Landmarks in what Westerners and what Japan would consider the landmarks of anime are probably not as similar.
I would suggest many of the titles you have already seen are titan titles (Akira/Bebop/Eva)
If you go Japanese landmarks Gatchaman, Makazinger for defining Mecha, Gundam (the original Mobile Suit)Making Mecha what it is today, Macross for tieing pop music to anime and delivering a dynamic of a love triangle, and possibly Miyazaki's earlier works such as Castle of Cagliostro, or Nausicaä. Speaking of Castle of Cagliostro Early Lupin TV show (season 1 or 2) You don't have to watch a lot, maybe enough to get the general vibe of the franchise (most of the show was completly episodic) I'd even go as far as saying, watch a handful of Doraemon just to get a sense of title Japanese people (who don't even watch anime anymore) probably saw as a kid.
Now for cool titles that are ones I cut my teeth on and in the early days of VHS titles broguht over, that will be another list on another day.
Oh yes, our hearts have been bonded by the ties of fate. We've known each other for eight days now. I've only cheated on him 24 times this week, and it's only Monday! True love right there.
Well, I wasn't born here. I originally come from Poland, though my family moved to Glasgow back when I was 6-7, so I managed to adapt to the country and it's culture and language. Unlike a lot of Scotsmen yelling "FREEDOM" everytime the country of England is even refrenced, I do happen to have knowledge of the history of the country. Despite my nationality, I have a burning passion for tea. Twenty cups a day is a must!
And no, I'm not going to clean your toilet. Not every Pole is a plumber! I happen to be a painter... Not like that's a more stereotypical job or anything.
LotGH is a masterpiece that simply cannot be spoiled, I would never dare to do such thing. By the way, no matter how high your expectations may be of the show, they'll still far from how brilliant the show actually is.
Yes, Arise belongs in the 9th circle of Hell in Lucifers mouth to be frozen for eternety because it betrays its family.
No, I don't have a channel of my own, I'm a student (not liberal arts) so I've got very little time for anything constructive. I read when I can or watch an anime, but with around 5 hours of daily studying (not counting classes and breaks) I just couldn't manage it.
Maybe one day I'll start one, but at the moment it is a no go.
Yeah, Anime Planet is the only anime page I use to track things. Back when I got into anime the only one I knew about and didn't change it because well all are mostly the same.
Thank you for the compliments, it is always nice to know that someone appreciates what I do. And I like the word grand :)
I always try to give some decent info on what the show offers or doesn't offer. I actually watch anime more for critique than for anything else, it's become a hobby of sorts. But it is mostly discussed over Skype or irl over beer.
Also the new overview of Ghost In The Shell should be hitting roricon's channel soon, when he actually gets online for us to send him over the files.
