Made in Abyss - really good but not for the faint hearted. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the creator is Akihito Tsukushi, the same person who did the designs for the Elebits games!

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Cowboy Bebop

Scavengers Reign - this one’s pretty trippy and has some great creature designs!

Hajime No Ippo!

It’s a boxing anime based on a manga (that’s still going after decades!) where a school kid is beat up and rescued by a passing boxer, who takes him in to a boxing gym to fix his wounds. It turns out he’s got some solid power from his family background in fishing, so he becomes a boxer and learns what it means to be strong.

If you like DBZ, you’ll probably love this. Alongside this, it’s refreshing in that it’s an anime that praises hard work, rather than being “the chosen one” or being gifted power. What I love about it is that several characters go through huge growth in ways that are truly unexpected.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. For me, it’s the perfect anime. An amazing blend of action, narrative, great characters, and an extremely good and satisfying ending.

Archer is a great adult animation. I find it so goddamn funny.

Bojack Horseman is probably has the best fictional depiction of depression ever. Also has plenty of funny moments.

Dirk gently’s holistic detective agency.

Erased is my favorite anime of all time. I’m a sucker for both time travel and “big damn heroes” stuff.

• Frieren was awesome but it’s so fresh I’m not absolutely sure it’ll keep being that

• Severance season 1 (follow-up seasons upcoming, not sure if they can keep up with the extremely high quality of S1)

• True Detective season 1

• Madoka was great, thanks to tight storytelling and the best soundtrack I’ve ever heard

• Kino’s Journey – somewhat similar to Frieren but 20 years prior

• Chernobyl (2019)

• Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

• Firefly

• Twin Peaks, especially seasons 1 and 3, but season 2 and the movie might be needed to fully appreciate

No. I don’t have a problem. I can stop whenever I want! Y’all up to date on One Piece btw?

Here are a couple that I didn’t see mentioned here.

• The Bear
• Ted Lasso
• Solo Levelling
• Dirk Gently holistic detective
• The Office
• Attack on Titan
• Code Geass Lelouch Rebellion
• Severance
• Bojack Horseman

I just finished Good Omens also, it’s great but the first episode is not because it’s all setup. It’s a Terry Pratchett story that I think I’ll recommend that one for a long time.

Lots of great recommendations but I have not seen anyone mention the anime Made In Abyss or Dr. Stone.

Made In Abyss has some taboo content early in season 1, but it and season 2 story arcs are the best I’ve seen of any anime to date. You will also need to watch the third movie Dawn of the Deep Soul before season 2. Movies 1 and 2 are recaps of season 1.

Dr. Stone is also great as a zany “what if” modern civilization was sent back to the stone age. Similar to made in abyss, you need to watch the OVA between seasons 2 and 3.

Call out to Goblin Slayer season 1 as well. The series visuals and story deeply fall off after season 1.

Bojack Horseman and Violet Evergarden. If someone is a bit deeper into anime, Tatami Galaxy as well, since the subs go pretty fast. Ping Pong the Animation gets a nod if folks aren’t super hung up on aesthetic.

Psycho pass.

Lots of philosophy on topics such as free will, determinism and AI mixed with action, in cyberpunk setting. Also nice end to end story in the first season.

The Expanse- Very grounded scifi with an amazing cast.

HBO’s Rome- The reason men can’t stop thinking about ancient Rome

Ranking of Kings- Anime that looks cute and wholesome but has surprisingly mature storytelling and compelling characters.

Dai-guard, a somewhat obscure mecha anime. It’s a comedy about what would realistically happen if you had a giant mecha fighting monsters from another dimension: bureaucracy, lawsuits, government interference, and physics.

Eh, screw it. I’m gonna watch Eureka again.
