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
In terms of worldbuilding and characters, One Piece is amazing. I also recommend Attack on Titan, Steins;Gate and Gintama. Gintama is mostly a comedy show, but certain serious arcs rival best action anime has to offer.
One Piece and Gintama definitely hit that FMAB thing of establishing a whole universe and getting you invested in ALL the characters.
I tackled Gintama over lockdown, and I have avoided One Piece forever due to the volume of material, but I’m almost caught up on the manga after only starting like 4 months ago, and I am wellllll into adulthood, but EVERYTHING about it has had me hooked since the first chapter and it is hard to stop reading it. I’m up to EP 200ish in the anime and I only started that after getting far in the manga. I’ve been watching anime for over 20 years, and One Piece has exceeded all expectations.
Gintama, I would say is funnier and deeper in the feels, Steins;Gate is a better story, but One Piece makes me feel like I’m on the adventure with the characters. I can only imagine how passionate I would be about it if I had followed it all these years.
I’m also going to plug Golden Kamuy every chance I get. That story rocks, has an awesome story and cast, and that really got me into reading manga because I couldn’t wait to see how it ended. Great stuff.
Lol I think im just intimidated by the size of One Piece, Ive heard its SUPER long. At the same time, if I do enjoy it then that is a BIG plus side. Thanks!
Well I’m seven episodes in and definitely on board, this is excellent
