It used to be around 300-500, but that was 10 years ago. Now I'd unironically say 1000 shows.
In general though you need to watch enough to be able to have a good grasp of the major trends of the past 20-25 years, as well as the "classics" of each era.
317 watched, 123 read.
Here's my favorites as well.
lol get fucked, this isn't some sophisticated club where you need a deeper understanding of the medium to post. If someone has seen only 1 anime and sees a thread about said anime you'll never have any idea what sort of a raging newfag he is if he doesn't go out of his way to act like a faggot

>you need a deeper understanding of the medium to post
It helps if you have a deeper understanding though. And why shouldn't we aim for people to be as conversant with the medium as possible here? I'm not saying we should have tests or anything of that sort to be able to post here, but what's wrong with advocating that people learn as much as possible about anime?
