I feel like I have missed some of the "legendary" status animes. I have this issue where I tend to judge great animes before I get a chance to watch, then once I have I regret not starting them sooner (this happened to me with Haruhi and FMA). My brother keeps suggesting Eva, which I am going to start soon. I am looking for more than just that one however! I am not super picky, but have not watched Eva due to the fact that my interest in mecha was destroyed from a few bad shows I had seen when I was younger. Now that I am older, I am trying to branch out. What are some other good suggestions for epic animes that classify as a "must-see" for the average anime fan? Thank you for your input
On a quick note, by "legendary" I do not necessarily mean that it has to have been widely popular (Pokemon and Digimon would fall in this) but something that is so amazing and well done that it would be a shame for most anime fans to miss it.
