    1. Dragon Ball Z
    2. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
    3. Cowboy Bebop
    4. Death Note
    5. Trigun

    I’ll go ahead and knock out the ‘normie that watched anime on TV twenty years ago’ list.

    I’ve got a handful of others I’ve seen and liked, plus some older and newer ones I plan to watch. But I need to really branch it out a little.

        One of my all time favorites.

        I verge on calling it my favorite, but I feel like Bebop or Eva could also take that spot pretty easily.

        (edit: I hate to feel the need to clarify that I mean the ORIGINAL 6-episode show FLCL, and not the 4 extra seasons of tacked-on bullshit that Adult Swim cooked up.)

        You got me! 😅 Well… Was there really a better time for anime?

        I am quite fond of some of the 80s (Gunbuster and Z Gundam are cool!) and 70s (Lupin the 3rd and Galaxy Express 999) shows.

        Other honorable mentions from my favorites: Ghost in the Shell SAC+2nd gig, Diebuster, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Tatami Galaxy, Ping Pong, Kaiba, Trigun, Trava First Planet, Space Patrol Luluco… too many more to name.

        Last year was pretty great too, with GQuuuuuuX, New Panty and Stocking, and CITY!

      Cowboy Bebop hooked me deep the first time I just saw it, and just at the intro… 🤘🏼❤️‍🔥

    1 - Redline

    2 - Cowboy Bebop

    3 - Clevatess (so far)

    4 - Gungrave

    5 - Yu Yu Hakusho

    Runners up:

    Dragon Ball (not Z at all), Akudama Overdrive, Summertime Rendering

    Teenager me liked way different list but idk if I could say if any aged well from my PoV like Trigun, Outlaw Star, Blood+, Kill La Kill, Gurren Lagann, Armor Hunter Mellowlink… many more. Not that I mind if it’s cheesy. I started watching One Piece at 35 years old lmao.

      Red-liiiiiiine, red-liiiiiiine, directed by Takeshi Koike wiki-wikiwiki-wiki.

      Technically a movie and not a show, but also one of my all-time favorites. :)

      I love Trigun, and I think the characters and world-building hold up today, but the show definitely gets a little shoddy just before the end. Tsuneo Imahori’s soundtrack for Trigun is incredible.

      I think Gurren Lagann also holds up. There’s a couple lulls in the show for sure, but overall it’s got great action and drama and some amazing animation set-pieces. (I never liked Kill La KIll that much.)

      Going back to Outlaw Star is tough, imo, it’s waaaay cheesier than I remembered it being.

    1. Space Battleship Yamoto 2199
    2. Frieren
    3. I Parry Everything
    4. Campfire Cooking in Another World
    5. Ashita no Joe

    I think I’ve got some unconventional choices there but if you’re looking for something new I would recommend any of the above. Space Battleship Yamoto 2199 in particular is spectacular.

    • 1: Steins;Gate
    • 2: Steins;Gate 0
    • 3: Cyberpunk Edgerunners
    • 4: Initial D
    • 5: Dimension W

    I pretty much never rewatch anything but I’ve rewatched steins gate and steins gate 0 about 3 or 4 times because it’s such a good show and they tie in so well despite being in alternate realities to each other. Edgerunners was what got me into cyberpunk and now I’m obsessed with it. Initial D is what got me into car culture, it’s a bit dated and I’ve never rewatched it but eurobeat paired with 90s JDM cars battling down a mountain is amazing. Dimension W is a good story but the only reason I chose it over something like Dr Stone or Rising of the Shield Hero is because I really like the 2000GT that the main character drives.—

    • One Punch Man
    • Sakamoto Days
    • FMA: Brotherhood
    • Way of the Househusband
    • (I haven’t watched it in like 15 years, don’t judge me) Hetalia but that was because I had unmedicated ADHD and was in middle school

    Wait. Does Castlevania count? If so I put that as my last entry instead.

    Hard to decide, but trying to put some variety into it, no particular order:

    • Natsume’s Book of Friends
    • Frieren: Beyond Journey’s end
    • Gintama
    • The Eccentric Family
    • Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju
      • PonyOfWar@pawb.social

        From your list, I’ve only watched Inuyashiki, which I do like, but it’s pretty different. That said, it’s a series I’d recommend to most people. It has a little bit of everything: Drama, comedy, slice of life, action and above all, a ton of well-written, interesting and, well, eccentric characters. Definitely helps if you like Japanese folklore and mythical creatures as well.

        If you’ve watched “The Tatami Galaxy”, that’s by the same author and kind of has the same feel and philosophy. But The Eccentric Family has a more coherent narrative and is a bit more down to earth.

    Recency bias go!

    1. Konosuba
    2. Dragon Ball Super (the ToP is the best arc, fight me nerds)
    3. JoJo
    4. Solo Leveling (the only series that made me go out and buy the Manga to see what happens next)
    5. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

    In no particular order

    • Frieren
    • Natsume’s Book of Friend
    • Tanaka-kun is always listless
    • Hunter x Hunter (2011)
    • Seitokai Yakuindomo

    And if the rest of the season is as good as the pilot episode, Journal with Witch. I’ve been waiting for the episode to comes out so I can hear what Asa was singing before the Bieber joke. It was delightful.

    Eh, I’ll throw Sword of the Demon Hunter there aswell. I’m in my mid 30s so I don’t really care about battle scene as much, though I wish it got better animations. You could say the story is similar to Frieren, though not as tight.
