ITT: Anime/manga that everyone should be required to watch/read(both if applicable) in order to be considered a true fan of the medium as a whole.
If it was made past 2010, don't bother.
To qualify, the series must be staples of their respective genres.

Ashita no Joe

Berserk

Great Teacher Onizuka

The Haruhi Suzumiya series (the anime and the LNs)

Serial Experiments Lain (don't argue with this, it is THE psychological anime)

Doraemon

Devilman

Evangelion is shit and doesn't belong on this list

Those are some of my own picks.

Because there is nothing made past 2010 that can be considered a staple of the genre.

No, take this to /wsr/ you stupid newfag. If /a/ had required reading there would be a sticky. Fuck off with your thinly veiled request thread you fucking faggot.

>>140816154
Name ONE you think could be considered a staple of its respective genre.
You either can't, or you'll name one that isn't actually a staple of its genre.

>>140816183
Just kill yourself already reddit.
>gotta be a memer like everyone else!
>N-No lists! I-I hate requests, I'd rather talk about my flavor of the month garbage because I just started watching anime and this is my first time on this board
Fuck off retard.

>>140816059
Because anything made after 2010 hasn't had enough time to establish itself as a series that can be discussed and influential more than a few years down the line.
>>140815975
Evangelion, love it or hate it, 100% deserves a spot on any list of "required" watching.

To add to the list
Naussica
FLCL
Card Captor Sakura

Monogatari series
>>
>>140815975
Evangelion is required watching if you are a "true fan" of the medium, love it or hate it
>>
>>140819425
Monogatari is not at all required.

All you have to know is the main character's name and the animals the girls are associated with and that's literally it.

Fuck out of here.

Yeah, you can't call yourself an anime fan if you haven't watch this.

>SAO (to understand why people don't like it)
I wouldn't subject my worst enemy to season 2 for any reason.

>>140815975
I'm not joking when I say this, but you MUST watch Dimension W. It's an excellent tool of reference when judging whether an anime is decent or bad.

Dimension W is so bland and generic that it gets a perfect 5/10.

If an anime is better than Dimension W, then it is fine.

If an anime is worse than Dimension W, then it is bad.

In that sense, the Dimension W anime is required.
>>
>>140815975
Is that a TTGL reference?

>>140820174
I laugh every time I see this.

Laughed heartily.

Maybe, but I'm pretty certain Joe didn't invent it.

>>140820050
Was this post intended to be ironic? Haruhi is the defining series for slice of life, it is ingrained in anime's very culture.
>>
>>140819976
This

Not required, but I would agree that it is recommended.

>hurr durr if it is a staple it means it is good
>hurr durr only before 2010
Love Live! School Idol Project is a staple and recent, doesn't mean it is a required watch.
Sword Art Online is a staple and recent, and pretty shitty.

This thread should just be great anime, which includes recent animes like Madoka or Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
>>
>>140820950
How was he ironic? He said the exact same thing you just said.
>>
>>140820950
>>140821314

Well, now that I read what I posted again, it sure sounded a bit ironic.
>>
There aren't any.
>>
>>140821314
His post sounded ironic. I wasn't claiming tht it was. I thought he was mocking Haruhi's importance to anime.
