I wouldn't really call myself a big anime fan (I've enjoyed some of the more known hits), but recently I've found myself really enjoying a few series so I figured I'd open it up here for more recommendations. I'm going to structure this for things I've enjoyed recently as well as things from ~13ish years ago (about the only two times I've really explored the medium).

Recent things I enjoyed a lot:

  • Frieren
  • Little Witch Academia (Movies and Television show)
  • Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
  • Promare

Recent things I thought were decent:

  • Kill La Kill

Past things I really enjoyed:

  • Gurren Lagann
  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
  • Code Geass
  • Black Lagoon
  • Cowboy Bebop
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion

Past things I thought were decent:

  • Soul Eater
  • Claymore
  • Monster

To try to help people hone in more I'm a big fan of fantasy settings (no isekai stuff please unless you have a really, really compelling reason for it) and I'm open to most genres. I've found that I like Studio Trigger stuff a good bit so if there are movies/series there that people also feel strongly about I'm especially open to those recommendations but I'm really open to most suggestions from people on this site as I imagine it'll filter out most of the chud-appealing/serviced content.

    Aura Battler Dunbine: It's the OG isekai from the 80s and based on a novel by Yoshiyuki Tomino (the Gundam guy). A guy from modern day Japan gets sent to a fantasy world where kingdoms are doing battle using bug mechs.
