It looks like I've triggered an algorithm that has identified me as someone who consistently tries to manipulate the percentages either up or down. Oh, well.....

I try to add enlightening commentary, but let's face it:
I'm far from perfect.

    I have seen two three videos that examine the concept of "classics" from distinctly different perspectives:
  1. Gigguk | Garnt Maneetapho

  2. Mother's Basement | Geoff Thew

  3. Bonsai Pop | Mike ?
EDIT: 2020-04-11
In this video YouTube user Gigguk (Garnt Maneetapho) talks about SAO in the context of gateway anime.
    2 Videos That Share a Common Theme:
  1. "The Greatest Thing Anime Has Done"|Gigguk (Garnt Maneetapho)
  2. "A Love Letter to a Place Further than the Universe" | Isla McTear (Line/link added 2020-06-24)

10 Anime That Are Fantastic But Hard To Recommend
Anime only continues to get more and more mainstream, but these are 10 anime we wouldn't want to recommend even though they're great.

Seen/Read All (public list)▲▼ Rating▲▼
Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy (TV) Excellent (dub & sub)
Some of the humor is funny!
Ah! My Goddess: The Movie Very good
Ai Yori Aoshi (TV) Excellent (dub & sub)
In standing up to a certain someone, Aoi shows that she is not a doormat!
Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~ (TV) Very good (dub & sub)
It's a Harem/Comedy/Slice-of-life.
The funny thing is, I like the anime (TV, not OAV) better than the manga because it did not adapt the entire manga; I did not particularly care how the manga ended. Funny, huh?
Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~ Miyuki (OAV) Not really good (dub), So-so (sub)
Plot? What plot?! And what's with the faux southern accent for Tina Foster in the dub?
Air (TV) Good (dub), Very good (sub)
The OP & insert song cause me to bump my rating up a notch to 9/11 (Very Good)
Air In Summer (special) Very good (dub & sub)
Aishiteruze Baby (TV) Masterpiece
↕
Pros:
  • Great ED & nice OP.
  • ep.#16 is particularly affecting
  • ep.#17 ends on a real cliff hanger!
  • ep.#20 is intense
Cons:
  • ep.s#7 & 22 -- 5 yr. olds don't experience romantic love
  • ep.#10 -- 5 yr. olds cannot pick up subtle emotions like that
↔
Akagami no Shirayuki-hime: Nandemonai Takaramono, Kono Page (OAV) Excellent
Ah, romance!
Akame ga KILL! (TV) Very good
Pro: The death count is tragic.
Con:The characters of the antagonists just do not add up! Their motivations just do not make sense!
Akebi's Sailor Uniform (TV) Very good (dub), Excellent (sub)
Pro: The animation doesn't employ color-saturated cells.
Akira (movie) Decent
It's a big turn-off for me when people tell me that that you must read the manga in order to understand it.
Akudama Drive (TV) Masterpiece (dub & sub)
↕
Steve Jones is a helluva lot more eloquent than I ever could be!
↔
Alice in Borderland (OAV) Masterpiece
↕
Battle royale tragedy.
↔
Alien Nine (special) Good
