This is a general list of "must-watch" anime oriented for those who are new to the medium. Each title that is added to this list should have at least a small description on its own page. The following shows are popular and critically acclaimed, though some may not align with your own personal taste.

For personalized recommendations, submit a request at r/animesuggest.

For other general recommendation charts check the /a/ wiki . In fact this wiki is loosely based on this chart .

Editor's Note: Each category limited to 12 series. All series should be listed in alphabetical order. Any series caught out of order will be deleted on sight. Help is requested in reducing/dividing the action section. As it stands, the action section is shit as I only watch classy anime like Milky Holmes. This list is determined to have a certain standard of quality. If you added a series but find it was later removed, it's because you were adopted, your parents hate you, and the anime sucked shit.
