Most of my exposure with anime was whatever was on Toonami and Adult Swim in the 2000s. I've not watched stuff like, Ghost In The Shell, Cowboy Bebop (only disjointed episodes out of order), Neon Genesis Evangelion, which I know are highly regarded.

I've seen just about every Miyazaki movie at this point. I've seen Akeria.

I'm sure there's more mainstream shows and non mainstream shows that I'm missing and would enjoy.

Thoughts?

you gotta add the title for dougram! i know what it is without the title, but other people might not. otherwise i basically agree with all your picks, if you're going for a good understanding of anime history most of these are essential

i will say i'd pick urusei yatsura over maison ikkoku as rumiko takahashi goes, especially if beautiful dreamer is already on there, and i'd put ranma 1/2 over them both (though i'm biased there for gender reasons)

Yeah, I forgot lol. I was typing on the phone, but for some reason it lagged a lot. So I typed it elsewhere and copy-pasted it back.

As for Maison Ikkoku, it's because I have actually seen it to completion - unlike the other two you mentioned.

ahh, fair enough lmao. i think urusei yatsura and ranma are both much better madcap comedies but maison ikkoku has a more grounded dramatic core, and ranma gets the edge over uy because of the gender
