Animes With Lasting Impression

Some animes already mentioned here are better but since I didn't saw it in the comments try Tokyo Ghoul if you didn't yet. I really got invested in the characters for some reason. Some say the manga is better but i'm not really a manga reader so I can't say anything about that.

Your Lie In April is a "must watch".

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood got me into anime, I still sing YUI - Again to myself occasionally, everything about it is just a masterpiece that I don't think I'll ever forget.

Steins;Gate made me realise how important it is to give things a chance, I started thinking the main character was so insufferable that I couldn't watch it. I was urged to stick with it, when I revisited it, I loved it and its intricacies so much it became probably my second favourite anime and favourite VN.

Higurashi, the first thing I watched that I realised anime was absolutely mental and not just about little girls running around and for pervs. It started off with me thinking it was going to be some shitty slice of life thing with fan service, I was about to turn it off when suddenly baseball bats happened and it changed my perception of anime entirely.

i've only seen a few animes in my life but one punch man was awesome

Speed Grapher

Also Death Note is shit

I'm disappointed that no one mentioned bocu no pico...

Naah just kidding, carry on.
Bu seriously, why does not anybody mentioned gintama? It's one pf my favorite anime.

I can't recommend any anime (Samurai Champloo is my favorite though), but as you see such a thread gets quite anarchic pretty quickly. Thus a ranking like https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?type=bypopularity is rather helpful. You can also filter them by genres.

Not really into anime, but I absolutely loved Elfen Lied, Cowboy Bebop, and Wolfs Rain. Especially Cowboy Bebop

Steins;Gate (the VN not the anime but they are the same pretty much)
Gangsta
Psycho-Pass

MAL

My favorite anime (in the order I can remember their names) are

• Baka No Test
• Sekirei (I & II, although the mange is much better)
• Angel Beats
• Fairy Tale
• Sword Art Online (I & II)

My first anime was AKIRA, which is more of a movie. There are other anime which moved me (e.g. Welcome to the NHK), but I wouldn't want to watch them, again, as they were gloomy. I did like Hunter x Hunter, but the ending is a bit of a downer. Also, there are many, many anime I haven't yet had a chance to watch, such as Cowboy Bebop, Stein's; Gate, and Berserker.

I wish they would do a full anime treatment of Rosario + Vampire and Ah, My Goddess, but I don't see that happening. P

I liked Death Parade. Made me think about some things.

I think no one mentioned the grandfather of anime in occident:

• Macross and all it's iterations. (Yes Robotech too, it's a good show)

I will second this:

• Death Note
• Hokuto no Ken
• Great Teacher Onizuka
• Ghibli ghibli, and ghibli ghibli ghibli

Others:

• Everything from Satoshi Kon
• Everything from Mamoru Hosoda (Wolf Children is specially good)
• Garden of words (gorgeous little movie)

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Elfen Lied

I'll give you my list instead
