    Death Note- Feels like a classic, don’t bother with the second season (like, just don’t).

    Angel Beats- In the running for my favourite, the best music and great plot/characters.

    Charlotte- Can’t remember this as well, but I definitely enjoyed it.

    No Game No Life- Hilarious and exciting.

    Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai- Sad, but good.

    Hyouka- Teenage me relates to the protagonist, plus after what happened to the studio I kinda have to recommend it.

    Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso- Music focused anime, had me crying and would definitely recommend. It’s got a lot of classical music, but even if you don’t like the genre (I don’t) you’ll probably still enjoy the music in this because of how it illustrates the character development going on.


    There’s so many I could recommend tbh, so I’ll just stop at these.

    Edit: I’m rescinding my recommendation of ‘Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso’ (My lie in April) after rewatching all 22 episodes. Teenage me (12/13/14) might have loved it, but I honestly can’t imagine calling it ‘good’ nowadays. Just, yeah, ignore that one. Hopefully the rest are still good and my life isn’t a lie.

    Before I suggest more Anime Shows, can you answer the following questions.
    What genre of anime do you like? and what genres would you not watch?

    A couple of good ones you are unlikely to have seen.
    Sport Anime: Major: A baseball anime that spans 150 episodes and the MC's childhood to being a dad. It has lots of well done hype moments and is written well.
    Mecha Anime: Buddy Complex: A Time travelling Mecha series with a epilogue ova. It has character interactions and climax, leading to a fulfilling epilogue.
    Shounen Anime: Buso Renkin: A Shounen where the guy and the girl actually have character development that does not spend years developing. Cool Fights and Good Music.
    FRENCH CARTOON: CODE LYOKO: found on youtube on the official Code Lyoko channel with all episodes. This one is my wild card that i hold the right to use as a recommendor , a story about fighting a computer system with futuristic tech while inside the internet, and is surprisingly good.

    Spice and Wolf - Are you interested in a Low Fantasy Economics romance story between a human merchant and a wolf spirit? It's great! Both leads are intelligent and mature, this is not a story based on stupid misunderstandings and cringe. Also Holo is maximum cute.

    Madoka Magica - A great magical girl story with good twists. Can't explain in detail because of those twists.

    Princess Tutu - Another magical girl story. Very meta about the nature of stories and storytelling, subverts some expectations.

    Dr Stone - SCIENCE! the anime. Basically the premise is a scientist trying to rebuild civilization in a post apocalyptic stone age. Has some shonen elements.

    Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Thoughtful postcyberpunk sci-fi. Probably one of the closest things you can actually find to pro-transhumanist visual media.

    Ascendance of a Bookworm - An isekai that isn't like most of the standard ones. A book obsessed recent graduate of library science is killed and reincarnates ... as a sickly dying peasant girl in a shitty, oppressive unromantic low literacy rate fantasy world. She sets out to improve her life, improve society and most importantly get herself some books. Will she be able to get to the point of introducing the movable type printing press? A long road is ahead of her - this is a slow story, if you want instant swordfights and such look elsewhere.

    Zombieland Saga - Explaining would ruin the great first episode .It's not the standard boring zombie stuff though. If you don't care about the first episode/require more explanation to ever consider watching it:
    A necromancer dude revives a bunch of girls to give them a second chance at life ... and get them to be a team of zombie idols! One of the rare pieces of pro-undead media.

    (Huh, this is my 2000th post)

    Yugioh

    Yugioh GX(english dub is hilarious but it's not fully done),

    yugioh 5ds(not fully dubbed)

    Yugioh zexel(slow start, okay ending is the second fully dubbed yugioh anime)

    Yugioh Arc V( Prepare for depression)

    I haven't watched yugioh vtrains but it might be okay.

    Never watch Yugioh sevens. It's protagonist is so god damn dumb he had to invent rush duels to actually duel people because he doesn't understand the rules of the yugioh card game.

    Do You Love Your Mom And Her Multi-Target Attacks? (that's not a question, that's the title)


    I know some fun series that for some reason nobody has watched but me:
    Dai Mahou Touge (psycho magical girl)
    Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan (psycho angel with magic stick)
    Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge (psycho superheroes)

    Also, Eromanga Sensei. Watch it. You know you want to.

    You could try watching Sword Art Online. It's currently airing the 4th season now

    I'd also recommend Machikado Mazoku/The Demon Girl Next Door.
    It's a comedy about a succubus demon girl who must defeat a magical girl to free her demon family from a curse of poverty. Actually has plot development and worldbuilding.

    Psycho Pass still holds up, definitely would recommend it. It’s a sci-fi crime anime with a great plot and interesting characters. Would give it a 9/10, a point taken off because out of the 22 episodes I really disliked one of them but loved the rest.

    Don’t know about the second season, will have to watch it first.

    Machikado Mazoku is a fun one. Well, the manga, at least. Haven't watched the anime.

    The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated



    It’s a reverse isekai, in which Jahy, the demon lord’s second in command, is stripped of her powers and forcibly ejected into Earth when the mana crystal maintaining her portion of the Dark Realm is destroyed by a magical girl. The only way for Jahy to regain her powers and get back to the Dark Realm is to gather up the fragments of the mana crystal and put it back together. But until she manages to pull that off, can she really manage to pass herself off as a human?

    Nope. She blows that in the very first episode.

    Since this has been resurrected-
    I would recommend you do not watch the second season of Psycho Pass, it is a vastly inferior repeat of the first. Just pretend it doesn’t exist.
