I enjoy some anime more than most other visual media, but I seem to be super picky about what I like and havent figured out what that is well enough to be able to search for new content effectively. Thus, I was hoping to get some recommendations from the community based on what I have enjoyed so far, if possible.

My favorite by far is Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and I have also really loved My Hero Academia, Bebop & Champloo, PsychoPass, S-Cry-Ed, Beserk, Inuyasha, and Bleach (to a certain extent, it has some things that are borderline tolerable but always offset it with more badass shit).

If anyone has anything that comes to mind from this list, I’d love to hear it! Thanks and happy new year

    Actiony:

    • Jujutsu Kaisen: probably the raddest one coming out right now in my opinion. Beautiful art and fight scenes. Great story.
    • One Punch Man: Love it. Very goofy. Again great art and fight scenes. Just be ready to have watched everything out and still no 3rd season.
    • Blue Exorcist: Classic boy finds out he has powers. Goes to a cool high school to train. I thought it was fun, plus I’m a sucker for supernatural stuff.
    • Code Geass: Great story with some political intrigue. I think this is on a lot of people’s top 10s.
    • All of Gundam: If you want to get sucked into a whole world with tons of series get into Gundam.
    • Deathnote: Fun cat and mouse thriller. Reminds me very much of Sherlock and Moriarty style cat and mouse games.
    • K: First season is great. Unfortunately I couldn’t get through the first episode of the second season. Maybe I’ll try it out some other time.
    • Castlevania: Follows the storylines similar to the video games. Just brutal vampire shit. It’s great.
    • Megalo Box: This one is amazing. Lofi hiphop vibes and a great underdog rocky style boxing story. Really gave me Bebop/Champloo vibes.
    • Assassination Classroom: Weird concept. I didn’t think I would like it but came to love it. Kids have to learn to kill their alien teacher by learning to be assassins.

    Some non-actiony animes if you are looking to branch out that i’ve enjoyed are Saiki K, Food Wars (so fan servicey but a really fun story if you ever liked Iron Chef), Zom100 (I guess this is kinda actiony, but more fun), Mashle (again actiony, but more goofy).

    I could probably list a million more but my list is getting really long. I also second the recommendations in the other replies.

      Jujutsu kaisen is good, I’ll second that one. If you liked that one, you’ll probably also like chainsaw man. It’s a bit more gore-y and the supporting cast are great

        Oh ya another great one! I’m excited to see how it shapes up but I’ve heard good things from people who read the manga.

      Wow lots of good suggestions, thank you! I keep eyeing Jujutsu Kaisen so that’s probably gonna be top of my list to try out. Ive actually done some gundam-ing, I watched the first two series on crunchyroll and ive seen wing and some other somewhat later ones but I always get mad I canr watch them in order because I just cant find them all. One day Ill just buy them 🤷‍♂️. I should have had DeathNote on my list, absolutely amazing show, I just somehow forget about it sometimes.
