>>15639If you really want essential anime I'd say it would be those:
1. Kujira - first anime to be recognized in the west, won a cannes award
2. Astroboy - the anime that started a revolution in animated tv series
3. Space Battleship Yamato - first space opera anime, started the whole legion of sci-fi anime inspired by star wars
4. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind - started the influx of experimental anime in the media of film
5. Neon Genesis Evangelion - same as Nausicaa, just for tv series
This list might be pretty useful in general.
