I agree with you about the Rose of Versailles, Mushishi, Honey and clover and Haibane Reinmei (my favorite). I’d also add Serei no moribito (beautiful drawings, great story).

Hm… no mention whatsoever of an extremely popular anime category– sports? At least 5 major animes come to mind in this genre (Captain Tsubasa, Slam Dunk, even Prince of Tennis, etc)

It’s probably a personal thing, but I’d have Takehiko Inoue’s seminal work, Slam Dunk, on this (already fantastic) list of yours simply because of its undeniable influence of those who grew up in the 90s.

Well, I’m a bit of an anime addict but every once in a while I have to plunge into various chatrooms and blogs to get an idea of what to watch next. So thanks for posting this, even though I can tell I won’t like some of the videos (i mean it is “your” essential anime, we all have our own taste). I just watched Nadesico, loved it and I guess I should catch Macross at some point. The other blog postings are great too!!! and just btdubs, I feel like Gurren Lagann, Noein, and for gods sakes FLCL (Fooly Cooly , Furi Curi whatev) need to get attention. I wouldn’t call Noein “essential” but the other two should go into that Anime Canon someone mentioned.

As a reviewer, blogger, writer, whatever floats your boat, don’t let people’s ‘zomg I HATED that show, it’s for ****’ get to you. Childish ranting and different opinions are always going to be daunting but it’s your post and your own opinion. It’s best just to ignore the ones that annoy you.

But after reading some more of your comments it’s kind of obvious you’re just the same as them.

@sasa: The manga is notorious for sucking a hard dick but the anime is OMGWIN. It’s secon only to Nadesico in this list’s importance.

Also, to any Yukan author, is Blissmo the only one who gets the emails or somethig? where the hell is she?
