In case you haven’t watched any anime at all (which in turn would make me ask, why are you here?) or your friend hasn’t watched any anime (which again would make me ask, what is wrong with your friend!?) a new poll from MyNavi free-for-all has results from over 7000 anime fans asking what was the one anime you MUST watch before you die.
