What the title says, slightly different from the "What are you Watching/Reading?" threads.
As I've posted before I'm getting back into watching Anime again after not doing so for a long time. Mostly because I was lazy and reading manga. Now I've got a ton of new shows to sift through to find the good stuff. So far I've been doing all right. I've not come across anything I've not at least enjoyed enough to finish. Still I crave more, and I'm sure there are others who might have missed a gem or two along the way.
This thread is for the good stuff that people should watch both new and old. The stuff that shouldn't be missed and not the merely okay or 'twas decent type stuff. Stand out series that are above and beyond the average show. The personal favorites so to speak.
Angel Beats is really great for example. Haven't read the manga so I can't comment on that, but the Anime is one I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it. It takes a bit to start getting good, but it does some amazing things and has lots of heavy feels for the type of show that it is.
I don't think I've ever been more amused reading a manga than I was when I read Sora No Otoshimono, [or Heaven's Lost Property]. I'm not really sure why, because it's basically an updated Urusei Yatsura, but it's well done and hit the right comedy beats to keep me chuckling at it.
I really enjoyed "Kill La Kill" despite the stupid premise. It turned out to be an enjoyable action heavy series. Gurren Lagann being it's less liked and not as good at anything younger sibling. I've heard people say they didn't like Gurren Lagann who enjoyed Kill La Kill.
There are also a few obvious choices, such as Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Ninja Scroll, Cowboy Beebop, and a long list I know I'm forgetting.
At any rate, post the best stuff you know of for Anime or manga series or movies.
