Anderson ~~~~

5) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Enjoying Kyon getting into troublesome situation

Oh hey a Shadow Skill fan! I've rarely seen anyone talk about that series! ^_^

Anyways as for my list I'd have to say:

Hikaru no Go- One of the few best anime that revolves around an ancient game such as Go and actually interesting it has such good writing.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann- I'm rarely into mecha but this is one of the few anime I like that does it pretty well. It's a good coming of age anime with unique characters and the animation is awesome yet over-the-top.

Azumanga Daioh- This is by far my favorite comedy anime. It's slice of life but the characters are so darn fun, and the comedy is so good.

Full Metal Alchemist- One of my favorite Science Fiction fantasy anime. 2003 version specifically I could always rewatch for the soundtrack, and of course for the story and characters too obviously. xD

Your Lie in April- A really powerful depressing anime. I remember everyone was raving about it when it was popular when it first came, but it's wicked good. Everything from the writing, characters, and the music since it revolves around music. it's just a wonderful anime. xP
