What is the one show that you would, above all else, recommend to people?
For animated, it's Madoka Magica
For live action, it's Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Disagreements and debates are welcome.

Seeing as how I only watch like 5 shows consistently, it'd have to be one of those 5: Naruto: Shipudden, MLP, Attack on Titan, South Park, and Key and Peele.

Obviously I've heard of Madoka, but you inspired me to give it a look. Holy shit I did not know it was made by SHAFT, so I will be torrenting that immediately.
Kershinator
@BreadWolf:
It's honestly one of the greatest series I've ever seen. Excellent writing, interesting characters, and you can watch it all in four hours.

western animation: ponies
anime: AOT and Clannad have already been mentioned so I'd say seitokai yakuindomo or black rock shooter

@DashingRainbow: Going under the very likely assumption that everyone here has seen My Smaller Horses, what else would you recommend?
Kershinator
@aWSOMN360: I was moderately impressed with the first few, but the whole Titan Shifter thing killed a lot of momentum for me.
aWSOMN360
@Kershinator: Eh, i felt the same way originally but i got over it seeing that Eren still struggles even after he finds out he's a titan shifter.
Kershinator
@SpongeyGString: Why? Because I spoiled that the titans shift around on the dance floor?
Parks Ass To Ass
Western Animation: Spider-Man
Anime: From the anime's I've watched Sword Art Online
Live Action: Seinfeld
Movie: Goodfellas
Game: Super Mario World
Animated Movie: Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker (Original Uncut)
SpongeyGString Akari~n!
I recommend a huge number of British panel shows eg. QI, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Mock the Week, Would I lie to you... (The list goes on)
Parks Ass To Ass
@Kershinator: Like I said I haven't watched a lot of anime. I've only watched all of Death Note and SOA, some of Soul Eater and some of SNK/AOT and obviously a lot of Dragon Ball and DBZ.
DashingRainbow
i guess if you want a cartoon I'd say Adventure Time or Code Lyoko
I recommend British television for live action stuff: Misfits, the Inbetweeners, Dr. Who and Sherlock are all magnificent.

@TheXRayFactor: That's the one thing I don't like about Naruto, but the anime is now pretty far behind, so there won't be any fillers for a while.

@Redblood801:
I havent seen the show since I was 8 so i can't really remeber who that is
Redblood801 Chief Dingus
@DashingRainbow: It's actually X.A.N.A and the show is called Code Lyoko. But it still is a good show.
God I can't believe I remember this stuff, I am such a fucking nerd.
DashingRainbow
@Redblood801:
fuuuuck I didn't realize my mistake. I understand your legendary joke now.
Redblood801 Chief Dingus
@DashingRainbow: No, it's just a common joke.
If it was legendary, the text would be orange.

@Parks:Can I disagree with your anime recommendation? I'm surprised the writer for SAO hasn't been sued by the guy who invented cliches, because I'm pretty sure he plagiarized all his characters personalities and plot from TV Tropes, and sadly he took all the shitty tropes too. Also, on an unrelated note: YES SEINFELD.

Anime: TORADORA if you like romantic comedy. One Piece is great too but people usually hate that its LONG AS FUCK. I have to try Madoka and Yuru Yuri if they are any good.
Movie: The Iron Giant. Pretty damn good.
Video Games: Tales of Xillia or any "Tales of" game really.
MrFozzilla the Inactive
Oreimo was pretty great too but I would've loved a different ending. This one wasn't bad but I just would've preferred a different one. Kuroneko and Ayase man.

@Parks:If you want one, try Fullmetal Alchemist or Steins;Gate. They both have fantastic characters with very little cliches. Very original stories.
