As someone just getting into anime, what are some absolute must watches?
>>
Evangelion
Cowboy Bebop
Akira
Lupin III Castle of Cagliostro
The works of Satoshi Kon
Nichijou
Redline
Kill La Kill
Space Dandy
Ping Pong the animation
These are all normie tier starter pack anime that almost anyone can enjoy. If you want to go deeper check out stuff like Legends of the Galactic Heroes, Gun/Diebuster, or Flip Flappers
>>
What shows have you seen so far?

You should try these:
Death note (great for beginners)
Evangelion
Mushishi
Berserk (1997)
FMA: Brotherhood
Gurren Lagann

>>239814
>>239816
I've seen Eva, Bebop, Nicjijou, KLK, Dandy, Ping Pong, FliFLa, Death Note, FMA and Gurren Lagann from these.
I'll check out the others, thanks.

WIXOSS is reallllyyyy good
>>
I love tech anime, like Ghost in the shell, Evangelion, Dennō Coil, mobile suit gundam and my regular shows are Death Note, Naruto, One piece, Bleach, Dragonball Z, and Attack on Titan....
>>
>>239806
Mobile Suit Gundam (1979). Inventor and pinnacle of the "real robot" genre.
Cardcaptor Sakura. Pinnacle of the magical girl genre.
K-On!. Pinnacle of the slice of life/cute girls doing cute things genre.

>Kill la Kill
"Must watches" are typically supposed to be good, Anon. You should recommend Gurren Lagann instead.
>>
>>239806
>not posting the 10/10 list
Kodomo no Jikan
Boku no Pico
Lucky Star
School Days
Sailor Moon
and let's not forget the greatest anime ever:
Cory in the House

>Kill la Kill is bad
Honestly this. The action scenes were boring, because they were so ridiculous and way over the top. If you're going to draw women being scantily-clad, they should at least look good. These girls weren't anything special, so...

If you want to see an anime series where the arrogant, and hot-headed main character doesn't know when they're outmatched, and they're constantly bested by a cool and collected superior -- watch attack on titan.

I know you're being sarcastic, but all the "over the top" scenes in Kill la Kill were weak as fuck and done many times better in many other series. It tries to be the biggest baddest hot-blooded new kid on the block and it fails. Hiroyuki Imaishi, God bless him, is actually no fucking good at directing or writing. Gurren Lagann is his best and really only good work, and it's almost entirely because of Kazuki Nakashima's brilliant work writing half the fucking show.

Though this doesn't explain why Kill la Kill failed so utterly, because Nakashima was head writer on that as well, having even more influence over the script than he did with TTGL. Call it a fluke, lightning in a bottle, whatever you want. The end result is still the same: Kill la Kill is a rehash of its predecessors (mainly Gurren Lagann) that's simply worse in every way. It's a bad recommendation when the same exact show but actually good exists.

Spice and Wolf, because why the hell not.
