I've been getting the suspicion that there's alot of great recent anime that I've not noticed in the deluge of trash.

Would appreciate any suggestions as to stuff really worth checking out.

To give an indication of anime that I've loved/liked:

  • Serial Experiments Lain
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion
  • Studio Ghibli
  • Ghost in the Shell
  • Revolutionary Girl Utena
  • Akira
  • Cowboy Bebop
  • Samurai Champloo
  • TraschcanOfIdeology [they/them, comrade/them]

    If you don't mind very violent things with great characters and plot (it gets way less violent with the second season), Vinland Saga has been the best adaptation i've watched in recent years.

        I think so, definitely. Season 1 is pretty much a shot-for-shot remake of the prologue, with great animation, fight choreography and voice acting. Season 2 is halfway done by now, and it should cover all of the farmland saga arc. The anime has fixed some pacing and storytelling issues that the author hoped he could've handled better, and while the animation is a bit rougher, the voice acting and cinematography are top notch. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
