Anime Series You Must See
I created this list based in my personal preferences, it´s ranked according to it. On principle, I ll try to add only completed series or those which have a high chance of being completed. It does not contain every anime series I have seen, only those I really think have an impact.
As you may notice, most my animes are action based shounen/seinen series. Been warned, complain if you must.
I'll keep adding as I see them.

Luffy, the boy who ate the 'Gomu-Gomu' devil fruit, gathers a crew to conquer the perils of the Grand Line, the most dangerous sea of all, and become Pirate King.
Allies a good story with unimaginable settings and incredible adventures, full of literary and historical references. If that wasn't enough, it has hundreds of characters with different amazing skills and the best fighting sequences there ever were.
Note: Most people can't get past the fact that this Anime is over 1000 episodes and with no end in sight, this really can be discouraging. Also the first 40 episodes are about Luffy gathering is initial crew, so if you wanna give the show a chance I recommend you watch it until they get into Grand Line.
