Is there a series that you'll eternally compare everything to?

Isn't that the anime with proto Taiga?

YKK

My Diary Desu

Wait, wrong board.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

Wasn't there a live action drama that used the same tropes as Kare Kano?

>>155999317
Not one single series, but there tends to be one or two for each genre

I wish Miyazawa was my wife.

She's cute.

>>155999317
No, grading everything with the same score sheet only limits you. I will agree that Kare Kano is the best romance anime though.

>>155999317
I'll always compare every sports anime I watch to Kuroko No Basuke.

I love that show way too much, I can't help thinking about it when I watch a different sports anime.

>>155999317
If a show tries to do its own lore, I compare it to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters.

>>156001888
Weird. That's not even that good of a sports anime.

Haruhi and Evangelion.

>>155999317
Only Yesterday

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Hunter x Hunter. I have watched many things that could be interchanged in my 9x9 but never the top 1. Although rewatching bebop for the first time in 5 years gave it a run for its money.

>>155999317
Oreimo and Evangelion.

>>155999317
Not me, but the average weeb loves to compare every single show with
>Evangelion
>Madoka
>K-On

Boku no Pico

>>155999317

fullmetal alchemist, at least in the range of shounen? i've always liked that it had a singular story to tell and didn't outstay it's welcome.

>>156004547
Pretty much this. Evangelion is the go-to "gold standard" and K-On is the thing you compare shitty shows to, to see if they were really that bad or just a little bit worse than K-On.

Any time a show recaps, I always think back to Kare Kano.

I've got a fucking neurosis with this show.
>Try to watch it once, Crippling loneliness
>Swear to watch it when I start dating someone
>Multiple GFs since
>Always break up somehow before I get to watch it

I'm going to die alone without ever having seen Kare Kano.

I never liked slice of club, and then one that's actually good comes along and leaves a hole in my heart because nobody wants to make anything but vapid moeshit.
